Can i trim leaves away in the 6th week of flowering to allow more light to the bottoms buds to fatten them up? my top buds are looking nice and chunky but buds at the bottom look a bit weak, this is my first grow, i did not scrog or anything like that.
Heres a video of them in the 4th week of flowering (Am now in 6th week)

I cut at least the bottom third of popcorn etc. and like fdd2blk mentions the top buds fill in. I have done side x sides with many strains to prove this tech to myself with always proven results. also bending and lst helps

I would get rid of all the popcorn buds and focus on the colas like fdd mentioned. The popcorn(lower small buds) wont get much bigger. Are you using any kind of bud BOOST formula? and some strains really fill out in the last week or 2 of flowering. your buds will at least double in thickness ide say
