Crystal Candy XL Auto : Sweet Seeds

For week 8 I've decided to do one last pull down to help open her up. She was doing well and just fine how she was prior to the pull down, but I'm trying to increase the yield as much as possible. More light to more flowers equals a larger harvest. I did some minor defoliation was as well, I guess I should say that I did targeted defoliation specifically. The only potential concern I have is will the branches stand up to the weight when she gets bigger. I don't know yet so we will have to wait and see. I've definitely learned a lot over all my grows and I think she is showing that in her structure. I'm trying to crack the 3.5oz mark with this light because I know it can, it's just about technique. I'm also going for a 15 inch distance to see how it stresses the plant as I don't know how close she can get before doing real harm.
