Sour Diesel week 5 of flower, so far im loving these two phenos of Sour Diesel. The Pheno on the right in the first picture is better out of the two. Not much of a smell right now since it's still early for this 10+ week strain. But it has a slight citrus smell with a bit of a gassy smell. Also its looking like they will be some pretty frosty phenos with how the trichomes have been popping up the last couple days. I will probably leave acouple smaller branches to re-veg and clone off of after harvest.

Lacewings seemed to have mostly killed themselves by flying into hot light fixtures. I may have left the UV on which was smart of me :) Done very little to combat if anything but make a sea of carcasses, on the bright side its good nutrition for the soil. Made a concoction of ethanol 70%, equal parts water, and cayenne pepper with a couple of squirts of dish soap. Took around an hour of good scrubbing the entire canopy. Worked a lot more effectively and way cheaper. Scorched earth right now, but it seems to have wiped them out almost entirely very pleased. Attempted a "Fudge I Missed" for the topping. So just time to wait and see how it goes. Question? If I attached a plant to two separate pots but it was connected by rootzone, one has a pH of 7.5 ish the other has 4.5. Would the Intelligence of the plant able to dictate each pot separately to uptake the nutrients best suited to pH or would it still try to draw nitrogen from a pot with a pH where nitrogen struggles to uptake? Food for stoner thought experiments! Another was on my mind. What happens when a plant gets too much light? Well, it burns and curls up leaves. That's the heat radiation, let's remove excess heat, now what? I've always read it's just bad, or not good, but when I look for an explanation on a deeper level it's just bad and you shouldn't do it. So I did. How much can a cannabis plant absorb, 40 moles in a day, ok I'll give it 60 moles. 80 nothing bad ever happened. The answer, finally. Oh great........more questions........ Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules capable of independent existence, containing at least one oxygen atom and one or more unpaired electrons. "Sunlight is the essential source of energy for most photosynthetic organisms, yet sunlight in excess of the organism’s photosynthetic capacity can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to cellular damage. To avoid damage, plants respond to high light (HL) by activating photophysical pathways that safely convert excess energy to heat, which is known as nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) (Rochaix, 2014). While NPQ allows for healthy growth, it also limits the overall photosynthetic efficiency under many conditions. If NPQ were optimized for biomass, yields would improve dramatically, potentially by up to 30% (Kromdijk et al., 2016; Zhu et al., 2010). However, critical information to guide optimization is still lacking, including the molecular origin of NPQ and the mechanism of regulation." What I found most interesting was research pointing out that pH is linked to this defense mechanism. The organism can better facilitate "quenching" when oversaturated with light in a low pH. Now I Know during photosynthesis plants naturally produce exudates (chemicals that are secreted through their roots). Do they have the ability to alter pH themselves using these excretions? Or is that done by the beneficial bacteria? If I can prevent reactive oxygen species from causing damage by "too much light". The extra water needed to keep this level of burn cooled though, I must learn to crawl before I can run. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signaling molecules that enable cells to rapidly respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS plays a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals, and activation of stress-response networks, thus contributing to the establishment of defense mechanisms and plant resilience. Recent advances in the study of ROS signaling in plants include the identification of ROS receptors and key regulatory hubs that connect ROS signaling with other important stress-response signal transduction pathways and hormones, as well as new roles for ROS in organelle-to-organelle and cell-to-cell signaling. Our understanding of how ROS are regulated in cells by balancing production, scavenging, and transport has also increased. In this Review, we discuss these promising developments and how they might be used to increase plant resilience to environmental stress. Temperature stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that adversely affect agricultural productivity worldwide. Temperatures beyond a plant's physiological optimum can trigger significant physiological and biochemical perturbations, reducing plant growth and tolerance to stress. Improving a plant's tolerance to these temperature fluctuations requires a deep understanding of its responses to environmental change. To adapt to temperature fluctuations, plants tailor their acclimatory signal transduction events, specifically, cellular redox state, that are governed by plant hormones, reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulatory systems, and other molecular components. The role of ROS in plants as important signaling molecules during stress acclimation has recently been established. Here, hormone-triggered ROS produced by NADPH oxidases, feedback regulation, and integrated signaling events during temperature stress activate stress-response pathways and induce acclimation or defense mechanisms. At the other extreme, excess ROS accumulation, following temperature-induced oxidative stress, can have negative consequences on plant growth and stress acclimation. The excessive ROS is regulated by the ROS scavenging system, which subsequently promotes plant tolerance. All these signaling events, including crosstalk between hormones and ROS, modify the plant's transcriptomic, metabolomic, and biochemical states and promote plant acclimation, tolerance, and survival. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the ROS, hormones, and their joint role in shaping a plant's responses to high and low temperatures, and we conclude by outlining hormone/ROS-regulated plant-responsive strategies for developing stress-tolerant crops to combat temperature changes. Onward upward for now. Next! Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-carrying molecule known as "the energy currency of life" or "the fuel of life," because it's the universal energy source for all living cells.1 Every living organism consists of cells that rely on ATP for their energy needs. ATP is made by converting the food we eat into energy. It's an essential building block for all life forms. Without ATP, cells wouldn't have the fuel or power to perform functions necessary to stay alive, and they would eventually die. All forms of life rely on ATP to do the things they must do to survive.2 ATP is made of a nitrogen base (adenine) and a sugar molecule (ribose), which create adenosine, plus three phosphate molecules. If adenosine only has one phosphate molecule, it’s called adenosine monophosphate (AMP). If it has two phosphates, it’s called adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Although adenosine is a fundamental part of ATP, when it comes to providing energy to a cell and fueling cellular processes, the phosphate molecules are what really matter. The most energy-loaded composition for adenosine is ATP, which has three phosphates.3 ATP was first discovered in the 1920s. In 1929, Karl Lohmann—a German chemist studying muscle contractions—isolated what we now call adenosine triphosphate in a laboratory. At the time, Lohmann called ATP by a different name. It wasn't until a decade later, in 1939, that Nobel Prize–-winner Fritz Lipmann established that ATP is the universal carrier of energy in all living cells and coined the term "energy-rich phosphate bonds."45 Lipmann focused on phosphate bonds as the key to ATP being the universal energy source for all living cells, because adenosine triphosphate releases energy when one of its three phosphate bonds breaks off to form ADP. ATP is a high-energy molecule with three phosphate bonds; ADP is low-energy with only two phosphate bonds. The Twos and Threes of ATP and ADP Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) when one of its three phosphate molecules breaks free and releases energy (“tri” means “three,” while “di” means “two”). Conversely, ADP becomes ATP when a phosphate molecule is added. As part of an ongoing energy cycle, ADP is constantly recycled back into ATP.3 Much like a rechargeable battery with a fluctuating state of charge, ATP represents a fully charged battery, and ADP represents a "low-power mode." Every time a fully charged ATP molecule loses a phosphate bond, it becomes ADP; energy is released via the process of ATP becoming ADP. On the flip side, when a phosphate bond is added, ADP becomes ATP. When ADP becomes ATP, what was previously a low-charged energy adenosine molecule (ADP) becomes fully charged ATP. This energy-creation and energy-depletion cycle happens time and time again, much like your smartphone battery can be recharged countless times during its lifespan. The human body uses molecules held in the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates we eat or drink as sources of energy to make ATP. This happens through a process called hydrolysis . After food is digested, it's synthesized into glucose, which is a form of sugar. Glucose is the main source of fuel that our cells' mitochondria use to convert caloric energy from food into ATP, which is an energy form that can be used by cells. ATP is made via a process called cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Mitochondria are tiny subunits within a cell that specialize in extracting energy from the foods we eat and converting it into ATP. Mitochondria can convert glucose into ATP via two different types of cellular respiration: Aerobic (with oxygen) Anaerobic (without oxygen) Aerobic cellular respiration transforms glucose into ATP in a three-step process, as follows: Step 1: Glycolysis Step 2: The Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle) Step 3: Electron transport chain During glycolysis, glucose (i.e., sugar) from food sources is broken down into pyruvate molecules. This is followed by the Krebs cycle, which is an aerobic process that uses oxygen to finish breaking down sugar and harnesses energy into electron carriers that fuel the synthesis of ATP. Lastly, the electron transport chain (ETC) pumps positively charged protons that drive ATP production throughout the mitochondria’s inner membrane.2 ATP can also be produced without oxygen (i.e., anaerobic), which is something plants, algae, and some bacteria do by converting the energy held in sunlight into energy that can be used by a cell via photosynthesis. Anaerobic exercise means that your body is working out "without oxygen." Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in human cells when there isn't enough oxygen available during an anaerobic workout. If no oxygen is present during cellular respiration, pyruvate can't enter the Krebs cycle and is oxidized into lactic acid. In the absence of oxygen, lactic acid fermentation makes ATP anaerobically. The burning sensation you feel in your muscles when you're huffing and puffing during anaerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that maxes out your aerobic capacity or during a strenuous weight-lifting workout is lactic acid, which is used to make ATP via anaerobic glycolysis. During aerobic exercise, mitochondria have enough oxygen to make ATP aerobically. However, when you're out of breath and your cells don’t have enough oxygen to perform cellular respiration aerobically, the process can still happen anaerobically, but it creates a temporary burning sensation in your skeletal muscles. Why ATP Is So Important? ATP is essential for life and makes it possible for us to do the things we do. Without ATP, cells wouldn't be able to use the energy held in food to fuel cellular processes, and an organism couldn't stay alive. As a real-world example, when a car runs out of gas and is parked on the side of the road, the only thing that will make the car drivable again is putting some gasoline back in the tank. For all living cells, ATP is like the gas in a car's fuel tank. Without ATP, cells wouldn't have a source of usable energy, and the organism would die. Eating a well-balanced diet and staying hydrated should give your body all the resources it needs to produce plenty of ATP. Although some athletes may slightly improve their performance by taking supplements or ergonomic aids designed to increase ATP production, it's debatable that oral adenosine triphosphate supplementation actually increases energy. An average cell in the human body uses about 10 million ATP molecules per second and can recycle all of its ATP in less than a minute. Over 24 hours, the human body turns over its weight in ATP. You can last weeks without food. You can last days without water. You can last minutes without oxygen. You can last 16 seconds at most without ATP. Food amounts to one-third of ATP production within the human body.

These were just used for dry sift, together with the poor Iced Outs and the small Sugar Cane. Don't grow this freebie if your space/time is limited.

Started with the LST. The idea is to not top them, just do LST. This week I'll probably start making my SCROG net and start tucking.

Left them alone this week except for a watering. First strong one I gave them. Found a mushroom in my soil a couple days later. Think I might have disturbed him because he died on me.

Englischversion below Deutsch: Tag 29 Veg: Alle 2 Tage wird das LST wiederholt. Die meisten Triebe haben den Rand des Topes erreicht. Es sind im schnitt nun 16 Haupttriebe pro Pflanze. Zurückliegende Nodien werden beim LST entfernt - so verschwendet die Pflanze keine Energie in die Produktion von Biomasse die ohnehin weggeschnitten wird. Durch Unachtsamkeit und zu starkes LST sind mittlerweile 5 Triebe gebrochen (ca 1,6 Triebe pro Pflanze). Wie schon letze Woche angemerkt - eignen sich nicht alle Triebe zum Toppen. Es muss sich täglich die Struktur der Pflanze angeschaut werden und entsprechend entschieden werden. Tag 31 Veg: Der Plan läuft in die Richtung, die Damen am Anfang der Woche 6 in die Großen 40L zu setzen und dann den SOG zu starten. Heute war wider LST dran. Da ich genug Haupttriebe habe - werde ich vorerst nicht weiter Toppen (Sollte sich ein Trieb als äußerst potent erweisen, wird nochmal über ein Topping nachgedacht. Das Große Zeit 120x60x200 ist bereits aufgebaut und das Drainsystem installiert (Abwasser fließt direkt aus dem Zelt raus - präventiv gegen Trauermücken und andere Schädlinge die sich bei stehendem Wasser einnisten) Tag 33 Veg: Die Damen stehen nun in 40 Litertöpfen aus 80% AllMix und 20% Wurmerde. Angegossen mit ca 10L pro Topf (also in etwa 25% des Topfvolumen). Um Trockenstellen im Substrat zu vermeiden, habe ich bereits beim mischen des Substrats Wasser beigefügt. Bis das sich das Klima im Zelt eingestellt hat, dauert es etwas - daher überprüfe ich regelmäßig RLF und Temp. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English: Day 29 – Vegetative Phase: LST is repeated every two days. Most shoots have reached the edge of the pot. On average, there are now 16 main shoots per plant. Lagging nodes are removed during LST so that the plant does not waste energy producing biomass that would be removed later anyway. Due to inattention and overly aggressive LST, a total of five shoots have broken so far (approximately 1.6 shoots per plant). As already noted last week, not all shoots are suitable for topping. The plant structure must be assessed daily, and decisions should be made accordingly. Day 31 – Vegetative Phase: The plan is moving toward transplanting the plants into the large 40-liter pots at the beginning of week 6 and then starting the SOG. Today, LST was performed again. Since there are already enough main shoots, no further topping is planned for now. If a shoot proves to be exceptionally vigorous, additional topping may be reconsidered. The large tent (120 × 60 × 200 cm) is already set up, and the drainage system has been installed. Wastewater is drained directly out of the tent as a preventive measure against fungus gnats and other pests that tend to establish themselves in standing water. Day 33 – Vegetative Phase: The plants are now placed in 40-liter pots filled with a substrate consisting of 80% All-Mix and 20% worm compost. Each pot was watered with approximately 10 liters, corresponding to about 25% of the total pot volume. To avoid dry spots within the substrate, water was already added during the mixing process. It takes some time for the tent climate to stabilize after transplanting; therefore, relative humidity and temperature are monitored regularly.

d6 Algunas ya muestran pistilos. La KAK del centro tiene las hojas viejas empezando a mostrar signos de carencias. Puede que un día de esta semana haga un poco de defoliación. d8 Se le han quitado 2 pares de hojas de la parte superior que tapan las ramas satélite y así podrán recibir más luz y desarrollarse. Me viene bien hacerlo ahora y no antes, porque no quiero que estiren mucho. Todavía tiene agua en la maceta, me esperare unos días para regar. d10 Se han regado. Lucen bastante bien, han puesto a crecer las ramas satélite.

Möge die Macht mit euch sein Growmies, Cookies Terpene mit Zitrone liegt wahrlich in der Luft. Das minimale bud bleaching scheint genetisch bedingt zu sein da ich den Abstand zur Lampe erhöht habe und jetzt laut photone 980-1000ppfd oben an der Spitze. Die Alderaan Cookies Automatic von V-Buds ist bis jetzt einfach ein wunderschönes gesamt Paket und einfach schön anzusehen nachdem ich mir die Trichomen angeschaut habe würde ich sagen 1 eher noch 2 Wochen damit sie ausreifen kann da ich bevorzugt Ernte wenn alle Trichome milchig sind und vereinzelt bernstein. Bin echt gespannt wie lange sie braucht hoffentlich purpelt sie noch als Sahnehäubchen aber wenn nicht auch egal.

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W14F9 8/31- 9/6 8/31 I did some pics and trichome checks. The trichomes are still mostly clear. With the lock out resolved, finally black opium is developing some pinks and oranges in her buds. I see pistils still pushing out when her trichomes are still clear. I think at least 3 more weeks are needed. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿, 💫Natrona💫

Der Samen ist aus haze Gras entsprungen kein breeder. Wahrscheinlich amnesia oder silver haze. Zumindest rauche ich diese Sorten meistens und daher denke ich der Samen stammt von diesen Sorten ab. Letztes Jahr war es das selbe und es waren Photoperiodische sativa strain. Falls jemand weiß welche Sorte es wird kann mir gerne schreiben. Heute umgetopft in seiner endgültigen Größe.

Day 64: Her buds are filling out. Still no trichomes and very little smell, but she seems happy and will probably just take her time to develop her buds. Reducing the watering frequency to give her some drought stress. Day 66: Trichome production slowly starts.

Another week down and things just keep getting better and better with this one. Big fat buds laced in resin and the smell is soooo good and strong! Very strawberry-like with a ton of gas that my carbon filter is doing a poor job of covering up. Oh well, smells good. :) I will start flushing about mid way through its growing week and then chop shortly after. It’s getting so close to finished I’m just waiting for more amber. I’m mostly cloudy right now.
