End of Week 7 – The Ripening Phase Begins! ❄️🚀 We are slowly cruising down the home stretch! Reaching the end of Week 7, the tent is looking absolute top-tier—the buds are packing on serious density, and resin production is running at full throttle. Time to adjust the parameters step-by-step to optimize the final ripening process. Current Values & Adjustments This Week: Lighting (PPFD): To ease the plants into their final phase and prevent stress, light intensity was dropped down from higher levels to 800 to 600 PPFD. Light Cycle: The photoperiod was reduced by 1 hour to simulate the late-summer transition. EC Level: Successfully brought down from 1.9 to 1.2 this week. We will drop it even lower next week to slowly flush out the medium. pH Level: Stable at 5.8 in the coco medium. A Look Inside the Lab (What the Photos & Videos Show): As visible in the latest media, the setup inside the AutoPot system with the perlite top-layer is running rock-steady. The colas are cleanly trained, well-supported, and allow for excellent airflow through the lower canopy. The buds show a dense, compact structure accompanied by heavy pre-resin frosting, while the entire canopy enjoys a beautifully even light distribution. The final sprint is underway. Next week, we’ll scale down the nutrients further and prep everything for the grand finale! 🌿✨
