I'm not against various pruning's for various reason. I've learn when and why and how to do it. One being to prevent pm or mold. There are a couple other reasons to do it.

If a plant doesn't need it, it will shed it.

What I have a problem with is people telling new growers to hack on their plants with no rhyme or reason. No guidance. Cutting the wrong parts can cause more harm than good.

So the ones that say yea take the op's pic and circle what you would remove and why.


@Kronickeeper

Yes a plant can be grown too big for the light. If you don't out grow the penetration ability of your light then you don't get a lot of shitty buds. Light actually passes through leaves.

You can figure the penetration on any light. Don't out grow it.
Well if you go back and read I advised the OP not to defoliate. So not sure how what your saying even applies to me. As far as out growing the light a one foot plant can have shaded budd sites that, shrivel and turn light colored because of not getting light. The light is only "passing through" to a certain degree. Like I said do what works for you. If your happy not defoliating than don't. It works for me so I will keep doing it. It's only one tool in the tool box though. There are other methods to utilize to create An even canopy to take advantage of over head grow lights. People will lolli pop with no problem but freak out if you pinch off one leAf makes no sense
