We've officially transitioned into Late Flower! This week has witnessed massive change in a number of variables.
First, the plants are no longer receiving their Silica supplement, nor are they munching on any of Floraflex B1/B2 mixture... Only Full-Tilt from here on out. I've also maxed out their dosage of Rock Resinator, though they're already getting sticky from prior supplementation (in conjunction with its imbibing Terpinator and Purpinator, of course). They continue to demand approximately 1 gallon of feeding solution, every other day.
Second, the grow environment has also incrementally changed. The mighty PhotoBio MX is now raining down light at 100% of its full capability. This has resulted in slightly increased temperature throughout the "Lights On" period of the day, but its nothing that the AC Infinity system can't handle! The plants' exposure to UV-a/b has also been increased slightly, for the purpose of promoting resin production.
Third, changes in the plants' development has been nothing short of massive - particularly in reference to Grape Gasoline. Grape Gasoline's buds are getting so big and fat that one of her main branches collapsed (thankfully, without any tears or breaks on the lower side of the branch) under the weight of them... a good problem to have! Applez & Bananaz is also getting larger, though not at the same rate as her sister - which is OK, because not all plants grow at the same pace or result in the same yield. At the end of the day, all ladies are beautiful when it comes to marijuana.
Last, it would appear that we're nearing the end of this grow. We've probably got a week or two left before The Flush. Until then, we'll hold steady and continue moving towards a successful harvest.
Until next time...
