-11/27/22 starting off the week at 7 in. tall. Also getting some purple on the stems of leaves and the branches/stalk, not sure if its just the plant or a deficiency. Going to start giving some cal/mag with watering instead of nutrients and see how that goes. Removed the top shade leaves on the main stalk and the side leaves off both first level branches.

-- concentration on cal-mag wad too high and got some damage on multiple shade leaves, going back to just watering with straight water. Removed some of the shade leaves off the sides of branches at level 2 & 3, starting a lollipop grow style.
--upon inspection after watering found that roots had made it to the bottom of the pot. Transplanting to bigger pot in the next day or so.
-12/1/22 transplanted into a 12 gal pot, this will be it's forever home because im not going to transplant it again. Large quantity of roots were at the bottom of the soil in last pot and some covering the sides. Gave a half gal of water with nutrients and bio-force, will have more pictures at the end of the week. Pictures will now be taken in grow space because of difficulty of moving pot.
-12/3/22 started LST today with a method that I came up with using things I already had around the house. I think it's going to work great and open up the inside area of the plant. Still going with the pruning style that I started before. Might have to top some of the branches because of space limitations but that won't be any time soon. Will be removing the bigger shade leaves at the top of the main stem tomorrow.
-12/3/22 End of week
@Tweezer, thanks. they came out okay, even if the experiment was found to be a failure. Still waiting for the lower calyxes to Finnish, but should get around a few ounces off this plant.
@AutoGOAT, so I had it sitting on the humidity cap because the bottom was messing with the wooded surface I had it on. When I did the last watering I didnt see that some of the water had drained into the cap that it was sitting on in the morning (I water at night before the lights turn off), during that next 18h it had started rooting out of the bottom. When I found what happened the roots were sitting in the water, but a hasty transplant looks like it saved its life. It's looking good now and I'll have new photos at the end of the week.
