Day 35: Today I have decided to start LST. I know it's probably not a great idea to start so late in the plants life and even worse as she's now flowering but I want more light to reach the bottom nodes in the hope they'll grow to the same height as the main cola. A few days back my grow tent arrived so she's now living in a 60x60x140 tent. I found it difficult to keep temperatures up for the first few days as I was still getting used to where I needed to put fans for intake and outtake but I seem to have grasped it now. She's adjusted massively to the LST I gave her this morning and is reaching back up towards the light.
Day 38: The soil is extremely dry today and I feel like giving her a bit of extra help so I have added 30 grams of Miracle Grow slow release food pellets to the top of the soil and then watered on top with 3 cups of regular tap water.
Day 40: Starting to see a nice bit of growth from the lower branches of the plant which is what I hoped for after I pinned her down. There are quite a lot of new pistils starting to shoot through which is great to see. She's really starting to form a nice overall shape and the late LST doesn't seem to have done any harm.
Day 41: There seems to have been quite a bit of growth since yesterday, I think it's noticeable in the pictures. I have decided to add more LST just below the top node in the hope the branches forming below will grow to the same height as the rest and hopefully level out the canopy a bit over time.
First time grower, U*K too, started with auto dwarf just over a week ago so following, be sure to add any tips and wisdom if you get the urge - and good luck!
