I appreciate your grow diary. I have a similar setup, and I am growing 2 NL's, AND I think I stunted them around week 2 ; ) It is encouraging to see how big yours are turning out to be. I was thinking about tossing mine too, but after seeing your diary I have decided to run them to harvest. I hope mine turn out as well as yours did. Cheers.

@ThePhattKidd, I have heard of people using the technique for that purpose as well. In that case they usually apply it to a branch and bend it over near its connection to the main stalk. When it is bent over, the plant thinks it is dead, so it starts forming a new node at that connection, but then the damaged branch recovers as well so you are left with 2 healthy branches from a shared node. In my case it is only to be applied to the main stalk, and only for the purpose of increasing malleability of the stalk for bending it over. Here is a link to the video I watched. This fella's LST is really neat and he is able to get the main stalk right over: https://youtu.be/-Dg5hFEvS3E
