LEMON ORANGE (GHSC) | GREENHOUSE GROW IN NORTH AMERICAN PLANT HARDINESS ZONE 3

AUGUST 17 to 23, 2024 Sunrise 06:57, sunset 21:04 for a total of 14:07 in daylight Specimen continues to grow with vigour, putting on another 10cm (4") in height. Approximately 50cm has been gained in height since it began to stretch about 3 weeks ago. Canopy a little difficult to manage and not fully uniform, likely the result of the trellissing and the fact that it is in a fixed position and not being rotated 1/4 turn daily to expose all parts of plant to southern face where it would receive sun across its full circumference. Ever so slight signs of nutrient burn on tips, but all leaves are green throughout, healthy and without discolouration of any sort. There is no sign of mite or other foliage damaging pests. Fungus gnats are present, but treatment regime appears to be keeping the population down, and struggling to propagate. Plant is close to crowning at its upper-most flower sites, at which time a fairly substantial defoliation will occur, along with some strategic pruning to maximize light exposure to bud sites, but also to improve overall air-flow in effort to mitigate mould or mildew development on flowers. Based on development to this point, it appears that it could be up to 7 more weeks of flowering, putting harvest in the week of October 14, 2024.
