You don't think it will slow down Bud growth cuz I'm on my last week's of flowering?

6 weeks in, I'm assuming you'll need at least 9 total, it won't slow shit down Imo. If needed, I would do it.

I try to do all my cutting before buds are big. It's hard to cut off a good looking bud vs a wispy cluster of pistols

I mean, I thought I trimmed the heck out of mine at 2 weeks of 12/12 and now I can't tell I did anything..... I'd say go for it if you need to for airflow/low light reasons. Rather sacrifice a few lower buds that may cause mold etc than risk the crop.

Very slow, yes sir. Is it safe to say you are 45 days days into a most likely 63 day strain?

Cherry pie strain and banana split strain I have and takes 9 weeks and my other blueberry Kush takes 10 weeks of flowering. What do u think? Should I pruned the bottom that's not getting light? I'm on 6 weeks and 2 days of flowering

I would say no way. Should be done around day 21 or earlier. However there are a lot better gardeners than me on this site see what they say. This is just what i would do.

thats pretty late in the game. i'd leave it, for two reasons. the first one is that the main reason to lollipop is so the plant doesn't waste a lot of effort on it, that could be going into the larger buds closer to the top of the plant (and it helps with ventilation a lot). that far into flower, they've already wasted just about as much effort as they're going to. too late. the second reason is that is a pretty fair amount of stress, which could have some negative impact on your plant, like decreased resin production, and possibly hermy-ing, which wouldn't have time to have a real effect that close to the end, but it would just be more wasted effort
