Approaching the end of week 4.
Rapid growth spurt from GSC growing 6 inches in a week.
I have not defoliated at all, but have deployed a little strategic leaf tucking which has allowed several bud sites to flourish.
I like to get my indoor plants to around 24 - 30 inches before flipping, so with about another three weeks of veg ahead, this should be more or less on schedule.
GSC was a little slow out of the blocks, growing healthily but slowly. However, after about two weeks, she got her toes planted and has since grown faster than the three other different and very vigorous cultivars growing alongside her.
