I thought i could feel my ears burning! XD
LST is a nice way to go but sometimes you just need to soften the stem with a bit of squeezing and go HST (I like to play XD)!
I love a bit of defoliation and getting the light to the lower bud sites. Big solar panels are great, if they aint shading anything, I like your thinking leaving them be!
Long time ago when I bought books on growing before the internet, I remember reading you should never remove fan leaves, that just shows how far we have come since those times!!
I like your Shibari on the girls (In Japanese, “Shibari” simply means “to tie”. The contemporary meaning of Shibari describes an ancient Japanese artistic form of rope bondage.
The origin of Shibari comes from Hojo-jutsu, the martial art of restraining captives. In Japan from 1400 to 1700, while the local police and Samurai used Hojo-jutsu as a form of imprisonment and torture, the honor of these ancient Samurai warriors required them to treat their prisoners well. So, they used different techniques to tie their prisoners, showing the honor and status of their captured prisoner.
In the late 1800′s and early 1900′s a new form of erotic Hojo-justu evolved, called Kinbaku, the art of erotic bondage. Today, particularly in the west, the art of erotic bondage is typically called Shibari, which is an art of erotic spirituality, not a martial art.) Whether it be "Hojo-justu" or "Kinbaku" you girls seem happy with your masterful hand
