Back to the Zam . . .
13 days later at Day 42, the achiever on the right is stretching. Fast. It almost tripled its height in 2 weeks. And you can easily see its structure – a number of thick woody stalks with very little side branching - it was about 34” here. The runt on the left is now on a 6” booster seat to bring it closer to the light. It is starting to blow up with side branching. Defoling lightly didn’t even make a dent but at least it did improve airflow.
Here is a photo at Day 49 where you can easily see the size difference, the booster seat – and my wing lights in action. The humidifier is still working here to combat Canada’s furnace season and the dry air that that means. My ambient humidity is often in the teens. I killed it when I was in full flower to reduce any risk of bud rot or mildew.
