Vegetation Week 3: Steady Gains, Environmental Harmony & the Art of Boring
Update: 30.03.2025
Whatâs up, my Growmies?
Week 3 with the Blueberry and Durban Poison was blissfully⊠ordinary. No drama, no breakthroughsâjust the quiet hum of plants doing their thing. Hereâs the low-key recap!
Current Observations: Subtle Wins
Leaf Development: The first true fan leaves are finally unfurlingâwider, darker green, and more serrated. My Blueberry lady is slightly ahead of my Durban Poison babe!
Stem Thickness: Those once-spindly stems now feel sturdy and stable, thanks to their exposure to light winds.
Environment Report: Stability Wins
The weatherâs been a steady 10â16°C with occasional clouds. Plants are now outdoors soaking up direct light as long as possible (still bringing them in at nightâbetter safe than sorry with these chilly temps!).
The "Boring" Philosophy
No news is good news! This weekâs mantra: Donât fix what isnât broken.
Watering Rhythm: Sticking to plain pHâd water (~6.3) only when the pots feel light. No overthinking, no overwatering.
No Nutes Yet: Biobizz Light Mix is still feeding them plenty. No rush to disrupt the balance.
Future Prep: Laying Groundwork
Topping Plans: Iâm planning to top them next week for the first time! Iâll decide spontaneously if the girls look stable enough, but Iâm leaning toward waiting until Node 5 to minimize stress. Slow and steady wins the raceâno stunting allowed!
Week 3 Takeaway: Slow, stable growth means the plants are content. Sometimes, boring is beautiful.
Until next time: Stay grounded, stay growing⊠and stay blazing!
