Hello, friend! 👋
You have a well-formed plant! All the growth points are open, you're training it successfully! 👍
The large leaves serve as storage for beneficial elements and the plant needs them! They contribute to proper nutrition and adaptation of the plant! If the plant hasn't dropped a leaf by itself, it means it still needs it and is counting on its presence! 👆
LST for 4-5 weeks, you planned well! I see you have a good plan for this girl! 👌
You're doing everything right, brother! 👍
I think her points are open and defoliation isn't necessary! But if you see the need, start removing the lowest leaves or the middle leaves that are blocking the growth points, but don't overdo it! You can remove up to 30% of fully developed large leaves from the lower and middle levels in one go! Don't touch the upper level and the leaves of the growth points (future buds), they are always needed! 👆 Remove the leaf next to which a branch has already grown and formed its foliage! 👌
Good luck, friend! ✊😇
