Looks too small to start hacking on. Some of the guys would be taking a machete to it, but I'm not of that ilk. Let 'er grow for a bit and get some height IMHO.
What flavor is it? Looks like a indica heavy variety. Auto or photo?

Not sure it's been very hard to find seed someone gave me 3 to look at them I'd bet the bank they were no good
Then the worst one sprouted made a grow tent from a dog cage/kennel then it litteraly took off I've never had one that massive while that small , it's bout impossible to try anything outside so come across some led grow lights been learning as I go

Very nice plant. Just let her grow dawg. Your just learning so don't worry much about them leaves. Ya can play with leaf removal later when there's a bunch of them.
If ya need some examples of leaf removal or training check my rerun thread. I do a lot of training with plants.

Yep its a big debate to defoliate or not to. I used to pluck them. I give a good defoliation after up potting and like the second week of flower. That way bud sites are not getting blocked from light. No real wrong way to grow ganga. It’s a resilient plant and she will tell you when she don't like something. Yours looks green and healthy.

Leave the fans on as long as possible........ They are the solar panels for your plant.......

Your one of them solar panel guys..lol. I get that remark now n then too. All good. Leaf removal is a good thing if done with some common sense.
It is actually a good easy training method.
I trim at up pot from 1 gal to 3 gal if inside or to the forever home outside. Again I do it like 2nd week of flower to free the bud sites.

No not really...... I just used to grow a little differently form others....... I dont trim those fans till they start wilting on their own...... I want that base of the plant to get every bit of energy it can....... So when it starts resprouting..... it comes back vigourous'

No..... when you harvest...... leave the bottom third of the plant with the popcorn buds....... that is where the new growth will come from

the plant will drop all the fans and most foilage........ it will look dead for a couple weeks...... but leave it under 24/7 light and those low buds will start to look strange..... then you will see new growth from them...... It might be strain specific..... i know most the purples will reveg..... I grew Chrystal

Ive revegged the same apple fritter plant twice and made over 20 clones from her too. Got a Lavender Jones reveg IN FLOWER going now just because i got a huge amount off her the first time.

I'm with ya. I don't cut any leaves unless they're dying. After I throw it into flower mode, then is when the chopping starts. I grow SCROG, and after I've got 'em above the screen and looking full, I cut off anything below the wire. Then I'll trim a few leaves that are blocking bud sites. I figure, if it wasn't meant to be there, it wouldn't be there.
I'm not going against the machete boys, but I've got my own ways that work out great for me.

I for go all that and just take clones at 21days or so in flower. Same thing only faster.
They unfold and yeah..weird growth for a min then they explode.
Endgame is pretty fun. Hard to beat a monster clone when it comes to branching and cola sites.
