Up-potted from it's seedling cup to 1 gallon bags during the week. I will top it this week. Growth has been a little slower than hoped but it's looking strong so I'm happy.

Clone#2 : BCN Critical XXL

New Life New Adventure

The plants have slowed their uptake of water. That combined with cooler temps have reduce to watering to a few gallons a day. I've included my end of generative 3 phase nutrient formula for this week. They are all close to generative 4 so I'll be watching for the upper leaves to fade to see if they will need to be fed. All of the plants were given tap water on day 1. Day 2 of this week everyone received the nutrient formula listed @2 gallons per pot. Day 3-7 this week just tap water. Plants are feeding lite and there's plenty of nutrient built up in the soil.

22cm vertical growth this week!! Now 62cm tall She's very bushy. I tried some stuff this week, bent over some branches etc, trimmed off all leaves on the main stem and some from the lower branches. I don't usually defoliate this early or this intense, but but sites were being blocked from the light, so they had to go. lets keep an eye on the results (if any) of that over the next few weeks.

For this week, since its second week of bloom, will give it a P boost to the 1st gen mother to make sure she knows it's time to switch gears and flower. So taking out Flora Bloom and added dry Koolbloom which is 1-42-22 450PPM and also added 100 PPM of Flora Grow and 100 of CaMg for my main macro/supplement. Will be doing silica every other week and Hydro guard every week (since I found brown slime) Will resume with Flora Bloom next week. Been only doing Hydro for cloning and vegging so its my first time encountering brown Slime. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? What I know... - Need to lower PH to closer to 5-5.5 from 6.0 - Added Hydro Guard to fight slim - Minimize Air Stone duration - Been having it on pretty long because I have one large pump and I use it to brew Compost tea for my organic grow. - Need to minimize light penetration to resi - I have a perforated plastic cover laying around the house and I have been using that to cover the resi and sometime I even forget to put it on. Anything else? I run totally chemical nutes from GH Flora Series. And I have been sharing the PH and PPM meter with my organic nuets which I brew for 36 hours before use. Maybe some of that got contaminated thru that? Cause I have been using the same bucket system (without res) to raise my mothers for almost 7 months already and never encounter any slim before. I think I finally understand what tops are LOL: So please correct me if I am wrong... What I understand: - All tops large or small will "stretch" at the first weeks of flowering - Most of the "stretch" only occurs at the tops - The "stretch" will determine the length of that bud - The "stretch" should be as high as possible BUT with short distances between the NEW internodes that develop during that period. for a large and dense bud. - Don't get confused with stretch that cannabis experience under low light.

Managed to break a main stem, tried my best to get her back on in rapid fashion, but it was a 95% clean break, so I can't expect 🙃 much. Oh well, that's what I get for cracking bad jokes. Genetics is the study of heredity, the passing of traits from parents to offspring, while photomorphogenesis is the developmental process in plants where light influences growth and development. Genetics focuses on the fundamental principles of heredity and gene expression, while photomorphogenesis specifically investigates how light signals affect plant morphology, including growth, elongation, and overall development. Photomorphogenesis, the light-mediated developmental process in plants, involves complex gene expression regulation. This regulation occurs at multiple levels, from the initial perception of light signals by photoreceptors to the activation of specific gene networks and post-transcriptional modifications. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pce.12934 Photomorphogenic responses to ultraviolet-B light Gareth I. Jenkins First published: 09 February 2017 https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.12934 Citations: 173 A further response involving UVR8 and auxin signaling is leaf epinasty, which is the downward curling of leaf edges away from incident light. A recurrent theme in recent research is that UVR8 often functions through interaction with other signaling pathways. In particular, several studies highlight an interaction between UVR8 and the hormonal pathways that regulate extension growth. One example is the role of UVR8 in suppressing the shade avoidance response. Many plant species respond to the presence of neighbouring vegetation by stimulating extension growth as a result of increased auxin biosynthesis. Leaves absorb red light but reflect far-red light, and therefore shading by vegetation leads to a relative decrease in the ratio of ambient red:far-red light, which is detected by phytochrome, causing a decrease in Pfr relative to Pr (Casal 2013; Fraser et al. 2016). In turn, the decrease in Pfr/Pr leads to an increase in stability and activity of several PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) transcription factors, notably PIFs 4, 5 and 7, which stimulate expression of auxin biosynthesis genes, leading to extension growth (Hornitschek et al. 2012; Li et al. 2012). Hayes et al. (2014) showed that UV-B antagonizes shade avoidance responses in Arabidopsis elicited by low red:far-red light, and the UV-B effect was strongly impaired in uvr8 mutant plants. UV-B, detected by UVR8, inhibited the increase in expression of auxin biosynthesis and signaling genes promoted by reduced red:far-red light. Furthermore, UVR8 signaling stimulated GA2OXIDASE1 expression, which causes reduced levels of gibberellic acid and consequent stabilization of DELLA proteins, which antagonize PIF activity (De Lucas et al. 2008; Feng et al. 2008). Whereas the effect of UV-B on GA2OXIDASE1 expression required HY5/HYH, that on the auxin related genes did not. The experiments further showed that UV-B elicited destruction of PIFs 4 and 5 and the stabilization of DELLA proteins, although it remains to be established directly whether the effects on these proteins are mediated by UVR8. Thus, UV-B, detected by UVR8, signals to plants that they are in sunlight and negates shade-induced extension growth by antagonizing PIF action and auxin biosynthesis. UV-B also inhibits the morphogenic responses caused by exposure to elevated temperature, which include hypocotyl extension in seedlings and petiole extension and leaf elevation in mature plants; again, the effect of UV-B is substantially mediated by UVR8 (Hayes et al. 2016). However, in contrast to the action of UV-B in suppressing shade avoidance, UV-B inhibition of thermomorphogenesis does not involve either PIF destruction or an effect on DELLA proteins. PIF4 is a key regulator of thermomorphogenesis, promoting expression of genes concerned with auxin biosynthesis and signaling. UV-B inhibits PIF4 transcript accumulation, consequently preventing an increase in PIF4 protein, and also stabilizes the LONG HYPOCOTYL IN FAR-RED 1 transcription factor, which binds to PIF4, impairing its ability to bind to DNA. Together, these mechanisms block the accumulation and activity of PIF4 at elevated temperature (Hayes et al. 2016). The inhibition of thermomorphogenesis by UV-B is likely to be advantageous for plants, as it will prevent detrimental extension growth under natural conditions where elevated temperature is often accompanied by exposure to relatively high levels of UV-B. Another auxin-regulated growth response is phototropism. It is well established that phototropism in response to unilateral UV-A/blue light is mediated by phototropins, which direct accumulation of auxin on the non-illuminated side of the stem, causing localized extension and hence bending towards the light source (Christie & Murphy 2013). Vandenbussche et al. (2014) reported that UV-B can also induce phototropic bending and that the UV-B response in phot1phot2 mutant plants requires UVR8. However, UV-B-induced bending is slower in phot1phot2 than in wild type, indicating that phototropin action is involved in the wild-type UV-B response, and that the phototropin-mediated response is faster than that mediated by UVR8 (Vandenbussche & Van Der Straeten 2014; Vandenbussche et al. 2014). Moreover, the response mediated by phototropin is initiated at lower fluence rates than that mediated by UVR8 (Vanhaelewyn et al. 2016b). The UV-B-induced phototropic response involves the establishment of an auxin gradient across the hypocotyl, as in the UV-A/blue light response, but formation of the gradient in UV-B does not require phototropins and involves some different auxin signaling components to phototropism mediated by UV-A/blue light (Vandenbussche et al. 2014). UVR8 mediates repression of genes involved in auxin biosynthesis and signaling, which likely contributes to the generation of the auxin gradient across the hypocotyl. Vandenbussche & Van Der Straeten (2014) showed that the accumulation of HY5 on the UV-B exposed side of the hypocotyl (demonstrated using a HY5-YFP fusion) correlated with UVR8 response kinetics and is likely to mediate the repression of auxin biosynthesis genes on the illuminated side. A further response involving UVR8 and auxin signaling is leaf epinasty, which is the downward curling of leaf edges away from incident light. Epinasty is stimulated by UV-B exposure (Wilson & Greenberg 1993; Jansen 2002) and also by the action of phyB, whereas phototropins promote leaf flattening (Kozuka et al. 2013). Fierro et al. (2015) showed that the epinastic response to UV-B in Arabidopsis is mediated by UVR8, most likely through the regulation of auxin transport. Moreover, they found considerable overlap in the sets of genes regulated by UVR8 and phyB, notably in the repression of genes involved in auxin action. The phyB action in epinasty involves the regulation of specific PIFs (Johansson & Hughes 2014), and there is evidence that PIFs are required for the UV-B-induced response (Fierro et al. 2015). A possible scenario is that UV-B de-stabilizes PIFs, as in the inhibition of shade avoidance, causing the repression of auxin response genes and consequently initiating the changes in auxin transport associated with the epinastic response. Fasano et al. (2014) highlighted the potential interactions between UVR8 and abiotic stress signaling pathways and proposed that the cross-talk may involve auxin signaling. They reported that high salt and osmotic stress stimulate UVR8 expression and that a uvr8 mutant has increased salt tolerance under UV-B conditions. In addition, the reduced extension growth of plants over-expressing UVR8, previously observed by Favory et al. (2009), was enhanced under osmotic stress. Fasano et al. (2014) found that the UVR8 over-expression phenotype is due to reduced cell expansion and suggested that the phenotype could be explained by altered auxin signaling. Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and high temperature will often be accompanied by relatively high fluence rates of UV-B in nature, and the interplay between UVR8 signaling and auxin signaling could be modulated under such conditions to regulate growth and promote survival. The stimulation of stomatal closure by UV-B involves interaction of UVR8 with different signaling pathways to those that regulate growth responses. In species such as Vicia faba (Jansen & Noort 2000) and Arabidopsis (Eisinger et al. 2003; He et al. 2013; Tossi et al. 2014), low fluence rates of UV-B stimulate stomatal opening whereas higher fluence rates promote closure. He et al. (2013) showed that the closure response in Arabidopsis is mediated by an increase in H2O2, generated through NADPH oxidase activity. UV-B-induced cytosolic alkalinization is involved in mediating the increase in H2O2 production (Zhu et al. 2014). In turn H2O2 stimulates NO production (He et al. 2013). Inhibition of endogenous NO accumulation prevents closure even under conditions where H2O2 remains high (Tossi et al. 2014). Tossi et al. (2014) found that UV-B-induced stomatal closure is impaired in uvr8, with a concomitant reduction in H2O2 and NO accumulation in the guard cells. Nevertheless, the mutant stomata were viable, and they closed when either a NO donor or abscisic acid was added. It is likely that UVR8 acts to promote H2O2 and hence NO accumulation, but it is not clear how it does so. The UVR8 action likely involves gene expression, because a mutant lacking the HY5/HYH transcription factors is impaired in the closure response (Tossi et al. 2014), but the relevant target genes are not known. The ability of UVR8 to influence auxin and gibberellic acid signaling, as well as redox signaling, is likely to affect a larger number of physiological processes than reported to date. Furthermore, it is likely that interactions between UVR8 and additional signaling pathways will be discovered. UVR8 photoreception leads to sequestration of COP1 and stimulation of HY5 accumulation, and both these proteins participate in a range of cellular processes (Lau & Deng 2012; Huang et al. 2014a; Gangappa & Botto 2016). For instance, COP1 is involved in controlling abundance of the flowering time regulator CONSTANS (Jang et al. 2008; Liu et al. 2008; Sarid-Krebs et al. 2015), and hence UVR8 activation might influence flowering time, as suggested in some studies (Morales et al. 2013; Fasano et al. 2014). HY5 binds to over 9000 genomic loci in Arabidopsis (Zhang et al. 2011) and regulates genes in numerous processes (Gangappa & Botto 2016). Thus, regulation of HY5 provides a potential mechanism for UVR8 to influence several aspects of plant physiology. Figure 3 illustrates some of the known and potential interactions involving UVR8.

03/13/2022 Love the colors on Grape Skunk #1 others are not as purple, again i forgot Biscotti Skunk and lemon og. 03/14/2022 Uploading Biscotti Skunk pic's I'm really loving 3 particular girls this run,all plants are exposed to PW intentionally I need girls that can take PW with no issues and three plants are spotless. The first is the only Biscotti Skunk that was female of 5 cloning for outside run but will do great in basement without PW issues. The second is lemon og spotless, and the third is the grape skunk thats got most color the second tallest of the grape skunks, cloning for testing in New England zone 7 should get at least one if not all 3 to finish before cold sets in.

Here we are ready with another fresh Zamensia genetics, indeed very fresh this time it still has to be launched to the public and when it will be we will not fail to let you know, in the meantime we present it to you under the name of XXX - TEST 1 - We are testing the plant so we will try to go into detail to give as much information as possible to the breeder who has to launch it. In the vegetative phase it was a regular plant in terms of growth, consumption of nutrients for nothing delicate I simply followed the Plagron fertilization table regularly. It immediately revealed that it is a low-intensity plant, not very high and therefore very suitable for indoor cultivation. As for techniques I do not recommend topping since it is low and with a low internode it is not easy to do it and the response is slower than plants with a medium-high internode. You can do LST on the lateral branches and on the center if you want and remember to arrange the buds, the panicles will be really very large. You will forgive me, I am currently confused by the 1000 plants I have collected and I cannot remember what it smells like, we will go into detail shortly on this aspect of taste/odors/flavors with the dry buds. The strengths of this strain are the speed of flowering, truly a plant that flowers quickly, harvested at the 7th week, the most premature growers would have picked it even at the tooth if they wanted but even the most amber growers would have picked it at the eighth. The second plant took a bit of mold and did not grow like a monster but it was suffocated by two other plants, much larger than her, the main plant in the photos is perfect. This time too we have a very Cali bud, the shape, the density are very much of the Californian genetic line. However, unlike most Cali genetics, the flowering is not very clustered, we like this very much, seeing beautiful swords, full of flowers and not bunches. Of course it is also because the plant has a low internode, do not underestimate these plants, they are small, easy to handle, they make very large flowers and produce very well. We are in the dry room, I will tell you about the dry buds soon. Perfect strain compliments to Zamnesia breeder. Most likely nowadays those who give the impression of doing Cannabis Industry manage to provide a product of extreme quality much more than the small breeders who are all stealing strains from California and crossing them with their little experiments. It is no longer the era of the flower children although we have to thank them for the anarchic work they did in the 60s and 70s now it's time to work well, cannabis is spreading all over the world and you can compete with the Americans only by working well, like they do in Zamnesia. How can I prove it to you? In the years in which I was a tester the breeders made me try a lot of good stuff but often, very often, too often I found hermaphrodites. Now always bringing up good luck, touching wood, where the sun don't shine, doing all the appropriate spells of the case we are at ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. No seeds, no balls, nothing at all and after all the years that I have heard the "expert freaks" of breeding talk now I feel like recommending the seeds of the industries much more than the small houses. I thank all the good operators of small houses and I apologize to them but I will never grow their stuff again there is an exaggerated percentage of hermaphrodites. The industries whether you like it or not guarantee success rates much much better. Especially for the wave of beginners arriving.

Day 29 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 32 04/08/24 Sunday 300ml De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today again with Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. All plants doing really well! Had an infestation of leaf minors this week, no idea how, but they are treated and I'll check every 48 hrs on progress of pets. All of them have shot up this week 💚 Day 34 06/08/24 Tuesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with calmag only. Pre flower stretch initiated, pre flower female sex pistils forming 😍 All happy and healthy!

👉I used the seedling solution 3-4 days too long and the plant looked like it was starting to have issues. I mixed some early growth solution and amost immediatly the plant looked happier and started to take off. It got no stretch so I anticipate the plant will be another short bush.

I didn’t expect this strain to show this much color looks amazing almost done.

5/28 It poured yesterday so i dodnt bring the girls outside. Seedlings are transplanted into gallon pots. Once the fill that they'll go in final homes. I brought the plants out on this overcast day to harden them off. They're under the cover of the barn though placed by the open door. I've been putting in some work. Once this rain stops I have a couple things to do on the cage then I'll put the bags in the spots I have mapped out and mix my soil and fill the bags. The next day I typically transplant and add the first layer of supports. I have more pictures but not enough time to download them. 5/29 wow this site sucks. I have already done and saved this shit but its not here. Good thing I copy and pasted from grow with Jane. Only thing that sucks is I can't upload videos. It's not working here anyway so.... Watered and used about 3 gaterade bottles total. I may have messed up and watered the event horizon to much. They seem to be getting rootbound. Plants are doing well though with the transition. They are still hardening off. Tomorrow I plan to position and fill the bags with soil and if able I'll transplant them in the next few days. I want to make sure they're hardened off. Low tonight is 49 but it's 50s after that so I should be good. I'm hoping this video will load. Very stressful to do this shit over and over. 5/30 Plants have spent all day in tje Cafe and are coming in for the night. I finished mixing soil and filling the grow bags. They are ready for transplant. Weather is looking good so if plants respond well to this mild weather they will be transplanted with first set of supports added either tomm or the next day. Depends on plants response today (so far they're doing great) on whether I transplant tomorrow or the day after. I am sore as hell. Pictures are having trouble uploading and I'm not even gonna try to upload the video I took. 5/31 Plants have been taking a few days of full sun and they're doing fine. I'm planning on transplanting this afternoon. I had to water today. I weighed the pots and some were in tje 1200's grams which is dry. I'll update as I work. I have some errands to run then I'm putting the girls in their final homes. EDIT: WIND WAS RIDICULOUS! I TRANSPLANTED 3 OF THE HEALTJY GMO'S. WHEN I GOT BACK PLANTS WERE RIGHT SIDEWAYS FROM THE WIND. I WENT WITH INTUITION AND TRANSPLANTED 3 GMO'S. OTHER BAGS ARE READY. THE REST OF THE PLANTS WILL GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING. THE SMALL SUPPORTS I HAD DIDNT DO SHIT. I HAD TO ADD TOMATO CAGES AND TOE THE STALK TO THE TOMATO CAGE. SUCKS I COULDNT GET THEM ALL IN BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. TRANSPLANTS WENT REAL SMOOTH. KNOCK ON WOOD. I TJ8NK THE OTHERS WILL TOO. THEY'RE READY FOR A NEW 6/1 Finished transplanting everything. Easiest transplant I've had so far. 4 gmo 1 toasted toffy 1 sherb pie and 2 event horizon. Everything is in 20 gal smart pots. One gmo is in a 30 gal smart pot. The medium is 1/3 of each roots organic 707, fox farm happy frog and fox farm ocean forest. Used mykos when transplanting. Wind gusts were coming from everywhere direction so I couldn't put a tarp up to block it. I bought "grow cages" which are kind of like tomato cages. The wind is so strong it blows the plants right against the cage. Oh well. I hope it works out. I'll check on them a little later and see how they're doing. 6/2 It was 45 degrees this morning. Nice out now. Plants are doing good. A couple gmos are drooping but it was cold. One gmo looked as good as ever! Sherb pie and toasted toffy are totally unaffected. In this new area plants get a lot of direct sun. Slight tacking on the gmos in the front. The event horizons really needed that transplant. Grow cages seem to be working out well. 6/3 I Watered the garden this morning as its been 75-80 out. I only used a gallon of water for the 8 clones. I'm not sure if I watered enough when I transplanted or not. Some plants have some burns from the intense direct sunlight. Plants could've used a bit more hardening but they'll be fine. A few of them seem great and have no real signs of stress dispute 25mph wind gusts and 15 mph constant wind and this hot sun. I should go check on my plants again this evening but I figure they'll be alright until morning. I've had an incredibly busy day and they were fine at noontime. I'm going to consult my other diaries and see what I did watering volume wise. I've for some videos but they take FOREVER to upload. EDIT: Looked at last year's diary and it was rainy as fuck and I took way more time hardening the plants. I've had more going on in life which has effected that. Went over at 3pm and gave the plants 3 more gallons of water. Bags were light and soil was dry af. Granted I added soil after it settled but still. I watered one gallon this morning so I figured 3 more gallons would make it a half gallon a plant. Planning to increase to a gallon each if they do OK. Its supposed to thunder storm tomorrow so hipfully we will get some rain. I removed one leaf that was bleached but there are a few others. The weather is beautiful but we've gotten zero rain. In hindsight perhaps I should've given the plants an extra gallon at least.

Primo giorno della seconda settimana, Oggi ho ricevuto per posta cocos a e b, e abbassa pH e misuratore di pH. Ho subito provveduto subito a dare acqua con pH giusto per la prima volta. Fortunatamente tutte le piantine a parte una godono di una meravigliosa salute. Una sola ha mostrato due piccole macchie gialle sui bordi foglie , penso sia dovuto a pH sbagliato dei giorni scorsi. Vedrò cosa succede nei prossimi giorni. 27 gennaio 2 dei 4 pannelli led della lampada si sono bruciati. Venerdì arriverà una nuova lampada . Ho preso una niello 1200w con creecob , sarei contento di sapere se qualcuno la usa come si trova , o comunque di ricevere qualche info in più. 9 giorno mentre attendo la nuova lampada led, le piante continuano a crescere. Giorno 10 arrivata la nuova lampada da 1200w della niello dopo un paio di ore di accensione le piante sembrano gradire. Ho ancora molti dubbi sulla quantità di acqua da dare e ogni quanto ma sto studiando per il capirlo meglio. Ultimo giorno di questa seconda settimana. Le piantine sembrano crescere bene tranne una. È rimasta piccola e con foglie verde scuro. Ho letto tantissime cose sulle varie cause, troppo azoto, troppa acqua etc . L ho trapiantata in un nuovo caso con nuovo terriccio e trattata con una doppia dose di radici di potere, ed enzimi speriamo si riprenda.

This week the weather is better. The buds are getting fat and she is developing well. Terpes are amazing, sweet fruits and fresh mint.

Alright gents, it’s the 2 week homestretch!!! Gonna start flushing with RO water and that’s it. Want to get rid of all the nutes I’ve been feeding for that nice smooth smoke. pH of 6.2-6.4......temperature usually 72-76 F on the water. I only have be defoliating the bright yellow/white leaves. Today was my last feeding with nutes and I’m excited to see development without nutes. Really happy so far with my first grow. Spent so much time on YouTube, reading articles, and scrolling through so many friggin forums.

Super pumped to try it out, reminds me of when I was a teenager. 🌱😎💨
