Change Environment:
- ScotoperiodHours: [ 1200, 1800]
- Scotoperiod: [ 6, h]
- Changed time to CST (Clock Change 2 AM Today)
Observation:
- It will be interesting to see how the node spacing develops. At current light intensity, WZ id NOT attempting to stretch, but is remaining relatively compact (at least for the first 2 nodes ;-} )
- No water in a couple of days. WZ is successfully navigating root development. Here we look to have the PERFECT moisture. It is MORE than worth it to assure a Properly Hydrated pot PRIOR to up plant.
- I expect little water needed before planting in final . . .

- The mainstream is fading towards whit3e from reddish brown. IFF Dark Meristem is a sign of stress, here we see optimal moisture, and a plant happy with the status quo until some signs of droop . . .

- Decided to Water Today - 2 x [ 50, ml]
- Quillaja Powder, Ful-Power, King Crab
Pot was LIGHT, no heft. Leaves apparently dipping. Watered 100 ml over an hour - 100% Field Capacity. 60°F Water and a little root stress. We’ll have a look at 1900…
Have a good transition into Flower buddy !!
Really good work u put in advance to prepare them for flower 🧑🌾
pretty well written diary, not often to see 💚
Thanx @BudBoutique, I appreciate it! I'm not the best note taker, but have developed the habit to do. It's useful AFTERWARDS for sure - especially when re-growing the same cultivars. Cheers!

What is the smell? Is it very sweet smell? Terpinolene smell? Looks exactly like my purple haze autos (nasc freebies). I'm also growing two whiskey Zulu autos (same breeder) but plants look way different. I have both in my journal and I'll be posting the harvest in a week or so.
@Dabking, Terpinolene is the Terpene - Yes, its dominant note. In WZ's defense, I havent' figured her out in a cabinet grow, yet. X-Factor Cranking currently - Cheers!
