New Grower...LED...10 Weeks Veg + Pruning

Hey guys, this is my 3rd total grow but second time with this strain. This is TGA Chernobyl in 5 gal air pot with mostly promix bx, ewc, oyster shell, azomite, and great white. I feed with most of the H&G line + some aqua shield, and ful power.

This has been vegging for close to 11 weeks under my 1 Magnum 357 LED. I somewhat am regretting the LED purchase simply because the fact it cant penetrate much else of my garden when this BEAST is growing. The reason for the long VEG time is I have been dealing with a stem split around week 7 so I've been forced to keep it vegging till its healed.

So my question is: I plan on flipping in the next 2 days or so and I have done some pruning myself but obviously it still looks like it needs more attention to those sucker branches. How do you guys ususally look at a plant and know what to cut and what not to? I am just moving my way up from the bottom of branches I feel are too flimsy and will be using too much energy. Everyone else's pics look great and prune'd or lollipop'd real well but I'm thinking it must be easier with MH/t5 node structures.

I do grow in a Tent and I realize the plant size is quite large for not being flipped but I did just give Bushmaster @ 1ml/gal then 8 hours later flushed with ro water. Haven't seen any stress signs but will keep an eye.

Also quite a few of the fan leaf stems and few main stalks have are real red. Is this sign of underfed?

Here are pics:
The one in the tent was taken 2 weeks ago

With an LED your not going to get much light penetration to the lower plant. Best to prune off most of the bottom growth and sucker branches. I like to trim everything from the bottom to about 8- 10 inches from top of plant. Also leave about 4-6 strong budding branches.

Hoping someone can help answer a question regarding feeding frequency. Right now she is in a 5 gal I am having to give a little under 2 gal water every other day. Should I try watering a gallon everyday or is it better to space out to avoid salt buildup? It's quite dry when I do lift and water the 2nd day and I can see the leaves droop. Also I'm in promise bx should I be feeding every watering?
