# 1 plant ( big one) watering with grow big as soil is not as hot as fox farm, # 2 ( runt) in fox farm soil only getting pHd water along with humic and kelp. Middle week update # 2 making a cone back aslo topped her was curious to see what will happen # 1 just growing fast

This was a beautiful week. The girls started to flower, they feel really nice. There were no significant changes, everything goes as expected. A ladybug visited my garden, I decided to keep her as protection from mites. I never had problems with them, but we can never know. :)

LST DONE TODAY NEARLY ALL OF THEM 2 JUST SEEM POINTLESS TO PULL AROUND BUT

Woche 9 – die Trichome tanzen ✨, die Terpene explodieren 🍇🍋, und die Buds sind auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Schönheit. Doch dann, wie aus dem Nichts: Spinnmilben 🕷️. Ein unerwarteter Besuch, der uns daran erinnert, dass selbst im scheinbaren Paradies Herausforderungen lauern. Wir haben schnell reagiert ⚡, natürliche Methoden angewendet 🌱 und die Ladies mit Liebe und Sorgfalt behandelt ✋❤️. Diese Erfahrung hat uns gelehrt, noch achtsamer zu sein und die Zeichen der Pflanzen frühzeitig zu erkennen. Week 9 – trichomes shimmering ✨, terpenes bursting 🍇🍋, buds at their peak. Then, out of nowhere: spider mites 🕷️. An unexpected guest, reminding us that even in paradise, challenges can arise. We acted swiftly ⚡, used natural remedies 🌱, and cared for the ladies with love and intention ✋❤️. This moment taught us to be more present and read the signals more clearly.

Another boring week in flower. One of the indigo childs is fading to yellow. Checked the trichomes and I'm starting to see some ambers. Will probably wait till 7.5 week. The rest of the indigos will probably go 8-8.5 weeks. The medipak needs a lot more time. Not a resinous as I would have liked to see at this point. But I have a feeling that it might be my fault with not providing them proper environment for a sativa. I also suspect there might have been a fungal issue from the medipak tent as one suddenly died. Classic fusarium. We shall see with the others.

Le 98e jour se passe bien. La plante rentre dans sa phase finale et termine sa maturation. Les pistils commencent à devenir ambrés. C'est la première fois que j'ai une plante qui dépasse plus de 100 jours en espérant avoir le succès escompté 🌱🙏 La récolte se passe dans une semaine, laissant la place à d'autres petits et de nouvelles aventures dans un nouveau substrat.

Once again these girls don’t really need much just watering when dry but other than that we are on cruise mode. I have been checking trichomes for about a week now and man is she almost there I should be giving them lights out with in another week or two can’t wait

Jelly cak3 I can’t wait. She smells dank and look great. I can’t wait. Jelly cak3 smells more like fruity cak3. I smell grape I smell berries I smell cherries I can’t wait jelly cak3

My god this girl is getting big for an outdoor stealth grow. I've snapped her once in half and she has doubled up since that. I think another break is gonna have to happen and I will have to pull her long instead of tall. She still gets nothing special. Cats seem to be keeping snails off her.. I know that sounds mad but I swear they sit at night next to her and I've not had any more snails on her since...🤔🤔🤔 Still not giving anything special. The run off from the flower room gets poured on the beds apart from that just rain which is in no short supply. That's all this week from the scarey outdoors. Until next week stay safe 😷😷 Grow well 🌱🌿🌱🌼

Plant look healthy and happy. Developed new leaves and have a nice and smooth green colour. Seems to enjoy light much. I added TopMax and BioBloom to the menu. We will see how it will respond.

Week 4 update 🌱✨ — the tent is filling out fast! The main plant is spreading beautifully under the trellis after topping + LST. Side branches are shooting up and filling the grid nicely 👀🔥. Second plant is still smaller but showing strong recovery — fresh green growth and stronger branching since the 5-gal transplant 💪. Feeding Corex + Eldex + Terra + CalMag + Mira (~1,400 ppm @ pH 6.0) always to 10–20% runoff. Both are drinking heavy now and responding well. Temps holding around 27 °C with RH 60–70% 🌬️ — leaves are praying all day. Trellis training continues this week as I prep them for a strong stretch before flip. Flowering is getting closer 🚀🌿.”

🇩🇪 Cherry Limeade von Doja – Wochenkommentar Die Cherry Limeade von Doja steht weiterhin richtig gut da 🌱. Das Blätterdach bedeckt die 60 × 60 cm mittlerweile ziemlich ordentlich, auch wenn hier und da noch ein paar kleinere Lücken zu sehen sind 🌿. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Struktur aber sehr zufrieden. An Tag 20 habe ich dann den etwas schmerzhaften Teil erledigt ✂️. Ich habe die Pflanze gelollipoppt und alle Blätter und Blüten entfernt, die im Schatten lagen. Das entfernte Pflanzenmaterial habe ich direkt wieder als Mulch ins Beet gegeben ♻️. Ehrlich gesagt tut mir jede größere Entlaubung ein bisschen im Herzen weh, weil die Pflanze danach gefühlt nur noch halb so groß aussieht 😅. Aber diesmal gilt ganz klar Qualität vor Quantität 🎯. Ich möchte möglichst ausschließlich große Top Buds produzieren, die während der gesamten Blüte ausreichend Licht bekommen ☀️. Eine interessante Erkenntnis hatte ich diese Woche auch beim Tensiometer 💧. Ich musste feststellen, dass das Manometer offenbar etwas hängt. Durch leichtes Klopfen bewegt sich die Nadel wieder und zeigt anschließend einen anderen Wert an. Rückblickend hatte ich wahrscheinlich gar keine zu niedrige Saugspannung / hohe Bodenfeuchtigkeit – die Pflanze hat sich schließlich optimal entwickelt 🌱. Das Problem lag vielmehr darin, dass das Tensiometer teilweise falsche Werte angezeigt hat. Zum Glück habe ich mich zusätzlich immer auf die Fingerprobe und vor allem auf die Entwicklung der Pflanze verlassen 👆🌿. Dadurch ist trotz der fehlerhaften Anzeige alles gut gegangen. Ich habe das Tensiometer nun herausgezogen und komplett neu mit Wasser befüllt 💦. Allerdings muss ich das Manometer weiterhin leicht anklopfen, damit sich die Nadel zuverlässig bewegt. Mein Ziel bleibt bei etwa 120 mbar Saugspannung während der Blüte. Heute gab es außerdem 3,5 Liter Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🌸. Der Tee wurde zuvor insgesamt 48 Stunden unter Belüftung gebraut und durfte anschließend ins Beet 🫧🌱. Jetzt heißt es erst einmal zurücklehnen und der Cherry Limeade beim Aufbau ihrer Buds zuschauen 😎. Nachdem sie sich in den nächsten Tagen von der Entlaubung erholt hat, werde ich die Lichtintensität schrittweise auf 1000 PPFD erhöhen ☀️. Jetzt beginnt für mich der wirklich spannende Teil der Blüte – weniger Training, mehr beobachten und hoffentlich viele schöne, dicke Top Buds 💚🌸. 📊 Parameter der letzten Woche: 💡 Licht: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Stufe 6, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 66 % 📈 VPD: 1,2 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 550 ppm 💦 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 120 mbar 🇬🇧 Cherry Limeade from Doja – Weekly Update The Cherry Limeade by Doja is looking really good 🌱. The canopy now covers most of the 60 × 60 cm tent quite nicely, although there are still a few small gaps here and there 🌿. Overall, I’m very happy with the structure. On day 20, I had to do the slightly painful part ✂️. I lollipopped the plant and removed all leaves and flowers that were sitting in the shade. Instead of throwing the plant material away, I added it straight back to the bed as mulch ♻️. I have to admit that heavy defoliation always hurts a little because the plant suddenly looks like it has lost half of its mass 😅. But this time I’m clearly going for quality over quantity 🎯. My goal is to produce mainly top buds that receive plenty of direct light throughout flowering ☀️. I also discovered something interesting with the tensiometer this week 💧. The pressure gauge seems to be sticking slightly. A gentle tap on the gauge makes the needle move again and reveals a different reading. Looking back, I probably didn’t have excessively high soil moisture at all – the plant has been developing perfectly 🌱. The problem was simply that the tensiometer was occasionally giving me inaccurate readings. Fortunately, I also relied on the finger test and, most importantly, on how the plant itself was developing 👆🌿. Because of that, everything worked out despite the faulty readings. I have now removed the tensiometer and refilled it completely with water 💦. However, I still need to gently tap the gauge to get the needle moving reliably. My target remains around 120 mbar soil suction tension throughout flowering. Today I also gave the plant 3.5 liters of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🌸. The tea had been actively aerated and brewed for a full 48 hours before being applied 🫧🌱. Now it’s time to sit back and watch the Cherry Limeade build those buds 😎. Once she has recovered from the defoliation over the next few days, I’ll gradually increase the light intensity to 1000 PPFD ☀️. The really exciting part of flowering starts now – less training, more observation, and hopefully lots of beautiful, chunky top buds 💚🌸. 📊 Parameters from last week: 💡 Light: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 (12/12, Level 6, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 66% 📈 VPD: 1.2 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 550 ppm 💦 Soil moisture: 120 mbar

This week was still about recovery from last week. Given the phase this plant is in, this week was a stand still... but I'm glad it did not move backwards. We did a heavy defoil in the middle of week, as some of the sites where blocking each other quite a bit. The air flow and color has returned the middle of these plants. I was getting worried about bud rot. All for all, these plants are doing well and smell like yummy weed! When we defoliated I went outside to take out the garbage and the whole neighborhood smelt like these ladies 😂😂😂 I hope that they keep growing and thickening up. They are putting weight on, I hope Week 12 is huge on that front. I am probably only giving them up until 13/14 before I give them the chop. I wont be flushing. I will be feeding up until the last res before harvest.

This strain is one of my favourite to grow I'm addicted to the flavour and how fast she grows.. The team at @fastbuds have been very generous towards me and I'm happy to be growing out there strains ... She is healthy and will be growing a lot by next week cheers

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.
