i49 Lowryder Auto: The 1st Grow

(8/11) Had major drama w/ Furiosa this week; dropped an empty box of Vita Coco on her like a clown and bent 2 stems. Used Scotch tape to mend them and one branch has continued growing virtually without interruption and the other is slowly but surely growing back to life! Furiosa had a growth spurt this week (hopefully the last!) and has topped out very close to the LED light. Max had a similar spurt previously, but was not nearly as tall as Furiosa grew; fingers crossed that she's done w/ the vertical growth and will now focus on bud development. I defoliated Furiosa, trimmed the leaves on the bottom branches that aren't receiving much light and will most likely not be major bud sites. Debating on pruning those lower branches entirely, but am adopting a less is more strategy in regard to cutting things and stressing the plant.
