I like getting really stoned and then looking at the plants - and I make sure the scissors are not close
I didn't take any more pics, but here's the areas I was contemplating in this tent (I treat a manifold like a bonsai)

Looking at the lower 'larf' and foliage on the inner sprouts, and thought initially about lollipop-ing them to beef up the tops.
Or maybe just removing the nugs and leaving the foliage.
But I think that having them so close to the primary stem, they should get all they need to fatten up.
Thought about untying the BHP but it's fine for now - the scammer has been untied for a week or so and is still candelabra'd.
More hash-brain notes and random stuff.
I still haven't done much defoliation on any of the big plants in the closet, except the lower stuff I took pre-flip. The older HC lost the lower round last watering just due to having more shade in the tight closet. They were starting to die off naturally.
I think that once they are trained/separated and I have good air around each top my defoliation is done. I am not even worrying about lower tops getting shade or anything.
A good 6-8" of unobstructed airflow between the dirt and the plant seems to help with gnats. Since it looks like the BHP lower sprouts aren't going to strive for tallness, screw 'em. I am untying it and she's losing those lower small leaves. They have gotten a good start and will ripen when the rest of the plant does, direct light or not.
Think twice - cut once
