Light pruning of internal areas of the plant, lots of air movement/ exchange.
Try to keep temp differentials between lights on and off to minimum, prevents rh spikes which can cause things like pm and bud rot later in flower.
Try to keep rh around 45% if you care about such.
Don't chop early...shoot for 65 days minimum if indica or hybrid...longer if sativa or auto flower.
Looks great.
Good luck.

Is that a current or past grow?
I've over vegged slightly and I'm a bit concerned about it being to busy/thick.
There's 2/3 tops in some squares shoulder to shoulder, I'm concerned about rot later in the grow?

Air movement...lots of it...top and below canopy with plenty of exchange.
Looking fakn great.

I think people get into trouble when it's thick like that if they don't have enough circulation under the canopy. It creates it's own high rh microclimate down there. I like to keep at least one oscillating fan down at pot level. Defoliation helps A LOT too-the more leaves the higher the RH. Consider using PM preventive measures like biofungicides, regalia, and Chitosan.

I do nothing but scrog in small areas.i can grow 4 plants in a 4×4 area with no room issues.i defoliate through veg vet slowly and 2 weeks of flower I defoliate a little more but gradually a few leaves for lights to hit bud sights till harvest.it has to be done properly..goodluck

I too have never filled my 4x4 as full as it is today lol
Lots, and lots of air movement.
I got 3 small fans under the canopy, one large fan blowing on the top, and another small fan at the top.
Hopefully next run will be alittle more even since I will be using clones.

I'm going back a few years now but I thought i had all my ventilation sorted, then one cold morning I noticed moisture on the lower half of the tent below the screen.
The attic was freezing cold and with heat not getting down under the canopy moisture was condensing.
I've now accepted a dehumidifier is a must have for uk gardners outside of the summer.

Definitely.it will take out moisture.i grow in a spare bedroom so thank god its good humidity.

Without my dehum in the tent I can't get the heat up before the humidity gets to high, by the time it heats to switch the thermo the humidity is already well above acceptable.
During lights out I've got the fan switching on for a few minutes every 15/20 minutes to exchange air, while it's running the humidity goes up a few points not down lol, it's humid af in the UK due to Gulf stream hitting out coast, our yearly average is 80%+

Thank you. I feel using clones helped alot, though I trained them differently. Don't know if it's a good thing to have it so close. I don't have time or energy to defoliate enough so I take a little each day.Good problem to have lol. Good job training. Nice & even
Current. Bigger area covered this time.
I do too worry about those things and as mentioned I try thin it out a little each day to avoid rot or mildew.
And I agree that thick bushes are doable with good air movement and not too high RH.
The dehumidifier in the picture is pushing air up into the big oscillating fan.

I run my dehumidifier 24hr from week 6 the last time and never had a spot of rot in almost 2lb.
I hope all goes well for you md/bt would be a real shame after that work and your efforts to beat humidity.
Your too modest lol "i feel using clones helped alot" nah I don't think clones played much part in shaping that canopy, nice work, really nice, very little to do with clones... pure skillzz man!

Just to echo the others, you'll be fine. Just avoid the actual buds touching each other or the tent sides if you can. Condensation can build up on them when that happens.
