Nilkoz_ Week 3 — Vegetation Phase 🌿 The plant is absolutely thriving this week! Growth has really taken off — every day she’s getting bigger, bushier, and more impressive. The leaves are a deep, rich green with perfect structure, showing no signs of deficiency or stress at all. The internodes are tight, the stems are thickening beautifully, and new growth is bursting from every node. It’s clear she’s loving the current environment and nutrient schedule. Current feeding: - 2.5 ml/L Root Simulator - 1 ml/L Cal-Mag - 2.5 ml/L Terra - 0.16 ml/L Generator This mix is performing incredibly well — honestly, the best nutrient combination I’ve tried so far. The root system is strong and well-developed thanks to the Root Simulator, while the Terra and Generator are pushing vibrant, explosive vegetative growth. The Cal-Mag is keeping everything perfectly balanced, resulting in lush, healthy leaves with that ideal deep green tone. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with how things are progressing. The plant looks powerful and full of life — exactly what I want to see at this stage. If she keeps growing at this pace, she’s going to be a monster by the end of veg! 🌱🔥

Nilkoz_ Week 4 — Vegetation Phase 🌿 Another solid week of veg! The plant keeps pushing hard with thick, vigorous growth and a really strong structure. She’s getting wider and bushier by the day — the training is paying off beautifully, and the stems are sturdy with great spacing between nodes. This week, I performed a topping at the 5th node, and she took it like a champ! The goal is to encourage even more lateral growth and shape a strong, balanced canopy for the next stages. 🌱✂️ I did notice a bit of light yellowing on some of the newer leaves, which makes me think there’s a minor iron uptake issue, probably related to slight overwatering or a pH fluctuation in the soil. I’ll try to fix that as soon as possible by letting the medium dry out a bit and checking my pH levels carefully. Nothing serious — she’s still looking strong and healthy overall. 💪 The current feeding schedule remains the same and continues to deliver great results: • 2.5 ml/L Root Simulator • 1 ml/L Cal-Mag • 2.5 ml/L Terra • 0.16 ml/L Generator Even with this small hiccup, the plant looks fantastic — strong, vibrant, and full of energy. With a quick adjustment, she’ll be back to that perfect deep-green tone in no time. Excited to see how she bounces back next week! 🔥

Nilkoz_ Week 5 — Vegetation Phase 🌿 Week 5 has been an absolutely fantastic stage of growth! The plants are showing tremendous vigor and energy — every stem is thick and strong, and the lateral branches are developing beautifully. The canopy is now well-balanced and starting to take a very uniform shape, which is exactly what you want before the transition. 💪🌱 For this week, I adjusted the feeding program to really support strong and healthy development: • Root Simulator: 2.5 ml/L • Generator: 0.15 ml/L • Terra: 2.0 ml/L • Cal-Mag: 1 ml/L The plants are responding exceptionally well to this regimen. Leaf color is a perfect, vibrant green — not too dark, not too light — showing that the nutrient balance is spot-on. Each apex is soaking up energy, and the growth is both dense and vigorous. The structure is becoming more solid, which will help ensure a smooth transition to the next phase. 🌱 Watering is perfectly dialed in now. The substrate dries out evenly between sessions, eliminating any risk of overwatering. Leaves are upright and firm, a clear sign that the plants are thriving and the environment is stable. ✔️ Visually, the garden is looking amazing. The canopy is nicely spread, allowing excellent airflow between branches. The lower growth is filling in gradually, and the top growth is ready to continue its upward expansion. Training efforts are really paying off — the plants are maintaining a strong, even structure with a lot of energy in every node. Overall, Week 5 feels like a pivotal moment. The plants are healthy, vigorous, and responding perfectly to both nutrition and care. The combination of strong stems, dense foliage, and well-spaced branches sets the stage for a successful transition to flowering. The visual appeal alone is exciting — you can really see the potential for the next stages. 🔥 Extremely happy with how things are progressing. If they continue at this pace, the next phase is going to be nothing short of spectacular! 🌿✨

Nilkoz_ Week 6 – Structural Training & Substrate Reset Week 6 marks one of the most intense and transformative stages of the entire grow. The plants not only maintained impressive strength and vigor but also underwent a controlled water stress, applied intentionally to flush out the excess ppm that had built up in the substrate. 💧⚠️ This reset fully cleaned the root zone, and the plants reacted exceptionally well: strong leaves, firm stems, fast recovery, and perfectly controlled growth. Their response demonstrates how healthy and well-developed the root system is. ⸻ 🌱 Controlled Water Stress — Applied at the Perfect Time A heavy water stress was performed with the goal of: • removing accumulated salts from the soil • stabilizing pH and conductivity • giving roots fresh oxygen • resetting nutrient absorption The stress was intentional, well-managed, and the results are clear: ✔️ no leaf burn ✔️ clean, uniform, vibrant green color ✔️ fast rebound of all tops ✔️ full vigor restored within 24–48 hours This type of reset provides a major boost before final structural work and prepares the plants beautifully for the flowering transition. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure — Outstanding Work After flushing and resetting the substrate, the structure was refined with precision: • The plants are now wide and fully opened thanks to LST. • All main branches are evenly spaced in a perfect circular pattern. • Lower cleaning is extremely clean, giving the plant a strong, elegant trunk. • The tops form a balanced, even crown — ideal for a uniform canopy. The result resembles a SCROG created entirely through LST, representing top-level training. 🔥 ⸻ 💧 Nutrients (same doses as last week) After the intense flush, the feeding schedule was resumed at the same dosages — the perfect choice: • Root Simulator: 2.5 ml/L • Generator: 0.15 ml/L • Terra: 2.0 ml/L • Cal-Mag: 1 ml/L With the substrate completely reset, this feeding provided a clean, balanced restart without overloading the plants. Visible results: ✔️ perfect green tone ✔️ leaves pointing upward ✔️ zero toxicity ✔️ optimal nutrient uptake ⸻ 🌬️ Overall Health & Environment The plants show exceptional health: • Thick stems indicate strong airflow and environmental stability. • No signs of overwatering — humidity is well controlled. • The soil looks aerated, rich, well-draining, and full of healthy perlite. • No signs of pests or disease — everything is clean and well maintained. Even after significant manipulation, everything remains stable and harmonious. ⸻ 🌸 Ready for the Transition With a refreshed substrate, a well-built structure, and a stable feeding routine, the plants are very close to the ideal moment for the 12/12 switch. Two options are equally viable: ✔️ give them 5–7 more days to widen further or ✔️ begin flowering soon for a perfectly controlled stretch Both approaches will yield excellent results. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Major Week, Perfectly Executed This week marked a key turning point: structural shaping, a heavy flush, precise LST, lower cleaning… and despite all these interventions, the plants show outstanding strength and resilience. This level of precision is what separates an average grow from an exceptional one. Bloom is shaping up to be spectacular. 🌱✨

The babies are doing great! 🌿 Growth is steady the first serrated leaves are getting bigger and keeping that nice vibrant green color. Stems are starting to thicken a bit, and cotyledons are still healthy and green. Today I prepared 150 ml of water with a few drops of Root Juice, and gave 50 ml per plant to keep the soil slightly moist while encouraging healthy root development. Conditions are stable around 23°C and 80% humidity, with the light still set at 25% intensity to avoid stress or stretching. Everything looks strong and happy so far — next step will be the appearance of the second set of true leaves 💪🌱 @SuperStrains @Hy-pro_official
