¡Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎
We have officially entered Week 12 and the Critical is in its moment of maximum glory. The 40 cm structure is fully loaded with dense and sticky flowers. This week has focused on maintaining stability while the resin finishes covering every corner.
📏 Measurements & Training
-Height: 40 cm. Vertical growth has completely stopped, with all energy now focused on the hardness and weight of the buds.
-Canopy Management: The defoliation from previous weeks has been a total success. Light penetrates all the way to the base of the branches, and the lower buds are almost as compact as the tops.
-Visual Check: Under white light, the plant looks like a scene out of a frozen movie. Trichomes are now mostly milky, and we are starting to see the first amber spots.
🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges
-Temperature: We are maintaining 16°C at night and 27°C during the day.
-The Strategy: I remain faithful to watering with lukewarm water. In this final phase, keeping the roots comfortable is vital so the plant doesn't shut down and continues maturing the terpenes.
-Humidity (RH): Controlled at 40%. With the density the buds have now, I'm not taking any risks with mold or fungi.
💧 Watering & Organic Strategy
-Nutrient Strategy: Final doses of Biobizz: Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 3ml, and Top-Max 1ml per liter. The plant is consuming its own nitrogen reserves, which is noticeable in the natural fading of the leaves.
-Pest Control: The cinnamon has kept the substrate impeccable until the end. Zero insects throughout the entire flowering cycle.
🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution
-Pure snow! ❄️ The aroma is now an explosive mix of sweet citrus and damp earth. The density is amazing to the touch; the buds are hard as rocks.
A huge thank you to all the growers who are following this diary and for all your support and comments! It's a pleasure to share this journey with such a great community. Happy growing to everyone! 😉👍
