Technique
This structure seems more suitable for my HDPE drum that has a diameter of 49cm (19"). I'm doing my best to keep the canopy level and the distances between colas even. I thought it would require some Mr. Miyagi levels of LST skills but it seems pretty manageable. The fan leaves are only about a third of the size of my first attempt, not much defoliation was needed so far. Flushing once a week in this 12L bag, those runoff EC levels don't climb so steep as before for some reason. She's stretching at an incredible rate. All colas show signs of flowering.

Do you guys think it's too early for LST? Attempted on day 11.

Нет, всё хорошо, бро! Отличное решение! Старайся направить верхушку в горизонтальную плоскость и крепи ее на боковине горшка, растягивая её веточки в разные стороны в противоположные стороны горшка! Всё отлично получается! Продолжай! 👌
Удачи, брат! ✊😇

Just noticed these today, it's only the 18th day so pretty much the first signs. Are these male preflowers?! One node above there are clearly female ones with pistils sticking out, but these worry me now..

Привет, друг! 👋
Подожди, пока они подрастут! Это могут быть обычные женские почки! Не спеши с выводами, бро! 👆
Мне кажется это просто женские почки образуются в пазухах листвы! 👌

I defoliated heavily starting week 6, but now 5 days later it's getting pretty dense again. Shall I do another round or would it stress her out and mess with her photosynthesis? Please see diary for the progress.

It looks like you still have plenty of light penetration and airflow. I don't see a reason to defoliate again. Let her recover and only defoliate for one of these reasons:
1) need better light penetration to buds
2) need to bring down the RH or increase airflow if mold is a concern
3) the leaves aren't getting light and aren't valuable for photosynthesis
4) the leaves are sick and dying
If you cannot truly say you're defoliating for one of these reasons, then leave her alone. Good luck!

Defoliating is a very controversial topic, 10 growers will give you 10 different answers. That been said, the plant will always try to regrow foliage after defoliating it. Personally I don't like it and only pluck shaded leaves to improve air flow.
