A little but she seems to be none the worse for it.

Creme de la chem won't require a net. She's naturally stout and difficult to lst as you have found out. Great evening smoke to though. She was a parent of Braapzai. Tight hugs so have your humidity low late flower.

Are those pictures of the same plant? I personally would not do anything more to it until she is far inot flower and maybe take a leaf off where it's blocking light.
80F, vpd ~1, humidity 70%. Day 20 since sprout of 1st plant, day 8 of 2nd
I untied it. Was kind of worried about the leaves touching the soil.
Excerpt from description page - "She definitely benefits hugely from some leaf tucking/manipulation in order to get those lower branches up from under the canopy but once you do, the many secondary branches form a platform equal in height, with just the main cola poking out above​... density is well well up there, it can certainly pay dividends to clear out some lower growth and lower branch nodes".
So the last sentence is about defoliating? Should I try leaf tucking, and maybe some defoliation once it begins to flower, or before?
Haven't watered the older plant in 4 days, soil still moist 1" below. Think I watered 600mL.

Patience weed hopper. Do not clip until you see the structure of her growth it's still a baby. Leave it and just tend to her, play with your photoperiod when time comes. If i had a auto at a month old right now and no photos going i'd be starting my photo seed. By the time that auto finishes you'd be well on the way to a good veg on that photo and close to harvesting that auto. Keep playing with that auto and she'll take forever.
I'd start the photo, but I'm moving in 4 months. And the AC here sucks, and the tent is kinda small. May start it July or August.
I guess all the leaves growing in the middle of the stem are because I tied it down earlier? Hopefully it's not a big deal. I'll leave it alone then

75F, VPD 1. Day 22 & 10. Still haven't watered the older plant in 6 days. Feels slightly moist-ish digging 1" below. Rootsruler was right, I should have used a better draining soil. Because I can be a cheap bastard, I might mix in some $7 perlite with the Roots Greenfields I already have for when I transplant the smaller plant. Don't know how much I should mix. I have 2 more seeds of this strain, so after I move I could try it with something else.
But the plant's kind of droopy, and there's some separation of the soil from the edges. So it's probably dry. May water it tonight then?
I found what I think are fungus gnats crawling around in the clay pot of the smaller plant, but couldn't find any dead ones. Reddish wings, crawling fast through the soil. Didn't see them fly. I sprayed a bunch of neem oil and then put diatomaceous earth all on top of the soil. Was reading, seems diatomaceous earth can make drainage slower. So I may try to scoop some of it out later.
Ordered CALiMAGic, Quantum PAR meter, sticky traps.

Lift that pot up helps to determine how dry it is. One of mine gets a droop right before sleepy time for the, perks right up when lights back on. And this time of year it's cooler so they know it, we or me can't or won't put add'l heating in the tent to keep them toasty at about 80-83f.
Oh i'm cheap too as you can see nothing fancy in my grows. I generally put a handfull extra per pot of perilite won't hurt it but sure helps drainage. Hey good luck in the next home, would be great to throw a plant outdoors come summer if your in a legal area? Nothing like sitting and watching grass grow for 4+months LOL

I've never used the ACI self watering pots but a friend has and he's had a few problems.

Yup! Females.....
please be patient i have autism
Days 24 and 12. 79F, VPD 1. PAR ~300 for seedling, ~400 for the other.
It's been 8 days since watering the bigger plant. A few without watering the seedling, besides spraying it a bit here and there. Was hoping the fungus gnats would die off. And neither plant was drooping that much, I can't tell if the soil is still moist 1" below. It feels cool to the touch and not very coarse. Seems like there's some brown/dead thin roots there.
The pot doesn't feel heavy or light, I don't really have a frame of reference. I wonder if the humidifier is somehow keeping everything moist, since I have the fan blowing mist into the plants. The inline fan has to keep running to keep VPD from getting too low, and the whole house gets misty.
At this stage, NebulaHaze's watering guide recommends watering 1.5L. Maybe I'll try watering 550mL today, 1L in 2 days?
For the bigger plant: Mixing into 550mL of water: 1 drop of Si-Tech (recommends 1.3 drops/500mL.7.6% Calcium, 0.47% Boron, 1% Silicon for silicic acid), 0.3mL of CALiMAGic, 0.25mL of foilage-pro (recommends 0.65mL/500mL), 1mL of voodoo juice.
And just water for the seedling.
1. Is that ok? Thinking of watering tonight. When the light turns back on. Should I water 1.5L? Dilute what I mixed already?
2. Should I try transplanting the seedling into that yogurt pot? The clay pot has poor drainage.
3. Is it fine if I water the seedling so little that it doesn't get any runoff? Last time I watered it with only a bit of runoff, a few days later, I saw fungus gnats or something. The roots have reached the bottom of the clay pot, so based on what I remember from AquaMan's watering guide, maybe it'd make sense to water 100mL, maybe every other day?
Thanks

I wouldn't go by any set volume of water. Water to runoff and water ALL the media not just what's around the root ball. Let the plants tell you when they're thirsty. Let your plant go until you just start to see the leaves start to droop. Lift your pot. Remember how light it feels. This is your signal to water again. PAR and Temp look good. Do you know what your RH is?
Water your seedling the same. When the cup feels light water again. If you over water you may get root rot.

There is no drooping, but the leaves do feel papery and thin. Guess I will water tomorrow. Gonna be 9 days without water lol. Current temp 83F humidity 60%, if I open the window temp will slowly decrease to 70-74F throughout the night. Humidity is lower since I opened the side flaps for more air intake.
edit:day 26, 14. watered old plant 1.5L with same ratios as above but a bit of bloom mix. transplanted new plant. got yellow from last watering. seemed root bound. added maybe 5 handfuls of perlite to the 3 gallon mix
