Day 67: My leaves are getting very crispy so i increased the watering of the garden today and hopefully that fixes the problem. Also the girls are still healing from not having cal mag for 2 weeks. Other than that they are growing well and as always if you have any tips or tricks please feel free to share. Thank you for looking and happy growing. 😀

Chemical reactions in which, a single substance splits up into two or more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. These reactions are carried out by energy, supplied by different sources. The required energy can be supplied by heat (thermolysis), electricity (electrolysis), or light (photolysis). Let’s talk about photolysis reactions (not photosynthesis): Photolysis (also called photodissociation and photodecomposition) is a chemical reaction, in which a chemical (an inorganic or an organic) is broken down by photons and is the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule. The photolysis reaction is not limited to the effects of visible light, but any photon with sufficient energy (higher than the dissociation energy of the targeted bond) can cause the chemical transformation of the said (inorganic or organic) bond(s) of a chemical. Since the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength, electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and γ -rays, can also initiate photolysis reactions. Like all other peroxides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also consists of a relatively weaker O−O bond, which is susceptible to light or heat. The net equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2⟶2H2O+O2 The step-wise reaction mechanism is suggested as follows (Ref.1): H2O2+hν⟶2HO∙ HO∙+H2O2⟶HO−O∙+H2O HO−O∙+H2O2⟶2HO∙+H2O+O2 Using isotope studies it was confirmed that the O2 formed is cleanly derived from H2O2 (Ref.2). Notes: The rate increases rapidly in the presence of catalysts such as MnO2 and KI (Ref.2). The rate of decomposition is slow at room temperature, but it increases with temperature. It is believed to be due to thermal decomposition of H2O2, which seemingly accelerates the photolysis (Ref.3). References: 1.J. P. Hunt, H. Taube, “The Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Quantum Yields, Tracer and Fractionation Effects,” J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(23), 5999–6002 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01143a052). 2.A.

Kilpatrick, “The Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions,” J. Phys. Chem. 1927, 31(10), 1507–1510 (https://doi.org/10.1021/j150280a004). Interestingly, as early as 1934 Haber and Weiss (Ref. 1) proposed that HO2∙ is formed in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The subsequent reaction of the transient superoxide radical anion with hydrogen peroxide has been determined to also form the hydroxyl radical (Ref. 2). The higher pH version of the last reaction is, therefore, best represented as: O2∙−+H2O2⟶2HO∙+OH−+O2 And as H++OH−=H2O, the net product formation is not altered. However, alkaline H2O2 is well known to be less stable than acidic hydrogen peroxide (Ref.3) even in absence of light exposure, which accelerates its decomposition (which can involve radical pathways) liberating oxygen!

Ahoj. Vypadá holka fakt hezky. Buclatí všude kde může a nestačím se divit :)) taky začala extrémně krásně vonět. Jsem zvědavý na výsledek. Mějte se Growerz

Kvetinka rastie a naberá objem, prepinam do kvetu 12/12

Week7 D1 I think things have stabilized and we are back on track. Since I flushed and wont be able to utilize top amendments like I would like I am going to use TSP One Bloom Boost Liquid Nutrient for the remaining 2 weeks. Week7 D5 Blue dream is fading hopefully she is drawing in energy and going to swell soon. All girls are super frosty and sticky and dense. W7 D6 Seems early but blue dream is maturing quick and sin mins is beginning to fade. We are now in harvest watch!!!

still recovering from the nitrogen def will flip into flower next week still feeding ph 6.5 and 800-900ppm

Halbzeit in der Blütephase, und die Blue Lobster von Cipher Genetics zieht jetzt alle Register in Sachen Harzproduktion. Die Entwicklung auf den aktuellen Bildern ist absolut beeindruckend: Die Knospen schwellen spürbar an und werden bereits von einer dichten, glitzernden Schicht aus Trichomen überzogen, die sich wie feiner Frost über die Zuckerblätter legt. Nach dem Lollipopping am 21. Tag macht sich die gezielte Energieverteilung voll bemerkbar; die Pflanze steckt ihre gesamte Kraft ohne Umwege in die Ausbildung kompakter, harziger Blütencluster. Die Umstellung auf das Advanced Nutrients Programm läuft weiterhin perfekt, und das tiefe, vitale Grün der Blätter zeigt, dass der Nährstoffhaushalt nach den Korrekturen der Vegi-Phase nun absolut stabil im optimalen Bereich läuft. Ein extrem sauberes Bild, das definitiv Vorfreude auf die kommenden Wochen macht.

56 days!!!!! wow this week it really rained a lot, there were storms during which we had to bring the girl inside so that she wouldn't be broken by the strong wind:) but all that stopped, and the nice weather has already started:) The girl's flowers are starting to grow a little, which is very pleasing:) good luck to everyone:)

At day 22, the girls has cut their water consumption by over 60%. the strech is definitely over. The buds are now swelling. The terpenes are showing themselves.

day 1 - shes getting her sugar on the leafs now clearly and you can start to really notice her smell after just a few minutes of the tent being open. not too strong of a smell yet but there is still much time to improve, really happy with the bud developement so far!!! day 4 - trichome producktion is just kickin off since 1-2 days, love to smell her sweetness. stretch has come to a stop a few days also. day 6 - when i opened the tent today she was showing me her flowers big. there was a big diffrence visible for my eye from last open yesterday to today and i like it! the pistils on the main bud start to get orange color and the others also seem to get a few pistols with color totay!

This is why I say always check your garden. In just 3 short days she went BALLS OUT. Now I am down to four ladies, that will be plenty. 3 BBFC and 1 Nuke Heads Nuclear Scary Bubbles. I am not sure if it was Stress or Weak Genes, I did feminize these myself without any back crossing. Sometimes you just get a true Herm. no Nanners on this one just Balls to the wall man. that is an Accept Reference if you don't know it ok your just too young.

Saying around 3 weeks left untill I harvest the flowering tent under the mars hydro already got the next batch of phenos in veg stage around week 5 so I have plants to flower right away for you guys had my tent on 12/12 all year using natural sunlight to veg my plants and the mars hydro to flower them

🚀 Dutch Passion - Melonads Runtz 🚀 It’s been 80 days since planting, and she’s been flowering for 32 days now! During this time, she’s gained impressive volume, with her buds absolutely covered in trichomes — even the leaves around the buds sparkle like magic. We continue feeding her with Xpert Nutrients fertilizers, and the results are simply outstanding — the proof is in the plant! Every day, she gets more impressive and powerful, showing off the amazing potential of this strain. She looks stunning, and I can’t wait to see the final results! Big thanks to Dutch Passion and Xpert Nutrients for this amazing journey!

she is growing happy ... this week I will pass her directly to a 20 liter pot ...

Flipped to 12-12 at just under 7 week mark as I ran out of canopy space. Plants are growing beautifully no issues thus far. Began using compost tea as well as a mostly clover based cover crop. Rotating plants daily to get even growth of tops that might be crowded.

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing!
