any general tips?

hey there Don, she's actually doing okay, the main problem was that excess nutrients in the rich soil gave it a burn quite early as well as the extreme LST that could have given it some sort of shock . Pretty sure she'll muscle through though ! that's because as you can see she has only three pointed leafs , when they start splitting then the stems will stiffen up quite a lot , so the most important thing for you now is make an anchor for the stem with a garden hook or a stake and keep adjusting the top part. Right now with all these shocks she's growing slow, but chances are she'll really start coming into her own soon so get all this work done while you still can. Do this and you'll end up with a successful LST and an 8-ish week veg , no bother flowering might not be affected at all. hope this helps ! 🚀

Tips............ Resist the temptation/"advice" to defoliate, your plant will not need it when growing outdoors. If your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Your plant will grow its fastest and healthiest with all of its leaves left in place, to do their job of making energy for the plant to grow. Try and only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Feed little amounts often, which is better than a lot of food all at once. Half stength every 10 days is better than full strength every 14 days. Treat them with love and respect and they will reward you with lovely flowers. Treat them like bud producing machines and you are missing the point of home cultivation. No plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time. Use this forum to ask questions before you do anything radical, not do something radical then ask "is this ok?" Ask questions if need be as soon as problems appear, don't let it progress to the point of the plant being nearly dead then asking "HELP, my plant is dying!" Most importantly, have fun, it is not a competition, just an exercise in self satisfaction! Just remember - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum growth and maximum health. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hey there.. Looking good so far. I'd wait for the 3rd - 4th node before LST.. Good luck sir!
