It looks good. You can always tie the fan leaves down too and just poke a couple holes in the fabric pot for anchors. And just don't forget to be gentle

Seems like you got the idea, if anything from what I’ve read the plant could’ve grown another node or two before doing it.

Trim "armpit" branches?
Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.

Is this feminized plant a male?
1 of my 4 feminized plants appears to be growing pollen sacks. Most of the nodes have strange growths and pods on the plant, but a few of them look like normal female flowers. Should I rip this plant out now? Or can I just cut off the branches with pods?

When do you start counting 'day 1'?
My methodology of germinating is soaking the seed for 18-24 hours, (skipped paper towel this time) and putting the seed into the substrate. I start counting day 1 from this moment. My plants seem small comparatively to others at the same stage. When do you start counting day 1?

Umgeknickter zweiter Haupt Cola
Hallo Mir ist ein Missgeschick passiert und die Lampe ist abgestürzt. Es ist nur einer Dame was passiert. Kann ich die (2 Wochen vor der Ernte) so stehen lassen oder sollte ich den 2. Cola kappen um dem 1. die Energie zu geben? Der 2 ist gebrochen hängt aber noch dran.
