I have been readjusting the LST pegs and wire daily. Sometimes, twice a day! (I know, too much time on my hands)! 😆
The plants have responded fantastically! I'm so glad I gave it a go. Some plants have been a bit too tall, and I snapped Do-sì-dos P3, pulling the stem down. Audibly snapped 😬I let it be, though. It seems to have healed mostly, in only 2 days.
I have increased the lighting to 70%. They're getting watered a few times a week, with 1 litre of Dechlorinated water, containing the following nutrients and additives;
1ml of Biobizz Bio-Grow,
1ml Biobizz Top Max,
1ml of Biobizz Bloom,
2ml of cal-mag,
1g of Ecothrive Biosys.
The plants are responding well to this concoction, so it's all good so far. The leaves are looking greener and are getting darker.
Will be monitoring to continue readjusting the LST ties. Also, to monitor the increased lighting level, to make sure they can handle that yet.

Happy New Year!
I have continued to readjust the LST wire and plant pegs. Several times a day.
Coincidence would have it, I have a 6ft tropical aquarium which was time for cleaning! I always water my Acer tree in the front yard with this water, with beautiful results 😍 👌 🍁 I decided to try it out in my indoor garden. I'll post photos of before and after to see the difference, good or bad 😅
3.1.25:
Plants are doing very well, except for PPP3 I'm quite disappointed in that one, as I feel like it's wasting a space. I guess I'll have to keep it, along with the Do-sì-dos that I snapped twice, which refuses to die 😅
I started to lightly defoliate, which is difficult because I always get carried away with it.
I'm going to water again with the nutrients in description of this week.
4.1.25:
Continuing to defoliate and adjust the LST pegs and wire.
Watered today with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. With the following nutrients;-
2ml Biobizz Bloom,
4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow,
2ml Cal-Mag,
2ml Ecothrive Flourish,
0.2 g/ltr of Ecothrive Biosys.
I've increased the Nitrogen by adding double the amount of Biobizz Bio-Grow. I'm trying to keep them growing for as long as possible! I really want to keep the strength up and keep the leaves nice and lush green! 💚
Will update here with more photos and videos.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
