Power Buds Plagron x Zamnesia / Biscotti

Day 23 To make the deadline for the contest i have to flip at the end of November. That is why i opted against topping because i can not risk to stunt her for a few days. A strict LST will keep all tops at the same height and the growth hormones evenly distributed. So i got to work and fixated her with a 90° LST-clip (25pcs. pack for 3€, Zamnesia) and 2 bows made from wire-hangers. The bows are 25 cm on each side and i bent the tips in an 135° angle away from the center so that they anchor themself in the soil. I squeezed both sides together while pushing them in to the soil and release them to spread when they sat deep enough. The stability will be important later on when the plant gets bigger. Day 24 After just 24h all branches/tops redirected they're growth. Hopefully she continues to respond that well to training, the bending was easy and i had no fear of breaking the stem. Other plants sometimes feel way more fragile but this one likes to get bent over and is quite flexible. Ahhh what? Sorry 😳 With the Blumat Digital (45€ at the Blumat Web-shop) i can keep the moisture in the soil at the optimal level. Ill bottom water with Sugar Royal 1:1000 in rainwater whenever the tensiometer is at about 90-100 mbar. Half a liter brings the reading down to around 50 mbar. The lighting situation is the same as last week but she is now about 10 cm further away from the light. I am not lowering the light because the intensity was a little high for the growth stage. I will continue to train her for now. Building a ScrOG frame is the other option i consider, what training method would you chose for the given circumstances? Have a relaxed week everyone!
