CyphingEveryday Days 8-14 What an absolute pleasure watching this baby grow! Her growth has been strong. Not much more to say.

CyphingEveryday Days 15-21 I applied LST on day 15, and it bounced back so fast, as you can see in the first two images of day 15 and 16. So I applied a second stake to fight the main stem. I also defoliated the main stem. On day 17, seeing as I was going away for a couple of days and wouldn’t be able to keep up with LST, I thought I could defoliate some leaves off the main branch to slow its growth. On day 18 I was away, but I had someone at home to take pictures. In the picture, I noticed some spots on the leaves. I didn’t know it at the time, but the main cause of this was that my humidifier was empty, and it was starting to get very dry in there. On day 20 I setup the automatic irrigation system. I’m using the vivosun drip irrigation system, but I didn’t connect the dripping stakes as I thought it would be easier if I tied the pipes to the soil, and just the let water pump through there. The damage from the low humidity was pretty bad. It’s hard to see in the images, but many of the nodes were missing parts of their leaves, had holes, and were curled. Very unfortunate that this happened, but I’m okay with it. This is my first grow, and if I can learn from my mistakes.

CyphingEveryday Days 22-28 During this week, I just let the plant ride out, as it needed time to recover from the humidity problem. Had it not had the humidity problem, I would’ve done a lot more LST. The nodes just weren’t big enough during this time, and needed time to build their stems.

CyphingEveryday Days 29-35 I noticed she started to produce pistils and stretch. She is in flower. This week I did a lot of low stress training, opening up the plant and moving branches farther out. I also removed some leaves that blocked lower leaves. I am excited to see the buds start to form, and am curious as to when that will happen. I will wait and see.
