I try to tuck fan leaves underneath shadowed flower sites, sometimes there's no getting around it, and especially if there's a high potential for mold, or overlapping fan leaves. If there's no way to physically move them then you might thin some but for me I'm not in the defoliate camp. From your photos, nothing struck me as needing any urgency to get in there and thin it out.

I'll leave it alone. Will the colas get much bigger ya think? Seems like the last week they haven't packed on much.

Structure wise, you might be there, but they will fill in and get dense, calyx will swell and stack on each other. The angle is not great for finding a reference but it looks like you have some nice chunkers. Still plenty of fresh pistils so more time for sure, don't skimp here, if in doubt wait it out everytime.
You did a great job cleaning up the underneath, a lot struggle with this and you killed it, canopy looks filled and healthy af.

The guy that gave me the cut saw her after she had been out on my deck for about a month and he is the one that went to town on her. You couldn't even see the dirt when I brought her in. She is definitely different than the other 2. I'm thinking she is a Indica dominant??? One of the other 2 was a free seed from Herbies call delicious candy??? I'm thinking its a Sativa since its a lot taller and the other is a bag seed that Is just about as tall. Still have a lot to learn but I'm having a blast with it. Thank you so much for all your help! Just for giggles the attached pic is my first attempt 30 years ago with a window grow. Lol.. I'd say it was a boy.

What a nice problem to have.. next time try tomato cages as they will help support leaning branches and have something to tie them down to.

I'm using smart pots with coco next. Would that be enough to support the cages ya think? I just built a flood table, I'll attach pics, for my room which is 4' x 8'. I made the table narrow so I can walk across the front of it. I'm thinking of building or mounting some kind of metal wire across the back of it to the ceiling to have something to tie supports to. What do you think? I manifolded my next run also so maybe they won't be so lanky. I like the idea of the cages though so i can rotate the plants since i have no access to the back of the table. Thanks for your advice!

The cages were just a suggestion I use them in my 5 gallon pots with no issue. But anything that will hold them up is good. Just try to make sure you are still getting light penetration and your not tying them to close to each other.
