Prune y n

Good question friend. Your plants look good just the way they are. I don't prune until the lights are way higher to help with water transpiration. I use a turkey baster to water and save my leaves. Leaves have thousands of stomata that transpire water and gases. Some people do but I don't until the bottom leaves start to look funky or the lights are way too high.

Just like that these are 6/7 gal pots how much water should eavc get ???
Yesterday the left one was super dry even after 2 days…… ec very low ( may be due to the dryness ) both ph 6.2 6.3 ( L / r )
Had some wilting on the left one , today looks better gona take some measurements and maybe water again just the left one

When the pot gets real dry you may have to bottom water a time or two.

Water the saucer ?
Yes. Only when it is extra dry and won't take water normally.

Dude I don’t watered this thing yesterday and it’s bone dry n light light the other one is nice n heavy I stumped Gona add some water via the bottom as I though yesterday would have been enough
Sometimes when the soil gets too dry it will shrink and leave a big crack around the edge. Then when watering the water pours through the edges and out the bottom before it root ball can get wet. That is the only time I water from the bottom to soak the soil enough to close the crack back up.
However, if the soil is drying too fast it may be time to up-pot into a larger container using the same soil thats fresh.

You don't prune for easier watering, wtf!?
Leave them be, they look really healthy.
They look Indica-ish, so expect them to be bushy. You could train them(maybe SCROG or LST) and then prune a bit, to get rid of the branches that wouldn't get enough light.

Ok guys it took 5 liters but I’ve rfinsly seen water come through !!! Today
The bigger one is my runt !
Think I should be feeding aggressive stage from GH flora for veg right now I plan on keeping them for a bit
The big one is the thirsty one my runt lower ec obviously
No pest just checked them, definitely could clean the big one at the bottom couple weak leaves from early mal handling

I'm growing right now a strain that is just like yours; tight space between nodes with a lot of side-branching, short, bushy, minimal stretch in flowering.
When I learned about these properties I figured it would be best to do some training, to get those branches into an even canopy. It worked pretty well, thou I could have done a better job with SCROG I've used.
If I were you, and you're saying you "plan on keeping them for a bit" I'd train them. You can do a lot with some training. Seems they would be still fine for SCROG or LST. You'd just have to be careful not to snap the top when bending it.

Plan on mothering them for now don’t know if I will run my 2 tent set up or sell one….. ideally mother one and flower one and clone and get a nice diesel going.
Got the rayonled 400, the description says literally everything how they are growing, they are still wet today I am very happy.
