- started LST on day 13
- Lessons learned: Should have waited a few more days before starting to do LST
- watered 2 x 1l -- 2l
- VPD @ 0.7 -- raised by 0.1
- Light @ 40% - ~460ppfd -- increased by 10%

Sorry for being late with the second week update, but I was really sick. I'm happy that I managed to keep up with taking care of the plants.
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 due to the fast-growing clover. 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. But honestly, I think it was a mistake, and I started a few days too soon with my Lemon Cherry Cookies. She wasn’t as big as the other two plants, and the distance between the internodes is quite small. I guess this is strain-dependent. I should have waited a few more days before starting LST. But I didn’t. Lesson learned. She’s still doing well, though. 😏
