Day 71: Hope everything's going well for you. Unfortunately, it's still way too hot here. The outside temperature is 29°C, so it's pretty similar inside the tent. I do have a portable air conditioner, but it would have to run constantly, and that's too expensive for me. That's why I’ve increased the humidity a bit. Otherwise, they look healthy and the buds are getting bigger. I removed two leaves from the Tropical Marker that seemed a bit burned — at least that's what I suspect. Day 74: Today, like every two days, the ladies were watered again with 2 liters of water mixed with fertilizer and Cal-Mag. The girls are looking beautiful. The Tropical Marker is very frosty, but the Purple Kush is also getting frostier. Today, I wedged a board with a hole for the exhaust fan into my window. I hope the room will get a bit cooler now. Additionally, I temporarily hung the lamp’s power supply outside the tent. Day 75: Today, for once, I didn't do anything. Thanks to the new exhaust outlet, the temperature in the tent is actually 5 degrees Celsius lower. The VPD is now back at 1.6. Yesterday, I lowered the exhaust from 80% to 50% to better maintain the 60% humidity, which is working well now. The buds continue to grow, the girls look beautiful, and the smell is getting stronger. Day 76: Today the ladies got 2 liters of water again, this time without any fertilizer. The buds are getting bigger and the girls are looking wonderful. Other than that, I had a little chat with them and then left them in peace again.

Thank you. Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, I'm keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. One study found that acute, high-dose UV-B had a greater effect on genome stability than chronic, low-dose exposure. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function.

Началась 5 неделя роста. Судя по состоянию растения, оно начинает переходить в стадию предцвета.😊 Обильно набирает зелёную массу. 💪 Продолжаю пригибать вырывающиеся вверх ветви.👇 Подключил ещё 60 ватт света.😺 Поднял лампу повыше. 👆 На улице стоит жара.😎 Температура поднимается до 33 градусов по Цельсию.😕

Die ACB XL stellt langsam das Höhenwachstum ein und beginnt mit der verstärkten Blütenausprägung. Ansonsten wurden nur ein paar der ganz großen Fächerblätter entfernt um möglichst viel Licht an die Blüten kommen zu lassen. Ob der Bananenschalensud funktioniert wird sich zeigen, bisher jedoch sieht es ganz gut aus. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch und noch eine schöne Grow-Woche! --- The ACB XL slowly stops growing in height and begins to produce more flowers. Apart from that, only a few of the very large fan leaves have been removed to allow as much light as possible to reach the flowers. It remains to be seen whether the banana peel decoction will work, but so far it looks quite good. Many thanks for your visit and have a great grow week!

Toped her. I'm going to mainline her 03.04.2025 I toped the right branch and did a heavy defoliation to slow down grow so that the left branch can get as tall as the right 04.04.2025 I toped the right branch and bend it down

Off to another great start, with feeding can’t wait to see what adventures these girls will test my learning knowledge in this hobby I’m enjoying!!

🌿 Grow 🤝 Freunde 🌱 15. Blütetag | DWC-Grow-Update Hallo Growfreunde, heute gibt's wieder ein Update aus meinem ersten DWC Grow – wir sind jetzt am 15. Tag der Blüte ! Die Pflanzen machen weiterhin einen richtig starken Eindruck: Das Blattwerk ist satt und vital, das Wachstum stabil und die ersten Blütenansätze sind schon zu erkennen. Die Höhe passt, die Verzweigung gefällt mir sehr und der Gesamteindruck ist einfach top – genau so hatte ich es mir vorgestellt! Dank optimalem Klima und der Farmlite-Beleuchtung gibt es keine Ausfälle, alle Lady's entwickeln sich gleichmäßig und zeigen ein schönes, kräftiges Grün. Für meinen ersten DWC-Versuch bin ich wirklich zufrieden – das System läuft wie geplant, Wurzelmasse und Blütendichte weiter zu. Jetzt bin ich gespannt, wie sich das Aroma und die Buds Woche für Woche weiterentwickeln.

No pictures would download... I tried... videos did ❔❔❔❔ I'm confused 😔 .. I fed her some nutes. And hose water❗she is starting to look 👀good... She is starting to smell bad ,and alot.... She is 7'4" tall now ... 6 ' + wide ( her cage is , she is sticking through it ) 4' thick Basic flower news from General Hydro Along with some floralicious plus , Diamond nectar , Cal Mag , flora nectar, florabloom, and a little kool bloom...❗❗❗❗😎

03.04. Day 64 Flower 40 Hallo Leute seid mir willkommen zu : GRAPE APE F1 die einem beim Riechen zum Niesen bringt. Es kribbelt wie Zitronensäure. Die muss sauer sein. Es gibt immer mehr Lila, auf jeder Traubenaffen F1 die so ca 2 Wochen in Blüte ist. Schick. Die Pflanzen an sich bleiben klein, kein Wachstum. Die Knospen schon 😍. Sie Pludern sich auf, strecken sich und werden bestimmt hart sein. Das habe ich nicht getestet, ich will ihre Entwicklung nicht stören. ❤️ Ich liebe Cannabis zu growen. Das macht so viel Spaß ( wenn es klappt ). Ich bin zwar Großmeister, und meine Knospen sind herrlich, aber meine Pflanzen sehen immer sehr mitgenommen aus. Hüstel(geheucheltes Husten, nur wegen der Dramatik) Wenn ich das kann, kannst du das auch. Es ist legal in Deutschland 3 Pflanzen zu haben. Ich würde sagen Grape Ape auf dem Balkon geht voll klar. Gute Erde dazu. Dünger wäre toll, ist aber kein muss. Die Nachbarn kriegen das auf jeden Fall nicht über den Geruch mit . 1. Dezent 2. Weintrauben 3. Klein Nur so als Gedanke. Ich freue mich jedenfalls über ihr Aussehen ( für mich, nicht schlecht ), und diesen Geruch. So Sauer+Trauben+weed. Ich glaube das ist ne richtige Hardcore INDICA. 😳 Steht ja auch so in der Beschreibung.... 👍 04.04. das 65. Die erste Knospe ist wirklich fertig! 😳😍 Wow , das hätte ich nicht gedacht. Komplett milchig, die Hauptknospe. Mit Licht Gehampel, day 65 ab Keimung, 💪 stark. Natürlich, wer mich kennt, es gibt noch ein Paar Tage. 2 Gründe, mehr Gewicht, und ich hätte gerne ein wenig Amber Trichs. Aber sie riecht geil, ihre Knospen sind fest und klebrig. Ja, und dann kommen ja noch ihre F1 Schwestern. ? Also Wahnsinn. So Schnell. 07.04. dieses eine Blatt hat so krasse Farben. Leuchtend Radioaktiv. Was wird das für weed? So, genau ab jetzt hat sie mich. Die Grape Ape F1. Diese Farben sind 😍. Hat zwar etwas gedauert bis ich fan wurde, wegen wo ist sie denn ( sehr klein, die gröste bisher 47 cm. ) . Aber als sie die Farben änderte, und der Geruch dazu kam fand ich die Interessant. Ist wichtig, denn ich mag Cannabis als Pflanze sehr, da schnell und schön. Und im besten Fall, BUNT. Wie diese hier. Und ich bin gespannt welche Farben die anderen bekommen. Die sind zwar alle ähnlich, aber im Charakter unterschiedlich. Also, ich sage es gleich. Viel kommt da nicht runter. Wie denn auch, ist sehr klein. 21% THC Indica Style. Das geht nur mit kleinen Pflanzen. Indicas sind halt klein. Und schlagen hart zu. Wie Zwerge. Ich liebe Zwerge ( es sei denn ihr habt eine Audienz bei Hochlord von irgendwo. Ich glaube Zwerge sehen nur einmal in ihrem Leben Wasser. Bei der Geburt.👍 Leute ihr müsst die untern Tisch saufen. Nen Zwerg, das ist hart, dann könnt ihr in Baden, wenn er besinnungslos ist. ) Nur so als Tip.

14 day dry | Curing in Grove bags, filled 7 QP bags & got 56g of keif out the trim bin from only 2 plants! More pictures coming! STAY FROSTY GROWMIES

Still no Amber trichomes. Very last feed today.

DAY 49: seeing harvests from other grows of these strains, I wonder why am still going strong on the bud building ?. They are more than happy to carry on further at this point it seems with only a small covering of browning pistils on the FFT#1 showing out. She isn't the fattest buddies yet but hopefully this week will finish her off nicely. FFT#5 is very nice looking now and has so.e.beautiful sized colas across her wide span. She is very hemmed in by the others around her but has easily managed to push some serious buds to the canopy top to create so e rock solid, sweet smelling buds. She is feeding g a hell of a pot on the water now with approx 10L per 2 days. Hungry girl. FFT#7 Is still the biggest sister here and now with very nice packed out colas at every point I look. I will be very surprised if she isn't the highest yield of the whole run. It is a great strain to work with and watch grow. The smell off her as with the others is a fruity hit and rushes out of the tent when i open up. I think another week at least to find her sweet spot for harvest.

hey guys so another week has passed all beasting along got a few high temp days coming and still a week or so for air con unit . But girls seem be loving the heats even when getting up to 30degree . Done a little deflowation clean up the under , ordered some epsom salts and mollasses a few days ago to assist in flower , still only r/o water and calmax then ph seem to be way forward and my soil mix is defo doing wonders . Til next week family 😉😀

Not much to say, keep growing.

This is the start of week 5 ! Looking like i going to top Obi#1 soon shes getting a big thick canopy on her and shes's doing great ! Obi#2 is catching up slowly but surely she's going to be a big beautiful lady as well !! Things are going well in the lab not to many prolblems I fixed the humididy to above 50 % now so we are rocking and rolling ! <3 Thanks for showing me some love ladies and gents makes me feel appreciated for what I do . Stay tuned and remember to check my diaries daily !!!! -Happy Growing!

This week I defoliated. Waited three weeks into flowering, to not stress them like I did last grow. She is rewarding me with some fat bud growth at many sites. I overwatered beginning of this week, but hey seemed to have taken it well. I did another amendment. The first one last week was a test, to see how they responded, they took it well. Just compare last week to this one. The amendment I did: - 5 liters of worm castings - 2 cups bonemeal - 1 cup wood ash - 1 cup microlife I layered this on top of my pots, covering this with bio-coco (pre fertilized) to ward of gnats. The gnats have been getting less and less. They don't like the coco that much, while humidity is just the same and last week higher since I did some more watering. I watered with the perma tea. While this is pretty acidic (PH 5), I can amend with more wood-ash, if you don't and follow this recipe, don't do too much wood-ash since it will kill off your micro organisms. I lowered the light diagonally since the outer right plant is longer and closer to it. The SP 3000 is still performing as you can see. Temps were a bit higher with the lights so low, so far the Orange Hill Special doesn't seem to mind. Im totally amazed with the results so far. Look for the great end of year deals at www.mars-hydro.com. Thank you for checking in on me again! Hug Bud

Repotting them at day 24 to a 1 gallon (3,7l) Root Pouch. Gave them a little bit(2/3ish of the recommended amount) of GHE Tripart(Grow,Flora,Micro) hydrophonic nutrients and plants seemed to like it, growth of the roots was super fast and overall healthy looking plants.
