Yeah. You can take some off, but not too many. I prune mine, for whatever that's worth, and I have FAR fewer leaves. Also, search youtube for "supercropping". Try doing that and get your light closer or something. Your plant is very lanky.

Also.. what is a hydro light bulb? You talking High Pressure Sodium or just some random grow bulb?

you probably have another 6 - 7 weeks of flowering left.. the buds will fill out and become a lot more dense. the pistils on the flowers will turn a brownish/amber color. once you hit week 5 begin flushing your plants with 2 teasponns of molasses with 1 gallon of water every other day for the last 2 weeks. once you notice the pistils on the buds have turned completely redish/orange and the leaves on the plant become yellow it is time to harvest!

donno if u can see but at the bottom of mine were the first brunchs are theres like loads of tiny little leaves like the size or ur small finger nail can they be removed or do i have to leave them on as its my only plant and first time i dont want to stress her out to much
