The PK is thick and bushy and tends to mold even in dry conditions whereas the Pineapple has very thin leaves that let in all the light necessary. It depends on more than your feeling on the subject. It depends on the thickness of the particular strain and how much moisture in room humidity, dew, rain or whatever will be in the environment. Extra bushy plants like Gods Gift, PK, White Kush and such usually benefit from thinning the leaves. I will try to document some trimming this year.
Funny this thread came back up, just got done trimming fan leaves here...actually I'm harvesting a plant from the top on down in phases 4/a re-veg project. Hopefully this site stays around long enough to finish the discussion, as it appears the server was down for many days.
