Need Help With My First Clones

[jackspider76]

I been veg my clones of Phantom cookies for 2 months. There healthy but looks bunched up together. Is this normal? should I let them keep veg like this, or should I start removing some of the leaves.

Bro, they look amazing and very healthy.. do nothing as far as trimming. When you flip them they'll start their stretch and then you can remove some lower leaf if necessary. What I do is LST -(Low Stress Training) them at this point if you wanna keep vegging. I simply drill small holes in the top of my pots, feed some twine or whatever ya want, even used fishing line before.. pull the main branches apart so light can penetrate the canopy much better and fill out the branches.. looks like some very tight nodes,
but with them looking so healthy, if it's not broke, don't fix it... by the time you flip these their gonna be just awesome man.. best of luck.

Those look like some happy plants, they do seem to have short inter-nodes, from what I know. I wouldn't cut away any leaves, but some growers do. I let my photosynthesis max out, and only cut away leaves when they start dying.
They look like strong indicas, so they will be short and bushy by nature.
The short bushyness comes with many clones (not all of them are propagated with apical buds). If you pinch all but one of the stems, you'll start getting some height again. (Called "Restoring apical dominance")
It might also be that your light intensity is high and the plant is metabolisisng faster.
