No, I get it. Big leaves are blocking light and sucking up nutrient. The lower branch you have marked clone has an adjacent branch which I assume should be a clone also. And the last one is to strip all branches from main stem out to the 3rd node from the tip. Is this last one just the marked branches at the bottom or all the way up? Pics of clones coming in a few hours. Working on that now.
You did a great job here. I cant speak for the cloning process, however your tie downs are on point and its definetly going to help with your height issue.
To supercrop you need to use your fingers to squeeze the stem and kinda mush the stem to make it softer, then bend it downwards and SLIGHTLY twist it a tiny bit, this will cause a "knuckle" on the branch, itll cause your plant to focus on repairing the stem and make it grow horizontally for a little while so that it doesnt spend all its time growing vertically. I did it along with the tie downs and it works great.
Even if its male and even if you dont have enough room, at least your gaining hands on experience for the next seeds. The clones should work out and you can use the techniques youve learned to do what ya gotta do on these new lil ladies.
