Views expressed are my own. All opinions are my own. The opinions expressed here belong solely to me and do not reflect the views of Growdiaries or Grandcru Genetics. The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. Grand Cru Genetics is a cannabis seed bank that emerged in 2018 from a group of breeders in Madrid to provide a satisfactory experience to all cannabis users. "If we do things, we do them well. Due to our experience in the sector and our taste for excellence, we know high quality and we seek it in everything we propose and do." "We have a “cultivate without giving up” philosophy that we apply to everything we do. We do not give up, we are friends of change, and we adapt as necessary in a still restricted sector." "We speak relaxed because we know how to relax. We are not intense or preachy; we accept everyone as they are, and we understand that farming is not for everyone. But for those who do, we are here to accompany you. We like to do it and tell it. We are experts in the field because we are the first to do it. We speak from experience and connect with others because we share the passion for cultivation." "Cannabis has the ability to show us a world of possibilities. When you cultivate and live its growth process, you enjoy a path full of emotions and not just the final destination. At Grand Cru we find beauty in small things. We are attentive, observant, detail-oriented and aware of everyday things, and we savor them without rushing." In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. I think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, the RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level I set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches the desired RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always release more water into the air; therefore, the RH% of the tent overnight will increase, as long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential, which will work wonders with mass flow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

D50. The start of the fourth week of flower, and she is just doing her thing without much attention from me. She drank close to one-quarter of the reservoir in one day, so I expect to fill it again later this week. ------------------------------ D52. I've started removing some LST wires and removed a couple of leaves to increase air circulation. That's about it. ------------------------------ D54. I’m at Spannabis in Barcelona, so there is no plant news today. Completely mad here, though. There are loads of seed banks, many other vendors, and tons of people. Officially there’s no smoking allowed, but… there’s smoking EVERYWHERE, lol Heading back to the madness tomorrow. ------------------------------ D56. I literally came back home from Spannabis only a few minutes ago. The plant looks good and there's nothing to report. ------------------------------

The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

Welcome to my Ganja Farmer contest grow. Drop a like if you want me to drop by your grows. Either way thanks for dropping by She's doing really well. Would like for her to have bigger buds. Should of started flowering her under my P1000. She has a lovely structure and some nice colors showing up on the buds which seem to be getting nice and dense 20/6/22 she's doing really well. Growing nice and strong. This time I think I'm going to have to do bud washing as the hair is just beyond a joke now. I'm going to do a deep tent clean this week. Just waiting on some stuff and I'm going to get my tents in order. Plant is at to getting struck down with what I'm nearly sure is iron defs. Found 1 to 2 leafs starting out yellow with green vains. Let the soil dry out after a few watering and gave them a boost of Iron (fe). (Have put up a video and focused partly on showing a light iron def. This leaf showed up like this 4 days ago. Took me a day to dry out the soil so it was a little harder to notice) but if I hadn't of fixed you'd of seen what looked like a N def (a yellow leaf with green vains) hope this video helps to help u. Feel free to DM me if you need me to go into any fixes 24/6 Have installed my new AC intake unit, it's more of an AC unit the way I have it set up. I have it outside the tent. And have a negative pressure environment. So, if I can drop my outside temp then in turn the inside temp will drop. There's no point in having it set up inside with the lights off as the RH will go sky high with no exhaust set up as that would defeat the purpose of having AC in an unsealed tent setup. Be good though when I want to grow with co2 this beast will have no issues keeping the temp in check. It's doing my whole top floor. Yeah, it's struggling. Have it set at 20% but it won't drop to 20% until you reach the temp you have it set at. It was 31.5 brought it down to 27.5 in 15mins and that's a top floor in a 3 bed big bedroom house. Id say it would work quicker with the door closed but my RH will only go high and I'd have to run my Dehumidifier and that well, raise the temp. Going to see what happens by dropping the temp to 24c when the air around the pre attached probe goes down to 24 it will go to the % you have it set at. But until then, (you reach the temp) it runs at full steam. It has brought the temperature down 2.8-3c in 15mins. Update. My AC unit intake is nothing but a big ass temp controlled intake, not control temperature. It does help draw up cold air from an extended 10m ducting so I can get 18c air if I want. Just gotta run big ass ducting threw my house. Just until I can punch a hole up into my attic. It runs 16c up there. But I'll need a filter 1st and then I can drop temps rapidly. Looked into an AC unit. They are affordable. A 7000 Btu unit would do my grow room. Runs at 800watts an hour but you have to hook it up to a window. My air outside at night is that temp so I'd be better just running poxy ducting from my attic using this powerful 110watt intake. It'll be great for air flow with co2 growing. I'll hook it up from the bottom to the top and run the ducting either side and let the unit sit on top of the tent. It's so powerful won't need any fans. Just co2 and high ppfd which I have now. Thanks for reading this week. gottagrowsometime

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . Day 64: Die Nacht war kalt und die Ventilatoren an . Ergebnis , der Hauptrieb der viel ventilation abbekommt ist wunderschön dunkel geworden. Bilder hinzugefühgt um mal den Vergleich zu haben , beide haben die gleiche Bedingung , sowohl Dünger als auch Licht . Nur das Zoe mehr Wind abbekommt und damit halt eine kältere Nacht erhalten hat . Wir sehen das es wohl keine wirklichen defiziete. Es ist ein verhalten auf die Kälte. Day 65: + 1.75 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Canna Rhizotonic + + + Canna PH+ + + PH 5.91 Day 66: Das viele Licht zeigt wie es aus allen Seiten der Buds wächst . Das ist nicht gerade ein Qualitätsmerkmal , eher ein Quantitätsmerkmal . Aber ich möchte auch wissen wie stark sich das auf die Qualität auswirkt . Die Schwester hinkt zwar kräftig hinterher wegen ihrem Wasserschaden, aber zum Rauchen allemal gut . Leichte Cal-Mag Probleme werden sichtbar . Day 67: + 2 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Spülung + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Plagron PH- + + PH 6.0 Day 68: keine besonderen Anzeichen , die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist so zwischen 60% bis 64% . Geht gerade nicht anders . Ist jetzt aber zum abreifen auch nicht Schlimm . Dafür sind die Temperaturen bei konstanten 26°C Day 69: Alles läuft nach Plan. Kein defizit, ergo , es wird nur rest Dünger in der Erde abgebaut. Day 70: + 2 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte Generative Phase III + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Canna Rhizotonic + + + Canna PH+ + + PH 5.91

growing pretty well. think I started to get a nutrient lock so watered with straight water last 2x and prob 1 more. gonna switch to flower on new years and start flower nutrients. the one in the back smells amazing , considerably better than any of the others so far. both of these plants have purple stems so expectations are some purple later on as its in the name. I actually switched these into flower on day 1 of this week and put in a different tent. will bring back when I switch the other plants to flower.
