2 days late this week, my apologies! Pretty much a repeat of the previous week with some nice vegetation coming in. All are looking healthy and growing excessively tall, I think I’ve found the sweet spot on intake at the moment so feeding will remain the same. The MOH clone just went into a Pot and I plan on topping the other 4 potentially next week. Stay tuned!

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

The seedling looks very healthy, not a single deformity or yellow tips, so I guess the concentration of fertilizer should be kept at this level. Fertilizer: Green House Feeding Hybrids. Dose: 1/4 of recommended, i.e. (2.5g / 4) = 1ml of base + 9ml of distilled water. Height: 9.5cm. Problem: the stem is stretched because of 2 mistakes: 1) fist week the distance to the lamp was 40 cm instead of 30cm (fixed); 2) the helmet head got stuck for many days in darkness and the seed tried to get closer to the light (fixed). Hopefully the 80mm fan will strengthen the stem.

Decent week. More LST and some defoliation. Good advice from community attempting to bring the main stem down further using LST to lower the light and get more into the lower buds. Don't think she'll put on any huge amounts more growth but I love her all the same. Had some issues with smell which made me a little nervous as my tent is outside under cover close'ish to the neighbour. Bought a plug in ambi per perfume dispenser. Actually works well to mask the smell.

Transplant tomorrow and new home then after. Flowering will begin in a week or so. She’s responded well to all training and is ready to open up into a nice wide canopy. She’ll be tied down to her new pot a little to encourage a bit more spread and open her up a bit so light can get in.

Day 21 and I tied down a few branches to spread them out a little. This platonium has a lot bigger node spacing than the other plants. They seem happy with the nutrients so I didnt mess with the reservoir this week. Will probably give them a little calmag before the end of next week. Just going to try to keep up with some training to get as many tops as possible. Debating on building some type of scrog this run but still undecided.

Welcome guys Last few things to say about this nice strain, the SOMANGO 🌱 Originally was breded by Soma sacred seeds, but this is the @supersiberia version And it's a good choise 💯 Anyway, back to the harwest time 👇 The whole plant is placed in a cupboard upside down, after the cut, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly...I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag..for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed ⏳ Then I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers 🔥 About taste and effects 👇 The flavours in smoking are exactly the same you can smell before burning the buds, tropical woody with sweets notes back The effect is more about staying chill an watching or listening something. In the beginning more mind stone, then it goes trought the body and makes you relax. Is not my first choise but in the end is enjoyable ! The plant in growing is also great to see, especially if you do some technique 👌 I have growed her in a 3,5l airpot (not the original) with organic liquids nutrients, added in to a soil/cocco/humus and perlite base But if you want to learn more about, check out all my previous weeks 📆 📆 And that's all.. I want to thanks @supersiberia for the seeds 👍👍👍 And to @growdiaries for make this possible 🙏 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹
