D92/FD64 - Nothing new to report here...pistils darkening some and retracting so getting there. Not really that frosty I must say but then again, no UVB on them to give them that boost! Still feared for the 2 big girl colas, they were nearest the Botrytis outbreak on the Red Hot Cookies - bought a Hotbox Sulfume (and about 50 other potential organic pesticide options from Potassium Bicarb to Trichoderma/Bacillus mixes!!! :P ) for the next run but thinking of an emergeny couple of 2 hour blasts to ensure any spores in there killed as if I dont, I may have nothing at all at the end of this! It's either live with a *possible* taste (A lot of people seem to say short blasts, a couple of days apart, leaves no [discernable] taste, even v. late in flower - plus most finishers/flushers are high in Sulfur as the plant uses it for terps/oils and the likes) or no taste as everything is for the firepit!!! Apart from that, just monitoring for any weird changes to sugar leaves that may imply signs of trouble. Happy growing all!!! 💪

Last update for today but by no means least... Karen is now on day 107! She is still not ready but she is now foxtailing, presumably because of all the stress. I've been moving house so the plants and diaries have been badly neglected for 3 weeks. Two 9 day droughts, damage during move. Etc. For the last 3 weeks I have taken one cola off Karen each week to dry and smoke test. She is already stunning in flavor and potency. I am very excited for her eventual harvest.

Bomb plant bro, you should grow this, its better than the Tropicana cookies

I believe I could get thicker and taller buds, if I'd have done a better manifold. However she still produced very potent & stickie buds with a sharp aroma. Definitely a strain for all level growers 🤠

A few of the autos have mostly milky trichomes but no amber yet. Maybe another two weeks.

Week 5 (3/21/22 - 3/27/22) Set up scrog net with 2x2 inch grid

Just hit day 10 of flower the left net has about 20% touching the 2nd trellis. And about 70% almost touching. The right net in the tent has 40% touching and the rest is close to the 2nd trellis. Gorilla Zkittles is growing strong. They occupy the middle back 4 pots of the net.

Week 2 veg nothing special just going to bump the ppm up to 500 day 10: the first true weed leaves are here and the plant is now about to take of

So it seems like the destilled water did the trick. The leaves have stopped yellowing rapidly. This is now the 12th week of flowering and alos its last week of nutes. The whole 13th week will be used for flushing. (with tap water with a ph val of around 8) Plant is very very close to the 6500k lamp to ensure enough light. I am using a portable fan to blow away the warm air from the leaves. I am feeding the plant around 50% the recommended dosage of nutes and yet some leaf tips are turning brown and curling up. Nutrient burn? Nutrient defficiency due to high ph? If anyone can pinpoint what my actual problem is please feel free to do so! Sprayed some buds and leaves with h202 to remove WPM,

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. The mind is constantly working and producing, just like a factory. It's not just a passive recipient of information but an active producer of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. The "ingredients" in this factory are the information you consume, such as books, conversations, and the media you engage with. The "products" are your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The quality of the ingredients directly influences the quality of the output. 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, 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. I am playing in the enchanted forest. A shift in perspective is what changes perception over time. By deliberately considering a situation from another point of view (perspective), you can challenge your initial, knee-jerk interpretation (perception). This is a valuable skill in both personal and professional life for fostering empathy, improving problem-solving, and making more informed decisions. Move the mind off perception into perspective. Thank you.

Last week of veg now , let’s see what she can do . I was munching on a fresh leaf and it tasted exactly like orange candy so keen to smoke that taste

11/12 start of week 3 of flower hoping she is done stretching cus I'm out of room when it comes to height. Gave all the goodies plus added Fulpower and molasses 11/15 stretching seems to have stopped. Dropped humidity and raised vpd to stay around 1.5 and raised light intensity so it's 1000 ppfd at top of plant super cropped the main top to match the height of the side branches. 11/16 watered her with some wdg3000 and saps.

WEEK4/1F Die Guava befindet sich parallel zur Blütenbildung auch ordentlich im Stretch. In der Höhe hat die Guava gut um das doppelte zugelegt. Zur Stabilisierung und dem Schutz vor zu viel Wind hat die Guava eine kleine Stütze an ihre Seite bekommen. Mit der direkten Sonne ohne den Schutz vom Mini-Gewächshaus hat sich die Guava super arrangiert. Zum Ende der Woche war das Wetter recht durchwachsen und es gab leider etwas weniger Sonne und leider auch etwas Regen. Dafür soll es aber Dienstag/Mittwoch kommender Woche ordentlich Sonne geben💪🏼 Gegossen wird immer nur nach Bedarf. Bei dem Regen Ende der der woche brauchte natürlich nicht viel gegossen werden.

16/06/2022 - Day 28 - First day of the 5th week. Time to flower. Defoliated bottom parts and tried to give space to lower branches. Can't wait to see those colors! Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️ - DD

Hello GD !!!! This week things went complicated... Both cheese started preflowering and flowering right now, imma put you in the whole context of this .. Im really confused at the moment Both plants showed preflowers, over developed pre flowers ? .... Then hairs appearing, and i started to worry about this.. Temperature was good at 10/5 so put the plants outside, topped the girl and removed a few lower branches Couple of cloudy days and .......more hairs... maybe more like a first stage flower Talked about this with a more experienced grower, he told me that the plants should re vegetate when noticing longer days.. I have been researching and many people coincide with the revegetation, but.... maybe some grower or skilled revegger can help me out ? I mean im feeding the plant with BioGrow ph 6.5, yesterday with Green Explosion and BioGrow to seeif this helps the plant .... My plan was to make a monster plant this year, but things are not going as expected. Got a Jack Herer waiting if i need to germinate a new plant now but would be a mess of Cheese Thank you for your time guys !!!!! EDITED 22/05 : The other cheese which have a slowly develop in comparision, has developed flowers too but are smaller, and seems she is showing ReVegetation Signs !!!! with more leaves in the popcorn buds and new growth, so we are waiting a few days to take a decission. Thank you so much for the advice mates ! EDITED 24/05: The buds are getting frosty .... wtf, temperatures are low, this is a really weird year... Winter come later than usual, and still here..
