The Mandarine Cream is in its second week of flowering and is stretching incredibly. The plant is growing nonstop, and the buds are swelling beautifully. The aroma is becoming extremely strong, shifting to a more citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit. The plant is healthy and looking great.
Ambient Conditions: This week started off warm (with a minimum of 23ºC and a maximum of 30ºC), but a cold front has brought the temperatures down again (with a minimum of 11ºC and a maximum of 20ºC). Humidity remains quite low, around 30-35%.
Training: I’ve kept the main apical tied down, which has resulted in 12 colas. Other than that, I haven’t done any additional training or defoliation.
Fertilization: I applied one final dose of nitrogen this week and nothing else.
Pest Control: The Beauveria treatments continue, and I no longer have any issues with the fungus gnats that had appeared.
Watering: I’ve been watering the plant very minimally, as the substrate has been staying moist on its own.
Looking Forward: From here on, there’s not much left to do except let the flowering progress and enjoy the results.
