The SR-71 is the last to start flowering in my garden. You have plenty of time with her.

Treeman never tops, I'm a super cropper. Hurts me to remove that new growth. I stop super cropping on Aug 1st. I just pinch and bend those tops over to promote more growth underneath. Jan 4th to you Aussies is equal to our July 4th here in the states. I feed for 6-7 weeks starting July 1st with the Maxsea 16-16-16 before I start seeing a real stretch/flowers. I keep on the 16-16-16 until the stretch is over (mid to late August, mid to late February for you Aussies), then I start on the Maxsea 3-20-20 to promote the flower growth.

Yep i learnt that from you before im going to keep topping her as much and as far as i can ...im also going to dig her into a hole with the fabric pot and put extra soil under and around her tomorrow.
5 gallons (18 litres) of 3 tablespoons (42 grams ) is the feeding regime for now but how often should i feed at this rate ?
Is once every 5th day to much ?

I think that's a bit much for a 15 gallon smart pot. I know your putting her into the ground, so start @ 2 tablespoons to 2 gallons of water, then up that amount 50% in 2-3 weeks (3 TBS to 3 gallons of water) then up it again to 4TBS/4gallon of water another 2-3 weeks after that. Stay @ 4TBS until ready to start with the 3-20-20 (bloom food).

Does anyone notice how good their girls look after a few days rain/ cool weather?
We've had 4 days cloudy light rain here and my plants look amazing. The colors beautiful, they seem to have grown a lot
And just look perfect.
The 3 week heat wave just stopped them in their tracks and this change has just supercharged them.
I'm not sure if it's the new pots, fresh soil, rain or a combination of all the above but
Wow what a difference.

MUCH better. Order you some blue Walmart shopping bags online and get 7.5 gallons of cheap, long handled ghetto ingenuity. Check this little system out.
