I think you did a great job! That soil is now going to receive maximum light.

It looks more like a lollipop job than defoliation.

My intention was not this butchery. Im only hoping I haven't totally fucked it up.

Why didn't you leave a few bud sights in the middle of the plant?

Late night, just hit a few dabs and wasn't thinking correctly it seems. Oops

By removing the bud sites in the middle you are kind of defeating the purpose of doing LST. But don't worry its veg time and new growth will eventually occur.
edit: and if you are starting flower, well you can still have some good ol donkey dicks

They'll be fine. I would sort out the health issues before flowering them though, as has been said.

ouch! lol
I guess it could be over fed possibly. First top dress was at week 3 and then again yesterday, the end of week 7. Maybe the frequent EWC would do it?
I didn't realize it looked over fed. Do you say that because it's looks too dark green?
If anything, I probably underwater. Maybe.

Burnt curled edges, very dark green appearance. May just be the camera, but otherwise signs of overfeeding.

thanks... probably not the camera. I guess I could try going easier on the tablespoons next time.
Looks like you hit my swamp last year, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hit mine hard like this last year, and within a week, couldn't tell I did any defoliation.
Hoping the weather is better than last year, seems our MI weather was a damn breeding ground for PM and bud rot,
I didn't lose very much at all to bud rot, but fought PM like I never have before.
Hope you have a bountiful crop this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just did 2 space monkeys. Stepped on them and basically just watered. Bad health last June and on. Mad PM with crazy rain. Ended up going to a copper fungicide. It worked.
But best wishes to you.
