Pruning during Flowering

[Vaibag]

Need some advice on pruning please.
My plants been flowering for 5 and a half weeks and foliage is starting to get a bit thick and blocking the light for some bud areas.
What leaves can I cut off and how much foliage can I cut off without stressing the plant too much??

I wouldnt take any off mate just fold the couple in that are blocking bud site

Yeah what growell said. That plant isn't thick. Leaf tucking is your friend.

Pruning is like hair cuts, everyone has their preferred style. I would favor selectively removing a few leaves that block light from the buds.

Thank you very much for the advice! I bent the fan leaves back blocking the light. Which puts my mind at ease as I was freaking out about pruning at this stage.
It’s because I f$&@ed up my LST, all good I’ll make sure to not do that to the next plant.

Thanks heaps for the advice everyone. Bent the leaves back.
Should I chop these 4 little branches though that have buds the size of a BB gun ball?

 

[LemonBud]

Yep pretty much a 1/3rd down to the base.

I’m 6 weeks into flowering though and from everything I’ve read I should’ve done it no later than 3 weeks lol looks like again I’m late to the party!
All good I’ll make sure I do it to the next plants.

I trim my auto several times after flowering, Super Soil with Coco Loco and Baccto potting mix, 5 gal fabric pots, straight tap H2O ph 6.5 Was able to scrape off some residue from my snips for "Rat Turds", about 1/4 and buzzing for a couple hours, potent shit!:hard-laugh:

oldandintheway Just curious, did you have to bring in structural engineers and a construction crew to put that tent up? Lotsa room in there bro. Nice work on the plants. Just gotta love them rat turds.

Actually the tent was a breeze to set up, takes up a lot of space in my garage but i've never parked a vehicle in there anyway. The rat turds were a pleasant surprise! Checked the trichs this morning and damn if 3 out of four plants were beginning to turn amber. So I immediately began the harvest and hung them all in the tent, lights out now for a couple days, probably check them in a couple of days.
