Does anyone prune to allow more light to the lower budsites during flower, or would that interfere too much with the photosynthesis proccess?

I dont, because it shocks the plants. They'll divert more enegery to repairing rather than bud production, and, if you go overboard you could stress the plant into turning hermie on you. There's no real point, you could try tying the lower branches up, but personally, i wouldnt cut anything. It doesnt really need it.

i run my hand lightly throught the growth. Dead leaves and those that aren't attached well just fall off.
Other than that, I clip off nothing.
Bend and/or tie the leaves in a different direction if they are blocking new growth.

I just let the dead leaves fall off by themselves, otherwise, I just bend them out of the way ... as stated previously, the plant needs its leaves for nutrients and photosynthesis ... :smokin:
