Banana purple punch finally showed the tricomb maturity we were waiting on! She’s a heavy tricomb producer and gives amazing terps. I can’t wait to see what flavonoids she holds. This grow was absolutely amazing,can’t wait to start the next!

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

Es geht dem Ende zu, noch ca. 2 Wochen bis zur Ernte. Stempel verfärben sich schön und die Tricome werden trüb. In 2 Tagen werde ich spülen. Klima super, bei einer konstanten Feuchtigkeit von 40-45% RLF durch grow control. Sonst gibt es die Woche nicht viel zu sagen. Bis nächste Woche

Well week 2 is here and gone. the dark devils are not as big as the red poisons but that doesn't mean much at the moment. we still got lots of weeks to go and the wicking buckets look like they are doing their job. I am going to let the dark devils dry out a bit before I refill the reservoir. to see if the water is too much for that strain as it is the first time growing it. so, looking good so far, they are healthy for now no signs of hunger just water when needed at this point and look for signs of lock out or feeding issues cheers ya'all,

Day 77 - Was her last day. To be truthful she wasn't 100% ready going on the trichomes but needs must and the other photoperiod girls need their space now. It's crazy how my own personal ability has changed over the years. Blackberry is a strain I've grown every 12 months roughly, GrowDiaries is a fab place to track your learning. Looking back through my old grows I must have been mad to think they were ready to harvest! Way too early! Maybe that's the biggest thing I've learned - patience. Don't be too eager to chop, there is a lot to be gained extending by 2 or 3 weeks... Anyway, back to this girl. She has been chopped and trimmed. Have a look thru the pics, if you see a piece of black tape on the stem the apex bud on that branch was BACKBUILT. I have to say the technique REALLY does work. Those buds look fatter and denser than the others that have been left natural. It seems effective to be done about halfway through flowering, but no later than 3/4 of the way. FINAL UPDATE: So after 2 weeks in the drying net she weighed out to 87.81g. Not a great deal but she was compromised by the photoperiod plants she shared the tent with. It wasn't the full purple phenotype like I had twice before but still she looks pretty.

So we’re at the start of week at 10 and both plants are coming along nicely. Pheno #1 has swelled considerably over the last 2 weeks and she has packed on some serious weight. Pheno #2 is a little behind but unfortunately I will have to chop her early as I have to dry in the tent that I grow in. Will be chopping both plants in a few days. Update Day 67: Both plants have been chopped and hung. They’re taking up 2 rows of across my grow tent. Going for a nice slow dry with temperatures sitting at 65F and humidity sitting at 60%RH.

Started my Autoflower journey in soil a few grows ago, and was happy with 2-4 ounces. Using my hydro cabinet with this strain was off the charts compared to soil. Maybe 8 ounces when dried? Time will tell, but this lady put out!

Día 29, estoy ya un poco alucinado, es día 29 y no paran de crecer...he cambiado el agua he Intento subir un poco el ppm al agua, y me da excesos... Así que decido dejarlo bajo a 300ppm y creo que lo voy a dejar así hasta el final... Llevan enzimas de limpieza que descomponen el abono así que dejaré que se auto alimenten porque van super bien ... Haber si pasan hambre.. pero no lo veo claro...en fin no me quiero pasar en el engorde meterle mucho abono y están super verdes bonitas, y florecen a lo bestia así que dejaré que se consuman un poco el abono de las hojas... Día 36 veo que empiezan a tener carencia de magnesio y calcio, he añadido no sé, una locura de magnesio y calcio, también melaza, ácidos fulvicos y humicos y pk bastante.. lo fui subiendo de 150ppm a 400ppm y vi que se lo comían rápido y subían las hojas , al fondo vi que se empezaban a quemar las hojas y algunos pelos por falta de magnesio y calcio así, que me volví loco... De 400 ppm a 800ppm va cargada a tope... espero ahora no causar ningún exceso ... Mañana miraré como reaccionan a la bomba que les he metido van a tope al máximo, si veo que tienen exceso ,no habrá otro remedio que bajar ppm quitando y metiendo agua limpia, y si veo que van bien en las dejo... En teoría voy bajo de ppm tendría que ir a 1200ppm como mínimo, para la semana que voy y más si le añado co2... Pero bueno iré con 800ppm si veo que va bien lo dejo si veo que piden más le añadiré , de momento mañana investigaré... 😅😅 Día 37 por mucho que ayer les metí, más magnesio encimas ácidos fulvicos etc... No he visto ningún cambio... Así que he vuelto a indagar en el tema.... Y creo que más bien tienen carencia aparte del magnesio y calcio, tenían carencia de posforo y potasio, así que como no, me he vuelto loco echándole pk.... Tenía una ppm de 450 se lo subí a 800 y empezaron a subir las hojas, estaban como apagadas ... Total que me vine arriba y les he metido casi 1400 de ppm de sopetón... Así que mañana una de dos, o están quemadas por exceso , ( que no me extrañaría...) o están las hojas buscando la luz y engordando como locas.... Bueno como dije al principio del diario aprendo del error acierto... Y bueno ya se que en la 3 semanas de floración piden ya magnesio calcio y pk , el calcio magnesio que tenía , tenía nitrógeno y me dio exceso por eso estaban un poco con garra... Está vez he comprado calmag de biobizz que es orgánico y no contiene nitrógeno o eso e entendido... Pero si tiene será orgánico... En fin espero que en las k1 tizane no tener muchos problemas de nutrición he comprado un pack biobizz todo orgánico ....

Shortly after they were switched to flowering (after week 3) the plants continue to stretch and then start to develop their first flowers. Now in week 7 all plants have very nice flower clusters all over the plant and side branches. They have grown to 45 cm (=Shiva Skunk on left side) and 40 cm (Serious Kush on right side of aisle) in height respectively and all plants have a nice dark green color, which shows they are healthy and also that the Advanced Nutrients schedule works like a treat. The Q6W-Gen.2 LED-Lamps are now dimmed to 100% (=three green LEDs on the dimmer) and work on FULL POWER, which ensures full fledged flower production. Both varieties have now started to exude their typical aroma. The Shiva Skunk starts to smell musky and sweet, while the Serious Kush smells 'gassy' and 'fuely' like its OG-Kush heritage. The flower clusters on the Serious Kush appear to grow denser than the clusters on the Shiva Skunk.

All 3 plants are adapting very well to LST, the shape its growing into have been allowing the light to reach further into the lower growth nodes and branches. I like to start bending the branches close to the main stem as early as week 3 of VEG. Now these 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds are from Sun West Genetics, they were all germinated, planted, trained, fed the same way they have been on the same controlled environment since day 1, the 3 are totally different, I know each plant is unique in its own way, but I find strange that 1 plant is taller and stronger than the other 2, the smaller one is growing weak leaves with signs of mutation, all 3 plants show signs of Magnesium deficiency, these 3 plants are sharing a grow tent with a Haze Auto from Seedsman, all 4 plants are under the same diet, the Haze have no signs of deficiencies or mutations, I guess that shows what good genetics look like. For the Magnesium deficiency I have mixed my own Epson salts into water and applied as a foliar spray, internet said the spray should be used every other week, wait 2 weeks to see results. Signs of Nutes burn, I decided to stop feeding for this coming week. The 3 NL leaves are looking unhappy, kind of clawing under, they look lifeless, I have ruled off a few potential problems such as: Wind Burn Under Watering Water PH Light Burn, just moved the QB higher to 17 inches from the highest canopy today. If any of you fellow growers have advice for the leaves, please let me know. Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 26/04/19 || To/Hasta: 02/05/19 From day/Desde día: 64 || To day/Hasta día: 70 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- 13 & 15 - Plant with symptoms of an overdose of co2 in the roots, this came from the very beggining of growing 20 - Awesome leaf isn't it 22, 23 & 24 - Buds are forming very awesome. Full of crystals with very beauty pistils 25 - Probably one of the best shots i ever take, i'm in love with this one. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- After defoliation, the buds have started to release crystals in a very massive way, although the nodes of the tails are not growing enough to join with their upper part, but, they are growing a bit and fattening a lot. II'm very amazed with the amount of crystals present in all the leaves, be they small or large. Just touching the surface of any of them your fingers get too sticky. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- I didn't raised the ammount of water this week, i'm watering 1 day and then 2 dry days. This week covers 3 days of watering that's where the increment comes from. 26/04/19 - 1,250 ml with B52, Nirvana, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Rhino Skin & Bud Factor-X @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 29/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients -(Nirvana & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 2.1 E.C. Note: 2.1 E.C is too high for this week, i should be around 1.6 E.C. (I'm testing a thing) 02/05/19 - 1,250 ml with Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy, B52, Bud Factor-x, Blombastic, Sensizym & Nirvana @ PH6.4 & 1.5 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 13 & 15 - La planta con síntoma de sobredosis de co2 en las raíces, esto viene del principio de la fase de crecimiento 20 - ¿No es una hoja increíble? 22, 23 & 24 - Los cogollos se están formando preciosos, llenos de cristales y con unos pistilos increíbles. 25 - Esta es probablemente una de las mejores fotos que he hecho. A mi me encanta por lo menos. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Después de la defoliación, los cogollos han empezado a soltar cristales de manera muy masiva, aunque los nodos de las colas no están creciendo lo suficiente como para unirse con su parte superior, si están creciendo algo y engordando mucho. No me deja de asombrar la cantidad de cristales presentes en todas las hojas, ya sean pequeñas o grandes. Con sólo rozar la superficie de cualquiera de ellas se te quedan los dedos pegados. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- No he incrementado la cantidad de riego esta semana, es sólo que han coincidido 3 días de riego y suelen ser 2. Riego día si, 2 no. 26/04/19 - 1.250 ml con B52, Nirvana, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Rhino Skin y Bud Factor-X @ PH6.4 & 1.2 E.C. 29/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana & Blombastic) también el Big Bud sólo en media dosis @ PH6.4 & 2.1 E.C. Nota: 2.1 E.C. es muy elevado para esta semana, debería estar alrededor de 1.6 (Estoy probando una cosa) 02/05/19 - 1.250 ml con Rhino Skin, Big Bud, Bud Candy, B52, Bud Factor-x, Blombastic, Sensizym y Nirvana @ PH6.4 & 1.5 E.C.

Just PH water at 6.3 on #3,#4 nutrients was fed to #1,#2 They are just coming along healthy and strong,#3,#4 had a Nitrogen Deficiency caught it in time has not progress further other then those two. 7 weeks they are, #3,#4 had a Nitrogen deficiency about 2 weeks ago caught it in time. Found out soil (FFOF) still had plenty of nutrients. So its PH of 6.3 water until they are ready

Monday 8th March - DAY 17 Leaves are curling slightly and I still have some yellow tips please can someone advise if this plant is healthy? Or what I can do better? Tuesday 9th March - DAY 18 She’s looking more healthy today which I’m pleased about I’m just letting her soil dry a little before I up the nutrients. Happy Tuesday! 🍁 Wed 10th March - DAY 19 Soil was looking a little dry this morning so gave her some more water and nutrients (lowered the dose from last time as advised by a few people.) Thur 11th March - DAY 20 She’s looking ok I think maybe a little on the short side but hopefully she’ll catch up over the next few weeks!! Fri 12th March - DAY 21 She’s rather small I think for day 21 I’m putting it down to trauma from the light drop? I’m not too sure but i could just be impatient!!
