Week 6 Flower Report: Maturation in Full Swing!
๐ Welcome to the week where the magic of maturation takes center stage! ๐
The garden has reached a pivotal moment as the trichomes are bursting with potential. Each one a glittering universe, they are the undeniable stars of this show, taking over every surface with their frosty brilliance. โจ Watching them evolve is like witnessing art being created in real time โ itโs a reminder of the beauty and patience this craft demands.
Trichomes: The Frosty Frontier
This week, the focus is all about those frosty beauties!
โข Trichomes are the key indicators of ripeness and cannabinoid production. Watching their progression from clear to cloudy to amber provides the ultimate insight into maturity.
โข Currently, weโre seeing a fantastic mix of cloudy trichomes with some clear still hanging around โ a perfect sign that theyโre gearing up for their final push.
โข Fun fact: Trichomes serve as the plantโs natural defense mechanism, protecting it from UV rays and pests while being our treasure trove for cannabinoids and terpenes.
Spectrum Tuning: The Science of Light
Light plays a major role in shaping the maturation process, and this week, weโve dialed in the spectrum for optimal results. Hereโs the breakdown:
โข Whites: Running at 77% to maintain robust overall growth and trichome density.
โข Deep Reds, Far Reds, and UV: Maxed out at 100% to mimic the end-of-season spectrum, signaling the plants to finish strong.
โข Deep Reds: Enhance photosynthesis efficiency through the Emerson effect.
โข Far Reds: Promote stretch and flowering hormone production.
โข UV: Stimulates trichome production for an extra boost of frost!
Weโve also added a timing twist:
โข Reds & UV start 15 minutes before whites to simulate sunrise.
โข Reds & UV finish 15 minutes after whites to mimic sunset, creating a more natural light transition.
These subtle timing tricks help reduce stress while optimizing light absorption, ensuring every photon counts! ๐
Environmental Conditions: Precision is Key
Here are the dialed-in parameters for the week:
โข Temps: 26.3ยฐC
โข RH: 70.1%
โข CO2: 800 ppm
โข VPD: 1.03 kPa
With these numbers, the ladies are thriving in their sweet spot, absorbing nutrients efficiently while maximizing trichome development.
Lighting Power:
โข Lower layer at 800 PPFD and the upper layer shining bright at 1500 PPFD. The canopy coverage is perfect for even development throughout the garden.
Nutrition: Balanced and Boosted
Weโve stuck with the tried-and-true nutrient mix this week but with some strategic adjustments:
โข Removed Breaking Powder to focus on trichome maturity.
โข Introduced K-Boost at 0.5 ml/L, giving the plants the potassium edge they need to pack on weight and enhance terpene production.
โข Feeding solution details:
โข pH: 6.2
โข TDS: 755 ppm
โข Temp: 20.6ยฐC
In the Autopots, the medium stays perfectly hydrated at 100% with:
โข TDS: 580 ppm
โข Temp: 22.2ยฐC
