주요 사실

• Defoliation: removes large fan leaves blocking light from lower bud sites or increasing humidity
• Topping: cuts the apical (main) shoot to produce two main branches — increases width and yield sites
• FIMing (F*** I Missed): a partial top that produces 4 new shoots from one cut point
• Lollipopping: strips lower growth to improve airflow and concentrate energy on the top canopy
• Pruning timing matters — avoid heavy pruning within 2 weeks of harvest
• Always use clean, sharp tools to prevent introducing pathogens at cut sites
