Ahh now I see pictures!!! Looking good man!!!

I trim a fair amount of my lower branches too but I stop before they get through the first week of flower, any longer than that and it really seems to slow them down.

Yeah I don't think you went too far I just wouldn't do any more lower branch trimming from here on out maybe look at how to support some of the middle and upper branches for fatter buds. Did you have a mishap one looks like the lights may have attacked it, was that the case if is that a nutrient issue?

assuming you have no light leaks and your temps and humidity and light schedule are all good most plants show signs of flowering within the first 4 weeks, at least all the ones I've grown have. If your running anything other than 12/12 I wouldn't be at this point, if they continue to not flower try 13 hours of darkness and 11 hours of light, or try 1 full day of darkness then back to 12/12.

are they autoflowers? do you mean 16 hour of dark and 8 hours of light? That will slowly diminish that amount or quality of your buds, seriously switch to 12/12 and watch your plants explode with buds

since most cannabis will flower with 12 hrs of darkness you don't want to give it any more of a dark period than that! why? you want them to get as much light as possible while still being able to flower...this way the plant will grow to its maximum potential.

Its ok to use less than 12hrs light if suggested by the breeder (some strains love less than 12hrs of light in the last two wks... like white widow

i personally grow like this: 18/6 for veg... (maybe) 24-48hrs darkness...then flower at 12/12. then i give about 48 hrs darkness before the chop.

i put them in the dark for 1-2 days from veg to flower to give them a kick start. ive noticed that i actually see hairs a few days quicker with that method versus just going from 18/6 to 12/12.

Hope I'm helping...not trying to be on a rant or anything.
