I-95 Clone/ LST and Heavy Defoliation

—

So no pics or data from last week, but mid week 1 I overwatered her due to poor drainage. The clone died but she started bouncing back after about 10 days.

Fully recovered from me almost killing her, retying my twine every few days for low-stress training

I was happy this week, it seemed like the training/trimming didn't bother her at all. Watering at the end of this week was 6 cups, about every 3 days. This watering schedule was maintained until well into flowering.

I may have reduced my end yield, kind of thinking heavy defoliation is less productive with my bonsai-tree shaped plant. We'll see!

Started getting some natural sunlight this week, since it's not a thousand degrees anymore in Phoenix.

I accidentally overwatered because the top of the soil and an inch or two down was pretty dry. I overlooked the fact that she was outside and that sun was drying the top out but the soil was still moist further down. Oh well, she seems happy again.

This is my first grow so it's probably due to that, but watching the buds grow and being able to see development from morning to that evening is really fun. Now that the weather is nice I'll be able to get her outside for some natural sun a lot more often.

Thought I was over-watering but was actually under-watering so I feel like a huge douchebag. I think she's all healthy and happy now though so...
