Week 4 Flower Diary: The Generative Pivot & Structural Reinforcement ​Phase: Mid-Flower / "The Bulking Engine" Light Intensity: 950 µmol/m²/s Environment: 28°C / 52% RH (1.56 kPa VPD) ​1. Environmental Governance: Chasing the VPD ​The primary focus this week has been the pursuit of the "Perfect VPD". As the Invisible Sun intensity was pushed to 950 µmols, the atmospheric pressure was increased to match the metabolic demand. ​The 1.56 kPa Target: Raising the VPD at this stage is a form of Generative Steering. By increasing the "atmospheric pull," we maximize transpiration velocity, ensuring the raw materials from the Biotabs and Bactrex are pulled efficiently into the developing flower sites. ​Heating Optimization: Introduced a Vivosun W70 heater to replace the bar radiator. This provides a more distributed thermal lift, eliminating the risk of localized root zone damage on inner-facing pots while maintaining the 21.2°C root-floor temperature needed for microbial stability. ​2. Nutrient Strategy: Structural Reinforcement ​With the PK Tea currently on a 36-hour bubble, the substrate was buffered today to support the high light load. ​Silicium Flash Top-Dress: Applied a top-dress of Silicium Flash to provide a slow-release mineral foundation. The added Silicon is critical at 950 µmols; it reinforces cell walls and helps the plant regulate its stomatal aperture under high-intensity stress. ​Top-Watering Protocol: Established a weekly 500ml top-watering routine. This serves two clinical purposes: it washes the Silicium Flash into the rhizosphere and prevents the accumulation of salts in the top inch of the media—a common issue in bottom-fed Autopot systems. ​Microbial Maintenance: Integrated a monthly Bactrex recharge into this top-watering schedule to maintain the microbial density required to process organic inputs. ​3. Photobiological Log: Spectral Steering ​The 13/11 photoperiod continues to drive high efficiency via the "Sleep Hack". ​Emerson Effect Efficiency: Running the Deep Red (680nm) and Far-Red (730nm) channels mid-day allows both photosystems (PSII and PSI) to operate in a synergistic series. This prevents the metabolic "bottleneck" that occurs when plants are pushed near their saturation point of 1000 µmols. ​UV Status: While the Solacure Flower Power arrival was delayed, the room is being coaxed into high gear at 1.56 kPa in preparation. Once the bar is deployed, we will initiate the UVR8 process, where the plant perceives 280nm radiation and responds by increasing glandular trichome density as a biological defense.its some interesting science goes on when you blast 280nm photons at a plant. Proteins do mad stuff which I look forward to going on about once the damn light arrives.. ​4. Observations & Baseline ​New flower site photos taken today establish the Pre-UV baseline. Stacking is dense due to the high Phytochrome Photostationary State (PSS) maintained by tmynlighting rig and the plants are currently praying to the light gods, indicating they have fully acclimated to the current 950 µmol load. ​Weekly Tasking: In 36hr Check PK Tea oxygenation and apply at the end of the brew cycle. ​UV Arrival: Inspect Solacure bulbs and program the 15-minute "Acclimation Pulses" for the mid-day peak. ​VPD Check: Ensure RH doesn't climb above 55% during the dark transition. Thanks for looking. Grow well.🌿💚🇬🇧

Keeping things simple again this week. Roots are already starting to come thru the starter pots drainage holes so I'd say the action below the surface has been what I was hoping for with this starter mix. I'll continue to provide a MegaCrop and Kelp Extract feedings to push her a little bit, I heard the term Synthganic the other day and it seems appropriate her, as I'm using organic and salt nutrients... I've got a little road trip planned so she may be coming down the shore with me over Thanksgiving.

Week 8

These b****** aren't healthy

Indoor bubatz gemütlich am blühen... die woche war im wachstum eher nix los... bisschen entlaubt und weiter wachsen lassen...schöne blüten verteilung... alles im rahmen ohne was zu meckern..schöne pflanze

03 Sep 2021 I am going to flip the light schedule today and start the flowering stage for my trio. They are plenty big enough now, so it’s time to start producing some bud! I’m going to start the Early Bloom level on my feed chart (stage 1), but I’m only going to give them half strength till I know they can handle it. Here’s what they’re getting today: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. My TDS monitor is still not working properly, so I only have the pH to worry about till I can get another one. All 3 plants had an initial pH of 6.4 and were not adjusted. Runoff pH was as follows: C1 - 5.8, C2 - 6.0, C3 - 5.7 The temperature was 84F, and humidity was 50%. I’ve adjusted the timers to switch to a 12/12 light schedule for flowering to start tonight! Harvest should be in about 45 days, then I’m taking the rest of the year off. Well, maybe not the whole rest of the year, but close. Happy growing everyone!! 08 Sep 2021 So, we’re nearing the end of the first week of the flowering stage and the plants are doing wonderful! I last fed them 5 days ago before going out of town for the weekend, which was also the day that I switched them to start flowering. So far they have started to stretch a bit and develop their branches a little more. I measured each plant today, as well as check the distance from the lights. C1 is 19 inches tall and is 16 inches away from the light. C2 is 20 inches tall and 15 inches from the light. C3 is also 20 inches tall, and 15 inches away from the lights. Some of the leaves are showing the fact that they hadn’t been watered/fed in 5 days, but they mostly look good. They are all looking green, healthy and bushy! I plan to do some defoliation tomorrow to thin them out a bit. I’m also planning on trimming off all of their lower leaves and small undeveloped branches to make them more manageable. I kept with the same feeding levels today as the other day. Each plant took nearly the whole gallon of water mixed with nutrients today, and still had plenty of runoff. I still haven’t gotten a replacement for my broken TDS meter, so I don’t have any TDS data today, just pH. Each plant was given CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH for all 3 gallons was 6.4. Normally I don’t adjust this pH level, but since the runoff pH has been low (between 5.7-5.9) when feeding this level, I decided to adjust a little today. I added 1ml of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted each of them to 6.7 going in. The runoff pH for each plant was as follows: C1 - 6.3, C2 - 6.2, and C3 - 6.0. This level is much better than before, so I’ll keep adjusting to near the same levels in future feedings. The temperature in the tent was 86F, and humidity was 43%. 10 Sep 2021 Today I mainly just did plant maintenance. I defoliated and trimmed the living daylights out of my Trio! They’re practically nude!! It’s a great flowering start point. At least in my opinion. I also pruned about 12 smaller branches for clones. I’m not doing anything special with them, except cutting them off, trimming off excess foliage and sticking them in a solo cup with water and a tiny bit of FloraMicro and FloraGro with the ends cut at a 45 degree angle. This is the method I used to get this Trio, so I’m hoping that some of the 12 grow roots to have a perpetual Blueberry Muffin grow going. It’s an awesome strain!! After doing all the maintenance, I wanted to water/feed them, but the clock was against me. The lights go out at 8 pm, and it was already 7:40 pm. So what I did was prepare 1 gallon with the proper nutrients and pH for the 3 of them to share. Each of them received 5 1/3 cups I fed them CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH was 6.4, and I added 1ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.6. I added 2 cups to each plant in turn twice, then 1 cup in turn for a total of 5 cups each, then split the remaining cup between the 3 plants. Each got 5 1/3 cups of the solution and none of them had any significant runoff to measure. I trimmed and defoliated each plant to provide equal and plentiful light exposure all the way through each plant. I cleared off all of the lower branches for clones, and to provide clearance at the bottom of each plant. All 3 are growing with their branches in a Christmas tree formation seeking the light with good spacing. I’m hoping that I didn’t over for it today, and that each plant responds the way I want them too. Time will tell. Happy growing everyone!!

What a monster she is,hasnt even started blooming,,huuuuuge bush. Lower leaves show stress signs of what do you think?

9-9 Biggest of the bunch! Ztrawberriez Recharge around 750ml Kosher rockin too though! 9-11 Day 17 Both big and tall, so I bent them!️ I happen to notice a slight, tiny hair on Ztrawberriez. So Ill mark her flower, in around 5-6 days. I'll hold top dress till then as well. 9-12 Big water! Brought eco witt from 20% to 45% after settled. Took around 2-2.5 liters. Definitely pistols! 9-14 Adjusted LST, prepare for water and top dress tomorrow. May add booster!? Great growth and end to the week! Both have pistils, z by 1 day! Both start flower tomorrow! Thanks!

En la 6ta semana de vegetación hicimos una poda de bajos y desfoliación en general para potenciar el crecimiento de los brotes superiores, mejorando la iluminación y ventilación en el cultivo. También hicimos unos cuantos amarres (lst).

So Friday will be day 70. I messed up a lot, did lst and used big pots so I'm thinking these might go 3-5 more weeks. They smelled so amazing a few times today though. First the purple punch, then the sour diesel, then the girl scout cookies, each gave off aromas one after the other a few times today. The purple punch smalls so sweet and delicious.

Well, these girls are well on their way into bloom. They are really stacking it on since the addition of the worm castings. I strongly suggest everyone use worm castings in your soil mixes, even if you are using salt-based nutrients.

4-12-20: last week of veg before switching to 12-12.

Week 10 beginning of the final stages. Smell is amazing 🤩 What would you guys make different?

107 days!! Here is another great experience :) The girl has matured, 330 grams of wet, full of sticky, resinous shiny, pleasantly smelling flowers :) I think it will be about 90 dry :) although the girl is definitely not the biggest, but she looks great, the smell is also amazing :) I also got some sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash, For me personally it is really beautiful and good growth, which I think will definitely be confirmed by the dried and cured flowers :) there will be a smoke review, as well as the total dry weight. good luck to everyone :).

We are watching trichomes every day and it looks like it is almost ready so we are thinking of harvesting next week. It is already possible to see some amber trichomes. Unfortunately it seems that we are not going to harvest the expected amount, the buds were not very dense and fat, apparently the buds are just small leaves with trichomes.

18.6.2k24 ✅💚 23.6. - Low stress for a stronger peak

Day22: As said in Week3, I will not keep this perspective for the whole grow, as it doesn't really show the size of the plant. But it gives a nice view of how to top leaves grow :) The flashes that you see in the video is the humidifier. It pumps out vapour every hour for 15mins. So basically a quarter of each second of the video will be when the humidifier runs. Day23: I changed it, as I wanted to see the size as well. Day24 - Day28: Happy, healthy growth.
