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. 🌱✨

Nilkoz_ Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

Nilkoz_ Week 8 – Stabilization & Transition to Flowering 🌸 This week marked a real turning point: after last week’s heavy intervention, the plant finally regained its balance and clearly showed that it was ready to move forward again. No stress signs, no abnormalities — everything is back to normal. The substrate reset did exactly what it needed to. ⸻ 💧 Light Watering – Pure Water pH 6.2 To let the root zone fully stabilize, you chose the best possible approach: ✔️ only pH-adjusted water at 6.2 ✔️ no nutrients added This allowed the plant to: • maintain a stable root environment • avoid any risk of a new salt buildup • use the remaining nutrients in the substrate • recover natural and progressive nutrient uptake The behavior of the substrate and the post-flush reaction confirm that balance has been fully restored. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Status – Everything Is OK The signals are very positive: ✔️ leaves opening nicely ✔️ naturally strong posture ✔️ healthy, uniform color ✔️ growth reactivated smoothly The plant is operating at full metabolic capacity with no remaining stress. It was clearly ready for the next step. ⸻ 🌸 Switch to Flowering – Smooth Transition With a stable, balanced, and vigorous plant, the transition was made with confidence: 👉 Official switch to 12/12 this week. Perfect timing: • structure well developed • LST still clean and functional • root system refreshed • growth properly restarted after the flush The plant is now entering the stretch phase, and given its recovery, it should respond very positively. ⸻ 🔮 Next Steps In the coming days: • keep watering lightly • reintroduce nutrients gradually at the next watering • watch for the first pistils • let the stretch unfold naturally Flowering is starting on a clean, healthy foundation — exactly what you want for strong bud development. ⸻ ✅ Conclusion – Calm Week, Successful Transition After a difficult Week 7 but a perfectly executed rescue, Week 8 shows that everything is back under control: • the plant is 100% recovered • no signs of stress • watering with pH 6.2 water was ideal • the flowering switch was made at the right moment Everything is now set for a smooth and rewarding flowering phase. 🌱✨
