trim out a lot of those fan leaves...you're not getting ANY light to those lower nodes. if you plan on harvesting the tops a week or two before the lower parts that's OK I suppose. However, what I would suggest is trimming the lower nodes almost completely off and allowing all energy to be sent to the top colas

what I meant is to trim the node COMPLETELY off. the fan leaves and the bud sites....do this from the bottom all the way up to just under the main bud sites. you'll get fatter top nugs this way
lookig good, maybe bend the taller branches down and make a more even canopy.
Start trimming the top fan leaves first. I trim a little off at a time to keep the stress low for the plant, just my opinion. You could trim all the lower stuff off to have a better top cola as mentioned aboveor trim a little and use some of the small stuff for hash. Your preferrence. I like to trim any lower branches, or small ones that wont produce anything.

Yea I agree I usually do a bending technique so I cut anything that will not reach the canopy. Do not wait to long tho because if you cut after they start to form buds it will not make the top colas bigger. Cut by week 2 and 1/2 at latest.
Looks like 2 of the three were males...the larger of the three was the only female. Thanks for the tips. Since there is more room in the grow area it got pulled apart some more and some of the older fan leaves were trimed. There is a lot more space between the tops now, plus the side lighting. all in all lookin good...

I have been perfecting the LST method and I have to say I don't understand why more people don't lolli-pop. You should definitely consider it while using LST, you will get very generous nugs.
When flowering first starts i go straight to the lowest nodes that I know won't be getting efficient light. as the buds come in you can decide whether or not to take of more but after 4 or 5 weeks i would stop pulling.
i can post pics of my LST soon if you'd like to see, my method seems to be effective
