@BazingaGirl, Yo! Been following along and all looks good and healthy dude. Hope ur not stressing over it. These actually remind me of my big bud grow - check weeks one to five and you’ll see it’s pretty similar to what I’m about to suggest. First off - you’re in veg. With a photoperiod and are topping/fimming so I assume ur going about 8 weeks before flower??? If so the good News is that there isn’t much you can do wrong at this point. If you’re looking to spread em out flatter and bushier with more branching then I would start by removing a few of the biggest fan leaves and bending her over on a slight angle. When I say a few fan leaves I mean no more than necessary to get some additional light exposure to the lower growth nodes. And don’t worry about some leaves dragging in the dirt - it happens.
Now regarding the deformed leaves - this also happened with my big bud grow when it got excessively cramped - is what it is and you want to spread out the plant and expose the stem as much as possible with lst/tie downs if you can. I’ve seen ponytailing (what you’re doing) a few times but never really bothered with it myself because it inhibits growth of the top for the sake of the bottom. That said, I’m also wondering if the leaf deformity is on the plant that you fimm’d??? If it is then it’s likely that the deformity you’re seeing is the result of this. You tend to get some weird leaf growth after a fim - it’s one of the nuances of that technique. Otherwise, it’s just the branches fighting with each other to pick up the available light. Hope it helps and if you need any more clarification hit me back anytime👍👊😎
