Trim the lower leaves or not... that is the question

First time grow with a Aquamist system I'm running 11 plants in their 16' 2" system im at the 11th day from transferring them from cloning table to the Aquamist system and its getting bushy in there here's the pics... View attachment 2117478View attachment 2117479

So should I trim the bottom leaves and change over to flowering cycle or just leave them be and give them another week or so????

I personally would clean up the bottom 1/3 of the plant then flip to 12/12 in a few days. Then I would trim again around the end of week 2 of flower to rid the plant of branches that will not produce much. Then...hands off until harvest!

Exactly what I do !!! Clean up those clones, let the tops strengthen , then 2 weeks after 12:12 all pruning should be finished !!

The auxins and hormones will be concentrated to the tops of the plant so this is where all the energy / growth will develop !

Good Luck !
