Day 8. Soil still moist...I think we'll let it ride today.
Day 9. Light watering today. Tomorrow, first vermiculture tea.
Day 10. As this is my first grow in 20 years, I keep second guessing myself and thinking I don't know wtf I'm doing. Tangie reassures me. She gives me a warm hug every day and says, "Thanks for the love. You're doing well."Thanks Tangie.

So, she enjoyed her LST. Those bottom nodes are showing growth after only 24 hours. :)
I'm pretty stoked about bokashi. I ordered a couple of buckets that would come in a few days. Looking forward to making organic teas. Also on that note, I ordered a worm composter. So I should be getting some good castings in a few months too.
@Avital, I don't think you could hurt then with this technique unless you're brutal or leave it in too long. But mine grew so much despite the ponytail that it would've come out anyway after 1.5 days.
It's really low stress. Try it out! :)
@Avital, thanks for checking out my diary and asking!
Ponytailing is a *very* temporary technique. There's more about it on AFN, but basically the idea is to tie the top couple of fans *and* apical meristem which in turn exposes the lower nodes.
You can't really leave the ponytail in tho...because the top growth will force it's way out of the tie *or* you'll wind up inadvertently topping. Don't get scared of it tho. It really is less stress than bending and tying down. You just have to re-tie it daily until your satisfied with the under-nodes' growth.
Pruning fans would have a similar effect (exposure downstairs), but I'm not ready to prune.
@Fast_Buds, happy to oblige! The first Gorilla Glue was a complete dud, but the second took. Fingers crossed that it looks as nice as the Tangie'matic!
