nah i take no offense...with that being said, i know how to use my resources..clearly ive gotten this far. just looking for the input of others for a gen consensus. not cut off top leaves. clip edges. im assuming to allow light to get to lower leaves? never really knew the reasoning but i see it done often. and thnx man

yup..figured thats what you meant..me personally had been back and forth with threads with different opinions on plucking/cutting leaves off for light penetration on the lower branches..In my conclusion I think the logic factor from both sides make sense..I for one just went with the leave the leaf concept..I took more to the concept of the leaves providing food for the buds and being "solar panels" and all that..so it does make valuable sense..and so does defoliating with the penetration thing..but like I say man..different tokes for different folks..I cant deny another man's success method..I just do what works for me huh? lol ..better yet..nothing beats trial and error..so dedicate one to be defoliated =/ hehe

Just some observations from what I c.

Your plants look good for now-----but not for long with the crowding I C, you want to try and keep your canopy flat so all your plants are receiving around the same amount of light------don't know much about your operation and intensions (yield expectancy).

As far as cloning-----especially when starting from seed as you have done-----I like to wait for staggered, alternating branches to start.

yeah thats where my question about trimming the leaves top leaves came into play. this is just the cloner. started to veg them as i was waiting for my over tray to get in. they'll be in a 3x3 for veg and flower so i'll have plenty of room.
