D. All of the above Locrian99,
It was topped at 2 nodes, I low stress and topped vigorous growth till I had 21 healthy, level, main tops and whatever grow I decided not to remove going forward . I have decided with this girl that I AM OK TO SUPERCROP, BREAK, BEND AND PINCH AT WILL. This is a extreme controlled comparison.
So pretty much anything goes within reason of its health.
I highly recommend manifolding, you can customize it to your liking but I also recommend for the first couple you do, make a plan and stick to it, don't willy-nilly it like me, do 6,8,10 or so colas.
We will see.
