3 weeks above ground.

Grew a little crooked because I had a light expire in this room, but now that it's replaced it's straightening up.

Looking good!
Just got a few packs of their beans to try.....as soon as a spot opens up.

 

[Drownomatic]

26 days old

Topped above the 5th node, and bottom 2 nodes removed last night.

It was droopy this morning, but has recovered already.

 

[Drownomatic]

Fully recovered from topping.

I've removed a couple of fan leaves that were shading lower shoots.

12" garden staples used to flatten out branches.

Feeding ¼tsp megacrop 1 part per gallon, and ¼tsp kelp every watering.

Also adding recharge once a week.

Those big bottom leaves will stay until flowering starts.

About to bloom.

It's stapled out flat and I've removed any blocking leaves.

I love that pre flower look when all the new growth is all bright green in contrast to the older growth that has that deeper shade! Almost time to get stretchy!!!

Early Bloom

I've got it staked out flat with garden staples and removed any leaves that overlapped bud sites.

2 more weeks of kelp, then I switch to bud hardener.
