What?
Leaf trimming is the reducing of older simply leaves from a shrub. Appearance trimming can eliminate all simply leaves or it can be done on chosen components of the shrub for particular requirements.

How?
Use leaf pruners or shears. Cut at the platform of the edge of the leaf. There are at least three types of leaf pruning:

whole shrub trimming, where every leaf of the shrub is removed;

partial leaf trimming, where just one division or any variety of offices have the simply leaves trimmed, shorter of the whole tree;

and individual leaf trimming, where huge simply leaves or simply leaves with extensive petioles are trimmed independently after they have aged.

When?
Leaf trimming is done when the first set of simply leaves have aged. In Co this usually indicates mid or overdue May. Usually there is only time for a second set of simply leaves to develop in our shorter increasing period. My tridents come out in March so I can sometimes leaf trim at the end of May and have new vegetation by present time--mid-June.

Why?
Leaf trimming is used to management the route and excellent of development of the shrub and its offices. Appearance is the meals producers of plants. Eliminating simply leaves needs the shrub to use saved meals to generate a new set of simply leaves. Appearance pruning:

reduces leaf size;

increases slip shade if plants are placed in complete sun for progression of the second set of leaves;

reduces internodal length;

increases adventitious nodal bud progression and, therefore, offices and division ramification;

reduces the dimension the development in the leaf cut place when partially leaf trimming is done.

Leaves serve as food factories for the plants they are attached to. The only times I will prune any leaves are when the leaves are past their prime or when they are blocking light from reaching a bud site and can't be easily moved out of the way. The bud will continue growing and consuming it's stored food sources right up until it gets chopped. Flushing eliminates the stored nutrients by forcing the plant to draw from its reserves, so the more leaves the more efficient the plant will be in combining nutrients/sunlight/gases to produce food and grow while depleting those stored up nutrients.

Tuck, tuck, tuck. The leaves are your buds nutrient reserves. Also, pruning is traumatic to your plant and would need time and energy to focus on "repairing" the "wounds" of said trauma. A lot of experienced growers like to flush a couple weeks before harvesting which leaves all the leaves yellow, but the buds fresh and green looking.

Also, you could harvest your biggest buds that have received the most light throughout flowering first, and if the lower buds' trichomes aren't past the window of harvest opportunity (e.g. milky to amber trichomes), you could leave them a week or two more to fatten up and develop more. Some people have experienced success with this method.

I agree with the above posts for sure! If you are growing from seedbank seed, they do tend to be conservative on the flower-time. 6 to 8 weeks sounds better than 9 to 11 weeks if you are selling the seeds online. A lot of kush strains do better if given an extra week or two over what the breeder recommends.
