Week 8 ā Stabilization & Transition to Flowering šø
This week marked a real turning point: after last weekās heavy intervention, the plant finally regained its balance and clearly showed that it was ready to move forward again.
No stress signs, no abnormalities ā everything is back to normal.
The substrate reset did exactly what it needed to.

š§ Light Watering ā Pure Water pH 6.2
To let the root zone fully stabilize, you chose the best possible approach:
āļø only pH-adjusted water at 6.2
āļø no nutrients added
This allowed the plant to:
⢠maintain a stable root environment
⢠avoid any risk of a new salt buildup
⢠use the remaining nutrients in the substrate
⢠recover natural and progressive nutrient uptake
The behavior of the substrate and the post-flush reaction confirm that balance has been fully restored.
āø»
š± Plant Status ā Everything Is OK
The signals are very positive:
āļø leaves opening nicely
āļø naturally strong posture
āļø healthy, uniform color
āļø growth reactivated smoothly
The plant is operating at full metabolic capacity with no remaining stress.
It was clearly ready for the next step.

šø Switch to Flowering ā Smooth Transition
With a stable, balanced, and vigorous plant, the transition was made with confidence:
š Official switch to 12/12 this week.
Perfect timing:
⢠structure well developed
⢠LST still clean and functional
⢠root system refreshed
⢠growth properly restarted after the flush
The plant is now entering the stretch phase, and given its recovery, it should respond very positively.

š® Next Steps
In the coming days:
⢠keep watering lightly
⢠reintroduce nutrients gradually at the next watering
⢠watch for the first pistils
⢠let the stretch unfold naturally
Flowering is starting on a clean, healthy foundation ā exactly what you want for strong bud development.
