In addition to improving the chemical composition of plants, UV light also accelerates the germination process for seeds and helps prepare plants for higher light intensities. It acts as a natural stimulant for seeds, encouraging quicker sprouting and robust initial growth. Photosynthesis, as we all know, is the process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food. But here’s a little twist – UV light has been found to enhance this process. When plants are exposed to UV light, their chloroplasts (the tiny structures inside plant cells where photosynthesis occurs) work even more efficiently. This means they can produce more food for themselves! UV light triggers a response in plants by activating specific proteins and enzymes that optimize their photosynthetic processes. This translates into increased growth rates, improved nutrient absorption, and enhanced overall health. It’s like giving the plants a little extra boost to reach their full potential. For instance, when certain flowers are exposed to controlled amounts of UV light, they produce deeper and richer colors. Think of it as a form of “sun-kissed” enhancement! This deepening of color isn’t just about aesthetics; it also indicates improved biochemical processes within the plants.When plants are exposed to UVB light, it is now known something incredible happens—they begin producing vitamin D3 at an accelerated rate. UVB light exposure can lead to an increase in the production of vitamin D3 in plants. The optimal wavelength range for stimulating vitamin D3 synthesis in plants is around 290nm-310nm. Vitamin D3 is produced by UVB exposure of 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) in the skin. The conversion to the pre-vitamin D happens by exposure to sunlight at 290–315 nm (UVB). Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin upon UVB exposure 290-315nm. The UVB exposure of provitamin D3 (7-dehydrocholesterol) in the skin breaks the B-ring to form previtamin D3, which undergoes thermally induced rearrangement to vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is transported to the liver where it is hydroxylated at C-25 by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase producing 25OHD3, which is the major circulating form in vertebrates. The 25OHD3 is hydroxylated a second time at C-1 in the kidneys to the active metabolite. Magnesium is used in large quantities for the enzymatic process, which enables the plant to process vitamin D3. Increase magnesium accordingly.

Happy new year everyone! 👽 This week, I brought out the scrog, again, could not help myself! Watering stays the same 6L at 6PH, however, i faded out roots completely, and starting to switch over to bloom ferts, at the moment it is 1ml/L Bloom and 4ml/L grow. her canopy is looking great and the slight calmag deficiency is all but gone now after additional topdressing for longterm and a juice of calmag a couple of weeks back. Apart from that, i cut off some more of smaller stems below her canopy, so i will add HST this week again, im really, really pushing it this time with her. Smell is also developing a good bit! though not too strong now, nice grow-smell still. Let's see what the next week with the scrog brings! 😏

Trotz des schlechten Wetters sind die kleinen Buds etwas größer geworden. Die Pflanzen im Ganzen sind aber nicht gewachsen. Sie bekommen gerade etwas Neemlösung, da die einige der großen Blätter stark angepiekst sind. Die nächste Zeit wird das Wetter ja wieder prima, das gibt hoffentlich nen guten Schub

Good week my diesel glue is really starting to branch up after topping at the end of last week I have continued 4days ago and today moderate defoliation I need the Poppin Cherrys pheno to get growing lol, I had a cultivator mystery stain, not last grow the one before that had a decidely slow start but bloomed into an exceptional phenotype, hopefully more similarities than Early leaf structure

On day 1 things are going well. The buds are getting larger by the day and I'm starting to smell the terps. This is an interesting one, I can't figure it out just yet but there seems to be grapefruit in the background at least. I also did my last defoliation to bring in more light to the canopy. On day 3 the girls are doing well. My PH pen broke so I'm back to indicator drops until amazon hooks me up with a new probe. On day 4 the plants are doing well. I applied my final BTI treatment. The fungus gnat population is way down and almost completely eradicated. The girls are putting on more trichs everyday and the smell is increasing :) On day 5 I see no more fungus gnats :) I should receive my PH pen tomorrow and will finally be able to adjust my reservoirs pH with more precision. On day 6 the plants are doing well. On day 7 my new PH pen was ready for use. I discovered my reservoir got down to 5.5 PH yikes! I used PH up to get the PH to 6.1. I then changed out my reservoir with new nutrients. I PH'ed to 6.1

I transplanted them on Friday 17 and topped them on day 21. I am planning to build mainlines out of all 5. So far they're looking pretty good. Thanks for stopping by and have a safe holiday.

Las 2 más pequeñas, se adelantan y empiezan a madurar antes que las demás, ya tienen algún pelillo marrón, y sueltan una cantidad de resina increíble. Las más grandes y con cogollos más gordos, empiezan a doblarse, así que voy atando las que no aguantan el peso

This week the flowers really started to bulk up. I was worried about having very loose buds as the development starts off very slow but eventually they really bulk up nicely!! The topped plant is about 2 weeks behind in flower but has way more main collas! Check the last video for both plants

Start of week 5 in flower. Thursday and I can see the buds getting bigger. Every morning I empty the reservoir of about 1 liter of solution and add 6 liters of fresh pH adjusted nutrients. I am hoping the video I take tomorrow on Sunday day 1 of week 6 will show changes. So far I am pleased. Tomorrow the beginning of week 6 I will be dropping the Diamond nectar and reducing the armour SI and increasing the Koolbloom liquid.

Me siento muy contento con estás auto... Fast buds sorprendiendo con unos cogollos hermosos y un olor increíble... No hice el mejor trabajo pero estoy feliz de haber hecho esto... estoy enamorado con las ruderalis! Auto de Fast buds un súper 10!
