Week 6 is wrapped up and the plant is showing great vitality. Although the light intensity has stayed nearly the same, water consumption has increased massively and is now over 1.3 liters per day. I watered three times in total. I reduced the pH of the nutrient solution from 5.9 to 5.8 with an EC of 1.8 to counteract the slightly higher runoff pH of 6.3 and keep the medium stable.
The Wedding Cheesecake is now in full stretch and is growing about 2 cm taller every day. She currently stands at just over 30 cm from the soil level. Flowering has progressed significantly and white hairs are visible everywhere.
Since the plant is now growing as close as 20 cm to the lamp, the PPFD value at 90 percent power is currently between 600 and 700.
It is starting to get very crowded in the tent as the foliage is quite expansive and already touching the walls. To avoid stressing the plant unnecessarily during the stretch, I have only selectively removed small side shoots to ensure energy is directed to the main buds. A more thorough thinning to optimize air circulation is planned once the stretch is over.
Despite the strong growth, there is still plenty of vertical room in the tent. I am very curious to see the final height.
