Busy week and everyone is looking happy! Watering 10L between 4 plants every 3 days since transplant.
Day 52
Transplant day! Gaia Green Organic Living soil amended with their Worm Castings, All Purpose, Powerbloom, Superfly Frass, Basalt Rock Dust, and some microriza from Dynomyco which I sprinkle to cover bottom of hole. Also cleaned up #2 and #4 because they were super bushy.
DAY 53
All plants are looking really good after transplant. Ties were added back to plants, and added new ties to bottom half of #4 to open it up a bit. #4 is same height as other 3 despite being 2 weeks behind, shows how much topping can slow growth. Very curious to see yield differences.
Day 55
All the girls have filled back in again, very bushy so did a big defoliation. Removed inner most fan leaves and branches off each arm from all plants. Really opened up 🤞for good recovery.
Day 56
Plants are pointing up and looking happy again 12 hours after big defoliation. Already at 13" been gaining 1" per day.
These are apparently "tall plants with moderate to high stretch" according to breeder and first time growing them, so will give 1-2 days to make sure they have recovered well and then start transitioning lights to a 12 hour cycle.
