Redweasel October 25th entry
Ran into gnat sign & needed to top dress today due to the fact I’m only in a 7 gallon container. My sf nematodes do not arrive till Friday.
Old mulch removed, cover crop chop & dropped. Top dress of 2tbs each, basalt rock dust, mycos, azos, & craft blend were mixed with 1c worm castings and worked in remaining mulch & chopped cover crop. Old mulch retuned to pot. Hand watered 1/2 gallon 6.5 ph water mixed with 1/4 tsp each, coconut water powder, recharge & horticultural aloe powder. New straw mulch added & sticky traps replaced.
Worked on the future eight cola manifold structure. Removed all lower nodes from branches. Performed Kushman Chiro on stem and all branches. Repositioned bud clips. All plant material was mulched and layed down under straw layer. No topping was executed as of yet.

Redweasel November 1 entry
Busy morning! I’m fighting fungus gnats and my nematodes were delayed in shipping, but needed to do some training today & introduce bacillus thuringiensis israelensis as I have zero down time right now.
Topped each branch above the 3rd node while removing all growth below. Removed and discarded as much straw mulch as possible. Chop & dropped cover crop. Chopped remaining plant matter that was removed during pruning and added to chopped cover crop. Layered 1 1/2 c Build a Flower completely covering chopped plant material. Watered with 1/2 gallon bti watering mix including 1/4 tsp each of recharge, aloe powder, and coconut water powder. Replaced mulch later with finely diced dry straw, about 1/2 inch. Bud clips installed on all four branches, directly below the remaining nodes. Sticky traps replaced, Tray2Grow activated & DLI reduced to 32.

Redweasel November 22nd entry & photographic documentation
Installed a RO system & replaced all 50 gallons from my reservoir. The KC water report I read was appalling & I’m surprised she’s doing so well.
Pulled the mulch layer and layed down a 1/4 inch layer of castings to replenish the microbe population.
Activated UVB pulses 1 minute per hour during the middle 8 hrs of the 12 hr light period. I’ll ramp the minutes weekly & let her acclimate slowly.
Hand watered with 1/2 gallon of aloe infused water adjusted DLI & buttoned her up for the week.
