Yes i depends on what your talking about when you speak about pruning. Topping NO, taking some leaves off OK

Ya just cutting some leafs off so I can get my lights closer to the bud spots. I just dont want her focusing on leaf growth and not bud growth cause they say cuttin leafs will make the plant use energy growing leafs but I need to so shes not so thick with leafs I want thick with buds lol :)

What I do, leave the leafs, the plant will shed them when it doesn't need them.
come harvest, only harvest the mature flower clusters, cola, side branches. Let her flower another 2 weeks, harvest the rest.
every sun leaf you cut off its like destroying a huge factory, the plant makes alot of energy with the sun leafs.
You can trim to, just think about it before you go scissors crazy.

I was gonna cut the little fan leafs not my big ones but what do u mean by triming
Trim/pruning, same thing.
its a tough call bro, I been down that road before. There in flower, there putting all there energy into flower right now. The only leaf production that should be going on are the small tri-leaflets that surround the buds. You prune to much you can set the plant back some. You can tuck the leafs under branches, keeping them, and also getting them out if the way. If possible. Good luck with your baby.
