I've started the seed in this beautiful container that I've got, soaked it for about 24h then paper towel for about a day before the soil.
Plant is 8 days in after popping out of soil. It is looking very healthy and growing as expected. 💪
It won’t hurt to remove what you know is going to turn out kinda weak and larfy at the bottom of the plant.
It will also help push resources to the buds at the top.
Hope that answers your question.
