I always wait until stretch has finished so I can see what to strip off

Ok cheers man, never had a plant with so many bud sites so close together, I'm already panickin it may get crowded and bring about the mould, temp and hum is good though. This is the Blue dream mother I took, I can reveg it after chop so's to keep the strain.

Ohh that looks like it could use a quick go with a chainsaw lol only messing but for sure it defo needs a little bit of a strip down but as M_C says that’s a very valid point indeed mind you if there’s the odd one or two that are right in the way yank em but that’s jmo and I’m no genius that’s for sure.

I've already done it once in veg lol, maybe twice. I'll hold on until it's visibly stopped stretchin and I'll do it then, let leatherface out the basement for a quick prune

i would.. and did. mine were a bit bushy as ive been quite busy and wasnt able to remove a few leaves every day or so.
they took it quite well. may do a light schwazz in around a week or so when i was actually meant to do the heavy one.

i recommend strategically removing some of those budsites too. i tend to keep the ones with strongest stems and not crowded by others.
