Let the Sun Shine! ☀️
The tide is finally turning! After about ten days of playing the waiting game with gloomy indoor skies, the weather has finally broken. The sun has been out for the last 2 days, and you can literally see the difference—the plants have immediately responded with a noticeable jump in growth. They were definitely eager to put some work in once the light finally showed up!
Training & Development: 🌿
I’ve decided to start some LST (Low-Stress Training) this week to help open things up and maximize my space. I’ve started training the Banana Purple Punch and the Amnesia Haze, which you can see starting to take shape in the photos. I’ve decided to let the Lemon Cherry Cookies do her own thing and grow "naturally" for now—it’ll be interesting to see the structural contrast later on.
Feeding Strategy:
The experiment is officially in full swing:
Team Organic: I’m still sticking to plain tap water for the Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze. They seem perfectly content, and I plan to hold off on any additional feeding until I see them transitioning into the flowering phase.
Team Mineral: The Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner received their very first light dose of Hesi mineral nutrients today. I’m starting low and slow to see how they handle it.
Maintenance & Outlook: 🛡️
I also did some preventative maintenance yesterday by spraying a Neem oil solution to keep any potential pests at bay.
You can definitely tell they’ve had a tough 1.5 weeks living without supplemental lighting, but the forecast is looking much brighter now. They are hungry for those rays and ready to start packing on some real growth. I’m feeling much more optimistic now that the weather is finally playing along—time to let them hit the gas!
May the green thumb be with you 💚
