A question for an expert

I have 38 plants in a 4' x 6' table. I am 3 weeks into flower. My strain takes 9 weeks to flower.

I vegged a little too long so some are slightly too bushy.

questions :

1.) Is it too late to prune? I already have buds going. I have a lot of smaller stretched out branches not receiving a lot of light.

2.) would pruning smaller lower branches put energy into my top colas?

many will say not to but it depends on your situation and if thats all you have to do is thin it out a little bit thats ok, just don't go hog wild on her.just take like 5% to 10% off over a week 1/2 time.good luck

Pruning/leafing<<read through this its going to have to be your desicion ,good luck you can also try tucking leaves out of the way of the bud sights
