DIY Cheap Noob Indoor Amnesia Haze grow

Environment I moved her to the DIY grow tent. The humidity hovers round 45-50%. I haven't added a ceiling yet, so there's plenty of ventilation. At the end of the week I added a CPU fan to help circulate the air inside the growtent, besides preventing mold, soft wind also strengthens the stem. I will add the ceiling when we get closer to flowering, when darkness is critical at night. Temps are 20 C at night and 27 at day. Light I used a dollar store automatic timer to set a light schedule of 18 hrs ON/6 OFF cycle. The LED fixture is at a distance of 45 cm from the top of the plant. Water I will up the nutrients to 1 mS/cm. However, I will alternate between using 6.5 pH unchlorinated tap water (no nutrients) and using 6.5 pH unchlorinated nutrient solution (tap water + 15-15-15 balanced nutrients at EC = 1 mS/cm) to avoid salt build ups in the soil. Remember water only when the soil feels at least a little dry, it's easier to overwater than it is to underwater. ************************ Ok, so pretty much repeat this week to keep the plant happy until harvest, just in flowering you would change the light cycle to 12/12 and the nutrient ratio to 15-30-15 or something like that. Summarizing: 1. the environment : keep humidity 40-60% and temperature 18-30 *C. 2. the light : keep rising the lights as your plant grows, and change the cycle to flower. 3. the nutrients : look for deficiencies and add more nutes ( I recommend from 1mS/cm to 2.5 mS/cm max and Ca +Mg); or toxicities to flush the soil. ************************ <TRANSPLANT> So, you could technically flower and harvest in the 2L pot, however as the plant grows faster and faster it will drink more and more water, and you would need to water evermore often. By repotting to a bigger size, you can water less often with more liquid. Also, the more space your roots have to grow the bigger the final plant (and yield will be). You might ask why not start in the big pot (in my case 15 L)? The answer is that is really easy to a overwater a seedling in a big pot. As this tutorial is for first timer growers on the cheap, it's better to prevent the death of a seedling than having to buy more seeds (in my case the seeds where as expensive as the whole setup). <TRAINING> From now on, I will do some extra stuff. If you want the least demanding growing experience,you don't have to follow the rest of the instructions, But if you have some extra minutes every week, I think the increase in yield that training your plant brings is worth it for most cases. This week I will do whats called topping. Which is just cutting the main growing tip after your plant has grown 4-5 nodes. The hormones (auxins) that where causing growth to happen in the main stem, will disperse to other branches, allowing them to grow bigger. In this way, you will have less of a Christmas tree shape, and more of a bushy canopy, so your grow light can reach better the majority of the plant. There are many different growing techniques but topping and low stress training (LST) are my favorites because they only take some minutes each week to shape the plant, so I will demonstrate them in this grow. 01/07/2020. I cutted the growing tip before the 6th, but after the 5th node. Be careful not to damage the side branches growing on each fan leaf of the 5th node, those branches and the ones below will be the main structure of the new canopy.
