i49 Lowryder Auto: The 1st Grow

(7/14) Started low-stress training late in to Week 4; should have begun in Week 3. However, both plants have responded well. The secondary bud sites have grown considerably in the short time I used LST. Height of plants slightly lower due to the training. Furiosa's stem became top-heavy and fell over during watering; repacked the soil around her and used LST to provide light to the stem to strengthen it. This is most likely due to not beginning LST sooner, so the stem remained weak as the top of the plant continued to grow and add weight to the bottom. Max is chugging along well and really took to the training. It feels as though a 2 gal. pot is too big for these plants as the surrounding soil doesn't pack in enough to support the plant as it grows. Next time I'll be going down to 1 gal. to see if this improves growth and adds stability. Nutrients play a much larger role than I'd previously thought. Unfortunately, current budget does not allow for purchase of the full spectrum required.
