Hallo meine Garten Freunde. Ich hoffe euch geht’s allen gut, leider kommen die Abschluss Berichte jetzt nach und nach, weil einige Strains ein bisschen länger brauchen als andere. Ich bin zufrieden mit diesem Grow wie er verlaufen ist, ich glaube der Ertrag hätte höher ausfallen können, aber das liegt nicht an der Sorte oder an dem Equipment. Es liegt meistens immer an dem Mensch was der draus macht, und da ich noch mein Optimum suche kann einiges gut oder schlecht verlaufen. Aber wie ich erwähnt habe bin ich zufrieden. Die Blüten haben sich zum Schluss richtig schön entwickelt und sind schön kompakt geworden, jetzt wo die Buds getrocknet sind, sind die auch Steinhart, wenn man die Buds auf eine Oberfläche fallen lässt hört man ein richtiges klock Geräusch. Das Blatt zu Blüten Verhältnis ist sehr gut. Diesen Strain würde ich wieder anbauen, dann aber nur mit einer Trainings Methode. Ich denke das war auch das Problem das ich die Pflanzen zu klein gehalten habe. Trotzdem haben die Ladys mir schöne dicke Buds geschenkt, es gab fast keine Popcorn Buds. Wenn ich eine Trainings Methode empfehlen würde dann Fimming oder Topping das haben alle sehr gut weggesteckt. Mit unter Düngung kommt sie gut zurecht aber nach einer Zeit zeigt sie dir was sie möchte. Das entlauben war auch kein Problem. Das einzige was sie nicht so gerne mag ist nasse Füße, aber auch davon erholen sich die Pflanzen relativ schnell wieder. Es ist eine sehr stabile Sorte, der man einiges abverlangen kann bis sie zickt. Da hat Royal Queen Seeds sich selber übertroffen und eine sehr robuste Sorte kreiert. Ein Riesen Respekt und ein Riesen Dankeschön für diese tolle Sorte und das ihr sie mit dem Rest der Welt teilt. Ein Riesen Dankeschön geht an James und RQS vielen Dank für die gute Zusammenarbeit und die Unterstützung.👍🏻✌️🏼 James sie machen eine tolle Arbeit Vielen Dank für alles machen sie weiter so und Royal Queen Seeds. Es werden in der nächsten Zeit noch ein paar schöne Tagebücher hier bei GD geben, ihr dürft alle gespannt sein. Ein großes Dankeschön geht auch an die Community von Growdiaries vielen Dank für eure Hilfe und Unterstützung, ihr seid die besten und das sage ich mit voller Überzeugung bleibt alle so wie ihr seit. Habt Spaß an dem was uns geschenkt wurde, nämlich eine großartige Pflanze die vielen Menschen auf dieser Welt helfen kann. Peace das war’s fürs erste bei diesem Tagebuch von mir bis dann. Wenn ich euer Interesse geweckt hab dann findet ihr hier diese tolle Sorte und noch viele andere mega Genetiken von Royal Queen Seeds. Dazu kommt noch ein fetter Rabatt von20% was will man mehr. Viel Spaß damit: GROWERS20 https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/ Nix verpassen und gleich hin.

Esta es la segunda semana cambiamos a bases de floración y las chicas se vienen comportante exelente ya han sexado todas y no hay machos :D. Peyote purple 2 parece que tiene alguna enfermedad? parece como si poco a poco sus hojas se consumieran solas, será intolerancia a los abonos? si alguien me pudiera ayudar estaría agradecido. Saludos y buena semana colegas

7 weeks in, and the girls are flowering nicely. Some are close to peak bloom and max feed levels (MBAP) and some have only just started to form the first small buds (PP). The 2 x MBAP and 2 x SOH seem to be the furthest along. Interesting that these are under the much more powerful 480w QB. I've no idea if there's any correlation between light intensity and the speed of an autoflower's life cycle, but all the plants I've grown under the QB seem to finish much quicker than those under the purple LEDs. Pink Panama first started showing small noticeable budding around day 45 (compared to SOH which started flowering around day 18), so I think she's gonna be one of the last to finish up. Check out the long, spindly fan leaves in the pic, the sativa is strong in this one. The mixture of different smells coming from these ladies is absolutely mouth watering. It's more like a taste than a smell!! The WW is reeking like lemon meringue pie. Not a sharp lemon smell, but real smooth and creamy. The BGS straight up smells like "Anglo Bubbly" brand bubblegum, if you know it. Super Orange Haze is certainly living up to it's name, giving off a sweet, cloying Sunny Delight type smell. But over the top off all those smells lurks the MBAP. Fuck me, this stuff stinks. Heavy and dank as hell, like some kind of swamp beast. It's quite menacing, leaves you wondering if it's safe to breathe it in :) I've had some feeding issues with the MBAP along the way, but it's knocking out some fat buds for sure. Nice long, bulky colas, which are probably going to need some support soon. The Walter White is also super impressive. She's been LST'd as much as space would allow, but the thing still looks so much like a damn Christmas tree that I want to put a star on top. Feeding levels of MC range from 5g a gallon up to 6.5g a gallon depending on the plant. Bud Explosion ranging from 1.5 to 2g a gallon. Have a great bank holiday everyone :)

So far so good. They are starting to fatten up really nicely. The plant which was a hermie develops seeds inside the buds as I can see, the other two look fine. Also the plants start to show a bit of color which I am really looking forward to.

welcome to Day 83 3/10/2021 the girl sure got super big but the buds still never got very fat. but still 400 Grams wet is good I estimate 80 grams dry there are more updates on the way as she dry's out and I get the real weight

Both S.A.D. are now also in pre-flowering. They are now starting to grow strongly in height. Everything is growing as I had imagined :-)

Plants are growing so fast , I would say pre flower , next week should be flowering , ran into mini bugs (maybe spiders) but I added more traps so stop them , also ran into mold this week but that may of been due to the humidity so I lowered humidity from 55 down to 45, excited with my first grows!

What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

Hello, fin de la semaine 7, et de la semaine 1 de floraison. Les plantes ont vraiment bien récupérées de la défoliation de la semaine dernière. Elles sont déjà pleines de nouvelles feuilles! C’est dingue.. un génétique vraiment solide. Pour le moment les plantes n’ont pas encore déclaré leur floraison, elles commence à stretcher je trouve, donc je suppose que c’est en bonne voie. J’ai légèrement baissé l’humidité, je suis à 50%, et je vais réduire progressivement les prochaines semaines. J’ai eu une très très légère brûlure du à un démarrage peu être trop rapide des engrais de Floraison mais sans grand dégâts. A retenir pour la prochaine fois. Voilà c’est à peu près tout pour cette semaine. Hâte de voir la floraison s’installer... Happy grow...😎

So I posted a video here as well as Instagram (@familytrees19) of my attempt at making my own automated feed. I got some tweets to do but so far looking great! So this week was great good growth and smelling nice!! I am most likely gonna flip these babies Monday or Tuesday. I can’t wait to see this light in action with flowering!! Oh Ye I had a quick power outage this Morning I had to redo all my timers and check to make sure they turned on at the proper time, all my tents but this one! This one has the AMAZING kind led k5 Wi-Fi xl1000 it went right back to schedule! I checked and it was like nothing happened! What a great light really plug in set it up and that’s it! Anyways hopefully next week I’ll have a video of my automated feed in 💯 working

Day 44 since flipping and this girl is getting close to finishing. No more feeding for her. Just some Cyco Supa Sticky today and next watering and water from there on out. Got about 75-80 percent cloudy. The sweet orange citrus smell is PHENOMENAL! Got about 2, maybe 3, weeks left and she'll be done. Had to tie up a couple branches because she's falling over from putting on weight! I love her!

Just keeping the LST and high frequency fertigation going like they talk about on cocoforcannabis.com. If you grow with coco you should check it out because there is much to learn even when you know some shit...for real tho. I have some cool mutations on one of my plants. One middle branch has 4 leafs coming out of 1 node which has 4 “blooms” coming out of where the leafs are sprouting. Also I have a branch that looks topped but it wasn’t so it’s a perfect Y with nodes at the branch and on top and another Y on the same plant on a main where it’s really thick but has two stems sprouting out of one which is right at the top of that branch. Anyway shits going really good with these bubblegum autos. I’m freaking impressed that you get 5 weeks of Veg out of them and that’s on all 3 plants. I thought I was seeing a stretch last week start and I was right for sure. Iv gained at least 3” in 7 days and my bigger ones probably more then 3 but I like to average. My shorty plant AKA Shorty WOP WOP 😂 is very different in structure from the other two which are themselves different but more similar. It’s actually a small,large, larger pheno situation which never happens for me. Idk the odds or total number of possible phenotypes but I got 1 of each of the good ones. Safe to say I’m happy and the pictures show why. Thanks for checking peeps.
