Looks great!

I (as you know) couldn't post a couple days there due to the keyboard bath.

So after reading your thread I think you MAY be over watering a little. You should only water once you've dried out almost completely, but before the plant droops. It's best to allow it to droop a tiny bit and feel the weight of the pot at that time. Then in the future you can check by lifting the pot. It usually works out to about two and a half to three days between waterings.:thumbsup:

First bend looks great though. You're very close to to late to pull that off, many more nodes and that girl would have been to stiff.

Here is what my first bend looked like, then 10 days later when I tied back the new branches.
