Hey, buddy! π
Are you all set for LST? You're already training it properly, and it's ready to keep exercising! For good results, you should pay attention to the lighting of all parts of the plant and the new internodes of the lower branches that have already grown and are still growing! π
Focus on those lower branches; that's what you need! Check out my diary Candy (5 weeks of growth) and see how I stretched the lower branches; it's a very visual guide for your case! π
Train the branches towards the opposite ends of the pot so that all branches and their young internodes receive quality lighting! π
You can measure the light intensity (lux) in the cultivation area above the plant!
Install a free app called "luxmeter" from the app store on your smartphone, clean your phone's screen well, removing grease and dirt. The light sensor is located on the screen part, which often competes with individual lux meters. Check the light intensity above the plant. Adjust the lamp height so it doesn't heat the plant to shock levels but stays within the lux range. Install the app, and you'll be thinking of me more than once, bro! It will be like a compass for your lighting! π
Effective lighting ranges, starting from planting the plant:
Day 1 (250-500 lux)
Day 2 (500-1000 lux)
Day 3 (1000-2000 lux)
After five pairs of leaves, full vegetation (2000-20000 lux)
Flowering (20000-100000 lux). Try not to exceed 99000 lux. Otherwise - problems! π
Good luck, buddy! βπ
