Pruning Bottom fan leaves?

Gorilla Glue week 5 Day 1 of 12/12 light schedule. I topped and tied down during veg and now started my 12/12, Can I still Prune these large bottom leaves that are covering the pot, Id like to make it easier to water and tie down by removing those large fan leaves but I know it's going to start stretching so if it will be a problem id rather just leave them and not overstress her.

A happy healthy plant can take a lot of abuse. Many folks remove sucker budsites and lower leaves well into flower, myself included. Go for it, if it makes it easier to water. No need to get assaulted by the same leaf every morning when you're trying to water the plants, eh?

Like they said. Its up to u. Plants that small i usually dont do heavy defo or lollipop. u will be fine either way. There's nutes stored in them and can be a god send if u have an issue during late bloom. Plant looks healthy so have at it if it makes it easier to water. It can also help air movement around plant.

Thanks for the input, you guys are awesome

I would definitely clean it up.........the plant won't even notice.

While I know it ill-advised I prune almost constantly though out the whole grow. Leaf is starting to age gone, blocking to much light from lower growth gone, in my way gone, way to fucking much of it 10% gone a week til I get air/light flow I like. Last 2 weeks of bloom any leaf that is not collecting pollen gets cut. Honestly weed is a vigorous plant and produces way more vegetation then is needed for healthy flower development most of it is used for protection from natural environments that are a non factor in your tent.

I would let it do its stretch and then tackle it

Give it a little bit of time don't shock it..

At least you're small listen I have one that takes over about 2 hours to trim everything... And after get done finished with it give it a week it'll be completely full again ready to go again..
