pinknite Started germination with 3 x RQS Critical (paper towel method) on 8/4/2026. Transferred the seeds to their pregrow containers on 10/4/2026. Used a substrate mix of 40% Plagron Lightmix / 30% Canna Coco / 20% Plagron Perlite / 10% Plagron Mega Worm. Mixed 12g of Biotabs STARTREX into the soil, and 1g of Biotabs MYCOTREX into each planting hole. Watered with 6.2 pH.

Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌿 OVERVIEW / PLANT STATUS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Plants remained in very good health as the flowering stretch neared completion.
The canopy filled the tent evenly, with strong bud-site development across all plants.
Critical #2 showed the most vigorous growth and became the tallest plant at 64 cm,
while White Widow remained the shortest at 47 cm but was the most compact and densely structured.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌡️ ENVIRONMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Environmental conditions stayed stable, with temperatures around 24–28°C,
humidity between 50–58%, and good airflow.
Lighting was maintained at approximately 850–900 PPFD on a 12/12 schedule,
supporting flower development without signs of stress.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💧 WATERING & FEEDING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The AutoPot system operated reliably, with water consumption increasing as flowering progressed.
Plants transitioned fully into bloom feeding:
Bio PK was introduced with positive results and no nutrient burn observed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌸 FLOWER TRANSITION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Flowering entered Week 2, marked by a significant increase in pistil production,
clearly defined bud sites, and the formation of early flower clusters.
Stretch slowed toward the end of the week while floral development strengthened across the canopy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✂️ TRAINING & MAINTENANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Training work was largely complete, with only minor branch repositioning and leaf tucking required.
Maintenance focused on environmental monitoring, tray inspections, and AutoPot checks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ ISSUES & ACTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Minor biofilm was observed in some AutoPot trays, but no major deficiencies or cultivation issues were present.
Cleaning, airflow improvements, and continued monitoring helped maintain plant health and vigor.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 GROWER NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Overall, the week was rated excellent, with strong flowering progression, healthy growth,
successful nutrient adjustments, and a well-established canopy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The focus for next week is maintaining bloom feeding, controlling humidity, monitoring Bio PK response,
and preparing for increased bud formation as stretch concludes.

📅 Week 10 – Flowering
Days: 64–70
Dates: 12/06–18/06
Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌿 OVERVIEW / PLANT STATUS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Plants remained in very good health as the flowering stretch came to an end. The canopy was now fully established,
with all plants focusing their energy on flower production rather than vertical growth.
Bud sites expanded noticeably across the canopy and began stacking into recognizable flowers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 MEASUREMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Plant 11/06 18/06 Growth
---------------------------------------
CRIT-1 57 cm 62 cm +5 cm
CRIT-2 64 cm 70 cm +6 cm
CRIT-3 54 cm 57 cm +3 cm
WWID-1 47 cm 50 cm +3 cm
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌡️ ENVIRONMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Temperature ranged between 23–27°C, while humidity generally fluctuated between 55–65%.
As flower mass increased, humidity became more difficult to control and required maximum
exhaust fan operation. Good airflow was maintained throughout the canopy and below the plants
to support transpiration and reduce moisture accumulation around developing flowers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💧 WATERING & FEEDING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The AutoPot system continued operating reliably with steadily increasing water consumption.
Bloom feeding remained the primary nutrient strategy. Bio PK supplementation continued throughout
the week and plants responded positively with no visible signs of nutrient burn or toxicity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ ISSUES & ACTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No major deficiencies, pest pressure, or nutrient-related issues were observed.
The primary challenge during the week was managing humidity levels as transpiration increased
and flowers developed. Exhaust ventilation was operated aggressively and airflow beneath
the canopy was improved to maintain healthy flowering conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 GROWER NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Overall, it was an excellent week!
Plants completed the transition from stretch into active flower production.
Bud development accelerated across all cultivars and overall vigor remained high.
Canopy structure was well established and all four plants showed healthy flowering
progression with strong potential for the coming bulking phase.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Maintaining bloom feeding
• Controlling humidity below 60%
• Supporting early flower bulking

Days: 71–77
Dates: 19/06–25/06
Strains: RQS Critical (3x), RQS White Widow (1x)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌿 OVERVIEW / PLANT STATUS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Plants remained in excellent overall health as flowering entered the first true bulking phase.
The stretch is nearing completion, allowing energy to be redirected into flower development.
Buds increased noticeably in size and density, with individual flower clusters beginning to merge into larger colas.
Critical #2 continued to be the largest plant in the tent, while White Widow maintained the most compact structure
with tight internodal spacing and dense flower formation.

The stretch seems almost complete, but has not yet fully stopped.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌡️ ENVIRONMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Environmental conditions remained well controlled despite increasing flower mass.
Temperature averaged between 20–25°C, while humidity generally remained between 57–67% through active dehumidification and continuous exhaust ventilation. Strong air circulation above and below the canopy helped maintain healthy transpiration and minimised the risk of moisture accumulation within developing flowers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💧 WATERING & FEEDING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The AutoPot system continued operating flawlessly, with water consumption remaining high due to increasing floral biomass.
No bloom nutrients were given this week. No signs of nutrient lockout or deficiencies were observed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌸 FLOWER DEVELOPMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Flowering entered Week 4.
Bud development accelerated noticeably as calyxes began swelling and flowers stacked into larger colas.
Pistil production remained abundant, although the earliest pistils on older flowers began slowly changing from bright white to cream.
Trichome production increased significantly, with resin becoming clearly visible across sugar leaves and surrounding bracts.
A noticeable floral aroma also began developing throughout the grow tent.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✂️ TRAINING & MAINTENANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Despite the heavy defoliation 5 days ago (day 69 - week 10), the plants already produced a significant amount of new foliage,
resulting in exponential higher moisture production. Training activities focused mainly on strategic & heavy defoliation,
in order to reduce humidity:
• Removed leaves that were touching tent walls or other plants
• Removed dense, stacked, shaded leaves
• Removed leaves blocking airflow
👌 This resulted in the canopy remaining open, ensuring good light penetration and air circulation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ ISSUES & ACTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No major cultivation issues developed during the week.
Humidity remained the primary environmental consideration as flowers continued to bulk.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 GROWER NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Overall, the week was rated Excellent 😀😀
💪 The crop transitioned fully into the flower bulking stage with excellent health, strong resin production and rapid bud expansion.
💪 Canopy structure remained stable, and environmental control successfully supported increasingly dense flowers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The focus for next week is maximising flower bulking while maintaining optimal environmental conditions.
Priority tasks:
• Continue BioTabs’ flower boosting nutrients (Bio PK 5-8)
• Further decreasing humidity to 55% whenever possible
• Maintain strong airflow through the canopy
• Monitor trichome development and pistil maturity
• Inspect flowers closely for any signs of botrytis or mold as density increases
• Prepare for the onset of peak resin production during the coming weeks
