Flowering continued successfully this week, with some rather expansive growth of the bud sites. Vertical growth has essentially ceased, and she is clearly putting most of her energy into flower production.
The flowers and surrounding leaves are getting rather frosty. Even more so than was to be expected, and I’m excited to see how she continues as we transition into mid/late flower. These elements were significant enough that, last week, I decided it was time to break out the big guns and start using the macro lens to take some good shots for everyone.
The plant has handled the tent-swap and transition to 20/4 light very well, showing no signs of stopping. The DLI at the base of the king bud rests around 38.5. I am very glad we made the swap, as you can see some premature browning of the pistils on the king bud, due to light burn from the other (shorter) tent. This is a perfect representation of the risks of not doing any training on your plant: they tend to grow like weeds! (lol)
The swap to Athena Blended Bloom A/B from Grow A/B has been uneventful, with no signs of nutrient lockout or stunted development.
