Hello, my growing friend! I'm downloading new photos and day comments every new day, so go back and see full last week diary right now! --------------- New week starts. 🌞12.12.2022 My girls looks healthier then ever after I flushed them both with 'GHE Clean' solution and gave them 75% of nutrient's 'Pre flowering' doze. I hope this trend will last till the very end of this run. Flowering in progress! I sprayed them with 'SeaWeed' as usual and that's all for today's treat. 🌞13.12.2022 Today I watered my babies with 75% of 'GHE' nutrients plus 'Advanced PK' in a half of recommended doze. Their leaves looking downwards after the lights was ON and i think it's because of poore watering cycle or it's overheating. I increased lamp to plant distance to 40cm. I'll try to water them more often from now. I sprayed them with 'GHE Protect' solution to stimulate immune system and it's a last time i using this nutrient. Upd: 10hrs after watering they looks fantastic. It was water deficit. Flowers developing and smell increased. 🌞14.12.2022 I think my ladies like PK complex i gave them yesturday. Plus 2cm per 24hrs. More stigmas. Healthier look. Ph don't want to go down, it stays ~7 ignoring sulfur I putted in substrate two waterings ago. 'SeaWeed' spraying today and nothing more. 🌞15.12.2022 +1cm today. I changed girls diet. Now they'll take 'GHE SeaWeed' with water directly. Plus 'Advanced PK' in a 80% of recommended dose. Also I stopped giving them 'GHE Mineral Magic' and 'GHE Diamond Nectar'. They aren't necessery when flowering in progress. All other nutrients ('GHE Flora TriPart', 'GHE O.G.Bloom') - goes in amount of 75% from recommended doze. I don't want to overfeed my babies. Also, EC of solution is ~1.2 as well. PPM is 830. I think this are max numbers to reach. They were good sprayed with 'GHE Protect' once more. I'll spray them with pure water from now. Upd: Before watering all leaves are bent down (I watering my plants every 48hrs) and they are rising up in a couple hours after the procedure. I need to water them more often, but I have my job wich cause me to hold some steady watering periods. I'll wait some time more and then will shorten watering time to once per day graphic. 🌞16.12.2022 And again +1cm per 24hrs. It's nothing planned for today, only clean water spraing. Watering stays for tomorrow. I turned ON my main ventilation with two charcoal filters. There is no signs of a smell now, but it's too noisy. It's like a car engine running near my bed all the time. Well, I need to sacrifice something to get good results... I love how my BPPa#2 looks. It's big and bushy. Now You can clearly see it's future bud brunches and I'm really satisfied with it growth. #1 is much smaller and it forming not so much yields. There are signs of overfeeding on it's leaves and that's why it goes like this. I think #1 was too small when i started feed them bouth in a 'pre flowering' mode. #2 swallowed it, but #1 couldn't. I think she'll made it, with slightly smaller size, but as delicious as #2 will be. 🌞17.12.2022 I fed my girls with a seme mixture without 'G.H.Bloom' since it is bloom activator. It was really hard, because I got ill yesturday and have 38° temperature. But feeding is feeding. And clean water spraying, of course. Upd: +4cm per 36hrs (I forgot to do mesurments in the morning). 🌞18.12.2022 Nothing special today, only fresh water spraing. +1cm per 12hrs (almost 2cm) My BPPa#1 and #2 looks different. #2 already has violet colour in its stigmas nodes. #1 all white and it has smaller hight (20cm, and #2 has 28cm). It looks like different strain. I don't think it is so, but interested, why. ------------------------ Week ends.

The buds have developed very well this week. I had to run the dehumidifier for a few days because it was too humid for me. I had had experiences with mold and therefore preferred to be more careful I am very satisfied... The gorillas already look very sticky and shine silver, like a silverback gorilla. The Honey Cream looks like I remember it...very fluffy and hairy calyxs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controller AC Infinity Pro - connector for the external light control, RJ-12 - 2 plugs with which I can control dehumidifier and humidifier. - 2 fans run 24/7, 1 Oscillating from spider farmer Light - 12/12 h PPFD - 900-1000 µmol VPD - 1,3 - 1,6 week average RH: 54,8 % Temp: 24,2 ° VPD: 1,38 kPa

Herbies Godzilla Cookies popped it's head first with Fastbuds Wedding Glue right behind. Went ahead and put them in their new home to get further acquainted. Using Spring water PH 7.0, 31 ppm. Mixed 50/50 with tap, final ppm of 80 (for now). Then bubbled for atleast 24hrs. Longer the better so all chemistry shit that happens with the co² and carbonic acid can happen and give me more stable water. Less drastic ph swings that way. Res solution: Water 80ppm CalMag plus 4ml/2gal ^2 195-200ppm 4ml/2gal Hydroguard 1.3mL/2gal Flora Micro 1.3mL/2gal Flora Grow 1.3mL/2gal Flora Bloom Needed .75ml ph down to hit 5.81 Final ppm 295 RES stays at 68 with Ice Probe and controller. Has potential to go MUCH lower if wanted. Check ph 8am & 8pm, adjust if needed. *MORE exciting content... Late RES check this AM. I didn't bubble this spring water, just the tap. Bubbling the mixture for 24hrs plus for now on. Adding oxy is aiding in bringing PH up in the RES, along with low nute concententration. Up to 6.42 from 5.81, added .4mL down to bring it back to 5.76 after topping off RES. TDS up to 346 from ph adjustments. *swapped out the POS taotronic humidifier for a reptile fogger hooked up to a pymeter t/h controller. DEFINITELY recommend you check em out. Less then 30 bucks. RES change.. switch from nutecalc to GHE "light" feed. After crunching numbers, decided on mixing 1/2 strength week 2 feed to prep these girls for a higher dose. 2gal water-220ppm 3.6mL Micro-364ppm 3.4mL Grow-441ppm 2.6mL Bloom-482ppm. PH'd to 5.75. *pics are right at lights on, and it looks like they're still sleeping. Adjusted fans a bit since WG showing signs of stress on her leaf edges and curling a bit. Could have been from the other day when I raised the light and cranked it up to warm things up a bit.

Hi people 🤗 A lot has happened this week 😄 The 3 Blue Cheese and 2 Kosher Tangie Kush which have been in the flowering tent for 1 week have become very bushy 👍 Unfortunately I just noticed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the Blue Cheese Phenotype # 3 🤦‍♂️🏻 The picture will be given later. The rest of the Vegi tent is also progressing very well. They are repotted in 11 liter pots this week, and then come to the flowering chamber die the following week The next week there will be new pictures, until then I wish everyone a nice start into the new week 🙏🏻💪🏻 Let it grow 🍀🌱

These girls are monsters. Lol they kinda got away on me this week as I got bit busy, and I was forced to turn down my light to 750w to keep my D.P.I. In check. All good though now and things are ramping up. Not much else to say really, just keeping things rolling along. Some strains are just easy...lol Stay tuned for more next week! Cheers 💨

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (LIME GREEN CHLOROSIS) Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Come walk in the enchanted forest.
