I topped my plant for 4 tops and this is my first time growin, I managed to get the 4 tops but in the LST phase I accidently broke 1 of the 4 tops so I removed it the plant now has 3 main tops, but now it has a few small tops developing in the middle of the main top branch, should I leave these small tops or remove them? I'm only planning on vegging for another month or so it's under a 250w mh about 7 inches away. Should have pics up soon

you shouldnt have to defoliate a plant that small...its just gonna cause stress ..not to mention the leafs are what generates the food for the plant..leave the leafs intact for high performance lol

Well i dont plan on defoliating again i did it so i could LST better because it was thick, lol

i just watered yesterday i typically water every 3-4 days when most of the soil is dry

this is some middi bag seed so it most likely wont look the best i also stressed them early since i had them in MG soil for the first 3 weeks and have since fixxed that issue

Also i have some fan leaves that only have 2 leafs instead of 3 should i remove any of these wierd fan leaves to promote better growth?

That's not a disease that will spread, there is no benifit to it.
