Did I prune my baby right so far?

So, I was reading the growfaq, and couldnt find any pics on pruning, I also did a search...

So with the into I had I made my first two cuts, as you can see below, I cut two fan leaves off so the bud pods next to them would expand to make up for it... right?

The plants are still veggin and their preflowers as you can see are fucking huge.

Im thinkin I should continue my pruning with the top two fan leaves as seen in the pic

Thanks for reading and this is my first post, but Ive been lurking for a bit

leave them on there. don't cut unless you have too those leave are providing energy to your plant

From what I gathered from the growfaq, its recommended for higher yields and bushier plant growth?

Or did I miss something...?

pretty leggy, they need light to get bushy

Ok, well I though I had decent lighting, 4x 4' 5000k daylight flourescent bulbs.. made for indoor growing, lol.

I really want an hps but god dammit i dont have that kinda money to throw around, are there any other recommended lights for flowering?

seeing how thin your plant is made me feel a lot better about mine..lol..no offense

well you defiantly need more light. if you can't afford hps and such go to wal-mart and get some cfl's. 100 watt equivalent bulbs come in six packs for about 15 bucks, and reflectors are six bucks each.
Walmart.com - Always Low Prices! - GE CFL Light Bulb: 26 Watt (100W Equivalent), 6-Pk

I think your thinking about topping to make it bushier. but it looks like your plant is already budding so it's to late for that.

you definitely made a mistake. Seeing as your plant is incredibly..bare you really needed those fan leaves to provide the energy you needed.

Now if your plant was actually bushy/had several fan leaves off of the side-branches (budding branches) and the fan leaf was lower/not receiving any/enough light (and hence just wasting energy rather than gathering it) to be useful, you'd be right to clip the wasteful bugger.

i just bought a GE 42w spiral CFL at walmart tonight for under $9. Says 2700 lumens and will fit into a regular socket.

wow!

And?

just adding some current info to the post before on the 26w CFL's at walmart.

need me to hold your hand any further

Yeah mate you pruned too much, Remember leaves are the plants power source, So rather take a little off the top to stop it from from being a long thin stringy plant. If you have more than one plant prune to keep them at the same height, otherwise leave them alone

Okay, gotcha! Are you tall and blonde with tit's and a pussy?

Leave leaves alone! Removal of healthy leaves hacks up a healthy plant. Removing large fan or shade leaves DOES NOT make plants more productive. Plants need all their leaves to produce the maximum amount of chlorophyll and food. Removing leaves slows chlorophyll production, stresses the plant, and stunts it's growth. Remove only dead leaves or leaves that are more then 50 percent damaged.

Whelp i suck.
