By the end of week 15 from seed, the plants are doing great. The 400W HPS lamp, paired with a ventilated reflector, keeps the grow box at a pleasant 23°C. Temperatures did hit 28–31°C for a couple of days, but the heat has since subsided, and the plants are very comfortable now.
During the hot spell, the Hydro-Easy system was consuming 2–4 liters of nutrient solution per day. I’ve been using Snoop’s Bloom RO (parts A and B), Hesi PowerZyme, and PK 13/14. Since the second component of the Snoop’s line contains calcium, there’s no need to add extra CalMag.
Eight excellent main colas have formed, and the central buds are also nearly fully mature. I’m waiting for the plant to finish ripening—once its water consumption drops, I’ll switch to plain water for the final flush before harvest.
The aroma is strong, and the leaves are covered in trichomes ("sugar"). Earlier this week,
I applied Simplex Power stimulator as a foliar spray to boost sugar production.
