First week of flower!

Wow! I literally put these ladies in 10 days ago. Seeds in Rockwell with a little clone x cloning gel on it seems to make them all pop. This is Royal Queen's seed sponsored. These are also top tao seeds I won from Grow diaries. These things are jumping off. Love the cloneck solution. Working great. Like the new arrow pot ceiling station works great. It was 50 bucks too winning. I added an extra pump. Super stoked to see how it comes up. Going in good old HTG Aero parts after this. Stay tuned

Hello Growers & Tokers! Rooooots. Don't forget about them! At the beginning of the week they all got transplanted into their final pots, 11L fabric pots. Medium is Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let hat mycorrhizae do it's thing. I'll let them settle in their new home then I'll be topping them to widen that canopy out. Take care out there and happy growing!

Greetings everyone, I hope everyone is doing well on this wonderful Wednesday! Ran into issues this week, discovered I added extra nutrients to my soil that I didn't need (N,P) and dropped the ph of the soil to below 5.5. I had seen minor deficiencies showing from nutrient lockout perhaps due to low ph so I watered with a good amount of plain de-chlorinated tap water at 7.5 to offset the low ph. It helped a lot! the plats perked back up and were looking much better and grew a bunch at week 4 start but now in the last few days 1 of the 5 is showing the start of some serious stress. Many of her tops have burn't leaf tips which looks very much like nutrient burn. likely excess Phosphorus. This week still working on upwards growth feeding at a higher ph probably 7.0 next watering and hoping for improvement. If not I will have to flush the one plant at least. I hope everyone has a great week! Any comments or feedback is always appreciated =D 08/19/2020 - Start of week, Journal edit + pics 08/20/2020 - Awoke to visible progression of burnt tips so regretfully flushed the one plant with 7.0 ph water until the water ran clear approx 10 gallons for 6 gallons of soil in 7 gallon bucket. She looks burnt and waterlogged but i think she will recover. 08/21/2020 - Flushed the other 3 plants as well All show signs of damage. =( 08/22/2020 - Plant health continues to deteriorate although new growth looks like it may be healthier. Time will tell... 08/24/2020 - Damage finally stopped progressing. New leaf growth is healthy, Cut off dead material growth stalled a bit but they look like they will be fine. 08/24/2020 - Put pheno #5 out on the balcony to flower might be too late to finish. It is an experiment. She looks beautiful. 08/24/2020 - Installed the SCROG net into the tent. tallest plant is 2" away from the screen.

Chemical reactions in which, a single substance splits up into two or more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. These reactions are carried out by energy, supplied by different sources. The required energy can be supplied by heat (thermolysis), electricity (electrolysis), or light (photolysis). Let’s talk about photolysis reactions (not photosynthesis): Photolysis (also called photodissociation and photodecomposition) is a chemical reaction, in which a chemical (an inorganic or an organic) is broken down by photons and is the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule. The photolysis reaction is not limited to the effects of visible light, but any photon with sufficient energy (higher than the dissociation energy of the targeted bond) can cause the chemical transformation of the said (inorganic or organic) bond(s) of a chemical. Since the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength, electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and γ -rays, can also initiate photolysis reactions. Like all other peroxides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also consists of a relatively weaker O−O bond, which is susceptible to light or heat. The net equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2⟶2H2O+O2 The step-wise reaction mechanism is suggested as follows (Ref.1): H2O2+hν⟶2HO∙ HO∙+H2O2⟶HO−O∙+H2O HO−O∙+H2O2⟶2HO∙+H2O+O2 Using isotope studies it was confirmed that the O2 formed is cleanly derived from H2O2 (Ref.2). Notes: The rate increases rapidly in the presence of catalysts such as MnO2 and KI (Ref.2). The rate of decomposition is slow at room temperature, but it increases with temperature. It is believed to be due to thermal decomposition of H2O2, which seemingly accelerates the photolysis (Ref.3). References: 1.J. P. Hunt, H. Taube, “The Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Quantum Yields, Tracer and Fractionation Effects,” J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(23), 5999–6002 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01143a052). 2.A.

Interestingly, as early as 1934 Haber and Weiss (Ref. 1) proposed that HO2∙ is formed in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The subsequent reaction of the transient superoxide radical anion with hydrogen peroxide has been determined to also form the hydroxyl radical (Ref. 2). The higher pH version of the last reaction is, therefore, best represented as: O2∙−+H2O2⟶2HO∙+OH−+O2 And as H++OH−=H2O, the net product formation is not altered. However, alkaline H2O2 is well known to be less stable than acidic hydrogen peroxide (Ref.3) even in absence of light exposure, which accelerates its decomposition (which can involve radical pathways) liberating oxygen!

Plants began showing pre-flowers this week, officially the start of flowering.

Weiter Daumen drücken hoffentlich wirds kein Müsli. Pheno 2 zeigt Anzeichen von Kaliummangel (gelbe Spitzen an den Blatträndern) dem wird mit 1ml/ Canna mono Kalium und 1ml/l Plagron pk13/14 entgegen gewirkt. ph wert und Leitwert im Drain passen. Pheno 1 bekommt vorbeugend 1x die gleiche Mischung. Interessant wie unterschiedlich neben dem äußerlichen Erscheinungsbild auch der Nährstoffbedarf der Beiden ist. Am letzten Tag der Woche 6 wurden die Pflanzen etwas entlaubt. Im Laufe der nächsten Woche wird das Blätterdach weiter geöffnet.

Switching them into flower after 8 weeks of veg. Going to get some nutrients this week as well. I decided to downsize and keep the biggest strongest plants and adopting out the rest.

Looking beautiful this week. Getting some lovely fades on the white widows. The blue sherbets are really packing weight on and smell banging. Trichs now really milking up. Will just keep diluting the res with plain water this week to drop the ec slowly down before the final 5 day flush. Will also drop the res temps to try and shock them into a few more trichs.

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

Over the last week I’ve continued with defoliation process and I removed downer leaves that were not developing properly. On day 78 I added support for aide branches on B and C. I started flush of plant C on day 80, so we’ll see how she looks. I keep feeding other plants but I will be starting flush soon. 😎

Per adesso non ci sono commenti, sono impressionato e basta! 😝

She still develops great and looks beautiful. DoSiDos Day 60 Woche 9 Tag 4 in Blütewoche 4 4l Wasser mit: 2ml Bio Grow 2ml Sugar Royal 6ml Bio Bloom 3ml Power Buds 6ml Alga Bloom 2ml Green Sensation 2ml CalMag

Will begin full flush this week. Day 1

7/19 I’ve come upon the realize that I had been under watering to an extreme degree. I have since adjusted accordingly today and hope they look better tomorrow. Did remove some leaves and then found out I really shouldn’t have, hopefully I didn’t stunt them.i believe they are now flowering and next watering I will be adding some tiger bloom at very low strength. the newts I’ve given them have shown tip nute burn often and I have been very minimally watering so my conclusion is my soil was so full of nutes I could have waited until now most likely to start my first feedings. I’ve read about this and w ocean forest this seems to be the trend. Still really happy about the progress. Peace

The bulking phase is in full effect now, and as expected, the high heat and slightly stunted growth in the first two weeks are showing their consequences. All three plants are relatively bright and limey in color, with a few fan leaves even turning white. This is a clear sign of nitrogen depletion, but I also suspect it’s an absorption and transportation issue, since I’m fairly sure the root systems aren’t ideally developed. We’ll be able to check that in a couple of weeks when it’s time to harvest. That said, bud development is coming along nicely. The LST is showing its benefits, with buds developing relatively evenly across the canopy. However, the plant in the middle seems to be ahead in terms of maturation and growth. --- Quick rundown on everything else: Watering: 1500ml every third day Fertilizer: According to the BioBizz schedule Light intensity: ~1000 PPFD VPD: ~1.62 kPa Temperature: ~28°C Relative humidity: ~55%

week 3 flower is going great. I increased my UVA lights to 8 hrs on. Gsc and Blueberry have decent bud-lets already on day 17. OG kush has preflowers. waiting on Blueberry muffin to show pre fowers should be soon. At the end of week 3 GSC and Blueberry are doing the best and starting to get more trichomes. Im waiting on OG kush And Blueberry Muffin to really get going!

Okay so it’s that time I’m excited just changing fertilizer...lol😂...so this week I gave them tones of water (60 gallons each in 2 days ) to help them take the new fertilizer and I never switch straight from veg to bloom I always give them gradually so it’s half and half week( still veg fertilizer but she getting bloom juice to !!🤓 #1 is now 95” tall she’s a monster and she looked like an 8’ Christmas tree 😍 I’m gonna have to started tying those branches soon before I can’t reach in there’s I’ve got a little outbreak of aphids and because getting in flower don’t want to use soap or end-all so ice cold water in a spray bottle blast that on them the don’t like ice cold water and will fall of your plants🤪

All looks good 8 weeks in. The flower is getting dense. I think they have about 2 more weeks to go. I'll keep feeding and flushing. Looking forward to seeing the yield with this 200.
