I removed all little lower leaves that looked funky with no I'll effects. You should be just fine with a minor, I say minor, defoliation!Ok dokey have very high humidity so got the extractor on.
This is the bottom leave temped to just remove it.

Going to do new tent this weekend so will be tieing them down.
Appreciate that bud, hopefully they do better once there not sharing a light and more space.They look a nice green. Maybe a little pale but overall they look great. Keep doing whatever you are doing
Color is perfect for that stage. Keep doing what you are doing. I tend to try and stay that light into early flower. At the same ratios if you plants begin to darken up in flower then you know the plant is using less but since your solution remain the same it will be time then to lighten up on the nitrogen. Getting really dark leaves early on in your grow will take away a lot of visual clues from the plant in what she is looking for nutrient wise.
Keep up the good work.
