I used to grow big trees 1 plant per light and trellis them hard, now I run 2 per light in 10 gal fabric pots for a shorter veg time. If your gonna do this it takes alot of super croping and defoliating because it becomes too much
They way you grow your plants does not require pruning of leaves because you do not train your plant very much.
When you grow more of a bush you need to prune.
you could defoliate a couple leafs that are covering some buds. You can actually just cut off the green part and leave the stem so it dosent hstress the plant that much.
