How much to prune at early bloom stage

[Bgray88]

Question to the experts. How much should be pruned at early stage of bloom?

You have a beautiful grow going there. My only comment would be to selectively remove some of those sun leaves to allow some more light into the interior. Whatever you are doing is working great and letting more light in will definitely increase your yield. I'm very impressed and somewhat jealous. I miss growing in open ground.

I dove in my Bruce Banner this evening and fished around in the interior. Lots of small stuff, lots of dead leaves on branches. Ended up taking about 6-8 of what I would call "suckers" if it was a tomato plant. By no means an expert but it wasn't going to get any bigger way down inside. Gave bugs a place to hide as well, was just a big clump of sticky nothing that would probably cause bigger problems down the line.

Got yerself a little forest there..lol Agree with crucialbunny I wouldnt go too crazy just yet, their just starting to set some flowers. Just want to thin it out a bit so all those little bud sites get some sunlight and breeze. nice job

It depends on your location , it has been said that because they are outside that they don't need thinning out and in the perfect environment that's true but here in the North east our humidity levels go through the roof so after the third week of bloom I defole very aggressively I take all the fans I can ,all the small stuff on the bottom ,anything that doesn't have Pistil's showing .
I finished these 2 yesterday you can see the light difference from before to after by looking on the right side of the pic those are plants I haven't done yet hope this helps
