Golden Goat

Some defoliation in the lower areas of the plant.

Defoliated again

Cleanup

Topped again

Plant looks healthy, so I chose to fill up the plant bag it's growing in with some more soil. The mixture is organic universal soil, chicken manure pellets, a little bit of finely crushed egg shells and a tiny pinch of mycorrhizal inoculant.

Branches were wrapped with garden tape and slightly forced into position to improve bushier growth of the plant.

Removed two fan leaves at the top to improve light penetration. We'll see if the two branches survive/benefit from this. If not, they'll be removed in the next few days.
