Plant took very well to transplant and thrived in the new pot. Dichotomous earth was place on the top soil on 5/26/20 and a sticky trap was placed as well. I do not believe that there was any actual bug issue. I am just super sensitive to fungus gnats after having that issue on a couple grows and I THOUGHT I saw what looked to be a gnat sized bug. The sticky trap has caught two bugs and while they potentially could have been fungus gnats, I certainly would have expected to catch more. Or perhaps I just got at it early enough to prevent the real issue. Unfortunately, the soil should not be in a state that it should be attracting fungus gnats anyhow. I just was not entirely sure how wet the initial transplant soil ended up being and I would rather be safe than sorry. That initial moisture however was enough to carry me from 5/24 to 5/31 without watering. Watered with plain distilled water pH'd to 6.5 on 5/31/20. Because it was the first time running any water through the pot fully, it took about .4 -.5 gallons before I actually started seeing runoff. Plant looked as if she had to much by the end as seen in the last pics. Week 5 will introduce an inoculation tea and will be my first time using AACT's so I hope I do not mess it up! She was topped on 5/28/20 at the 5th node. I certainly intended to give her more time to recover from transplant but I guess my clippers got itchy and just had to give it a go 4 days post transplant. No noticeable stress from either the transplant nor the topping so soon. LST hooks introduced on 5/31/20 which may have also affected her appearance post watering. She is about 1.5" tall so I have not introduced the LST ring yet but will soon.
