They are all very healthy so far...

If you are not too opposed to it, I would probably
trim the girls up starting at the bottom. You just
started flowering, so taking a couple lower sets
from the girls will not effect the final yeild...It will
only help it.

Take those lower sets, and more energy will be
put into to top colas rather than maintaining the
lower buds...Which never fully develop, and are
useless for smoke...

I have realized peeps are hesitant to chop their
girls, but you won't regret it when the top's are
fat as hell...
