Not much to say other than my inline fan fell and took with it everything on the cross pole in the tent-- that means both lights and all the cables-- and fell on top of all my plants 😂 I have to laugh now because otherwise I'll cry. The plant in flower is effed; crispy buds and the strangest burn marks, several broken stems that may or may not bend. This lil one though got away almost Scot free. Almost.

Apple Pie. mmmmmm 👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrification process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

I'm happy :) I couldn't do it as it should have been, my ph meters broke and ruined everything :( well, but I'm very, very satisfied with the result :) a big thank you to my teacher :)@AsNoriu you are super :) without you it wouldn't have been possible :) I learned a lot of useful information from you :) the house is full of lemon aroma :)

🚀 Let's fly to another weeK 🚀 🌸 Dozi ZoZi – Breed Bros 🌸 WE jump in to DAY51! Watering PH 6.3 Temp is around 25C RH 60% and more in the night. Frosty looks really nice, and I see more and more of it 😍 There are still small deficiencies on the lower leaves, so I will give her a 3.5 ml of CANNA terra Flores. She drinks a lot, so I give her what she needs. D52: As I said, today I give it to her: 2ml of CANNA BOOST Accelerator 3.5ml of CANNA Terra Flores In 1l of water D54: I have the first problems on the leaves. After consulting with an experienced grower who says that the PH is too low and Mg and P are blocked, I gave her water with a PH of 7.0 and some Cal Mag and PK. We will see what happens next 😈 THX for watching and see you next week 👊

May 31 Day 15: Tropicana Cookies FF was the last one started of my domestic four plants but she is a fast grower and will catch up quickly. She might be up to five nodes and ready for the first topping later this week. This was supposed to be the Sativa Wagon, but without Durban Poison it’s really more another Hybrid Wagon. June 1 Day 16: compost tea video but i seem to have lost the audio in the upload somehow. Compost, molasses, coco coir for the bacteria to grow on and a serving of Monster Maxx. Leave overnight for bacteria to grow but not so long that the dissolved oxygen is used up. You want the aerobic bacteria that need oxygen to live. Some of the brew was diluted 1:1 and used as a foliar spray. The air is very dry here during the day and misting the plant leaves is equivalent to a higher humidity that you could control indoors. June 6: Tropicana Cookies is doing great. She staryed late but she’s catching up to the other plants.

We are going strong and I honestly can't complain. So far this plant has been pretty hard and hasn't suffered much if at all being in such a small pot. I'm keeping an eye on water but every other day or so still works. Cheers til next time -Dj Sunstone

Die kleine wächst ausgesprochen gut. Bisher erfüllt sie meine Erwartungen was die wuchsgeschwindigkeit angeht. Schon nach ein paar Tagen nach Keimung konnte ich für den kräftigsten Sämling entscheiden. Ich werde sie toppen, LST und Scroggen.

1/8 prepare Easy combo bloom: hello then this day I prepared the easy combo bloom of the royal in 6 liters of water with controlled ph, this nutrients make the flowers become big, among other things this will be like a booster! on i bud 30/07/2019 I can say that this strain drinks! in fact, he drinks a lot and the nutrients don't seem to bother even at higher doses ... has anyone noticed the same? 17/06 if you have seen the diary from the beginning you have understood that the counting of the weeks starts when I put the seed to sprout ....

Day 1 — Monday 9/15/25. Installed a timer on a 12/12 cycle finally taking this girl out of 24 hours light schedule . Because it’s day1 of flower I also gave her a full strength feed of flower nutrients which includes my new organic foop, stash, & incredible bulk . That’s 95ml per gallon of water plus 1/2 tsp of stash and 1/4 tsp of incredible bulk . She looks hungry hopefully this doesn’t overdo her . I’m thinking she still needs some “grow” nutes for these first 2 weeks atleast but I’m going to see how she responds to this strictly flower feed to make sure I haven’t overdone it . I’ve moved the clones out the tent & cleaned out the crud in the humidifier since I stopped using purified water it gets build up . That branch I tried taking back together has died ! Can’t save em all I only hate it bc it’s from the ONLY branch that regrew from that one half of my plant it’s near dead state . This 5x5 plant is only 1/2 of a plant trained to cover my tent’s entirety meaning if I had the other half I’d have a 5x10 plant . I’m I dunno how long this girls is supposed to flower for . . 8 weeks ? 10 weeks ? 12 weeks ? I’ll need to find that out to adjust my feeding and light intensity accordingly . It’s been FUN but now it’s time to get to the FUNNEST part ! The Bud! Day2 flower 9/16/25 completed our HEAVY DEFOLIATION. Got about 93% of it out of there I’d say there’s about 7% more I want to get out of there . These next 3 weeks are the last times I’ll be able to pull leaves before these too many trichomes to not glue your fingers/tools together . Shes look crazy as she always does when I strip her back but her bones are great . I broke another branch today while defoliating and trying to better spread out the canopy for coverage . I’m undecided will I scrap the clone projects as I do not feel like slapping together another make shift setup for lighting purposes and I don’t want to let them get leggy between nodes before I decide what I want to do with them . I may hate this bud and not want to grow out the clones . I may love the bud and be thanking myself I made these clones . I dunno viewers choice ! What do we do with the clones during flower??? Comment below Lights out begins at 6:50pm she stays dark for 12 hours . Humidifiers refilled shes coasting into sweet dreams . Looking online quickly it says she flowers 8-10 weeks so that doesn’t really help me gauge when to stop feeding & when to start flushing so I’ll keep looking for more definite answers . Day #3 flower 9/17 woke up to check in plant and make sure light was on. I found that one of the circulatory fans had fallen knocking down the tent camera! This particular fan is a wall Mount fan not made to be attached to a pole however through sheer tenacity & jerryrigging is there a fan with substantial circulatory capabilities in my tent for a reasonable price! Sooo I jerry- rigged it up again this morning in a slightly different manner using most of the original materials. The negative pressure in my tent with it fully sealed for the day cycle caused the fan to push on the “jerry-rigged” setup causing it to slide down about 16inhes. I’ve reinforced a stopping point just like last time but with far more girth than the last . Fingers crossed this makes it to the end of flower & remains as my circulation configuration because paying for a 4”. 6” or even 8” clip on fan is just ludicrous Happy Growing ! Give us a like

Still no problems. Starting to fill in more and also gaining a citrus smell that hits me when I open my tent.

I've defoliated a little as I go. One of the watermelon candy has a flat stem (Fasciation) I've been trimming the leaves as they are growing in abundance on the affected branches. The black orchid smells so good it's very pungent and captivating, I'm really looking forward to trying it now.

Still looking good! I'll have to chop next week either way to to personal circumstances, but I'm thinking they'll be just about ready by then anyway.

July 12th : Third video with music up now. Loving the color's they just get deeper and the colas get fatter every day. Just about to start the two week flush on the Lemongrass (Front) and the Early Girl O.G. (Back) which will leave only the Notorious T.H.C. left soaking up the rays and in the spotlight.. It's getting fun.. 👊 July 13th : Took a Night with the family. July 14th : Tent is now Full of Color.. Thinking maybe a week or less left on the Lemongrass (Front) about 2 weeks left on the Early Girl (Back). 2-3 weeks on the Notorious T.H.C. Good timing as I think my Extraction Fan is dying.. Don't buy Bloomgrow products from Amazon.... Just don't.. July 15th : No Update July 16th : No Update July 17th : No Update July 18th : No Update July 19th : Finally got around to taking a few more personal shots of each of the strains in here.. Sorry it took so long! Had a lot on my plate this week. Probably another video update tomorrow!
