Outdoor questions

Here is my girl on July 11 and again on August 20.

I started her in April by digging as deep as I could with PhDs . over the hole I set a hollow stump from a huge apple tree I had cut down. I have thick red clay under my top soil so I shoveled some gravel in the bottom and put 3" pvc in the center filled with sand for drainage. Around this I poured in a mix of happy frog, ocean forest, cow manure, lime, Epsom, a couple nails and few scraps of copper wire.

Then removed the pvc. Took 3-4. 5gal buckets to fill the hole.

Side note: turns out raccoons go apeshit over smell of ocean forest. They literally dug this plant up 4 times but each morning I carefully replanted her and spread manure over the top till they finally lost interest.

Anyway, this is a tropical strain so I didn't expect it to start budding early August. I have bag seed kush growing nearby that only started budding this week.

I have a nosy af neighbor so I had to kinda hide the girls. My spot only gets 7 hrs direct sun a day. Rest is filtered through trees. It's not ideal just what I have.

I have her staked out in a 6' circle. She has 10 main branches I have tied down.

Strain is tropical lightning from lumberjack. Why is it budding before the king kush from Colorado?

Also does anyone have tips or suggestions to help me pull her over the finish line?
