While Karla is not a dwarf, she is my homonculus.
Tomato/tomahto
If you look closely, I have a handful of leaves. If Karla had caught me defoliating this late in flower, she’d make me sleep with her.
You make that sound like punishment
Does Karla snore
Snores, growls, bites and that’s just during sex.
LOL
, instinctively ducked, in case she missed you when she threw something at you for saying that hahaha ![]()

Not my main crop…these are experimental…:>)
I have a few myself. Here’s the latest.
She’s a reveg (like the one above) except she didn’t go full flower. Just started and she got lost. I noticed her one day in the veg tent filling out with those little single leaves. I pulled her out, took out about 12" from the top of the plant. She has about 30 little shoots. I’ll come back later and clean up all the stunted growth.
Is that really you,James?..:>)
Why lollipop so extremely outside? Wouldn’t you get more yield without going so hard towards the top?
This area gets about 6-7 hours of direct sunlight on its best days.Too much foilage+too much moisture= mold,mildew and BUD ROT!!!..besides that,anything that the plants would produce down under wouldnt be matured at the same time as the upper plant…IF I could grow openly it would be much different though…:>)
Ah right on…thanks for that info
High,
Yes trim them. But it is 100%up to you. Trim as far up as you’d like. Remember they’re gonna double in size cone flower time. I grow outdoors in Michigan. Here’s what mine looked like from above and below.
Happy Growing

Bottom line folks…Try it…if it works,try it again…if not,try something different next time…almost forgot,TAKE NOTES!..and have fun while you’re at it… ![]()
You are all so helpful. Thank you. So this morning I went to work pruning. Had a huge mound of stuff when finished. There a bunch in a bucket with very light horse manure water. Let’s see if they root. They look happy.
My main plants are all cleaned up now. While under there I found a few things. Sone toads which might be keeping the bugs and slugs away and my stalks are huge. Inch and half at least.
Plants are as tall as me rt now.
We have had so much rain up here I have been worried about the plants but they look great. Maybe a bit washed out of nitrogen so I gave them some more manure crumbles around their feet.
To my other Massachusetts person, my plants have shown me they are female. Is mid July about the time they begin to think about bloom? Maybe the end of July?
Thanks all!
Let’s see some pics after their haircuts!!
I like to prune outside. But also still like a bush ![]()
Happy growing…
