By the third week I transferred it into its current 2 gallon pot. I did top it at the 4th/ 5th tier. It took it like a boss. I did not notice any type of stunting as by the next morning, the leaves had spread out more to almost cover where it had been topped. This was the first week I introduced her to the 200W Apelila full spectrum light. Noticable temperature change also. Nice and healthy looking with that beautiful vibrant green we have all come to love and appreciate. With limited height, I am shooting for a shorter bushier plant. With this being the last of the seeds handed down over the years, it will most likely become a mother to many.
Like a snake shedding it's skin, the main stem does the same, roughly every four to five days. The thickness of it visually increases every couple days. Still, after 20 years into cultivation, these ladies never let me down in how I watch them develop.
