D63 - The start of another week. I completely forgot to take any pics in time so grabbed a quick one right after the lights were out. I'll post better pics tomorrow. D64 - I watered each girl with 2.5-liters of water @ pH 6.5, and snapped some better pics. ;) D68 - All is well in the tent. I gave each girl 2.5-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5. I also did some additional defoliation. D69 - The end of the final week of veg. The girls are healthy and vibrant. #1 is starting to get bigger than #2, even though she is one week younger. She is also more thirsty so I gave her around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.5 while #2 didn't need any.

Second week of flower, time to stretch! Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop! The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm. Last watering was 15/10 👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3. 👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty First signs of pistils have shown! I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66 BioHeaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5 BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5 TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1 Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4 👽👉19/10 The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands! 👽👉20/10 Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe. 👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy. 👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed. 👽👉23/10 Waterday* I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77 added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed Bioheaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2 BioBloom 1.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

ANTHOCYANIN production is primarily controlled by the Cryptochrome (CR1) Photoreceptor ( !! UV and Blue Spectrums are primary drivers in the production of the pigment that replaces chlorophyll, isn't that awesome! 1. Diverse photoreceptors in plants Many civilizations, including the sun god of ancient Egypt, thought that the blessings of sunlight were the source of life. In fact, the survival of all life, including humans, is supported by the photosynthesis of plants that capture solar energy. Plants that perform photosynthesis have no means of transportation except for some algae. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor various changes in the external environment and respond appropriately to the place to survive. Among various environmental information, light is especially important information for plants that perform photosynthesis. In the process of evolution, plants acquired phytochrome, which mainly receives light in the red light region, and multiple blue light receptors, including his hytropin and phototropin, in order to sense the light environment. .. In addition to these, an ultraviolet light receptor named UVR8 was recently discovered. The latest image of the molecular structure and function of these various plant photoreceptors (Fig. 1), focusing on phytochrome and phototropin. Figure 1 Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of phytochrome, cryptochrome, phototropin, and UVR8. The dashed line represents each bioactive absorption spectrum. 2. Phytochrome; red-far red photoreversible molecular switch What is phytochrome? Phytochrome is a photochromic photoreceptor, and has two absorption types, a red light absorption type Pr (absorption maximum wavelength of about 665 nm) and a far-red light absorption type Pfr (730 nm). Reversible light conversion between the two by red light and far-red light, respectively(Fig. 1A, solid line and broken line). In general, Pfr is the active form that causes a physiological response. With some exceptions, phytochrome can be said to function as a photoreversible molecular switch. The background of the discovery is as follows. There are some types of plants that require light for germination (light seed germination). From that study, it was found that germination was induced by red light, the effect was inhibited by subsequent far-red light irradiation, and this could be repeated, and the existence of photoreceptors that reversibly photoconvert was predicted. In 1959, its existence was confirmed by the absorption spectrum measurement of the yellow sprout tissue, and it was named phytochrome. Why does the plant have a sensor to distinguish between such red light and far-red light? There is no big difference between the red and far-red light regions in the open-field spectrum of sunlight, but the proportion of red light is greatly reduced due to the absorption of chloroplasts in the shade of plants. Similar changes in light quality occur in the evening sunlight. Plants perceive this difference in light quality as the ratio of Pr and Pfr, recognize the light environment, and respond to it. Subsequent studies have revealed that it is responsible for various photomorphogenic reactions such as photoperiodic flowering induction, shade repellent, and deyellowing (greening). Furthermore, with the introduction of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (At) and the development of molecular biological analysis methods, research has progressed dramatically, and his five types of phytochromes (phyA-E) are present in Arabidopsis thaliana. all right. With the progress of the genome project, Fi’s tochrome-like photoreceptors were found in cyanobacteria, a photosynthetic prokaryotes other than plants. Furthermore, in non-photosynthetic bacteria, a homologue molecule called bacteriophytochrome photoreceptor (BphP) was found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) and radiation-resistant bacteria (Deinococcus radiodurans, Dr). Domain structure of phytochrome molecule Phytochrome molecule can be roughly divided into N-terminal side and C-terminal side region. PAS (Per / Arndt / Sim: blue), GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase / adenylyl cyclase / FhlA: green), PHY (phyto-chrome: purple) 3 in the N-terminal region of plant phytochrome (Fig. 2A) There are two domains and an N-terminal extension region (NTE: dark blue), and phytochromobilin (PΦB), which is one of the ring-opening tetrapyrroles, is thioether-bonded to the system stored in GAF as a chromophore. ing. PAS is a domain involved in the interaction between signal transduction-related proteins, and PHY is a phytochrome-specific domain. There are two PASs and her histidine kinase-related (HKR) domain (red) in the C-terminal region, but the histidine essential for kinase activity is not conserved. 3. Phototropin; photosynthetic efficiency optimized blue light receptor What is phototropin? Charles Darwin, who is famous for his theory of evolution, wrote in his book “The power of move-ment in plants” published in 1882 that plants bend toward blue light. Approximately 100 years later, the protein nph1 (nonphoto-tropic hypocotyl 1) encoded by one of the causative genes of Arabidopsis mutants causing phototropic abnormalities was identified as a blue photoreceptor. Later, another isotype npl1 was found and renamed phototropin 1 (phot1) and 2 (phot2), respectively. In addition to phototropism, phototropin is damaged by chloroplast photolocalization (chloroplasts move through the epidermal cells of the leaves and gather on the cell surface under appropriate light intensity for photosynthesis. As a photoreceptor for reactions such as escaping to the side of cells under dangerous strong light) and stomata (reactions that open stomata to optimize the uptake of carbon dioxide, which is the rate-determining process of photosynthetic reactions). It became clear that it worked. In this way, phototropin can be said to be a blue light receptor responsible for optimizing photosynthetic efficiency. Domain structure and LOV photoreaction of phototropin molecule Phototropin molecule has two photoreceptive domains (LOV1 and LOV2) called LOV (Light-Oxygen-Voltage sensing) on the N-terminal side, and serine / on the C-terminal side. It is a protein kinase that forms threonine kinase (STK) (Fig. 4Aa) and whose activity is regulated by light. LOV is one molecule as a chromophore, he binds FMN (flavin mononucleotide) non-covalently. The LOV forms an α/βfold, and the FMN is located on a β-sheet consisting of five antiparallel β-strands (Fig. 4B). The FMN in the ground state LOV shows the absorption spectrum of a typical oxidized flavin protein with a triplet oscillation structure and an absorption maximum wavelength of 450 nm, and is called D450 (Fig. 1C and Fig. 4E). After being excited to the singlet excited state by blue light, the FMN shifts to the triplet excited state (L660t *) due to intersystem crossing, and then the C4 (Fig. 4C) of the isoaroxazine ring of the FMN is conserved in the vicinity. It forms a transient accretionary prism with the tain (red part in Fig. 4B Eα) (S390I). When this cysteine is replaced with alanine (C / A substitution), the addition reaction does not occur. The effect of adduct formation propagates to the protein moiety, causing kinase activation (S390II). After that, the formed cysteine-flavin adduct spontaneously dissociates and returns to the original D450 (Fig. 4E, dark regression reaction). Phototropin kinase activity control mechanism by LOV2 Why does phototropin have two LOVs? Atphot1 was found as a protein that is rapidly autophosphorylated when irradiated with blue light. The effect of the above C / A substitution on this self-phosphorylation reaction and phototropism was investigated, and LOV2 is the main photomolecular switch in both self-phosphorylation and phototropism. It turns out that it functions as. After that, from experiments using artificial substrates, STK has a constitutive activity, LOV2 functions as an inhibitory domain of this activity, and the inhibition is eliminated by photoreaction, while LOV1 is kinase light. It was shown to modify the photosensitivity of the activation reaction. In addition to this, LOV1 was found to act as a dimerization site from the crystal structure and his SAXS. What kind of molecular mechanism does LOV2 use to photoregulate kinase activity? The following two modules play important roles in this intramolecular signal transduction. Figure 4 (A) Domain structure of LOV photoreceptors. a: Phototropin b: Neochrome c: FKF1 family protein d: Aureochrome (B) Crystal structure of auto barley phot1 LOV2. (C) Structure of FMN isoaroxazine ring. (D) Schematic diagram of the functional domain and module of Arabidopsis thaliana phot1. L, A’α, and Jα represent linker, A’α helix, and Jα helix, respectively. (E) LOV photoreaction. (F) Molecular structure model (mesh) of the LOV2-STK sample (black line) containing A’α of phot2 obtained based on SAXS under dark (top) and under bright (bottom). The yellow, red, and green space-filled models represent the crystal structures of LOV2-Jα, protein kinase A N-lobe, and C-robe, respectively, and black represents FMN. See the text for details. 1) Jα. LOV2 C of oat phot1-to α immediately after the terminus Rix (Jα) is present (Fig. 4D), which interacts with the β-sheet (Fig. 4B) that forms the FMN-bound scaffold of LOV2 in the dark, but unfolds and dissociates from the β-sheet with photoreaction. It was shown by NMR that it does. According to the crystal structure of LOV2-Jα, this Jα is located on the back surface of the β sheet and mainly has a hydrophobic interaction. The formation of S390II causes twisting of the isoaroxazine ring and protonation of N5 (Fig. 4C). As a result, the glutamine side chain present on his Iβ strand (Fig. 4B) in the β-sheet rotates to form a hydrogen bond with this protonated N5. Jα interacts with this his Iβ strand, and these changes are thought to cause the unfold-ing of Jα and dissociation from the β-sheet described above. Experiments such as amino acid substitution of Iβ strands revealed that kinases exhibit constitutive activity when this interaction is eliminated, and that Jα plays an important role in photoactivation of kinases. 2) A’α / Aβ gap. Recently, several results have been reported showing the involvement of amino acids near the A’α helix (Fig. 4D) located upstream of the N-terminal of LOV2 in kinase photoactivation. Therefore, he investigated the role of this A’α and its neighboring amino acids in kinase photoactivation, photoreaction, and Jα structural change for Atphot1. The LOV2-STK polypeptide (Fig. 4D, underlined in black) was used as a photocontrollable kinase for kinase activity analysis. As a result, it was found that the photoactivation of the kinase was abolished when amino acid substitution was introduced into the A’α / Aβ gap between A’α and Aβ of the LOV2 core. Interestingly, he had no effect on the structural changes in Jα examined on the peptide map due to the photoreaction of LOV2 or trypsin degradation. Therefore, the A’α / Aβ gap is considered to play an important role in intramolecular signal transduction after Jα. Structural changes detected by SAXS Structural changes of Jα have been detected by various biophysical methods other than NMR, but structural information on samples including up to STK is reported only by his results to his SAXS. Not. The SAXS measurement of the Atphot2 LOV2-STK polypeptide showed that the radius of inertia increased from 32.4 Å to 34.8 Å, and the molecular model (Fig. 4F) obtained by the ab initio modeling software GASBOR is that of LOV2 and STK. It was shown that the N lobes and C lobes lined up in tandem, and the relative position of LOV2 with respect to STK shifted by about 13 Å under light irradiation. The difference in the molecular model between the two is considered to reflect the structural changes that occur in the Jα and A’α / Aβ gaps mentioned above. Two phototropins with different photosensitivity In the phototropic reaction of Arabidopsis Arabidopsis, Arabidopsis responds to a very wide range of light intensities from 10–4 to 102 μmol photon / sec / m2. At that time, phot1 functions as an optical sensor in a wide range from low light to strong light, while phot2 reacts with light stronger than 1 μmol photon / sec / m2. What is the origin of these differences? As is well known, animal photoreceptors have a high photosensitivity due to the abundance of rhodopsin and the presence of biochemical amplification mechanisms. The exact abundance of phot1 and phot2 in vivo is unknown, but interesting results have been obtained in terms of amplification. The light intensity dependence of the photoactivation of the LOV2-STK polypeptide used in the above kinase analysis was investigated. It was found that phot1 was about 10 times more photosensitive than phot2. On the other hand, when the photochemical reactions of both were examined, it was found that the rate of the dark return reaction of phot1 was about 10 times slower than that of phot2. This result indicates that the longer the lifetime of S390II, which is in the kinase-activated state, the higher the photosensitivity of kinase activation. This correlation was further confirmed by extending the lifespan of her S390II with amino acid substitutions. This alone cannot explain the widespread differences in photosensitivity between phot1 and phot2, but it may explain some of them. Furthermore, it is necessary to investigate in detail protein modifications such as phosphorylation and the effects of phot interacting factors on photosensitivity. Other LOV photoreceptors Among fern plants and green algae, phytochrome ɾphotosensory module (PSM) on the N-terminal side and chimera photoreceptor with full-length phototropin on the C-terminal side, neochrome (Fig. There are types with 4Ab). It has been reported that some neochromes play a role in chloroplast photolocalization as a red light receiver. It is considered that fern plants have such a chimera photoreceptor in order to survive in a habitat such as undergrowth in a jungle where only red light reaches. In addition to this, plants have only one LOV domain, and three proteins involved in the degradation of photomorphogenesis-related proteins, FKF1 (Flavin-binding, Kelch repeat, F-box 1, ZTL (ZEITLUPE)), LKP2 ( There are LOV Kelch Protein2) (Fig. 4Ac) and aureochrome (Fig. 4Ad), which has a bZip domain on the N-terminal side of LOV and functions as a gene transcription factor. 4. Cryptochrome and UVR8 Cryptochrome is one of the blue photoreceptors and forms a superfamily with the DNA photoreceptor photolyase. It has FAD (flavin adenine dinucle-otide) as a chromophore and tetrahydrofolic acid, which is a condensing pigment. The ground state of FAD is considered to be the oxidized type, and the radical type (broken line in Fig. 1B) generated by blue light irradiation is considered to be the signaling state. The radical type also absorbs in the green to orange light region, and may widen the wavelength region of the plant morphogenesis reaction spectrum. Cryptochrome uses blue light to control physiological functions similar to phytochrome. It was identified as a photoreceptor from one of the causative genes of UVR8 Arabidopsis thaliana, and the chromophore is absorbed in the UVB region by a Trp triad consisting of three tryptophans (Fig. 1D). It is involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and anthocyanins that function as UV scavengers in plants. Conclusion It is thought that plants have acquired various photoreceptors necessary for their survival during a long evolutionary process. The photoreceptors that cover the existing far-red light to UVB mentioned here are considered to be some of them. More and more diverse photoreceptor genes are conserved in cyanobacteria and marine plankton. By examining these, it is thought that the understanding of plant photoreceptors will be further deepened.

We started week. 10 Hey there guys I've been super busy Day 64 Check video Fed them 1670ppm Followed by water with lil runoff Day 65 Check video Day 66 Outdoors for 3hrs Rested for 6hrs no lights Because of blackout I know it sucks Humidity 60% Day 67 Humidity 45% Got some vids and pics for you guys She's all good Buds fattening up Day 68 Water them a lil bit 0.5l each Temp 24C RH 45% Day 69 Outdoors for a day since we didn't have electricity from 10am til 7pm Good thing we have sun light right? And it's very bright but very hot as well Temp reached 33 Celsius but we had her on sprayed mist until it dried out completely than refresh her again and so She didn't stress at all shes good After thar electricity came back and we turn on the setup grow lights ac and all stuff Back to normal again Day 70 Same stuff than 69 Nothing wrong all is good Temp reached 33 then dropped to 24 at night time Coming up next week last meal nutes

This week the plant grew a lot even when I did her another defoliation (I’m really crazy I know) she’s auto but she didn’t show any stress with that. Is just 4 weeks left to harvest. I broke the air stone when I was doing the solution change, so I have to buy a new one, the good thing is that the new one works much better. Let’s see how it goes this week, I did another and hopefully the last defo today (last pic) and we’ll se e the next one how she responded.

the smell is just ridiculous. I'm pretty proud of that. the buds are bulking nice, they are very dense and I am happy with the amount of bud I'm looking at. I go in a couple times a day to manually move the branches around to make sure there is air going everywhere a little, I pinch a few leaves here and there. Pretty much on auto pilot now, going to start watering twice a day now one nutrient and one straight water. Thanks for lookin! Also. my week count is wrong, my weeks are based on 8 nutrient mixes i use, i call them weeks 1-8, i start flushing my week 9, but for reference, this grow, week 6 ends on day 45, I'm more worried on the plant then the calendar. I have a 70 day general target from Garden of Green, I watch and change my "weeks" according to plant. I won't lie this grow looks and smells great to me, the smell is ridiculous how strong it is! and I am worried I will find excuses to cut earlier, lol, but i will fight that

February 23, 2024 Day 8 Both plants were watered today with 250 ml PHed to 5.8 around the whole surface. I plan to bump it up to 500 ml next watering possibly with recharge. I'd like to note that both plants look identical. Even both have the exact same yellow leaves. I think they are hungry. The recharge should bring the soil back to life. I probably should have started the recharge today, but I don't want to add anything that will cause any stress. It's strange. They are both growing perfectly. But the leaves are yellow. I may ask a question about this issue. First I'll try the recharge though. The lighting is perfect. I haven't had to change a thing yet. PPFD is the same, power is still at 30% and the distance is about a half inch shorter. I'll switch to DLI when they start getting nodes. I'll also switch to discuss individual plants at the same time. The environment is also near perfect. Temps are 77° during the day and around 68 at night. I think I'll increase the temp to 70° or 72° at night. That should improve the VPD as well. Currently it hovers around 0.77 kPa. I'd like it to be around 0.85 kPa. I'll also slowly drop the RH down through the course of this week. It's in the sweet spot range, but I want it around 60% by the end of the week. It should put the VPD to about 0.95 kPa. Perfect for Veg. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 71.7% VPD: 0.82 kPa February 24, 2024 Today we start to focus on these yellow leaves. I've decided that it's definitely a deficiency and maybe the soil needs that slight boost. So to help things along a bit, I added 1/4 tsp of Recharge to the gallon today. I gave 250 ml to both ladies, but this time I covered them up with a Starbucks cup. It seemed to do what I wanted. The goal was to get more outside soil moisture to promote the roots to spread out. However, I don't necessarily want to soak the base with a new nutrient. Hopefully, the roots will grow into the nutrient rich soil outside of the cup. As for watering itself, I feel like I'm not watering enough to prepare the soil for late veg. I feel like 250 ml every other day was fine for the early seedling stage, but I need the soil to be moist throughout the container by the end of the week. I'd like to see a tiny bit or runoff. In theory, the roots should evenly spread throughout the container and take more time to grow down. It may increase the veg time however. I don't really want that, but I also don't want underwhelming plants. As for tackling the yellowing, hopefully it goes away in a day or 2. It should if a deficiency is the issue. I'd also like to mention the temp is a bit low today. 16° outside. That being said, the tent temp is currently at 70° but should be climbing throughout the rest of the day. Hopefully in the next couple of hours. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 67.6% VPD: 0.90 kPa February 25, 2024 I have a feeling I was right about more water. The soil moisture level has dropped to 35% and I definitely need it to stay around 45% while I continue getting the entire container. That being said, I may do another 250 ml today. If not, I'll do 500 ml tomorrow. Half of the watering will be done with the domes off and the other half will have domes on like last time as to not over water the plants. Speaking of plants, these 2 looks great. Still yellowing leaves, but it seems to be going away. The leaves are nice and broad from what I can tell so far. But it's just the beginning. Also, the first set of true leaves is now on its own node and has started to stretch a bit. The Seedling stage is almost over. Welcome to the Veg stage. Starting next week, I'll be adding the Advanced Nutrients 3 part base along with Recharge. I do have Bud Candy, so I'll be adding that as well. Very small doses though. I want to see how they do without a massive regimen of nutrients, although I have a feeling I'll be needing them. At least I'm mostly set up for the Flowering stage. There's just a few things I need. Bud factor x, Big Bud, B-52, Rhino Skin and Bud Ignitor. Hopefully I'll be getting those in the next couple of weeks. Especially because of the super short veg time this strain is supposed to have. I'll need it all in like 2 to 3 weeks. Anyway, that should be all for the day. Lighting is fine. Temp is still a bit low this morning, but I'm certain it'll be perfect in a couple of hours. It's not freezing out today. Update: I decided to water in the 250 ml Recharge after all without the dome this time. Tomorrow I'll water another 250 ml with domes on and so forth until the container is properly watered. I'll stop using the domes when the plants get too big. Probably before the container is watered. But I'll still continue the outside watering until then. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73° currently RH: 63.5% estimated VPD: 0.94 kPa estimated (The estimations are based on the averages of 2 probes. One at soil level and one just above the seedlings. The RH is vastly different between the two. It's mostly due to the small humidifier in the center. It covers all of the plants, but doesn't lift up enough to get to the canopy probe. So the canopy probe is at 47.6% while the probe at soil level is 81.4%. Same thing for the VPD. Just used the average of the 2 probes.) February 26, 2024 As I said yesterday, I watered in 250 ml today with domes on. This will be the last dome on watering. They are already just barely touching the sides. Anyway, 250 ml of Recharge today. Nothing else to do today. The yellowing seems to have stopped, but it's still yellow and not turning green yet. Regardless, they are in great shape. Nice growth. Lighting is at 280 ppfd. DLI: 18.1 mol/m²/d The plants are also about 2 3/4" tall or 6 cm. Honestly, every time I hit this part of the seedling stage, I freak out because the plants don't grow. It's just the roots that are spreading right now, hence the extra watering. I have to keep up with the spread. So far I'm hoping that's working. I'll keep up with the 250 ml per day for the rest of this week. Then I'll move to 500 ml every other day for week 3. Then I should be good to go after that. Hopefully I won't have to water much after that until flowering starts. We shall see if my technique is correct. I still have to install the basins and fill them up. Maybe I'll do that after week 3 or until the plants need to be spaced out for size. Which ever comes first. I think it will be based on the water and not size. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.5° RH: 51.6 kPa (currently 70%) VPD: 1.34 kPa (false) (currently 0.83 kPa) February 27, 2024 Today, both ladies got a nice misting and will be getting 250 ml without dome PHed to 6.0 when the water reaches room temp. Either I'm getting used to the yellowing or it's getting better. I can't tell. Hahahaha. Anyway, they are very healthy from what I can tell. The leaves are nice and broad with upward growth is super smoothe. Outward growth is also quite steady. Nothing else for the day so far. I'll update as needed. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.16 kPa February 28, 2024 Both ladies got their daily dose of 250 ml water PHed at 5.95 with the moisture level hovering around 50%. I'm not sure if the 250 ml at a time is enough to start penetrating deeper into the soil. However, when I start the 500 ml per watering next week, it should start penetrating deeper. That way the fast growing roots have perfectly moist soil to travel down to. I believe it's time to allow the tap root to dig deep. Lighting is looking really good. Next week, I'll increase the intensity to 350 ppfd or a DLI of 22.7 mol/m²/d. The ideal DLI is 20 mol/m²/d, but I feel like these ladies like the slightly extra light. They may even like even more. They are praying almost perfectly. So I'll leave it alone for now. I think instead of dropping the light distance, I'll increase the power and adjust accordingly. Both of the plants are still fairly light. Not exactly yellow anymore, but still light. I think the boost of base nutrients will help with the possible nitrogen deficiency. I'll also add Cal/Mag. Covering all the primary basics. Plus I don't really have any other nutrients for the veg stage. I'll also start the regular regimen during week 3 of veg. Big Bud, Bud Candy, Tasty Terpenes so far. I'll try to get a few other nutrients that are supposed to be in my regimen as well. I may not be able to get them in time, but if I can, I will. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.09 kPa February 29, 2024 It's the last day of this week. As we move into week 2, things will be changing quite a bit. Watering will change and the nutrient regimen will be started. Lighting will also be changing. Everything increased. These two are still a bit light green. Not quite as yellow as before, but I expect that will change in the next day or two, when they start getting the nutrients they clearly need. Lighting will be increased as well. DLI: 22.7 mol/m²/d PAR: 350 ppfd. I may increase the power and leave the light, but I think it will be a mix of both. I'd like to keep the light at 30% for the next few days before the growth really starts. Then I can increase the power. I'd like to keep the light a bit higher than 24" as I believe I have enough power to keep the distance for a good footprint. I'll be changing the watering schedule from 250 ml daily to 500 ml every other day. I also plan to install the bottom feed system as soon as the plants hit the edges of their containers. Given the fact that I'm going to start the Advanced Nutrients 3 part base solution tomorrow, I should see some immediate growth from these two. I'd like to note that both plants are very healthy and look great! One thing I did notice is their height. The rear plant (Tropicana Cookies) is about a half inch taller than the front plant (Tropicana C). However, from the light, the distance is the exact same. That being said, I found that the rear containers soil level is about a half inch lower than that of the front. Interesting indeed. I will keep note of the height as well. If I'm right, the height should remain roughly a half inch difference until I start training. Either way, it's an interesting observation, but won't matter soon enough. The whole canopy will be level anyway. Update: I realized my plants were reaching a bit too much and leaning in toward the light. That being said, they definitely need more light, so I lowered it until I hit a DLI of 19.8 mol/m²/d. That way when I bring it up to 22.7 mol/m²/d it won't be hit so hard immediately. I should have dropped the light down a day or two ago, but oh well. It will be on point for the rest of the grow. Also, the temp is back to normal. Just waiting for the RH to catch up. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.04 kPa

Ich bin der Meinung das Bilder mehr als 1000 Worte sagen. Ich hab sie in den letzten Tagen ordentlich gespült und dann dunkel gestellt. Heute also am Ende der 12. Woche habe ich sie letztendlich geerntet. Die trichome waren alle milchig bis bärnstein Farbend. Ich lasse sie jetzt eine Woche mit eingeschalteter Abluft troknen.

Welcome to week 10. 7/9-15 Grow family, friends and followers, for the most part, I've basically been flushing 3 gallons each plant every 2 days. I think it is helping both Gaia and Circe recover from nutrient lock out. I see tufts of new flowers forming on some top buds. In the flushing, I still see tea color run off but I will return to feeding very lightly this week. Measurements for one gallon but make 4 or 5 gallons of fertilizer solution. 7/9 flushed ladies with 3 gallons and picture day. 7/ 10 I already feel behind on this week. I had to rush watering my plants in the tent yesterday so I could prep the sides and condiments for a cookout. After eating we played games then, called it early as a storm was heading our way. I was going to do my diary up date last night but the storm took out our power. So today loaded yesterdays pics 7/11 ferigating day. All got flushed 3 gallons of water. After using, then I fertilized with additional 1gals Fertilizer TPS1 15 ml in 4 gal Signal 7.5 ml in 4 gal Each plant received 1gal. Also baking day -Banana Brownie recipe in week 2 Natrona's recipe diary. This is free of eggs, gluten and sugar. And I'm trying to create videos. Tried adding music and adding my IG avatar. Needs work and for me, sure didn't come easy. 7/12 I added a humidifier to the tent yesterday to bring VPD in line. It's getting too hot and with low humidity, the vpd is bordering on the red zone. Temps are heating hotter here so our a/c has to work harder and still not doing the cooling necessary. It is also cooling the tent by about 5 degrees. The drip trays were empty this morning. That means that after ferigating yesterday, any runoff in the bins was drank overnight. I did not top off the drip bins with tap water today. I'm letting them go a day or two without any water. I'm seeing more new tufts of hairs on lower buds. Yay.👍 7/13 water only and pictures. Also made osteoarthritis lotion.. week 3 Natrona's recipes 7/14 checking in. The girls are doing fine. No water today and bins are dry. Also at 10x magnifying, I am starting to see trichomes 👍 Pics taken. 7/15 Ferigate day. flushed with 1 gal each then fertilized in 4 gal 22ml TPS1 and 9ml Signal Thanks for stopping by,

Week 7, we are in full flower and I show you the feeding today, very simple and not much to it. The plant drinks this 25 liter tank empty like nothing, that's a good sign, she takes in the nutrients and grows rapidly. Still cleaning some leaves and branches here and there, will update when we made some more progress, so far everything is going well.

Danke Divine Seeds für die interessante Sorte das ist die erste von 3 Eltern: Paplo Escobar x Unbenannte Autoflowering Sativa Genetik: 90% Sativa Blütentyp: Autoflower Blütezeit: 14-15 Wochen THC: 25-27% CBD: 0-1% Innenhöhe: 110 - 150 cm Außenhöhe: 150cm Ertrag Innenanbau: 600-800 g/m2 Ertrag Außenanbau: Bis zu 400g/Pflanze Gattung: Feminisiert -Nun geht es Los und wir sind gespannt was uns mit dieser Sorte erwartet, wir werden sie im kleine Anzuchzelt vorziehen und nach der Keimung sie für ca. 4 Wochen dort wachsen lassen -Sie wurden in einen 12 Liter Topf gepflanzt wo wir eine kokos-quelltablette in die Mitte des Topfes eingelegt haben und dort den Samen eingesetzt. Mit dieser Technik haben wir die Beste Erfahrung gemacht. -Tag 1 Heute ist der 04.06.2025. Sie ist am 4 Tag nach dem einpflanzen gekeimt. -Tag 3 sie Streckt sich auch schon sehr Richtung licht und sieht gesund aus. -Tag 5 Heute hat sie wieder Wasser bekommen. sieht immer noch gesund. -Tag 7 Heute ist der letzte tag der erste Woche. Wir habe versucht eine Timelapse zu erstellen aber leide ist die Qualität nicht Optimal, wir versuchen es für die nächste Woche besser machen 😅 wir haben ihr Gestern wieder etwas Wasser gegeben.
