Flower - Week 3 (Days 15-21)
Week three was all about managing momentum. The stretch is still very real, and the canopy has been getting denser by the day—so my main goals were: keep airflow moving through the plant, keep tops positioned under the trellis, and keep the reservoir stable while she drinks hard.
I’m still doing regular top-offs and watching how the numbers move. Even when I top off with “plain” pH’d water, the EC behavior has been a bit weird - partly because my top-off water isn’t actually plain (it’s sitting around ~0.8 EC), and partly because the plant is clearly drinking a lot. EC has been running hot on paper, but the plant hasn’t shown classic overfeed stress - she’s stayed vigorous and healthy, with no meaningful clawing or widespread tip burn.
Training-wise, supercropping has been a win. I’ve bent a few tops to control height and keep the canopy even, and the branches have bounced back quickly - exactly what you want to see. I also did a proper cleanup underneath: lollipopping to remove lower growth that wasn’t going to amount to much and to open up the structure for airflow. The canopy still covers the whole tent, so even after the “haircut,” she should be capturing plenty of light where it matters.
Overall: she’s thriving, stretching hard, and starting to look like a real production plant now - dense top growth, strong structure, and a clean lower zone that should help reduce humidity pockets and improve bud development as flower stacks up.
