LST ok? Defoliation?

you should leave everything onthat plant, outdoors. it'll get 'enouhgh' light all over. That's a nice open plant, great light penetration all day... you're good. If you think something is going to be shaded 80% of day.. maybe? I don't see how that's the case here, though. as far as lollipopping, i'd just keep it easy to water. it is okay to do this in bloom. i do it here and there, but final time is 10-14 days into bloom. Again, outdoors is a different animal than indoors. Don't need much of direct 2000umol/s sun per day to produce something worthwhile.
