Was curious 1 of my plants is 52 in. tall in a 3 gallon pot bushy beautiful but buds arent fillin in on this one although its got 5 more weeks flowering. Can pruning give my buds more room? Thanks for anyone who knows.

In any case tuck 'em. Don't trim fan leaves.. Do some ties so the bud sites get more light etc...

Lollipopping.... prunning everthing underneathe and leaving just the tops... Better quality buds. Saves on trimming all those god damn popcorn buds

At what point do you do the trimming on the lolipops?? And is it like one branch a day, or one every two days(for less stress on hydro grow)?

I am not sure I heard about it for the first time this week I aggresivly prune right at the star of the fist day of twelve and twelve I only leave top chutes on all branches main and little ones. then I take hanger wire and plant and bend the plant any way I see fit to maximize space under light. once you have don this during the "strech" that follow I get a shit load of quality bud sites.View attachment 2024818View attachment 2024819

medical2.jpgmedical1.jpg This is 4 weeks in 12/12(pics), any way to get them trimmed down at 5 1/2 weeks(now), so they can open up, but stay healthy? or am i too late to help the bud thicken?
Since pic, there was a center plant, that i sacrificed so i could get light to the middle., but still want to trim, only if its safe to at this stage
Thanks for any help!
