Folks, should I trim this plant as it goes into flowering stage? Some people argue it’s better not to touch a plant so it’s healthy and grows as it should be in nature. On the other hand, people trim and adjust plants to get dense strong big buds. What do you think, does this plant need trimming?

Wait till about 3-4 weeks in and just pluck the lower leaves or ones that will open up some light to lower budsites and allow some good airflow in between everything, best way to describe how much is just make sure it all doesn’t look packed and crowded but don’t strip it naked either cuz u still have to leave on enough to allow the plant to feed on the light, just a nice balance in between
