As the pre-flowering stage became noticeable at the end of last week, I decided to give each plant 30g of Greenhouse Feeding Bio Bloom dry fertilizer on Day 23. I worked it into the top layer of the 12L BioBizz All-Mix soil for all four plants. Additionally, I used the rings I attached last week to pull down the top four branches (two nodes) with garden wire, creating a very even canopy. The only exceptions are Plant #1, which still has two branches lagging slightly behind, and Plant #2, with one slower branch. Otherwise, all branches are level and developing well.
The top branches are already showing a lot of budding sites, and all four plants are entering full bloom with many pistils emerging. I’ll likely start threading the branches through the net next week as the stretch continues.
For feeding, I’m still sticking to once a week, but now I’m using Bio Grow (1.0 ml/L), Top-Max (1.0 ml/L), Alg-A-Mic (1.0 ml/L for heat stress), and 0.3 ml/L Cal-Mag as a preventive measure. Due to high outdoor temperatures, the tent sometimes reaches up to 33°C during the day, so I had to water about every 1.5 days, giving 700ml per plant. At the end of the week, I gave each plant a full liter of water with the added nutrients. I’m skipping BioBloom since I’ve already added the dry fertilizer.
The plants are thriving despite the heat, and I’m excited to see how they continue to stretch and bloom in the coming week!
