Update

Training day was not much due to this pheno setting me up for easy tucking to allow some light down and along the stem. If it could be done without cutting it was easy. All tucks held for 30 minutes but I know ya gotta keep on top as they will grow out and go back to blocking light. A lot of the top mess has changed orientation and will need to turn up. Bent over main stem on both full size plants. Fimm healing up nicely. No real change since topping the dwarf but it looks fine. No changes in color or looks since moving up water schedule and top dressing.

Update.
Plants progressing ok. Had some issues with temp as a very cold snap sent temps in basement to 63 at night and only 67 during the day. Thermoforge unable to keep at 85 so reduced temp to 82 and vdp stayed at 1.1.

Watering has been ramping up also. Thursday lights out I had raised water to 1.1 liters and this only lasted 30 hours. Saturday early went to 1.4 liters per plant and we will see if we get back to 48 hours between watering.
Still looking to get more runner stems before I start steering the smaller stuff. Leaf tucking looking ok with some bigger leafs starting on Dunky. The squat plant has no secondary stems on one side of the plant. It does not look like any were cut off we just have 2 levels on one side never sprouted at level 2 and 4.
Numbers this week 85 then 82 after Friday. Light lux at 22k with lower sites on plant at 14-12k. Ph still 6.3. duct fan setting 3 and according to Vivosun garden glimpse I moved 17k cubic feet through the tent. IPM walkthrough found nothing. Today will be a zero point day. Time to zero all temp and humidity sensors and calibrate pH and ec meters.

Trained a bit with leaf tucking on Dunky and the dwarf. The squat bush I was able to turn 3 branches in the correct direction but leaf tucking on that damn fimm mess is going to have to wait. Just a clump of vegtable matter with 6 nodes about covered. Still growing under neath with no problems but it may take a week to move out from under the mess.
Dunky is growing fine but the node spacing on the branches is right where my training fixture would land and it would smash 3 nodes. I will totally pinch a future fan leaf against a branch but I am not going to reduce node count.

This AM lung room was 2.1 vdp. I raised the whole house up 2 degrees and brought it to 1.5. I really do not know if 10 minutes at 2.5 will stun a plant but meh, heat already back down to 72
Water at 1.6 liters per. The dwarf plant I did fill in some edges due to a pull away from lack of water last week. Water still lasts about 36 hours when I do it at 10pm 2 hours from lights out and about 30 hours when I water in the am.
I prolly should go up to 48 hours 2 hours before bedtime but this is working ok for me I am hesitant to try. Biggest reason is power outage. I do have a backup plan but the circuit from my Ford gives me 10 amps or about 1200 watts. This allows me to put it in reduced mode 74 degrees 1.o vdp but lights on full and all fans running. I think If I had 3 days of water at 82 vdp 1.1 and I had to do minimums I think she would be over watered at that point.
