Does it count if your dog removed damn near all the leaves?
Yes and No.. haha. Leaf stripping eh? My Toy Rat Terrier Mongo will do same thing. Loves leaf, and tokes at bed.
we'll get settled into bed, he sits between us and leans backwards towards Ladybug looking up at her awaiting his hits for sleep.. 3 hits blown into his face, he licks it up.. lies down goes to bed.. if you don't give him hits, he'll start licking your mouth telling you, yo.. break it out. ask him, you want bong hits Mongo, he starts wagging and pawing at the sky on his back... spoiled right?
I bet the plant would recover... and sometimes you just give it to the dog... here. lol.
Well peeps, after removing some leaf material, cleaning up the bottoms, these ladies are beginning to put their height on now.. after cutting on them, I prefer leaf tucking at this point to keep on their stress limited to that day.
So, here you see them a few days after the trimming, removing of upper fan leaf material and the growing shoots beginning to form a nice canopy except on the runt playing catch up. btw, it stinks the most.. lol
1st plant to have upper set of large fan leaf's removed, few days later you can hardly tell.. so now you leaf tuck
the 2nd set of larger fan leaf blocking things..
after some tucking
final goal.. 8 growing shoots & main cola.. clean up bottoms so all plants energies are concentrated on the upper 3/4 of each branch where light is guaranteed to penetrate to..
