Environmental Lockdown:
Day Temp: Pulled back to 67°F (19.5°C)

Night Temp: Chilled to 60°F (15.5°C)
Night RH: Ultra-low at 25%
This aggressive VPD spread (~1.5–1.7 kPa) accelerates oil gland swelling and terpene volatility, enhancing the final flower’s nose and potency. The colder nights are also beginning to coax out subtle anthocyanin (purple/blue) colorations in select strains, depending on genetics.
Nutrient Program ( 10 gallons feed ):
Athena Balance : 30 mL
Athena Bloom B : 120 mL
Athena Bloom A : 120 mL
Athena PK : 100 mL
Athena CaMag : 50 mL
Athena Cleanse : 50 mL
PH : 5.75 / 5.85
EC 3.0/3.2
Drip emitters are tuned to deliver an even saturation, ensuring every plant under the SCROG net receives identical feeding. Runoff is monitored closely; if runoff EC exceeds input EC by +0.3 to +0.5, a gentle reset flush (~2.5 EC) is recommended mid-week to prevent late-stage nutrient lockout.
Crop Development:
Flowers are tightening hard, calyxes are swelling, and pistils are increasingly curling inward, shifting color from white to orange/brown. Trichome heads are starting to cloud, with some clear domes still present — the perfect indicator that bulk phase is nearly complete and ripening is underway.
