Check it out, someone is peeking out her little hidey hole 
Meet May, she's still a bit shy

Indoor Hello again, and thanks for all the fish.

Today she moved into her new pot, I don't recall the name of them but I quite like them. Got them from a nursery guy in the us like 8 years back.
They've got openings at each terrace. Inside there are little ridges in the plastic guiding the roots down and towards those holes, you can see the big ones from the outside. Works quite well for a dense root system.
As you can see, by the slight taper in the stem, the cambium is swelling up quite nicely, so she's starting to produce good amounts of energy.
First time using Plagron cocos, curious how it turns out.

May is just trucking along, rooting into her new pot:
I increased the light intensity a little to around 540ish, she seems to be rooting into the rest of the pot quite well, I'll need to overwater a little in the beginning now until things reach an equilibrium.
She's now a little over 2 weeks old and making some mahusive leaves! She's getting a DLI of 40 and still massive. Crazy.. and she's supposed to get to 1.1m tall. This is gonna be fun.
We're now on day 20. She's gotten a little more sturdy
Might do some LST soon, to widen her footprint.

It is now 4 days later and I decided to cut her head off. She's got 16 arms now and is continuing to throw shade on the lower ones quite well, hope she goes into flower soon, I'd love a really big stretch.
She has ridiculously thick branches, one of the most sturdy plants I've grown to date.
26c at 62%rh, dli of 45, light feed 15-25ml canna coco depending on vpd

Our girl is becoming a teenager. She started to get into the flowering mood 2 days ago and is now preparing for the stretch. So I redid the wires on the lowest branches a little further out, removed the 4 big fanleaves from the trunk and tucked a lot of the other fan leaves.
That did make her look a little ragged but she's gonna explode soon. I also increased the feed a little, now constantly giving 25ml of canna coco a/b per 10L. No boosters during stretch, I want to keep the sugar content low/rising slow so she stretches for a while.

Today I've LSTed her a "bit" and also topped her a.. well.. crazy amount. I took off 3 nodes just so I could get the "net" half way down there. I would've loved to take off one more but I already went so far back that I made a straw out of her.
Not super happy with the distribution, the grid is too large. I need to find a better way of scrogging a plant, only tying it to the pot.

She's been living with her harness for a few days and I think she's stable now. I've removed it again and am curious to see if she stays or bounces back up towards the center.
I'm gonna have to give her a little haircut soon and thin out all the undesirable branches down below.
She's a nice and sturdy plant, very robust branches. Not as tall as expected tho
