I don't ever trim a single leaf. I do a little supercropping and that's it. But I never remove any leaves.
Here's a couple grows with not a single leave removed.
Welcome to my jungle
Id like to see pics of the under growth?

This is them at day 23.
Could i get feedback??
Last feed was at 1150 ppms at day 1 of week 4. The runoff was 1250 ppm, ph is imaculate.
Hopefully the clawing i see insent from excessive feeding, hopefully im not over feeding.
Im feeding every other day, or every day depending on there thirst. Ive been giving them half a gall ech, so i mix 6 gall of feed, i get 2 gall of runnoff, im assuming thats around 25%- 35% runnoff since im getting 2 galls from 6.
I will feed more perhaps 3 qts ech untill i get to my 1 gal per pot.
I read some ppl feed 2 gal in 5 gal buckets. Every day or 2...
But im just going off them girls thirst

The problem is very simple if you grow out doors let them run free but if you are growing in doors you need to get rid of all the really low stuff because they dont make anything worth while unless you get concentrates from it but it still takes away from top production...
So growing in doors requires effort and time which is money even if you are a legal grower you are always looking for the best bang for buck so to speak..
Keep them as short as possible and lollipop them...
Do some research there is heaps of info regarding to this..
The person that let them grow wide inside you get bud rot any time because i bet you would be close to it with all the humidity in there with leaves touch each other or you suck the air out with no issues in regards to noise?@xtsho because if you had a big humidity spike all that would be gone....

I don't have any pics. The undergrowth is not as developed as the top growth I will admit. But it's developed enough to dry into nice little nuggets. I personally don't even bother trimming it. I just strip it off the stem and put into the pile for dry ice hash. Some people cut the tops and let the rest grow longer. I don't. I can guarantee that I get just as much good bud from the cola's that do get good light. They get huge, are hard as rocks, and my yields have been very good.
Either way, as long as your getting jars of good smoke who cares? I don't look at this as a competition. I grow as simple as possible. I don't have time or the desire to spend time trimming my plants so I let them grow. Maybe I would get more in total weight if I did but I don't care because I already get more than I need and have to give it away.
Anyway, I'll get some pics of the undergrowth and post them. It won't be impressive but even if it's not it still didn't take away from the rest of the plant. The main colas grow just as good if not better despite having a bunch of stuff that doesn't get good light. The leaves power the plant. That's just science.

Best response to this topic I've read.
I agree here. I lst mine and leave the growth underneath untouched. After i pull the top buds i let the bottom run for at least another two weeks. Great results with this. Only problem i have ever run into was plants trying to hermie if there is no light getting through the canopy. This has only been an issue with certain plants also. My BD has never hermied but white label seeds purple bud has done it every time with a lst canopy. Great thread guys. I may try to defo one time just to see what could happen. I am sure there is an art to it. Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
