The plants continue to kick ass.
New French Macaron and Chem Brulee leaves are all 9-fingered now.
Crazy happy plants.
Sprayed with light BT spray (trying to avoid any caterpillar issues this year as much as possible) early in the week.
Sprayed with light Neem Oil / Castile Soap (no more dawn, no more issues!) late in the week.
Today, June 9, I also defoliated a bit.
Keep in mind that I don't want to do much this year as far as topping and training, so I've done one simple top on all of the plants, and essentially have created 4 main colas for each plant.
I only did this to create some airflow under the plant. I don't plan on doing a lot of this stuff.
Gonna let the sunshine do her thing.
Even though these girls have some hot-ass super soil in there, I'm still going to be doing some top-dressing.
Mixed this up and slathered it on there on Saturday, June 12.

@Themythicalchristine, all 3 are smelling great in their own way... but the Chem Brûlée is definitely the most pungent as of right now.
Like a tropical oil spill... in the best possible way.
;)
Great plants and great diary. I ma stealing couple ideas. My first outdoor.Diatomateous earth is amazing thing . Kill all my flying friends and they eggs
Happy growing
Looking great, I had a few inner leaves that looked the same, I think it's just the plant focusing on flowering more than keeping inner fan leaves alive.
