Recovery & Progress

The plants have bounced back beautifully after the topping. La Bomba, which was slightly behind in early veg, has officially caught up. Thanks to strategic topping, gently bending the growth tips into the trellis, and a solid round of veg nutrients last week, we now have a lush, evenly filled canopy that’s ready to stretch.

Appearance of the Plants

The grow tent is full and thriving. Both strains have developed strong leaf structure, with rich green color and no signs of stress or deficiencies. The even height across the canopy suggests both genetics responded well to the training techniques, especially the low-stress bending and topping. The plants are standing tall and proud; looking uniform and happy.

Smell & Aromas

Still no noticeable aroma coming off the canopy, but that’s typical at this stage. With the switch to flowering just initiated, we expect that to change rapidly in the coming weeks as the plants begin to express more of their terpenes.

Expectations for the Weeks Ahead

This week marks the start of flowering. The stretch has just begun, so we anticipate explosive vertical growth and early floral development. The canopy is well-managed, so each plant has space to shine. We’ll be watching for early pistils, continued strong health, and the first real hints of those signature scents to begin filling the tent.

We're Keeping an Eye On

• Canopy height and stretch rate
• Early signs of flower development
• Stability of the even canopy
• First hints of aroma
• Continued nutrient response and leaf health

Week Summary

A strong turnaround week for both strains. La Bomba has matched Pink Pie’s pace, and the setup is in prime shape for flower. A perfect example of what good training and patience can achieve in early veg. Let’s see what they do now that the lights have flipped.
