(Day 31) ​Phase: Early Bloom / Flower Transition Lighting & DLI: 22.5h Photoperiod (22h @ 400 PPFD + 30 min sunrise/sunset ramp) | DLI ~32 mol/m²/day Environment: DIY CO2 Gel/Yeast reactor active, stable VPD and temp management ​💧 Substrate & Feeding ​Dry Back Management: Executed a controlled ~15% dry back to maximize root zone oxygenation and encourage deeper capillary exploration. ​Top-Dressing: Covered exposed top roots by applying 350g of fresh substrate mixed with 3.5g Bat Guano (1% ratio by weight) to provide a slow-release organic P-K boost for the flowering transition. ​Microbial Activation: Irrigated with Bactrex and enzymes to settle the fresh soil layer and trigger the soil biology. ​Foliar Spray: Discontinued Vita Race applications for the Royal Runtz to keep early pistil clusters completely dry and free of residue. ​✂️ Canopy Care & Maintenance ​Applied selective "finger trimming" (nipping off only shade-casting leaf tips) to eliminate micro-humidity pockets and enhance airflow without causing transplant or defoliation stress. Light Lollipopping: Stripped away weak lower growth and shaded undergrowth to eliminate potential larf buds and maximize lower airflow. LST Bending Clips: Applied LST clips to secondary and tertiary branches to open up the canopy structure, ensure even PPFD distribution, and maximize light penetration to all main bud sites. ​📈 Overall Status ​She is transitioning gracefully into flower with vibrant green foliage, zero signs of nutrient stress, and healthy "praying" leaf posture under the 400 PPFD canopy. First pistil clusters are multiplying rapidly!
