Hey Smokey!
It was kind of heavy for a bit, then suddenly back to sunny summer sunshine, then heavy rain again, haha.
I took a peek at them yesterday.
The top / FIM was going well, four main tops coming up, plus another lower branch or two, maybe 5-6 strong branches total.
The highest two stretched out a bit, maybe 15cm long. Total height (topped) maybe 35-40cm.
Fairly long internodal spacing, but that's good, they're outside, plenty of room, opens up the inside for light.
They're only on day ... 26 I think, and haven't sexed yet.
I really hope this is a lady, and then she can put on another 2-4 weeks of stretch.
Could in theory get a few really nice long colas from her.
We don't get droughts here at all. Even more so, don't compare us to most of Australian weather!
May usually has a lot of rain, then June is really ideal with most sunshine and little less rain.
Same maybe for early July.
But late July through August and even September is great sunshine, but often afternoon heavy thunderstorms and rain.
And during that time is the risk of typhoons, which aren't just massive rain, but winds that shred things.
Like Australian tropical cyclones, same kind of thing.
Maybe the weather is a bit like northern Queensland.
Never gets cold, often very hot, but lush and wet, prone to flooding if anything, and cyclones.
In recent news... looks like the very last 4 seeds of Strain 1 are popping out of the seed starters.
The strain 1 has been the winner in the end.
I will treat them the same as this present seedling, about 1.5 weeks / 10-11 days under lights.
Then into 7 L / 2 gal pots (prob use 2 plants / pot if they all go well), and outside they go.
