For whatever reason I did not read into LST until a little late into vegging, here are some before pictures taken May 25th and 29th

If my timestamps are correct then this is the 1st day of LST the 31st

and now here is today. I've moved the 2700k light to the side after my lower leaves started falling off and a few more yellow tips.
Not sure if I FIM the plant correctly, got a close up of whats going on.

Haven't had time to upload any updates, added two PC fans and some lights. After one day of two additional lights I've had some leaf damage.

1st picture I believe is heat damage, the new lights have been running a little hot making the room 86.
2nd is showing slight discoloration on the leaf edges. New growth on the top seems to be taking a while to grow in.
 
Wanted to add some lights, so needed to do something about the ventilation with the added heat. Found some power adapters laying around and attached them to some extra PC fans.

Turns out I had the lights too close at first which is where the burns came from (I think).

Did the transplant last night, I know I prob shouldn't tie it down right away but it's getting really close to the lights.

Gonna be trying out a Plant Nanny for watering, will be going out of town for a week so need to get it right.

When I first did it, I didn't have the stake all the way in and I believe the soil was not well watered before. The first bottle was empty in 20 mins. I've tampered with it a bit so ill give updates later
 
After tinkering with the plant nanny a bit I switched to a larger bottle so it will not leak, and marked the starting point for day one. After 24 hours this is the current water level, it has seem to slow down after that due to everything keeping watered. Once it empties I will fill it completely to test how long it can go.

I underestimated the amount of water needed , after six days (prob a day or two without water).
After a flush and six hours later she starts to look better. The next day after this she has lost a lot of the lower leafs. She has gone through a lot of stress, not possible to LST away from the lights without her snapping. Will have to move the lights
 
It's been a while since I had time to update. One week into 12/12 and so far so good.

2nd picture is a few days before the first which was taken today.
