@Cotton46 look what a little tying up can get ya!
Hahaha, just kidding, bro, you should do exactly as you feel comfortable with. Keeping her healthy will yield great as well. I have to tie them pretty flat, because of very limited spInto just wanted to tag you in my journal. Cause I'm so fucking proud!
Today is day 92. The waiting will be a long, long one, but she's going to be worth it.
Here she is, viewed form above. Nice and round.

There's loads of buds, most of them are decent size and then some are a bit smaller and then there's the popcorn, which I should have removed long ago. I forgot the second round...lol!
It's not really visible form this photo but the center is actually shaped like a bowl. So the center is quite a bit lower than the outside of the plant. That's because when making the circle, she became too wide. I had to settle for letting the main buds grow upwards again too early.
At the same time had no more room pulling the inside branches outward (buds and branches would touch each other) and couldn't figure out a satisfying way of tying those branches down otherwise. I eventually decided to supercrop them.
This has stunted growth for sure. I might not have done it right. Better luck next time! I'm not complaining!
Here's the side view.

As you can see the main branches are covered in buds. Most buds don't actually touch each other to form one big cola but are all separate buds. This is because I flattened her out. For starters, my cabinet isn't high enough. Second, quality trumps quantity. Unless it isn't enough to survive until next harvest. Then you're fucked.
Read this and the next sentence with a whispering voice. "Rumors have it, there's more than 50 budsites on there..."
Here's what most of the buds look like closer up:

Still no ambering. None to speak off, anyway. But as I've said, I'll wait until the leaves sticking out of the buds, like in the pics, to turn yellow, unless I have 20-30% amber. As I've said: it's going to be a long long wait...
Tell me what you think guys!
