Power Africa Fast

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. 29/9/20: Fed everyone, with the Northern Lights and Power Africa receiving enough water to flood the tray. Purple Kush is still holding strong, with only a few lower leaves getting pale. Freedom Kush is showing good promise so far. Super Skunk is slowing down it's vertical growth, and pushing the lower branches out higher. Im torn between which dry amendment I should purchase, as they both have their merits. Gaia Green requires less applications, but more strategic planning on when to apply, as it lasts for 30 days. Geoflora requires twice as many applications, but is more easily to plan feedings as it lasts for only 2 weeks. I think I will just have to get both, and do a side by side comparison. The only way I will know for sure. One might be better than the other, or they might be the same. The Geoflora system has slightly higher NPK ratios. The continued use of Terpenoid Boosters will be the only thing that is the same, other than strain. Possibly switching to, or at least trying out, Purpinator. 30/9/20: Everyone is looking fantastic. Super Skunk is bushier than ever, an excellent quality in my opinion. Purple Kush is showing me an excellent structure. The too growth still isn't quite long enough to tie back, but almost. The lower branches will be needing some tending to in the next couple of days. Freedom Kush is doing better than expected, and I'm glad. Northern Lights is showing some better leaf formation now. The addition of nutrients from the start seems to be working well, with no visible signs of harm. Power Africa received a little trimming today, in the firm of defoliating of some large fan leaves. They were extremely large and in the way, and tucking just wasn't an option anymore. I was planning on waiting to replant after 4 weeks, but I think I might have to do it after 3 instead. 30/9/10: Power Africa received a little trimming today, in the firm of defoliating of some large fan leaves. They were extremely large and in the way, and tucking just wasn't an option anymore. I was planning on waiting to replant after 4 weeks, but I think I might have to do it after 3 instead. 2/10/20: Soil is still far to moist to require a watering. Early transplant is still being considered, but I'm going to try and hold off. The desire to switch it over to Gaia Green is very strong, but I'm trying to stick with the liquid nutrients. 3/10/20: As it was looking very bushy after Wednesdays defoliation, I decided to remove the remaining two large leaves and LST some branches. Unfortunately, I was a little too rough and had suffered my first damaged branch. Up to now, I have always been careful with my LST, I've never snapped a branch, or even had it start to split away, they had all gone smoothly. Until now that is. More care will be taken next time. I was thinking about transplanting today, but after the damage branch, I will wait at least two or three days before I decide to move her at all.
