Diary Legend: 💧- Watered 🌱- Seedling 🌲- Cut Down 🍃- Defoliation ✂️- Topping or FIM'ING 🚂- Training (LST) Wk3 9/22/21: Day 15. 💧Plant is now reaching the outside of the pot's edge, growth is really coming on strong. Gave the plant a full 1L of water. 9/24/21: Day 17. 🚂💧Growth is looking good enough to perform some LST, which I provided this afternoon. Using two garden staples as support bars, I pulled the middle of the stem slightly one direction, while pulling the top down in the other direction. Green plant wire was used to secure each portion of the plant to the staple. Watered with 1L right before I manipulated the plant. Plant is now completely on the watering schedule of Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's, giving two days of drying out on the weekend. If I keep the watering at the proper level, it will remain on schedule. 9/25/21: Day 18. Plant has taken well to the training. Lower nodes are noticeably longer, trying to race for the top spot. Top of plant has shown great increase in growth, already requiring the shortening of the plant wire tie. I will add in a few more staples if necessary, before switching to tieing directly to the side of the pot. In the middle of next week, likely day 24, I will give the plant it's second dose of nutrients, but switching over to the Power Bloom. 9/26/21: Day 19. Overall plant is looking great. Leaves are big and fat, a characteristic I like to see. As the top had grown longer, I had to readjust the staple, and tied it down further. Next step will be to tie it directly to the pot. The pot is still holding the moisture well, so tomorrow's watering will be adjusted accordingly. I will check the pot first, to determine how much water will be provided. 9/27/21: Day 20. 💧Lower node growth is amazing, just about the same height as the top. Watered lightly with just over 1/2 litre. 9/28/21: Day 21. Had to move the staple back out one more time, it was just a little too short to be attached to the pot yet, just barely out of reach. The lower nodes were getting tall, so I wanted to lower the top now, to have them grow out better. I tucked a few leaves back, to allow light to the other nodes.
