First grow

Just cruising this week. Started off with LST on Candy Kush on Day 24. The upper fan leaves pulled up after topping at the end of last week, so I tied them down to allow more light to the topped node. This has been a very bushy and dense plant so far. Because of this, it has been difficult to get wires in to tie down the new branches, so I continually tucked the upper leaves to keep the lowest growth coming up. This worked out very well for me. Aside from tying down the two fan leaves, I got the canopy almost level in four days with tucking alone. The top node was finally tied down today. I found a possible branch buried under the canopy, so I threw one of the patches provided by my tent manufaturer under the canopy at an angle to reflect some light on that branch and see if I can get it to grow out from under there. Speedy Chile has a lot more space on the inside. I waited a bit longer to start LST on it, but I was finally able to tie down 6 branches to get them growing out into a star shape. It's growing very steadily with a nice amount of room between nodes on both the stem and the branches. Both of the plants are starting to build their knuckles as well to keep gaining strength. I'm feeling very good about the grow so far. Just going to keep them growing until they get to be 20cm or they go well beyond the 7L pots, then flip. Should be in a week or a week and a half.
