So Iv tried lst well basically my plant was getting too tall for my homemade £100 cardboard box set up I made so I tied the main stem down but have noticed ever since it is nowhere near as thick as the base? Also should I be removing leaves to get more light in and if so which?

Defoil away but in stages, a few leaves a day , watch how she acts, then repeat, start at the bottom Don't worry about thickness, she'll just keep stretching now so if you can keep tying her down without moving the light, the higher the light the more she will stretch to reach it Otherwise she's looking pretty healthy :) Happy growing Bro D

You could defoliate but it looks like it is spindly because it needs more sweet sweet photons. The fanleafs are fair game once they grow the petiole (leaf stick) the function of the leaf is as a solar panel and battery. If you are caring for nutrition regularily the battery can be reduced in capacity. I remove fan leafs that block bud sites when the plant is dense enough to require it beginning with fan leafs that point into the center of the plant followed by leafs that cross other stem/flowers.
