tomorrow everyone will be facing up...
watch what they look like in the AM...
Love doing this for many reasons....
proper defoliation doesn't hurt the plant, it helps it. you can essentially direct where you want the plant to put its energy...
proper LST looks like its high stress but its really easy on the plants and gives them a workout...
balance in all things in life yeah? literally...
yin and yang....
some times low stress has high rewards for growth in not just plants but humans as well...
some times no stress relaxation has high rewards for healing in not just plants but humans as well..
theres a time and a place for everything...
im high and off track, I digress...
if you seek a canopy,
train your fucking plants.
Proper Lights/Wattage
Topping
LST
Good Environment (room, medium, atmosphere)
and a healthy plant is the equation to #####################pound(s) town
that is all. <3
