Wired more tightly, even using zip ties. Had fed more fertilizer and maintenance of buds.

Realized the original pot drainage hole was small. Roots climbed down the slope.
Soil was generally wet, so recommended to mix in more pumice & lava.

Tight root ball and base roots, but uncrossed some roots that circled.
Angled the base, engaging less perpendicular—elevating the apex.
Dustin & Gio encouraged more curves and wiring would work with or without tape.
