Trimming Leafs

Ok, First time grower here. I got 2 nice female plants and they are starting to produce buds. Do you ever trim the stems with leafs with no buds on them? The girls have some big leafs with no buds and they seem to blocking some sun to the smaller buds. Any Advice here??? Thanks!

No. I am an outdoor grower so light is not an issue.

Nooooooo. Leaves use the light to make the buds. Why would you cut therm off?

Ok, the girls are outdoor plants. How much direct sunlight do they need? It's hard to hide them and get direct sunlight all the time. I thought the bigger leafs with no buds could be trimmed. Each plant has about 15 to 20 small buds. Is that a good amount?

Anything over 6 hours direct and some indirect will be fine. Our indirect light is brighter than your typical indoor setup

You can pull her main stem back gently and tie it to open up more budsites. It's effective up to a couple of weeks in flower.

Do not trim. The bigger leaves are the factories for the whole plant. Better yet, cut all of them off and wait. Let us know your yield.
