Hey, i got one of my two plants that seems just as healthy as the other in the same earthbox that kinda sorta has maybe a problem. Its growing a lot of vegetation but is also growing very compact so there is no room for the growth to go. Its trying to throw more branches out but is getting blocked by big fan leaves, and starting to curl the leaves of the new growth due to no room.
My question/advice seeking, is if i defoliate some of the fan leaves to make room for the new branches will it considerable stunt the growth of an auto, more than just letting it do its own thing wail assisting it by moving the leaves when possible.
Here is some pics of my situation and i can provide more info if needed.
PS-my phone is making the plants look more yellow than they actually are, only visible problem is very small yellowing on the tips of some of the newer fan leaves.

nice looks like it turned out great
If you can take and pin the sides down, I use landscaping pins until they branches reach the outside of the pot then I use soft ties. That’ll open the center up, I would bend the top main over as well so your not left with 1 main cola growing from the top

Likewise, I like experimenting with techniques on autos, thinking of just bend and LST on this new run. Will be a 1st for me without any HST. Nice job again on the harvest

I bought some but chose to stay with J shaped landscaping pins. They’re about 10” long with a loop/hook . Interested on how that UV works out.
