    Snip snip might be a good idea - take off the larger fan leaves laying around the bottom.

      I trim every 2 weeks. Just did last night. START FROM THE TOP IF YOU TRIM. Also, tie your biggest colas towards the edges of the tent

        There’s some good articles on this site about defoliation before and during flowering. You need to open her up and get some light to all those bud sites, especially the ones in the center because right now they’re being deprived of both light and air. Take off the big fan leaves from the middle down but leave the bud sites and sucker leaves. If you remove the top fan leaves you’ll actually hurt your yield and quality, they’re the engine driving the whole thing.

              Less is more. You don’t want to strip it bare, just enough to get some light in on those bud sites. For your first grow go lightly, just to be safe, then when the buds mature and it’s close to harvest all those small larf buds down low that didn’t mature properly because they didn’t get enough light will give you a better gauge of how low to strip it bare. Growing indoors there’s a point where everything below it is just wasting energy but it takes a few grows to figure that one out. Checkout this article, she explains it way better than I could lol
