I started by germinating all 4 seeds in water for 24 hours. Then, I went ahead and planted them directly into their final pots (14 liters each). In hindsight, I would have waited for the taproots to develop more before transplanting. Two of the seedlings seem a little worse for the wear, and one hasn't even sprouted yet. I'm giving it a few more days before I check, but I'm definitely feeling a bit anxious.
Snapped 2 branches while trying LST for the first time. Any idea how bad this is for my plant? Should I stop training to avoid more stress since I already topped her this week, or any other advice on how to redeem this mistake? 😩
It happens, you're fine. Honestly I remove those first node branches(sometimes the 2nd too)anyway as they tend to grow stretchy with large gaps between nodes. When using LST, take baby steps when working with stems that are starting to stiffen up.
You'll be fine with the lack of air movement at this stage of your grow, shouldn't cause you any issues! As long as you got a replacement fan coming at some point within too long, I would not worry😇
Congrats on your first harvest, looks like the grow went well. I have a 2x2 also, and have found that one healthy plant usually fills the space. Good move on the outdoor plant.
