Dude, those are looking so nice and healthy! I do have a few questions about removing the lower bud sites!

At what point do you decide to remove these, and do you wait for the trichomes to mature? Or do you just kinda go with it? I have quite a few lower node sites that I can pull to promote more growth to the rest of the plant, but is there a specific timeframe that you wait for this for the bud to be smokeable??

Nice update man, and I'm glad to see that all the plants are doing well! Just got my LST clips in so I'll definitely be trying my hand with those here very soon! :)
