Hi guys this is my first time grow and I think it is going pretty good. They all look healthy and are about 3 weeks old from seed. I just have a question on my Northern Light plant, I'm not sure if I should be pruning some of the leaves that are blocking the light from getting all the way through. She just looks really bushy/leafy compared to my other 4 plants. They are blue dream X cookie wreck. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Top em and LST em, create an even canopy.
So they are at a good size to top them?
Absolutely not.
You've got enough nodes to top it, if that's what you want, but don't take off any leaves as it will only hurt your plant, not help it. Once you get further along, you can pull the leaves off the bottom of the plant if they're laying in the dirt, or get in the way of watering, but don't fuck with them now.
Once they get large enough to start thinking about flowering, which is up to you BTW, then you can start thinking about the final shape you want for your plant, and you can start pruning off the branches that don't support your vision for your plant. Once you do this, give them a few days to recover, then put them into flower and monitor the progress as they grow and continue to prune off the branches and shit you don't want from your plant.
Thanks for the great info. Appreciate it bro
