šš«ššø Yesterday did not make it into the diary; alas, sudden tasks have pulled me away from our usual routine. š
In this disruption, life's š« unexpected demands have interrupted the flow, yet the šø flowering continues to thrive vigorously.
šā³ššš I have now reached the 14/10 light schedule and am delightedly watching the process unfold. š Adjusting the daylight hours gradually, I believe we have successfully initiated an irreversible transition. š With eager š, I watch as our champion plant responds, and š time will reveal if our simulation of the day's shortening has indeed tipped the scales.

šøšššš± The flowering is developing slowly and gradually. šø As we carefully observe, the š pace ensures that each stage of growth is closely monitored. š There's a hope that with the cessation of reducing light hours, the plant š does not revert to its vegetative state.

šøšš¬š§ As of today, there are no particular updates ā the flowering continues organically. š
The natural progression of šø flowering is unhindered, and the nutrient supply scheme has been š adjusted to better meet the specific needs during this phase.
š±š”šæš° I continue to work with low doses of various fertilizers, aiming to ensure that the availability of different micronutrients allows for their passive absorption. š± By maintaining a cautious approach with š” carefully measured nutrients, we encourage the plant šæ to absorb what it needs effortlessly, while minimizing the energy š° spent on active uptake. This strategy optimizes growth without overstressing our plant.

ššæšš¤š¦ The growth in height continues. š As the šæ plant stretches upwards, I sincerely hope š¤ that I won't have to increase the height of this š¦ grow box again. The upward š trend is promising, yet it challenges the confines of our current setup.

šæšš§š¬š¤ I see it necessary to introduce some measure of photosynthesis efficiency. šæ Considering the available measurements of light and water, this ratio could be directly expressed as the utilization of water in photosynthetic reactions per unit of energy. š§ The efficiency of š¬ photosynthesis could potentially be quantified in such a way, offering a direct metric to evaluate.
š±š¦ššš§ However, the challenge lies in the fact that plants use water not only for photosynthesis. A significant portion of the water consumed, according to scientific knowledge, leaves the plant through transpiration. š± Understanding that š¦ water is vital, we must š discern how much is used for š photosynthesis versus what is expended on transpiration š§āa complex task that requires precise measurement and interpretation.

š·šæāØ Currently, there are no new thoughts or ideas, I'll just post a photo of another day. š¤ Daily progression š
of our grow is captured in a š· snapshot, showcasing the šæ plant's ongoing journey and the simple āØ beauty of another day in the life cycle.

š±š§ššæšæ Yesterday, I increased the watering to 8 liters. š± With this boost in š§ hydration, I am aiming for a significant š enhancement in the plantās šæ photosynthetic activity.
š¦šš±š§ļøš Increasing water should accelerate the opportunities for photosynthesis, but it also raises the humidity, which may lead to mold formation. š¦ With increased hydration, the plant enjoys a š vibrant photosynthetic environment, yet we must remain vigilant as the š§ļø moisture could foster less desirable conditions, necessitating careful š monitoring.
š ļøš¬ļøšæšš I anticipate that changes to the ventilation system will allow me to complete the growth cycle this time around. š ļø Adjusting the š¬ļø airflow and climate control, we strive to optimize the environment for our šæ plant, setting the stage for a successful š cycle completion and crossing the š finish line with robust growth.
