Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis some of its most distinct aromas from citrus and berry, to more earthy tones. Many species of plants produce and emit terpenes in a diurnal, or daily cycle that is regulated by a complex web of signaling. There are also many plants that emit terpenes at night to attract nocturnal pollinators (Marinho et al., 2014346). Regardless of when the terpenes are produced or emitted, these processes are often dependent upon cues derived from natural light/dark cycles via a native circadian clock (Dudareva et al., 2004). Several light-sensitive pigments are involved in these processes of production and emission, and the different photoreceptors are dependent upon different wavelengths of light to be activated or deactivated. Emission of terpenes is a process that is entirely dependent upon phytochromes and red/far-red light cues in most plant species (Flores and Doskey, 2015). For example, repeated light/dark phytochrome signaling is necessary for the emission of terpenes in tobacco plants (Roeder et al., 2007). Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that a lack of red light and phytochrome-mediated light/dark signaling on the part of the plant is responsible for an increase in terpene content in cannabis. The plant continues to synthesize terpenes, but a lack of red light to trigger the Pr-Pfr shift results in a lack of terpene emission by the plant, thus causing the terpenes to accumulate in the maturing flowers.

Plant Mol Biol 65: 107-12 Abstract Sound waves technology has been applied to different plants. It has been found that sound waves were at different frequencies, sound pressure levels (SPLs), exposure periods, and distances from the source of sound influence plant growth. Experiments have been conducted in the open field and under greenhouse growing conditions with different levels of audible sound frequencies and sound pressure levels. Sound waves at 1 kHz and 100 dB for 1 h within a distance of 0.20 m could significantly promote the division and cell wall fluidity of callus cells and also significantly enhance the activity of protective enzymes and endogenous hormones. Sound waves stimulation could increase the plant plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, and amylase activity of callus. Moreover, sound waves could increase the content of RNA and the level of transcription. Stress-induced genes could switch on under sound stimulation. Sound waves at 0.1–1 kHz and SPL of (70±5) dB for 3 h from plant acoustic frequency technology (PAFT) generator within a distance ranged from 30 to 60 m every other day significantly increased the yield of sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato by 30.05, 37.1 and 13.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of lettuce, spinach, cotton, rice, and wheat were increased by 19.6, 22.7, 11.4, 5.7, and 17.0%, respectively. Sound waves may also strengthen plant immune systems. It has been proved that spider mite, aphids, gray mold, late blight and virus disease of tomatoes in the greenhouses decreased by 6.0, 8.0, 9.0, 11.0, and 8.0%, respectively, and the sheath blight of rice was reduced by 50%. This paper provides an overview of literature for the effects of sound waves on various growth parameters of plant at different growth stages. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2095-3119(13)60492-X

This adventure seems like it'll be zenzational! These seeds were the first to burst and also first to sprout from soil out of all the other strain. Ladies are on a mission, they stretched upwards and spread the first leaves fast! My thoughts are they'll be some bushy ladies! šŸ˜ I placed the seeds in 500ml cups with BioBizz Light Mix soil, beforehand I mixed 1 gram of Synergy per 4 liters of soil. These are live microbes called Mycorrhiza which live in symbiotic association with the roots. My idea is to leave them in this container for about 14-21 days until the roots develop correctly then transplant them to their final pot which will be an 11L fabric pot. As the light mix soil comes blended for at least two week of life, no nutrients will be added until after the transplant. Happy growing!

Always seemed like it needed cal/mag because of the neon green color. I did give it to them but didn’t make a difference.

Loli popped my plants and installed a new screen. New veg light for my other tent arrives next week and plan to flower this tent. 6/5/2019 So bubba kush (back right plant that is tallest) decided to flower before light cycle changed. Im not surprised because all the other bubba kush seeds i got from growers choice did the same thing, but much faster flowered at like 3-4 weeks. This happened during my last outside grow. Worried a little that the 18hrs might be stressing ms bubba kush dont want a herm. Starting last night I am taking away one hour of light because i plan to flower next week when my new light arrives

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. We harvested one of the Tropicana XL girls , this is going to be a weird entry because I decided to not make a harvest entry till the other one lady finishes. Unfortunately because of my sticky fingers from all the trimming I did not make many pictures/videos of the grow itsels, to fill this void I decided on including the harvest videos and photographs. Although the final weight will be summed up in the final harvest. We finally see that our problem with the plants may not a deficiency but overfeed...decided to leave the reservoir as it is for this week and add only fresh water next week we will flush the system and for seven days the girls will only drink water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE7000 runs at 520 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Also I want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent & affordable nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

When i run i train with no breaks! Nobody likes a train with-no breaks; coming at you on the tracks! 21/04/2025 TF n her clone šŸ™„ i have spread the branches out a little ready for flower next week! 22/04/2025 Midday! I have officially switched to 12/12 it's flower time fan'dingos ā²ļø Actually scratch that WITH having a second look, they aren't ready to switch yet. The fan leaves need to be bigger! 3days hopefully from now! 23/04/2025 Midday! TF I Defolled the last of the "half cut" fan leaves that she used during training process. Shes looking upset! Dimmed light back to 306watts That's it! Time to grow bigger leaves and adapt lighting as shes goes and she's in her final form for vegging! Thanks guys for the advice šŸ™ 1-2weeeks should do it before the switch! I’ve got a strong feeling this one’s goiing to blow up — wayy bigger than the last time I ran this strain. Just looking at where she’s at right now compared to my previous grow, it’s night and day. Last round, I flipped her into Flower at aboout the 5-week mark (265gram yeild i got) and she was noticeably smaller at this stage. This time, though? She’s reallly stavking up early. I'm holdiing off on cranking the lights just yet — currently keeping things underpowered on purpose. As soon as her fan leaves hit that ideal span I’m watching for — nice and wide, signaling she’s ready to really photosynthesize efficiently — I’ll bump the light up to 500 watts. But right now, she’s showing a bit of stress. Doesn’t seem like she’s vibing with something in the environment, maybe a slight imbalance or just needing time to adjust. So I’m letting her settle in before I hit her with more intensity. Thanks Guys for ya help! "I do apologise in advance" It never lets me choose the answers to the grow questions i flick at you guys. But hey guys, ladies, and fellow growies—I'll be switching in a week! Appreciate all the replies and the support, honestly. I’m always torn on decisions and need to get the most out of my medicine yields. In just 4 months, I’ve gone from barely making it up a hill to running a 6-minute mile—no joke. Big thanks to cannabis, and even more so to adding H2O2 into my routine. Every morning I take a tiny 0.005% dose of food-grade 12% hydrogen peroxide, then head out for a run with my dog. I know I’ve been back and forth a lot, unsure of myself, stuck with anxiety and some self-hate I’m still working through. But hey, I’m human. I’ve been living with schizophrenia for 8 years now. All mental illnesses are caused by bacteria/parasites/fungi. But hey šŸ‘‹ let's not hold grudges; againstthe mentalhealthgovernmentstystem being flawed. But the last 2 years have been different—everything changed when I finally got my dog. She pulled me out of my own head. Looking after her means looking after myself too—no room for slipping. If I’m not well, she feels it, and that’s not fair to her. She's not just my companion—she’s my emotional rock and protector. 24/04/2025 Midday! TF is alot happier after removing the training fan leaves. Increased light: 340watts 25/04/2025 Midday! They have enough food to last 3days to be untouched and undisturbed. The Legend of the 6 Blind Men and the Elephant There once were 6 blind men who, upon encountering an elephant, gave their own indi- vidual assessments of the elephant. The first one happened to fall against the broad and sturdy side of the elephant, and concluded that the elephant is very much like a wall. The second one, feeling the tusk, said the elephant was very much like a spear. The third one happened to take the squirming trunk in his hands, and said the elephant was very much like a snake. The fourth one, reached out and touched the elephant’s knee, and concluded that the elephant is very much like a tree. The fifth one happened to touch the ear, and insisted that the elephant is very much like a fan. And the sixth one seized the swinging tail, and said the elephant is very much like a rope. Each of the blind men was partly right based on his own subjective perception —but at the same time, mostly wrong. The comical part of it all is that their dispute stemmed from utter ignorance because none had ever seen the elephant! The field of medicine, with its compartmentalized theories about what causes disease and how to eradicate it from the human body, actually perceives only a small snapshot of the larger picture, a localized subset of the larger workings of the human body. One would think that because the medical and pharmaceutical industries have grown as large as they have, that we would have less sick people in the world. But the opposite is actually true. There are more sick people in the U.S., for instance, than at any other time in history—not just in actual numbers but as a percentage of the population. This, in no way, is intended to discredit doctors, medical practitioners and institutions that have genuinely good intentions of helping to heal people and eradicate disease. It simply points to an ineffective medical system that is focused on illness rather than wellness, that promotes expensive (i.e., profit-driven), invasive and potentially dangerous (or even deadly) medical procedures, drugs or treatments rather than simple, natural, inexpensive, effective treatments or therapies that have no side effects. There’s a Chinese proverb which says: The superior doctor prevents illness. The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness. The inferior doctor treats actual illness. According to the above definition, traditional (allo- pathic) doctors are either mediocre or inferior! However, they are so, not necessarily because of their mediocre or inferior dedication to the healing profession, but because all 126 medical schools that provide conventional medical education and training focus on treating actual or impending diseases rather than preventing them. While the majority of drugs prescribed by doctors may seem to provide relief (or so-called ā€œcureā€) for a disease, most of them simply relieve symptoms or the pain associated with the disease, but don’t cure the disease. For example, the most popular asthma medications (consisting of inhaled beta-agonists), which relax airway muscles, may help asthma sufferers to breathe easier, but they do NOT cure the condition nor reduce the inflammation in the airways. The drugs that do claim to ā€œcureā€ an illness by halting the spread of invading germs, such as bacteria and viruses; and by killing cells as they divide or preventing them from multiplying; do so but not without harming the body to some extent. Practically all drugs have side effects: that is, they cause effects (including adverse and serious effects) other than those that are desired. Sometimes, drugs provide relief for one health problem, but in the process, give rise to even more serious health problems. So we take drugs that relieve the symptoms of osteoporosis and in turn, acquire a high risk of breast cancer; and we trade impotence for heart disease; or depression for diabetes; and take a pill for arthritis at the risk of getting a heart attack. There are even drugs that are designed primarily to alleviate the side effects caused by other drugs or medical treatments. And that’s only touching on the side effects of drugs. There are also side effects and serious health consequences that come with medical treatments like surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, for example. And even diagnostic procedures like X-Rays, mammograms and MRIs have their own attendant risks and side effects. Case in Point: Ever since mammograms were introduced, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a type of breast cancer, has increased by 328%! At least 200% of this increase is attributed to the harmful radiation of mam- mograms. Furthermore, mammograms are also thought to help spread existing cancer cells due to the considerable pressure placed on the breast during the procedure. When you consider the prevailing conditions that exist in the medical industry, you begin to see that your best interests are not served by relinquishing total control of your health to doctors, medical establishments or the pharma- ceutical industry. What this means to you is that you must not blindly accept medical advice as the best course of action for your health. Neither should you be deceived by the multi-million dollar advertising campaigns of the pharmaceutical com- panies that promote ā€œmedicinesā€ that do not cure and often harm. The Most Essential Element in the Human Body In order to dismantle the complex healing modalities that the medical and pharmaceutical industries have created. —and discover the path to true healing—one needs to take a closer look at the core of human existence. The human body is composed of 70%-80% water—and water is 89% oxygen by weight. Therefore, oxygen comprises 62% to 71% of the body, and is the body’s most abundant and essential element. Ninety (90%) percent of all our biological energy comes from oxygen. It is the essential element that the human body needs in order to not only survive, but also have optimum levels of energy, function properly and become more productive. Consider, for instance, that humans can survive for weeks and even months without food, and live for many days without water. But we cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen. It is surprising, therefore, that people find it hard to believe that the very element, which is required by all humans in order to live is also the secret to keeping us disease-free. Medical professionals, in particular, would find the notion of curing virtually all diseases with oxygen rather simplistic, or even lacking merit. The curious thing is that oxygen is already used in medicine. Oxygen supplementation has been used to ease health conditions, such as emphysema and pneumonia that impair the body’s ability to have a sufficient intake of gaseous oxygen. Hyperbaric (high-pressure) oxygen has been used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene and decompression sickness. Oxygen has also been used for life. support situations and on patients who require mechanical ventilation. Patients on their deathbed who are given extra doses of oxygen are often kept alive long after they would otherwise have died. However, because oxygen has seldom been used in the medical setting as a first line of defense for preventing, let alone ā€œcuringā€ diseases, it has never been accorded its rightful place as the cure for virtually all diseases. The world of science and medicine has always known that oxygen is the basis of human life, without which humans die. This fundamental truth has become so overlaid with centuries’ worth of extraneous matter that its essence has become completely obscured by the ā€˜Tower of Babel’ created by the field of medicine. This book will provide solid proof that the primary physical cause of all diseases is linked in one way or another to oxygen deficiency. In fact, many of the elaborate (and expensive) therapies offered by organized medicine take advantage of oxygen's effect on diseased cells. Most conventional cancer therapies, for instance, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, produce oxygen- activated events that kill cancer cells. Another new cancer drug, verteporfin, increases the amount of oxygen within cancerous tumors, and this kills tumors more effectively than radiation alone. Interferon drugs, which are vastly prescribed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, owe their efficacy to the fact that they raise the body’s oxygen level. One could draw the conclusion that many drugs basically work on the same principle of oxygenation described in this book, but those drugs cost tens of thousands times more than the pennies-a-day self-administered therapy I present herein. Furthermore, the therapy I present does not come with any of the adverse effects typically associated with toxic drugs and other radical medical therapies. In the following chapters, you will discover … • how dozens of AIDS patients have reversed their death sentences and are now living normal lives as a result of this little-known therapy involving oxygen; • how all disease-causing microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, toxins and pathogens are eradicated in the presence of sufficient amounts of oxygen in the blood and cells; • how a great number of diseases ranging from colds and the common flu to malaria and cholera have been cured as far back as 170 years ago in India using this same therapy; • why the handful of U.S. doctors who employ this therapy to cure a wide variety of so-called ā€œincurableā€ diseases, or endorse the therapy in any way, come under heavy attack by the medical establishment and are threatened with the revo- cation of their medical licenses; and • how you can oxygenate your body using a remarkably simple procedure without the aid of a doctor—and duplicate the spectacular healing results of institutional oxygen therapy at home in one minute or less. Although the fundamental concept behind the one- minute oxygen therapy is based on a centuries-old truth, it has just been rediscovered and repurposed for use in today’s world. As with any newly discovered truth, it must neces- sarily pass through 3 stages: First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. The truth contained in this book is already self-evident to people in many parts of the world. Many people have awakened to the fact that a simple at-home procedure involving an oxygenating substance represents the ā€œcutting edgeā€ of a new healing paradigm. As more people discover this safe, effective, natural and low cost healing modality for treating both minor health problems as well as the most devastating diseases facing mankind today, including AIDS, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, it may not only improve the quality of people’s lives but also help to solve our national health care crisis. I’ve written this book in hopes that this therapy will become accepted by more doctors not only in the U.S. but all over the world, and that it will become a valuable part of mainstream medical practice. It is also my vision that more people will take control of their own health and healing by using this therapy, and that we will finally have a world free of virtually all diseases. Welcome H202 Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade. I'll continue later on!

Day 33 from seed: This strain is the star of my room thisnrun. Fast buds were not kidding about the growth on these ladies being fast. They have gone crazy this week and now trained , I can see their huge potential already. I do have a bit of a Nitrogen issue happening that I am dealing with . #1 Los girl is contourting in pain from too much N as is #2 as well. they both have odd leaves clawing at the tips and i initially thought overwatering but now i think it is N. No more Mc for the Los pot and only plain water for next feed. #2 is also showing signs of too much N so backing off back to 10g/L Mega crop again to try to correct it. Over all she is doing brilliant and banging on the size. #3 another happy healthy big girl to look forward to smoking

This week my LSD-25 that I mainlined is having issues, I wasn’t too sure if it was heat stress cause tents temps have gone up to 83 the highest and hovers around high 70’s all week, or if it was a calcium issue, potassium, or nute burn. Either way they’re looking CRISPY lol. The other LSD-25 that was just LST, is actually doing quite well with none of those same problems. I flushed out the burnt plant with some regular PH’d water to see if it had any effect and then finished with some soluble gypsum. Other than that the last 2 plants are doing great and chugging along!
