Week 4 - Vegetative Stage
Hellodelidoo.. So as a reminder I'm faaar from being a pro, and even less with photoperiods (I have to keep reminding myself that time is on my side) and I decided to start LST before the last repotting. Firstly because I had not yet reminded myself that I had time hehe, and consequently secondly, I needed it to take the shape I wanted it to take before growing further. Hooked up the second fan.
I left it to dry for a couple days and repotted it. (By the way, I think it's not a 5gal, but rather a 7gal pot my my..) As my last repotted plant took the process pretty badly, I did not want to water it too much after repot to stress it too much (forgetting again I'm not working with an auto) and in the end went the other way and let it dry too much. I ended up taking 3 hours to water it properly until run off for the first time, juste to make sure I left no dry pockets of soil.
Let it recover, then started a proper LST (I probably could've left this one for later too, as some of the branches don't reach the edge yet) Chopped a few annoying fan leaves, but I'm a bit scared to lollipop now, or if I will even do it.
I realize now I made the mistake to top it too early wanting less but bigger buds. In the end, maybe I should have topped it one node later and chopped the lower ones.
Little one is suffering at the back so I will switch it to flower quickly.
Kept temps and RH at avg 24.5C / 66%
