May 15th, picked these clones up for doing a brake job from a customer. She had said one is grease monkey and the other was rock star. Looking back now there’s many things I’d have done differently from day 1.

Noticing some just aren’t happy. Trying to level the canopy but some just won’t have it.

Transplanted from the overly hot 5 gallon buckets to grow bags. I will never look back.

2 are still not happy but they are turning around. Not really sure why, I've fed, watered, done everything the same. That's gardening though😂

I cut them back 6 days ago taking about 40% of foliage. That was my first defoliation on all plants. The 2 stunted ones finally came out of it with a transplant. I’m guessing root rot from being in plastic buckets and little drainage. Back to looking healthy and green. I set up somewhat a greenhouse frame to prepare for the wetcoast fall rainy weather.

Sadly wasn’t able to focus much on these this week. I did some small adjustments with some of the tie downs. Did a plant wash with some neem oil and water. They average around 42” wide and 20” tall, and sprouting hairs everywhere. Pretty sure mid August for the flip.

Did another foliar spray and some defoliation. I noticed my neighbour occasionally leaves his outdoor light on, so I’ve decided to construct a blackout area to flip them over in 2 weeks.

The last week has been busy. I decided to flip my plants a little early and started on August 3rd. I started by shaving a hour of daylight for a week, last night I adjusted the times to line up with natural light hours to total 13 1/2hrs. This happened this morning to my pleasant surprise. I figure 4-5 days and I will see some real development. Better & more pictures to come in a week!

Tarping them over and removing it is getting pretty old. Glad there’s only 10 days left of it. I broke a branch this week, seems it’s taking ok with the mending.

Cooler temperatures, a spot of rain, otherwise a average but humid week. Concern is powder mildew now.

Some minor fertilizer burn on one plant this week. Seems to be recovering really quickly. I almost tossed the runts early on this season, and glad I didn’t. They had root rot and powder mildew from a very young age. I may get something off them after all.

Battling the start of powder mildew. Just need to hold it off a bit longer. Neighbours are noticing a smell haha.
