Week seventeen of The Oasis Project brings the Durban Poison quartet to a point of impressive maturity and structure. The plants continue to thrive under the intense Colorado high-plains sun, responding beautifully to the ongoing commitment to Low Stress Training (LST) rather than traditional netting.
* Canopy Development: Each plant in the quartet is displaying a robust, open canopy that allows for excellent airflow and light penetration.
* Maintenance: Manual watering remains the primary method for these plants, which has proven essential for the mobility required to position them strategically on the deck throughout the day.
* Integrated Pest Management: The "security team" of African marigolds continues to accompany the quartet, providing a vital organic defense as we move closer to the flowering stages.
The quartet is looking exceptionally healthy and balanced, preparing for their final stretch before the anticipated harvest window in early to mid-October.
Update 7.9.26: recieved the ScroG netting for the big girls! Getting it setup so the buds can be supported from day 1 of flowering.
