Could try to trim some of the bigger fan leafs to open more air flow and light to what’s underneath, just remember to help reduce shock never trim over 40% and two of those fan leafs equal close to 40%.

Those come down to choice and how you want to trim and do upkeep on the plant. Like me personally the real lower leafs I let them run their full life cycle till their “”dead pretty much yellow and drained than take them off. From mid plant up I trim to open the plant for better air flow and light penetration for side branching and etc. I see you got ties and your doing a training method I haven’t done yet so, maybe trimming might work different so I can’t honestly say since I’ve never done that grow training which could have different trimming guidelines and etc.

Hey man, would you recommend trimming the top fan leaves to allow more light to the bottom? Or should I just keep lst. I feel like my plant is growing much more leaf than stem? Its getting to the point where If I move a stem in any direction it will just cover up another section down below

I remove the oldest largest leaves when defoliating... after about 60 days they stop photosynthesizing as efficiently. I'll pull a few top leaves blocking lower clusters only if the light will be hitting other leaves and bud sites. Always keep overall photosynthesis in mind. Think of it like a flat surface and you want every bit of light being absorbed by the plant if that helps.

Yeah makes sense, bigger the surface area per leaf, more photosynthesis, remove leaves if blocking bud sites appreciate it aqua

I'm thinking about topping first, taking the 2 newest nodes, and cloning it then waiting a week to recover then start removing large fan leaves covering the undergrowth. I'm hoping in doing so I can make my canopy more even and spaced out. Definitely open to suggestions I'm hesitant about topping but I want to know what you guys think

If it’s an auto flower base strain, topping is not suggested for them.

Oh boy, well... lol only time will tell on that factor. I don’t wanna be the one say yes and do it when the plant is a auto, their goes your main coil and growth. I would grab a second opinion. But for a first grow I would t go crazy with techniques, I would say let it grow and trim here and their and just get that basic first grow out of the way and when done do a self review and see were and what you could improve on and etc.
