**Plant 1**
Quite a few prominent colas showing right now, so to keep them developing, I tied down the main branches AND some of the newly pronounced colas as well. All of the colas seem pretty even right now on this plant, so I can drop the LEDs lower. This is the topped plant and the main branches average ~13.5inches to the main stem. I haven't removed any leaves-- I am saving DEFOLIATION for my Grow2.5 diary that just started up.
**Plant 2**
Almost perfectly straight from the LST as a seedling. 17 inches in height. The main cola looks pretty long already + 4 lower branch colas. Removed small bud sides from the lowest 2 branches but otherwise I am going to leave this one alone.
NOTES:
-- Both plants' leaves start drooping near 6hour dark period time, and are nice and perky until lights out again.
-- ~2L of water daily [nutes in one feeding, once a week]
-- I could easily double-tier my closet grow if this method [at 5th node--top to 2nd] works, and have 2-3 plants on both tiers. Or at least have a little storage in the closet for grow related items.
-- Generally, the room still smells like chlorophyll but if you get close to the bud sites the slight smell of weed is there. Humidity levels have been sitting at 36% in the closet, so I'm going to tinker with that.
-- Overall, good growth this week. I'm really happy with how this run is going so far, even with the accidental topping
Cheers!👍
@short21, There are a lot of good uses for Epsom salts in the garden, those are just a few ways to use them. I have really hard water so my plants can benefit from using Epsom salts periodically. This is also my second run in the same soil. But thanks! 😀
