I have been cutting leaves off of these plants a few times a week for a while now. I lollipop them and took a little out of the top portion too. The one in the back corner is still really bushy and compact tho. Its almost like instead of spreading out more under the net it's just getting bushier. I want to flip them to flowering soon and I'm not sure how many leaves I should take off or from where. If I cut out a good amount from the top it would expose a lot more bud sites at the top that are being crowded. But I'm not sure if I should do this. Let me know what you think.
If your space is full prune the bottom 4-6 inches up and flip light to 12/12. If u get some stretch in 1st 2 weeks just keep tucking under net.
