Weekly Update: Dialing it back in and managing the stress! 📊
This week has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but we are back on track! 🚀
Current Setup & Metrics:
pH: 5.7 💧
EC: 1.8
PPFD: 700 💡
What happened this week?
We ran into some visible stress symptoms on the leaves because my EC meter broke, which caused the nutrient strength to secretly spike up to 2.3 EC for about two days. As you can see, the girls didn't love that high-concentration shock, but we caught it, replaced the meter, and stabilized the EC right back down to 1.8. 📉
Plant Development & Bud Structure:
Despite the brief hiccup, they are pushing through the flower phase nicely, though they are showing different structures:
The first plant is forming very airy colas at the top, but looking significantly denser and tighter as you move further down the branches. 🌲
The more compact plant is developing exceptionally well overall, putting out really solid, compact, and frosty buds. ❄️
Now that the parameters are locked back in at 700 PPFD and 1.8 EC, we are ready for a smooth cruise through the rest of bloom! Let's see how they swell up. 🔥
