I'll give it a go ☺️

Don't want to go and kill her after all that LOL 🤣

Hey GJ77 she's lookin up much better 👍 have you checked out the tutorial for new growers https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics on the GWE main site it has a step by step on what I'm about to suggest. I would top it and then trim up the bottom a little this will focus the growth on those middle branches you are talking about being in the shade. Good job saving her she wasn't lookin to good lol check out the link it's full of goodies.... good luck

Ok, so this is what my first plant looks like now after all the problems I had at the start.

Question. Do you think it's wise to lop off the top 4 fan leaves now or leave well alone? I understand they are like solar panels for the plant, but the guys underneath are being blocked out.

Suggestions welcome ☺️

good job mate condensation u had humifier on to long seems like u sorted it though

*UPDATE*

So, the lower leaves started dying on me the other day and I took the drastic action of lopping them off.
The good news is the main stem, new leaves and the little leaves hiding along the stem have all shown signs of significant growth and look good. I set a marker pole (a stick and cable tie) so I can gauge its growth and the plant has touched the marker point 3 times already with each marker set at approximately an inch above the plant canopy! The soil is firm but moist, the pot isn't sitting in water and I've re-located the fan near a vent hole to allow it to drag in clean air and the tent isn't anywhere near as wet and covered in condensation as before. So I think I'm on the right track again ☺️🍻

Humidity is too high the walls of your tent are dripping. Also the reason your not having to water very often.

[growell]

Turn the humidifier off mate that will help if soil is wet u hardly watering how long it on for

Okie dokie carry on then just thought i'd mention it.

[GJ77]

I don't let it sit. The photo is very deceiving ☺️ I had just watered her yesterday and didn't put her back on her raiser so you can see she is sitting in a pool. Sorry for the confusion.

[SoOrbudgal]

Do not allow it to sit in water runoff it's too young for wicking sucking up old nute water is not good. Elevate the pot keep it from sitting in water

[GJ77]

Also, those photos were from yesterday. I have now noticed the lower leaves turning yellow so I've taken the drastic action of re-potting into a dry mix with a humidifier on. The pot was extremely heavy and when I turned her over for transplantation the soils was drenched to hell! Hopefully now she'll be comfortable in her new home and I'll watch the watering from now on!

The roots looked good at least. White with no browning going on. So that hopefully is a good sign that I cought it before the point of no return! 🤞

[GJ77]

It's funny you should mention that. There's one being delivered today! I'll go and check the RH immediately when it arrives 😉

[MeEasy]

I don't think you need to transplant it just let it dry out enough that you can stick your finger in the top inch or so and it's dry. Do you have a hygrometer? What's your RH?

[GJ77]

Thanks for the welcome 😉

I honestly haven't been watering it that much at all. However, do have a 6 hour humidifier in there...could that be the problem maybe? Also the soil is full of pearlite.

Should I just transplant into dry soil and let the plant recover for a day or two?
