WEEK 10 - FLOWERING: Entering Peak Ripening
🌼 FLOWERING PROGRESS
Bud Swelling:
We have entered Week 10 (Week 6 of Flowering), and the Permanent Bluez is prioritizing bud ripening. The flowers are swelling significantly, and the density is increasing. The structure is now fully established, showcasing the benefits of the early topping and LST. The resin production is intense, giving the buds a distinct 'sugar-coated' appearance.
📋 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL & VPD
This week, I am focusing on environmental precision to optimize metabolic activity without introducing stress:
Day Temp: 26.1°C
Humidity (RH): 51%
VPD: 1.66 kPa
By maintaining these parameters, I achieve a VPD of 1.66 kPa. This falls almost into the ideal range for late flowering (typically 1.2–1.6 kPa). A slightly higher VPD is beneficial at this stage as it maximizes nutrient transport while keeping the relative humidity low, which is crucial for prevent mold issues. The Pure LED Q-V2 is delivering the necessary light intensity without pushing the temperature too high.
💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING
I am maintaining the high-feed schedule to support the final swelling of the buds, as established in the log:
Calmag: 1.5 ml/l to prevent deficiencies under the intense light.
Acti-Vera: 5 ml/l to maximize immune and enzymatic support.
Bio-Heaven: 5 ml/l for maximal energy and nutrient uptake.
Bio-Bloom: 4 ml/l for phosphorus and potassium demands.
Top-Max: 5 ml/l to enhance terpene profile and flavor.
Bio-Grow: 1 ml/l for overall health.
Parameters:
pH: 6.5
Humidity (RH): 51%
Day Temp: 26.1°C
💭 GROWER'S NOTE
"Week 10 and we are in the home stretch! The Permanent Bluez is ripening beautifully. By dialing in the climate to 26.1°C and 51% RH, I've achieved a perfect VPD of 1.55 kPa, which pushes the plant without over-stressing her. The IZI Seeds genetics are handling the high-intensity routine perfectly. Keep it IZI 💚"
