GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 16 Veg | Heatwave Incoming, Drinking Even Harder
She's now at 135cm and still climbing, with day temps already hitting 29°C this past week and nights staying mild at 15°C. Watering volume has doubled again — 10L per feed now, up from 5L last week. At this size and in this heat she's pulling everything she can get.
Did another round of defoliation this week, clearing out some of the larger fan leaves shading the lower bud sites. With a canopy this dense, keeping airflow and light moving through the lower half matters more with every week — especially heading into a stretch of hot, still air.
Canopy remains dark green and even across the board — no deficiencies, no stress signs, just steady bulk and structure. The earlier LST work continues to pay off in how clean the light penetration looks through the mid canopy now that it's been opened up further.
Nutrients unchanged: CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH 6.2.
The week ahead is looking like a genuine heatwave — highs around 34°C with partly cloudy skies, lows staying mild near 19°C overnight. Going to need to keep a close eye on watering frequency and root zone temps if this holds. At 17 hours of daylight she's got plenty of energy to put into growth, but heat stress is the thing to watch for now rather than cold.
Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned. 🌿
