Hello Growers & Tokers!
Ladies suffer no stress from being topped.
This is the last week of vegetation so I defoliated them before making the switch to 12/12.
Taking away the big fan leaves from the middle and cleaning the bottom of the plants.
As you can see these leaves are thick so taking them away will definitely give more light penetration.
I take of the first node off and on the second and third node; I take off the first and second nodes.
I also bent to top branches of one because she was a bit taller.
No need to add support yet but I'm it'll be necessary throughout these next weeks.
Take care out there and happy growing!
