Week 4: Stretching & Slowing Down 🌱🌸
Week 4 brought some interesting developments in the grow room! I’ve been keeping up with defoliation, trimming both plants to keep things tidy and let the light penetrate deeper into the canopy. Everything seemed fine until a couple of days in, when I noticed something unusual – the SweetSeeds Sweet Pure Auto CBD is hitting its bloom stretch hard, growing fast and already showing signs of flowering. 🌸 Meanwhile, the Royal Queen Seeds Orion F1 is... not quite keeping up.
The Orion F1 seems to be in slow-mo compared to its tent mate. It’s growing way slower and much bushier, without a single sign of pistils or bloom yet. 🤔 Definitely a bit behind schedule while the Sweet Pure is charging into the flowering stage like a beast! 🌿
Despite this, I’ve been defoliating both plants throughout the week to keep airflow strong, especially as that moisture likes to collect in those bushy spots. I’m thinking of tying down the Orion F1 a bit more to spread it out and keep the airflow better, since that dense structure is trapping moisture inside and I want to avoid any potential issues.
The plan is to keep a close eye on that slow growth and hope the Orion F1 catches up soon. The Sweet Pure is doing its thing with no issues, so fingers crossed for a bloom explosion from both of them soon! 🤞✨
