Lst getting a little thick

[Eternulwinter]

I have these clones vegging out in this one plant LST is doing pretty good but it’s getting so thick and so many bud sites will it harm the plant to cut away some of the leaves to make for some room I don’t want to hurt the plant

It's a bit pale. I'd condition it first. Let it get a bit greener. Then you can defoliate it. Right now it needs its feeding dialed in.

Trim that stuff out man, turn that girl into a many headed Hydra. Remove the leaves that have new growth where the leaf stem connects to the branch leaving the last 3 leaves at the branch end.

Give a light prune to improve airflow and get branches into light.

What you call bud sites is what is actually branches forming while the plant is in veg. If you remove just the leaf from the new branch site, and not the new branch growth, where the leaf connects to the branch, a new branch will form there and it will cause that new branch growth to speed up to replace what was lost.

Do just a little at a time, like one leaf off each branch so you can observe what happens. As long as you do not cut off branch ends, cutting off leaves will not hurt the plant during veg phase it will stimulate growth. Cut off as many as you like while in veg and watch. the results
