Week 5 – Balanced Bloom & Nutrient Adjustment (16 Oct – 23 Oct)
Budshot Betty keeps pushing forward in mid-bloom. The canopy is full and even, and the buds are starting to bulk up nicely.
I kept the light at 100W / 32cm, which gives her great intensity without any stress signs.
At the start of the week she received plain water (2.7 L) to reset the medium a bit and let the roots breathe. After that, I returned to her regular feeding but slightly modified the mix because I noticed a few small rust spots on some leaves. Since I can’t check pH directly, I decided to lower the nutrient strength by about 25% from the manufacturer’s chart.
Current feed (2.7 L water):
• Iguana Juice Bloom – 3 ml/L
• Ancient Earth OG Organics – 2 ml/L
• Big Bud OG Organics – 1.5 ml/L
• CalMag (BioBizz) – 1 ml/L
She looks healthy and vibrant again — the rust hasn’t spread, and the leaves stay strong and green. The buds are swelling, pistils multiplying, and the smell is getting more intense every day.
Overall, a calm and balanced week focused on stability and prevention rather than pushing too hard.
