God’s Gift – Week #6 of Flower (Mid Flower)

Week six of flower represented a clear inflection point for God’s Gift, as bud mass increased rapidly and the plant began transitioning out of mid-flower. Structural support became necessary as large spires leaned under increasing weight. A second support grid was installed, and several small to mid-sized branches were secured to main stems using garden wire to prevent sagging or breakage. A small number of fan leaves were removed where they were contacting neighboring colas to reduce friction and improve airflow.

Calyx stacking continued aggressively throughout the week, with visible swelling across nearly all primary colas. A notable number of pistils began shrinking inward and turning orange, signaling the onset of late-flower physiological processes.

Nutrient delivery remained consistent through most of the week, with mid-flower nutrients supplied at 6.1 pH and approximately 900 ppm. Cal-Mag was maintained at 5 ml per gallon, and silica was applied once weekly at 1 ml per gallon. Toward the end of the week, a gradual transition began using a 50/50 blend of mid- and late-flower nutrients, which will continue briefly before moving fully into late-flower feeding.

Trichome inspection at the end of week six revealed approximately 25% clear, 65% cloudy, and around 5% amber trichomes across sampled tops. This confirms that God’s Gift is exiting mid-flower and entering early late-flower, ahead of Granddaddy Purple in overall maturity.

Environmental conditions were impacted early in the week by an unseasonably warm and humid air mass, requiring active humidity control measures. A wind storm caused a power outage lasting roughly one hour during the middle of the light cycle, resulting in a temporary rise in relative humidity and a drop in temperature. No condensation was observed on plant surfaces or tent structures, and the environment stabilized quickly once power was restored.

God’s Gift showed no signs of nutrient deficiency or excess throughout the week, and overall plant health remains excellent. Resin production intensified dramatically, with extremely dense trichome coverage across calyxes and sugar leaves. Resin accumulation is exceptionally thick and adhesive, with even light contact leaving a noticeable residue. Aromatically, God’s Gift is producing a powerful and complex profile dominated by heavy skunk notes layered with pronounced grape sweetness and subtle citrus undertones. The intensity and persistence of the aroma suggest peak terpene production is approaching.

Light intensity remains stable at 900–950 PPFD for a DLI of approximately 41–42, with UVA exposure maintained at 150 minutes per day. God’s Gift is clearly transitioning toward late flower, with structural support, nutrient strategy, and environmental control now focused on protecting resin development and preventing moisture-related risks as final maturation progresses.
