[HarryM]

Does anyone know if you can prune bottom stuff during or after the third week of bloom? Thanks in advance.

Amazing what you can find, if you look. Try Google. There are many threads here, on lollipoping also, with discussions about stress and flowering. pr

Guess its down to each individual. Personally i pluck prune and pull all new growth off the bottom quarter of all my plants.
Leaves, small buds and any other growth gets plucked. Thats how i do it and it works for me.
I defoliate all low down leaves and buds. Promoting all new growth to the top of the plant.
Learned through trial and error over the years. But to be honest, we all do things quite differently.
So if you have more than one plant, try experimenting with different techniques and educate yourself. ATB
