On the first tie down I went towards the edge of the pot then on the second tie down I bent it around the edge of the planter so I can continue tying around the edge of the pot in a cirle kinda. I plan on also tying down the "new colas" as well once they grow enough.

She is 3 almost four weeks old and right now she has got 4 colas it looks like but am still going to be doing "lst" during flowering stage too I believe. Here's what she looks like now.

she is lookin good, and lst during flowering should be done in the 1st 2 weeks of flower when they stretch the most and it should not be extreme lst just be gentle stressing plants in flower is much worse then in veg.
and i just noticed that the planter is not full with dirt and the plant kind sits down under the rim of the pot, it is not a huge mistake but next time try to fill the planter full with it low like that it makes it a hole lot darker for the underneath of the plant

that amount of tying down is fine but it is harder to lst in flower with out snapping the branches cuz they get more woody. just be gentle and they will be fine

ya every one hates on MG but it is a good choice of soil if low on money and money for nutes, and just water less frequently to avoid the soil being to moist

I wait til about the top 3" of the soil is dry then water, it had been 5 or 6 days but they weren't showing any signs of distress so I figure everything is going good so far.

Beautiful little plant! I can honestly say i have used mg with that 3 month release once and my plant grew fine with it outdoors.... Kind of a harsh smoke but it could have been that i pretty much just watered it.... No nutes or anything...

if it was harsh it was most likely to much nutes in it, or not cured and dried right, or could just be the strain. no nutes wont make it harsh
