Week 8: The Bakery is Open! 🎂👃
The Update: We are officially in full bloom mode! If last week was about the frost starting, this week is all about the bulk. The Wedding Cake is living up to her name the smell is getting sweeter, heavier, and definitely more pungent.
Bud Development: The PK 13-14 is doing its magic. The colas are visibly swelling day by day, and the calyxes are stacking up beautifully. The "popcorn" buds lower down are hardening up thanks to that defoliation last week. Most pistils are still white, but I'm spotting a few starting to turn amber/orange as she matures.
Nutrients & Care: Continuing with the "heavy hitter" mix:
Bio-Bloom & Top-Max: keeping the sugars high.
PK 13-14: pushing that density.
Environment: Temps are steady at 25°C. I'm keeping a very close watch on humidity (aiming to drop it slightly below 65% if possible) to keep mold away from these chunky flowers.
Next Steps: Just letting her bake! The structure is set, now it's just a waiting game for them to ripen. ⏳
