You should have been pruning the bottom growth all along. I start the pruning when the plants are still in the 18 oz. cups. There's not much sense in the plant putting energy into growth I don't want. I'd get on the pruning real quick if I were you.

If necessary, move the leaves aside to let the tops grow through the screen, but just move them, don't cut them off.

If you want to take cuttings for clones, use the trimmings from your pruning. The further your plants get into flower, the less you want to cut them.
