This week went pretty good, the flowers are getting super sticky and smell amazing, but they're packing on quite as much weight as I hoped. I had a friend over who told me it looked like I was growing a tree in a solo cup, so I think I might run these same genetics back next and pot her up from a solo cup to a 3 gallon pot, get the manifold built, then pot up to a 12.5 gallon air pot. I am going to take the wife on a couple vacations or "holidays" as most of you would say. But yeah I plan to run the same genetics, same training, same lights, everything and see what kind of difference a larger pot alone can make. Anyways not much left for me to do until harvest, I am watching the trichomes closely, I will probably start the flush within a week or so. Thanks for stopping by, be safe and blaze on.

Everything was good they recovered well from training. Cranked the power up to 60 percent and raised the light.

Thank you. Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, I'm keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function.

Bruce Banner #3 fast is growing fast. She just got topped, and roots pruned. It took a bit to grow into the nutrition. I made it a little strong my bad. She is all good now, and making progress under the Hortibloom Solux 350. Nothing else to report. Thank you Hortibloom, and The Orginal Sensibile Seeds company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

End of week 4 marking around the half way point as both strains both have 8-9 week flower periods. Runtz Muffin #1 already looks like it's going to have more of a longer airy bud structure compared to the others

Día 29 (18/11) Subo a DLI 45 CBD Auto 20:1 #1 sigue sin mostrar las preflores... ¿será una auto tardía o será una fotoperiódica?

Hey Leute ich hab bei den Pflanzen Ungeziefer bemerkt kann nur aus der plagron Erde vom Grow Shop sein Trauermücken thripse bei zwei Pflanzen außert sich das Schon negativ die Pflanze sieht kränklich aus gelb Stich von oben nach unten überdüngung ausgeschlossen, hab die Pflanzen mit combo neem behandelt 4 Tage gewartet und wieder behandelt das Pflanzbild der Zustand kann auch davon kommen !!! sobald die Pflanzen sich erholt haben schick ich die endlich in die Blüte

Buenas a tod@s... Octava semana de flora de las Green poison de sweet seed... Más allá de las marcas de "excesos" en las hojitas, q no se x q x q no me paso y a pesar de que podría estar más grande ( fallo mío) la planta está DPM..🔥⚡🤯😱 está y se la ve compactada y tanto está como las demás, se las nota que pesan, que prometen y que yo no subestimaria x su altura, están muy bien y ya en la etapa casi final... Ya no les queda mucho, en verdad el calendario marca que ya está en etapa final, pero les falta aún más días, disfruten del paisaje que en breve se nos va 🙏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻😎⚕️ 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Un altra settimana è passata senza problemi...grazie alla mia perseveranza nel curarla e debellare i ragnetti Rossi che bastardelli mi sono arrivati anche dentro al box... sicuramente c'è li ho portati io involontariamente quando sono andato a vedere delle piante di un amico che erano impregnate di ragnetti e ragnatele sui fiori....vabbè ora devo sbattermi un po' più ma non lascerò che mi rovinino la mia terapia 💪👍🙏🕉️🙏... Boom Shiva Shankar 🕉️ belle le mie coccinelle 🐞 che mi tengono pulita la mia terapia
