Chop'd Yo Water Leaf's Face Off!

My ladies are still bushy as hell and the flowers in the middle of some look real undeveloped. What are the opinions for cutting some water leafs off at the top of the plant to let light down through to the middle and through to hit neighboring plants? I've read some info on sticky's but want to see if any info has changed seems some say its ok and some say never to, some say its even best to do in flower to cause some stress..... what do YOU think!

middle of week 6 flower
Afgahn Kush
Aero / Ebb System
PPM's 1350-1450 (after a burn) was up at 1550 and the ladies were loving it
2 x 1000's over a row of 12 light covers and overlaps

I'll post a bushy pic below so you know what I mean.

Any help is appreciated

All the best,

Hm... I don't know. How much were you thinking of cutting? I wouldn't.

You might want to thin out some lower fan leaves on the plant in the second to the last photo, though.

I say let the plants duke it out ... it's something they evolved to do after all. cn

I've tried stripping them down, and i've let them grown untouched. Some strains react really well to it, some react really bad. Here's some advice...

If it aint broke, Don't fix it.

Sounds good I'm going to let nature take its course, just wanted to make sure I wasnt making a mistake.

Thanks
