Trim for beauty, prune for growth. I would start by taking the bottom 25-33% off the bottom. In full sunlight like that defoiliation is not as necessary as it is under lights, which are obviously much weaker than the sun. I have never measured it but I think the sun is more luminous that a thousand watt HID. As a rule of thumb you should always prune the bottom branches off.

Lmao! Yeah they are because of how the sun tracks in my area they get sunlight from 6am to 8pm-ish. it also allows me to move them to my back yard for the darkness. That’s why I can’t plant in ground bc the plant would be in veg 24/7 due to the street lights.

Do what ya want, within reason and time of growth. My White Buffalo, has large, thick foliage. Most here would cringe at this, but I took out the big fan leaves as the plant grew in height. Leaving at least 3-4 nodes above it still with their fans. As the next one grew out, I removed the bottom 2 fan leaves. 2 days ago, I removed the last few, and the branching is going wild.
It's susceptible to mold a bugs, and I'm in Ohio, land of constant changing weather and critters. So there's that.
