Week 8 | ποΈ Days 50β56 β Start of week 9 | first signs of flowering πΈ
Day 56 - Papayton ππ
πΈ Very vigorous this week: broad, even canopy with lots of tops; the stem is solid with nice βknucklesβ from training. Lower shoots are tidy β air and light are getting through well. Leaves are rich green, upright, and without burns. The first pistils are appearing at the nodes and tips β the transition to flowering has begun.
πΈ Setup: on 12/12 since day 50. With ~700 PPFD approx. DLI β 30 mol/mΒ²/day β ideal for stretch/transition. Maintain a distance of ~40 cm and adjust during stretch. Over the next few days, I will increase to approximately 900 PPFD.
πΈBiotabs & water only: continue as before. Keep pH at around 6.2, maintain even moisture (no hard drybacks). Only add more if there are clear signs of deficiency β otherwise, don't force anything.
πΈIn week 9, small flower clusters should form; if necessary, lightly defoliate and provide support sticks/trellis so that the tops can start cleanly.
