This week, all plants have further expanded their growth potential. The Durban Poison shows a slightly different growth than the others. Its leaves remain somewhat closer to the main stem and steep side shoots grow out everywhere, which gradually bow horizontally as they grow in length and weight.
It is a pleasure to watch them grow. Frisian Dew no longer grows with their leaves developing in parallel, but staggered. This probably makes them grow even faster. Frisian Dew has grown through the last trellis, with a respectable length growth of 26 cm this week. A few snails have made a mess of the plants outside, but nothing tragic. The biggest increase in length, however, was on the Shaman in the garden with a growth of 30 cm. The garden is catching up. A couple of tops were topped on the Shaman to limit the height growth, but I think it was pointless. No fertiliser was needed as the fertiliser was added to the soil when potting up.
One thing to note though, the water requirement in several days of heat is enormous, they don't like to dry out. They had to be watered several times a day, the smaller the pot, the more often; automatic watering would help here.
Shaman in Pot 102 cm
Shaman in Garden soil 104 cm
Frisian Dew in Pot 140 cm
Frisian Dew in garden soil 102 cm
Durban Poison in Pot 96 cm

Some leaves from the top of my biggest plant, Frisian Dew, turn yellow and brown. The others don't show this behavior. The plant is in week 22 and still needs approx. 4-6 weeks until harvest. The plant pot is fully rooted up to the surface.
Large mesh textile pots is the best for garden , garden direct soil is an added stress factor to control and work with u want a good Pro Mix Soil with all the goodies ,dont over nute them , pro mix has for weeks in it.
@Boomer911, thank you for your tips. I already got some 15 l Gronest textile pots. When the plants get harvested, you can use the root balls as bricks :). 15 l pots are only suitable for balcony. The plants in it will reach up to 120 cm.
For a direct soil plant , you'd want to watch all the Guerilla Grows tips and tricks so you know what you have to deal with , also @Hologram here on GD is an expert , check her out
