Do you guys keep these little leaves coming out of each node site? Will buds come from these?

Buds will form there, mostly larf. Larf will still get you stoned. I try to remove the stuff in the middle to hinder bugs with extra vision and air flow. The plant puts more effort on the flowers that are left. Your mileage may vary.
'Bout a pound.

Those are new growth tips, they will eventually branch out if you leave them alone. But your plant is really focusing most of its energy into the tops that are vying for apical dominance.

It's up to you if you want to strip or not but as stated previously they are pretty low down won't grow much and likely be pretty larfy as the tops will be taking most of the sun and energy. If you strip them your plant will use that energy instead in the remaining plant. The more you strip the larf the more the focus will be on the bud sights that are in a better spot anyways.

A lot of people leave em be outdoor as the sun is damn strong and penetrates much better than indoor, depending on plant structure some can trive outdoor without any pruning.

I like to prune and clear out at least probably the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the plant, and just rock nice tops.

Cute little black widow you have chilling out in one of the tubes. How often do you have to change out the water when you do it that way? Can you add anything to the water to make it more likely to root: KLN, seaweed, etc?

Not sure what kind of spider it was. She made an egg sac in that tube. It has been a couple.weeks since I swapped the water. I used ro water and then put in like 2 drops of my nute water from the reservoir.

Oh. Her shape suggested black widow. They're fucking everywhere around here, so I guess I see them when they're not even there. I thought propagating in water required aeration or at least frequent water changes. Thanks.

I haven't done anything with these. I just threw em in to take up space. That said, they definitely rooted.

Yea I know I just don't have the cloning kit humidity dome thing...I do have Clone X tho..heard I could just rub it in clone x and put it in soil?
I cut with unsterile scissors, scrape with the livestock knife I keep in my pocket and dip the stems into Xtreme Gardening Mykos. Even that step is not really necessary. Straight into Sunshine 4 Professional. No dome. Low light level. Don’t let the medium dry out or stay sopping wet.
