Oh no one's offended, we just have different ideas of what "hard" is.

As was mentioned, and I speak from experience, remove leaves and buds that are too far down to receive adequate light. The plant will focus her energy on the remaining buds and you will actually get a better yield from those than you would without LP'ing.

I think he meant it's hard to bring yourself to attempt it for the first time. I treated my plants like they were newborn babies. I remember finally working up the nerve to supercrop and feeling horrible while I was doing it.

Defoliation is removing leaf matter only. Pruning is removing small branches at the bottom or removing anything that won’t reach the canopy and produce. Also labeled lollipopping

I’ve circled some branches you could remove, the leaves and larfy buds should come with them when you cut the branch. Any other small branch you see like them can also come off, and once again the leaves and larf will come off with them.

This might not matter but since these are braches I'm taking off is there a good time of day or night to do this, or does it not matter? I've only taken off fan leaves and it didn't matter when I did that.
