Training options advice.

Hi.

First grow.

Looking for recommendations on defoliation or LST HST or whatever.

I already topped 1x and tried to bend lower branch up.

It looks like I need to defoliate though. Not sure how much to get rid of without too much stress

Any recommendations are welcome.
2x2x4 tent c so trying to keep small but maybe it's too bushy and i should move light up?

Hey buddy, they are some nice healthy looking plants. Too young to be defoliating tho, let ‘em be.
If it’s your first grow don’t go too crazy with training everything.. maybe try a few things on one plant, and compare how it goes to the one you leave to its own devices.. learn some pros and cons.

I haven't tried it but I will. Somebody on here was 12/12 lighting seedlings and kind of massing smaller plants like you have.
Seems like a good way to try. Your plant looks about perfect for that right now. Just 4 big colas.

Thanks! they look pretty good now....but this photo was after a flush 3 days prior bc of too much nitrogen. I added fox farm nutrients too soon with ocean forest.
Flush helped a lot obv.

The other plant is a bagseed and must be auto since it flowered after like 21 days or so.

You wrote too young to defoliate. When is ideal? I thought for sure it was OK at this size.. 4.5 week old in photo.

Oh and I was thinking 4 colas with all the space I have is a waste, no?
I think I really do want to try to do something to get my feet wet with that.. although the other viewpoint of letting first grow just be and focus ongetting t to harvest.

My thought is that humid spots might develop bc of leaves touching and overall bushyness. Plus there are a couple of leaves close to the soil bc I added more to compensate for loss during prev watering. I figured that's not ideal

Quick other question...I have a spare 4" vivisun duct fan and piping. My tent right now has 6" duct fan with aero 200se and 2 passive intakes- one rectangleand one 4" both at bottom of tent. 2 -6" circulation fans

Would it be beneficial to use the spare 4" fan on lower setting with intake (and maybe close the rectangle one?) or just leave passive fresh air with the 2 opening I have.

Also, is it better to have humidifier inside of tent? I have the a c infinity with the long hose. It's reaching up and into tent from 4" opening on the side but high up and then down to floor into pot. Not sure if it's better to try and fit it into tent and get rid of hose. If I can even fit it in.

Plants look healthy, so you’re in a good spot. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Tie down to your grommets to spread new growth and that’s about all you need to do for lst.

Agree with the others here that it’s not really necessary to defoliate at this juncture. Yes, leaf in soil is no bueno and you should trim those. Otherwise, just let ‘em be. Gettin’ to the finish line is what matters. You’re doing great.

Looking pretty good!Best wishes for your grow.

On the 4 cola thing. I just meant that instead of one monster plant. Some guys grow many small ones at once.
It’s your choice on that. I was just mentioning that your plant is looking about right at the moment for that method.

It's too young to defoliate imo however keep topping and tying down if you want cos you can always tidy it up some later on if you wanna

If ya want to spread them out without all the tying ya can try a floater screen.

Thanks for all the comments.
I'll just let her be I guess and maybe reevaluate in a couple of weeks.
I do like the multiple small plants idea and quick flowering. I'm sure if I succeed in this grow that will be a future endeavor.
