First off i'd like to thank everyone that helped with my previous posts about taking care of my cuttings.. as they are now blooming beautiful....
Just now need a bit more help regarding thinning my babies out now..!!
When is the best time to do it ??? as i've read a couple of different views.... some say after four weeks vegging some say six...?? At the minute they are on 24 - 7 light cycle and are just starting their third week.....

Any help is much appreciated ....!!!

I've never heard there was an ideal time so I say the sooner the better if they're getting to thick.
A general rule of thumb for pruning ANY plant is never take off more than 1/3 of the total foliage.

when air flow is inhibited through the plant and a branch is heavily shaded by the one above it.

he's right. just get the leaves that are not really being hit by light. lower at the bottom. don't take too much off at once. your plant uses energy to heal which can take away the energy it uses to produce the buds. make sure that u have a good air flow through the bottom of the plant as well. helps to make the stem stronger and thicker. it will also help with any type of stem rot that may occur if there is too much moisture. good luck man
