SucculentChineseMeal Two phenotypes are stretching with wider spacing between nodes, with one remaining half the size, but is more dense in terms of foliage. They have all been topped from node 4 and nodes 6, and slowed down slightly in growth pace from the node 6 toppings. It'll naturally freak out temporarily but expect another big stretch over the coming weeks. All seem healthy in vegetation so far. LST will come in next weeks as the branches and the flower sites begin to become visible.

SucculentChineseMeal Some recovery after the node 6 toppings, the leaves are pushing through. Looks like it's itching to have its branches thicken out and slingshot vegetation a good deal more. It's exciting to see this ramp start off! New leaves daily! As I expect the branches to thicken in the next 1-2 weeks, preparation for LST comes nearer, and I will expect a change in nutrients as I expect a start in some starting pistils and flower sites to show.

SucculentChineseMeal White pistils are showing, flower sites are starting to show along the branches. I expect another 2 weeks of vegetation pushing the lower sites up to reach the light. So now's the right time to do some LST! Poked a few holes into the fabric pots and looped the soft cable through to hold the outer branches out, making sure the lowest sites get the upward room to push up without getting shaded out by the biggest fellas on top. After about 2 days, I noticed the top sites rotating fully upwards and the lower branch sites happily pushing up with the open space. Little mistake was to pull the most centered branches closer to the main cola, trying to tie those down caused a slight tear from the main trunk. If your branches are kinda thick, LST on closer to their tops to avoid any risk of breaks! They should recover as long as they aren't stressing too much under their own weight, lift em up!!!
