To prune or not to prune?

[Bcrane00]

This is about week six. Had them under little t5 for 3 weeks. Then a mars 2 400. Actual draw 180. Had a little bit of bleaching but seems to have gone after a flush and cut back on nutes. Bigger growth after cut back on nutes as well.

I've got some leaves on the very bottom shaded in by the big fan leaves above. Should I prune them? These plants where topped about 3 days ago. Light distance is now 20 inches instead of the 16 I had it at. Figure it had to do with a little bit of burn I was getting. Is there some lst you would recommend at this stage? This is my first grow.

Don't look like its needed yet. Defoliate when you need more penetration to catch other areas of the plant up.

I agree, you don't have too much to uncover with defoliating. If you really want to, you can try tucking the leaves, if they're even big enough.
