Week 9 - Fourth Week of Flower
The Donutz gang is hitting its stride as the fourth week of flower unfolds. Trichomes are developing beautifully, and the plants are entering full production mode. A few challenges cropped up this week, but quick thinking and some DIY ingenuity kept everything on track.
Key Updates:
Trichome Progress: The resin glands are popping off, with a frosty layer forming across the developing buds. The plants are starting to show their true potential, and the tent is starting to smell.
New Fan Installation: The old ventilator tapped out this week, so a replacement was installed to maintain proper airflow. This ensures the plants stay cool and prevents any issues with humidity or stagnant air.
Lamp Adjustment: The front-left plant shot up too close to the light, so I had to get creative. I built a DIY solution to raise the lamp higher, ensuring even coverage and preventing light stress.
Accident Recovery:
During the light adjustment, I initially tried securing the front-left plant with a rubber band. Concerned it might melt, I removed it, but in the process, the main stem got damaged. Thankfully, the plant is a fighter. The main cola is now growing sideways but remains fully healthy and strong. This unexpected twist has added some character to the tent, and the plant is bouncing back beautifully.
Observations:
Despite the challenges, all plants are thriving, with strong growth and healthy bud development.
The sideways-growing cola on the front-left plant is a unique highlight, showing the resilience of the Donutz genetics.
Next Steps:
Keep monitoring airflow and light height to avoid any further issues.
Continue with the nutrient schedule and reverse osmosis (RO) watering to maintain stability.
Watch the trichomes closely as they continue to mature, signaling the start of the final phases of flower.
The Florida Gang grind is real, and the Donutz are proving their worth week after week. This tent is shaping up to be a legendary grow!
