Welcome back at week 3 in vegetative stage of the Sensi Amnesia feminized by Sensi Seeds. She did a good progress during last week and developed 5 nodes already. I will give her a little more time before I top her and start the manifold. She is very thirsty in her small pot. I think I will repot her in her final pot before I start mainlining. So far, the conditions seems to fit. 26 C during day and 20 C at night with 50% humidity. Leafs and new branches developed good and she is a strong lady without any issues. Day 23: I repotted her into an 17 Liter pot with BioBizz Light Mix and it was absolutely necessary because the root mass of this lady was insane. Almost the whole pot was with white, healthy roots. I never experienced such a strong root structure in only 3 weeks from seed. She will get 2 days of recovery time before I will top her. Day 26: She got her second cut to develop 4 new main stems. I started my first attempts in mainlining this lady. Hopefully she will recover fast and respond good to this technique. Keep in touch ! Cheers HighZenBerg

Ok Blue toof is really doing great. She smells of sweet fruit, it is a very nice smell. Raised ppm to 680 she was fine at 600. Defoleated all the bottom. She sure showing her indica traits. The leaves are nice and fat. Her stem has gotten nice and fat also. It is the biggest of the bunch. I really like the shape and branches are also nice and fat. Hung the second light. So let the show go on.

🌸 Kweekverslag – Amnesia autoflower hy seeds Week 5: Week 1 van de bloei (eerste week na 12/12) Lichtschema: 12/12 (bloei gestart) Medium: Aarde (lightmix) Potten: 11 liter Licht: Mars Hydro 450W LED Temperatuur: 21–26°C Luchtvochtigheid: 50–55% Aantal planten: 5 --- 🌱 Groei- & Bloeiontwikkeling Omschakeling naar bloei deze week → planten reageren met "stretch" (rekfase). Hoogte is gemiddeld met 10–20 cm toename in enkele dagen. Eerste bloeihaartjes (witte pistils) verschijnen bij de internodes. Planten zijn goed vol in blad, donkergroen en stevig van structuur. --- ✂️ Training & Structuur ✅ LST afronden deze week — verdere buigingen alleen als het moet. ✅ Onderste bladeren of kleine scheuten zonder toekomstig licht weghalen (lichte defoliatie). ⛔ Niet toppen of hst'en meer! Open bladerdek zorgt voor goede lichtpenetratie tot de zijtakken. --- 💧 Voeding & Watergift pH: 6.3–6.5 Watergift: Bij ±50% droogte van potgewicht (om de 2–3 dagen) Voeding aanpassen op bloei: ✅ Biobizz Bloom: 2 ml/L ✅ Biobizz Grow: 2 ml/L (tijdens rekfase nog aanhouden) ✅ Biobizz Top Max: 1 ml/L (stimuleert bloemvorming) (Eventueel CalMag toevoegen bij signs van calciumtekort) --- 🔍 Waarnemingen Gezonde kleur en houding – bladeren “bidden” licht omhoog. Geen tekorten zichtbaar, geen brandranden of slap blad. Geur neemt toe: citrus/kush met zoete ondertoon Stretch lijkt gelijkmatig te verlopen, nog onder controle. --- 📝 To-do week 6 (bloei week 2) Blijf voeding langzaam opvoeren indien gewenst. Begin eventueel met lichte support aan zijtakken indien ze slap lijken. Luchtvochtigheid langzaam laten zakken naar 45–50% naarmate toppen dikker worden. Controleer dagelijks op schimmel, spint of meeldauw nu het bladerdek dicht wordt.

That's how I know the crop was harvested too early:( ..... but only because someone started visiting my place of cultivation and took my two girls, and left two, so that he wouldn't come back a second time and take them, I decided to cut her down earlier:( that's it such news awaited me when I returned from vacation, but overall the girl looked very beautiful, although she got a lot of stress when the snails ate her, but she endured it and recovered very well:) I will dry the bigger flowers and make bubble hash from the rest, good luck to everyone be careful in nature :).

Harvest day! This is my first autoflower ever and after 66 days this is what I got. Now it's hanging to dry for a dry trim. Definitely not the best, but feeling happy with the outcome. Even with some major feeding mistakes, I managed to finish her. Learned so much. I will update with the final weight and a strain review!

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (LIME GREEN CHLOROSIS) Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Come walk in the enchanted forest.

Been adjusting some of the side branches to get some light to lower branches. Recharge + CalMag every watering. Been looking good so far. Found some kind of mites laying on the ground and some lower leafs, any tips on how to fix this I really would appreciate it! Confirmed: Thanks Mr_Weeds_Autos, they are soil mites, I was on panic mode after watching them crawling on soil!

🌱✨ Super Sativa Seed Club Week 5 (Pre-Flower) Report! ✨🌱 Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿 We’ve just wrapped up the first week of the flowering phase with our Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel from Super Sativa Seed Club. This week has been all about preparing for an explosive flowering phase and optimizing our grow environment. Let’s dive into the details! 🌟 Week 5 (Pre-Flower) Progress: Day 29-31: Transition to Flowering • Auto Fast Pete: Our fast-growing friend is transitioning beautifully into the flowering phase. Pistils are emerging, marking the beginning of bud development. The plant is showing strong, healthy growth and a robust structure. 🌿🌸 • Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: This resilient plant is also entering the pre-flower stage. The first pistils are visible, and the plant is stretching and preparing for full bloom. The vegetative growth has set a solid foundation for a bountiful flowering period. 🌱✨ Day 32-34: Room Organization & Autopot System • Room Setup: This week, we reorganized the grow room, placing our Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel to the far left of the tent. This strategic placement ensures they receive optimal light and airflow. 🌿💡 • Autopot System: We turned on the Autopots, an innovative system that automates the watering process, ensuring the plants receive consistent hydration. The Autopots use gravity to deliver water from a reservoir to the plants, allowing them to take up water as needed. This method promotes healthy root development and prevents over or under-watering. 🌱💧 Day 35: Nutrient Changes & Environmental Conditions • Nutrient Strategy: We’ve stopped direct feedings and are now testing how the plants do with only the organic nutrition in the soil, supplemented by regulator and CalMag in the reservoir. This approach aims to maximize the benefits of organic soil nutrition while ensuring the plants get essential minerals. 🌿 • Reservoir Details: • TDS: 400 • Temperature: 18°C • pH: 6.2 • Environmental Conditions: • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 51% These conditions create an optimal environment for flowering, ensuring healthy development and growth. 🌡️💧 🌟 Care Tips: • Light: Keeping our full-spectrum LED light at an optimal distance (18-24 inches) to ensure even light distribution. The plants are responding well to the consistent light schedule. 💡 • Autopot System: The Autopot system ensures a steady water supply, reducing the need for frequent manual watering. This system is great for maintaining consistent soil moisture, which is crucial during the flowering phase. 🌊 • Nutrient Monitoring: Keeping an eye on the reservoir’s TDS and pH levels to ensure the plants receive the right amount of nutrients and minerals. This week, we’re focusing on organic soil nutrition supplemented with regulator and CalMag. 🌿 • Environment Control: Maintaining a stable temperature of 31°C and humidity around 51% to create the perfect conditions for flowering. Adjusting airflow and positioning to optimize plant health. 🌡️💧 🌟 Genetics Spotlight: Auto Fast Pete: • Characteristics: Rapid transition to flowering, strong structure, early bud development. This strain is a reliable and fast-growing option for any grower. • Future Expectations: Swift bud development and resin production in the coming weeks. Anticipate a dense and flavorful harvest. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: • Characteristics: Resilient transition to flowering, robust structure, visible pistils. This strain promises high yields and resilient plants. • Future Expectations: Significant bud growth and increased resin production. This plant is gearing up for a heavy yield. 🌍🌿 Fun Fact: Did you know? 🌿✨ Autoflowers begin flowering based on their age, not light cycles. This means they transition to flowering typically around 4-5 weeks after germination, making them a great choice for quick harvests! For all the in-depth action and detailed explanations, head over to my YouTube channel! 🎥✨ I’m sharing all the tips, tricks, and step-by-step guides to help you get the best results from your grow.

Love Glookies, Glookies is loving the ScrOG ;) super vigorous plant, that handled and repaired more than a few broken branches amazingly. The pheno is awesome, with buds being light green with a ton of purple hues in them. A powerhouse that I can highly recommend. Took a bunch of clones so that I can grow her again right away. She is a stretcher so beware and factor that in when growing her.

Week 7 of Flower going well, plants seem to be stressed a little bit though I believe it's either some slight nute burn or a nute lockout caused by overfeeding. Runoff EC coming out about 200 higher than the input also runoff ph is around 5.4-5.5 which to me indicates slight overfeeding. Going to feed one more week every other day with a watering in between each feeding ph'd to 5.7, than I will start my 2 week flush using clearex by botanicare and plain ph'd water. Some nice purples have also started to really come out this week and the trichomes are constantly packing on.

Fattys are growing and seem to be thirstier.Used foliar spray to help the leaves and also started tucking. When the plant was topped pistils were seen for first time.
