🌿 Week 12: Symphony of Growth (Flower Week 7)
We’ve officially entered Week 7 of bloom, and the energy in the tent has shifted. The plants are no longer growing tall for the light; they are focusing all their remaining power into hardening those colas and finishing the resin production.
🎼 The Vltava Ritual
I’ve introduced a new element to the grow this week. Every morning, as the lights roar to life, I play "Vltava" (The Moldau) by Bedřich Smetana. They say plants react to vibrations, and what’s better for a flow of life than a classic masterpiece? It’s become a ritual—the rising sun of the LEDs accompanied by the rising strings of the symphony. The girls seem to love the high-class treatment!
❄️ Status: The Final Ripening
The Banana Purple Punch Auto is looking world-class. The frost has moved from the buds onto the sugar leaves, and the density is getting serious.
• Trichome Report: I'm seeing a sea of milky white heads. We are very close. I’ll be watching for that first 5-10% of amber to decide on the final flush.
• The Fade: The nitrogen yellowing we discussed last week has progressed, which is perfect. The plants are naturally depleting their stores, ensuring a clean, smooth smoke without that "chemical" green taste.
🛠️ Maintenance & Environment
• Defoliation Check: The air is moving freely through the canopy after my previous heavy leaf-stripping. No signs of moisture traps or stagnant air.
• RH: Kept strictly at 40-45%. In this stage, humidity is the enemy.
• Smell: Overpowering. A thick, sweet, fruity scent that hits you the moment the tent zips open.
Update- week 8 is finishing and that smell is insane, but trychoms are not even cloudy yet 😜😜😜
One love growmies 💚🇯🇲
