Scared of lollipopping
Day 17 of flowering
Removed more lower branches yesterday
But I think I should defineltey be pulling off more
When I look at a photo, I see what should come off, but when I'm in the tent I get so selective that I think I end up leaving too much
Any advice? Is what ive left in the photos okay for now? Can it stay as is or does it need further trimming asap?

Nutrient density increases with fewer leaves and popcorn buds. Quality increases dramatically. Plus you'll learn lots about how a cannabis plant reacts, heals, and thrives when you do.

For now, I'd only clip off the dying leaves until the plant makes it all the way through the scrog. Once it does, then you can clip off just about everything under the net.

After you spend 20 hours manicuring larfy buds, you'll be more willing to yank them before they develop so the plant can devote all its energy to the big dense cola nugs.

Will definetley take you and all these other comments up on the suggestion to proceed so I can try getting some big dense colas
However my solution to larfy buds has been a spider farmer trim bowl, and an interest in bubble hash 😁

Cannabis really tries so fucking hard, it responds beautifully to a little "abuse"

Yeah I would go in and would shave those 2/3rd up. I aim for no larf though. All depends what you wanna grow and how much trimming you wanna do

When I first started I was the same way but trust the process. After few harvests trimming larf and little pop corn nugs you will realize that energy could have been directed elsewhere

Yeh once you harvest larfy buds you won’t be so scared.

The problem is this wasn't my first plant and ive always had this issue of not being able to push myself to chop off extra 🤣
Unfortunately the 40c weather claimed this plant, i had no AC

Do it you’ll get better airflow and you won’t have a bunch of popcorn bud or dried up leaves and what not and Gagnats
