25 Sunday Punch EV

Northern_Ent April 26: seedling looks strong. Using soil blocking this year to minimize use of plastic. Soil is wetter than usual when starting seeds and the cannabis doesn’t seem to like it. Got one strong one going so that’s all i need. April 30 Day 5: transplanted into 7 gallon grow bag. Very early start but we’re now past last frost which is historically around May 6 here. Forecast is 28C this weekend so I wanted the seedlings to be hardened off in time for that. She’s definitely the biggest of the seedlings and should be a good one. oh, and the main risk being out so early are (damn) magpies and other birds looking for something to eat. Under protective cover for now.

Northern_Ent May 3: it was sunny and hot today and yesterday and the young seedlings made it through safely. This Sunday Punch is the biggest and most robust at this early stage. plants are moved into the enclosed but unheated garage to help make it through cold nights. This is risky having them outside this early but it should be okay. May 7: foliar spray of Extreme Blend from Kelp4Less. Highly recommended. Also watered with Monster Maxx last night.

Northern_Ent May 10: looking good. She’s outdoor quite early this year but i am putting the cannabis plants in the unheated but enclosed garage each night. Also watering in the early morning with warmed water. So far so good. May 15: growing quickly. This is still the biggest and most robust of the strains this year. The ruderalis genetics in these fast varieties also gives them better cold tolerance. Great stuff.

Northern_Ent May 17 Day 22: she looks great and is growing quickly. The fifth node is starting to form so I’ll be doing the first topping in a day or two. This will be done as a 16 cola manifold. May 22: been quite cool and rainy last four days. First topping this morning for the manidfold.

Northern_Ent May 24 Day 29: finally warmed up and is sunny again today. There should be some serious vegetative growth kicking in this week with warm weather and the plant old enough to be ready to take advantage. May 25 Day 30: rained enough lately that I didn’t water it today. May 26: warm enough overnight now to leave outside full time. Until force flowering starting in mid-July at least. May 28: hit 30 C today. May 29: hot again today and brief windstorm took out out a big tree across the street. My yard was untouched though. Shape looks great and will likely tie the two growing stems down tomorrow for a couple of days. May 30: tied down using pipe cleaners and paper clips onto edge of grow bag. This will keep the two main stems in the manifold nicely separated. A couple days of this is all it takes.
