My first DWC Scrog grow @ day 22

Altho even, the canopy is dense: should i remove large fan leaves for better overall light coverage?

This is my first attempt at DWC after watching several videos, reading hundreds of pages of forum threads, I decided to give it a go and maybe leave soil behind. Then the shit hit the fan or should I say slime and after 6 weeks of fighting it, I was given advice and help on here to get it under control. Ever since my plant has been thriving. She is Belladonna from Paradise Seeds (clone) put into DWC on boxing day. 4 MONTHS later, many much problems and adjusting and Im now @ day 22 of 12/12 and she's really beginning to take shape. I first saw the idea on youtube and its known as hygro hybrid theory there at least but it is what inspired me to try DWC. So a big THANK YOU to all who helped me get to where I am today, and there have been a few of you.

fed with ionic grow and bloom, ionic pk boost, voodoo juice, cal mag, orca and potsil
I've kept the ppm to 600-700 during veg and up to 900 at latest feeding (day 21 of 12/12)
I've been using tap water that's left overnight to dechlorinate.
ph was between 5.0 and 6.5 during veg and is 5.5 and 6.5 so far in bloom, the clone was in a rockwool cube
 
Tried that 1 part once..veg only..didn't like it for some reason...now that I remember, its what I was using back when I had a showdown with the slime..coincidence ?..probably..
 
i might remove a few if they overlap a lot looks quite packed in there
i have found if they are more of a sativa expression with thin leaves you can pretty much remove leaves without consequence
these plants tend to grow in a more open shape anyway and grow less leaves so often do not need many to be removed anyway
but if they are more towards indica with fatter leaves, removing leaves often distorts the colas
they can growback leafy and distorted it would be better to avoid removing leaves from these types or be cautious
or find some other way to get light in the center of the canopy tucking them under the branches helps a little

peace
 
thanks guys, I had the slime issue when I was using advanced nutrients full line up and again when I tried flora nova. I then switched to ionic HYDRO nutes and only voodoo juice from advanced as it is non organic Bacilius Bacteria and water only and have had no problems since..... touch wood. I am a little concerned that I the Orca stops this week, end of week 4 and im worried the slime may return without the bennies. I have removed a few here and there everyday and tucked others when I can, but by next day, there they are again, or it could be new ones that've taken their place. Belladonna is advertised as mostly Sativa but @ 3-4 internodes an inch and fatish leaves, short stout structure, I fail to see where haha. I was recommended the strain by a friend and she has been my staple ever since. I also have 2 White Lemon (Strainhunters/Greenhouse Seeds), 2 White Widow (Seedsman Seeds) and 1 White Rhino (Greenhouse Seeds) @ 5 weeks old from seed but they are in soil and for another thread.......
