Week 9 update (bloom stacking):
The girls are now deep in flower production 🌸 Buds are swelling up, calyxes are stacking, and trichome coverage is increasing every day. Some lower fan leaves are starting to fade naturally – energy is going straight into flowers.
Nutrients this week:
• Hesi Bloom Complex – reduced slightly (plants don’t need much N anymore).
• Hesi PK 13/14 – full dose this week to push bud swelling.
• Athena Bloom – kept steady, nitrogen almost phased out.
• CalMag – still at 1 ml/L for stability.
• Silic Rock – optional, very small amount just for structure.
• Total feed: around 900–1000 ppm (depending on strain response).
Observations:
• Buds are thickening and starting to harden – Runtz especially looks frosty and compact.
• Amnesia autos building longer, airier colas, but stacking nicely.
• Trichomes visible even on sugar leaves – frost levels increasing daily.
• Some phenos already show slight amber pistils, others still mostly white.
• Smell is much stronger now – fruity, skunky and sweet terp mix filling the tent.
Training / Canopy work:
• Minimal defoliation – just a few leaves blocking budsites.
• Canopy is stable, no more LST needed – just letting colas fatten.
Plan:
• Keep PK booster for 1 more week (Week 10 will be the last push).
• Start slowly thinking about the flush window – depending on trichome check.
• Watch humidity – buds are dense, risk of mold increases.
• Within 2–3 weeks plants should be at peak ripeness.
