Daily Breakdown
Day | Observations & Actions |
Day 29 | DP1's first top, i noticed a significant vertical jump. Tucked the tallest fan leaves to ensure light reaches the lower bud sites.
Day 30 Feeding Day. Stayed with a light veg nutrient profile.
Day 31 | Light LST training. Used some sheethed solid wire to help hold out and dowm.
Day 32 | The "stretch" continues. Adjusted the LED panel up.
Day 33 | The plant is looking exceptionally healthy with a vibrant, lime-green hue.
Day 34 | Plain pH-balanced water (6.3 pH}) to prevent salt buildup from the previous nutrient feed.

Grower’s Notes
The Durban is definitely a thirsty girl right now. I’m noticing she drinks her pot dry about 24 hours faster than the other DPC girls. I’ll need to keep a close eye on the soil moisture over the next week to avoid any drooping. No signs of pests or deficiencies—just pure, vigorous Sativa growth."
Next Week’s Plan
Monitor for any light burn as they harden off outdoors prepping for the Big Mother's Day transplant to the spacious 25-gallon bags
