01.05.: Watered with ~60ml. Temperature way too high with 32°C and Humidity too low with 45%. Height: 4cm. 02.05.: Watered again with ~60ml. Since the temperature is still very high I opened the window in the morning. In the afternoon the temperature dropped from 32°C to 22°C and the humidity increased from 45% to 55%. I hope this drastic change in temperature doesn't stress the plant. Height: 4.5cm. 03.05.: I raised the LED to about 7cm above the plant. Temperature 24°C, humidity: 58%, height 4.5cm. 04.05.: The stem starts to look a little purple. I'll keep an eye on that. The whole seedling is tilted a lot too so I stabilized her with too toothpicks to get her to stand up better. I also installed a more powerful LED ~35cm above the plant. Temperature 25°C, humidity: 50%, height 5.5cm. 05.05.: I removed the toothpicks since the plant was standing upright on it's own. Temperature 27°C, humidity: 50%, height: 6cm. 06.05.: Stem might be a little too long. At least it's shaking a lot in the air circulating. I'm thinking of supporting it again but so far all seems ok. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 50%, height 6cm. 07.05.: Leaves are hanging a little bit down and the tips are starting to curl upwards. I assume it's because she's dehydrated which would make sense since I haven't watered in few days. Gave her ~100ml of water. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 63%, height 6cm. Overall my Fat Banana seems like the most developed of my three plants. Even though I hope the stem is not too weak since it's shaking a lot in the breeze. So far everything looks fine and healthy though I hope the bend and curled leaves are really a sign of dehydration and not a problem with the roots. I'm thinking about introducing them to organic fertilizer in the next cupple days.

Good Luck! Stem with a plant height of 6 cm doesnt look too bad in my opinion. I think mine were a bit shorter at this stage, but not a lot. Maybe your "wind" is too strong? I did not let it blow directly on the plants at this stage.

@taprootArmy, Glad to hear. I'm quite worried about the stems lenght since it elongated so much in the first week. I read online that setting up a fan at this stage would strenghten the stem. My second plant doesn't have any problems with shaking and she's in pretty much at the same stage.

Yo, I'm also growing this strain. Be careful with your LST, I screwed up by just tying the main stem of the plant over and calling it a day. I should've wrangled all the other stems, then I would've been able to at least figure out what leaves go where and how crowded everything was. If I had trimmed in week 6 or 7 when I could comprehend the layout of the plant, I probably could've avoided the bud rot that lead to an emergency week 12 partial chop.
