They look fine man your doin a good job....may be a little too hot or underwatered? but they look good dont stress its easier than everyone makes it out to be

I would throw them in a little bit bigger pots just to be safe so you dont get rootbound and stunt thier growth...use like a 2-3gal pot per plant

 

[michael askew]

theyre in 25 litre i think thats a bit bigger than 5 gallon thats not too big is it

 

[BOOGS]

im not good with metric and all those conversions....and you can never have a pot thats too big, 5 gal is good if thats what they are they just look small to me....maybe its just the plants are huge lol Gluck with your grow ya can PM me if you have any other questions

5gal pots should be ok most only use 3 gal

what size tent is that ?

I only remove leaves or branches for couple reasons.

1. They are burnt, dead or dying.
2. They are small runts near the bottom of the plant that will never produce anything.

Other then that I let them be, the plants needs em for a reason or it wouldn't grow it.

Most people grow in pots that are undersized. 5-gallon pots are the smallest I will grow in indoors and I normally use 7-gallon pots.

Yep ... 25 liter is 5.6 gallons (U.S., dry) That is not too large, it is just adequate.

That's more than enough. I use 11L ones and had no problem.
By the way, my plants have their lower leaves like that these days. I think it is temperature related as they were too low (it's really cold where they are) so I had to put a thermo-vent inside the grow tent that turns on 15min/h so now the temps oscillates between 26 and 30ºC during the day (never measured at night). Just don't know if it is the oscillation itself or hi temps near the floor (where the thermo-vent is). They are huge, that's a fact, and they keep green and attached to the plant so they ain't that bad. Anyway, if anyone experienced this or has any clue, share it please!
Cheers!
