Continuing to let the plants elongate stems so I can bend them horizontally. Plants were fine all week, no issues. Didn't defoliate much.
Deciding to start the 12/12 stretch now. All plants have 4 stems and are about 6" each and growing. This should give me 16 main branches to grow horizontally. If there are too many, I will cut some off. I think it will grow out fine from this stage based on online reading and rereading last grow's journal.
If I remove a side shoot coming out of a stem, is there a chance another may grow out of that spot later? I'm afraid I removed too many side shoots during my scrogging but feel like more will grow back in a week lol. It grows so fast in hydro.
