Going well

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

December 23, day 9. Growing coming along decently, despite the early transpiration issue and large pot size. Clear bag and humidifier have been working well, as the ambient humidity of around 35 percent is not pleasant for younger plants. Coco is never my favorite for seedlings, but I expect things to take off soon! December 26, day 12, I reduced how much the plant is covered, while still maintaining humidity. I am experimenting with JR Peterson dry nutrients, specifically their 1 part "tap" formula to see if it holds ph better in for Toronto tap water. I am feeding .4 ec of dry Cal mag and .4 ec of the base nutrients for a total of 1 ec, and I will see how the malasana cookies responds! December 28, Day 14, malasana cookies is responding just fine to the change in nutrients. I am applying 2x daily foliar at .8ec Cal-mag. Its difficult to maintain consistent high plant humidity with such low ambient RH, so this can hopefully help with cal-mag. Cal-mag can be particularly difficult to move up the xylem during transpiration under these conditions. While the plant looks a bit yellow in the photos the leaves are a decently healthy green in realty.

Hello This week was a ideal week for temperature and humidity. Perfectly balanced. I looked at the trichomes with a scope and I saw some amber pistols already. I saw alot of clear trichomes to so I do know i am right on track. This week they got their first pk 13/14. Finally the buds/cola’s can start getting fatter! I think I will give a week pk 13/14. After that normal nutrition week again. One or two and after I start flushing! See you growers next week!

Orion F1 Liquid Nutrients: The seedling is looking fairly unhappy. I will keep an eye on it. The plant has been given its first dose of Mega Crop Part B to introduce some more nitrogen, hopefully she will begin to grow some more and start greening up. The plant was watered when the pot was dried, to avoid mould and root issues. 8.5.25: The plant was watered with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added per litre; ♡ 1/4 TSP Mega Crop Part B ♡ 1ml Trace PPM: 656 PH: 6.0. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Let's see how she goes. Thanks for stopping by 😊🍃✌️💚🤞

Well the end of week 8 was glorious looking forward to week 9 all by itself. Yeeehaaa.

Hey Growmies, no major developments other then her continued swelling and ripening. Luckily I don’t have neighbors, as she has a very pungent fruity smell to her, the buds are out of this world, something i have so far only been able to achieve with Barney’s genetics. She was very thirsty this week, finishing around 5l daily. Coming week I will initiate the flush with some cannazym and ph balanced RO water.

So far so good she is loud but the volume ain't cracked up yet...until nxt week happy growing

Managed to break a main stem, tried my best to get her back on in rapid fashion, but it was a 95% clean break, so I can't expect 🙃 much. Oh well, that's what I get for cracking bad jokes. Genetics is the study of heredity, the passing of traits from parents to offspring, while photomorphogenesis is the developmental process in plants where light influences growth and development. Genetics focuses on the fundamental principles of heredity and gene expression, while photomorphogenesis specifically investigates how light signals affect plant morphology, including growth, elongation, and overall development. Photomorphogenesis, the light-mediated developmental process in plants, involves complex gene expression regulation. This regulation occurs at multiple levels, from the initial perception of light signals by photoreceptors to the activation of specific gene networks and post-transcriptional modifications. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pce.12934 Photomorphogenic responses to ultraviolet-B light Gareth I. Jenkins First published: 09 February 2017 https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.12934 Citations: 173 A further response involving UVR8 and auxin signaling is leaf epinasty, which is the downward curling of leaf edges away from incident light. A recurrent theme in recent research is that UVR8 often functions through interaction with other signaling pathways. In particular, several studies highlight an interaction between UVR8 and the hormonal pathways that regulate extension growth. One example is the role of UVR8 in suppressing the shade avoidance response. Many plant species respond to the presence of neighbouring vegetation by stimulating extension growth as a result of increased auxin biosynthesis. Leaves absorb red light but reflect far-red light, and therefore shading by vegetation leads to a relative decrease in the ratio of ambient red:far-red light, which is detected by phytochrome, causing a decrease in Pfr relative to Pr (Casal 2013; Fraser et al. 2016). In turn, the decrease in Pfr/Pr leads to an increase in stability and activity of several PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) transcription factors, notably PIFs 4, 5 and 7, which stimulate expression of auxin biosynthesis genes, leading to extension growth (Hornitschek et al. 2012; Li et al. 2012). Hayes et al. (2014) showed that UV-B antagonizes shade avoidance responses in Arabidopsis elicited by low red:far-red light, and the UV-B effect was strongly impaired in uvr8 mutant plants. UV-B, detected by UVR8, inhibited the increase in expression of auxin biosynthesis and signaling genes promoted by reduced red:far-red light. Furthermore, UVR8 signaling stimulated GA2OXIDASE1 expression, which causes reduced levels of gibberellic acid and consequent stabilization of DELLA proteins, which antagonize PIF activity (De Lucas et al. 2008; Feng et al. 2008). Whereas the effect of UV-B on GA2OXIDASE1 expression required HY5/HYH, that on the auxin related genes did not. The experiments further showed that UV-B elicited destruction of PIFs 4 and 5 and the stabilization of DELLA proteins, although it remains to be established directly whether the effects on these proteins are mediated by UVR8. Thus, UV-B, detected by UVR8, signals to plants that they are in sunlight and negates shade-induced extension growth by antagonizing PIF action and auxin biosynthesis. UV-B also inhibits the morphogenic responses caused by exposure to elevated temperature, which include hypocotyl extension in seedlings and petiole extension and leaf elevation in mature plants; again, the effect of UV-B is substantially mediated by UVR8 (Hayes et al. 2016). However, in contrast to the action of UV-B in suppressing shade avoidance, UV-B inhibition of thermomorphogenesis does not involve either PIF destruction or an effect on DELLA proteins. PIF4 is a key regulator of thermomorphogenesis, promoting expression of genes concerned with auxin biosynthesis and signaling. UV-B inhibits PIF4 transcript accumulation, consequently preventing an increase in PIF4 protein, and also stabilizes the LONG HYPOCOTYL IN FAR-RED 1 transcription factor, which binds to PIF4, impairing its ability to bind to DNA. Together, these mechanisms block the accumulation and activity of PIF4 at elevated temperature (Hayes et al. 2016). The inhibition of thermomorphogenesis by UV-B is likely to be advantageous for plants, as it will prevent detrimental extension growth under natural conditions where elevated temperature is often accompanied by exposure to relatively high levels of UV-B. Another auxin-regulated growth response is phototropism. It is well established that phototropism in response to unilateral UV-A/blue light is mediated by phototropins, which direct accumulation of auxin on the non-illuminated side of the stem, causing localized extension and hence bending towards the light source (Christie & Murphy 2013). Vandenbussche et al. (2014) reported that UV-B can also induce phototropic bending and that the UV-B response in phot1phot2 mutant plants requires UVR8. However, UV-B-induced bending is slower in phot1phot2 than in wild type, indicating that phototropin action is involved in the wild-type UV-B response, and that the phototropin-mediated response is faster than that mediated by UVR8 (Vandenbussche & Van Der Straeten 2014; Vandenbussche et al. 2014). Moreover, the response mediated by phototropin is initiated at lower fluence rates than that mediated by UVR8 (Vanhaelewyn et al. 2016b). The UV-B-induced phototropic response involves the establishment of an auxin gradient across the hypocotyl, as in the UV-A/blue light response, but formation of the gradient in UV-B does not require phototropins and involves some different auxin signaling components to phototropism mediated by UV-A/blue light (Vandenbussche et al. 2014). UVR8 mediates repression of genes involved in auxin biosynthesis and signaling, which likely contributes to the generation of the auxin gradient across the hypocotyl. Vandenbussche & Van Der Straeten (2014) showed that the accumulation of HY5 on the UV-B exposed side of the hypocotyl (demonstrated using a HY5-YFP fusion) correlated with UVR8 response kinetics and is likely to mediate the repression of auxin biosynthesis genes on the illuminated side. A further response involving UVR8 and auxin signaling is leaf epinasty, which is the downward curling of leaf edges away from incident light. Epinasty is stimulated by UV-B exposure (Wilson & Greenberg 1993; Jansen 2002) and also by the action of phyB, whereas phototropins promote leaf flattening (Kozuka et al. 2013). Fierro et al. (2015) showed that the epinastic response to UV-B in Arabidopsis is mediated by UVR8, most likely through the regulation of auxin transport. Moreover, they found considerable overlap in the sets of genes regulated by UVR8 and phyB, notably in the repression of genes involved in auxin action. The phyB action in epinasty involves the regulation of specific PIFs (Johansson & Hughes 2014), and there is evidence that PIFs are required for the UV-B-induced response (Fierro et al. 2015). A possible scenario is that UV-B de-stabilizes PIFs, as in the inhibition of shade avoidance, causing the repression of auxin response genes and consequently initiating the changes in auxin transport associated with the epinastic response. Fasano et al. (2014) highlighted the potential interactions between UVR8 and abiotic stress signaling pathways and proposed that the cross-talk may involve auxin signaling. They reported that high salt and osmotic stress stimulate UVR8 expression and that a uvr8 mutant has increased salt tolerance under UV-B conditions. In addition, the reduced extension growth of plants over-expressing UVR8, previously observed by Favory et al. (2009), was enhanced under osmotic stress. Fasano et al. (2014) found that the UVR8 over-expression phenotype is due to reduced cell expansion and suggested that the phenotype could be explained by altered auxin signaling. Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and high temperature will often be accompanied by relatively high fluence rates of UV-B in nature, and the interplay between UVR8 signaling and auxin signaling could be modulated under such conditions to regulate growth and promote survival. The stimulation of stomatal closure by UV-B involves interaction of UVR8 with different signaling pathways to those that regulate growth responses. In species such as Vicia faba (Jansen & Noort 2000) and Arabidopsis (Eisinger et al. 2003; He et al. 2013; Tossi et al. 2014), low fluence rates of UV-B stimulate stomatal opening whereas higher fluence rates promote closure. He et al. (2013) showed that the closure response in Arabidopsis is mediated by an increase in H2O2, generated through NADPH oxidase activity. UV-B-induced cytosolic alkalinization is involved in mediating the increase in H2O2 production (Zhu et al. 2014). In turn H2O2 stimulates NO production (He et al. 2013). Inhibition of endogenous NO accumulation prevents closure even under conditions where H2O2 remains high (Tossi et al. 2014). Tossi et al. (2014) found that UV-B-induced stomatal closure is impaired in uvr8, with a concomitant reduction in H2O2 and NO accumulation in the guard cells. Nevertheless, the mutant stomata were viable, and they closed when either a NO donor or abscisic acid was added. It is likely that UVR8 acts to promote H2O2 and hence NO accumulation, but it is not clear how it does so. The UVR8 action likely involves gene expression, because a mutant lacking the HY5/HYH transcription factors is impaired in the closure response (Tossi et al. 2014), but the relevant target genes are not known. The ability of UVR8 to influence auxin and gibberellic acid signaling, as well as redox signaling, is likely to affect a larger number of physiological processes than reported to date. Furthermore, it is likely that interactions between UVR8 and additional signaling pathways will be discovered. UVR8 photoreception leads to sequestration of COP1 and stimulation of HY5 accumulation, and both these proteins participate in a range of cellular processes (Lau & Deng 2012; Huang et al. 2014a; Gangappa & Botto 2016). For instance, COP1 is involved in controlling abundance of the flowering time regulator CONSTANS (Jang et al. 2008; Liu et al. 2008; Sarid-Krebs et al. 2015), and hence UVR8 activation might influence flowering time, as suggested in some studies (Morales et al. 2013; Fasano et al. 2014). HY5 binds to over 9000 genomic loci in Arabidopsis (Zhang et al. 2011) and regulates genes in numerous processes (Gangappa & Botto 2016). Thus, regulation of HY5 provides a potential mechanism for UVR8 to influence several aspects of plant physiology. Figure 3 illustrates some of the known and potential interactions involving UVR8.

I have no fckin idea what is goin on with that one Alaskan purp.I'm thinkn it might be sumthin genetic.Wtf seedsman lol... O well we will see I guess. Everything lookn good and happy to see them stretchn....lil disappointed wit the size but I got a late start so what can ya do...still should b a nice harvest...

2021/10/19 Hi everyone. Back with an update.. Lady's are doing very well, very healthy..stretched quite a bit over the last week, still a bit more to come I think.q Plenty of budding sites..😁😁..so many..🎁🎁🎁..😆..🔥🔥 I'm definitely gona get in there and defoliat a bit..just to get some more light to the lower growth and for proper air circulation, its gona get very crowded in there, very soon. ...so nothing really to update..just everything is going great. Enjoy

Day 57 - Starting week 9 today and she got a good gallon and a half of water and nutes. Buds are fattening up beautifully and is smelling amazing. Looks like the stretching has pretty much stopped and now can focus on fattening up. Doing a little bit of defoliating each day and she’s been taking it well so will continue just a little at a time. Day 58 - Did some more defoliating today and that was about it. Got a couple lower bud sites that are really opened up now so hopefully I can get some growth out of them. Day 59 - Things are looking good and didn’t do much with her tonight. Removed a couple more leaves and that was about it. She’s really starting to stink up the place now and loving it. Looks and feels like she’ll be needing some water on Saturday. Day 61 - Gave her a full 2 gallons of water and nutes today, she was pretty dry. Removed a couple dead leaves as well. Buds are looking great and a couple have the pistils starting to turn yellow and shrivel but she’s still got some time left. All the trichs are mostly clear right now but quite a bit of cloudy as well. Day 62 - Nothing much to update today, just letting her do her thing but will probably start flushing her the next time she needs water. Thinking she’s got somewhere between two and three weeks left. Day 63 - It’s the end of week 9 and she’s definitely fattening up quite a bit. Looks like she’ll need some water by Wednesday so will most likely start the flush. Hard to tell in the pics, but a lot of pistils are turning orange and a lot of cloudy trichs. Still looking at about 2-3 weeks but want to run the nutes out of her and start using up what stored in the leaves.

We cut her early due to a block off in the autopot system.. but she was frosty as a mofo for being cut way to early and the taste was surprisingly very sweet with a piney/spicy kind off aroma and taste

So this week happened a little bit more. All of them got their final BioTabs Mix. Each Plant 500ml of Water with 1g Bactrex and 20ml Orgatrex. No more fertilizer now from the BioTabs Starterset, all they get now is BioTabs Bio PK 5-8 in flowering for thicker buds. Thought it would be a good idea to buy that, will see if it makes a difference. And as you can see i did defoliate them this week also. So much more airflow, finally i can see everything and can worry less about pest and so on. I just hope i didn't do it wrong or did too much of it, it was really scary just cutting off things which grew for such a long time, but i think for the first time it turned out pretty good. In flowering week 3, when i give them PK 5-8 for the first time, i will also defoliate them once more a little bit when it gets out of hand again. Since the biggest plant is about 45cm tall now i will start flowering soon but don't know yet when exactly, maybe a few days, maybe another week, until then they also had enough time to recover from defoliating and i hope everything will work out. Would also be good to get about 5-6cm more on the other plants, so i guess i will do it around Wednesday, but i will see. As you can see the scrog net is installed again, so this time i will pull them through the net and let it in for better division until the end. Really looking forward to my first flowering phase and how they will stretch out, kinda scared too :D See you next week :)

So today marks the 80th day for the zkittlez and forgotten cookies. They will be going into flush next week!! The orange sherbet is stacking and fied the 3x3 wall to wall. Grape walker kush is 4 feet tall.. Gotta love coco :D

Четвертая неделя пройдена ! Охххх как же я устаю поливать ее, мне лень поливать каждый день ... и она постоянно сухая,постоянно хочет пить все из за проклятой жары... ((( хочу уже -20°C холодную,холодную зиму))) Из за жары кристалы трихомы не формируются ((( 32.5°C это ужасно.

These girls were veged for 7weeks & trained through a scrog net, looking very lush & healthy. Performed defoliation before flipping to flower, to thin them out a bit as they were very bushy & covering growth tips & also leaves were sweating from laying on top of each other.
