All feedback appreciated?............. A bit young for LST, wait until the branches grow more, or after about the fifth/sixth node has grown. Pity you didn't fill the pot right up, there would have been more room for root growth (more roots = bigger plant) and your plant would have got more reflected light had it been higher up, rather than below the side walls of the pot which will block most of the reflected light, limiting growth. A young plant that small should be ok for 4-5 days if given a good soak before leaving, otherwise a simple wicking system with some cotton rope and a bottle of water will look after your seedling. Also way too much perlite, you only need approx 3-5%, probably less if using large amounts of coco coir, its is only needed for aeration and drainage, something coco coir has in abundance. Perlite has no nutritional value, so the less perlite, the more soil and more goodness your plant gets. Also, also, 24/0 is bad for plants, 18/6 is optimal, cannabis NEEDS a dark period every 24 hours to complete its photosynthetic cycle and to have a correctly functioning metabolism. 24/0 could only be recommended by someone who does not understand photosynthesis or how plants function, or maybe neither principle. Everything on Planet Earth is designed to have a routine of activity followed by sleep, it is called a "circadian rhythm". Without one, things go wrong quickly. 18/6 was derived at through 80+ years of research into cannabis and is not a random number. Besides, cannabis can only grow so much during any one 24 hour period and this growth tops out around the 18 hour mark, meaning running your lights any longer than 18 hours is basically a waste of expensive electricity. For prime health, give your plants the sleep they NEED and they will be much more well balanced and happy. Hope this helps, Organoman.

@Organoman . Love your feedback👨‍🌾🏻 I totally realised my mistake recently and bought the timer for the light . It just came today and I installed 18/6 schedule for final sake ( I was convinced myself that auto can work with full light and not purchase one omg..) Should i mix more coco medium to fill up the bucket more ? I can fix it today before i go haha.

Find a trustfull friend and in future do trainings when you have more time, you need to watch girls after heavy bends like this. Your small leave tucking, branch exposing during training could pay off a lot and you plan to go away during that crucial time ... All the best !

@sadsadasdasdasdasd how long are you going away for? if it is only for a day or two perhaps a good drink will hold her thru until your return any longer you run the risk of it getting too dry and perhaps dying on you I would at least sit it in a shallow dish filled with water but you should also do some quick research on how people keep plants hydrated for extended times Anyway your LST is looking good and I hope you can get it thru 👍

That's a good start. Not a lot you can do right now as the plants so small. Later when it grows bigger you will be able to fold down the side shoots as well as the main centre growth. Good Luck and Happy Growing!
