Environment's come back into line. Outside temps dropped, so the extraction was pulling cold air and RH was bottoming at 51%. Added a Vivosun W70 heater to take the edge off incoming air—nothing fancy, just warming it up so the room sits where it should: 24°C. I set a target temp with a max and a minimum and it will sit in the happy zone,upping the temp also raises rh nudging toward that 58% im aiming for but with Minimal fuss.
I've decided to add a 6-inch inline fan at the back of the room too,this is pointing up through the AL's lower canopy. The North ThumderFuck is not as chunky as the AL so it not needed so much there.just need to keep getting enough air movement underneath, and botrytis likes the small micro pockets of humidity I have foind ,so an extra push keeps it breathing.
Trichomes are mostly cloudy now with amber starting to show. Pistils pulling back. Images show the resin's thick—primary flowers are loaded, secondary sites getting the amber creep. This phenotype just wants to finish. I feel I'm looking at maybe 5-7 days before she's ready.
Structure's solid. The lowers chunked up decent despite the uneven light.
I've deployed a brace of String to maintain shape and it's al holding the weight fine. Nothing's stressed.
Leaves are doing what they should. Older growth yellowing, plant's pulling nitrogen down into the flowers. That's maturation and not a problem. It's funny because a year ago. Would.b.trying to solve this yellowing and would undoubtedly do more harm then good. It's nice o see a leveling up within myself. Not something I'll often vocalise.
Lights are running as whites on a 12/12 giving 33 DLI. In addition I have my reds coming on 5 minutes before the main cycle and then they stay on for 6 hours. They then common atlights off for 10 minutes to put everything to sleep.
The NTF is a lot slower but more stable hen the AL. I think of I have.4 phenos of NTF they would all finish in the same window wit similar traits and size. The AL on the othehan I think I would get 4 different characters. All from the same family but unique in their own way.. not a bad thing. Just an observation.
As it's the last week I skipped the Bactrex feed—makes sense. Too late for the microbes to settle in and work. The substrate's already done its job.
All I need to do is just keep the environment steady and let her finish.
