Keep them till they die... wtf u want me to cut off ur nicest arm? I'd say those leaves are taking in 30% of what ur plant takes in so if you want a smaller crop go ahead buddy:rastasmoke:

i was thinking, they might be telling me there is to much N. the size of the Leafs maybe saying it is to humid ? but the relative humidity is 60. i am using the aurora brand organic soil. i have added nothing but water, and not much of that . i don't want to over water. oh and by the way what is the best technique to water my babies?

I vote for the gravity method.

Fill a pot with dry soil, then heft it.
Make a mental note, (or weigh it and record the weight.)
Then water it 'til run-off and heft it again.

Now you know the limits.
With V. large pots, I jus' give a li'l kick.
If they move, I water 'em.:rastasmoke:

And please leave those healthy, green, photosynthesis factories/nitrogen storage bins, alone.
If, you want big healthy gals when you go into flower, that is.

Aloha and good luck,
