Dark/Light will not have as much as an affect as other things such as Drying/Curing, gentics, etc. I just chopped my first real grow and did it mid day.
My first chop ever, I went for cloudy trichomes.
You can see my LST with whats left.
Are those nanners under nearth/at bottom or just unripe calyx?
I left the middle/underneath and put her back in tent to see if they finish or continue to grow.
I use Fox Farms Ocean forest with some extra perlite mixed in. I started them in Rapid Rooters and then right into 5 gallon fabric pots. Just water until week 5 then 1/2 str nutes on their feeding schedule
I have 500 PPM tap water and here are my current plants. I just let it sit out for 48 hours for the chlorine.

First grow I am at week 11....I am about 1 week from chop except for plant 4. I accidentally snapped her stem in Veg doing LST. She recovered but is a bit behind, hoping for the best.
I lost track of the strains but its Super Lemon Haze, Ak-48, Glueberry Auto and 1 mystery.
Anyone can comment...
Its my first grow but I figured the less I mess with them the better....seems to be working great for me. I am using fox farms trio and ocean forest soil.
You can still LST but just be careful not to break stem. Here is some of my LST from current grow which happens to be my first real grow! I started very young after 2nd/3rd set of true leaves. The goal is to keep the canopy even, just google LST for some great guides.
Not sure I would trim that so early. There is plenty of light still getting down...that girl is not bushy...lol.
It seems you are not using any LST so I am not sure trimming it would do any good. The point of trimming is to expose the inside and helps mostly when using LST.
Check this grow...
