So she got the chop 2 weeks prior to what I wanted, but I did not lollipop enough doing this Scrog and suffered high humidity, lack of airflow and as a result lost 4 tops... Out of 16 big ones. But I have harvest, wet trimmed and left to hang dry in a room on clothes drier. Room circulation fan on low, and temp is 22c with 51% humidity. Aiming for a 10day dry it maybe sooner. Then we will smoke test and cure then re test 🙌💚 Thank you all for following along this LONG and heartbreaking breaking Journey

Day 17F-24F (Day 19) Man it’s such a shame that bbb#1 stunted out. It was so damn vigorous until it’s most recent feeding. I will make sure to cut back on teas next round as they can be a wild card sometimes. All 5 plants are packing on some serious early frost. But I’m not seeing too much chunk to the buds yet. My other grow that was flipped on the same day has almost no frost yet so that’s a good sign. (Day 21) Big strip today. I will pull off as many leaves as I need to ensure nearly all bud sites are exposed to adequate light. I’m still seeing excess N so I’m going to water in 2 gallons each until I get some runoff. The plants seem to be up taking water pretty decently so I’m going to push it a little with a heavier watering. Wow do the plants look amazing after that strip and flush! Everything is praying up beautifully, including #3 in the back. Let’s hope that gets it back on track now. (Day 22) I want to give a PK boost but all my bloom nutrients have way too much N and I don’t really want to risk it toxing anymore. I could give it a little bit of 0-18-0 bat guano and some 0-0-15 kelp extract but it could be completely unnecessary. I can’t see any signs of deficiencies but a small surplus couldn’t hurt either. (Day 23) I like how the ladies responded to the thorough watering. I will up my watering to 1 gallon every 48 hours from now on. It sucks to see how short bbb#1 is. I was expecting such a huge stretch but it never came because of that fucking tea! I should have leached the medium as soon as I saw stunting. It’s too bad because it definitely had the most potential for yield. (Day 24) I’m starting to think the main problem with bud size this round is all the topping I did early on. Not to mention they were vegging for nearly 3 months. I will try to pick off most of the larf before it wastes anymore energy. I think the ideal style of growing for bud size and veg time is a semi sea of green, or 6-8 plants per 25 square feet. I’m not a big fan of these giant plants as it’s a lot of wasted veg time and smaller bud size overall. The smell is really ramping up!

7 week of flowering.. Cockies kush leafs beutifull coloring from red to purple.. critical full of resin.. two more weeks i think🙂

👉The plant is looking vibrant and seems to continue to flourish, albeit seemingly taking its sweet time. Seems like its in slow motion compared to its veg cycle. To see changes you have to look close or compare pix from a couple days apart. The flowers are getting more aromatic, and has the typical wonderfully sweet lemony stank think going on. Super frostiness as can be seen in the pix. The trichomes are totally illuminated by the lights used by my camera (flash and an LED worklight). May rival the gorilla glue for frosty overload. No new nutrient issues have shown up. The burned tips remain and I hope my good fortune continues. It developed a lot of smaller branches and will have lots of pop-corn buds. Shouldn’t be too much of a big deal and will add to the hash production in the end. 👉My time has been slightly curtailed due to work demands and I hadn’t been able to mule any water home until today. In the absence of the 98% pure water I get from a medical facility, Ive been using tap water run thru a 1cf carbon tank. The tank dechlorinates the water, I use it for my outdoor patio garden of herbs, peppers and single tomato plant. The pure water was 4micro siemens conductivity, the carbon tank water is 45micro siemens (tap is 245). The carbon tank water is far less reactive. This is evident when adjusting the pH. A batch made with the RO water needs just a few drops of pH down to reach desired pH. A batch made with the Carbon tank water takes a couple droppers full. Ive also noticed that the plant may not be able to absorb as much of the nutrients with the carbon tank water. This may be pure anecdotal stoner’s observation, but the EC of the run off has been almost impossible to get down to matching inflow. Its staying 20+ and shoots right up to 30+ each day. I started just giving double volume feed water and no low EC solution. Partly because I broke one of the jugs which I used for mixed solution batches. The high EC run-off may also be a result of the dried nutrients on the side of the pot being washed away more due to the higher volume of inflow. So I may be chasing my tail on this by giving full strength nutrients at double the volume with double run-off. Good thing is that you cant over water in coco unless you try really, really hard. 2 fertigations in one day isn’t even close. The plant is drinking more each day as measurement of the run-off compared to inflow shows the saturation volume. I fertigate in two steps when doing high volume, divide total volume in half and feed half and then measure the runoff. I then feed the second half and again measure the run-off. The difference between the inflow and run-off is the amount taken in by plant and lost to evaporation. I split the total in half to get a more accurate measurement of saturation level and plant intake/evaporation level. I then use that information to help predict how much solution should be given at the next fertigation event. This coming week I will be switching to the late bloom solution mix recipe for the GHE drain to waste chart. I mix it to the upper level strength for desired EC. The difference is slight. It removes rapid start from the mix, and reduces others slightly, except for bloom and micro. I should be able to return to the RO water for the rest of the grow. 👉I haven’t taken an actual measure of the height this week, but at tonight’s fertigation I measured the tips of the center colas were 15” from the light, so I will raise them in the morning back to 18”. The plant could probably take being fairly close to the lights, but I don’t think its nessessary to risk light stress if I don’t have to. There is still 6 more inches of verticle room to raise the lights. If the 99 decides to just keep going slow and steady, packing on bud-age, I can also spread the lights outward and angle the lights to give the two top colas more space.

After repotting and topping 2 mire times,shes shining again,one more week before the switch to flower.

start of LST (gentle bending some branches) one of the laddies are getting taller than her sisters! Overall progress seems to be normal, the laddies are getting bigger and stronger day by day! Watering 500 Ml per day !

Looks so beautiful and smells even better, so in love with this strain, has surprised me a lot, I would love to grow her again, very nice plant, maybe not the best in yield but quality is assured. 🤤💎🌱

Sour diesel and northern lights are ready to be chopped. I will put them in the basement in the dark for at least a day before I cut them down. The clone from the expert haze had to be tossed because I found spider mites on it and then found them on my expert haze plant outdoors. I shouldn’t have brought the clone inside, oops I will not be making another clone of this plant. I have found caterpillars all over everything and didn’t want to spray the buds with pesticides so every day a couple of times a day I would remove them. They eat a lot so I don’t have as much production at harvest. I will be more aggressive with the expert haze with pest control.

💩Alrighty then Growmies We Are Back At it 💩 Well folks we just finished up the last run and so we are back to do it all over again 😁 So what do you say we have some fun 👈And what we got here folks is a Strawberry Blast 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 Strawberry 🍓 Gorilla , Strawberry 🍓 Banana 🍌 and there new release 🍓 Ztrawberriez 🍓 from FastBuds And we also got Strawberry 🍓 Cola from Exotic Seeds 👉 I had ruff time keeping the Humidity up so 8 had to boil water in conjunction with my Humidifier more work but it worked out 😮 So it's been a great week so far 👌 👉 So as you can 2 pots have 2 plants well one will be chopped , it's a survival of the fitest 👈 FC4800 from MarsHydro Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍I've added a RU45 to the mix 👍 www.marshydro.ca 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

everything turned out very well :) and it's only with 50w and with 40x40cm space :) It was an interesting journey with her, a slightly different cultivation and old mistakes were discovered :) the flowers are not dense, but they are really very, very sticky :) I'm happy:)

1/1/22 - just looked 1/2 - watered 1/3 - just looked 1/4 - just looked 1/5 - Just looked 1/6 - Cut

2/04 Very nice strain by Weed seed shop, first time 100% indoor. Growed Fems and Autos outdoor from their bank few times in the past, and it was also nice. Loved the colours, very homogeneous plant. Manicure made just before the harvest I will weight flowers after drying, before curing and add infos and photos

Start of Week 12 😉 Day 86 autumn comes too fast 😵😲😪 Day 88 time is running out 😲😯😧 Day 89 the weather turns to epic fail 💀💀💀 Day 90 the sun comes back again 😍👌 oh lord

….

The start of the week and no problems. I'm thinking to do 1 more transplanting when she have 6nodes and after she recover from that im going for mainline for cola's. Day 26 and transplanting the Girls in to there final 35l pot. Day 27 the girls looking very healthy and already have 6nodes, so I topped the girls by the 3node and removed all grow below the 3node( step 1 mainline)

She's moving along alot smoother now the temps been steadily in rhe warmer zone. Doing two of these since the first slowed down put this in just for a back up. But both look to be growing just fine now. Nothing much to note at her age now. Smooth daily growth again as ud expect once the temps got back up. Gonna be giving her another week or so in this current container then she'd go into the Promix with growdots (2 tsp/gal of media) then vegged another 5 weeks prior to flipping If all goes to plan . See how the growth goes tho, can't wait to see these moving thru the flower stage !! Gonna update photos as the week goes , thanks again to anyone checking in on the progress of any of these grows. Hope your all doing well !!

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. My homework. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration.Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Come walk in the enchanted forest.
