A few days ago, the plants endured a heatwave with temperatures averaging 34–36°C. I left them in the sun, and they seemed to take it well; they were visibly praying 🙏. The minor senescence visible in the canopy may be related to the heat, or it could simply be nutrient reallocation due to the current stage of development. I have increased my nitrogen levels by 0.2–0.3 EC (blue formula) since day 19 of bloom while maintaining the red formula. 🙂
In my earlier entry, I mentioned that the plants might be further along in bloom than officially logged; they were already in the light-deprivation transition window prior to the 12/12 switch (albeit only 10 hours of darkness). Consequently, the actual flower day is likely 33–34, which suggests they are prioritizing bud production over canopy health.
I’ve consistently observed this to be normal behavior for this specific phenotype :)
