Change light, tender and nutrients.

Literally the biggest of them all big elongated arms long buds also smell really sweet something like cotton candy with fruit intense the smell i am feeding her she is getting fatter and we will have more weight with this girl if we wait so just watch her go 🤗

Growth is a little slower. This spring was much colder than the last few years. I hope they still have time to sprout.. Nice week.

Day 15 (7/1) - I missed day 14 but here are some hopefully good pictures of Day 15. First day of week 3 since sprout! I decided to FIM the CP just because it was growing so much taller than the XLK. I added a picture if the result. The FIMing actually took place on Day 14 so these photos are 1 day after. The XLK is staying low and getting a little bushy under rather but it’s still thriving so far. I still have not fed the plants anything other water with calmag added then PHed out so far. I think this one is going to be really compact. I don’t want to star real LST on it yet due to its low height. It’s about 4-5 inches. CP is thriving the day after its FIM session. The growth looks good to me..?? I don’t honestly know or have any experience to go off of. It grew a little taller and I was able to adjust the tie on it so more underleaf was exposed. This all took place on day 14. These pictures are the result. I like how much new green I see under after just one night. Day 17 (7/3) - Provided a few updated pictures. I won’t be able to provide another update until Sunday night so I will be posting another video at that time. FIMing has produced a lot of new growth in the lower nodes as I read it should do. I’m glad that it seems like the process went well. We will see how much they’ve grown on day 19. Day 20 (7/6) - I was away from the grow for a few days longer than I thought I would be but they still seem to be doing their thing. The soil was dry but that’s only about two or three days worth of drying out which is completely fine and the humidity was a little low but when I got back I refillEd the humidifier and everything seems to be going smoothly. Tomorrow will be the last day of week three and then after week four. I hope to see some height from these cause the tallest is still at about 6 inches due to LST.

Switched to 18 hours light schedule now and she seems to be loving it so far. The lemon balms are keeping the soil nice and moist.

Update with pics of the end product will follow.

Day 21: the next watering will be with the full fert cycle starting week 4. Plants are bouncing back from lst. Day 23: leaf tucking, defoliation and more lst. Day 25: Very hot week, hitting 29°C but the plants are still growing fine

So now we got some better pics of the manifold out of the tent! Yay! You can see how I defoliated her to allow as much light into the center as I can. I am adjusting her spot in the tent so I can position another one in the center, which should be groovy as the stretch is now pretty much done. Supercropping?! What!? In the 4th week of flower?! I know right?! But check it out, it was initially a mistake. I was doing a little LST and a bend went a little too far. So I got the idea, since some growers supercrop early in flower anyways - I am going to go ahead and supercrop that entire plant where the branches are too long anyways! Woohoo! The theory being, it can grow even gnarlier and more potent buds, and new bud sites where the supercrop occurs. However, doing it at week 4 is a bit iffy! But, we will see - it could turn out super rad! Fingers crossed! I took pics of the bended branches so you can see just how far along I am in flower and how they are bent. We will definitely be keeping an eye on these. So that puts us officially at the following plant tests: 1 Topped Once (4+ cola) 1 Topped Twice (Manifold - 8 cola) 1 FIM (8+ colas) 1 FIM + Supercrop (8+ colas) Going to be fun to see how it works out! ✌️

Ph issues here too. Hope it's not too late to correct it!

Seedsman Seeds Germination Report - Run 01: The White OG Journey Kickoff to Germination: The Start of Something Great! Welcome to the beginning of this adventure with The White OG feminized seeds from Seedsman Seeds. Excitement is in the air as we’re searching for strong, resilient plants, and this journey has all the best tools and tips. Starting with five seeds, we’re aiming for a solid beginning and maximum potential. Let’s explore every step in detail to make this grow as robust as it can be! Germination Process: Tools of the Trade TheCannaKan: The Ultimate Germination Gadget I’m thrilled to share my love for TheCannaKan, a little germination wonder! This tool is essential for any grower who wants to start their seeds with precision and care. I noticed rapid results in just 24 hours, with the seeds showing signs of life. At about 32 hours, I transferred them to the Root Riots, which brings us to the next exciting stage. Why I Love TheCannaKan: • Quick Results: Seeds sprouted rapidly, minimizing wait time. • Consistency: Keeps moisture levels optimal for uniform germination. • User-Friendly: Simple yet effective for both new and experienced growers. Root Riots and Their Role in Root Development After sprouting, I placed the seedlings into Root Riot cubes under a dome. Root Riots are fantastic for stabilizing young plants, providing an airy and nutrient-friendly environment that promotes robust root growth from the start. Benefits of Root Riots: • Root Aeration: Soft yet structured, these cubes support root expansion. • Moisture Retention: Holds just the right amount of water for growing seedlings. • Enhanced Root Health: The cubes are ideal for preventing damping-off and ensuring healthy, white roots. Nutrients to Kickstart Growth: Aptus Holland Regulator and Startbooster To give the seedlings a perfect start, I added Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster (1ml/L each). This mix promotes early root and stem strength, giving seedlings the ability to absorb light and nutrients more efficiently. • Aptus Regulator: Enhances plant resilience, aids in nutrient absorption, and promotes early vitality. • Aptus Startbooster: Adds a balanced mix of growth hormones and nutrients that are ideal for the early stages, encouraging healthy roots and faster seedling growth. Light and Environment: Future of Grow FOG LED with TrolMaster Tent X Controller I’m using a Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 600W, but keeping it dimmed down to around 200 PPFD. This setting is controlled by the TrolMaster Tent X Controller to give the plants the perfect start without overwhelming them with intense light. Controlled lighting helps seedlings to develop without stress, encouraging healthy growth and internode spacing. Shoutouts: • Future of Grow LED: High-quality, efficient LED light that adapts well to seedling and veg stages. • TrolMaster Tent X Controller: Reliable and intuitive control over light, humidity, and more. Perfect for a hands-off, efficient environment setup. Observations: One Seedling Takes the Lead At the end of this germination stage, it looks like one seedling has emerged as the strongest, while the others may need a few more days. Patience and observation are key; some seeds naturally take a bit more time to sprout. I’ll keep monitoring these with hope, allowing each seedling its own rhythm. Grower’s Notes and Tips • Consistency Matters: Germination is all about steady conditions—consistent moisture, gentle nutrients, and stable lighting make all the difference. • Document Everything: Keeping a log of each step (like this one!) helps track growth patterns and provides valuable insights for future grows. • Stay Positive and Patient: Not every seed will sprout at the same rate. Trust the process and remember each plant is unique. Community Shoutouts Thank you to everyone who makes this process smoother and inspiring—TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Future of Grow, and Seedsman Seeds for amazing genetics and tools, as well as the growers’ community who share insights, tips, and encouragement along the way. Next Steps Now that we’re through germination, we’ll move into the early growth phase. I’ll keep documenting the lighting adjustments, nutrient changes, and growth patterns of each plant, especially that eager seedling leading the way!

Cause Its the first time so many things fail . But I will do better ;) Thank you so much Smoke good. Love this smell and lust in the taste! The seed any grower must try once

The plants have been drinking up water rapidly with the increased heat, I have stopped using individual gallons and now started using a hose in order to speed up the process. They seem to take about 2-3 gallons each while the larger plant I have been trying to water until I see small amounts trickling out near the bottom. Will give them a second round of organic granular feeding soon! I also started to notice this week that there are a good amount of small black flies above soil. I will have to take care of this sooner than later

Playing catch up a bit here, been a little busy lately

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..

Eccoci qui... Finalmente dopo uno stop per il lavoro torno ad aggiornare il diario con il capitolo finale... Questa piccola ha uno strato di resina davvero fuori di testa sono rimasto incredulo dal vedere come si appiccicassero le mani nel maneggiare le cime!! Ha un sapore davvero di coffeshop olandese con il classico retrogusto di erba cali. Grazie a @MSNL e ad @Xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️ NE VERRANNO DELLE BELLE
