Pink Island Cherry Monster Crop

alleversun Week 1: The Turnaround (Monster Crop Reveg) Cultivar: Pink Kush x Sweet Island Skunk x Cherry West Breeder: Tester / Private Selection Stage: Late Rooting / Early Reveg (Transition) Medium: Rockwool cube nested in hydroton (expanded clay pebbles) Lighting: Continuous 24/0 photoperiod Nutrient Solution: - Brand: Quick Grow Nutrients - TDS / Strength: 350 PPM (~0.7 EC) - pH: 5.5 Environment: - Canopy Temp: ~25.5°C - 26.0°C - Relative Humidity: ~70% - 76% - Leaf VPD: ~0.70 - 0.85 kPa - Root-Zone Temp: ~25.5°C - Irrigation Method: Flood-and-drain; 24-hour cycle established (morning flood) Weekly Summary & Observations: - Overcoming The Stall: Early in the week, low root-zone temperatures (~22°C ambient) paired with 55% RH caused vascular stalling, limp posture, and light bleaching across the upper canopy leaves. - Dialing Parameters: Raising ambient temperatures to ~26°C, locking root warmth at 25.5°C, and elevating tent humidity into the low 70s dropped the VPD into the target 0.7-0.8 kPa range. - Morphological Shift: The cutting responded with full hydraulic recovery in less than 24 hours. Turgor is fully restored with foliage praying toward the light, the stalk has stiffened, and the apical crown has opened with vibrant, lime-green reveg growth (single-blade and 3-finger leaves). - Next Week's Objective: Monitor root expansion into the surrounding hydroton under the daily flood routine, track lateral branch site proliferation from the monster crop break, and prepare for SCROG canopy training as true 5-finger fans emerge.
