This week marks the end of the Veg and the beginning of the Flower. The plants are now in the seventh week of veg/preflower and show clear signs of their sex. Starting next week, the official flowering period begins. We have observed some beautiful changes again. Both plants are responding very well to Low Stress Training (LST), with P3 being slightly stronger and taller than P2. However, P2 is further along in the growth cycle compared to P3. I have adjusted the LST further and taken some measurements. This week, we reached over 18 cm (7.1 in) in LST. I have tied them down again, so now they stand at 16 cm (6.3 in). The actual size of the plants is over 30 cm (11.8 in). The color of the plants is healthy and vibrant green, the leaves are very strong, and the stem has slightly changed color. The smell is intensifying into a delicious, sweet, milky berry aroma, which is very exciting. I have increased the amount of Grow and Bloom fertilizer this week to support the growth. Briefly about each plant: P2: P2 shows beautiful signs of flowering, and there may already be some resin production on the side buds. The side branches are developing rapidly and becoming stronger. P3: P3 is growing more vigorously but is still in the preflower stage. As a result, it has more side branches and pistils appearing in several places. We also had a visit from a bee!
