It may not look like it but I did super crop it. It bent 90 degrees and bounced right back. If anything it just made the stalk stronger but it bent right back. Did a little leaf plucking to expose more light. Smells like the freshest pint of strawberries pine needles and orange citrus. Made a homemade compost tea made of compost, worm casting, kelp, alfalfa, epsom salt,(which also makes a great top feeding) I also throw in a couple tablespoons of fish emulsion and unsulfured molasses. the strawberry pie and all my other autos and photos reached for the skies within 2-3 days of compost tea. It’s amazing what natural organic nutrients can do.
