Pineapple Express

She's got a lovely sweet smell to her now. Used a pipe cleaner on Day 16 to secure the base of the stem in preparation for LST. I think she needs another couple of days growth before I feel confident enough to start bending her down. The soil was very dry throughout and some of the leaves looked a little less perky than the previous day so Day 17 kicked off with a good watering with 500ml of RO water with 3m/l of root stimulant. By the end of the day she was looking strong so I started encouraging her top down with some LST with the yellow pipe cleaner attached just below the 3rd node. I won't go too hard on her to begin with, just enough to let a bit of light to the new growth. Tightened the pipe cleaner a bit on Day 18 to pull the top of the plant down. Kept training the top down, which she's responding to really well. Her soil has dried out in super-quick time so she's obviously thirsty - i gave her 330ml of RO water with root stimulant evenly distributed across the entire soil surface. Really happy with progress this week. We've got new growth developing well in the lower nodes and my LST is holding up well.
