Hello Growers & Tokers!
No stress from last weeks topping.
This is the last week of vegetation so I defoliated them before switching to flower.
Toke away the big fan leaves from the middle and cleaning the bottom of the plants.
I take off the first node and on the second and third node; I take off the first and second nodes.
That's growth that won't amount to anything so I go ahead and get rid of that already.
Taking the bigger fan leaves off will help with light penetration under in the canopy.
Talking about the canopy, the result after topping was as expected.
There's an even canopy of future colas, there was no need to LST them or anything.
They got into place by themselves. I will be adding support soon though to help out during flower.
Take care out there and happy growing!
