Start be removing the lowest leaves and any lower bud sites that aren't doing anything. Be careful not to remove too many of the leaves at the top but a couple off is ok

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and itβs strong enough to make cuts.

Lot's of malformations. Second pair of leaves never appear. Then two heads... maybe a natural topping? There are little bulbs everywhere... she's lost? I prefer to wait but I don't know.
