How do I look for about 5 weeks in flower ?

I am a Beginner and I’m just wondering if I’m looking good ! Open to any advice, don’t hold back! Please excuse the blurple lol don’t beat me up please haha

Take pictures without the light on, purple makes it difficult to see

I turned the lights off for 30 seconds to take these , it wouldn’t bother her would it ?

No it wouldnt

Good ! Well she’s about 6 feet tall , I have buds in lower branches. I realize I should’ve been more aggressive with defoliation

They look good for your first try dude

I think they look fine. Less leaves wouldnt have changed much, a better light would.
Better off removing the lower budsites than the upper leaves.

I will never understand the removing of leaves to help the lower larf. Grow tops.. Lots of them.

What do you mean by that ? Like topping the plant more ?

Lights can only penetrate so far. If not using a quality light that penetration is lessened. Need to figure out how far light used can make quality buds and remove the rest. The better the light with training/tucking/defoliation
the more you can save. Everything that needs to be removed is larf its light, airy lesser quality and no good. You do not want to waste time trimming that shit

More toppings, a scrog, whatever method you chose that keeps a nice even canopy with the primary goal of tops. Lowers arent good for much but hash or the edible pile
