Mornin'...few shots of the shed,,,day 4, post flip...keeping a close eye on the DDA's and Killer is not showing any ill effects from the CS treatment so far...

Morning. Your DDA is looking pretty healthy. Here's what a friend's looked like a few days before he harvested it:
The tote is just a po' folks drain pan (translation: only thing he already owned that was large enough to set the container in). The plant's container is a five-gallon GeoPot (fabric pot), from our forum sponsor of the same name. He's on disability, so when a contest winner already had a bunch, asked the company to send them to me, I put together a little care package for the guy. SweetSue was kind enough to win a light for him in a past Mars-Hydro contest - and he was off to the races, lol. He hadn't grown cannabis in lots of years, and that was outside, so he decided to do a "trial run" with just one plant, and wanted to grow something that was a little different than what he'd grown in the past. I figured the DDA would qualify
.He only harvested a couple ounces, but said it was a blast watching it grow (colorfully), and appreciated the fact that he didn't need to worry about light leaks. Soil was just a mixture of Happy Frog and Ocean Forest (heavy on the former) that I had on hand and then added perlite to end up with a 3:1 soil
erlite mix. He asked for "easy care" so I included a quantity of Osmocote Plus, told him to mix it all through the soil at about half the dosage the manufacturer recommends for general use, and mentioned that he might need to add a little flowering nutrient late in the grow if it looked like it could use it. But he just kept giving it (tap) water with a spoonful of Epsom salt now and then. Seemed to work out okay for him.Anyway, I thought you might be interested in seeing another DDA that exhibited a somewhat different growth pattern; he told me that he did almost no training on it. Plant might have been topped early on, though. I think he'd have liked to have a large central cola, but I wonder how the harvest weight will compare between the two.
Oh, and he did zero pH checks, accidentally gave it way too much water a couple times and it sat in its very own puddle until he noticed the next day... and (once) purposely gave it too much water because he was going to be away for a week and didn't want it to get thirsty - then returned home to discover it had become so dry that he lost an estimated 25% of its leaves.
Pretty resilient plant, methinks.
I showed him a picture of yours, and he said, "Nice plant!." Then I showed the pictures you posted a while back of the outside of your grow space and your front yard and he was even more enthusiastic, lol. Just another old hillbilly who could often be found with a rod & reel in his hands before they became nearly unusable (his hands, I mean, not the fishing stuff).
). The plants take it well and I like to make sure there's heavy microbial action. I'm not recommending you do this, but it is what I've been doing.
...growth and Trans shouldn't be an issue, as I ordered extra with the "kit"...Tea however could be an issue...20/20 hindsight, prolly should have ordered an extra as well...may have to consider doing so...while the "kit" is well thought out, a couple lengthy Sativa's could easily deplete the basic kit bottle ahead of harvest...I'm thinking that if one was close and ran out...humic acid could be a substitute...but I say that without any qualification
...h00k...
...
. So he has a few left, and intends/hopes to be able to grow most of them out. He's subject to government(?) inspection because of his circumstances, which I think happens either toward the end of this month or some time next month, but after that, he'll be on round two.
