Lets take a peek at "The Deck" ladies and see how they are making out after their rain last night.
I started out with the intention of growing the 4 biggest girls on the deck. They have just about grown too big for the deck believe it or not. At least for me to be able to enjoy any of the "deck" while they are up there. I can see we are going to have to expand the size of "The Fence Group" next year. I can't even hardly get to my grill anymore....and that just won't do!!
Sour Cherries (Clone) - Crockett Family Farms
Up first we have the Sour Cherries. I spent about 2 hours yesterday giving her a hair cut before the rain. It opened her up a lot for much better air flow. She has really exploded with growth after her sluggish start after transplanting into the soil that got amended the same day I transplanted her. She didn't seem to like it much for about 2-3 weeks....but after she got settled, she took off.
I really need to try and spread her open a bit more but all the branches are really tough and hard to bend. I broke a couple that I tried to bend so I just kinda stopped. I will keep bending the tops outwards as much as possible.
Afghani (Clone) - Sensi Seeds
I know...she doesn't look like an indica but I assure you, its afghani. I spend an hour or two on her yesterday as well.....getting rid of a LOT of growth that just won't see the light of day. And I still have a lot more to trim off her!
Jack Herer (Clone) - Seedsman
This is the girl that went into un-amended used soil and she kinda hit a wall here recently. I had to start top dressing when I water her.....I am hoping that will get the energy of the soil back up to par. She has looked better in the 2-3 days since I did that, so its looking up. I will also be doing foliar sprays on all these ladies tonight.
8-Ball Kush (Fem) - Barneys Farm
I just up potted this one from her 2 gallon into a 5 gallon and I decided to leave her set outside on the deck for a few days. The main reason is I wanted to see the difference in the adjustment period for up-potting between the indoor girls and the outdoor girls. She definitely seems to be getting her roots under her far faster than the MOAB which was up potted at the same time and put back under the Next Light Core. She is on day 3 outdoors today and the growth is much more aggressive than the MOAB. She will be getting a sulfur burn and going back into the tent in a week or so.
Super Silver Haze (Fem) - Greenhouse Seeds
Saved the biggest for last! Really don't have the words to describe this monster. She is coming up on standing 7' tall and she is almost 5' wide. Every day there is just more visible growth and she isn't showing any signs of slowing down. She is the one that is taking up the most room on the deck. I thought about moving her down to the fence area but unless I get some muscle to help do it, she's likely gonna stay where she sits.
