pruning outdoor plant

i need help how to pruning my plant as it getting verry bush and node stack really close together and it not flowering..

node stacking is good...give it a couple more weeks. does it have pre-flowers yet?

Trim the little leafs at the center of the stalk that arn't getting any light and look small and flimsy.

no preflower just that all the top is blocking all the light coming to the branch. the plant had been toped and all the node that grown behind the top canopy is having fan leaf block other node behind it on the same branch...this happen to every branch i mean to the point it so bushy...ill take some more pic tomorrow

here some pic

here a different plant

fan and water leaves are basically solar panels that give the plant energy....your plants gonna need a lot of energy once it starts to flower...if anything trim from the inside out a little bit every day...

Personally I'd leave it like it is. When it starts budding the you'll have lots of bud sites on the top
