Crazy thunderstorm this week, just dumped 15mm in under 10min (over 40mm in under 24hrs), flooded everything in town, luckily no issues at home! I didn't witness how she handled it as I was out fishing (not the smartest idea, but hey lots of salmon) , but she still looks great, no issues at all. That's a big benefit of growing in a mound like this, no chance of drowned roots, but it is hard to keep the overall outside of the mound moist.
Still moving bud clips up every few weeks to even out the cannopy, light defoliating of the bottom and inside, monster maxx and silica, compost tea Brewing as we speak (every 3 weeks). Pistils are everywhere, but I wouldnt say flowering yet.
10g airpot is maybe finally done stretch and should officially flower soon, will probably trelis net shortly.
Added some scat matt to the underside of the plant to stop the Robin's from peckin away at all the tasty millipedes from the compost top dress layer, I can see how aggregated they got but it worked haha.
Overall incredibly smooth grow so far, no issues at all, looks incredible. Still plucking out any growth tips buried in the cannopy, had to cut out a couple more branches that lagged behind but you really can't even tell, so I wasn't worried. Those bud clips have really tripped the number of leading nodes, in the cannopy, so easy and simply highly recommended.
