Had to step away from the girls for a week long family vacation so I wasn't able to post an update on time. I had someone take care of the girls but can't expect the same care I give so I can't accurately report on watering and runoff. Heatwave ended and now we hardly have any sunlight or warmth from the sun due to an insane amount of forest fires burning right now. Either way the girls are both happy and I will get a further grip on where things are at once I get watering and testing runoff again. They are super wet right now cuz there isn't much for sun.
I also have a Durban Poison and a Cali OG Kush Haze going from crop king seeds but these ones are purely organic so it's near impossible to report soil conditions etc. I basically uses a custom mix of my own soil, however I now realize it doesn't have good enough drainage so I'm nursing them into flower. Will post pics and another update on week 10 in a couple days.
Edit - Day 63. Just finished week 9. Need to stop rushing my posts to get updated pics on here as quick as possible haha. Added a few pics from today. Will post week 10 next week at the end of week 10. Smoke is starting to subside a bit today but it has been choking thick for days and it has completely plummeted the temps both day and night! Today it warmed up a bit but I haven't needed to water the girls since I returned home as they were absolutely drenched due to lack of heat and sun from smoke. I'll likely hit them with the booster tomorrow and maybe once more after that before thinking of flushing.
It's crazy how different the buds are looking on each plant considering the only difference has been topping the one and letting the other buck except some lst to open her up and let the sun shine in. I have to say again how beautiful these genetics are looking as crop kings seems to get hammered on....as for the power of the smoke....well that will still be a while before I can test that, but they are looking insane to me.
