This week marked the start of the flowering phase as the light cycle was switched to 12/12, officially initiating bloom 🌸
For the first few days the plant continued normal vegetative growth, with the stretch becoming noticeable after about 3 days.
By the end of the week the plant had already gained noticeable height and the early stretch phase was clearly underway.
• Stretch beginning after ~3 days
• Canopy mostly even with only one branch slightly leading
• First few white pistils visible toward the end of the week
Light intensity was increased to ~750 PPFD ☀️ and the fixture was raised slightly to maintain proper distance as the plant began stretching.
Watering increased slightly as the plant entered the flowering transition:
• ~3L every 2–3 days based on pot weight 💧
Feeding this week:
• 1x BioTabs Bio PK
• Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag
Environment remained stable:
• ~25°C temperature
• ~55% RH 🌡️
The plant remained healthy with balanced structure and deep green foliage.
The topping from earlier veg clearly paid off, as the canopy remained fairly even going into the stretch phase.
Overall this week marks a smooth transition into bloom with the first signs of stretch and flower initiation 🍩🔥
