so I’ve been debating on trimming my plants a little or just letting them go so should I trim all the big leaves to expose the buds?

I trim on a regular basis.
Anything that's pointed toward the center gets removed for air flow.
Large fan leaves that block bud sites also get chopped.

WWDank,
Just remember to leave enough leaf material to photosynthesize...I mean they aren't there just for decoration, they have a job to do.

I typically don't trim anything but the extreme bottom to keep the air moving. I like as many leaves drawing as much energy as possible.

You'll get more *total* yield if you leave all the larf, so it's a trade off.
I'm not fond of trimming huge plants with tons of larf so I lollipop main branches.

And if you grow outside, it's a good idea to keep the center as open as possible. It's where the badness usually starts...

I believe he's talking about defoliation not lolloping.
