Hello Growmies, As we enter the ninth week with our Caramel cultivars, it's clear that stability and uniformity are the hallmarks of this strain. They've displayed a consistency in growth patterns that has made them stand out among their peers in the tent. Their resilience is commendable, and the garden has become a testament to these plants' innate robustness. Plant #1, #2, and #3 each continue their journey with a unique charm. The uniform growth pattern they've maintained is impressive, offering a beautiful spectacle of symmetry and vitality. Despite being slightly behind the expert setup plants in terms of bud development, the spacing and the emerging pistils are indicators of the bountiful blooms to come. The feeding regimen has continued without interruption, and the Caramels have responded well to the nurturing they've received. The SCROG technique has been instrumental in crafting an evenly distributed canopy, which has allowed for optimum light penetration and air flow, setting the stage for an even and abundant flowering phase. The environmental conditions remain precisely controlled, and the Caramels are basking in the glow of the PPFD levels, absorbing all the energy required for their imminent flowering burst. It's a dance of light and life that we witness each day, with each plant inching closer to its peak potential. While the Caramels are a bit behind in bud formation, the foundations are robust. The little fuzzy formations that are beginning to take shape are promising signs of the rich harvest that awaits. As the plants transition further into the flowering stage, we expect to see a significant increase in trichome production and bud density. In the realm of the grow tent, these Caramels are indeed my favorites, displaying the attributes of a well-cared-for crop: robustness, consistency, and potential. We will continue our diligent care and precise environmental adjustments to usher these plants through to a successful harvest. As always, it's the collective wisdom of this community that elevates our cultivation practices. Together, we nurture, we learn, and we grow. Stay lifted, Salokin
