## Week 7 Update: Strong Vegetative Growth 🌿💚
### 🌱 Vigorous Growth Continues 🌱
Welcome to Week 7! All of the plants—Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush, and Blueberry Muffin—are still in the vegetative stage, and they’re thriving. This extra time in veg is allowing each plant to develop a strong structure, which will be crucial for supporting heavy buds when we eventually switch to flowering.

### 🚀 Vegetative Progress 🚀
**Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞**
- Growing rapidly, with significant height and branch development.
- The plant is responding well to LST, creating a wider canopy for better light distribution.
**Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿**
- Compact and bushy, with strong lateral growth.
- Perfecting its structure to maximize yield in the flowering phase.
**Blueberry Muffin 🥞**
- Building a dense, sturdy frame with lush foliage.
- This extra veg time is helping it develop a robust canopy, setting it up for a productive flowering stage.

### 🌱 Vegetative Techniques 🌱
To make the most of this vegetative period, I've been focusing on:
- **Low-Stress Training (LST):** Continually training branches to create an even canopy and promote multiple bud sites.
- **Topping:** Topping has been applied to encourage bushier growth and increase potential yield.
- **Defoliation:** Selective defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration, ensuring the lower branches get enough light.
- **Nutrient Management:** Maintaining a balanced nutrient schedule focused on nitrogen to support healthy vegetative growth.

### 🌿 Looking Ahead 🌿
The plants are growing strong, and this extended vegetative stage is giving them the best possible start before we transition to flowering. In the coming weeks, we'll continue to monitor their growth and make any necessary adjustments before initiating the flowering phase.
Stay tuned for next week's update as the plants continue to prepare for a successful bloom!
Happy growing! 🌿💚
