should I trim her?

My GDP is a really bushy plant, and some of the foliage is blocking the inner buds. I have trimmed a little bit, and tucked/tied a lot, but she is still as bushy as a 70's pornstar. Which makes me wonder if I should just trim a lot of the excess foliage off of her? Would this be ok to do? Where would be the best/worst places to trim from? Should I wait til a later date to trim, and when should I do that? Any advice on this topic, or at all for that matter, would be greatly appreciated. I am a newbie to cannabis horticulture, but I am trying to cure myself of that affliction

Yea she is looking pretty bushy. Lookin good though. If I were you, I would half some of those big fan leaves. Soooo using your hand as an example of a fan-leaf, you would cut each finger right about the main knuckle. Hope that makes it clearer haha. But that's what I did to some of the fans on my plants, and it really helped the buds fill-in better. And don't do em all, or at least all in the same day; that might cause too much stress to the plant. But you can make 1/2 your clippings one day and the other 1/2 two days from then and be fine. Hope this helps!
