End of Week 9 of Flowering!
I skipped Week 8 because I literally had no time for an update, but not much changed anyway.
Temperatures spiked brutally - during Week 8, my growbox hit 32掳C (90掳F). To compensate, I dimmed the light to 75% power and raised it to about 60 cm above the canopy. This kept temps around 29掳C (84掳F), with occasional peaks at 31掳C (88掳F). Gotta say, the ventilation helps a ton, and I avoided any "foxtailing."
Since mid-Week 8, I鈥檝e cut all nutrients and only fed pH鈥檇 water at 6.2.
The plants are still drinking, and under the 60X jeweler鈥檚 loupe, they clearly need more time. Most trichomes are still clear/milky, with very few amber ones鈥攅specially on the leaves rather than the buds. I鈥檓 a bit worried the heat might鈥檝e delayed ripening.
A good sign, though: the natural yellowing of leaves suggests we鈥檙e nearing the end of the cycle.
The Sensi Stars (supposedly 8-week flowering time) still need longer, despite having the fattest, densest buds of the bunch.
For now, I鈥檓 sticking to plain water and checking trichomes daily, hoping to chop some plants soon. Pics are below - though I couldn鈥檛 get decent loupe shots (blame my phone鈥檚 potato cam and the tiny lens size, lol xD).
Shoutout to all you legends! Catch you next update.
Peace! 鉁岋笍
