Day 27
New fan installed
Before changing LST position
And after
Day 28
Before changing LST position and watering (she's starting to get thirsty more often). Used different camera for these shots (previous were taken by phone and these with compact camera)
And after
Close-up tests
Opinions requested
1: Shall I continue to use my compact camera for the main pics or switch back to phone?
2: Should I consider topping, and if so, when?

With thanks to various threads here, I realised that due to the height of the Bucket, I needed to top her.
I will post pictures from both cameras for now. Please let me know which look better, and I will then only post pictures from it.
Cam A = Phone camera
Cam B = Compact camera
Day 29

Day 31
Wow. Can't believe the change after only 2 days since topping. I'm considering making this the last change of LST position for the central stem, and switching to LST of the new branches.

I look forward to hearing your opinions on which camera is best, and any advice on anything else is greatly appreciated.

Cam b for sure, she's looking well mate,
Keeper-lit
I Deffs want to try something like this now lol,
This sites a bad influence haha
Day 32
Before release of LST on the central stalk and starting LST on the side branches - Cam A
Cam B
And after - Cam A
Cam B
I also attempted tucking some fan leaves for the sites that I cannot tie yet.
Day 33
The tucked fan leaves managed to untuck themselves. However, she is tall enough now for the side lighting, so I have turned it on for 12 hours per day.
The lighting schedule is now:
6am to 9am (3 hours) - Top light only
9am to 9pm (12 hours) - Top and side lights
9pm to 12 am (3 hours) - Top light only
Cam A
Cam B
Day 34
Cam A
Cam B
Tomorrow she will be getting her delayed 2nd BioTab and special watering (500ml filtered water with 20ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex). Hopefully I remember where I put the 1st BioTab, so I can ensure correct placement of the 2nd one. Next grow, I will make a note of its placement as my memory is f<BLEEP>ked.

Day 35
The battle between cameras is over. Cam A (phone) hates the side lighting and strobes like crazy, and refuses to use the flash (despite being set to always flash), so Cam B it is.
Before adding 2nd BioTab and special watering
Adding 2nd BioTab
Special watering
And back in her home (those side lights make her look funky)
Final shot of the day (with top light back on)

Day 38
She's getting quite tall....
The spotting is gradually getting worse
Day 39
She's almost touching the top light, and I can't raise it. Looks like the spotting is light burn. Also, due to the heatwave we have at the moment, the side lights are causing temperatures inside the bucket to get a bit uncontrollable.
Solutions : Side lights turned off and 50x50x100cm grow tent (way taller than the bucket) ordered.
Whilst awaiting the grow tent and SCROG net, I'm going to pull those top cola sites away from the light
Day 40
SCROG net and the grow tent is due today (2 stops away as I write this), and not a moment too soon.

Day 40 part 2
Grow tent assembled and plant in place.
Light is about 40 cm/15in from the canopy. It is a bit squint due to the cables being too long, and having to wind them round a pole.
Will get some ratchet type ropes soon.
Also going to get a mini tower fan as the RAM clip on fan turned out to be a load of rubbish. RAM claimed it had 2 speeds, but both speeds were the same (tested with an Anemometer) and very loud.
I tried to hang the Carbon filter inside (so I could make use of the pre-filter cover) but it just interfered with the light.
Day 41
Moved some branches about the Scrog net and gave a good watering.
Day 42
Took photos a little later than usual as I was out back smoking a joint..... of Bacon. I really do love curing and smoking my own Bacon.
Tomorrow I will be slicing it all, and baking fresh Glasgow Crispy Morning Rolls.... <activate Glasgow accent> Mmmmmm Glesga crispy mornin roll wi Maple Espresso cured Bacon.
Back on topic... Moved another few branches
