Puff, Puff, Pow! – Divine Seeds 25

Growtendo64 This week she got watered twice with about 80 ml, applied in a circle around the stem to encourage root spread. The first round included a drop of Root Juice. She has been kept under a dome at stable ~70% RH. I’m a bit surprised how twisted the first leaf pairs look. For now, I’ll wait another week to see if the next set of leaves develops normally. If not, this run might find a quick end.

Growtendo64 The first two leaf pairs still came out quite deformed, which worried me at first. I’m not sure if it was stress, genetics, or something else. I decided to give her another chance and the next leaf set looks healthy, so she’ll stay in the game. Under 24/7 light she remains very compact, with barely any space between nodes. Despite the rough start, the new growth looks strong and promising. This week she was watered twice: first 80 ml plain tap water, later about 200 ml with a little Root Juice and a few drops of Bio·Grow to ease her into vegetation.

Growtendo64 Budshot Betty started to show more strength this week. After a rough beginning with deformed leaves, the new growth now looks healthy and compact under 24/7 light. I reduced the lamp from 40W to 30W to encourage a bit more node spacing (currently ~1 cm). She was topped above the 4th node on day 20, and handled it well, looking strong and ready to be trained into the SCROG soon. Feeding has started with Advanced Nutrients, with Iguana Grow, Ancient Earth, and CalMag (BioBizz) added to her watering.

Growtendo64 Budshot Betty continues to look strong and compact. After topping above the 4th node and some light LST, she is shaping nicely for the upcoming SCROG. This week she stayed on the Week 3 feeding schedule: 1L with OG Organics Grow (3 ml), Ancient Earth (2 ml) and CalMag (1.5–2 ml). I decided not to increase the dosage further, as I noticed slightly lighter tips – a clear sign that she’s right at the edge of optimal feeding. Better to keep her steady than to push too hard. The structure looks healthy, internodes remain tight under 20/4 light, and she seems ready to transition into flowering soon.

Growtendo64 Budshot Betty officially entered flowering this week. First pistils showed on the 21st, so I switched her feeding to the bloom schedule: Iguana Bloom, Ancient Earth, Big Bud and CalMag. She now receives 1.4 L per watering. On the 22nd I removed a few fan leaves below the net, and on the 23rd I switched the light cycle to 18/6 to match the new phase. Training continues with gentle SCROG positioning. I keep the nutrients steady, only slightly reducing CalMag to avoid pushing her too far, as some very light tip burn had appeared earlier. Overall she looks healthy, compact, and ready to stretch into the net.

Growtendo64 Budshot Betty spread out nicely into the SCROG and now all tops are heading upwards. She took the increased watering volumes well – up to 2.2 L per feed – and responded strong. I did notice the very first signs of yellow tips, which tells me she’s right on the edge of nutrient tolerance. Because of that, the next watering will be plain water, and afterwards I’ll reduce the feed a little. Overall, she’s healthy and looking ready to stack flowers.
