Grow report week 7: The flowering preparation Hello dear growers and groweresses, it’s time for an update on my grow. My plants have completed the seventh week and have grown further. But they have also made some preparations for the flowering phase, which I will tell you about. The flowering preparation This week I decided to bring my plants into the flowering phase soon. They have now reached a height of about 30 cm and are ready for the change. I will change the light period from 18/6 to 12/12 to give the plants the signal that the days are getting shorter and they should start forming flowers. I will send the plants into bloom in about 10 days, after I have defoliated them a bit to improve the air circulation and light distribution. I will watch the plants and look for signs of stress or shock. The fertilization This week I also adjusted my fertilization to give the plants the right nutrients for the flowering phase. I noticed a slight over-fertilization, which is why I refrained from adding fertilizers at the next watering and only poured Calmag and Acti-Vera. After that I continued to fertilize normally. Calmag is an organic calcium and magnesium supplement that protects the plants from possible deficiencies caused by the use of osmosis water or soft water. Acti-Vera is an organic plant stimulator made from aloe vera. It strengthens the plants’ defenses and promotes nutrient uptake. The training This week I continued the low-stress training a litlle and bent and tied the plants further. Low-stress training is a method of gently bending and tying the plants to improve the light distribution and air circulation. The goal is to keep the plants low and wide and promote more side branches and flower heads. The training works very well with the gained experience. The plants are finished bending and will now be allowed to come up. I hope all the work will pay off despite the short weakening of the plants. The outlook I am very happy with the result of the seventh week. My plants have recovered well and trained and have shown great growth. I look forward to next week, where I will bring the plants into the flowering phase. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week! 😊
