I would personally just tuck any leaves out the way. Unless you have humidity reasons. If it didn’t like it last time don’t do it again.

Thinning the Fan Leaves?When (if ever) should I thin out the fan leaves? It's my understanding that removing the majority of the fan leaves will help direct growth towards the buds, but I don't want to do this process too early. The plant is currently outside and in its 7th week of growth.Week 6

I'm thinking about topping my Dr. Grinspoon in order to keep her in a short height from 60cm. But im worrying about the time she needs to recover from topping, which is important time for her very long flowering period. What would you recommend? Topping or any tips on better LST?Week 4
