Tying 'em back

[OverMedicated]

This was my first experience tying back branches, but there are so many bud sites I needed to get the light to. This African plant has more buds than anything. They just keep coming out. I keep pulling leaves off, but it doesn't seem to be enough. Hopefully some of these will grow and form more shoots with even more buds as it is only 5 weeks old. Maybe y'all can tell me... is it better to have lots of buds or to concentrate my efforts on just a few? I pick the centers out as they grow to cause them to split into more branches' i.e... more buds. I didn't do that except for in the beginning stages of this plant, but it has gone wild. I only had the one seed, looks like I may wish I had more. This is my first photo, if this is what I can expect I can't wait to grow more!

that's a good looking plant. I'd thin the middle out give it some air.

After I read that I immediately defoliated my plants. They really needed it! Thank you so much!
