Day 58 - As you can see, the stunted one has totally caught up as the stretch phase really got going.
Another angle. The LST towards the outside leaves the center open. As you can see, the plants fill it in. It try and keep a fairly even canopy, from here out.
Day 61 - I did a little light defoliation to expose bud sites. They are both going great, with the previously-stunted one a couple of days ahead of the other, development-wise. Looking great!

The flowering stretch has been booming. Both plants are now roughly the same size and seem to only be a day or two apart on when each step of development starts. I did a little light defoliation, just to expose some lower branches that I wanted to encourage filling in space in the tub. Probably only pinched off half a dozen leaves, between both plants. This is a great example of why you should stick with plants, as the once-stunted plant is thriving and now looks to produce similar amounts to the one that had the healthier start. Also, I do this Miracle Grow flower food as a bridge to better flower nutrients, but I like to give it some N through the stretch. 😃
