Week #11 (Late Flower – Week 1)
This week marked the beginning of late flower for Stardawg. The focus shifted to monitoring trichome development, maintaining environmental consistency, and gradually easing nutrient levels as ripening begins. Light intensity remained steady between 820–850 PPFD, with a DLI of 36–37. The light was held 15" above the canopy, and UV-A exposure began tapering down from its mid-flower peak.
Environmental conditions were well dialed in - daytime temperatures averaged 83°F, with night lows around 69°F. Relative humidity held at 50%, and substrate temperature stayed stable in the mid-70s.
Nutrient input was reduced this week in line with the plant’s decreasing demand. I fed twice using late flower nutrients, targeting around 590 ppm to maintain runoff levels between 800–1,000 ppm. Runoff pH averaged 6.2, while input pH was delivered at 6.7 to gently steer values within optimal range. Watering continued at 4 liters per day with Cal-Mag support.
Mid-week, I performed a detailed trichome check to gauge ripeness:
Top nodes: 20% clear / 70% cloudy / 10% amber
Mid nodes: 15% clear / 75% cloudy / 10% amber
Bottom nodes: 25% clear / 65% cloudy / 10% amber
Overall average: 20% clear / 70% cloudy / 10% amber
Aromatic intensity remains very high, with the scent continuing to deepen as the plant enters its final stages of development.
