Looking really nice! So what did you do with the clipping of leaves to get the other branches to catch up? Can you elaborate a bit on that, sounds like something I want to learn:)
So what I do is clip the very top tiny tiny leaves at the tip of the tallest shoots.
Starting with the main branch at about 12" tall
Then again a week later to all the shoots that are taller than the rest. In order to let the others catch up.
When I say top fan leaves I mean the very very tiny ones. If they have even 1/32" of a stem I carefully remove them. And maybe the set or 2 below. See the pics below
What this does is re direct auxins to other shoots to catch up but the stem you clip will regain dominance.
So it does the job of topping but you don't lose the apical branch with the big fat cola. When you top it never gets as big as the main branch would have.
@Wisher619 taught me this. Please wish if I'm missing something or messing something up let us know. I recommend you go over to
@EventHorizan thread as we have been talking and learning this in ver very long detailed convos.
First pic is first time at 12"
Second pic is second time a week later
Third pic is today. 4 days after second time and 3-4 days from flip. See the main branch lower than the others. I love it
