Week 4 starts with a good showing already from the slight defoliation that was done at the end of week 3. Nutrients are being scaled up as there have been no signs of concern. She is now being watered every 2 days, and I imagine that in the next few weeks it will be every day. I will try to keep the training and defoliation to a minimum for the next week or so.
I've applied a ponytail to give those 2 nodes about 24 hours to and soak up as much light as possible before being blocked by leaves.
I ended up putting the ponytail on for another 12 hours. I am pleased with the results. I've also removed another pair of fan leaves. I've also started LST with two branches that were creeping up. I wanted to create some space for the nodes that are still developing where I've defoliated.
She is responding very well to the training. Time to let her do her thing.
@kette420, it has handled the defoliation just fine. There was no obvious slow down in growth. As long as you don't go crazy on the defoliation it should be fine. I'll check out your post and see if I can give you any suggestions.
