Pruning

Depends what kind of pruning. If you just mean after cutting some damaged leaves off, you can flower two days later or sooner with only light pruning. If you topped them to encourage a few shoots to jump up, wait until the new shoots form their first nodes.

Basicly, you can flower a couple days after pruning. If the pruning was done to encourage growth at other areas of the plant, then you want to give those areas a little time afterward to do what you're trying to get them to do. I'm sure you know better than I which of those two categories your pruning fits into as I haven't heard of that style before. From the amount you'll be trimming, I think waiting at least three days would be a good idea. As long as the plant has noticeably begun to grow out the parts that weren't pruned, it's ready for flowering.

thank you sir yeah i prune all the bottom branches of the plant and the stuff that was not going to get any light so the plants energy in directed upwards to the top of the plant so that why i will get big coals so i think i will wait two weeks till flower

i let the bottom branches go until like 2-3 weeks into the stretch phase of flower, that way they stretch out some and make extremely good clones, i also lst for lots of multiple top colas and sort of lollipop the bottom 4-6 branches on each cola and make them into clones. Last time i got 60 useable clones off of my main plant w/o touching any of the good branches. cloning and re-vegging create really bushy plants btw, so that helps too, but anyway, i kinda got off topic, but thats how i do it.

I like to also clone off of lower part of plant after they stretch...I do leave some of the little popcorn buds on though from time to time. The reason I do this is when I want to cook with some but don't want to use the nice buds up top that I only smoke with. The lower stuff makes iffy smoke but great to cook with!
