first time grow

Im a first time grower, i would like to know what do you do as the plant grows the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves? I noticed some leaves next to the stalk -innernodes? Should i pinchthe leaves or let them grow?

lol that would be the start of your branches i let mine grow more leafs more growth

dont do anything but water it properly and maybe start nutes if your in a soiless medium like pro mix. if your in a potting soil no need to feed it for a while. dont go pinching anything off if you dont know what your doing, leaving the plant alone to do its natural thing is best until you become more experienced in trimming techniques.

let them grow !!!!!!!

what kinda lights are u using and how man watts? ususally was increase the wattage after the 2nd set of leaves start. unless ur alrdy at ur max wattage. at week 3-4 they really need as much light and even more light when flowering

What's the general rule of thumb? At least ~2000 lumens per sq foot to veg and ~5000 to flower?
