14.12. F43
General Overview
• Flower Day 43, deep into Week 6 of bloom.
• Overall performance remains very strong — nutrition, structure, bud development, and system stability are all on point.
• Despite ongoing airflow challenges, the grow will be taken all the way to harvest.
⸻
Airflow & Mildew Situation
• A second fan positioned low in the tent was added to push air upward through the canopy.
• While this improves circulation, it is still not enough to fully eliminate powdery mildew under these dense conditions.
• At this stage, the situation is accepted as damage control rather than prevention.
• Long-term, the lesson is clear: future runs will require even more internal circulation with multiple clip fans to constantly disrupt stagnant air pockets.
• For now, infected leaves continue to be removed manually to keep the buds as clean as possible.
⸻
Plant & Bud Development
• Buds are developing beautifully — dense, well-formed, and stacking nicely across all main colas.
• Resin production is increasing, and the plants remain visually healthy despite the mildew pressure.
• The canopy structure is strong and uniform, and the stretch has fully settled.
⸻
Feeding & System Performance
• Feeding is now aligned with Week 6 of the BioTabs flowering schedule, followed exactly as recommended.
• Nutrient uptake is flawless — no deficiencies, no excess, no imbalance.
• BioTabs continues to impress with its consistency and simplicity, especially when paired with the AutoPot automatic irrigation system.
• This combination has proven to be extremely reliable: steady moisture, steady nutrition, minimal intervention, maximum plant performance.
But now i need a dehumidification device?!
⸻
Looking Ahead
• The plan is to finish the run cleanly, maintain airflow as best as possible, and continue selective leaf removal.
• Harvest decisions will depend on how the mildew situation develops in the coming weeks.
• A full post-harvest deep clean is already planned to ensure the next cycle starts in a completely sterile environment.

🌸 Flower Day 43 Summary:
Week 6 of flower is running perfectly from a nutritional and system perspective. Buds look excellent, BioTabs + AutoPot perform flawlessly, and plant health remains strong. Powdery mildew is still present due to airflow limitations, but the grow will be carried through to harvest with careful management and aggressive sanitation afterward
