๐๐ซ๐๐ธ Yesterday did not make it into the diary; alas, sudden tasks have pulled me away from our usual routine. ๐
In this disruption, life's ๐ซ unexpected demands have interrupted the flow, yet the ๐ธ flowering continues to thrive vigorously.
๐โณ๐๐๐ I have now reached the 14/10 light schedule and am delightedly watching the process unfold. ๐ Adjusting the daylight hours gradually, I believe we have successfully initiated an irreversible transition. ๐ With eager ๐, I watch as our champion plant responds, and ๐ time will reveal if our simulation of the day's shortening has indeed tipped the scales.

๐ธ๐๐๐๐ฑ The flowering is developing slowly and gradually. ๐ธ As we carefully observe, the ๐ pace ensures that each stage of growth is closely monitored. ๐ There's a hope that with the cessation of reducing light hours, the plant ๐ does not revert to its vegetative state.

๐ธ๐๐ฌ๐ง As of today, there are no particular updates โ the flowering continues organically. ๐
The natural progression of ๐ธ flowering is unhindered, and the nutrient supply scheme has been ๐ adjusted to better meet the specific needs during this phase.
๐ฑ๐ก๐ฟ๐ฐ I continue to work with low doses of various fertilizers, aiming to ensure that the availability of different micronutrients allows for their passive absorption. ๐ฑ By maintaining a cautious approach with ๐ก carefully measured nutrients, we encourage the plant ๐ฟ to absorb what it needs effortlessly, while minimizing the energy ๐ฐ spent on active uptake. This strategy optimizes growth without overstressing our plant.

๐๐ฟ๐๐ค๐ฆ The growth in height continues. ๐ As the ๐ฟ plant stretches upwards, I sincerely hope ๐ค that I won't have to increase the height of this ๐ฆ grow box again. The upward ๐ trend is promising, yet it challenges the confines of our current setup.

๐ฟ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ค I see it necessary to introduce some measure of photosynthesis efficiency. ๐ฟ 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. ๐ง The efficiency of ๐ฌ photosynthesis could potentially be quantified in such a way, offering a direct metric to evaluate.
๐ฑ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง 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. ๐ฑ Understanding that ๐ฆ water is vital, we must ๐ discern how much is used for ๐ photosynthesis versus what is expended on transpiration ๐งโa complex task that requires precise measurement and interpretation.

๐ท๐ฟโจ Currently, there are no new thoughts or ideas, I'll just post a photo of another day. ๐ค Daily progression ๐
of our grow is captured in a ๐ท snapshot, showcasing the ๐ฟ plant's ongoing journey and the simple โจ beauty of another day in the life cycle.

๐ฑ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐ฟ Yesterday, I increased the watering to 8 liters. ๐ฑ With this boost in ๐ง hydration, I am aiming for a significant ๐ enhancement in the plantโs ๐ฟ photosynthetic activity.
๐ฆ๐๐ฑ๐ง๏ธ๐ Increasing water should accelerate the opportunities for photosynthesis, but it also raises the humidity, which may lead to mold formation. ๐ฆ With increased hydration, the plant enjoys a ๐ vibrant photosynthetic environment, yet we must remain vigilant as the ๐ง๏ธ moisture could foster less desirable conditions, necessitating careful ๐ monitoring.
๐ ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ฟ๐๐ I anticipate that changes to the ventilation system will allow me to complete the growth cycle this time around. ๐ ๏ธ Adjusting the ๐ฌ๏ธ airflow and climate control, we strive to optimize the environment for our ๐ฟ plant, setting the stage for a successful ๐ cycle completion and crossing the ๐ finish line with robust growth.
