Yes it looks healthy. It probably has tight node spacing from being in a pot and going through frequent dry/wet cycles. Next year I would set the pots into the ground a little to get them heat protection and access to the ground.
Yes in fact I purposedly let them always have a dry out period. I'll usally soak the pots good and let them dry out about 2-3 days depending how hot it is. And
Amazingly for the last 2 months it's been in 80-95 degree range. I guess the soil mix holds the mositure well but not too much. I also lower the temp in the grow space by wetting ground down early to mid day. I wanted to make sure they really developed a good root system and forced them to search for water.
If it's a rainy day about 4-5 days dry out period. Some the stems are thick as hell! My biggest worry and nightmare is bud worms on my buds! Everyones been talking about the horror stories finding rotting worm shit in their buds! Damn mantises are taking forever to hatch.
My only defense currently is yellow jackets and maybe some stray frogs. Or maybe have to cover the greenhouse with plastic sooner than expected. I never thought butterflies and moths could cause chaos on weed! Always kindda liked them before growing. Not anymore! Used to hate yellow jackets and now respect the bastards and would never kill one again!
Anyway been a long 4 months and about 2 more months to go! People dont give farmers enough credit!
