Foliage looks nice and clean.. Totally up to you if you wanna cut leaves or not. The impulse to Affect and change the grow is pretty powerful in us so of course we wanna change things to make it improve.... Allow your plant to grow.

Is of sometimes normaal that the 2 leaves you have on your baby plant are standing upwards? Like a closed flower, if you know what I mean? 2 are normal but 1 is doing that...

Remove more leaves or not
Should I defoliate more and remove small buds, or is it better not to stress the plant during flowering? Also, why do the two plants on the right look so different? I didn’t do anything differently

To Pune or install Support Netting
At day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?

Possible Over Watering. Can I get an experts look?
My plants leaves are looking droopy and condensed. I am worried that I may be watering them too much. I water them with a gallon of water every 3 days with 3 teaspoons of "Grow Big" added and mixed into the water pot. Do they look normal for a 4 week old plant?

When can I start with lolipoping? I am asking because the strains have hell a lot of leaves, the branches are already touching the wall of the growbox. I don't know if it's good if the branches are touching the wall, or do they need some distance to the wall?!

Got 2 plants that have grown up under identical conditions except pot size. Both were germinated - everything - on the same schedule. Started indoors under 18 hours of light; then moved outdoors. One is flowering - one is not. Will this plant keep flowering or revert to veg?
