Hi! She have not shown any signs of stress after the topping 
I'm trying to figure out how to do the best LST on this girl. But the fan leaves are so massive on her! Any suggestions? Bend the main stem in one direction carefully?
Cheers!

I would be concerned that the light is still too close to the plant. Note the red arrows in the photo. See they are curled up? Note the yellow arrow of a leaf in shade. Its not curled up.
I'm not 100% sure of this, but I suspect it. The second clue is the inter-nodal space is still very tight.
Just my 3 cents.

That's going to be up to you! There are many ways to LST, and everyone develops their own technique. I like to tie the branches down with string to the edges of the pot. I either drill or poke (in the case of fabric pot poke) a hole into the outside of the pot, and run a string or a wire thru the hole, and gently pull the desired branch down. Here is topped, then 2 different ways to LST. There are tons of others.
Hope that helps the LST question!

Hm yeah now when you are mentioning it it looks a bit wierd, I will pull the lights up a bit more when I get home to see if it corrects it.I would be concerned that the light is still too close to the plant.

It probably wont correct it. But it will stop it. I think you will find those leaves are permanently damaged. New leaves should not form like this. The is your goal.

Okay hope it helps, thank you mate.
I went home immediately and raised the lights about 10cm. I'm thinking I will raise them a bit more just to be safe.

There is a sweet spot to find. Raise it a little at a time. Once you find it, keep raising the light as the plant grows.
Cheers

Hello! 3,5 weeks old now. I have some problems on the bottom leaves and I cant figure out if it's a nute burn or nitrogen defiency? I flushed her with plain phed water today just in case of nute burn.
Cheers!

Bottom leaves will do that. Pluck them outta there. You don't have a problem.

Okay cool, I started with nutes this Friday, so I thought it was nute burn or something because the yellowing started right after. But I will follow your advise and pluck them. Also continue with nutes.
Cheers mate!

Sounds great man! It's perfect to be able to actually lock the fridge and looks super stealthy. (When the fan is off haha.) Fan sound is quite loud on this one when attached to the carbon filter.
Best of luck to you!

Hello guys! I was thinking. I got some spare glass shelves that came with fridge. If I put one between the plant and the light, will it work almost like a cooltube? Because then I can lower the light more without having heat issues. Cheers!
