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.

Chop chop, down comes LSD. A steady favorite in my garden, this girl is frosty, sticky, has dense buds and an amazing fruity sweet aroma. Will update in 6-7 days with the dry weight and smoke report.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera segunda de floración de estas Pink Sunset feminizadas de silentseeds. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 50% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color. Agradecer Agrobeta por el envío de un kit para la temporada, son unos jefes. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Ph was way too low the last 2 weeks but ignored it, since super soil. A few plants are very not happy about it So I drained the reservoire and cleaned everything out and PH'd the water to 6.8 with some sodium bicarbonate 🤞

they are transitioning nicely.

* ***************** Week 2 of Growth From Seed, April 18 to 25, 2020 - Days 8 to 14 from germination ********************** * Getting rolling on week 2. The two girls are doing well. GSC2 was named as such due to being slower than the other pheno but she is now advancing faster with respect to her third set of leaves😃😃👍 This are the fist couple of weeks of veg.......not overly exciting. Each girl only has 4 to 6 leaves.......what the hell are you supposed to do😂😂😂😂😂😂 Focusing on environmental changes this week......not too radical though, they are still autos with only three weeks of veg time, roughly👍 Switch CalMag this week and going with GH as it has a 1% value for Nitrogen. Will be increasing the CalMag now as well. Will be getting ppm in the 500 range more this week. May start to introduce AN Sensyzime this week. Keep moving the lights up and down trying to dial in between 18” and 30” and see how they react. Seems to be about 24” right now they are happy. Playing with the VPD and finding that they are not as happy with the VPD up around 1.0 and rather happier around 1.4??? (lower humidity keeping same heat) Happier meaning tips up more and in general looking like they are getting bigger. Played with humidity this weekend as well between 52% and 75%. Again, they seem happiest around 58%..........going to try that for a couple of days and see how they grow for the next few days. I feel they are all a little slower at the high humidity when coming closer to 1.0 for VPD. Not backing away from this but rather trying to read the girls as I am used to🤪🤪🤪🤪 *****Daily Detail: Apr 18, Day 9 - VPD - 1.1 - 2L feed with Vitathrive and Velokelp and Dual Fuel @ 0.75ml/L, CaMg+ @ 0.75ml/L = 575ppm, 5.8pH. - playing with humidity up and down today. - ready for a plain water feed and a little larger quantity to soak all the medium. - not sure if tomorrow though.......might be a little wet yet in the medium. - GSC is doing well but GSC2 is the one that has really picked up the last two days😃😃😃 Apr 19, Day 9 - VPD - 1.3 - 2L watering today with CaMg and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L each. 240ppm with 5.9pH. - Had more runoff, that was the goal. Didn't bother to measure this though. - Just trying to bring the medium pH in line and reduce some of the ppm. - Things just aren't progressing as I think they should. Apr 20, Day 10 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day - lower humidity in tent to 55% Apr 21, Day 11 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day, again. Humidity kept low. - Added home made CO2 to the tent today. - GSC 3.0" tall, and GSC2 2.5" tall only. - GSC has wider leaves and nice star shape from above. - GSC2 has more elongated leaves and is covering more of the pot. Apr 22, Day 12 - VPD 1.4 - Dry out day yet again but now raising the humidity back to 65%. - tips back up today. Apr 23, Day 13 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - P & V & Vitathrive @ 1ml/L, DF & CalMag@ 0.5ml/L = 410ppm and 5.9pH - primarily calmag and something for roots. - GSC is getting wider indica looking leaves. She is still slower than 2 but looks very pretty in structure. - GSC2 has some narrow blades. All of her leaves are really up today….she is very happy. Apr 24, Day 14 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - Voodoo and Piranha and VeloKelp @ 2ml/L = 180ppm pH'd to 5.6 - tough week.......they battled over watering as a result of some over feeding last week.

Love every plant each one is growing differently stacking different even the visual difference of one strain growin two different ways combined smells of diesel, pez candy and lemons

Stacy wurde getoppt vor 4 Tagen

Die Pflanze entwickelt sich insgesamt sehr kräftig und vital. Nach 24 Tagen habe ich sie über der fünften Nodie getoppt. Die Triebe der ersten Nodie wurden zuvor entfernt, sodass sich die Energie gezielt auf die oberen Strukturen verteilen konnte. Einige Tage nach dem Topping habe ich mit dem Low Stress Training begonnen, um die Seitenarme gleichmäßig auszurichten. Beim Umtopfen in den finalen 25-Liter-Topf habe ich dem Substrat Green House Feeding Bio Grow mit einer Dosierung von 2 g pro Liter Erde beigemischt. Trotz dieser vergleichsweise moderaten Düngemenge zeigt die Pflanze leichte Anzeichen einer Überdüngung. Da bis zum Beginn der Blüte keine weiteren Nährstoffe hinzugegeben werden, ist davon auszugehen, dass sich dies im Laufe der Zeit von selbst reguliert und keinen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung haben wird. Durch das Topping über der fünften Nodie und das Entfernen der untersten Triebe verfügt die Pflanze aktuell über acht stabile Seitenarme. Diese werden konsequent per LST bis an den Rand des Zeltes trainiert, um eine gleichmäßige Flächenverteilung und eine optimale Lichtausnutzung zu erreichen.

She's growing good! Was able to start some LST on this girl. I think I'll be flipping the light schedule in the next day or 2. As I said before, I don't want to veg long as this is my first hydro grow. Can wait to see how she turns out.

Starting to feel like autopilot. Running into some minor problems this week in terms of feeding. Plant #3 had a runoff PPM of around 4000. Immediately decided to fllush her, but because of the medium's waterholding - the earth feels really heavy, even multiple days afterwards. She will be enjoying a two week flush and will then be chopped.

Beginning of week 8 of flower. This week I tossed a different light into the tent to be able to see what it really looks like. I think she’s looking really good. Today I gave her the last feeding before harvest. Regular water from here on out. The plant doesn’t seem to be doing anything at all. I don’t notice much difference, but I am looking at it each day, so it will be harder for me to notice. I'm receiving a dehumidifier today. This will help me really control the humidity in here.

Hi guys, thanks for stopping by here.. Smell awesome for this two leady, not ultra resinous but very very sticky... I love the structure of the buds😍.. Now they are at day 54 from 12/12.. Only water.. The bigger one I think it's fine for harwest in the next five/seven days.. The "smallest" one in seven or more few days.. Can't wait to dry cure and smell the aroma come out from the jair ..and also vape too and get super stone😎🤣.. See you next week... Harwest day.. Bye ✌️ I hope you can see all three video because I can always see only the first one..

All details will be added every day/week if u have any questions feel free to ask. December 4th:starting in the winter, veg and bloom will happen under 400watt hps to keep the grow room warm. the seeds have been germinating for 2 days with the wet paper towel technique, they got root and are now in soil and the rockwool cube. for now im just waiting for the seeds to show root coming out of the rockwool, then i transplant to the netpot with clay pellets straight in the dwc, untill then they get fluorescent light (max 7 days) these are autoflowers so they get 18 or 20 hours light. nutrients General hydroponics three part :micro gro bloom and calmag water: rainwater (25ppm) i hope the room wont cool of too much when the lights go out. Day 1 (December 5) seeds start to come above the rockwool and the soil Day 2 (december 6) stems start to stretch i give them both pure rain water with 100ppm calmag when they feel dry. Day 4 (december 8) still no root visible out of the rockwool Day 5 (december 9) root visible outside of rockwool cube and transplant to the 55Liter rdwc air pumps 10l/minute Day 7 (december 11) root comes trough netpot, i lowered the water by removing 3Liters

This project is kind of experiment with e-bay cheap led 150w ufo light. Week two, to be honest wasn't so spectacular, but I found out that plant was developing it's root system ( i'll try to post picture of roots next time). Week three went surprisingly well, the plant grown over twice of it's last week size. I'm looking forward for next week effects - the cheapo light with DWC system may bring some spectacular results.

Hi GD Family, A big thank you to Green house Seeds Co, for selected to test their new US genetic. My previously run was a #Wonder Pie came from this bank, and i'm verry happy of the result. So, I'm pressed to see what this strain has in the belly !!! 💪💪💪💪 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Puted the seeds into a glass of mineral water to activate them. Then, putted them between two papels of towel until the germination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The first four seeds did not germinate. I gave two more to germinate on June 20, in less than 24 hours, with the same method previously writed, the two germs came out !!! 😊😊😊 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peace to all ✌️🏼✌️🏻✌️🏿✌️✌️🏾✌️🏽

Die trichome sind alle milchig ich warte noch 1 letze Woche und dann kommt die Ernte 😊👌🏻 Danke @skunkydog für die Unterstützung mit vielen Infos Mein erster Grow und ich bin bis jetzt zufrieden die Blüten sind richtig schön geworden
