🌸 Flowering Week 4 Bud Expansion & Resin Initiation Eternity Grow Cup 2026 | Sticky Broccoli Feminized Stage: Flowering Phase Week 4 Day: ~Day 30 since 12/12 switch 🌡️ Environmental Stability Flower Week 4 continued under highly stable environmental conditions, allowing the plants to fully focus on flower production and resin development. - Temperature: stable around ~26°C - Humidity: optimized for mid-flower conditions - Lighting: 720W full power - Airflow: consistent across the canopy At this stage, maintaining consistency has become the key priority. 🌿 Plant Development and Transition Into Production The plants have now fully transitioned beyond stretch and are focusing their energy on: - Bud expansion - Flower stacking - Resin production Bud sites across the SCROG canopy continue to increase in size, with noticeably improved structure and density formation compared to previous weeks. The canopy remains highly even, allowing efficient light distribution across all flowering sites. ✂️ Canopy Maintenance Only minimal maintenance was required this week. Occasionally, individual fan leaves were removed when blocking light from developing bud sites. Approach: - Low-stress canopy management - Preserve maximum photosynthetic capacity - Maintain airflow and light penetration without over-defoliating This controlled approach allows the plants to remain fully focused on flower production. 🍵 Feeding & Nutrient Stability The nutrient schedule remained unchanged and continues to perform exceptionally well. Current feeding strategy - Hy-Pro nutrient program maintained - Plagron Green Sensation continued as part of the flowering regimen The plants continue to display: -Strong nutrient uptake -Healthy coloration -No visible deficiencies or excess symptoms The overall plant condition remains highly vigorous and balanced. 🌸 Bud Development & Resin Observation Flower Week 4 marks the beginning of visibly increased resin activity. Current observations: -Buds are becoming thicker and more structured -Early trichome production is clearly visible -Flower sites are beginning to connect across upper branches -Aroma intensity is gradually increasing While the major swelling phase is still ahead, the plants are now clearly transitioning into full flower production mode. 🥦Strain Observation Sticky Broccoli Sticky Broccoli continues to demonstrate: -Excellent canopy uniformity -Strong flower site distribution -Consistent phenotype expression across all four plants -High resilience and nutrient efficiency The genetic stability remains highly impressive throughout the flowering phase. 🧠 Weekly Reflection & Forward Plan Focus this week: Maintaining stability while allowing the plants to naturally direct energy into flower and resin production. At this stage, less intervention is proving highly effective. The plants appear fully comfortable within their environment and continue progressing without signs of stress. Next steps: -Monitor increasing bud density -Observe trichome progression closely -Maintain environmental consistency -Prepare for upcoming swelling phase 📸 Weekly Summary Flowering Week 4 was defined by stability, healthy flower expansion, and the beginning of visible resin production. With the canopy fully established and the feeding strategy performing as intended, the plants are now entering the highly anticipated bulk and swelling phase. The structure built over previous weeks is now translating directly into productive flower development. See you in Flower Week 5 Swelling Phase Begins 🌸✨
