OK I trimmed up my babies, I cut off the lil leaves at the bottom, dont think they do any good anyways. Then like you said at each node I cut a Fan leaf off all the way to the main stem, then next node I cut off the one on the opposite side. The first one I did looks kinda funny but the others look real good, but they werent as bushy as my big one, I left all the branches that had growth like tops, so I think that will help alot when I add them to the cabnit.
got part of the room cleaned out of the way, now have to wait for someone to come help me move my a big peice of furniture way over to the door, that will leave me with a big space for the cabnit
, have to run to town and get some plywood and 2x4's , white gloss paint.
