Too late to prune?

So I have 5 beautiful NL ladies growing in a hoophouse and they are impressive... My skills, however, are not. The bottom branches are dragging and often get sprayed when I water so I'm worried about mold later on towards harvest. They are 2-3 weeks into flowering. Is it ok to prune them a bit now? Will I lose yield or should I expect them to reinvest that energy into other buds? First post here, thanks for your wisdom!

Yes do not be afraid to pull off the bottom growth- (research lollipop-ping) its not really gonna produce squat anyways. If it's touching the dirt or turning yellow just pinch it off; it will benefit the plant by pushing the energy to the tops where the buds need it. If there are lower branches drooping in the dirt cut em off & make clones.

Thanks Rich. If I clone them do I need to do anything to reveg them or just put them indoors om 18/6?

Me personally, i never do any trimming after second werk of flower.

Hotshot, is that personal preference or did you have a bad experience with older flowering mothers and clones?

I did a huge under-trimming after the stretch, about week 3 on all 18 of my flowering girls. at week 4.5 my flowers are HUGE (for their growth time), and no bottom bullshit to worry about. been doing this way for years w/o any issues.
