Busy busy this week!
Evening of Day 2 did a large defoliation, about 30-40% of the fan leaves and anything growing towards the plant or into itself. She didn't even skip a beat, perked right back up by the morning!
Day 5 spent a few hours and got her all supported and netted in place. Was going to try and do without the net this year, but she's already so big needs the help for sure. McGivered a good cage out of 2x2x12 that ended up fitting perfectly into the corners of the plastic skids. Screws through the skid into the 2x2. Gave some cross bracing 3' off the skid then added a horizontal net 18" down from the top and wrapped netting around save for the bottom 2 feet. No branches down there so no net, and leaves me room to get inside and trim as well as makes watering easier. Will add more horizontal netting as she stretches, typically I do a layer every 24", and always make sure there is one 18-24" from the top at end of growth
Think I've finally figured out the yellow leaves. Have changed the watering from 10L a morning all at once to 6 liters in the morning and then another 4 liters in the afternoon but only on the really hot days where they're drinking a lot. Nutrients Monday Wednesday Friday water inbetween and Sundays are dry out days. Leaves are looking great (no yellows this week), most 9points or more and good color.
Also the tear from last week seems to be healing up quite nicely. Will leave the wrap on at least a few more days but all the leaves on this branch look green and healthy still.
This has been a great strain to grow so far! At this rate will end up my tallest plant ever grown depending on stretch 😁
