29.09: As another week passes, the excitement in my grow room continues to build. The plants have now begun to form flowers, a milestone that brings me immense joy. The unmistakable and beloved scent of cannabis has filled the grow box, a clear sign that things are progressing as expected. This week, however, posed some environmental challenges. The outdoor humidity exceeded 70%, which prompted me to consider the risk of mold formation. To mitigate this, I adjusted the fan speed from one-third to full power and redirected the airflow towards the walls of the grow box, rather than directly onto the plants. This, I believe, has created sufficient circulation throughout the space, ensuring that any moisture buildup is minimized without causing undue stress to the plants. Unfortunately, my third plant remains in limbo, still refusing to reveal its gender. The plant has struggled with illness since its early days, which may explain the delay. I remain hopeful that by next week, I'll finally be able to determine its sex. I also noticed a peculiar development: small yellow (or light green) patches appearing on the tips of the new leaves. Upon reviewing older photos, I realized that similar yellow tips had appeared before I even began administering nutrients. At present, I’m using Advanced Nutrients in very small, recommended doses—often even below the suggested amount. While this isn’t a cause for immediate concern, it’s something I’ll be keeping a close eye on. So far, I’ve only applied nutrients for the vegetative stage, but next week I plan to introduce flowering nutrients, starting with half of the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. See you next week with more updates on this exciting journey!
