Somango & Critical Mass CBD (3rd Grow)

- Low Stress Training begins at the start of the week. Simply bending the main stem over. - These early attempts at LST were flawed and did not work well. Mainly due to lack of experience on my part, but specifically: 1. I tried to use things I had laying around that were not fit for the job. I used string with 2 pieces of electrical tape back-to-back to create a loop, which in theory would stop the string from cutting into the stem by increasing the contact patch. In reality this was incredibly fiddly to adjust and the loop would slip up and down the stem. 2. I used the edge of the fabric pots as anchor points for the string. This was fine until the plants were put back in their tent. Due to the tight space often the pots would change shape slightly, in turn moving the anchor points and changing the tension on the string. Temporary solution was to adjust the strings while the plants were in the tent, but it never worked well. - Another first for me, topped both plants after 5-6 nodes. No problems here. - Worth noting that poor watering habits began to show. Simply not giving them enough for fear of over watering. I eventually became familiar with the symptoms of under-watering and fixed it.
