I've got this idea that in this environment (the Caribbean) mixing topping, lst and defoliation is the key to achieve good yields. I'm no expert, but is the way it has been working out for me. Now, we'll see how it works on this photoperiod. After cropping and defoliating, I applied aloes gel directly on the wounds, I have the belief that if its good for the roots, its good for the rest of the plant.
