Guada/ first time grower

Week 10 (June 7th - 13th) This was the week that I transplanted the plant into a much larger pot. It is a 10 gallon pot. I have heard that using a pot larger than 5 gallons can be beneficial to the growth as sometimes the roots get too crowded in a 5G pot. The same week I had topped the plant. I heard it's best to wait til the plant has 8 levels. It was also necessary as the internodes at the bottom were not growing much at all. As soon as we snipped the top, the plant seemed to focus its energy into the internodes which began to grow even more. I also would like to say most of the questions asked in the diary seem super specific and I'm not a specific type of farmer. I come from a long line of farmers who did things very different than today. They still do things the same ole way and I have continued that use of knowledge specifically with this plant. So far not much has gone wrong. By this point the bottom leaves had wilted off on their own. The top fans were still looking healthy and strong though. I've heard it happens sometimes. Trying to focus on the good!
