As the flowering stage nears its conclusion, the plants are thriving, showing exceptional development and maturity. This week has been both rewarding and challenging, with robust growth, intensified aromas, and the need to carefully manage the environment. Growth and Development The plants are in excellent condition, with strong, healthy buds continuing to bulk up. Trichome production is at its peak, with a large proportion now milky, signaling the plants are deep in the maturation phase. This progression indicates harvest is just around the corner, with preparations already underway. Aroma and Environmental Challenges The aroma in the tent is incredibly intense and aromatic, reflecting the advanced terpene development. However, with the plants drinking heavily, managing humidity has been a challenge. Despite running fans continuously, the relative humidity has occasionally exceeded 65%, raising concerns about mold or bud rot. I’ve been closely monitoring the situation, ensuring proper airflow and adjusting ventilation to mitigate any risks. Water and Nutrient Uptake This is the last week I’m using Biobizz nutrients for this grow. The plants remain very thirsty, and I’ve adjusted the watering schedule to ensure they receive adequate hydration without overwatering. Feeding has been focused on bloom nutrients to support the final stages of flower density and resin production. Next week, I’ll begin the flushing phase to prepare for harvest. Reflections and Next Steps I’m very satisfied with the progress so far. The combination of early defoliation, careful training, and nutrient management has set the stage for a strong finish. The trichome development is particularly exciting, with milky trichomes dominating and a few starting to shift towards amber. These are clear signs that the plants are entering their final days. Harvest is planned in approximately 14 days, which means the coming weeks will focus on flushing and ensuring the plants are in peak condition for harvest. Maintaining stable humidity and optimal airflow remains a priority, especially as the buds reach maximum density. Looking Ahead With only two weeks left, my goal is to guide the plants through their final phase with care. This involves reducing nutrients, monitoring trichomes closely, and addressing any environmental challenges promptly. If all goes according to plan, this grow should conclude with a high-quality harvest that reflects the effort and care invested throughout the cycle.
