Everyone I do a pruning I can't help but to feel like I over did it, each time the guilt feels deeper... I mean after i snip some fan leaves and lower branches she just looks sad
Anyone prune too much??

This time I didn't do so bad, but 4 lower branches( 3 with droopy leaves due to lack of light) and 2 large fan leaves seems much

Try topping them a few times and then supercropping. Train. Don't prune. Fan leaves are the engines driving the plant.

I had this problem but joined Pruning Anonymous (PA) and now I maintain with a meeting once a week, good luck

Thanks, I think I'm going to just let it bush out and see how it yields I've always pruned and got decent yields from small plants. I have the room and light to do so, why not? More worried about the stretch as I am limited on height indoors, so impatient I just want to switch to 12/12

It's ok to turn the light off to take the picture. It's not going to hurt anything

Plant looks good. Kinda purpley. New strain?

Yeah I always used to feel guilty too lol but I started training like Harley said, and it seems to drastically reduce the need to prune. Just a leaf here and there maybe. Plant seems to look good.

She looks fine... You do want to make sure not to prune too much bc you want to have that insurance in case some for or you have some issues with nutes and burn some up. Looks good as is. I wouldn't take anymore until about 2 weeks after flower. Do another heavy pruning sesh.

Thanks for the advice Yam I planned on doing a light prune on Friday when I switch to 12/12, or should I wait to prune til after the switch?

Don't pick at it so often. It only need 2 or 3 pruning sessions. The last one being at 3 weeks of flower. Look up the lollipopping technique for bigger top flowers.
After a pruning session you should give it about 2 weeks to bounce back.

Well if I plan on switching 12/12 this Friday, sounds like I shouldn't prune anymore seeing I've already done so twice
