Both plants are stretching nicely and are filling out above the support net I put in place. I defoliated most of the large fan leaves throughout the week, leaving about 15% of the bottom half bare. I find it easier to work with the branches and there aren't leaves sitting on top of each other.
Thank you...much appreciated. I'm still new to growing myself but my understanding is if you do combine methods correctly it will produce better yields. LST by itself would definitely have a positve effect on your yields though. I have 3 going so I'm trying each one a bit different from the next to be able to compare for myself. Good luck on your grow!
