First outdoor grow RQS Hulkberry

I only started out this growing dairy now they are halfway blooming. I'll give a short summer of the vegetation fase: I grew this plant from seed. It's was very weak at the beginning and I have the sense it never fully recovered. I used a combination of topping, lst and ScrOGging. I choose to plant it in my garden without pot so the plant can reach it's full potential. I choose this combination because I wanted to maximize harvest without having a huge three in my garden. At the beginning everything was going as planned. I topped the plant, put it from the pot into the soil, put 1x1m metal grid above the plant and started ScrOGging. It all looked mathematically perfect untill.. the plant was growing faster than I could keep up with and bigger the the grid was built for. I continued stretching the plant sideways beyond the point I couldn't reach the middle anymore. After lots of doubts I decided to leave it like this and gave up on mathematicallly Scrogging. As a result new branches in the middle started growing upwards. When the first signs of blooming period appeared I took out all the small branches, big leaves and small fluffy hairs that wouldn't grow decent butts. Two weeks into the blooming period I took out all big leaves. As a result the plant has a very wide base and lots of vertically stretching branches carrying lots of nice looking and still developing buts. It looks like this plant will turn out better than expected at the beginning, still it's much smaller and looks weaker than her sisters of the same age and very similar conditions (different strains)

Weather is all well, much better than expected for this time of year. As a seedling she was the slowest and weakest of the four plants i'm growing this summer. Despite her name she still is. Buts aren't growing as fast I expected, might also be due to her relatively shady spot. Still I can't complain, looks like she will still produce a nice harvest

Weather is very good. But... She's not developing the way I hoped. Just doesn't look as healthy and happy as her sisters. Took out some rotten tops this week and stopped watering her just in case this might have an impact. Taking a close look trough the microscope she does look very promising. Very densely spread trichomes all over. Just hope she'll ripen on time
