Hello again, Growdiaries family! 😎
We have officially entered the flowering stage, and the transformation is becoming visible day by day. My Critical has reacted to the 12/12 flip with impressive vigor, showing that all the work during the vegetative stage was worth it.
📏 Evolution & Stretch: The plant has reached 24 cm today. The internodal spacing is stretching just as expected, and the 4 main colas are starting to aim for the light with more intensity. The canopy remains remarkably uniform.
✂️ Applied Techniques:
Final Canopy Check: No more high-stress training. I’m letting the plant focus all its energy on flower development.
Airflow & Structure: Thanks to the previous thinning, air is moving perfectly through the center and around the fasciated stem, which is crucial now that humidity needs to be kept in check.
Visual Update: From now on, all the images I upload will be from the last day of the week (today) to show the most up-to-date progress.
💧 Watering & Nutrition:
Volume: 1 Liter of water.
The Bloom Cocktail: Today I fed her with a balanced mix: 1 ml/L Bio-Grow (to sustain the stretch), 1 ml/L Bio-Bloom, and 1 ml/L Top-Max.
Temperature: Still using lukewarm water (approx. 21°C) to keep the roots comfortable in the terrace environment.
🌤️ Environment:
Lighting: QBK1500PLUS with the Bloom switch ON (adding Red/IR spectrum). I’m keeping the 100% intensity at a 56 cm distance to maximize photosynthesis.
Bunker Stats: Temperature remains stable at 27°C (ON) and 18°C (OFF). The double-tent insulation is doing a great job against the cold outside.
Aroma: The 'fresh green' scent is turning slightly more complex and sweet.
Summary: The plant is healthy, praying to the light, and starting to show the first signs of pre-flowers. The structure is solid enough to support the future buds. Now, we wait for the real stretch!
Thanks for your support and happy growing! 😉👍
