Aerogarden round two - Three weeks in

After abandoning my first attempt due to nutrient burn and stunted growth I started over.

I'm now 3 weeks and 2 days from seed and on my second day of 12/12. I did two plants, one plant is almost a foot tall and the other is a few inches shorter. Both plants are on their 9th node. No indication of sex that I can tell yet.

I'm using an Aerogarden Deluxe, Aerogarden nutrients, air stone, air pump, and two small fans. I've been filtering tap water through a Pur water filter. I used Aerogarden grow sponges by removing the original seeds and poking a hole from top to bottom.

When the roots hit the water after the first few days I completely removed the Aerogarden pump so there's more room and put the air stone in the middle. I've been adding 1 small nutrient tablet a week after changing out the water. Two days ago I started using 1 large tablet a week. Temperature has been between 70-80 the entire time and I've been checking the pH every day. I'm getting a few 2700k CFLs or maybe an LED panel for flowering here soon as well as some Fox Farm nutrients.

I'm surprised at how much they've grown in such little time and how great they smell. There's branching between every node and their getting bushy.

I'm almost wanting to cut off the bottom two nodes of fan leaves since their not getting good light. I'm also thinking about tying them down sideways some, then pruning off what's pointing down.

Suggestions and criticism is great if you have any. Especially regarding pruning and possibly their strain.
