Week 1 - only watered when needed. Nothing else added.
Grown by a windowsill to allow first initial growth to survive. Hoping it's a girl!
(Picture might be a few days into the first week of veg)
Soil - Biobizz All Mix only
- Watered only when soil dry
-Tried transplanting into final pot but was advised against. I continued the growth in a slightly bigger pot in the end until she grows a bit more.
Moved her into her final pot although this isn't recommended for photoperiodic plants. My choice to transfer her to her final pot was just due to convenience.
Towards the end of the week, I decided to FIM her as the timing was right.
Thinking of LST as soon as new growths start to show.
The weather has been cold and gloomy this whole week. Left her to chill inside the greenhouse while it rained and temperatures dipped again.
Decided to LST since I was bored and had nothing to do. Used whatever tools I had to hold her down but will for sure upgrade once I can get my hand on some tools.
New growth has spurted out the top from where I FIMed. Looking forward to the result.
She's been growing well. I started giving her some extra nutes but I figured I'd start off slowly.
Few days later I noticed some aphids infesting one other plant in the garden. Tried removing all the aphids and larvae.
The next day I noticed my leaves had spots all around, turns out we have aphids again.
Called my friend for some neem oil, removed the bugs that I could see, applied it. Now waiting to see if it's enough of a barrier.
I see you used a metal/plastic band to tie her down.. There’s a chance that it will cut her stem. It’s better to use a something soft.
Looks like a healthy plant! I love LST!
@CoastGrower, thank you for your reply! I've read about plastic bands not being the best for holding down plants but for now this is all I have in hand...
I'll for sure try and finding something else to tie her down with or at least keep a close eye in the beginning.
