🌿 week 7 Update: Frost & Fire! ❄️🔥
We are officially moving into the "sweet spot" of the flowering phase! The tent is starting to smell incredible, and the girls are putting in some serious work. If you look closely at those bud sites, the trichome production is kicking into high gear, giving everything that beautiful, frosty shimmer we’ve been waiting for.
The Feeding Strategy
This week, I’m leaning heavily into the bloom boosters to ensure these colas have everything they need to swell up. Here is the current cocktail:
Bio-Bloom (BioBizz): 2 ml/L – Keeping those base flowering nutrients steady.
Top-Max (BioBizz): 1 ml/L – Stimulating cell division and increasing sugar production.
PK 13-14 (Plagron): 2 ml/L – The "heavy hitter" for this stage to add some serious density.
📈 Progress Report
The Stretch: It looks like the vertical stretch has finally stabilized, and the plants are now focusing 100% of their energy on bud development.
Canopy Check: I’ve been performing some light defoliation to make sure light is reaching the lower bud sites. Airflow is key right now to prevent any moisture buildup in those thickening clusters.
Flower Development: The pistils are still mostly white and reaching out, meaning we still have plenty of swelling left to do.
Grower’s Note: Keep an eye on the leaf tips! With the addition of the PK 13-14, I'm watching closely for any signs of nutrient burn, but so far, the girls are drinking it up like champs.
📸 What’s Next?
The plan for the coming days is to maintain a steady environment and keep the pH dialed in. I’ll be watching the buds get thicker and stickier by the hour.
