Hello again hideout gang. A partial, big tent update today for the two older photos, Northern Lights and Hiydrow both had some specific quadline leaf plucks.
My apologies, I didn’t have my phone when I did the plucking, I’ll be sure to get before and after pics when I do the next round of plants. Here are the after pics.
Hiydrow
I highlighted the 4 leaf sites where they were plucked from.
I just realized I marked two of the nodes with the wrong colors. What a winning update! Oh well, you still get it, right?
The idea is to remove leaves that are blocking the newly growing nodes. As the branch grows outward, new nodes grow along in an alternating pattern - top/bottom and left/right. The left/right nodes will grow out fine, but the top/bottom will get some help. By removing the top leaf, (carefully leaving the nodes intact), the node is exposed to light and air, and will (ideally) fulfill it’s life goal of becoming a long, tall cola.
Now here is where some quad trainers differ. Ase removes both the bottom facing leaf and node. In the past I have seen Dutch coax the bottom facing node around and upward, but I’m not sure if he’s still doing that? For me, I remove them, they are usually the most likely to become larf and I find that by the time all the little nodes make their way up, it’s good to create more space for them in advance, and honestly the middle is usually nicely filled in without them.
Not such great news, but also not that big a deal - I was trying to flatten out Mango Kush’s upper nodes more and there was a partial node tear on the right side.
She is the one with the (very) smallest stump. Did it happen because I was afraid it would? Did I bring it to fruition? Or is this the exact reason to let it grow taller before topping = bigger stump? Lol, either way, it happened and it was pretty slight. I propped the wire tie underneath the stem to hold it up and let her heal, she’ll probably be fine tomorrow. I did remove the tie on other side as well, even though it’s still on in the picture.
sorry Mango baby.

I’ve been trying to be more mindful about rotating them around a bit more (thanks Shed), and this PK is the most annoying one! Can’t keep her leaves in her own seat, leaning over and distracting the OGs from their work!
There’s always one.
OG1 is at 9 weeks now and I’m guessing she’s not going to be done for another few or more weeks? When I dropped these beans, I was overestimating that they’d finish up around the end of January, but that could very well end up being pretty accurate.
That’s about it for now I suppose. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
everything’s looking great
Thank you for the advice Amy! 
so far, so good.
...what I told myself after finishing the indoor Candida... If yer using stakes, put them in as early as possible! Actually I told myself that at the moment I was pushing stakes through roots during flower 
So here I am, this is me - rolling with it. #sorrymangobaby
