First real grow. Heres the plant. Its approx 2 weeks old. Should I start bringing the top level slowly or give it a few days? If you check my log it’s growing pretty rapidly and seems quite healthy.

I would wait another week or so. I’ve always wanted to wait until I could leave a good inch or so of main stem above the 4th node so that a nice knuckle develops where I’ve topped.

She has been trained since 3 weeks old, she is 6 weeks now

I start training mine when they are about that size.
I have a question. What size pot are you using and why is it only half full?

I was going to mention the same if no one else did.

Good catch. I would fold down the extra fabric so the plant isn’t restricted on training and can extend beyond the pot once bigger

That was me being dumb lol. I’m trying to build a little more up around it. Not sure why I under filled. They are 3 gallon. My other ones are filled much higher. Moving up to 5 or 7 gallon next time too.
I will start slowly bending it tonight or tomorrow and increase a little at a time. My first grow so learning a lot. Def wont be a huge plant due to my error but I’ve got plenty of seeds!

I’ll fold down and clamp the pot so it’s got room to lst as well.

I thought you were talking about topping. It may not be too early to start other forms of LST.

I was just wondering because now your growing in essentially a 1.5 gallon pot.
Its def more than half but ya essentially. I’ve got other plants started as well filled to appropriate amount. Live and learn!
And no one gives us Recon guys any love.

I’m down for anything informative. I tend to dive in and obsess on my hobbies so I’ve been studying tons to prep and still made simple mistakes like not filling the pot all the way lol.
Going to start the slow lst today. Looking for something to tie down with so I dont have to leave the house lol. What works good that might be around a home?
