Posted once before but got no response. Question about clipping

should i clip my plant while in 12/12 and looking at the pictures should this plant be clipped?

I cut anything away that's blocking light to bud sites. I also cut small popcorn buds away at the bottom of plant not getting light.

what is a pop corn bud?

tiny flowers that won't grow past popcorn size because insufficient light

From your pictures, I would not trim anything (yet).
Are these photos taken with all your lights on? If yes, I would look to add more light(s). If you can get some light to the lower portion of your plant, you might not need to trim anything.
Plant looks pretty healthy - good luck with your grow !

Hey rengalisback your plants are looking great. From what I have noticed most growers grow with the philosophy of avoiding clipping and pruning too excessively during the flowering period as to avoid undue stress. Personally what I have had success with is on the day of flipping to 12/12, I will prune about 1/3 of the branches off of the bottom of my plant. This is commonly called lollipopping. This allows better airflow throughout the plant and allows me to get multiple clones for the next cycle. It is also commonly thought that the lollipopping forces the plant to direct its energy on the remaining upper 2/3 of plant thus increasing bud size. i have no scientific data to back this so i cant claim that fact as 100%. This works for me because I grow perpetually year around indoor in a modified walk in closet. For some this might not be needed... If nothing else a good thing to do to get last minute clones. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the advice. Im thinking of taking some clones right before harvesting. I heard that if you just put them under 8/16 again they will go back into veg.
