Day 37 : The day of 2nd toping ! I performed first LST on day 34 to set the plant in place for it. Topped above 3th node of two new apex. Removed everything on node 2 (following Nebula's Manifold method).
And i adjusted the LST today right after the topping. Had to perform LST again 7h later, plant full of energy, was already pointing to the sky again ^^
Day 38 : Added some dirt on the pot, since she was a bit tall to me. Added something like 2cm. Made of gardening soil + some homemade compost. Verry litghtely watered the plant at the base, to tell her she can start new roots ^^
Day 41 : Plant showing some Cal deficiencies since multiple days, but it's getting a bit too much to me right now. I hope the compost gonna help (contain lot of egg shells). I also added some seaweed coccolithes lime (cal/mag) beads on top of the dirt (just 4 lol). And I did a watering + feeding, but still using rain water. I could have used tapewater, forgot about this option. Will consider it at next watering.
Day 42 : The topping slowed down the plant for 4 days. I'm not sure about the cal deficiency effects on that, but anyway, the plant seems to be actively growing again. New leaves looking healty. The 4 new apex starting to stretch for real. Nodes 1 from my mainlining seems not growing equaly, I may need to apply LST on some of them soon.
Hi there!
If you are mainlining then you should remove the lower branches now too. If you plan on removing them I suggest that you take the lower branches off at the same time you top your plant. I think it's better to do one bigger stress than keep stressing her little by litle all the time
Happy growing!
