pruning in week 5 of flower

[hummusweed]

hello everybody... so i just defoliated and prunned in week three. Now its starting week 5 ,,, and im seeing that some of the plants needed more pruning of lower buds. My question is if i do pruning in week 5 of flower.. will that benefit the plant in anyway,, or is it too late to do that so the upper buds grow bigger. Will i only creat unnecessary stress? thanks

I usually don't prune during flowering. If I do, I take off some of the lower branches that aren't getting much light. I take off a few sun leaves at a time to let more light pass to the lower parts of the plant.

Week 5 is the latest. If your are gonna do it. Do it now. It won't stretch much. But 4 good weeks of no stress it will improve your top colas. But usually you want to touch it all up by day 21. Then let it go from there
