Are you my Mother?

So this week I hit the ladies with a heavy-handed round of defoliation. It's been about 3-4 days since I transplanted and the ladies were looking like they bounced back nicely. They should be able to recover in a few days. At which point I'll top them as well to get some stretch from the lower nodes. So it's 3 days later and I went ahead and topped the ladies, i posted a before and after pic.
