Super Buff Cherry #26 - no-till

StoneyApple Clones arrived on Tuesday and were kept in small pots for a few days to establish roots. Transplanted them into the main bed on Sunday. Planning a 3–4 week veg period to fill out the tent. Environment: • Lights at 40% • VPD at 0.8 Pest Control: • Amblyseius swirskii • Chrysoperla carnea

StoneyApple Began LST to start shaping the plants and encourage an even canopy. Also set up the irrigation system. VPD is maintained at 0.8.

StoneyApple Continuing with LST. Soil is a bit too wet (60 mbar), so I adjusted the irrigation system to aim for 100 mbar. VPD is maintained at 1.0.

StoneyApple Still working on LST to shape the canopy. Soil moisture is back to 90 mbar, with VPD at 1.0. Temps have been high the past few days (~28°C), and some leaves are curling — likely from heat or slight overwatering. Hoping they bounce back soon. Planning to flip to flower in about two weeks.

StoneyApple Plants are healthy and vigorous. Topped them to push growth toward side branches and even out the canopy. A bit late this round — I’ll top earlier next time. VPD at 1.0 for steady growth. Planning to switch to bloom next Sunday.

StoneyApple Day 5 of Flower Flipped to flower a bit earlier than planned due to rapid growth. The stretch is now kicking in, confirming that the early flip was the right call. Plants have gained over 20 cm in height within the past week. Installed a trellis net today. Lights are set to 70% intensity, and VPD is maintained at 1.2. I’ll be feeding a compost tea the next few days. Once the main stretch is over, I’ll begin lollipopping.
