Day 37 : More rain all day 18mm Day 38 : She looks like shes going to flower soon so I decided to suppercrop her. Bent her just above the lowest node and held her down with tent peg's. Day 39 : After a night of recovery she is looking good. I got some more tent pegs and that evening I tied down all of the "Sucker" nodes Day 40 : Everything is looking great She has perked back up and the stretch begin's. Day 41 : I can now see she is flowering quite nicely. Hopefully the supercorpping didn't stunt her growth to much. Day 42 : Did a little bit of tucking of the fan leaves to expose the buds more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She took very well to supercropping and the LST I did this week. Started flowering around day 40. Next couple weeks Im hoping she will stretch out into 7 bud sites and the top cola

July 2 - July 8 Day 43 : Got lots of rain yesterday, Now its looking like a dry spell. Which should provide some nice sunny days. Day 44 : Good day today, shes taking in the sun and loving her spot. Day 45 : Getting Warmer. High of 24C today. Nothing she cant handle. Day 46 : Its nice and warm today. High of 27. Did some weeding around the garden. Pushed the basil behind her back so she gets more light. Day 47 : Shes stretching a bit. Now each node is around 2" from the tent pegs. Looks droopy because its a rain day. Day 48 : Filling in nicely . I pinched off the small bud growth that was happening near the tent pegs since they are so close to the ground and will not get as much light. Day 49 : I decided to LST the top cola a bit to give both it and the bud side behind it more light. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a hot week for her and not much rain. I kept her hydrated in the mornings and that seems to work well. I was hoping for more stretch then what she has done but I believe there is still more to go.

Day 84 : More rain and heat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week was wet and humid. It was 30-35C all week with a humidex in the 70 or higher. It felt light a sauna even at night. Next week is looking sunny. Getting close to harvest I figure 2 more weeks.

From the heat and humidity that was around the last week she got bud rot. I notice the top cob was bent over and not sticking straight up. When I corrected it I notice the rot. After inspecting the rest of the plant only one other bud had rot on it. I decided not to chance any more loss and cut her down. Dried her in the shed for 4 days then cut the buds off the main stock removed the large fan leaves and put them into jars. Going to cure them with the sugar leaves on and then after a couple weeks cure I am going to fully trim them.
