Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 2 weeks into flower, and the stretch is winding down. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I will start to add a PK booster this week. I also will be switching to light from V1 to F1 sometime this week, and also integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off. Still very happy with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 90% in the V1 cycle and will be transitioning to the F1 cycle later this week. Overall, the plants seem very happy and healthy. The temperature and humidity is significantly dropping so that helps keeping the tent cool and not overly humid. This is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

09.07.24 Wir haben jetzt 6 Wochen Blüte hinter uns. So langsam geht es auf die Zielgerade „Ernte“ zu. Die Große zeigt schon seit letzter Woche Mangelerscheinungen und doch hab ich wie von Anfang an beschlossen nur mit dem Living Soil und Wasser zu Arbeiten, ganz nach dem Motto von Florganics „Flo & H2O“ Ausserdem ist Blütetag 43 und somit werden die letzten Störenden Blätter entfernt für den Endspurt.

Day 51 - Stour Stomper 1 is looking very frosty, excited for her to start swelling. The runt is just a little behind but still looking great. 4AM1 really chunked up quickly, quite far ahead of 4AM2. Getting pretty stinky in there. Some lower leaf issues but nothing devastating.

This plant at week 4 was little bit stunned because she is getting all the cold and is stressed out,the fan hits directly into the plant.I was feeding all the plants same amounts of nutrients but this one didn’t handle it well so I flush her one time and at week 5 she got a lot taller and stronger 💪

Wk 5 was Steady Away, Explosive growth starting, Transplanted one from aero to coco and added Began the Scrog As you may have noticed, I Expanded the garden to give the coco girls some more room. The Dawg in the aero wasn't taking well at all, she hadn't really had a good innings from the beginning. I transplanted her into the coco and Fed her very week nutes..

Adding Mephisto Sour Hound to my tent of autos. Really excited about growing some Mephisto Genetics, been hearing amazing things about Mehphisto (I also have a Alien vs Triangle going in a separate diary). This is a free seed I received with my order from Seedsman last fall (BTW Seedsman ROCKS!). This first seed failed to pop so I planted a second and that one popped in 4 days!. My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic, I’m starting 2-3 seeds at at time for the last couple of rounds. Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around week 3 I'll do a FIM pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope FIM/defoliation only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

Here we have herbies grandmommy purple , its my third attemt at indoor , so this plant and another plant got put in this after my first ever go at indoor failed so i got new soil cannaterra proffesional and put these in and once they both filled the tent i put this one outside until i got my new tent and swapped the plant over so she started to bud outside as its winter (tail end of it ) and then my new twnt arrived and i put this in here a week ago and she has been loving it , it was very purple from being outside in the cold but its slowing fading away and the other one witch is (grandmommy purple 2) has no couler just green

Hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time. Little main line defoliation to focus growth. A cell is a quantum measuring device for light’s frequency to make order from the chaos that light frequencies bring from our environment. A cell performs mechanical resonance, where its intrinsic structures vibrate at specific resonant frequencies when exposed to external mechanical stimulation. Cells possess the ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from their environment, a process known as mechanosensing. This can involve the activation of signaling pathways and changes in gene expression. Cellular resonance is a component of mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical force into a biochemical signal that triggers a cellular response. Plants perceive mechanosensory stimuli, such as vibration and touch, through structures like trichomes (hairs) and specialized ion channels embedded in their cell membranes. Plants are sensitive to frequencies ranging from ultrasound to lower sound waves, such as 250 Hz. The perception depends on various factors, including the stiffness of the underlying tissue, which can be tuned by the plant to perceive specific frequencies associated with environmental cues like insect herbivory. While the exact molecular mechanisms are still being explored, scientists have identified several potential pathways that may be affected by acoustic vibrations in this frequency range: 4000-5000 Hz. Enzyme activity: Sound waves can increase the activity of certain enzymes, such as amylase, and elevate the content of soluble sugars and proteins. Increased stomatal opening in response to specific frequencies can optimize photosynthesis by increasing the plant's absorption of water and CO2. In addition to enhancing drought tolerance, sound vibrations can strengthen plants' overall resistance to stress. Studies have shown that some genes related to stress response can be activated by sound stimulation. The Emerson effect is a phenomenon where the combination of red and far-red light increases the rate of photosynthesis beyond the sum of the two wavelengths used separately. This synergy is important for understanding Extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR), which includes the far-red spectrum, because it means a more comprehensive measurement is needed to fully understand light's effect on plant growth. ePAR meters measure light up to 750 nm, which is necessary to capture the far-red light that participates in the Emerson effect. The human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color due to a combination of our cone cell sensitivity and evolutionary history. Our eyes are most sensitive to the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is the peak of our visual sensitivity, and a large part of our ancestry was spent needing to distinguish subtle variations in greenery for survival. or our primate ancestors, being able to discern subtle differences in green was crucial for survival. It helped them identify edible plants and avoid poisonous ones, as well as detect predators hiding in foliage. This constant need to distinguish shades of green drove the evolution of our color perception to become most sensitive to it. S-cones: Detect short wavelengths, perceived as blues and violets. M-cones: Detect medium wavelengths, perceived as greens. L-cones: Detect long wavelengths, perceived as reds and yellows. The primary reason for our enhanced sensitivity to green is that the peak sensitivities of the M-cones and L-cones are very close together in the green-yellow region of the visible spectrum. This overlap means that green light stimulates both the M-cones and L-cones, creating a more robust and detailed signal for the brain to interpret. In contrast, the S-cones are more isolated and respond to a much narrower band of light, leading to less sensitivity for blues. The brain's visual processing pathways also play a role. Our visual system processes color differences through "opponent channels," which compare the signals from different types of cones. The opponent channel that processes red versus green has a more precise and intricate system than the blue versus yellow channel, leading to finer discrimination in the green part of the spectrum.

These girls continue to flourish and ripen. They are lined up to finish in 8 weeks as opposed to nine as advertised. A real positive. Having said that I'm starting UVB lights as two hours per mid day tomorrow. I'll slowing increase the amount of time until the end of the grow. Add molasses to the top watering mix. Added optiveg for the chitin and finishing nutrients. The girls are really frosty and sticky already. But no blueberry smell yet. I still have high hopes for blueberry phenos.

I must say, I really liked the output from my new light. I honestly think it really improved my grow. It actually reminds me of when I changed from growing under a CFL to LED. It really stepped up the quality of the cannabis I am harvesting. Now that I have cut the other two pla

So my struggles are finally paying off my girls went into flower!!! Northern lights- did some low stress training to bring main cola down away from light. Added some vinegar in bowls and shot glasses to grow tent to control these flying knats(which bite). Pineapple auto- she's in flower I'm just concerned with all the lower leaf issue's that it's going to affect buds. I've over watered this plant which started the leaf issue's at like 3 weeks. At week 4 I trimmed all the fan leaves off which put it in stress almost haulting all growth for a week. Oh and the knats! I will never use walmart soil again for my grows or house plants. The neem oil has really knocked alot of them out. So the leaf burn and star leaves began at week 5 and it was the only feeding i gave my plants with cal mag and within 2 days the throwing star leaves and burning began.. not sure if it was the cal mag or the knats being so bad at that time. But thru all of it this plant has been a fighter!! You can see in pics the new growth and bud sights are healthy so I hope she fights all the way to the end! I would like to thank Growdiaires and it's community for the opportunity to help and share with others. I appreciate all help, views, likes, comments and support. We all share a common interest and knowledge is power! Thanks again till next week.

Siguen muy bien las plantas, sigo encontrando hojas manchadas por araña roja pero decidí no aplicar nada de químicos, dejaré que las plantas sigan su proceso y trataré de controlar la plaga solo eliminando las hojas donde encuentre arañas o huevos, la plaga no pone en peligro la producción. Sigo aplicando Advance Nutrients 2 veces por semana con 3 litros de agua por planta los martes y viernes, los domingos riego con 1 litro de solo agua a cada planta.
