It's been an internode growth week <shrugs>. She was outside for four days and then transplanted two days ago. The soil is a combo of silt, loam and clay from the creek bed/bank here mixed with compost humus mostly from 'greens'(nitrogen), but should be plenty of 'browns'(carbon) from the decayed root mass of last years 9' plant. The soil pH at root level is about 6.7 and the well water is about 7.
My goal is always for a "natural" grow (just good soil, water and sunshine) but don't always achieve it and will settle for cannabis approved pesticides. If i apply a nutrient/soil conditioner it'll be aerated compost tea with fish, guano or seaweed for N, P or K. There's a lot of insects here this year after a very mild winter and i'm thinking pre-emptive measures of some sort might be wise...
I'll probably remove the weed barrier fabric when it gets hotter this summer because last years' wilt fungus disease has me gun-shy about roots being too warm and humid.
For what it's worth, the 6th and 7th node leaves have 9 fingers.😎
