70 days above ground (too much light in early vege)
12 FD
Blackcherry Pie F5 is moving along. This is BCP2. Previously, BCP1 was doing the modelling, but turns out she had balls and/or WPM. I threw out 3 plants with a seemingly systemic problem. Snipped a branch at bottom and it looked like xmas. So, after finding 2 males and 3 with wpm, only 2 BCP females remain. Of those, one is proper. The other did not recover from my early light intensity fuck up and not enough time to allow it to do so. It's potential won't be met. Not a good success rate with a healthy amount of stepping on my own dick.
Anyway, this one has a chance to be a beaut. It has proven it's more robust than most plants given its treatment. Crossing my fingers for a good smell, flavor and yield. It's got the structure for it. It just has to fill in well. Fairly robust stems, though still pliable at moment. That will change soon, so i'll keep bending them slightly in multiple spots along each branch.
Plant has been stripped of most lower growth, like all the others. Should have about 2 more weeks of vege growth lingering before plant ceases stem elongation and leaf growth. Excellent airflow through plant. Light hits several levels of the plant, and the canopy will fill back in shortly.
Unlike previous crops, i'm not fucking around this time.. any extreme symptoms, like wpm on trunk and lower branches in general, is cause for immediate removal. There is no point fighting a losing battler for next 8 weeks. Need to plant more seeds to ensure enough good plants. 25% more? 50% more... better than wasted space in bloom phase.

Every time I give my apprentice head start and pop his seeds at mines, he always harvest a lot earlier than me ....
Mars Hydro was supplying lights for him and I came to very similar conclusion ...
Extra light + extra space = Quicker harvest ....
