Yeah I wouldn't do nothing and hope you correct the issue, before you switch to flower or defoliate, you don't want more stress.
You can always do abit of defol before week 3 of flower but I'd suggest not to go over board being newbies, you might cause more harm than good.

1st pic I seen some balls. So that may be a male. but looking at all the others mostly.. I can't tell yet. No signs of white pistils anywhere?

Nothing yet. How long do you usually wait to confirm before removing potential males?

As soon as I noticed male parts I'd get it out of there. Currently still in my first run.. I had a male I needed to separate, so i put him in the ground outside. That sucker got to be 4ft tall lol I barely took care of it. The sun made that plant explode.

That's how they started. I feel so dumb when I look back at how I has things set up when I first got the tent. I had a friggin desk lamp with a home depot grow light (flood light type) and it was 3.5ft above the plants. That's how they got so tall, and major node spacing. (I didn't care much because it was growing)

Day 46 from seed.
Did some LST and topped her. I didn't know jack about LST so all I did was bend her over. Didn't tie any other branches. I should have for more control over it's shape later on. I had also kicked the male out.. removed it from the pot and put it with soil and all into the ground.
The last pic is the male at day 60

That's her recently.. still under the blurples. As you can see.. they worked. I was worried cuz ppl always bash them. I'm not dissatisfied at all. I know it could be better with an expensive light, but for my first grow I can't be mad.

Thanks man! We’re super stoked to have a better setup when our cabinet is done. Gonna plan to have 3 plants running - we didn’t expect all 6 of these seeds to pop! Haha Your grow looks great! My better half is the researcher, which is why we have good lighting. I’m the green thumb, which is why we did coco haha

My other half doesn't involve herself unless she wants to tell me what to do, or what not to do.

I can't wait to do a full grow with the spider farmer. It's a MONSTER in my 2x2 tent.. but I rather my 1st plant get the best I have... maybe it will return the favor. I'm thinking of getting the sf2000 for the 2x4 so I can move the smaller one to the 2x2.

I was thinking the same thing. They look like a cross between a weed plant and a basil plant. That would be interesting and tasty!
