New update:
Yesterday was an eventful day for the plants. I added the very first nutrients, 3ml calmag, to 1gal water phd at 5.9. They were also all moved to 5 gal smart pots. 2 of the plants were topped and bent over slightly ( im really nervous about lst and defoliation so i have done very little of that).
At this point i could really use any tips on what fan leaves, if any, i should remove and how?
thanks for reading everyone

Hey bud, I understand your hesitation about topping, LST ! I'm on my first grow too, DWC, plus a couple leftovers in soil. I'm a little further along, but I was definitely in your shoes WRT my baby girls! BUT, all I can say brother is put your faith in the GWE site, forum, and you will not be disappointed! Your plants are healthy looking, start slow with the trg, but don't be afraid, your plants are entering the stage that all they wannna do is grow, grow, grow, and repair any damage to itself. Keep it your mind, it's a plant, it naturally wants to grow, you just need to help her along with what she naturally wants to do!
welcome, keep posting, and great growing!

Looking great, and your top looks perfect (better than my first auto top).
With the defoliation I think you have to do a bit of experimentation for yourself and find your own style. I've seen great results from a variety of defoliation approaches and of course we've all seen Green's extreme mainlines that somehow seem to produce nothing but bud.

First time growing I have a 80x60x60 high tent with 3-300 watt Full Spectrum led light with the 5 watt chips. I added a heater to maintain 70° temp and a fan for circulation in an exhaust fan. Growing 14 plants looking for any advice or criticism. Reading about lights wondering if I should change out the LEDs for 600 W HP/MH With a vented hood

That is a pretty sweet set up. As far as if it is enough light, i have no idea. I am just now researching into "proper lighting." I have seen good things with one of those lights on a few plants though.

I actually have a 4th light to add to that room once I flip the light cycle I'll add it to the room

UPDATE:
Yesterday was feeding day. I continued to only use 3 ml calmag in phd 6.0 water because im still seeing some clawing and dark green leaves with very very minor nute burn.
I topped the 3rd plant and started lst.
I have noticed a spot on one of my plants im not sure if its light burn or something else (pictured below)
At this point everything seems to be ok. I have noticed lower future bud sites rising to the top. I still havent trimmed any leaves i have mostly just tucked them ro the side to expose light to hidden sites.

Hi Farmerfran:
They look good - don't be scared about cutting a few of those fan leaves off especially when the girls get older. Believe me i know it's not an easy thing to do, but eventually those buds will want all the light you can give them, and cutting those big fan leaves off, definitely helps.

What the caveman says, chop some fans 
I find myself doing 2-3 major defoliations across an auto grow, as well as almost daily snipping off a fan or two.

Thanks, i finally built up the strength to give them a haircut. It definitely helps, the very next day almost all of the lower stems lifted up.

Looking good. As long as it's an isolated incident I wouldn't worry about the spot. I've had nute solution drops create weird marks on leaves before.
