Clementine Rhythm Bagseed

I noticed a lot of stunted growth near the main stem, so after reading some articles I decided to try defoliating (probably a mistake) and LST (definitely not a mistake). Originally I thought I’d spiral it around the outside of the fabric pot but it was already too tall for that (strength of the main stem made it difficult to position correctly), so I ended up bending it over and securing it with a paper clip and plant tie. Still in a one gallon and soon will be transplanted.
