10/03/24 Short facts:
- started LST on day 13
- watered 2 x 1l -- 2l
- VPD @ 0.7 -- raised by 0.1
- Light @ 40% - ~550ppfd -- increased by 10%

Sorry for being late with the second week update, but I was really sick.
This week, I increased the VPD by 0.1 because it wasn’t necessary to maintain such high humidity anymore.
Unfortunately, I’ve got problems with fungus gnats, which is probably no surprise because of the clover, which is growing very fast. Since I’ve been keeping the top layer of the soil moist every day for the clover, it allowed the fungus gnats to lay their eggs. To combat this, I used nematodes.
On Day 13, I decided it was time to start with LST. I used some soft garden wire to stretch the plant to the other side of the pot, exposing the side branches directly to the light. I startet lightly, because she was already leaning to the side.
AvT is currently the fastest-growing plant in the tent.
But that’s not surprising since it’s right in the middle, getting the best light exposure in my grow tent. Plus, it’s a plant from Mephisto Genetics, which is well-known and very stable. She is meeting every expectation i had.
