Should I trim some leaf to let light in?

TacoMac said:

No.

You trim lower leaves that aren't really providing any benefit.

Essentially, yes. But to get too overzealous.

No. That's a load of bullshit people made up.

It does seriously help keep mold and fungus from setting in by allowing more air to circulate through the plant.

It can be extremely helpful once you understand how the plants work, as a beginner, I would just lollipop it.
I prune hard , but it’s important to do it at the right times or you will hurt the end goal.
I would work more on keeping them healthy at first.

Some strains will respond to different stress in different ways, the same can be said for phenos . It’s important to find the right phenos for your system n growing styles.
Pruning at the wrong times could give you nanners , or hurt your yields etc.
Some like it some don’t , it comes down to grade 2 science, with a hypothesis, a control & a variable. And being able to make observations and data collection.
I hit them hard 2 weeks b4 flip, a little at flip n good lollipop, then once stretch is over , n lollipop again. If there’s any branches that I feel are a sucker I remove. Then it’s about light distribution.
Will removing leaves make your bud smaller? Yes
Will topping make your bud smaller? Yes
It’s all about % of light hitting bud sites
And keeping things in check.View attachment 4187324View attachment 4187334

I like growing bud not leaf.
Leaf sucks to smoke n makes poor extracts
