Veg time? When to make the flip

First photo, at about 6/7 weeks veg when should I flip ? Also I see others completely shave the bottom half, is that something I need to do on mine ?

I’d flip her in the next week unless you want a leggy lady!

Light flip is on you and how tall you want them at end of flower. They can grow 1 and a half to twice the size from the flip.
Lolypoping is when you strip all off the bottom.
Again depends on what you want. If you leave the lower branches/dud sites you will get more smaller buds at botton good for making hash or edibles. If you strip them you could get bigger top buds/colas at the top. Lolypoping is easier to trim/clean at harvest.
I do it both ways depending on my needs at the time.

Growers choice and decided by your grow space and height. The plant can double to Tripple in size during the flower transition and later growth :love_you_gesture:

That’s a beautiful healthy plant . I think Growdoc is right but it’s up to you ultimately . I denude them at the bottom one third as most plants only have small growth that doesn’t get much light . With the usual exceptions . Some strains react well to pruning and defoliation , others get stunted or grow smaller buds . 6-7 weeks is a fair time to veg , I personally don’t veg that long but it does depend on environment and strain . Hope it’s an epic smoke . Peace .
