Bella The First

(12/17) Week 5: She has not had a recurrence of gnats. That is good news! I have continued to do gently LST and will be bending her when I have more upward stretch. Her stem is thick and she is squat. I believe this is do to giving light off to the sides which cause bushing. I did this in hope to get more bud sites. It does appear to have worked. I torn on leaf attempting to pull her over for LST. I will leave it for another couple of days before staking her. She looks green with a couple of spots. I watered and the water left a burn. I have not done that again. She has a slight peppery smell when handling the leaves. It is nice and herby. That's it for today. The holidays are upon us and I am busy! I will update each week but not daily; hopefully every other.
