All 5 plants have already been transplanted, topped, and defoliated without slowing plant growth. They are super healthy. I defoliated them real good for the last time. Most growers suggest only using LST on autos......"to each their own". Not much LST with these.....even canopy and plenty of tops...mission accomplished. This has been my most successful method growing autos. Growing in coco and topping later in veg = big autos.
What kind of light you rolling with? I grew fastbuds genetics before but I was not completely pleased with the results I did however get the purple a lot of their genetics lay claim to. I kinda wanna give em another go because I upped my set up and stuff.
