Nothing eventful lately - all my toppings have gone great so I didn't expect anything else for this last one. On 2nd January (a week after the topping) I did some heavy defoliation but for some unknown reason I forgot to take a "before" pic.
The gist of it is I decided which branches from the polyploid side to let live, and which were removed. I ended up with 14 mains (6 on the normal side, 8 on the polyploid side). The branches on the polyploid side are less developed than the regular side, but I don't really care too much as I'm in no rush of sending it to flower - I need to fill the whole volume of the box, so there's more vegging ahead 😅
I did another defoliation because I needed proper light to my growth spots and, as always, I'm not growing this plant for leaves 🤓
Removed quite a few leaves, and the shooting new branches off of the mains, and repositioned and flattened the canopy. At this point I'll send her to flower after the canopy raises another 5-7 cm as right now I'm stretching the mains away from the manifold in a very flat manner.
I probably need another 1-2 weeks until it reaches the point I'm confident in starting the flowering schedule.
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)
