Tangerine Dream Auto

I had experimented with these two plants... one I just left to do what it was going to do on its own (still supplying the same nutes as the other) but the other one, I did a lot of defoliation in veg state... removed a lot of the lower leaves as well as some bud sites that were NOT coming from the main stem (with tomatoes, we call them suckers). I wanted the plant to put most of its energy into the main bud sites - and it seems to have worked brilliantly... I'll still get a good harvest out of the one I left to its own devices (I've since started to defoliate to aid light getting down inside) but the one I fooled around with in veg state is a bloody monster... It's almost as if the one I didn't fool with is about 2 weeks behind the other even though they're the same age. I can't wait to see the difference at harvest! But that's still some weeks off... 4? 5? 6? Who knows... Still having to LST both of them as they're still pushing up toward the lights and I don't have a whole helluva lot of room... these girls are so big, I wish I had a bigger tent because I know that whatever I get out of them, I could have gotten a lot more with more space and more lights.
