🍂🔥💧🌱🌟 The tips of the leaves are starting to burn 🔥. In the drainage, TDS levels are between 1800 - 1900 💧. Given my unconventional 🌱 fertilization scheme, which aims to provide everything for passive absorption 🌟 (without the expenditure of ATP on active), and the lack of data on the actual condition of the soil 🌱, I will perform a small flush with pure spring water 💧 each evening 🌟.
🌱🕒⏫🌞📈 Today, I'm once again extending the daylight cycle 🌞 by 10 minutes ⏫. The total increase has now reached 30 minutes 🕒, and currently, we're thriving on a schedule of 14.5 hours on, 9.5 hours off 📈.

🌊🔮🌸🌿📈 Partial flushes 🌊immediately show their effect 🔮 - the scent of resin 🌿 and flowering 🌸 intensifies significantly 📈

🍂📜🔁🌱🌿 Yesterday, I realized that almost no one scrolls down to what I consider fascinating content 🍂📜. Thus, I've decided to periodically repeat it 🔁. Today, I want to return to the source of growth and vitality of the plant 🌱🌿.
🌟🌱🍃🌿🌞 All energy in carbon-based life forms is produced through three mechanisms: cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and fermentation 🌟. For plants, only cellular respiration and photosynthesis are relevant 🌱🍃. Cellular respiration is the primary mechanism generating ATP (the universal cellular battery) 🌿. The fuel for this process is oxygen (from the air) and glucose 🌞.
🤔🌿🍃💡🔬 But where does glucose come from in plants? It originates from the air through the second process called photosynthesis 🤔🌿. During its two phases (dark and light), water and carbon dioxide are converted into glucose and pure oxygen in the chloroplasts of leaves through the action of light 💡🔬.
🌿🍂🏗️🌱🌟 Thus, glucose is then used both for cellular respiration and for growth (as building blocks) 🏗️. It can be confidently stated that plants derive their mass and energy directly from the air 🌱🌿. And that leaves are the source of life force 🍂. The more leaves that remain, the more glucose the plant can produce, meaning more nourishment and "building blocks for growth" 🌱🌟

🛠️🌱💡📸👇 As I operate within the confines of a small, homemade 🛠️grow box illuminated by standard LED bulbs purchased from the local store (featuring light temperatures of 3000 and 6500 Kelvin), I have found the opportunity to strategically place four out of twelve light sources at the bottom corners of the box 🌱💡.
📸👀🍃☀️🌟 The photograph vividly captures how the lady 🍃 has smartly turned the top side of her leaves downwards, embracing the lights ☀️. This clever maneuver is all thanks to her innate knowledge that chloroplasts reside on the upper part of the leaves 🌟.
🌿🔍🌞👁️🎉 Realizing that plants can independently orient their leaves towards lower light sources was, for me, a revelation 🔍🌞. With these additional lights positioned below, it's possible to engage in photosynthesis parts of the plant that are usually not illuminated, like the usually lollipopped areas, thereby fostering a greater production of glucose 🎉👁️.

🌿💧📖🙏🌱 Now I'd like to 🌿leave my impressions about watering. 📖 After delving into the respected Jorge Cervantes' Grower's Bible, 🌿I've garnered a wealth of insights. 🙏 Many thanks for such a Herculean effort. However, 🌱 the notion that cannabis prefers dry conditions puzzled me.
💧🌱🤔💦📘 In DWS systems, the roots are always 💧drinking, and the plants turn out quite 🌱substantial. Moreover, 💦water not only participates in the filling of the phloem—briefly, phloem is the part of the plant that transports nutrients—📘 but also in transpiration—essentially, this is the process where plants release water vapor. Plus, it serves as a critical component (alongside air) in the production of glucose (6CO2+6H2O+light→C6H12O6+6O2). Therefore, there should be ample 💧water.
🚫🌊💧🌿✅ And in it, there should be no toxins (such as chlorine, which is commonly used to disinfect water). Thus, I use 💧 spring water and perform small, frequent waterings, which an intelligent WiFi-equipped pump 🌿handles superbly.

🌐📸📚👀🎉 Dear Gromies, further thoughts, techniques, instructions, reactions and so on will now be posted on Instagram. 🌐 My presence on this platform will be reduced to 📸 photographs only. 👀 Join us, it will be interesting! 📚🎉
@Plantinator, Thanks a bunch! 🌟 Keeping it short and sweet: May she grow as tall as my hopes and not as wild as my garden parties! 😄🌱 Happy growing to us! 🍀🌿
@MyDearDiary, crecemos juntos hermano 🤜🤛
@nonick123 tiene un diario resumen de Gorilla Cookies cultivada por @@TopShelfStealth23👌👌
Aún así está bien sentir que experimentas, estoy con mi nuevo proyecto basado en una guía ortodoxa y combino con un poco de mi estilo, para sentirme con un poco de poder 😏😏
En fin, que disfrutes del proceso pero te recomiendo que si buscas producción alta sigas estos consejos 💐🤟
Saludos!
@nonick123, @MiyaguiOkPolilla, Amigos, gracias por el consejo. 🙏 Ya he reducido el riego y estoy estudiando la biomecánica del exceso de agua. 🌱💧 Creo que el problema de crecimiento está relacionado con algo más - tras trasplantar el esqueje al suelo, creció rápidamente hacia arriba y su tallo se volvió rojo. Ahora, esa capa roja se está desprendiendo. 🍂 Sospecho que pudo haber sido alguna intoxicación del suelo, ya que tuve que añadir tierra del grow anterior a mi gran maceta de 30 litros. 🌍🔍
@nonick123, ¡Gracias por tu comentario! 😃 Realmente aprecio tu interés. 🌟 Es mi deseo que estos métodos puedan ayudar y ser de utilidad para la comunidad de groveros, aportando valor y fomentando el crecimiento. 🌱✨ ¡Unidos por el éxito! 🚀💚
@Chamomile, Thank you so much! 😊 Yeah, it seems Mother Nature had her own plans for the Tequila, quick and decisive! 😅
🙌 Let’s see where this grow journey takes us with Big Auto Tao! 🍀🌿
@nonick123, Muchas gracias por la alta valoración. Estoy algo perplejo también. Aunque en la genética de esta variedad hay genes de ruderalis de varios ancestros, al inicio de la novena semana aún no veo signos de que haya comenzado la floración, así que decidí empezar a reducir las horas de luz.
@MiyaguiOkPolilla, ¡Gracias, amigo! 🌟 Lo más importante es que la paz esté en los corazones humanos. 💖 Y creo que nosotros, los groveros, contribuimos a ello. 🌱✨
