• Lighting: Increased distance between plants and lights to allow even canopy development.

• Feeding: Canna Vega at ½ strength. pH adjusted to 6.2.

• Training: Started low-stress training (LST) on several plants to encourage lateral growth.

Week 4: Vigorous Vegetative Growth

• Feeding: Continued Canna Flores and Canna Boost. Reduced nitrogen inputs.

Week 10: Ripening Phase

• Observation: Trichomes mostly cloudy. Buds are rock-hard. Flushed plants with pH-balanced water.

• Environment: Kept temperature consistent at 24°C, with lights off temperature around 18°C.

Week 11: Harvest Week

• Observation: Trichomes showing a mix of cloudy and amber. Pistils fully darkened. Plants ready for harvest.

• Process: Cut plants at the base, trimmed large fan leaves, and hung them in a dark, ventilated space for drying.

Week 12: Drying & Curing

• Drying: 7 days at 20°C, 50% humidity.

• Trimming: Fine-trimmed buds and placed them in glass jars for curing. Opened jars daily for the first week to release moisture.
