We are at the end of week 4, and she really started exploding this week as you can tell. We still don't have any visible flowers, but she is in a deep 45-gallon "pot", so she can take all the time she needs.
2 days before the end of the week, we lowered the ScrOG net we built for this grow, just a few inches above the raised bed (which is not filled fully, so we have about 6-8 inches of room for her). The day after I positioned the net, she grew a few inches overnight, and I started by bending her apical stem over into the net, to give her lateral branches light. It turns out, she has very wide leaves that were shadowing her lateral branching. I tried training her for a day with garden wire, but it wasn't working out very well, so the net was installed low. In the two days since installing it, we have seen her apex grow several inches, and her lateral branching as well, so we may possibly be starting the stretch. We will continue to weave it into the net and see what it brings us. This is the very first time we are utilizing a net, and it seems to be working well so far to give her under-canopy the much needed light from her dense foliage above.
If need be, we may dig up and transplant the runt next to her. That is documented in my VCDC diary. It's kind of hard to believe that both plants are exactly the same age, as we sowed them and they sprouted on the same days.
I have only been feeding her RO water this week. Tomorrow, we may top-dress with some bloom-enhancing inputs I will concoct. What exactly, I'm not sure yet. I have several recipes and inputs, and I sort of play it by ear and experiment a lot. One thing is for certain: we never use anything marketed for cannabis, or ready-made solutions or salts. We make everything ourselves from raw ingredients, and preferably plant, mineral, and microbial derived.
I expect we will see flowers forming by the end of next week, but we'll see.
Happy growing matey π This strain looks amazing π
Im also growing CBD strain and will be making RSO oil from high THC and high CBD plant to help with my ankylosing spondylitis πππ
Beautiful garden! I plan a living soil box inside my basement. Now I grow outside with a homemade terra preta. Different species in the garden is good!
@Drgreen13, hiya mate. Yeah, I had to take a step out of the spotlight. Personal time and stuff to heal. I'm back and better than ever. Hope you are doing the same.
