Advice on pruning needed

Hi all,

im a relatively new grower and I’m trying the manifold technique for the firsts time. I’m happy with the height of my plant so far and now I want to put it into flower. I’ve heard this is the best time to prune away growth that won’t produce good sized buds. Do I just choose a height and remove the foliage below it? I don’t want to go mad and wreck it so any advice is welcome.

I’ve included pics, the lower leaves have yellowed due to lack of light penetration.

Pruning is where the art of growing comes in:

From the pics , I would simply take only the dead leaves and everything below the horizontal axis on the mainline.
When you flip it into flower and see how tall it gets then you will have a better idea.

Things to consider is- how bushy the plant has become.
The height of the plant at about 2 weeks from flip compared to the penitration depth of your light will dictate if you need to do more, as often plants that have a manifold may NOT need any additional pruning.
