Later in the day from the last update on 4/11, I decided to do some pruning.
I'm not really sure why, except that I thought getting rid of all non essential growth was a good idea as I was now at 6 potential bud sites, which was my main goal to achieve before flipping to vertical growth. I am now a little concerned though about only having 6 bud sites. Although allowing two more bud sites on each side of the vine will create 10 bud sites per plant. That seems like it will be a bit crowded.
Here are some shots from today after they started to grow back again. I have let them start to turn up a little bit.
The more I think about it, the more I"m tempted to just let them go vertical to about 8 or 9 inches and then flip to 12/12. Aiming for 18" tall colas will optimally use my space. I think they will fill out nicely and have perfect light penetration and airflow. I'm aiming for nice dense colas and minimal fluff.
