Grow Diary God’s Gift

God’s Gift - Week #5 of Flower (Mid Flower)

God’s Gift progressed steadily through mid-flower this week under the same unseasonably warm and humid conditions affecting the grow space. The portable AC unit operating in dry mode outside the tent continues to play an important role in maintaining environmental stability by lowering incoming air humidity before it enters the tent.
During the light cycle, temperatures averaged around 75°F with relative humidity holding near 53%, producing a VPD range of approximately 1.3–1.5. During lights out, temperatures dropped to about 65°F and humidity remained in a range of the mid-40s to the low-50s, maintaining a nighttime VPD between 1.0 and 1.3. Root zone temperatures remained stable throughout the week, consistently measuring between 63 and 65°F.

Bud development continues to accelerate. The plants remain firmly in mid-flower, with pistils still extended and colas continuing to stack rather than swell. Trichomes are predominantly clear with early clouding beginning to appear. Aroma has increased dramatically, producing a very strong skunky scent that is now difficult to fully contain with carbon filtration.

Light intensity was increased this week, with PPFD rising from approximately 875–910 to 910–950, and DLI increasing from around 38 to 42. UVA exposure was extended from 120 to 150 minutes per day. The plants have responded well to the increased intensity without showing signs of stress.

Feeding continued every 48 hours, with each plant receiving 1–1.25 gallons per feeding. Nutrient solution was maintained at a pH of 6.1 with a medium-strength feed measuring approximately 850–900 ppm. Silica was applied once this week at 1 ml per gallon, and Cal-Mag was added at 5 ml per gallon. Nutrient uptake has been consistent, though some minor signs of potassium demand are visible on a few leaves, which is expected given the current stage of flower development and increasing bud mass.

Overall, God’s Gift is progressing very well through mid-flower. Environmental stability has improved, root zone temperatures are within ideal range, and floral development is strong with rapidly increasing terpene production and bud density.
