Moving into Week 6, and I have to admit, the weather has not been on our side. We saw very little sun this week, and for two nights, the temperatures actually dropped below that dreaded 10°C mark. Despite the chilly nights and lack of rays, the girls powered through and developed pretty well all things considered. They are definitely proving their resilience!
Training: 🌿
I kept things mostly hands-off this week. For the plants undergoing LST, I only made some very light adjustments to maintain the canopy structure, but otherwise, I stepped back and let them focus their energy on flowering.
Feeding Strategy – The Bloom Push:
Since the flowering phase is well underway, it was time to update the menu and give them the fuel they need to build those buds. I've added CalMag to the tap water for all four plants, but the main meals have officially diverged for the bloom stretch:
Team Organic: Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze received their very first dose of BioBizz Bio Bloom. The slow-release EPN fertilizer did its job perfectly through veg, but now it's time for that organic bloom boost.
Team Mineral: Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner have successfully transitioned to the Hesi Bloom fertilizer to push flower production.
Current Standings: 📏
Lemon Cherry Cookies: Still ruling the roost and reaching for the sky at 69cm.
Bruce Banner: Stretching out nicely and currently sitting at 48cm.
Amnesia Haze & Banana Purple Punch: Holding steady right around the 40cm mark. The LST is keeping them nice and compact while they focus on bud development.
Let's hope Mother Nature finally decides to bring the heat and consistent sunshine back so these ladies can really start stacking up those flowers.
