1. The smoke cleared and I lost a few weeks.
2.. I've moved GSC to her final tent with the stronger QB.
3. I topped her at the 5th node and removed 1st node.
4. In the past I've trained nodes 1-3 horizontally to the edge of the container. This spread out the canopy, but it didn't make it even.
5. This time I allowed nodes 1-2 to grow vertically. I'm training nodes 3-4 horizontally instead. Finally, I'll just keep manually manipulating the top node so it gives the rest of the bud sites time to reach the top. So far its working great! My bottom nodes are already almost to the top and the whole canopy is shaping up nicely.
6. Once everything is in place, I'll defoliate the whole bottom part of the plant and get rid of all the popcorn bud sites. I'll let her grow out for 3 nodes or so then flip to flower. That should give me a nice even flowering canopy and 10 solid primary colas.
