Flower Day 8 – Defoliation & Lollipopping
Today a full cleanup and structural adjustment was carried out.
Plants were defoliated and lollipopped to remove lower growth and improve airflow and light penetration. At the same time, branches were trained further to achieve a flat and even canopy.
The full 1.2 × 1.2 area is now nearly filled, which should allow for optimal light usage going forward.
Timing feels right, as the stretch is still ongoing but structure is now set for the flowering phase.
From here on, the focus will be on maintaining the canopy and monitoring development as bud formation progresses.
