More light equals tighter nodes which in turn makes bigger longer colas. You need to clean lower branches done to remove the little shot to make the plant put it's energy into producing fatty colad

Allot of pruning, if any isnt really needed. In the future, prune before flower during transition. I personally only remove as little as possible. Just the fans directly ontop and blocking bud sites. Less is more, leave as much as you can, she'll thank you for it when you flush.

Your plants look well.......A couple of grows ago I started lst as soon as I could.....I ended up with pants very similar to yours.......the end result was loads of rock hard medium size colas that yielded much the same as my taller plant's(no lsting)......so my thoughts on this method of growing are......lsting gives you small bushy plant's with imo better quality buds........non lsting but using the topping method equals bigger buds but quality is a fraction down compared to lst.......

They do look nice and bushy. Id be more concerned about blasting it with light than pruning. Like budman111 said, more light equals more bud. I dedicate 400 watts or more per 5 gallon pot. I find side lighting really helps the lower smaller flowers to ripen at the same rate as top colas.
