5 FEMS AND A TENT | IAA BAP ORGANIC UVB

DoctorWeedthumb The first pics i have. The problems with the Blueberry Pancake were on the peak. I use 16,5 hrs of light as it is the longest day on equator on earth and I use 13,5hours for flower, since i saw all plants flowering few years ago outside at the 1.9. with 13.5 hrs of light.

DoctorWeedthumb Hello World! Fertilizer were 7 Sticks and 5 Tablets each Bucket.

DoctorWeedthumb Growing peacefully

DoctorWeedthumb The Aluminium shows its might 😁 Gave them all rooting water with the hormone Indol-3-acetic acid (IAA). This hormone is also available in our urine, as a microbial degradation product of Tryptophan in our colon. Another alternative is Indol -3-butyric acid, if i remember right it is three times "weaker" than IAA. Usually you should not use a hormone without a opponent player, so for a Cytokin, there should be in relation a smaller amount (4:1) of auxin, vice versa, but I do it since years despite it (less effective). its hard to measure so take 2 crums ( ~10-20 mg) in 2L wate, first solute it. Therefore I use Natriumtetraborat solution since boracid in combination with Na+ is a transport molecule to the cell core (NaBC1-Transporter). in this combination it seems to work still.

DoctorWeedthumb The big two received topping few days ago, Black diamond was accidentally beheaded by a falling Airfilter... So luckily it exactly hit the head nothing else...😅 So i had to top the blueberry too

DoctorWeedthumb Dehumidifier arrived, CO2 Bags we're opened, Flowering IS induced now with 13.5 hrs of light (Till end of flower). Stay tuned!

DoctorWeedthumb Today i removed the downest shoots and rotated the bucket of Black Diamond (180°), recentered the MHs. I decided to slowly induce the flower with a 1 hr steps(-30min morning/evening), so since today they are with 13.5 hrs of light. Additional info: I use Bio apple vinegar to acidify the water, still gave no additional fertilizer I started on sunday 11.1. with the first seeds, so sunday will be from now on upload day. I'll replace some pics, so they fit to the weeks(made mistake) and add more. The humidity sensor of AC Infinity is driving me crazy, its not working properly obviously. I had to calibrate it to -7, but its not scaling as the others... EDIT: Doesnt matter what i try out with the calibration, the sensor measures too high or/and scales completely wrong.. I cant align the humidity to the other hygrometers, its nonesense, atm (lights off) the dehumidifier shows 67%, Hygrometer 67% and the AC Sensor 70%. with -10. This is the max decrease possible. 😑

DoctorWeedthumb I decided to post in between, because there're things to tell i could forget. 1) 10.03. The big plants need 7,5L in 3 days, smaller still in 5 days. With these buckets (Lechuza Cubico 40) the plants get water roots inside this 7,5L hydro reservoir, so they get thirsty early i guess. But the effort shows up in the vitality in comparison to normal earth systems over the years. Really love these buckets, it increased the harvest by 30-70% (13 years of growing some strains more often than others) 2) I had to stand the bucket of the black Diamond higher for the moment till she stretches (used styropor holders inside the dehumidifier carton) 3) I turned the bucket of Sunset Sherbet + Passion Fruitz 90° left, so now it is like I planned before, PassionF in the middle (smallest plant). Had only to wait till she gets higher than the dehumidifier. 3) On the Sunset Sherbet I found a Calcium deficit on two leafs, so probably i was not patient enough with the pH measure last time, but honestly I dont think it comes from a deficite of nutrients, the plants look all very vital. I think its the exposure from the LED lights, when the bucket had the old position (in the middle of both LED). These LM301H are really aggressive, experienced the same with 2 different Samsung boards (LM301H) back days. I tried lots of different lights over the years and I dont like LED, but it's good as an addition. With MH you never have any Ca problems and for me the smell and high is also bit different, more like in back days.. I read few years ago in a Grow Forum from a guy who send his clones weed from diff lamp types to a laboratory, the MH weed had 2 more terpenes or/and another composition of terpenes as LED. The "bad" ones were also much higher concentrated in the LEDs weed. Also i'm using these reptile UV A+B bulbs to harmonize the light for the plants, cz they have receptors on every UV wavelength. https://bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/resources/the-role-of-uv-b-radiation-in-modulating-secondary-metabolite-biosynthesis-and-regulatory-mechanisms-in-medicinal-plants/ https://www.growroom420.com/viewtopic.php?t=17328 4) I saw burned small fingertips on the SSherbet, so is Kalium exhausted now. 5) on sunday i will use 6BAP. I also tried Kinetin in the back days, but this stretches the plants much too much or the opposite, but every plant reacts different to different dosis, so i stayed with 6BAP. No bad side effects with normal treatment. 6) 11.03. : I decided to give now the flower fertilizer, just to be safe. Therefore I take the COMPO Bio Fertilizer(1,2kg/L) for fruits and vegetables as a basis, it has a NPK of 3,1-0,5-4,1 + Mg/S 0,4-0,3 7) 14.03. Removed all the leafs what the plant sucked out the nutrients from, so this is my way to lollipopp usually. I generally take away the shoots only, so i force her to concentrate the energy on the upper ones and get rid of it on her own. One aspect for me too do it like this is the endophyts, which are the microbiome inside the plant and through which she communicates with bacteria in the ground, so i let her decide.i read that especially the big leafs are "communication centrals" 8) Used wire to generate a minimum distance between the branches(~7cm) and removed some fingers, that light comes through better to the deeper layers. 9) 15.3. Finally: They get the 6 Benzylaminopurin once with a dosis of ~1mg/L solution, soluted in pH 4 apple vinegar(+Na4B4O7*10H2O) solution, into 1L fresh water to pH6. I sprayed it on all the leafs. Now it will do its work. Will spray today twice total and tomorrow the same. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-Fixed-effect-averages-from-6-benzylaminopurine-BAP-treated-Cannabis-sativa-L_fig4_351725773 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/nfluence-of-various-concentrations-of-BAP-on-photosynthetic-physiological-indices-at_fig1_371116595 10) reduced UVAB power from 26W to 13W (one bulb), in flower the deep infrared of my MHs is more important, but I want to keep a minimum UVB radiation till the end of flower ( increase the distance to the plants more later)). The problem with most of studies of cannabis plants behavior under UVB light is that they fuse usually only LED, what means its totally different to sun radiation, only the peak on one small wavelength spectrum, also they put in one big study some UV C, what really stresses the plant badly, so it does not grow and stay small... or they tried UV A or B separately, what is also nonesense. In studies with UV A + UV B, like the sunlight is, you can see, exactly this combination makes the difference, naturally plants are adapted to this, like our skin is. If the radiation is not too high the UVB pathway is harmonized through UVA pathway, that is the most important thing. In the combination of 6BAP and a slight radiation it is perfect for the health of the plant (she learns biochemicaly to interact with her surrounding, natural processes) and a higher terpene production/natural composition of them, she learns to protect her through producing polyphenols, etc, only through UV-B.. 11) Will replace the bluewhite ACI s22 Ionboard with a Viper P1000 100w (LM301B), more reddish. With the blueish LM301H boards there can happens always sh*t in the flower, if the plants come too close or indicas are more sensitive to blue light while the flower (depends on genetics) 12) Made two more holes in the CO2 bag (now 4), so ~ doubled the amount

DoctorWeedthumb 1)Passion Fruitz run into a Fe/Zn/Mg/Ca blockade through overwatering i guess. She was already very sensitive from the start on (y she is the smallest) I treated her with Calmag, but she still needs time to recover. Unluckily in the wrong moment when she should stretch 2)Blueberry Pancake grew to the double size in one week . ok, its sativalike, but did not expect that soo fast^^ Remembers me of Blue Dream Haze genetics but with less strength in the branches. It behaves like dandelion, dont ike the genetics in this point of view. But she will give me some super frosty nuggets i read, so.... Had to use a net because of her, but first i did some HST, but she recovers from it every day....

DoctorWeedthumb The plants are very thirsty, drink 7,5L in 3 days. Only gave 2 times a slight fertilization, they plants are still lollipopping their own. Will now use BAP the second and last time. Passion Fruitz still recovering, started to flower now with Black Diamond, both very late. Blueberry Pancake is so huge, she is like the Berry Haze or Atomic, from which i had main cola with 60cm and 70g dry. In the end she were 1,80m high with LST.... I am scared^^

DoctorWeedthumb This week i did usual stuff, removed fingers, gave slight fertilization (1,5L (pH 6 mixture) of 7,5L). The Black Diamond still takes her time to flower as she should... Also Passion Fruitz is still stuck in some branches, only one is fowering, others fight through bad developed shoots. Today i went to the lake in the near for only two hours, while this time somebody must have thrown a cigarette or so in my balcony(maybe from upstairs..), so a Yoga blanket began to burn... When i came back, everything was over. The fire department must have been very fast, so nothing really happened, except some one must have opened the tent, so soot reached the 3 big branches of the Blueberry Pancake on the top... :((((( One long branch was not harmed and everything else is untouched for my luck.... But maybe it should be like this, the branches of BBPC are already 1,70m tall.... i dont have much space left, so probably its good she was stopped from growing higher.

DoctorWeedthumb This week i used some thicker wire to generate spacer between the branches, gave water, removed leafs/fingers, readjusted light. They need now 7,5L in 2 days... And its raining here every second day, so the humidity decrease is a pain in the a**... But ya, they're getting really frosty now. Made some macro pics :) Black Diamond still stretched after 3 weeks.. She is very tall for a 90% indica. So i had to put her back down to the ground, so she doesnt cover the Melon Gum and is in the same height as Passion Fruitz/Sunset Sherbet. blueberry pancake is now 1,75m with lst 😫 And she smells like a chemical Blueberry bubblegum, kind of the smell of bubblegum i remember when i was young, Delicious 😍👌 if the turn is like the taste, I have new favourite strain. I'm exited. EDIT: unluckily the accident with the fire destroyed all the shots on the top of the 3 (of 5) biggest branches to the third node down :((( Really, this destroyes lifes.😩😤

DoctorWeedthumb Rearranged the wires that space between the branches is similar everywhere. The BlueberryPC was hit harder than i thought, nearly all branches are involved. First i thought only the first three nodes....after one week i am not sure if she stopped flowering. I gave a very small dosis of Kinetin over the roots and investigate it for another week

DoctorWeedthumb The plants develope well, produce much more frost now, only Blueberry Pancake stopped to flower through the accident as it seems. That really f.*#!§.. usually i get out around 250-350 dry each bucket.. i guess it will be 150 max, ...but at least super frosty Melon Gum will surely throw a big yield, she grows very stable, produces big nuggets. Sunset Sherbet also looks like glas, full of trichomes, but kinda small for my taste, but ya, she shares a bucket, so for this circumstance its ok. Passion fruitz, her neighbour, has even more resin. Even the leafs are just snow white. But shes so slow... Black Diamond is slowly closin the gaps, will be long colas with 30cm+. Im still excited when the "black" of the gens show up. She has similar blueish leafs like Blueberry Pancake. What I see now too is the OG Kush parents the way she develop the trichomes and built the budstructure, and this as a 90% indica (Zamnesia) I really love it. What I dont like so much is the actual dew. Its described as grapes dew, but theres only a hint of it still, the main aroma is something like fruity caramel, hard to describe. Not my taste for now. Blueberry Pancake turns into beautiful purple, also the leafs become darker. I let her ripen. Great genetics, really a beast of a plant. Had at least 30 genetics under my fingers, this is a really nice one. Very resistant, strong leafs, mega size and branches, crazy resin production, 80% sativa and strong Blueberry bubblegum smell💚 If she had no accident her main colas could have been 50cm long . This one from Humboldt seeds i will grow again, although the first two seeds had genetical probs. I think it will come to my favourite strains top 3.

DoctorWeedthumb I beheaded two big branches of Blueberry Pancake and kinked the middle sized branches that light reaches the shoots at the downer layer. Surprisingly these shoots are still flowering. Taste ist like a blueberry sweets with a slight kushy background. Some of the Blueberry pancakes buds are dry now and smokable, already very relaxing. Used it at a BBQ this weekend, everybody loved it. Very delicious and a soft but deep relaxed high, comes very smooth like a wiskey and you stay still sociable, even after 3 joints, but lets wait till it ripens/ferments, was only 3 days dry. .Shes very frosty, if you touch her it feels like your hand was wet. Had lots of genetics over the years, this is something special. I fell in love with it (like Green crack) Black Diamond slowly becomes a real woman, shows OG kush gens Melon Gum is growing happily, buds getting bigger and bigger She doesnt seem to stop in the next two weeks, im excited how much the harvest will be. Sunset Sherbet has theoretically 2 weeks to go.. Really a small plant, but the dew is like maracuja orange sweets weed with a cookie hint, strong sugar smell.. But i probably did a fertilization failure, why these plants are smaller, i think its my fault. All plants getting more frost every day. Macro pics were made :) cheerz EDIT: I want to show my drying method for people who dont want to wait for a week or more to taste their weed. I tried lots of drying techniques over the last years, you can believe me You dry the cut buds on top of the MH/LED lamp(+acf ), with minimum direct contact to the surface. Turn the buds every 6 hours, after few times your good. Small buds can be dried in one day. It is best way to go, its gently baked and already smokeable, then you put it in the glas with Buveda 58/62. The transformation from THCA to D9THC can be induced also by temperature (as a katalysator) Obviously the speed of dehydration through slight infrared waves/moderate higher temperature are just perfect to dry the weed fast(er) and secure. Of course you have the remove all unnecessary leafs! They stink most und kill the whole dew. My recommendation, for impatient people like me, because you have the extra benefits that the mold has no chance at all from day one, further advanced decarboxylation, safety to get smooth weed/without scratching. You only have to keep the rule to open the glas every few hours for some minutes and if you overdose your fertilization, that wont be for you. After 4 days now you feel the weed gets already stronger, the taste is very good, no scratching, "cloudy soft" smoke. Try out, you wont regret 👌 (writing high from it😺)

DoctorWeedthumb Sometimes you need patience...The smell of the Blueberry Pancake is just amazing. This plant gets a place in my GOAT ranking. Congrats to Humboldt seeds for this creation👏 80% sativa with 31%+ THC, this power, size and taste💪 A pity she stopped to flower because of the accident 4 weeks ago. In general, im not satisfied with this grow at all, its far away from what i usually receive. However,... I will start now slowly with the next generation seeds, For the sativa part it will be definitely a Green Crack (70%) and a cinderella99 (80%), for the hybrid i take Strawberry gum and Purple Urkle for indica (80%) Recommendation : Green Crack is really unique and my absolute favorite strain over the 12 years ive been growing and 24 years smoking now. Its a very strong genetic, resistant against insects, pH fluctuation, but not mold, grows fast, does not need anything special, huge harvest with LST, and most important, what made her famous, the best high for sativa smokers you can find. The taste is like Mango, why it was called Mango Crack, or Green Cush/Crush in the 1970s. The high of this genetic is unique and just amazing! I also had the Green Crack Punch 10 years ago (5 grows;) from RQS. Through the Purple Punch influence, it has a bit more indica proportion, not what i want for day usage, although the high is also very recommended for the sofa.
