The tropicana cherry is a magnificent plant. Its stocky and stout with really great node space. I love how solid she is and i just see such a good foundation for stretch. A really explosive week of growth. I pushed PPFD up to 310umols. Dimmers are at 60% which is drawing 224w plus 18w of DRRB. I have alos started Emerson effect ... Another The Emerson effect is triggered by the simultaneous exposure of plants to light in the deep red and far-red spectra Deep Red 660 nm /Far-Red 700 nm . A bit of boring science that explains why you need both far red and deep red in order to trigger Emerson. The effect occurs because photosynthesis is driven by two distinct pigment systems working in series:Photosystem II (PSII): Absorbs energy most efficiently at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies), like 680 nm (441 THz). Photosystem I (PSI): Absorbs energy most efficiently at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies), specifically 700 nm (428 THz). When you provide only the higher frequency (deep red), PSI becomes a bottleneck. When you provide only the lower frequency (far-red), PSII is not sufficiently excited to provide electrons. Providing both frequencies simultaneously allows both systems to work at peak efficiency, resulting in a rate of photosynthesis that is greater than the sum of the two lights used individually. To understand the Emerson Effect, think of photosynthesis not as a single engine, but as a two-stage assembly line. What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in 1957, this phenomenon shows that plants perform photosynthesis much more efficiently when they are hit by two specific types of light at the same time: Deep Red (660 nm) and Far-Red (700+ nm). If you give a plant only Far-Red light, photosynthesis is very slow. If you give it only Deep Red, it's better but still limited. However, when you give it both at once, the total rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher than if you just added the two results together (1+1=3). What is Happening? (The "Assembly Line") Inside the plant's chloroplasts, there are two "workstations" called Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). They work in series, meaning the first one must pass "parts" to the second one. PSII (The First Station): This station is tuned to catch Deep Red light (660 nm). It harvests electrons from water. PSI (The Second Station): This station is tuned to catch Far-Red light (700 nm). It takes the electrons from the first station and uses them to create energy (ATP and NADPH). The Problem: If you only provide Deep Red light, the first station works fast, but the second station can't keep up because it isn't being "powered" efficiently by that specific frequency. This creates a traffic jam of electrons. The Solution: By adding Far-Red light, you power up the second station. It now "pulls" the electrons from the first station much faster, clearing the traffic jam and making the whole assembly line run at full speed. The Benefits for The Grow Because i am using the Biotabs water-only method, my plants already have a steady supply of organic nutrients. Implementing the Emerson Effect offers several distinct advantages: Increased Biomass: Because the "engine" is running faster, the plant produces more sugars and carbohydrates, leading to heavier fruits or flowers. Faster Finishing: Plants often reach maturity sooner because they have more surplus energy to complete their life cycle. Better Light Penetration: Far-Red light is very good at passing through the upper leaves. This "wakes up" the lower parts of the plant that would otherwise be shaded, allowing the whole plant to contribute to growth. Enhanced Secondary Metabolites: In many crops, this synergistic light can stimulate the production of terpenes and antioxidants, improving the "quality" (smell, taste, and potency) of the final harvest. The "Sunrise/Sunset" Trick I am using 4x Invisible sun Far red/Deep red bars,they use high-quality Samsung LH351H (660nm Deep Red) and specific Far-Red (730nm) diodes for 10–15 minutes at the start or end of the light cycle. This mimics the natural shift in light at sunrise and sunset, "waking up" the photosystems or signaling the plant to go into "sleep mode" faster, which can further optimize the flowering cycle. Enviromentally i am chasing a VPD of about 1,1kpa. My room seem to sit nicely at lights on at 24c with no real drama and a little help from a 220W greenhouse bar radiator. Its using abot 4kw/h a day atm because my room is attached to the side of my house and its been -5c.. I have had to add some humidity as its also very dry atm. Im aiming for RH of 65% with my 24c but it is more around the 62s.. VPD is crucial and is the focus for this grow for me. The autopots and Biotabs make it so easy ican really just focus on perfect enviroment. A VPD of 1.0–1.2 kPa provides enough "atmospheric pull" to move calcium and magnesium up from the roots, which is critical for the rapid cell division happening now.. Plants will be flipped on Saturday which is their week 5 as im a bit behind.. As this happens i will push PPFD upto 4-500umols. by week 2 of flower. Thats the plan anyway..

Week 6 of flower and once again, some excellent bulking going on here, I was happy with it.

One thing I’ve taken from this grow is that I think I’ll be trying organic soil style indoor growing after my current Coco hempy run. I feel as though the main thing this would benefit is overall taste and smoke smoothness, of which i feel a difference, but want to test the results myself before determining so in my personal growing experiences. Thanks for reading me ramble on about this plant I love. Cheers

I started with three Blackberry Moon Rock seeds, and two of them sprouted – awesome! These girls are loving life, reaching for the sky as the tallest plants in my tent. They're already about six inches tall, and they're taking up all the nutrients very well without any nute burn. Both blackberry moonrocks plants are very similar height although they have very different looks to them. The one of the 2 definitely going ti strech alot more than the other. One has internodes about 1 cm apart rn and the other is about 3/4 to 1 inch between nodes. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

All looking good😁 Also made improvements to my room

Orion F1 Organic dry amendments. She has grown well for the first time, after I topped her, she has taken to it very well. I topped the plant on the 14th. 😊 The leaves are looking a luscious, vibrant green. Overall, I'm very pleased with this recent progress. 14.6.25: I top dressed the plant today with the following amendments; ☆ 1 Tbs Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ 1 Tbs Ecothrive Charge ☆ 1 Tbs Ground Cinnamon ☆ 1 Tbs Diatomaceous Earth ☆ 1.5 Cups Worm Castings. This will hopefully tide me over until the end of the month, when I will top dress again. I have just been watering with plain, dechlorinated water, PH'd to between 6.1-6.5. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. I'm watering approximately 2ltrs twice a week or as necessary. She has started to drink more. Thank you for checking out my diary and hanging out 😊💚✌️🍃🤞

Day 49 Plants had a little transplant shock from last week as they didn’t really grew much taller. I’m not 100% satisfied with how the veg stage went so far, but I learned a lot and will do better next time. I attached some gardening wire to some of the branches to create a more even canopy. Haven’t watered since last Saturday (transplant) as the soil is still wet and starts to dry out slowly now. Most likely I’ll flip them into flower in 2 weeks around Day 63. I appreciate every advice 🙏🏾

Here she is ! DAWG DAZE at Day 78/ Week 11 from seed. Standing strong at 22 inches tall from top of soil. Using only 2x 100w closet case LED @spectrum_king_led kept at 10 inches from tops. She's grown in a 3 gallon smart pot @smartpots with 2 1/2lb kind soil and filled rest with cocoloco bush doctor soil and fed only tap water every 2 days as needed..kept the daily temps between (day) 80°-65° (night ) and humidity between 30%-45%. My preference. ..did her final minor lst training to get them left side colas in line. She fattening up real good now and her aroma is a strong sweet lemon pine . Great to enjoy everytime I walk in. Shes reaching her final weeks of flowering now. Maybe 2 more solid weeks . Looking forward to it. Will update next week on her organic growth. Enjoy.

I noticed yellowing of the lower leaves a few days back and was kind of confused because in the past my PPM was fine for "small plants/seedlings". At this size there should have been no problems. What I did not account for was the underground root zone I was growing this time because of the "RAW" beneficial spores and bacteria powder I added. Pleasantly surprised when I transplanted to 3gal pots from the red solo starter cups to see such a packed root zone!!!! I powdered the roots with Advanced Nutrients Tarantula and stuck them into the final home base of ProMix HP mixed with around 25%Perlite for added lightness in 3gallon pots. I prefer a dryer mix and can water more often when needed. Its easy to take care of such a small grow room when it comes to watering/feeding so the light soil works well for me and is a bonus at flushing time. Other than the little yellowing of lower baby leaf, the plants are very stout and study. The main stalks are quite thick for such small plants. I had 6inch fans blowing on them since the 2nd weeks so Im sure that helped. Video added and 2 pics

Good week of growth! All 3 were topped on day 20. One is growing quicker than others. Plant height and distance from light based on smaller 2 plants. Photos/video are day 22 since breaking the soil.

Wochenbericht – Pflanzprojekt (4. Woche) In der vierten Woche haben die Pflanzen einen deutlichen Wachstumsschub erfahren. Sie haben nicht nur in der Höhe stark zugelegt, sondern auch die Blätter sind kräftig gewachsen. Die Entwicklung verläuft weiterhin sehr positiv. Um die Pflanzen in ihrer Form zu optimieren, wurden die Köpfe getoppt, was zu einer noch dichteren Struktur führen soll. Die Pflege beschränkt sich weiterhin auf das Gießen mit Wasser, da die Erde ausreichend Nährstoffe bietet.

This is my second time growing a Girl Scout Cookies autoflower! She turned out amazing! She showed signs of high potency, from early on in flower!

after only 10 1/2 weeks, ready for harvesting 👌 they could have matured for another 1 or 2 weeks but I would like to have a high effect here as well, my insides ones will give me the stone. result for the 3 girls in 3 litre pots: 153g wet. Dry result in 10 days, and surely a first impatient smoke test 😏 Even if they didn't suffer from pest attacks, it was impossible to avoid the little ones and their eggs from sticking to the leaves and buds; I did a buds washing to get rid of them.

I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hey everyone :-) Another nice week goes by and it is slowly becoming a bush from training 😊. This week it was poured 2 times with 1 l each time (For nutrients, see the nutrient table above). She was trained once again with topping. You still have some time until it blooms until space is free :-). Otherwise everything was checked and cleaned like every day.

We are back after a little pause. We take a break because we were too busy to post high quality diaries. In the last diaries we tried to post as good as possible and we have to publish about 6 or 8 diaries (in addition to these that we will publish shortly). We opened also an educational Instagram page, we growed a lot in a short amount of time BUT, Instagram suspended our account and we lost all our posts, I was so sad and disappointed... a lot of work lost in a night.... Now we started a new grow with six awesome strains!!!!! In this diary you will see our journey with MOBY DICK by our friends Seeds Mafia, sit down and enjoy the show! We are growing in a 15L Smart Pot with Light Mix soil by BioBizz Moby Dick is a potent and productive strain that may reach a maximum of 21% THC. Although it may be grown indoors, it will yield the maximum results when grown outdoors thanks to its sativa genes that make it resilient to pests but also because it needs much light and lots of space to reach its full potential. Its flowering period is about 60 days, and when grown indoors it reaches the maturity in about 9 weeks and gives a harvest of 650 grams per m2. When grown outdoors, it is harvested in early October and may even reach 1000-1500 grams per plant. Speaking of the effects, it is a typical indica which produces a high level of relaxation with some mixed sativa effects that stimulate the brain. It also has intense and long-lasting effects. Speaking of the flavor, Moby Dick Feminized mixes the floral accents with the coniferous and woody ones and leaves a persisting spicy taste in the mouth. If you want to be high, you should definitely try this one! 💸💸💸💸💸 Here you can buy seeds of this top shelf strain: https://seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html?search_query=MOBY+DICK&results=2 🔧💡OUR SET UP💡🔧 ✔️ 💲💲💲VIPARSPECTRA 🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕 ViparSpectra®️ XS2000 240W Infrared Full Spectrum LED Grow Light: Excellent ratio between wattage and ppfd, excellent light penetraton, perfect light spectrum (it also has IR 🤩) and it has the best build quality on the market.

05/04/2022 Glad I waited she did bulk up buds very hard going to give 36 hours of darkness before I cut her and weigh results, She has been dark for 18 hours and starting to smell of moth balls and burnt rubber scent seems to be stronger than usual. Still some clear trichomes maybe L5 percent at most. I've never tried this darkness period before but seems to have a increase in smells at least. I have been trying to keep soil at about 60℅ of its water capacity (feel of pots weight) in anticipation of the dark period in fear of moulding while in the dark so I think I got it right. Besides mild drought stress from lack of water has been linked to higher THC Levels in end product. See you in 18 hours 😀✌️🏻 05/11/2022 7 days and 18 hours lol She is dry enough to snap stem so onto glass for curing, not much of a yield but thats partly my fault . But will try again In a better grow space. My last harvest for a while so I be back when smoking them up 05/28/2022 Deepest Purple buds testing on guest tonight.🙏🏻

The grow was super easy, rapid growth and incredible strength, no deficiencies..fed 3/4 strength General Hydroponics nutrient line. Ended up topping her two times on multiple branches, giving her a total of 11 tops. Overall medium height with an amazing manifold and thick stem. Harvested on day 62, with a 10 day flush and no darkening stage. An absolutely great strong structure being able to hold it's weight of 132 Grams⚖️️. Right up until harvest day when I went to move her she finally bent but never broke or snapped 💯. Will be in my constant rotation. Recommended completely 💯👏🍍 🔥

White Castle aka Iced Widow has a light smell, very pleasant and floral! Each branch will easily have a quarter Oz on them ! This girl is a big producer! I have found a seed here and there, unfortunately my other plant in the tent hermid on me and I didn’t see until to late !
