Looking okay, the highest leaves are burning quite a lot, but I’m not worried a lot as the buds are forming nicely. I’ll be feeding a little less from now on as she doesn’t seem to need a full dose every watering.

Apple Fritter is doing good. I have not done anything, but a solution change. Will likely switch light hours to flowering next week. She is in a New Level Hydro bucket, under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 50 percent. Thank you New Level Hydro, Spider Farmer, and Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds.

Plant did ok, not the best result and far below my expectations for it. I found that growing them in pots with other plant is a no go from now on for autos. they just don't grow all that well when their root space is being shared, all my autos from a few breeders did poorly when I grew them like this. however the ones I kept in their own pot did much better, the Ganja farmer brand is good, just wish they had some CBD/CBG strains in their catalogue. This will all be for friends and family. @GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D

Oct 3rd, - start of week 9 in flower; Panama Red, Honduras x Panama get a visit and a feeding tomorrow - (ford) Pink Kush (Bahia black head) get a visit and phood tonight as well. (Bahia Black Head is being Flushed this week, no food) - Alaskan Purple is simply putting on a Huge display after being so quiet all year long. Pictured bottom branch is over 9’ long… 4th - applied the Milk treatment as planned. White Powdery Mildew has been knocked out on this plant; Alaskan Purple. Its also completely stalled Mildew on two other grows. (2-part Milk / 3-part Water. 3.25% fat content is what the Gardener references used for hard vegetables: 7-10 days as req’d 5th - fed Panama Red and Honduras x Panama. (Black Tuna gets Chopped Sunday) 6th *** its a great story, and I’ll keep it short here. - LEGACYMARKETFARM gave me an opportunity earlier this year, and I want to give a shout out to them so people can see the High-Level that they are working-on. Andrew bought some seeds at auction that were created and bred by a Famous and Notorious grower; Charles Scott. aka the original Reeferman. Andrew provided me with a wonderful palette of seeds to work with, as I adopted many of his growing targets and patterns into my own efforts this year. One of the Seeds I could only shake my head at; “TOM FORD Pink Kush x Vanilla Frosting” wtf is this was probably really close to a direct quote. There was Nothing online beyond Pink Kush… and One of the seeds was Germinated. Here we are 6 month’s later, I’m planning a harvest, and looking up tentative flowering times, and Lo and behold, the exact Seed I am growing, is now on-sale from Reefermans former employer: Old School Breeders Association. The exact Strain… Kinda freaks me out that I’m at the head of the Line, but there was lots of useful info on the site, and she stays outside for another week or two now thats for sure… Please help me celebrate this great discovery of info, and give Old School Breeders a Look, they have some amazing Genetics at work there. I’ve reviewed their Black Willie, thats why there is a second one growing outside right now! Cheers people, super happy with tid-bits of info - And a huge Thanks to Sarah and Andrew from LegacyMarketFarm for truly being Larger than Life, and for all the time you two spend really helping other Growers through day to day stuff ! https://oldschoolba.com/tom-pink-kush-by-monster-breeders/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/legacymarketfarm Oct 7th - harvested Alaskan Purple, it was time and she is beautiful. Rain persisted and was forecast so it shot my final photo-shoot in the foot. And I chopped her down; 16 lbs 8 oz whoa that was a surprising number. Weighed her 3x, alls good 9th - end of week 9 in Flower

Mentha De Croco | Week 16 from Seed – Week 5 of Flower Welcome to the wild side of the garden, where structure meets soul and every leaf has a story to tell. We’re deep in flower now, and our Mentha De Croco mutants are showing us what it truly means to be one-of-a-kind. Each girl in this tent is a canvas — some broad and expressive, others tight and intricate, and all of them thriving under the rhythm of precision care and the flow of intention. Feeding This Week | Aptus Holland Clean Program (Mineral Line): This week, we bring power and push, dialing in both structure and development with a nutrient stack designed for the mid-flower leap. Here’s what’s going into the mix and why: Regulator 0.15 ml/L Sets the tone for the mix. It improves nutrient uptake, strengthens cell walls, and enhances resistance to stress. Always added first for best results. System Clean 0.25 ml/L Sterile and safe. Keeps the root zone clean and oxygen-rich, no room for pathogens, only healthy, vigorous growth. RO Water Conditioner 0.8 ml/L Balances and stabilizes RO water by buffering it and making minerals more bioavailable. All-in-One Liquid 2 ml/L The backbone of the feed. Full-spectrum minerals in perfect balance, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, P & K, all instantly plant-available. Breakout Powder Low-dose booster for bloom phase We reintroduce Breakout Powder this week to gently push the flower sites into their next stage of development, not overloading, just guiding with finesse. This formulation boosts phosphate and potassium uptake, critical for stacking flowers while keeping internodes tight. Reservoir Stats: pH: 6.23 EC: 1.58 Water Temp: 18.8°C Environment & Vibe: They’re under the Future of Grow LED lights, bathing in full-spectrum glory, all managed and finely balanced by the reliable Trolmaster system. It’s a controlled jungle in here — beauty meets data. Plant Notes: Each plant continues to grow as its own universe. The flower formations are odd, beautiful, twisting, and stacking in ways that only mutants can. This is where form meets fascination — a pure expression of what cannabis genetics can be when you let go of expectations and allow nature to do her freaky, flawless thing. Shoutouts & Infinite Gratitude: To @terpyz_genetics for blessing us with this bouquet of mutant magic To @aptus_holland, the clean science behind the healthiest roots and biggest smiles To @trolmaster , for mastering the environment with ease To @futureofgrow, the light at the center of this visual storm To the Grow Diaries platform, the community, the silent readers, the loud learners, the lovers, the haters, we’re all growing together 🙌 Let’s never forget: Beauty isn’t uniform. Strength isn’t standard. Magic isn’t always predictable. And that’s exactly why this journey is worth it. #MenthaDeCroco #Week5Flower #MutantGenetics #AptusHolland #TerpyzMutants #GrowDiaries #FutureOfGrow #Trolmaster #GrowWithIntention #GrowersLove #UniqueCannabis #FloralMutants Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

They’re day 22 in flower now (3weeks) and looking beautiful and I’m getting some smells to the touch now and can say I think fft2 is amnesia/haze or lemon amz 🤷‍♂️🏽 (Opinion) but will have to wait for my final report to really comment! I measured them today (20/01/20) and 6 is 25” 5 is 23” 4 is 20” 3 is a moohoosive 27” 2 is shorter because of my accident but stands at 22” and 1 is 14” I tried to keep the space I have from overcrowding and seems to have worked so can’t wait for the final results as I only have to wait 3 more weeks to begin flushing fft5 but I’m thinking I may let her go over a week and then get to flush 1,3,5 and 6 at the same time. (Which is logical right?! 🤷‍♂️🏽 But I’ll be checking under my magnifier to see when to harvest though! But I’m hoping on a great finale!

Day 36 she keeps stretching and looks very happy i'm also very happy because soil PH is finally good, now it's 6.5PH after watering with 5.2 PH'ed water(with nutes in it) for the last several waterings. Light is 30cm away from the canopy ~850 PPFD Cut some leaves from center of the canopy for better air circulation and light penetration. Day 38 : watered with 2.5 L of water with nutes and 5.6 PH water, runoff water PH is now perfect 6.5 Day 39: She's been stretching very well, can't wait to deflate already(maybe tomorrow) Day 40: deefoliation day finally has come! And i'm so happy how she turned out after all. I did some LST to even out canopy for better light penetration and air movement! Note: she uses much Calcium - Magnesium (cal-mag) soo you definitely need to add it in your water.

Start of week 6! Week 5 went well, the girls are all very sticky and smell incredible! The super lemon haze continues to need extra feeding, she's a hungry lady! Both blueberry plants are packing on a lot of weight as the branches are bending and twisting, I tried them up to give them extra support.

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. 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. To guard the door of your mind means to be selective about what you allow in. It involves actively choosing to consume positive and constructive information while filtering out negativity and harmful influences. If you don't guard your mind, others can "dump" whatever they want into it, leading to undesirable results in your life. You must take responsibility for the inputs to ensure you produce the outcomes you desire. 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. I am playing in the enchanted forest.

Las hojas amarillas aumentan no tengo claro que es. Despues de leer y observar veo que tiene que ver con las luces, el día 21 subo la potencia al máximo y el 22 bajo la potencia de 440w a 350w.

By now, everyone knows I use the whole lineup of FRONT ROW AG Nutrients. They do not sponsor me and neither does anyone else…and I like it that way. The last 2 weeks I have hammered them with the Bloom. I followed their nutrient schedule and then raised the EC to around 2.4 by adding straight bloom. All nutrients were then PH’d to 5.5-5.6. This week and next nutrients will be on normal feed off of Front row’s feed chart. Then flush. This week was amazing. The single plant that was lagging behind has caught up to the rest in the room. Probably 2-3 weeks left on the whole room. This week, til finish, temps will be lowered to 77 during the day and 65 at night. I feel this is very important to get a good crust of trichromes on the plants. It will work! Thanks to everyone who has been sticking around. I know I do a longer veg than most and I hope I’ve kept things interesting. See you next week guys and girls!
