the 7th week. i decided to do the first topping. she took it well. and the new branches are thriving. i have also started LST training. she has got used to the environment and is finally showing the power i expected from her. the first weeks were just too changeable and sometimes too cold.
Bud rot was an issue for my outdoor ladies, too. I could move them indoors in an improvised grow room in my basement. They will take another two weeks, probably. Good luck with your last weeks!
