Black Dog Auto

Entering the first week of the flowering stage with my Black Dog strain, and I'm excited to witness the transformation of these plants. They have grown impressively and now stand at around 35 cm tall. The transition from vegetative growth to flowering marks a significant milestone in their development. The temperature in the grow room remains consistent and favorable for flowering, with daytime temperatures reaching around 28°C. During the night, the temperature drops slightly to a comfortable 26°C, providing an ideal climate for the plants' flowering process. As the plants transition into the flowering stage, I have started to gradually lower the humidity levels. Currently, the humidity hovers around 60-65%, which helps maintain a healthy environment. However, I plan to gradually reduce it to around 55% later in the flowering stage to minimize the risk of mold or mildew formation. Earlier this week, I performed a defoliation session to remove larger fan leaves that were blocking light penetration to lower bud sites. This will promote better airflow and light exposure, ensuring optimal bud development throughout the canopy. Additionally, I implemented some low-stress training (LST) techniques to manipulate the plant's shape and encourage horizontal growth. Watering has been consistent, providing approximately 1.5-2 liters of water per day. It's crucial to monitor the moisture levels in the soil and adjust watering accordingly to prevent overwatering or underwatering. To enhance soil health, I chopped some veggies and added them as a nutritious treat for the worms in the soil. This organic matter will decompose gradually, providing additional nutrients to the plants as they progress through the flowering stage. I also placed wood chips on top of the soil to act as a mulch layer, preserving moisture and promoting a healthy microenvironment. Looking ahead, I am eagerly anticipating how this Black Dog strain will continue to develop throughout the flowering stage. I will closely monitor their progress, making adjustments to environmental conditions as needed, and providing them with attentive care. The journey toward a successful harvest is underway, and I'm filled with anticipation for the weeks to come.
