So back in the early days I broke off one stem when lst'ing after topping. Tried to save it but could not. :(
I did get one oddball shoot that hermied. May have been the ghost of the lost stem. I vaped it in tribute.
I have defoliated quite a bit of this plant, supercropped a few taller branches, and have had no issues with stress. Strong genes I suppose.
I highly recommend PFP. Just the smell of it when you touch it makes it worth growing.
@PotCasso, thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try that, just need to get sunglasses. The lines only happen with my 70 watt light. Must be a lower hertz than my other light.
