Purple Hints & Tent Transitions 🌸🌿
Week 4 of flower has arrived for my big Red Hot Cookies, and she’s now two weeks into her new life under the LED lights. After battling unpredictable weather out on the balcony, I made the call to bring her inside—and honestly, I don’t regret it one bit. The transition may have slowed her down a little, but it’s a much safer bet than letting her face another round of rainy chaos. 🌧️☔
She shares the tent with two Divine Seeds autos from the contest, so the light schedule remains at 16/8, which isn’t ideal for photoperiod flowering—but I’m curious to see how she handles it. Despite the slightly delayed bud development, I’m seeing some beautiful structure forming and her leaves have started to take on those signature purple hues. 🍇💜
Here’s her care routine this week:
🔸 Fed with BioBizz Grow, CalMag, BioBizz Bloom and BioBizz Top-Max
🔸 Effective Microorganisms to keep the soil biology strong
🔸 A dose of homebrewed compost tea midweek
🔸 Silica foliar spray was stopped when flowering began
🔸 pH: 6.5
🔸 EC: 2.2 mS/cm
I also did a round of lollipopping on day 21 (July 10th), and she’s stayed nice and airy underneath since then. Still waiting for the upper buds to really start packing on weight, but there’s plenty of time—and I’m loving the color shifts and her elegant frame.
Let’s see what the next few weeks bring as she fully settles into bloom under the tent glow. 🌞✨
