i see no Reason to trim anything here. just remember, the leaves are the motor of the Plant
they are pumpig the juices into all parts of the leaf.
here is no reason to take away anything

Leaves are important anatomy. You should strive to keep them, not look for any reason to remove them.
read "to defoliate or not" on cocoforcannabis.com - gives an honest, rational take on defoliation. People say a lot of things. Little of it has any evidence to support it.

Just remember.........
Maximum amount of leaves = maximum energy production = maximum (yield) potential.
ALL of the plants energy to grow its flowers is made by/in the leaves........less leaves = less energy = less growth.
Removing leaves to increase yields just does not compute!

"When should or can you trim some of the big fan leaves?" only on rare occasions, basically. More leaves = more energy to make Buds
Here? Don't.

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!
