GeorgeGrowss This is officially my first grow. I have some experience with gardening and especially bonsai. Its going to be quite challenging given the limited height of my tent.

GeorgeGrowss Still keeping the seedling under a plastic bag for maintaining humidity Gave a very little dosage of Bio Grow, to make sure my tap's water ph is dropped a bit. I do not really water it by this point, I just spray the surface of the soil and do same little watering at the edges of the pot I increased PPFD to around 350

Microgrow. Week 3 - Here the pot is lifted.
Humidity bag is off for some photos.

Microgrow. Week 3 - Day 14
No I do not train leafs... Made sure all leafs get proper light.

Microgrow. Week 3 - Day 15 and seems recovered from the bend.

GeorgeGrowss The temperature was getting a bit high, so I lowered the light intensity and lifted the pot by 10cm. Now I give around 450 PPFD. Always under a humidity bag to achive a VPD below 1. I was looking into topping or heavy LST. Since I have a very small tent and time constraints with the grow I want to keep the Veg, as short as possible so I decided to LST a bit early. Lots of people told me I do nonsensial stuff, but here I am, LSTing quite early. PPFD 450. I caused some small injuries to some leafs, but lets consider this training as well 😆 Let me know, if you would go with topping or LST for this setup. If you go with LST, at which node would you cut? Now that I started LST, should I wait till branches reach 1-2 nodes before flipping? Note the limited space!! After day 15 I stopped LST and lowered the pot so now getting 350 PPFD. I removed the humidity dome. I will let it grow some more and see... There are some brown spots on the leafs, which I assume are from the difference in PH between plain tap water and water with nutrients. Now it should stabilize since I will feed In every watering. After I abandoned LST I show some good growth, so I decided to top her and keep 3 lowest nodes. I watered 500ml with Calmag and Bio Grow and then topped. Also I kept all the foliage. Topped at end of Day 19 (3 Weeks from Imbibition completed actually). I will let some growth and then LST branches to the end of the pot. I also realised some minor smell??

GeorgeGrowss Week 4 is on. The plant is starting to demanding more water. The branches are developing quite well and the plant did not bother the topping at all. I am feeding at every watering. I kept the big leaves for some days to allow the plant suck their energy.

GeorgeGrowss I keep doing some selective defoliation every few days to allow light reach all stems. Also since this plant is too bushy i defoliate to keep humidity from building up between the touching leafs. I plan on flipping at the 31/1. I water every two days

Hey growmie, I suggest you measure you light strength in DLI with one of the free apps for that and move it a bit higher from the plant. It looks like you're giving her a bit too much at the current stage. Good luck!

@einamio, HI thanks for the advice, I give 35 DLI and the light is 30 cm away and cant get further due to limited height. I have the photon app and I adjusted it to 35 DLI, how much would you give, given that the plant is almost a month old and next week i am planning to flip?
