Many say to switch to bloom nutes as soon as the stretch stops. Your ladies are looking much better now. I'm of the opinion that plants should only be fed when need be, and not otherwise, since overfertilizing is a massive problem for home cannabis growers.
Tall height and internodal length can have a number of causes: in your case it's likely to be a genetic thing since it looks like they're getting loads of direct sunlight up there!
Internodal length is the length of stem between each set of leaves, vertically, as you go up a stem. They appear to have filled out now though!
I'd repot soon or those pots are going to require really frequent watering...and the wet/dry swings may cause pH issues since the salt concentration will swing.
As for removing leaves: plants let them go when they're ready. I tend to leave em on until they're yellowing and a gentle tug makes them come right off.
Since you're growing outdoors, your nute requirements are significantly higher (nothing beats the sun). You'll need to feed more often than I will in those little pots. IMO--pot up, your plants will be much happier for it!
Nice one!
