First Time Grow

Nice, keep on doing whatever you are doing, looking good. Maybe prune some of the lower branches off, and some of the fan leaves up top to get more light to the bud sites.

It's kind of controversial, some people love it, some people hate it. I'm not a big fan, never had good results. I just figure that since its your first grow, let it go naturally and see what it does/looks like without much interference. I don't trim the bottom branches either unless they will be hanging into damp undergrowth and most likely rotting. The sunlight has already traveled 93 million miles to get here, another 7 feet to the bottom of your plant is nothing. The lower branches also serve as insurance in a bad Autumn. If my big top buds all go moldy during a rainy harvest, there are always smaller bottom buds which won't rot as easily.
 
The plants only about 3.5 to 4 feet tall is that a decent height?? I think i need to switch up to a high phosphorus guano soon if the white hairs are starting to show already. not to sure how to go about it though should i still use the high nitrogen one and just add a little high phosphorus??

You could alternate the two types until they go into heavy flowering, then start dropping off the N levels as they finish. They'll still use quite a bit of nitrogen as they make the transition.

3.5 to 4 feet will get you a fat sack of buds at harvest time. Has it stopped growing now? Mine are still stretching and growing noticeably.
 
Don't clip any buds, sometimes it can help if you sacrifice some lower branches to give more energy to your top buds. And What I said was take away some of the fan leaves on the top to get more light to the bottom. Do whatever you want the plant looks awesome.
