Week 8 โ Stabilization & Transition to Flowering ๐ธ
This week marked a real turning point: after last weekโs heavy intervention, the plant finally regained its balance and clearly showed that it was ready to move forward again.
No stress signs, no abnormalities โ everything is back to normal.
The substrate reset did exactly what it needed to.
โธป
๐ง Light Watering โ Pure Water pH 6.2
To let the root zone fully stabilize, you chose the best possible approach:
โ๏ธ only pH-adjusted water at 6.2
โ๏ธ no nutrients added
This allowed the plant to:
โข maintain a stable root environment
โข avoid any risk of a new salt buildup
โข use the remaining nutrients in the substrate
โข recover natural and progressive nutrient uptake
The behavior of the substrate and the post-flush reaction confirm that balance has been fully restored.
โธป
๐ฑ Plant Status โ Everything Is OK
The signals are very positive:
โ๏ธ leaves opening nicely
โ๏ธ naturally strong posture
โ๏ธ healthy, uniform color
โ๏ธ growth reactivated smoothly
The plant is operating at full metabolic capacity with no remaining stress.
It was clearly ready for the next step.

๐ธ Switch to Flowering โ Smooth Transition
With a stable, balanced, and vigorous plant, the transition was made with confidence:
๐ Official switch to 12/12 this week.
Perfect timing:
โข structure well developed
โข LST still clean and functional
โข root system refreshed
โข growth properly restarted after the flush
The plant is now entering the stretch phase, and given its recovery, it should respond very positively.
โธป
๐ฎ Next Steps
In the coming days:
โข keep watering lightly
โข reintroduce nutrients gradually at the next watering
โข watch for the first pistils
โข let the stretch unfold naturally
Flowering is starting on a clean, healthy foundation โ exactly what you want for strong bud development.
