Well, the photo period plants are looking great now, but the 2 older BlackBerry's still look like they are struggling. The newer BlackBerry seedling looks fine. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks. The Seedsman Cream & Cheese CBD and DinaFem Critical+ are looking the best overall IMO. I'll be topping and cutting clones in another week or two. I plan on getting the 2nd of 3 tents set up this weekend.πŸ‘

Hey everyone πŸ˜€. The bush is getting heavier and heavier πŸ˜…. Despite the bamboo sticks, they don't get a proper hold 😊. This week the nutrients started to be reduced so that she slowly begins to use up her remaining energy before she flushes. Until then, however, it will still take some time, and I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy πŸ™πŸ» and let it grow☘️ You can buy this Strain at : https://www.barneysfarm.com Strain : Blue gelato 41 clone from mother (Barney's Farm) ☝️ Genetics: Blueberry x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Sunset Sherbert πŸ‘ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED HLG Quantum Board 100 W ( 200 W ) πŸ’‘ Flower lamp: 2x Todogrow LED CXB3590 205 W = ( 410 W ) πŸ’‘ ☝️ Soil : Canna Terra Professional + ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Terra Vega , Canna Terra Flores , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

Where should I even begin? πŸ˜… I'm only left with 6 plants in the tent. 😀 One Purple Queen did not make it. And one Triple G was moved outside. I changed the lights. Finally. 2x 250W LED. The plants🌱: As said, I'm only left with 6 plants in the tent. One Purple Queen broke today after tying down because of a very fragile stem even after applying good amount of silica and one Triple G Was moved outside today due to its slow grow rate and I want to flip in 2 week. To little time to develop properly. Now Triple G can take his time until mid August. I left the other one in the tent, it looks more robust but still, I'm very disappointed with this batch of seeds from RQS, only 2 Triple G's and one Purple Queen made it. So that's 2/5 and 1/5. πŸ˜’ But, heads up, the Honey Cream is doing fenomenall. I did tie down the remaining plants and did some light defoliating, so they open more up after topping them. I'll give them another 2 weeks of 18h of light and then it's flip time. End of the month. Can't wait. 😁 Problems 😀: As mentioned before, I had to remove one plant and the other one broke. πŸ™„ Not everything goes on plan every time. 🀷🏻 Trial and errors. Learn from them. πŸ˜‰ APHIDS. I have forking APHIDS. But thanks god ONLY aphids. I applied some home miracle working insecticide and they are dying. 😁 Had luck I saw it now in the beginning. So I can fight them off before the bloom phase. Nasty little creatures as you can see above. Oh, broke some stems when LST was applied where I couldn't tie them down. Buuut, I tapped them up. Hope they get their sh*t togather untill next week so I can make some nicer pictures. Btw, did you see the NUT(e) BURN? No? Good😁 But it's there. Over applied some foliar feed with 19% N and natural roots shooting hormones and burned them. But lightly. Ony the tips, which is OK. The first day was a bit of a struggle for them but after 36 hours, they gone crazy. And that's the reason for tying them down today. πŸ˜… Lights πŸ’‘: 2x EasyGrow S600V2. One can easily replace a HPS or CMH. Less heat for more GAS πŸ˜… So, that's it for this week.😁 If any questions, let me know ☺️

Hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time. Little main line defoliation to focus growth. A cell is a quantum measuring device for light’s frequency to make order from the chaos that light frequencies bring from our environment. A cell performs mechanical resonance, where its intrinsic structures vibrate at specific resonant frequencies when exposed to external mechanical stimulation. Cells possess the ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from their environment, a process known as mechanosensing. This can involve the activation of signaling pathways and changes in gene expression. Cellular resonance is a component of mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical force into a biochemical signal that triggers a cellular response. Plants perceive mechanosensory stimuli, such as vibration and touch, through structures like trichomes (hairs) and specialized ion channels embedded in their cell membranes. Plants are sensitive to frequencies ranging from ultrasound to lower sound waves, such as 250 Hz. The perception depends on various factors, including the stiffness of the underlying tissue, which can be tuned by the plant to perceive specific frequencies associated with environmental cues like insect herbivory. While the exact molecular mechanisms are still being explored, scientists have identified several potential pathways that may be affected by acoustic vibrations in this frequency range: 4000-5000 Hz. Enzyme activity: Sound waves can increase the activity of certain enzymes, such as amylase, and elevate the content of soluble sugars and proteins. Increased stomatal opening in response to specific frequencies can optimize photosynthesis by increasing the plant's absorption of water and CO2. In addition to enhancing drought tolerance, sound vibrations can strengthen plants' overall resistance to stress. Studies have shown that some genes related to stress response can be activated by sound stimulation. The Emerson effect is a phenomenon where the combination of red and far-red light increases the rate of photosynthesis beyond the sum of the two wavelengths used separately. This synergy is important for understanding Extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR), which includes the far-red spectrum, because it means a more comprehensive measurement is needed to fully understand light's effect on plant growth. ePAR meters measure light up to 750 nm, which is necessary to capture the far-red light that participates in the Emerson effect. The human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color due to a combination of our cone cell sensitivity and evolutionary history. Our eyes are most sensitive to the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is the peak of our visual sensitivity, and a large part of our ancestry was spent needing to distinguish subtle variations in greenery for survival. or our primate ancestors, being able to discern subtle differences in green was crucial for survival. It helped them identify edible plants and avoid poisonous ones, as well as detect predators hiding in foliage. This constant need to distinguish shades of green drove the evolution of our color perception to become most sensitive to it. S-cones: Detect short wavelengths, perceived as blues and violets. M-cones: Detect medium wavelengths, perceived as greens. L-cones: Detect long wavelengths, perceived as reds and yellows. The primary reason for our enhanced sensitivity to green is that the peak sensitivities of the M-cones and L-cones are very close together in the green-yellow region of the visible spectrum. This overlap means that green light stimulates both the M-cones and L-cones, creating a more robust and detailed signal for the brain to interpret. In contrast, the S-cones are more isolated and respond to a much narrower band of light, leading to less sensitivity for blues. The brain's visual processing pathways also play a role. Our visual system processes color differences through "opponent channels," which compare the signals from different types of cones. The opponent channel that processes red versus green has a more precise and intricate system than the blue versus yellow channel, leading to finer discrimination in the green part of the spectrum.

Smell got really strong this week. Im keeping the AC on most of the time so the humidity levels drop down. I think still 3 weeks to go by the trichomes looks, and the plants keep fatten up ok. Almost there

Welcome to GhostGrow Chapter One by PoshGrow! 🌳 Week #11July 5th - July 12th As I expected Alaskan #4 fully done, so I'll harvest it today. Harvested at july 6th, week 11 day 1 and 72 days from seed to harvest. One of 7 plants in tent, 5 Alaskans, 1 Blueberry and 1 Lemon. Planted in 5 gallon pot. Height before harvest: 72cm. Trimmed all leafs, left only suggar ones, cutted down and hanged in dark dry-closet for slow-dry method. Maintaining 60% humidity and good air circulation. Then going for cure. After all 5 Alaskans done, I'll write a summary about this grow. ———– July 6th. So 4 girls left in a tent: Alaskan #1, #2, #3 & #5. Alaskan #1 & #5 will be ready in week or so I think. Alaskan #3 in about two weeks. And Alaskan #2... Well, hard to say really πŸ˜‚ Seems its going to be long run lol, dont even know what to do with it... Cant hold it here forever, I need to empty this space for new run, but in the other hand, you cant just throw it away, thats just aint right... Weel, we gonna see in a few upcoming weeks.

Aug 3: still going strong starting the third week of flowering. I’m putting her in the garage at 9 pm, doing the 730 nm far red light to put plant into dark mode 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So 10+ 2 h is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight or a 26 h day. The far red light definitely works as a bloom booster and helps the plants finish faster when the sun is stronger. Did morning foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Aug 4: always some defoliation to be done and I took out all the small stuff that was growing into the centre. If I had a longer season I could have left some of these small branches but I want the energy directed toward the prime bud sites. Also removing leaves makes it more stable in the wind. Yet another growing trade-off. Aug 5: she looks great coming out of the dark garage this morning. Lots of colas with lots of buds πŸ‘πŸ‘ Aug 6: added UV lights from AC Infinity. This far north we run out of strong sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. By adding UV lights, this will make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. Along with genetics, UV light is the main factor controlling trichome and THC production. Adding UV light for a couple of hours per day centred at peak sun (currently 1:39 pm) should help a lot this far north. At the other end of the light spectrum, I use Forever Green Indoor (FGI) 730 nm far red light. This is the third season using the far red light as a bloom booster and it definitely works. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes to put the plant into dark mode two hours faster, and is like getting a 26 h day. Bud ripen earlier and therefore under stronger sun. Both of these lights are low power LED used for a few hours (UV) or just a few seconds (far red). Gotta love science and technology when it allows us to figure this kind of out.

The first week of vegetation is now behind us and the 1 liter pots are already well rooted. They will now be repotted in their final pots in the 2nd week. Everything is still going according to plan and now all the plants will move into their final tent.

La semana fue realmente bien, las hojas ya estan en sus ultimos dias, amarillas y con poca fuerza. Los cogollos muy densos y gandes llenos de resina con un olor muy dulce y potente. Estoy deseando cortar esta variedad ya que probablemente corte la semana que viene πŸ‘ŒπŸ”₯

Week Three off to a great start. After having fed dry nutrients last week, Im noticing the slightest amount of nitrogen toxicity in the leaf tips. I flushed with two gallons each. Luckily it had been two weeks since their last watering, so they werent too far off my normal watering schedule. Pushing back the liquid nutrients another week or more. Thanks for liking, following, and leaving a comment or question!
