Organic pineapple express auto

Everything is going well so far, I'm just wondering if she is as big as she should be. Wondering how much smaller (if any) she is and will be compared to a non organic grow. But as long as I end up with some pure and delicious buds in the end I'll be a happy gal. 1/17/18 noticed first set of bottom leaves are dying. Watered and added a small amount NPK organic nutrients to see if this helps or makes things worse. 1/27/18 still looking healthy but getting very bushy and the soil shrunk down so much I am hoping I won't have issues with airflow and light getting through. Trying to LST the best I can. Accidentally broke branch on my northern lights I have next to it. Tried to tape it bit it was too broke 1/30/18 watered with compost tea, himalayan salt and a little lemon to get the pH down to 6.5. Also plucked a few fan leaves off. Just like 3 or 4. I wasn't going to but there was such a solid canopy and with the soil shrinking so much I needed the light penatration and more airflow.
