Day 16 - Into week 3 and she’s doing great so far and really seems to like the Coast of Maine soil, just so long as I keep it wet. Seems like it’s fairly easy to underwater this girl. Gave her a bit of water today and think I’ll make sure I give her some everyday, unless she tells me otherwise.
Day 17 - Looking pretty good but a little worried right now. I started LST and heard a snap when she was getting bent overs. I’m hoping it didn’t hurt her that bad, this is the first time I’ve snapped the main branch but it isn’t a clean break in half so I’ll see what’s going to happen to her over the next few days.
Day 18 - So far it seems she recovered just fine from the LST and it seems cracking her main stem did it bother her to much. Gonna give her a few days to recover and stretch a bit before continuing LST. Gave her a little bit of water today.
Day 19 - Seems like she recovered fully from the LST but not sure how she’s reacting to me breaking the stalk. Doesn’t look like there was much growth but she’s probably using her energy to heal herself and then hopefully back to real growth. Gave her a full feed of water today and she seemed to like it.
Day 20 - This girl stretched almost an inch overnight so decided to continue LST. She’s been responding nicely to it and seems to be ok since cracking the main stalk. Gonna let her dry up just a bit before watering some more but seems to droop quite a bit if the soil isn’t pretty wet, thinking it’s because of the soil. First time using a living soil and she’s definitely the greenest and healthiest that I’ve grown so far. Seen a couple pistils pop too so really wanna start getting her shaped with the LST.
