Low Profile Strain; Pruning suggestion?
Top 44 at 6 Weeks

Should I cut out some of the fan leafs maybe at the bottom of the big one to stimulant upward growth?
The one on the right or leave them alone because it's they way it grows best.
Thanks
Tom

You are still in veg...I assume? I cut the bottom 1/3 of my plants about a week before flowering only to reduce the tiny buds down there, increase air flow and it makes it easier to water.
There is no need to cut fan leaves unless they are almost completely dead.

Here is a top/fim chart - hope this helps

Sorry but I'm a little confused on the graph.

What are the differences between the fimm cut location and the topping cut location?

If I chose to use the fimm cut location, what is the advantage of that compared to topping?

It looks like after using the fimm cut location, you cut off a little bit of the main stem and all the new fan leaves.But the stems of those new fan leaves are still intact.Am I correct?

I'm thinking of trying this on my new grow. I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly before I chop off something important where it will hurt my yield or my plant.
