She looks so fantastic!! I really believe that she picks up on your great concern for her. I totally believe that you two are in communion; not everyone can do that with their plants; they just don't feel it.
I've done exactly what you did: read and read and read, and yes, it's still so much to keep track of, so I go back and do a lot of re-checking. That's why I was unsure what to tell you about removing all the fan leaves at this point in flowering; had to go back and re-read the defoliation section myself to clarify my understanding. I will have one year growing on July 21. I can't wait to see where my knowledge and understanding are in, say, 3 years...
