GeorgeGrowss This is officially my first grow. I have some experience with gardening and especially bonsai. Its going to be quite challenging given the limited height of my tent.

GeorgeGrowss Spaying with tap water. Keeping the seedling under a plastic bag for maintaining humidity. Giving around 300 PPFD.

GeorgeGrowss Still keeping the seedling under a plastic bag for maintaining humidity Gave a very little dosage of Bio Grow, to make sure my tap's water ph is dropped a bit. I do not really water it by this point, I just spray the surface of the soil and do same little watering at the edges of the pot I increased PPFD to around 350

GeorgeGrowss The temperature was getting a bit high, so I lowered the light intensity and lifted the pot by 10cm. Now I give around 450 PPFD. Always under a humidity bag to achive a VPD below 1. I was looking into topping or heavy LST. Since I have a very small tent and time constraints with the grow I want to keep the Veg, as short as possible so I decided to LST a bit early. Lots of people told me I do nonsensial stuff, but here I am, LSTing quite early. PPFD 450. I caused some small injuries to some leafs, but lets consider this training as well 😆 Let me know, if you would go with topping or LST for this setup. If you go with LST, at which node would you cut? Now that I started LST, should I wait till branches reach 1-2 nodes before flipping? Note the limited space!! After day 15 I stopped LST and lowered the pot so now getting 350 PPFD. I removed the humidity dome. I will let it grow some more and see... There are some brown spots on the leafs, which I assume are from the difference in PH between plain tap water and water with nutrients. Now it should stabilize since I will feed In every watering. After I abandoned LST I show some good growth, so I decided to top her and keep 3 lowest nodes. I watered 500ml with Calmag and Bio Grow and then topped. Also I kept all the foliage. Topped at end of Day 19 (3 Weeks from Imbibition completed actually). I will let some growth and then LST branches to the end of the pot. I also realised some minor smell??

GeorgeGrowss Week 4 is on. The plant is starting to demanding more water. The branches are developing quite well and the plant did not bother the topping at all. I am feeding at every watering. I kept the big leaves for some days to allow the plant suck their energy.

GeorgeGrowss I keep doing some selective defoliation every few days to allow light reach all stems. Also since this plant is too bushy i defoliate to keep humidity from building up between the touching leafs. I plan on flipping at the 31/1. I water every two days

Se ve bien pero te aconsejo que defolies para que los brotes reciban luz y circule mejor el aire dentro de la planta. Empezando por los dos pares de hojas de abajo del todo, la unihoja y la segunda hoja porque ya son muy viejas y no aportan mucho, más bien roban energía y pueden ser un peligro al estar en contacto con el sustrato. Luego lo dicho destapa los brotes, las hojas grandes encima de ellos hacen de sombrilla y no crecen bien si no reciben la suficiente luz, pero no te pases, no la dejes muy pelada. Buena suerte :)

@All_our_small_plants, Hi there and Thanks for your input From what i have read, I should keep leafs since they provide the energy rather stealing it. Could I wait a bit to cut them until the branches outgrow the radius of the bigger leafs?

@GeorgeGrowss, Cuando las hojas son muy viejas no aportan energía, más bien la planta gasta energía en mantener esas hojas viejas y es contraproducente. Sí puedes esperar a que superen el radio de las hojas grandes, pero esos brotes al estar a la sombra de hojas muy grandes no reciben la suficiente luz por lo que tardan más en crecer 👍

@All_our_small_plants, I removed the big leafs and only kept the very big at the top. I will update the diary today so you can see. Now is indeed much more space for branches to grow freely
