I wouldn’t remove anything from her. Maybe just the lowest node. She’s tiny and needs a stronger light.

Hi Growers!👋
I'm in sore need of your help and advice.
As you can see, I've a very specific handmade growbox(dimensions on the first week). The light right now is about 30cm above the plants, and I don't know what to do in the very near future: LST/HST/Topping or ScrOG
Thanks!🙌Week 3

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.Week 7

Is it time for light defoliation?These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?Techniques. Defoliation

Defoliation after a week of floweringAny advice on when and if is necessary to defoliate the babe a bit?
I've took down couple of small branches, and some leaves that were turning yellow for some reason T.T.
Temperature's are rising a bit and plant feels a bit stressed. Anyway, can't do much.
