I clipped a few leaves early on cuz they were huge.. like way to big and they were blocking lots of bud sites.. and as everyone can see I didn't top this auto.. it was my first auto and I herd so many bad things about topping autos.. and it's my first attempt at LST and I think shes coming along.. it's really weird though the bud sites have black in them.. think it's about to get very interesting next wee!!
