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

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

It looks good, but I advise you to defoliate so that the buds receive light and air circulates better within the plant. Start with the two pairs of leaves at the very bottom, the single leaf and the second leaf, because they are already very old and don't contribute much; rather, they steal energy and can be a danger by being in contact with the substrate. Then, as mentioned, uncover the buds; the large leaves above them act like an umbrella and they won't grow well if they don't receive enough light, but don't overdo it, don't leave it too bare. Good luck :)

@All_our_small_plants, Hi there and Thanks for your input From what i have read, I should keep leafs since they provide the energy rather stealing it. Could I wait a bit to cut them until the branches outgrow the radius of the bigger leafs?

@GeorgeGrowss, When the leaves are very old, they don't provide energy; rather, the plant spends energy maintaining those old leaves, which is counterproductive. You can wait for them to surpass the size of the large leaves, but those buds, being in the shadow of very large leaves, don't receive enough light, so they take longer to grow 👍

@All_our_small_plants, I removed the big leafs and only kept the very big at the top. I will update the diary today so you can see. Now is indeed much more space for branches to grow freely
