You’ll get a more naturally flat canopy. The slowing down of the top will force those side branches out and up. Making the chopstick training easier. Pull that trigger! Lol or give’m a day to grow a bit more stem.

I’m still stressed out about it. My woman @McMissy138 just got home from work and I was like yo… I think I want you to do this 
This is a hundred percent alien territory

@ThermoNukePanda if her track record with pruning has anything to say about this, she’ll be a natural. Show her the step-by-step from @CygnusX1 
mine is a bad example from a super noob.

@Dr.ofSmokology Well, I don’t know the difference or how one would turn out better than another so we’re just going to go with “I tried” lol

Scroll up to those photos of my Lemon Tree plant. Take a deep breath. That baby is still thriving after being snapped in literal half. Yours are going to be happy as clams, I promise. 
they look great

It looks perfect in my questionable opinion. Hahaha! I’ve tried the fim every grow and sometimes it works, sometimes it just tops it, or sometimes nothing at all. But now you have a lil experience in it and you’ll be good either way. Good work!

Happy Sunday all!
So fun news is I discovered yesterday that there is a “bootleg dispensary” right down the road from me. It’s hilarious.
Like you go there and buy an overpriced sticker of varying cost (see above) and any cannabis products you receive are a “free gift with purchase”
I picked up this friendly farms melon brainz 1g oil cartridge (DEEEEEELICIOUS by the way) for 60 bucks. They have a buy 3 get 1 free deal I absolutely will be taking advantage of as the real medical dispensary it’s 130-150 for a 1g cart!
On to da babies!
They’re looking alright. They keep perking back up from any bending I keep rotating using the chopsticks. Also, they seem to not have minded the topping I tried to do on them either
So I moved yet again the chopsticks to keep bending in awkward angles and again rotating the direction of stress.
BONSAIIIIIIIII!!!

that’s insane. Our medical runs $68-90 for 1g. Good finding the less expensive alternative out there
Told you they’d be fine. They’ve got some nice new growth happening there!

@Graysin Here in NY it’s been brutal. That’s like 95% of the reason I embarked on this journey was due to the cost.
Vireo’s (the dispensary near me which also has other locations in NY. You can browse their site) formula vapes are 69 for 500mg, and 130 for 1g.
They also sell these Elite Live Select carts, and they’re tasty and do the job great, but they’re 75 each for 500mg carts.
Insane…
And the edibles are expensive as hell too. So yeah I was stoked about the 60 bucks for a 1g cart at this other bootleg place lol

Same. I moved to NM from Oregon a few years ago. Dispensaries in OR had wild prices like $0.01 joints and $40 ounces of flower. Edibles were a bit higher but a bar of chocolate still topped out at like $20. In NM, an ounce of flower runs like $200 “on sale” if you’re lucky. I’d be scared of NY pricing

None at all, weirdly enough. She just started to stretch real tall and lanky outta nowhere one day and never really stopped. She’s not even in preflower yet, she just said “hey I’m gonna grow now.” Super weird!
My others are certified bushes, minus the delinquent who nearly died. (Short stuff on the left haha)
