Royal Dwarf Auto #1

Week 3 of vegetation: growing, noding, branching out, LST and more growing (ever so slowly). So far my adventure is slowly continuing, and I can’t resist looking at my plant every hour or often. Since my set-up if very manual and simple, the constant checking up is sometimes actually required. - because of very cold weather the temps dropped much lower than usual at dark cycle during the day (16-18 C) and even with the lights on in the middle of the night it affected the temperature negatively (only 22 degrees C or even lower). So I added a warm water jug/bottle to the tent (the blue thermos seen in day 15). - also, my plant has finally started to emit a faint noticeable light smell around day 15 and continues getting stronger. Very green smell at first, but getting more distinct already with no flowering in sight, great :) Day 15: 7 cm. Day 16: 8,5 cm and LST - upped the watering amount to 200ml on day 16, still not reaching bottom of pot. Next watering after that was on day 18. - LST on day 16 I’m glad it’s only one plant because I sure took my time doing my first ever LST (30-60mins, but with preparing and reading/watching in to the subject). It was quite challenging since the plant is so short and thick-stemmed, but it did have 3-4 internodes and already leaves and shoots or however you call that armpit growth every where. So much was already covered in shade I figured to just LST carefully and see what happens. Day 17/18: 9 to 10 cm, adjusted some LST wires and 200ml at day 18. - light height Since the plant slowly grew, the distance of the LED to the plant got to be 27 ish cm. Could the short distance maybe stunt the growth? I raised the light to 32 cm on day 18. See day 18 photos with comments. Now halfway at week 3, I’ll update this when the week is over in 3 days. Edit: 3 days later and it grew more and more bushy. On day 21 the smallest sing of flowering was visible.
