after reading much on this site and asking fellow growers there is so much controversy. so for those of you that do believe in cutting off branches to produce bigger colas on top please help me.do I cut the thick branches at the bottom or do I keep the long stocks and only cut off this spindly little shoots out of those.I am 1 week into flowering. .she is an outdoor plant and for the past week I've been bringing her in a dark room at night to force flower I've seen tremendous amount of growth just in this last week especially last 2 days.white hairs starting to stick out so I'm really wanting to trim the branches I'm supposed to now. I have been plucking and trimmingthroughout the grow.t I know now is a crucial time and I just am not sure which ones or how much I should be cutting at this point here's a recent photo just taken

Does anyone know if she needs more or just let her be now till end..any advice? ?I think you can see how I trimmed the bottom part of the plant. I know there is a lot of controversy so I thought I would try it myself.

Leave her alone. It is outside and should get plenty of light on lower stuff. It is not to dense with leaves.

Thanks to u all for your advice. I won't touch her anymore. How does she look?? does she look like she is going to do well for me or do you think I cut too much already?

that bottom/front guy wont make anything 'amazing' but... its still gonna give a decent enough bud to leave it, I'd let her ride just like that, the Sun is a good grow light ;)

"about a pound" is the standard answer to all the 'how much will I get' questions. That said, your plant looks very good, I'm sure you won't be disappointed no matter the yield.
