Defoliated a bit, and tied down a few of the future colas (the ones that could support this operation, as the rest will follow in the next few days).
I really think supercropping resolved the balance issue as you can clearly see the new branches on the left side are actually more developed than the ones on the polyploid side. Next step would be to have all the intended colas tied down, and top the ends so I can start focusing on stretching them away from the manifold
Today (25 December 2023) I did the last topping, and also tied down more of the branches. The right (polyploid) side is continuing to grow a bit slower than the left side - let's see if that changes after recovering from the topping, in theory it should help with boosting growth.
The polyploid side has multiple new growth spots that I didn't remove because it's yet not clear which ones would make for decent branches for me to use, so they will live for another few days until I can tie them down. Also did a bit of defoliation, but nothing too crazy.
Very nice plant, you did a great job.
Yes, I also have 4 side shoots that don't catch up.
I should have tied the larger ones further down until the others had clearly caught up with them.
@AcidBurn_40, I tried keeping the canopy flat - and managed to do that successfully during veg, but once the flowering stretch started I didn't have the space to do that as my box is pretty small (60x37x80cm)
