God of Plants
Well I just trimmed up the t.d. normally I wouldn't do this. However, I am heavily going this way direction in pots and only late in flower....like supermodel diet time.
That said,
Egg, I would trim out anything that is blocking buds. Tuck or maneuver as many big fan leaves as you can, out of the way. Keep if you can. Clip if not. Feed after. That's what I have done. Never did this before. So whatever that's worth.
With my plants right now I've been tucking and bending big fan leaves out of the way of the buds. Since I have 3 plants side by side it's pretty easy to use the branches of other plants as a way to hold them where you want them. It's working out for me so far, no need to trim yet, although I could, but I don't think it would gain a lot of ground currently because I've done so good at tucking and bending them out of the way.
