14 days from being put into soil.

Seems to still be alive. Getting roughly 50ml of water per day now. There is never run off.

I’ve been reading a lot about beginners overwatering their new plants so caught the fear.

I’ve been reading a lot about beginners over-watering their new plants so caught the fear.

Talking of christening, what is her name?

 

[SweatyBetty69]

Following my standard naming methodology this plant is Number One.

 

[SweatyBetty69]

Is this the long awaited 3rd internode ? Is now the time for some FIMing?

 

[SweatyBetty69]

Topped - was going for a FIM but....

 

[SweatyBetty69]

Seems to already been over it.

 

[SweatyBetty69]

It’s still alive.

Watering about 50-75 ml water per day or every other day depending how light the pot is. There is never any run off.

Rotating the plant every few hours. Early signs of heat burn hopefully rectified. Further fan reduces bin temp to 23c.

I’ll wait for those branches to extend further away from the main stem before attempting to flatten them down with pipe cleaners.

Some downwards drooping and slight yellowing seen today. Watering when the pot is light around 50 ml of tap water. Low chlorine because of where I am.

Ease back on the water? Thought I’d ask your advice early on.

Side point - look how squat and symmetrical looking it is. Nature is so pretty.

Today’s update.

 

[SweatyBetty69]

How’s it looking?

 

[Mark Gordan Smith]

How’s it looking?

Exactly like I'd like mine to look.
She got the look!

 

[SweatyBetty69]

32 days in.

Bottom leaves have turned yellow and withered up. Any ideas?

Growing in super soil.

 

[SweatyBetty69]

Yellowing leaves starting from the bottom up. I think it’s moisture stress. I’ve water until run off and won’t Water again for a few more days or until he pot is feather light again.

 

[SweatyBetty69]

LST commences.

The yellowing leaves might be moisture and heat stress.

Watered yesterday until run off and won’t water again for a day or two or maybe 3 and see what happens.

Changed light schedule from 24/24 to 20/24 to try to reduce temps even for a short period every day.
