I would let her grow instead of trimming just my opinion!! Hopefully more experienced growers can chime in. Happy growing

I would LST her, spread her apart gently. Like this-

Look at your plant; does it need some shaping? Opening up for node sites? It’s your plant so you can do anything you want to with it. Just look at it from the standpoint of where you want it to be and just train and LST and supercrop until you get there.

I grow NL all the time and just let them veg like crazy. I’ll trim out the under growth after the stretch once I know where the big colas will be. They don’t really mildew so you don’t have to worry about the density right away. Hope this helps. LST will really help them too.
