Photos from day 1 & 4, as mentioned the one girl was damaged by seed, you can see, not being shed properly. Possibly I didn’t plant it low enough..? Misty gorilla germinated n jiffy pellet as back up case the one Malawi didn’t make it. But we’re all good. First watering was plain water, 2nd with root juice. Comments and advice welcome, my first grow.
For your string, you can use cable ties to provide a loop around the stem then tie the string to the cable tie rather than the stem. I use hemp twine instead of string because it's not going to damage the stems and if any fibres get stuck stuck to the plant and end up getting smoked, it's only hemp instead of nylon or other man-made material! I also use bonsai wire instead of garden ties. No reason for this other than it's what I had originally so I stuck with it!
Hope this helps, good luck with your grow - their leaves are looking lovely and lush!
