Week 2 Flower | GMO × Triangle Mints BX
Week 9 overall, second week of flower is wrapped and things are moving exactly as planned.
Far red was bumped up to 20 minutes this week to trigger additional stretch through shade avoidance — worked like a charm. The canopy response was immediate and the budsites are starting to show themselves nicely. Stems are looking strong as ever, which is no surprise — that’s the Aptus Regulator doing its thing. In my eyes the one and only silica worth using, full stop.
This week also saw a massive defoliation of the lower and under canopy — opening up space to give the middle canopy a last chance to break through and reach the light. Next week the work continues — all unfavorable growth and underdeveloped bud sites will be removed so the ladies can put everything into the essential sites during the stretch and bulking phase. No passengers on this run.
The ladies have finally started drinking the way they should. pH holding steady at 6.2, EC stepped up to 1.8 mS/cm to match the increasing demand. Feed rotation stays the same — two full feeds with the complete stack, third feed is 50/50 osmosis and tap, pH’d, carrying only CalMag.
Looking ahead: next feed flips to flower nutrients at the same EC, with PK 13/14 introduced alongside. The week after that, Plagron Green Sensation comes in to complete the flower regiment. The programme is locked and loaded.
The ladies are praying hard — a clear sign they’re loving the treatment.
Next update Sunday. Stay tuned.
