What a difference a week of good weather makes! The sun has been blazing almost constantly, and the girls have absolutely loved every single ray of it. The growth has been explosive compared to those slow first couple of weeks! Training & Mulching: 🌿 I’ve been staying on top of the LST for the ones I'm training, adjusting the ties to keep the canopy nice and even, which you can see in the updated photos. Some are already showing first signs of pre-flowering. I also added a layer of pine bark as a mulch on top of the soil for all four plants. It’s a game-changer for keeping the upper root zone happy and preventing that top layer of soil from drying out too quickly under the intense sun. Because of this, my watering schedule is super dialed in—I’m currently only needing to water twice a week. Feeding Check-In: Team Mineral: Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner are cruising along smoothly, receiving their regular scheduled ration of Hesi mineral nutrients + a bit CalMag. Team Organic: Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze are still thriving on just tap water + a bit CalMag, but I did add a tiny touch of CalMag to the mix this week just to make sure they have all the secondary nutrients they need to sustain this rapid growth. Current Standings: 📏 Lemon Cherry Cookies: This girl is an absolute beast! Growing naturally without LST, she has shot up to a whopping 38cm and is easily the giant of the family right now. The Rest: Amnesia Haze, Banana Purple Punch, and Bruce Banner are all averaging around 25cm along the main stem. It’s honestly getting a bit tricky to measure them accurately because of the LST angles, but they are looking bushy and robust! With the weather holding up, they are in prime position to keep crushing it. Can’t wait to see what next week brings!
