PK Solo Cup

21/9/20: Everyone is looking great. Super Skunk is getting huge, just as the Power Africa is. The Northern Lights is above soil, but I removed a portion of the shell from the tip of the leaves. 98% positive it would have come off naturally, but I didn't want to risk it, or wait for it. *Update* It us now open to the world, so today is counted as day 1. Purple Kush is still chugging along. The 5th node is coming along nicely, and the 6th will be making it's presence shortly. I might just go ahead and FIM it now, instead of waiting to top it at the 4 node. If I do anything today, I will leave an update. 24/9/20: Fed everyone in the tent, even the Northern Lights and Freedom Kush. Day 2 - Both the new plants have received nutrients from their birth, so I'm looking to see if it has any affects on them at all. So far they look great, for only being a few days old that is. Day 15 - Super Skunk is still pleasing me with it's explosive growth. It's large enough I'm considering the start of it's LST. I am trying to hold off another week, but I might not make it that long. Day 11 - Power Africa is starting to take off in it's growth. It started very slowly, and I thought it might not have made it, but she held on. In a few days, her leaves should be stretched out over the sides of the pot. It might be time to top her sooner than I had thought. Day 10 - PK is doing well. 6th node is just starting to come in, so I think it's time to be topped. I'm tempted to go down to the 3rd node, as it looks like it would produce 4 nice branches from beneath. I will contemplate this further, as I want the best for this one. It really depends if I want 4 colas, or more. As it's a solo cup grow, I should not try for something too extravagant, until I know I can even flower one out. *UPDATE* She was topped at the 4th node. I'm hoping the 4 lower branches start to take over. I only have a little more than two weeks left of vegetation before I switch it to flower. I will do some more pruning in another week or so, to try and get an even canopy, along with the required training. 26/9/20: Fed everyone, even though not everyone actually needed it. I need to start remembering to leave extra nutrient water aside for the PK, as it needs extra watering the next day. Power Africa is really putting on the growth. I'm tempted to top it now, but I know it's too soon. One more week, and it should be good to go. Super Skunk received some good tucking of leaves, as I decided not to do any training. I know the plant stays short and bushy as it is, so some leaf tucking should really allow those lower branches to receive plenty of light. Northern Lights is still growing well. It shows some odd leaf formation, but nothing I haven't seen before, so for right now, I won't attribute that to the early nutrients. Freedom Kush is looking good. I have no idea how this one will turn out, but it will be worth the wait. Purple Kush is reacting well to the stress of being topped. I can see the lower branches are longer, and the new growth is already starting. I will prepare the sides of the cup with small holes to handle the upcoming training. It won't be much, just enough to hold the new growth back. 27/9/20: PK Solo is bouncing back very quickly. The new shoots are twice as long as yesterday, and will be up in the limelight very soon. Decided to tie back some leaves, as there is no place to tuck them. Super Skunk reacted well to the tucking of leaves, and the lower shoots are almost even with the top. I will continue to monitor it's growth, and tuck more leaves as necessary to reduce the need for additional training. Power Africa is moving along at light speed, and will soon require transplant. The idea of topping is really playing on my mind, and I believe I will do it very soon. Even though it's still very young, it's growth is showing that it is ready. If I move quickly, it will be a cleaner looking plant. **UPDATE** I topped the Power Africa, as well as tied down some leaves. I couldn't keep them tucked on their own, so I used plant ties to anchor them in. Once lower growth branches out, I will unhook the leaves, and start tying back the branches. Lower plant is now exposed to light, so I should see some explosive growth in the next few days.
