Welcome aboard mate, good to have you along.
I've made a decision, for now at least, on a training style - if she's staying this stumpy I'm not going to top her, which I figure means I can be a bit more aggressive with general pruning. What I'm going to do is try and prune her into a kind of menorah shape to take advantage of the case dimensions, so I've pruned off the 4 (2 on each side) baby tops that were growing towards the sides of the case and left the two that are growing out towards the front and back of the case intact - over time I'll try and train them out wide.
I also want to try being reasonably aggressive with pruning fan leaves (in particular those that are growing over the tops I want to encourage - I want tops to grow length ways and fans to grow width ways, essentially) but I think it's a bit early yet to hack off the two offenders that are there just now.
Little bit of tip drooping, which looks like too much N to my eye - if so there's not much I can do about it but I don't think it's a serious worry as it is.
EDIT - upside down once again, didn't realise I was growing in Oz.
