Vegetation Week 16: Heatwave Endurance & Growth Surge
Update: 03.07.2025 | Day 118
Hey Growmies,
Week 16 tested limits with scorching temps, but the ladies laughed at 37°C. Growth went into hyperdrive – here’s the breakdown:
Heat Response
- Survived 37°C peaks without stress signs (no wilting, no leaf curl).
- Vertical explosion: ~20cm growth across both plants this week.
New feeding mix:
- 1 Biotab dissolved in 1.5L water → 50ml of this concentrate per 10L water + Bokashi juice. Result: Deep green vigor, zero deficiencies.
Strain-Specific Updates
Durban Poison:
- Now towering with explosive branching (new shoots from every main stem).
- Still vegging – no flowers yet. Easily clearing 170cm, on track for 2m+.
- Low odor (neighbor-friendly for now). Bud potential looks massive.
Blueberry:
- Healthy at 170cm but less dense than Durban.
- No pistils yet, no heat stress. Hopes high for autumn purples.
- Structure balanced and robust.
Pest & Health Check
- Zero issues. Leaves pristine top to bottom.
Next Steps
- Monitor flowering triggers (daylight still 15 hours).
- Continue Biotab/Bokashi mix weekly.
- Prepare taller supports for Durban’s final stretch.
Week 16 Takeaway
Genetics + adaptiveness = unstoppable growth. Durban’s a jungle queen, Blueberry a steady grower. Some rain would be good te rehydrate the soil.
Catch ya next week my friends.
