Everything is pretty much on autopilot. A blumat in a pot in the back wasnt working but i caught it before it did much damage. I think i took care of it but will watch to make sure. Added a little mammoth p to my res to get worked thru the blumats. Gonna let the tank get close to dry then ill refill wgJust about to do a tank swap for the co2 as well.

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.

SUNDAY 4/28: I plucked off some dead leaves and did some leaf-tucking. The two remaining colas on the good one in the big tent (the one I had to chop off 5 big potential colas) is really starting to bud up now. She'll make a pair of 10" colas. The bigger one in the small tent still has the big curl going on with her leaves..doubt they straighten up. The new growth looks more normal, but still I'm sure the problem was that the soil was just too compacted for her roots to flourish. I'll continue prodding and poking with a skewer to loosen the soil and get oxygen to the roots. The smaller, daintier one that I had to remove a couple branches from is stretching her remaining branches now and starting to put on the pistils. Daytime temps are still hovering around 87-90f, but I've got them sitting in 70-72f temps for 6 hours of darkness now.😁 I did a little video today and I'll take a few "glamour shots" tomorrow. MONDAY: I think I phuktup the PH again because they are getting fed everything they need and still showing signs of various deficiencies. I douched everybody with 1/3 gallon including some boomerang, calimag, bembe, bud candy, and terpinator. No time for glamour shots... TUESDAY: I was busy again today, so no glamour shots.. WEDNESDAY: I did a little training today and finally got around to taking some good photos.😎 A couple of plants in the tent, adjacent to one another, suddenly got crispy leaves..(contagion?) THURSDAY: The 'contagion' seems to be spreading through the garden... I'm thinking maybe I completely PHuktup the ph when I added silica last time and didn't correct it?? Not sure...but it's sad..they're all gonna be less than photogenic for the finish... FRIDAY: I plucked some dead leaves and misted everybody with perfectly PH adjusted spring water and increased airflow in the tent. Also decreased the dehumidifier to 45% RH. I moved a lesser plant into the small tent and a better Candesia into the big tent.

Leider habe ich von diesem Grow nur die Bilder Kurz vor der ernte aber ums mal kurz zusammen zu fassen: Ich habe die komplette Plagron Dünger Linie benutzt und bin damit auch sehr gut gefahren. SANlight: Zur Anzucht auf 30% Zum Start der Blüte 60% Wochen Später auf 80% Ab Woche 7 dann 100% Der Grow verlief reibungslos wie immer bei 420 Fastbud, da ich aber viel geschäftlich unterwegs war konnte ich den Dünger nicht ganz auf die Bedürfnisse anpassen. Ich denke beim nächsten Versuch kann ich das Ergebnis noch mehr optimieren, obwohl ich schon extrem zufrieden bin was Qualität und Quantität angeht.

D65 Just a few days until the harvest, I'm checking the evolution of the trichomes and buds, we'll see what happens, I spent a lot of energy and hours I hope it will be worth it, meanwhile in my house there is the scent of ripe oranges and strawberries I hope to find the same aroma in the smoke. D68 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Purple Lemonade, no words for describe this magnificent plant! D69 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Banana Purple Punch and Cream cookies

I’m very excited about this strain. I’ve wanted to grow this one for 20 plus years. Laws have prevented me from doing that. But now that it’s all gravy baby. I say LETS GROW!!! This plant is true to its name white widow. The buds are covered with white milky Trichomes and the buds are big and super dense. Definitely recommend and I’m going to keep one of these ladies growing at all times so I can trim off a clipping and grow it from there since this clone did so well. It was only 2/3 the time to grow. than starting from seed.

Yesterday the second Sweet and Sour and Blackberry gum have been harvested on day 78. The first SNS finished around day 70. The cheesy needs a few more days but it's super chunky.

This was a very stressful week as there were too many variables at play all at once; even my camera refused to cooperate for the first few days. The freshly transferred plants were starting to droop and I was unsure if it was transplant shock, nutrient burn, or because of the incomplete grow tent. My first batch of nutrients were mixed into a gallon bottle and was weighed by a friend using his scale; this set was enough to last weeks. For this new batch however, I didn't have my scale and used the table spoon as my measuring tool; needless to say when my TDS meter finally arrived, both runoff and the remainder of the mixed nutrients read 2800. Fortunately my light setup seemed to be inefficient still and the plants weren't drawing much nutrients and only ended up with a very light burn on the older growth. All pots were flushed back to recommend levels and the light lowered until the lux values read appropriate. This week ends my daily comments and I'll stick to this end of the week format going forward.
