Week 4 – Flowering (Day 22–28) 🌸🌱
At the end of Week 3 (Day 21) we carried out a deeper round of defoliation and some lollipopping. By now the stretch is coming to an end, with the plants settling close to their final height.
We’ve also stopped foliar feeding, since every single plant is now covered in developing buds. To keep everything protected, we refreshed the beneficial insects, better be safe than sorry, how we say in German, sicher ist sicher.
Already in this early stage of flowering, we can clearly spot differences in structure, bud formation and even the first aromas. Some phenos are showing exceptional promise — those will be the ones we’ll highlight more in the coming updates.
🔎 Pheno notes so far:
ZR 43 – very nice structure, already showing early bud size.
ZR 68 – robust side branching, healthy development.
ZR 70 – compact flowers, stacking well.
ZR 82 – tall, vigorous growth, strong flower initiation.
ZR 30 - Fasciation, looks very interesting, I'm quite interested on how it ends up looking, having mutations like these in the grow room are not necessarily what one is looking for commercially speaking but for me is quite special, like a Zoap Rosé special edition! 😝
Zoap Rose phenos bring floral aromas with acrid undertones, giving them a distinctive edge already at this stage.
