Grow Diary – Week 15
Catching Up & Plant Training
Last week was super busy due to the Mary Jane expo, so I barely had any time for the garden and could only keep an eye on things via the camera feed. Because of that, there was quite a bit of work waiting for me this week.
I focused heavily on the High Society and the Zupernova. I started by transplanting just one High Society and one Zupernova into big 30-liter pots, while the rest of the plants will follow later this week. Checking the root ball during the process, the transplant came at the absolute perfect time. The roots were incredibly dense, fully binding the substrate, and showed a beautifully healthy, bright white-to-beige color with no signs of root rot. In their new 30L homes, they have all the space they need to explode.
To shape a great canopy, I put these plants through a round of Super Cropping by snapping the branches. They feature thick, well-established main stalks that provide excellent structural stability for this kind of high-stress training. I followed this up with some thorough defoliation to clear out the lower growth, improve airflow, and get the light right where it needs to be. The foliage looks highly vibrant and bushy with a rich green color, showing great overall vitality, though I noticed some genetic purple/reddish tinting on the stems which is typical for these genetics.
**Current Environment & Setup**
The climate in the tent is looking very solid and stable right now.
The air temperature is sitting comfortably at 26.4 °C with a relative humidity of 64.7%. This puts the VPD at a perfect 1.21 kPa, which is an absolute sweet spot for this stage of growth. Down in the medium, the soil temperature is at 24.4 °C with a moisture level of 40.3%.
The main ventilation fan is working away at level 10 to manage the temperature and humidity, keeping everything perfectly on track after a busy week of maintenance!
Thanks for tuning in and following along with this week's update. Let's see how the girls bounce back from the heavy training and stretch into their new pots over the coming days. Happy growing to you all, and see you next week!
