Northern Light, the First

Things are getting interesting in our garden. 😁 When everything seemed to be going smoothly and maybe even boring, every single plant offered me some situation that I had to solve. 👊 This lady stayed smaller at the beginning, and I was wondering if it wasn't too late to get some benefits from LST because the time was passing and I was afraid the flowering signs might soon appear. So, she reacted well to the first bending and took her time to send out some branches from the bottom, but I can definitely say that during this week she has shown me what she can do 💪😎 It might be more visible if compared to the pics in Week 5, where it was clear that there was no brench still developed enough from the bottom, but I'm pleased with the result so far. The pics of Day 42 show how the right side of the fp has got its space more filled, and there's space to continue 😊 During this process, though, I had some accident with the top of the central stem, which got damaged by strong wind. This is an issue I previously had on my Cheese and I thought I was conscious of what and why that happened, but I wasn't really, until I saw this one. The problem was not with the thickness of the tie I used or how I secured it, but with the position of it and...a little toooo much pressure When I firstly secured the stem, everything looks and felt just fine, but the more I bent the new branches, the more I needed to make space around them, so following some kind of sense of simmetry, I bent more the central stem, just little by little, and here is the mistake. I guess I should have bent only ONE point of the main stem in the bottom and then keep bending going from that point upwards. In the way I did, I stressed a lot that part of the branch which started to get harder and slightly cutted under the tension of the twisty tie...to finally got damaged! I will update with the current situation on the next report. Until then, PLEASE LET ME KNOW any advice, tips or mistake you might notice and comment here below :) Enjoy your growing and good lock to all of you 🙏
