None of it. Why would you? The fan leaves are literally the engine driving the thing.

Not even close to being enough foliage there to consider trimming any off. Even at that, defoliation is a rather controversial practice and you really have to know your plant well to not do more harm than good. I always do my best to just tuck away fan leaves that are blocking light, I only clip them off as an absolute last resort measure.

Yeah, just tuck those leaves out of the way if they block anything. But removing leaves will do more harm than good for this plant.

In veg I would axe those 2 big fokkers to help branches grow. It will all grow back.

If you prune everything and leave a pencil stem, it will grow back.

Well you have to leave nodes.

What? In all my years I have never seen a plant branch out from the stem. Do you have pictures of this miracle lol. They always branch from nodes.

why prune leaves when you can pour a gallon of bleach into the medium? the bleach will instantly flower your plant into maturity, dry & cure your buds all in one pour! it just takes 3 days for the process to complete.

@Renfro Do you remove upper plant leaves in flowering to let light penetrate?
