And here's the same plant after another 2 weeks (photo taken today):
That's a giant tomato plant beside it that popped up from the bit of worm castings that I top dressed the soil with before laying down the mulch. I directly planted the cannabis seeds about 2 weeks later. Before the weed overtakes this tomato, I'll be taking some cuttings and planting some outside when the weather is warm enough. Even though we started lots of varieties of tomatoes from seed already for this season, my wife and I are curious as to what the heck this fast growing monstrosity of a tomato plant this is. lol
The only thing I've done in the last two weeks is hand water the pot once, and I topped all four plants last Sunday. This upcoming week will be a bit busier, as I'll be spending at least 20 minutes tying down the highest branches for initial LSTing.
In case anyone is wondering why I wrapped this 4 foot diameter fabric pot with plastic, it's because in my first 2 cycles I noticed that the biological activity was very low in the soil within a good 4" of the pot sides. It just was drying out too fast, so the plastic is there to retain more moisture to the pot edge to keep the activity even throughout the soil. I left about 4" of the pot unwrapped where it meets the floor.
