Hello everyone
From my reading I can see different opinions on pruning.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know Esteban isn't a fan and likes to tie down his fan leaves a bit out of the way, but not cut them off completely as this is where nitrogen and plants energy is stored.

But then I see Dutch Pimps most ridiculous yields of these insane looking plants he has quite unapologetically lollipoped.

Dutch, Esteban how about a little argument here that we can get some pearls of wisdom from?
perhaps even some pruning dos and don'ts?


Also, for guys who drop in, please some advice for me specifically?
I am attaching a picture of my nicest bushy plant, which I feel needs pruning because the canopy is too thick and I won't get proper yield from the bottom colas.
q) how much pruning is too much? Every 3 days to give the plant time to recover?
q) can I prune off the half dead leaves, or should I wait for them to dry out more and just about die off themselves before pruning (built2spill recommends letting them do their thing)
q) can I prune off the quite well developed colas that are at the bottom of the plant?
q) can i prune off just the fan leaves, if the colas have properly developed leaves of their own?
q) how long before flower do i stop pruning? a week before to give it time to recover? do i prune in flower? do i see what it looks like in flower and decide which I want to keep and which not?

lots of questions, but very much appreciate your inputs.
