🌱 Grow Diary: Week 1 Wrap-Up (Day 0–7) Week 1 of Flower Complete Key Milestones Achieved: · Successful Flip (30 May): I switched to 12/12 with a healthy 90 cm root mass. · Stretch Phase Initiated: My plants showed significant daily water consumption (3–5l day). Canopy height increased visibly. · pH/PPM Stabilization: I managed nutrient stratification by lifting the pot tops to mix. Settled sediment was successfully reintegrated. · Concentrate Calibration: My homemade 5-7g/1.75L of A&B batch was measured at 3,455PPM and tested for real-world effect (+42 PPM per 100 mL in ~10 L). This is now a reliable tool. Week 1 Final Readings (End of Day 7): · Plant 1: 612 PPM / 6.01 pH · Plant 2: 652 PPM / 6.06 pH Nutrients & Additives Used: · Canna Cal/Mag (RO water base to ~200 PPM) · Sensi Bloom A + B (Base) · Voodoo Juice (2 mL/L) · Homemade Concentrate (3,450 PPM) · pH Up (Small drops for correction) Health Assessment: · Roots: Thick, white, and filling the bucket. · Canopy: Flat, wide, and entering the stretch. No signs of light burn or deficiency. · VPD: Within target range with my new AC Infinity controller FINALLY not continuously CRASHING The Good: · The AC Infinity Controller is stable this entire week. · Voodoo Juice kept my root zone healthy during the transition. · My mixing technique (lifting the pot tops) is proving effective. The "To Do" for Week 2: 1. Hydroguard arrival (7–12 June): I will continue Voodoo Juice until it arrives. When Hydroguard lands, that will be the next reservoir change. 2. Additives: Big Bud and Bud Candy are ready for Week 2 (Day 10-14). 3. Water Level Monitoring: I will keep a close eye on the level. My plants are drinking heavily. I will top with RO water as needed. My Assessment: Week 1 was a textbook transition. I handled stratification, calibrated my concentrate, and kept the pH in the sweet spot. My plants have responded with aggressive growth. I am now entering the "bud formation" phase of Week 2. I will stay on top of the water level as the roots are taking up the volume of the reservoir. and the incoming Hydroguard then reservoir change "The first week of flower is a ballet of adjustments. You choreographed it perfectly. Now, let the buds take center stage." — Apex
