Arcadium Repotted, still shaping mainline, going great! She's been cold out, but getting her used to her new home with a makeshift greenhouse. Growing much slower due to weather but she takes it like a champ, no issues with the cold.

Arcadium Weathers been incredible, hit 21c, nights still 7c, but she's been having no issues. Built a pretty quick rig for mainline and LST, been guiding her along ever 3-4 days, no issues. Seems like she's finally settled, growing quickly now. Drip irrigation once a week, got some fish and kelp mix to help with transplant. Will be top dressing compost / Gaia Green for the rest of the grow.

Arcadium Been warming up nicely, plants settling its new home. Expanded my LST rig a bit, should make the rest of training a breeze. Maybe 3rd top next week, will see.
Gave her a healthy dose of Compost tea (5ml Fish, 5ml Kelp, 5Ml molasses, 4L Water, 1cup compost bag, arreate 24hrs, dilute to 2Gal, use immediately). She really responded quickly, will be doing that every two weeks, at least.
No longer making my own pest spray, just caved and got Lost Coast Plant Therapy, weekly treatments. So far so good, smells better then Neem that's for sure. Lots of ants after a mad dump of mulch in the surrounding area, 2 grows ago I had termites move into my Hugel so I'm keeping an eye on em, it's in my Blueberry diary if you want to see.
Will start Gaia Green + Home made compost every 3 weeks starting next week, then drip irrigation weekly and that's it. Can't wait to see how big she's going to get.
@Seedsman, thanks! Very impressive genetics so far, it was cold last night, hit 1.9c overnight and she barely flinched! I always like to push the early start boundaries outdoors, but my area is Zone 7/8 so I have that luxury. Can't wait to see how large she'll be by October!
