I'd say don't do any pruning. If you need to move something out of the light path, use twine and hold it off to the side that way. LST that thing.
Hi, you say it's better to have 7 less brighter bulbs?
Can you tell me the Watts, lumens, and Kcolour please?
I would love to see a pic of how your lights surround your plant, that would help alot! I had 2 lights for the first 3 weeks, then 4 lights until now. I pruned the dead looking leaves and the ones that were going to end up that way only. I hope that's ok. For LST, the main stem looks like it is rigid, should I bend the smaller branches? Thanks!
