It has been a while since I have stopped by, but everything is looking SWELL!! Fluxy has grown into a monster, ey!
Sending my greetings from Denver
, long time, no see
congrats. hopefully she smokes nice for you
i'll let you know how it smokes, vapes & rolls, soon!
The stretch is strain, phenotype, and environmentally effected. For instance, a lanky tropical sativa would tend to stretch, this type of natural structure can help increase airflow and prevent molds. Whereas another phenotype of the same strain might not have as much of a stretch, which would be an ideal phenotype for trying to keep the plant from going over the fence-line. Another factor that could cause a lot of stretching is being next to the wall. As the sun travels through the sky, day by day, there will be an angle for the shadow, where the plant slowly gets shadowed on its upper growth. The limbs may certainly reach for the sky to try to catch the last bit of rays before the shade comes. So it's certainly possible that the plant, by the time is done growing in Fall, will be very close to the wall-line.
Unless the plant is a very stable autoflower strain, it is going to vegetate all summer and flower in fall and be ready for a harvest in September/October (ideally), since we are getting so close to the Summer solstice in June, and there is no way in hell she would have a chance in finishing flowering before then. She will either go into a small revegetation (which a lot of the times can go unnoticed because the plant just hadn't built up a ton of flowering hormones for it to make a huge difference). So I would say to hope she does not start flowering until sometime in August because that will provide the most of the best, highest quality flowers. I don't see a need to keep picking this plant to the bone, let her be for a while. Just water her and let her grow with the occasional sea-kelp mist. Restrain flexible new growth if possible, but don't take a chance on snapping off woody fibrous growth, it's just not worth it. Even if the growth hardly gets any sun, it can still provide valuable energy to the plant, continually wounding a wounded plant that is still recovering is only going to lower brix levels, which will lower her immune system even more.
I usually only reserve defoliating for the absolute most healthy, vigorous, and hardy specimens that I give the analogy is like trying to control a wild beard, you keep shaving it and shaving it, and it just grows back bigger, better and stronger. I don't see this being the case. She just needs some down-time. The trick is not over-watering at this point, if you can get her to drink her water in a balanced manner, she will metabolize her nutrients better, and infact you will see bigger and better harvests when watering is done correctly.
Just my two cents 'n all.
Lester! great share, that's worth way more than 2 cents but, im broke! One,
..... Two! 
bring it on Teldren! what have you got to share with us? I water with the hose, never seen a water ring, but I'd like to.
Hey buddy here to advise, just bang some pics up for me when you can and we shall see about stripping lower growth etc
glad u like it b.real
thanks Lexblaze, glad we could help, i'll take another look at your girls, those are great pics you shared
i'd like to learn more about those strains & their pheno's, feel free to share more here anytime
do you grow all non-photo's, photo's or both? Looks like all you mentioned are not photo period seeds? I'm learning more about diff strains, pheno's & auto/fem info. 
REPS!!
the NL fem is still growing strangely, check out the newest set of leaves, they are 2 opposing singles, with no spacing below, wierd, she should come around!
Sunset over the Pacific, heat wave gone, time to deploy the moth nets and hit the chair for a spell.
Green Closet that's what everybody has been telling me, about the strange looking few sets of leaves. Have you guys ever seen a new set appear, with no space underneath it? The new set came out right on top of the previous, like touching it close. appreciate your thoughts She's a blessed keeper. Now clone
Thanks Light Addict
LMK if you think we should thin a little.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "remove the leaves on new lower shoots"?
are you referring to the bigger/shade leaves on the top, or the skinny new center tops, that spread apart?
I think you mean the new lower/shade leaf.
today
from a couple days ago
I'm starting to realize how damn good tomatos and year old flowering heirloom brocolli are as sacrificial bait plants. They suck up all the bugs! Get your nitrile gloves and handy-dandy ice-picks ready! 
Just dropping in to say "Worm Alert"
