i think i made a mistake with pruning

first of all , my plant is roughly 6 feet tall and into its second month of flowering, it is outside in my back yard in florida , buds are forming , but are nicely developed given it is only geting roughly 10 hours of sleep at nights ( for now but i read in mid july and august it starts to change) any way i got carried away with the pruning ( its very addictive once you start) i still left quite a few hand sized fan leaves at the nodes , but i clipped away some that were blocking the lower covered buds from getting sunlight. i just read in different forums that was a bad thing and it might slow bud formation. ( which actually might be a good thing because i want it to finish budding in august) can someone tell me if pruning is necesary at all during the maybe last month or so of budding

I never cut a leaf after flower begins. Those big leaves are like batteries or back up fuel for a vigorous budding plant. If bud sites are being blocked by large leaves tuck or tie them out of the way. Dont worry to much though shes a tuff ole plant and will live through much worse than an occasional over trim. To get optimum flower growth try to do all future trimming in veg cycle. Good luck !

you generally dont want to cut fan leaves after the 2-3rd week of flowering. it will extend the flowering time def
