Pruning Outdoor Plants
I'm curious how much you guys prune your outdoor plants - I'm a bit more familiar with indoor growing.
These ones are manifolded, and spread out as much as possible. I left 2-4 branches in the center as well, to fully fill the space. I trimmed off lots of leaves and branches when they were young, but for the last 5-6 weeks I've mostly just let them be.
Do you think that I should ditch some of the lower/inner fan leaves, or leave them? It seems like there is adequate airflow, but I'm wondering if those leaves are beneficial (solar panels + nutrient reserves), or wasteful (growing a part of the plant I won't ultimately keep).
2 of these plants are in 50 gallon fabric pots, and the smaller one is in a ~10 gallon pot.
Forgot to post the pictures initially - they're in the comments below.
Thanks in advance!
