W7 - GRETA 🌱is growing well. I again defoliate some leaves from top brunches (compare with week 6) just to make the top canopy slightly less dense. That will allow more sunlight receive by lower brunches a specially when they in the flowering period. Still using garden wire to hold down two top branches. She looks like bonsai cannabis 🎉 😘 I am happily watching her grow 🙂

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.

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

It’s the first week of growth, and my cannabis plant is off to a great start! I used the method of placing the seedlings in coco tabs right after they sprouted, and it seems like it really worked well. The plant took to the coco quickly and is looking healthy and strong. I moved it to a small propagation station for the first few days, which definitely helped it establish itself. Now that it’s in the tent, it’s still progressing nicely. The leaves are starting to form, and everything looks on track for a healthy grow. I’m excited to see how the plant continues to develop in the coming weeks. So far, everything looks promising!👨🏽‍🌾🌱

La semaine 6 avec la Banana Purple Punch est une vraie fête! Elle semble adorer l'engraissement, bien mieux que la LSD 25 qui n'a pas apprécié l'excès d'azote. La Banana Purple Punch, elle, semble s'en régaler et montre un appétit gourmand. Croisons les doigts pour voir les têtes grossir dans les jours à venir, tout s'est déroulé comme sur des roulettes jusqu'à présent. J'ai boosté les nutriments au maximum avec des algues et le booster de floraison, restant prudent en dosant à la moitié pour les nutriments NPK, avec une exclusion d'azote et une réduction à la moitié pour le phosphore, suivant de près les recommandations du fabricant. Un énorme merci à Louloutre pour sa patience et ses analyses perspicaces qui ont rendu cette aventure encore plus agréable! 🌿🌟

Que pasa fumetillas? ya estoy de vuelta, más fuerte que nunca este parón fue para mejor. Así que vamos a empezar abriendo el diario de nuestra critical, ya la cultivé pero no fue específicamente solo de critical, si no en general de 3 variedades , así que esta vez toca dedicarle un diario a esta generosa indica. La germinación no a supuesto un problema, de echo en 36h estaban las 6 semillas abiertas. En la germinación use PIRAMID de agrobeta para empezar con buen pie. Pasadas las 36h las plante en tierra biobizz light mix en macetas 0,4 L y encendí el ts600 de mars hydro. Las fotos son tomadas el día 5 desde la germinación, haré fotos pero solo un día de la semana , para que vayáis viendo más diferencia entre semanas . . Como siempre, el ph lo mantengo en 5.8, la humedad ronda 70/80% . Y la temperatura oscila 22/24 grados. . Ahora en la alimentación, gama agrobeta. 0,5 ml x L Piramid , vía radicular. 0,5 ml x L Growth black line , vía radicular. 0,1 gr x L Cancerbero , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0.1 ml x L Flash Root , vía radicular. 0,4 ml x L Great Green , vía foliar. . Esto es todo, cualquier duda que tengáis comentarme , y que paseis muy buenos humos .

Hola a todos, día 46 de floración, estamos entrando en la última etapa de la floración (deben quedar 3 o 4 semanas más de floración), han comenzado a mostrarse quemaduras de luz en varias zonas de las planta por lo que bajé la potencia de la luz un 15% y agregué silicio a la mezcla de nutrientes, me pregunto si necesitare aumentar el calcio, los cogollos han comenzado a ganar peso, pronto debería agregar tutores para evitar que las ramas caigan, para la próxima semana comenzaré a bajar la salinidad de a poco. Saludos!

OG Kush, the name alone brings up images of something totally chill. But this little guy isn't just about having a cool name, he's got serious growing potential. From the moment that first shoot broke through the soil, I knew this seedling was something special. The leaves are a perfect shade of dark green, and they've got that signature OG thickness. I'm excited to see how this one develops – it's gonna be a fun journey watching OG grow into a big, beautiful plant!

Week 2 (Jan 11 - Jan 17) Giving 2 more seeds a try. This time using the new water-only organic soil found at the hydroponics place where we got the advice to go organic and helped pick out the right materials that didn't break the bank. Fingers crossed, but feeling hopeful.

I'm quite impressed by this week's development. The girls are starting to show their fatness. I did a flush at the beginning of the week and it helped a lot. Now I'm starting to give them less and less nuts, as they show obvious tip burns. They are getting so so packed with crystals!

- 17-05-21 (Day 1) // // - 18-05-21 (Day 2) three of the girls got out of the soil correctly!😊 while the Runtz sprout is the only one that still remains in its seed despite she already opened it for 2/3 day now..🤔 its root seems to struggle to grow or pierce the soil .. I'm helping her by keeping the humidity higher since I put this bag, we'll see what happens 🤷‍♂️🏻 ..Any advice will be welcome 🙏🏻 as always have a nice day and happy growing to everyone! 😊☮️💚 19-05-21 (Day 3) ..Unfortunately the Runtz Muffin is dead, was unable to come to life like her little sisters. After three days, i tried to help her removing her seed husk.. but there was nothing to do 😢 So here is a new start!! 😊 I put this Lemon Tree “Freebie” seed to germinate aaand to replace the poor Runtz Muffin. 😕🙌🏻 We'll see how it goes this time.. 🤞🏻🍀 Sending positive vibes for you and your garden ☮️💚 20-05-21 (Day 4) All the girls are doing great and continuing their grow. The Lemon Tree is doing great too with its germination, that in just six hours the seed has opened! Now I’ll wait that the sprout grow a tiny root of (1,5/2cm) at least, to pass it into the soil. Happy grow fam. Stay smoky 😙💨 21-05-21 (Day 5) With today the girls are in their fifth day of growth. 🙌🏻 Bio-heaven (amino-acids) added to the recipe (1ml/1L) As you know after the death of Runtz Muffin, I have been germinating the Lemon Tree for two days now, today is the third day for her after an excellent germination, I have transferred it from the paper towel to the soil to make it grow. Let’s see how she will grow, Despite being a week behind, I hope she grows strong, healthy and fast🤞🏻 Have a good weekend, lift up and relax. Peace ☮️ 💚 22-05-21 (Day 6) The Lemon tree is officially out of the soil, ready to grow! 🙌🏻💚 The other girls are fine, they are on their sixth day of life and they love the environment where they are growing up. ..Plus they are always listening to music (Lo-Fi) 24/7 ☺️ I hope they like it.. 🤷‍♂️🏻😆 That's all for today. Have a good weekend gromies!! 🧑🏻‍🌾👩‍🌾🏻☮️💚 23-05-21 (Day 7) Today last day of the first week for the girls and first day of life for the Lemon Tree! The nourishment for them is always the same, except for the Lemon Tree which for the moment I am just spraying water to irrigate it. ..In this round I expect great things! Happy growing to everyone! ☮️💚

🌱 OG Lemonade - Week 5 of Flowering Update 🌱 This week, I focused on gradually lowering both temperature and humidity to optimize the late flowering stage. Additionally, I switched the light cycle to 11/13 to reduce DLI and encourage faster ripening. The main cola is really starting to stand out, looking thick and promising—definitely shaping up to be an impressive top bud. The aroma is insane! A powerful mix of gas and citrus, creating an incredibly fresh and intense terpene profile. This strain is living up to its name, and I can't wait to see how it develops in the coming weeks! 🌞 Light schedule: 11/13 🌱 PPFD: 800 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.4 kPa Now, it's all about maintaining perfect conditions and letting this beauty pack on weight and resin in the final stretch!

Ich habe leichten schimmel am headbud entdeckt.Ich bin richtig wütend auf mich,da ich sie nicht gleich beim ersten Mal Schimmel geerntet habe.Nun ist der headbud stark geschrumpft und ich muss viele schöne Blüten in die Biotonne hauen.Die buds sind so kompakt,dass ich nichteinmal sehen kann ob in ihnen Schimmel ist. Bis auf meine Inkompetenz war der Grow sehr entspannt und ich werde diese Sorte definitiv nächsten Frühling nocheinmal anbauen.
