Hi. Technically, my first grow was a bagseed try. 2 Gorgeous males!

This is my first 'real' try. Bought seed. I have a NL X Shiva and White Widow. In hydro (bubblers). Now 4 weeks into flower. 400w HPS. Nutes are GH but I don't follow one set formula, but loosely based on Lucas's or 123. (I need to nail this down)
I don't have a PPM or pH meter. I use the pH drop kit.
pH is at higher 5's (near as I can tell), but I suspect I've had fluctuations.

I want to do this right & am getting nervous as they are in a critical phase.

1. I've pruned some large leaves to allow more light. I do a few at a time once in a while. Should I have done more? Do they look too leafy?
2. Should I be doing anything different here?
3. Also, I've a problem with the NL X Shiva. Pics to follow.
4. I'm 4-4.5 weeks into flower and not sure if they are where they should be. I think I should be flushing in about 2 weeks (first the NL/Shiva)?

The WW's bucket is raised about 6" to have it's canopy even to it's neighbor.
I appreciate your comments/suggestions about my first grow. (sorry for the improper lighting for the pics).
