Week 8 Update: Transition to Flowering 🌸✨
🌟 The Flowering Stage Begins 🌟
Welcome to Week 8! Big changes are happening in the grow room. This week marks the official switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage. With the light schedule now adjusted to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, the plants are entering the crucial phase where all the hard work of vegetative growth will start to pay off in the form of buds.
🌼 Flowering Transition 🌼
Light Schedule:
The light schedule has been reduced to 12 hours on and 12 hours off, which signals the plants to begin flowering.
I'm aiming to maintain a Daily Light Integral (DLI) of around 40 to optimize bud development.
Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞
Responding quickly to the light change, with the first signs of pre-flower pistils emerging.
The even canopy from LST will help the plant distribute energy effectively to multiple bud sites.
Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿
This compact, bushy plant is beginning to show signs of entering the flowering stage.
Its strong structure is set to support what should be a dense, resinous bud formation.
Blueberry Muffin 🥞
Continuing to exhibit robust growth, with the first signs of transition into flowering.
The dense frame developed during veg should result in a productive flowering stage.
🌱 Continuing Care 🌱
As the plants transition, I'll be adjusting their care to support this new phase:
Nutrient Adjustment: Shifting to a flowering-focused nutrient schedule with increased phosphorus and potassium to support bud formation, while gradually reducing nitrogen.
Environmental Control: Monitoring and adjusting temperature and humidity to ideal levels for flowering, ensuring the environment promotes healthy bud development.
Training & Defoliation: Continuing LST and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
🌸 Looking Forward 🌸
The plants are now in the flowering stage, and this is where the real magic happens. Over the next few weeks, we'll start to see bud sites develop and eventually swell into full, aromatic flowers. I'll be closely monitoring the plants to ensure they have everything they need for a successful bloom.
Stay tuned for next week's update as we dive deeper into the flowering phase!
Happy growing! 🌸💚

Week 5 (20/02 - 26/02)
I made no progress with the LST last week, hoping to do better the next grow. Some secondary branches developed more than usually but not as expected. I haven't been effective enough with the training.
The last day of the past week, the two fat banana moved into pre-flowering, while the blue cheese is still into vegetative stage.
During this week, I will start to add bio-bloom and top-max together with the bio-grow.
The light will be to 40 cm from top of the plants at 100% of its power. No changes to the heating/cooling parameters.
20/02 D28: -
21/02 D29: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. This evening, being secondary branches still flexible, I've tried to horizontally extend them with ropes in order to give them more light, let's see what happens in next two days.
22/02 D30: leafs sprayed with tap water
23/02 D31: watering day. 1 liter of tap water only each plant. Evening check: plants became thirsty; the soil seems to be almost dry even if I watered them this morning.
24/02 D32: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max.
25/02 D33: leafs sprayed with water. 1 liter of tap water each because they are growing and drinking a lot.
26/02 D34: Added to 2 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. They seem to grow well and faster. The blue cheese seems to be in pre-flowering, almost a week later than the two fat banana.

Entramos en la recta final de esta gran Gorilla Glue 🔥🔥
La plana está increible, cogollos super super compactos y lo mas sorprendente es que no para de sacar mas pistilos blancos para seguir engordando.
Voy a valorar una semana mas para ver el desarrollo de los cogollos y ver si merece la pena dejarla alguna semana mas incluso.
El riego ya está siendo unicamente con agua y poco mas para reducir la cantidad de nutrientes y empezar a limpiar raices.

Onto the next week of flower. Going on a short trip away for 2 days from 17-19th, so the reservoirs will be full before we leave.
Got back to more growth and had to raise the light up. Ladies looking great and getting big. We are a few days before lollipop so the tent is a bit humid but not bad. It will be easier to keep VPD at 1.2 after day 50 or so when some of that unneeded growth is out of there.
Lollipop done on 21st and 22nd. Next on 23rd to finish up. Things are getting frosty with the CropSalt Bloom nutrients.
Ladies didn't mind the haircut one bit
Buds are starting to swell!

Not going to lie, with everything going on in the world right now, taking pictures of the plants was not high on my priority list. I basically snapped a couple of pics and took a couple of videos today and decided that will be it. This is not the place to get political, but I truly hope that against all odds by the time of my next post peace will have returned to Ukraine. In terms of the grow, plants seem to be doing great. Over the past couple of days, the buds have started to fatten up to the point where I think my yield will at least be on par with the last run. I'm still giving her another 3-4 weeks before I think they'll be finished up, but it honestly could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks, just have to wait and see. On a side note the plants are becoming more and more different, to the point where they don't even look like the same pheno. One plant has airy, larfy buds but has made some progress over past 24 hours towards tightening up a bit. The other plant has these fat, dense, stocky nugs that look very much like an indica strain, we will see how this affects the harvest. Thanks as always for taking the time to read my update, hoping for a more cheery update next week.

Shes definetly beginning to pre flower. I quickly got some LST in so at least the lower branches will get more light. I hope it continues to stretch and fill in. I'm sure that she still has a lot of stretching to do. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

Week 8 – Stabilization & Transition to Flowering 🌸
This week marked a real turning point: after last week’s heavy intervention, the plant finally regained its balance and clearly showed that it was ready to move forward again.
No stress signs, no abnormalities — everything is back to normal.
The substrate reset did exactly what it needed to.
⸻
💧 Light Watering – Pure Water pH 6.2
To let the root zone fully stabilize, you chose the best possible approach:
✔️ only pH-adjusted water at 6.2
✔️ no nutrients added
This allowed the plant to:
• maintain a stable root environment
• avoid any risk of a new salt buildup
• use the remaining nutrients in the substrate
• recover natural and progressive nutrient uptake
The behavior of the substrate and the post-flush reaction confirm that balance has been fully restored.
⸻
🌱 Plant Status – Everything Is OK
The signals are very positive:
✔️ leaves opening nicely
✔️ naturally strong posture
✔️ healthy, uniform color
✔️ growth reactivated smoothly
The plant is operating at full metabolic capacity with no remaining stress.
It was clearly ready for the next step.
⸻
🌸 Switch to Flowering – Smooth Transition
With a stable, balanced, and vigorous plant, the transition was made with confidence:
👉 Official switch to 12/12 this week.
Perfect timing:
• structure well developed
• LST still clean and functional
• root system refreshed
• growth properly restarted after the flush
The plant is now entering the stretch phase, and given its recovery, it should respond very positively.
⸻
🔮 Next Steps
In the coming days:
• keep watering lightly
• reintroduce nutrients gradually at the next watering
• watch for the first pistils
• let the stretch unfold naturally
Flowering is starting on a clean, healthy foundation — exactly what you want for strong bud development.
⸻
✅ Conclusion – Calm Week, Successful Transition
After a difficult Week 7 but a perfectly executed rescue, Week 8 shows that everything is back under control:
• the plant is 100% recovered
• no signs of stress
• watering with pH 6.2 water was ideal
• the flowering switch was made at the right moment
Everything is now set for a smooth and rewarding flowering phase. 🌱✨

Originally I didn’t think I had much to update until I compared the plants photos at 7 days. The ff3’s have definitely responded better to their new home than the neighboring ff2. They are definitely getting a thicker stalk and adding more foliage. I started the week with a light dose of flora flex nutrients which is by weight rather than tea or tablespoon. They call for 1 gram of the v1 & v2 per gallon of water and I opted for 1 for the entire 6 gallons. But with no response I adjusted the ph and added a small amount of Cali magic and flora grow. On my previous rockwool multi time per day feeding I would have expected these to be twice the size at two weeks. Hopefully we get some explosive growth soon.

After drying, the hydro plant's bud smelled a little different. Considering the small amount and the bud rod that was cut away previously, I didn't want to risk anything and threw it away. So the harvest is just about the soil plant.
I dried the whole plant except larger fan leaves. As this was an outdoor-ish grew I don't have any specialised equipment. It just had to dry in the room, which averaged 24°C and 60% humidity, probably not ideal. After 10 days it was trimmed and finally weighed. Might still be a little wet though.
Final dry weight was 42g, after weighing in wet and untrimmed at 294g.
