New week starts __________ 🌞26.04 It's a first day of pre-flowering period today. I've changed schedule to 12/12hrs and turned on third 100w lamp. (This is not entirely correct, because I'm using one and a half 200W lamp. There was no room for two of them and I was forced to cut one of them in a half) My babies started to grow dramatically fast after flushing two days ago and i decided to do one more particial defoliation procedure. Now a yong branches they grew has more light and space wich should help them to produce more flowers. Spraiyed all four with 'Sea Weed' and prepared to feel a strong smell after a few days (if You know what I mean 😉). I'll flush them with 'FloraKleen' solution tomorrow to outwash saults, then start to feed them in a 'Pre-flowering' mode. 🌞27.04 Nothing today except 'SeaWeed' spraying. I decided to not flush my plants today, because the soil is still too wet. I'll do this procedure tomorrow in the morning (when the lights will turns on). Girls are growing dramatically fast now, especially 'Hulk Berry' wich was the smallest. It dobled its volume in one night! 🌞28.04 I flushed my plants with 45 litres of 'GHE FloraKleen' solution in 3ml/l retio. It was a success! Drenage EC fall from 1.9 to 0.9 (from 1850ppm to 800). Now I'll wait four or five days before watering to soil dry. Also, I spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' as usual. 'RG'#1 leaves already toching my box wall, but I am afraid to defoliate it once more to pervent male flowers developing because of a big stress on pre-flowering period. 🌞29.04 All four plants are growing faster then ever after "GHE FloraKleen" flushing. Their leaves became 1.5 times wider in one night! Even 'HB' miniature leaves are spredding out in size. I spraiyed them with 'G.H. Protect' today. 🌞30.04 My plants crones are too thyck. They're asking for one more defoliation, literally. I'm still afreid to do this. Maybe I will do this a few days laiter when I'll water them. Till then I'm only bending big leaves under the top of a branches. 'G.H.Protect' spraing and that's all for today. 🌞01.05 Nothing for today. Even no spraying. My grow box is in the 'stealth' mode (hidden in the wardrobe-looking shell) so there will be no photo today. It's too difficult to open it, ecpesially there is no sense to do this just to take a picture. I'll water my plants tomorrow, so there will be an update. 🌞02.05 No watering today, the soil still too wet. I made one more defoliation instead. Almost half of a crones were cutted (big old leaves and some lowest branches). I think it's a good thing, because there were alot of new branches and no light reaching them. Now light goes toll the very bottom of my plants, forcing small yong leaves to grow quicker. ___________ Week ends.

debido a quemaduras que encontre en las plantas el dia 14/06, dia 29 desde germinacion, debi regar con cal max, ya que creo que hay falta de calcio - magnesio. aplique 1.2 ml por litro de agua. no creo que sea exceso de ferti ya que todos riegos se han preparado con la dosis minima que indica. se sigue regando con 0.4 L cada 48hrs una tecnica que he hecho es ir acomodando o doblando las hojas hacia abajo dando prioridad a los bracitos de cada planta. Dia 30: riego de agua 600 ml de agua Dia 32: todas las plantas en floracion Aplicamos solo tek groow ya que las manchas en las plantas se debian a falta de azúfre lo concluimos con un grupo de amigos todos growers y un agrónomo. Por que queremos continuar con la tabla de grotek nutrients y el domingo dia 34 aplicar blossom blaster

Alright guys, now we're up to date I didn't write that much before because I wanted to get here first. Actual date Feb 10th They're looking good No nutrient burnt so far 24/0 Schedule Watering every 2 days but continue to spray on them like 2 liters everyday to increase humidity lvl to optimal condition Temp is OK Wish it was better but have to repair A/C Anyways bout the girl This gorilla girl XL is slow but developing good, taking her time to grow while it's fully LST, she's redirecting her energy to the other stems and leaves plus main trunk and slowly continues to grow its main stem We're already on 1900PPM We've been giving nutes from the very beginning plus bloom to make sure she gets loaded, but certainly lil bit not to mess up too much with her so we already on 1300ppm bloom stuff 😏 Want to get big yield let's see if we as much as we want

Alright, so I flipped her a couple days ago and she's staying in the big tent for obvious reasons... this should be a big girl... Now i've kept her in veg for longer than the dots say, but she has not been lacking anything , but if she starts asking for stuff, I will have it for her.. i still have some green sensation for late flower, as well as some other bloom boosters, and if she needs nitrogen, I got her there too, but I have a feeling she's not gonna need much aside from a tea here and there... I'm looking forward to this one... Really hoping I pull at least 10 oz... Hope everyone is doing well.God bless and happy growing 🙏

Day 8 - Tuesday 23/10,18 , I have added the nutrients into the Reservoir , she is making roots like you wouldn’t believe , over a foot long and branches , I will post a pic later , as I want the light off , talking of lights , the cycle is now 20/4 that’s 20 hrs of sun to 4 hrs of darkness , colour is good , leaves are quite fat . KEEP AN EYE ON PH AND EC DAILY !!! Lux @ 15,000 EC = +0.7 or 350 ppm Ph = 6.3 Day 9 - Wednesday , I checked the ph and a EC this morning , both were fine , put in about 50 ml of water , leaves getting fatter , roots are getting more dense and intricate Day 10 - Thursday , I tested the ph and EC , all was good, took a root shot for you Day 11 - Friday , tested ph and EC , all good , water level ok , ive noticed that it has actually turned around, can you see that? the leaves have turned..... from 10 to 4 to 6 oclock...!!! or am i losing it? lol..... Day 12 - Saturday , tested EC and ph , no water needed or nutes, leaves are green and getting bigger , look how compact the plants are , there is no stretching ,I have put more pebbles in to stop light leaks to the roots . Day 13 - Sunday - Checked EC and ph nothing needed Day 14 - Monday - Checked EC and ph , nothing needed , water level ok IMPORTANT 👁️ To prolong the lives of EC tester and ph tester ( digital ones ) ALWAYS WASH THEM OFF WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER EACH TEST 💯 you need to check the roots , in these pots if there is 2 in a system , they will become entangled and matted if you don’t lift them , EVERYDAY . Please note the pots are 14 cm in diameter

- The stretch has slowed down a lot this week, big relief! - Not much else has changed. shes still drinking a lot and the buds are starting to take shape. - Thinking I might add another fan because night time humidity is reaching 70% sometimes and i really want to avoid bud rot.

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

Human Body 65% Oxygen (in all liquids and tissues, bones, and proteins) 18% Carbon (everywhere) 10% Hydrogen (in all liquids and tissues, bones, proteins 3% Nitrogen (in all liquids and tissues, proteins 1,5% Calcium (lungs, kidney, liver, thyroid, brain, muscles, heart, bones) 1% Phosphorus (urine, bones, DNA) 0,35% Potassium (enzymes) 0,25% Sulphur (proteins) 0,15% Sodium (in all liquids and tissues) (in terms of salt) 0,05% Magnesium (lungs, kidney, liver, thyroid, brain, muscles, heart) The average adult male contains about 140 g of K(Potassium); the level varies with body weight and muscle mass. We ingest about 2.5 g per day of K from our food and excrete about the same amount. 0.0118 % of that is K40 The answer is that they were present when our earth was formed. Any radioactive material originally present at the formation of the earth would have decayed and disappeared if its half-life was short compared to the age of the earth. However, if its half-life were long, close to or greater than the age of the earth, then such materials would not have disappeared but are still with us today. There are several radioelements in this category, such as the well-known elements uranium and thorium. Thorium (Th232) has a half-life of 14,000,000,000 years, uranium has two long-lived radioisotopes; U238 has a half-life of 4,500,000,000 years, and U235 has a half-life of 710,000,000 years. These give rise to the radium and thorium atoms found in all humans, acquired from the food we eat. That food, of course, obtained these materials from the soil in which it grew or on which it grazed. Potassium is also in this category. There are actually three potassium isotopes: K39, a stable isotope, is the most abundant, at 93.26 % of the total; K41 is next in abundance at 6.73 % and is also a stable isotope. The potassium isotope of interest is a radioactive isotope, K40. It is present in all potassium at a very low concentration, 0.0118 %. It has a very long half-life, 1,260,000,000 years. When it decays 89 % of the events give rise to the emission of a beta ray with maximum energy of 1.33 MeV. The other 11 % of the decays produce a gamma-ray with an energy of 1.46 MeV The forces required to forge thorium 232 can only be harnessed when traveling close to or at the speed of light, so essentially what I'm getting at is 0.0118% of every person alive is formed of the same element that was forged in the anvil of creation itself. We are all one & the same German chemist Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner attempted to classify elements with similar properties into groups of three elements each. These groups were called ‘triads’. Dobereiner suggested that in these triads, the atomic mass of the element in the middle would be more or less equal to the mean of the atomic masses of the other two elements in the triad. An example of such a triad would be one containing lithium, sodium, and potassium. The atomic mass of lithium 6.94 and that of potassium is 39.10. The element in the middle of this triad, sodium, has an atomic mass of 22.99 which is more or less equal to the mean of the atomic masses of lithium and potassium (which is 23.02). 9 controls the 6 and 3. The Limitations of Dobereiner’s Triads are : All the elements known at that time couldn’t be classified into triads. Only four triads were mentioned – (Li,Na,K ), (Ca,Sr,Ba) , (Cl,Br,I) , (S,Se,Te). 2. Newland’s Octaves English scientist John Newlands arranged the 56 known elements in increasing order of atomic mass in the year 1866. He observed a trend wherein every eighth element exhibited properties similar to the first. Azomite contains 180ppm of thorium. Your plant will thank you, you are welcome. Most farmers do have not a proper understanding of what is Azomite and how to use it in gardening, especially if they practice organic farming. Continuous propagation and leaching effects of water deplete the essential minerals and micro-nutrients from the soils. Such soils remain weak, not able to support the production of fruits and vegetables. Azomite mineral contains micronutrients that supplement the soil. It also balances the minerals for growth and overall productivity. Constant use of this mineral rejuvenates your soil renewing its potency again. Azomite is a naturally mined mineral product that is ready to use. It’s a unique rock that comes from a mine in central Utah. Azomite requires no mixing or special preparation before use. It is derived from volcano ash that spewed out millions of years ago. It contains the widest range of minerals of all the rock dust in the world. Azomite provides plants with 70% essential elements. These elements include magnesium, calcium, potassium, and silicon for plant growth. Facts About Azomite Fertilizer It’s a natural mineral – 100% natural with no fillers or additives Does not contain any harmful elements Requires no special preparation before use It’s odorless – very friendly to use Does not restrict water penetration or aeration Is easily broken down and absorbed into the soil Does not burn plants. READ ALL OF THIS, Magic is real:) Mag(net)ic has always been real. Nuclear charge radii are sensitive probes of different aspects of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and the bulk properties of nuclear matter, providing a stringent test and challenge for nuclear theory. Experimental evidence suggested a new magic neutron number at N= 32 (refs. 1–3) in the calcium region, whereas the unexpectedly large increases in the charge radii4,5 open new questions about the evolution of nuclear size in neutron-rich systems. By combining the collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy method with β-decay detection, we were able to extend charge radii measurements of potassium isotopes beyond N= 32. Here we provide a charge radius measurement of 52K. It does not show a signature of magic behavior at N= 32 in potassium. The results are interpreted with two state-of-the-art nuclear theories. The coupled cluster theory reproduces the odd-even variations in charge radii but not the notable increase beyond N= 28. This rise is well captured by Fayans nuclear density functional theory, which, however, overestimates the odd-even staggering effect in charge radii. These findings highlight our limited understanding of the nuclear size of neutron-rich systems and expose problems that are present in some of the best current models of nuclear theory. The charge radius is a fundamental property of the atomic nucleus. Although it globally scales with the nuclear mass as A1/3, the nuclear charge radius also exhibits appreciable isotopic variations that are the result of complex interactions between protons and neutrons. Indeed, charge radii reflect various nuclear structure phenomena such as halo structures6, shape staggering7, and shape coexistence8, pairing correlations9,10, neutron skins11, and the occurrence of nuclear magic numbers5,12,13. The term ‘magic number’ refers to the number of protons or neutrons corresponding to completely filled shells. In charge radii, a shell closure is observed as a sudden increase in the charge radius of the isotope just beyond magic shell closure, as seen, for example, at the well-known magic numbers N=28, 50, 82, and 126 (refs. 5,12–14).In the nuclear mass region near potassium, the isotopes with proton number Z≈20 and neutron number N=32 are proposed to be magic on the basis of an observed sudden decrease in their binding energy beyond N=32 (refs. 2,3) and the high excitation energy of the first excited state in 52Ca (ref. 1). Therefore, the experimentally observed a strong increase in the charge radii of calcium4 and potassium5 isotopes between N=28 and N=32, and in particular the large radius of 51K and 52Ca (both having 32 neutrons), have attracted substantial attention. One aim of the present study is therefore to shed light on several open questions in this region: how does the nuclear size of very neutron-rich nuclei evolve, and is there any evidence for the magicity of N=32 from nuclear size measurements? We furthermore provide new data to test several newly developed nuclear models, which aim to understand the evolution of nuclear charge radii of exotic isotopes with large neutron-to-proton imbalances. So far, abinitio nuclear methods, allowing for systematically improvable calculations based on realistic Hamiltonians with nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon potentials, have failed to explain the enhanced nuclear sizes beyond N=28 in the calcium isotopes4,15. Meanwhile, nuclear density functional theory (DFT) using Fayans functionals has been successful in predicting the increase in the charge radii of isotopes in the proton-magic calcium chain10, as well as the kinks in proton-magic tin and lead12. All these theoretical approaches have, until now, been predominantly used to study the charge radii of even-Z isotopes. Here they will be applied to the odd-Z potassium isotopes (Z=19). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-020-01136-5

Day 71. Yesterday girls got 950 ppm, its my first attempt to feed them full so early, but Gorillas looked to bright and i dont care about Cookies anymore. At the moment Cookies are overfed and with biggest inner nodes that i ever grew. I knew that this strain is far from being compact, but not like this.... Tomorrow they will be striped, just not the NotFloweringCookie and all girls from control garden. Lets see... Day 72. Defoliation and all related... Hope they will like it... If all 4 Cookies you would put into one bundle, any Gorilla would be bigger.... Waist of time... Check Control Garden size, its 3 weeks veged plants vs Cookie..... Day 73. Girls are happy and hopefully will start to bulk up, smell is getting stronger... They took defoliation as champs! Heavy feeding for next two weeks, with only one pure watering inbetween...

Week 28 – Flowering Week 5 This week represents an important transition phase in the Pineapple Upside Down’s flowering cycle. Early floral sites are clearly evolving into real buds. Density is starting to build, and the plant is visibly shifting from initial flower formation toward true bud stacking. This change is now easy to observe in photos, making this a critical stage not to miss. To support this transition, PK levels were slightly increased. The goal is not to force growth, but to ensure the plant has sufficient resources to bulk steadily and without stress. Light intensity remains unchanged from the previous week. PPFD has not been increased yet, as the plant is responding well and stability remains the priority. Nutrient management and environmental consistency are the main focus this week. pH is monitored closely and maintained within a 5.8 to 6.2 range to ensure optimal uptake during this sensitive phase. No other major interventions were made. The strategy remains simple: observe, maintain balance, and allow the plant to progress naturally into heavier bud development. See you next weeek.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Panty Punch de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y son bien prietas, aparte son súper aromáticas huelen mucho. (COLOQUEN UN BUEN FILTRO PARA EL OLOR). a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para SOG y es bien vigorosa, es muy fácil cultivarla y muy resistente merece la pena si eres cultivador principiante. Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Transplants been done into final containers(20l)and started LST.They doing really well,they've started sexing so I reckon from next week I'd say week 1 flower.Havent fully saturated the medium as yet with fertigation ,want that stem thicker before I do that. Weathers been decent but the wind has been strong on 1 or 2 days.

Hey hey Growmies! Smooth sailing for this little Samsquanch OG, in the begnning of the week I 3D printed a Hydro Halo to keep this girl moist as she sends out roots. A couple of days later, roots had shot out of every direction so I removed the halo and started LST and leaf tucking. This is where we start seeing growth! my first Mephisto Auto, Im excited That's it for now Growmies, I hope you'll follow along with these great artisinal genetics! Stay safe and keep Growing. I'm still looking for decent Black Diamond OG seeds, or something very close to it genetically, I'm also looking to add a second tent/light to my grow space, if you can score me a great deal or sponsorship, hit me up.

6/20/21 - They look great! On track and the stretch has stopped completely. See pics and video from today… 6/21/21 - Day 30 of flower! Half way there :) They’ve been drinking water without any runoff coming out of the pots. Also the stretch has stopped and they look good. 6/22/21 - On track. Good size buds and a good smell. Excited for harvest! The room is filling up with flowers. 6/23/21 - I am still feeding with the nutrients listed above which is Week 9 on the schedule. 6/24/21 - We are very happy with the growth and bud size. They look and smell great! 6/25/21 - They are doing well. Just flowering away. I’ll post pics soon. Other than feeding them I am just letting the plants flower. No techniques being used. 6/26/21 - I missed a week on the feeding schedule and gave it straight water. I’m going to run Week 9 again and go from there.
