Vegetation Phase - Week 5
Week 5 marks a bittersweet milestone. RIP to the Marienkäfer homie — gone but never forgotten. Their watchful eyes and pest-snacking legacy will forever live on in the tent. Meanwhile, the Donutz gang is thriving and about to hit the next big step in their journey: the 7-liter pot upgrade.
Updates & Changes:
RIP Marienkäfer: Nature giveth and taketh away. The tent feels a little emptier without our little guardian, but pest pressure remains nonexistent thanks to their diligent work.
Transplant Time: The plants are moving up to 7L pots this week, giving their roots the room they need to expand and thrive before flipping to bloom. This upgrade will ensure a strong foundation for the explosive growth coming soon.
Watering: Still sticking with reverse osmosis (RO) water for maximum control and cleanliness.
Plan for Flower Transition:
After the transplant, the plants will chill for the rest of the week in their new homes to recover and adjust. Week 6 will cover the flip to flower. With the clean lollipopped structure and solid root development, these plants are set to focus all their energy on producing hefty main colas in the Sea of Green setup.
Observations:
The Donutz are stacking beautifully, with healthy green leaves and strong stems.
The SOG canopy is filling out, and each plant is shaping up to deliver a uniform, productive grow.
Next Steps:
Monitor the plants closely after transplanting to ensure they adjust smoothly to the 7L pots.
Maintain stable environmental conditions to avoid stress during the final veg phase.
Prepare for the flip to flower in Week 6 — the real show is about to begin!
