Update 18.11:
Everything is looking great besides the one smaller plant in the back left, which is still lagging behind the others. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do to help it because of the Autopot system. Sorry for the late update—I’ve been really busy with work!
Update 22.11
Today was defoliation day! My grow mentor advised me to remove the "big sun leaves"—basically the leaves that sprouted directly from the main stem, as well as others of the same size since they block airflow. I followed their advice and did exactly that. I really hope I didn’t cut off too much, but my mentor assured me that I didn’t, so I’m feeling pretty hopeful that everything will continue to go smoothly. Growing is so much fun!
