So, this is my first grow, just starting out. After NJ passed recreational weed, I was like you know what... Went on an amazon spending spree and got some seeds from cropkingseeds and this is it! I let the seeds soak for 18hr in deer park spring water w/ 1 drop of Organic Liquid Seaweed and Kelp Fertilizer Supplement by Bloom City. At the end of soakage, it didn't look like any had cracked maybe one did not so sure. So I did up the papertowels according to the video and have to say I feel a little nervous/anxious that there is too much water/weight on the seeds and feer drownage. I'm going to keep it on there though. I check the towels a few times throughout the day and am surprised they're very moist throughout the day and next morning still somewhat damp. 24 hours in the towels I check my babies and one had cracked but the rest were still sealed up tight, unwilling to share the goodness that we all so desire, cmon babies crack that shell for papa! 11/12 looked like 1 seed popped, yay! I remoistened towels a bit but didn't wanna soak them. I also put some rapid rooters in water to soak overnight gunna throw the seeds in them in AM... I was going to do it tonight but figured I should wait see if some pop out more. 11/13 OMG upon checking seeds at 07:10 I found the papertowels like bone dry OMG WTF!!! Panic sets in but I just set up the little terrarium with 6 plugs and put the seeds in and tore some plugs off bottom of a plug to cover seedhole with. 11/14 Got a sprout! YES!! The plugs look nice and moist just going to let it go! 11/15 Woke up this mornin, saw a new sprout peeking thru and then another about to! I got ansy and took off the little top plugs and found all the sprouts were coming up! Leaving the top plug off, hopefully thats not a bad idea.

D16 : So far, the weather is really cloudy for the month of June and the plants stretched due to the lack of light. Since this is their final pots I decided to add a bit of soil around the stem to stabilize them. So far, it works pretty well. To test their stability, I've tried to blow on the plant before and after and the difference was clear! The weather was bad this week but knowing that, the plants grew pretty well. Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 60-70% Temperature range : 18-21°C SUN Average : cloudy Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Apricot : 12 cm Gorilla Punch : 10 cm Orange Sherbet : 10 cm Pound Cake : 12.5 cm

Get out the way she’s about to blow 💢💣💥 it’s been a hot week this week I’ve had to dim the lights a bit a take the drivers out the tent to cool it down a bit. Might be a good thing she seem to be fading a little so hopefully diming the lights will slow down the rate she’s using nutes. I fed the worms some banana within a couple of days the turned it into fresh casting she seems to have started her swell too. Until next week let’s get it 💪🏽

Day 45 for this beautiful lady. She’s very impressive. I’m happy with how she’s turning out. Fast buds really knocked this one out of the park. Can’t wait to watch her swell and bulk. She isn’t too stinky yet can’t wait to find out what she will smell like. She’s big and bushy which is awesome because she was just a little baby I wasn’t sure about her potential but boy oh boy she’s grown up.

Beginning of week 2 of flower. Another defoliation/ lollipopping done. The cookies surprise me... she's a sativa with vigorous growth with a short internodal space and a bushy structure, but I think she can perform even better.

The first grow this summer was the finest i have ever produced however, the shit got moldy and i could have prevented that had i known hi heat and humidity makes it happen. You never think it will happen to you untill it does. Critical purple and gorilla glue just beautiful buds 100% worthless. So i got the 2 barneys farm seeds from a neighbor and i believe i let these 2 down. I just finished a heavy watering harvest and forgot these young ones werent drinking the way the last ones were so i over watered and maybe theres some nute lock out going on. I thought of just digging them out and examining the roots and possibly some attempt at root surgery but these are freaky deaky autoflowers and nobody can predict what these fuckers may or may not do. So, if its 80 and 50% humidity or less, they go in the yard if the sun is out. At night i check for bugs and critters and put them back in the 3x3 with the marshydro tsw2000 which is about 400 watts for a sleepless night of fake sun then repeat to death do us part! I hope i dont bring some shit into my tent from outside. I had a bad nightmare or more of a dillusion that i saw a shrew running across the silver floor. Being perpetually stoned will make you fuck up the whole grow. I have to admit i had 5 different strains in jars, labeled, dated notes etc..plus i can always look back here to see what i did but i took some from each and put a bit of each into a bag and wrote on them with marker the details. I was going to gift them to the guy who gave me the seeds to check it out and give me an honest opinion. Havent heard a word from the guy but whatever. Bottom line, i mixed up the lids that had the notes and mixed them all together by accident somehow. I have enough left to survive another harvest so at least i got that going for me and some seeds hopefully on there way. Excited about new seeds. I have enough decent lights to put my self in a good spot but need 2 more tents though i have a closet grow area set up that i hate to say does as good as good a job with no tent. Plus i sort of like the comforting light leaking out from the edges of the tarp i havec covering the opening and the whir of the fans. I have been growing 24/7 light schedule on auto flowers for 3 years now and it has never been a problem. Only thing i have to focus on is the 1000 different things you need to pay constant attention to and i have a serious problem with drying/curing. Everything ends up not smelling awesome at all. I keep 50% humidity and 70 degrees and adjust as they dry as different strains and grows just dry differently and thats it so there is no exact science but a pretty good outline to follow. However after watching video 2500 and looking more importantly at other grows right here, i believe the fact that i have been drying for 4 years in a closet with stagnent air and absolutley no ventilation at all. Thats the only thing i can think of thats seperating me from a green blazer with gold buttons. So whenever these 2 bitches decide to treat me better, i will be xtra attentive to the dry. esp with ventilation and of course i have discovered a new chemicle that i think i absolutley need. its called terpinator and im hoping that will give ne that 5 star bag apeal everybody wants. meantime, i have plenty of this shit that doesnt smell much, though its definatley weed when you smell it burn and its all mixed together and its a pretty trippy high though i cheat for some variety on occasion and hit the dispencary but the quality just isnt there anymore. I dont know if it ever was. I was getting much better weed that was home grown hydro bud and the shit was 250 for a freaking quarter ounce! 250! Top shelf best shit ever though. Thats my freaking goal in life. I have to clean the freaking bathroom as my moms comming over and she walks right past the weed and goes straight to the freaking bathroom and makes all sorts of claims about a 50 year old man who grows weed and keeps house like a 15 year old. Thing is, you really need to keep the environment as clean as possible and i just thought of something horrible. The bags i have waiting for the new seeds are all mixed up and i have no idea which ones had the moldy buds in them. Ill ask a grow question but nobody will know for sure and the safest bet will be to sterilize the tent after i finish up my Barneys Farm abortion, which may still turn out some decent buds, the fuckers refuse to die!!!!! and buy new grow bags and just start over to be safe. Or can i bring them to a laundrymat and wash and dry them? Ill ask.

Lacewings seemed to have mostly killed themselves by flying into hot light fixtures. I may have left the UV on which was smart of me :) Done very little to combat if anything but make a sea of carcasses, on the bright side its good nutrition for the soil. Made a concoction of ethanol 70%, equal parts water, and cayenne pepper with a couple of squirts of dish soap. Took around an hour of good scrubbing the entire canopy. Worked a lot more effectively and way cheaper. Scorched earth right now, but it seems to have wiped them out almost entirely very pleased. Attempted a "Fudge I Missed" for the topping. So just time to wait and see how it goes. Question? If I attached a plant to two separate pots but it was connected by rootzone, one has a pH of 7.5 ish the other has 4.5. Would the Intelligence of the plant able to dictate each pot separately to uptake the nutrients best suited to pH or would it still try to draw nitrogen from a pot with a pH where nitrogen struggles to uptake? Food for stoner thought experiments! Another was on my mind. What happens when a plant gets too much light? Well, it burns and curls up leaves. That's the heat radiation, let's remove excess heat, now what? I've always read it's just bad, or not good, but when I look for an explanation on a deeper level it's just bad and you shouldn't do it. So I did. How much can a cannabis plant absorb, 40 moles in a day, ok I'll give it 60 moles. 80 nothing bad ever happened. The answer, finally. Oh great........more questions........ Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules capable of independent existence, containing at least one oxygen atom and one or more unpaired electrons. "Sunlight is the essential source of energy for most photosynthetic organisms, yet sunlight in excess of the organism’s photosynthetic capacity can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to cellular damage. To avoid damage, plants respond to high light (HL) by activating photophysical pathways that safely convert excess energy to heat, which is known as nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) (Rochaix, 2014). While NPQ allows for healthy growth, it also limits the overall photosynthetic efficiency under many conditions. If NPQ were optimized for biomass, yields would improve dramatically, potentially by up to 30% (Kromdijk et al., 2016; Zhu et al., 2010). However, critical information to guide optimization is still lacking, including the molecular origin of NPQ and the mechanism of regulation." What I found most interesting was research pointing out that pH is linked to this defense mechanism. The organism can better facilitate "quenching" when oversaturated with light in a low pH. Now I Know during photosynthesis plants naturally produce exudates (chemicals that are secreted through their roots). Do they have the ability to alter pH themselves using these excretions? Or is that done by the beneficial bacteria? If I can prevent reactive oxygen species from causing damage by "too much light". The extra water needed to keep this level of burn cooled though, I must learn to crawl before I can run. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signaling molecules that enable cells to rapidly respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS plays a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals, and activation of stress-response networks, thus contributing to the establishment of defense mechanisms and plant resilience. Recent advances in the study of ROS signaling in plants include the identification of ROS receptors and key regulatory hubs that connect ROS signaling with other important stress-response signal transduction pathways and hormones, as well as new roles for ROS in organelle-to-organelle and cell-to-cell signaling. Our understanding of how ROS are regulated in cells by balancing production, scavenging, and transport has also increased. In this Review, we discuss these promising developments and how they might be used to increase plant resilience to environmental stress. Temperature stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that adversely affect agricultural productivity worldwide. Temperatures beyond a plant's physiological optimum can trigger significant physiological and biochemical perturbations, reducing plant growth and tolerance to stress. Improving a plant's tolerance to these temperature fluctuations requires a deep understanding of its responses to environmental change. To adapt to temperature fluctuations, plants tailor their acclimatory signal transduction events, specifically, cellular redox state, that are governed by plant hormones, reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulatory systems, and other molecular components. The role of ROS in plants as important signaling molecules during stress acclimation has recently been established. Here, hormone-triggered ROS produced by NADPH oxidases, feedback regulation, and integrated signaling events during temperature stress activate stress-response pathways and induce acclimation or defense mechanisms. At the other extreme, excess ROS accumulation, following temperature-induced oxidative stress, can have negative consequences on plant growth and stress acclimation. The excessive ROS is regulated by the ROS scavenging system, which subsequently promotes plant tolerance. All these signaling events, including crosstalk between hormones and ROS, modify the plant's transcriptomic, metabolomic, and biochemical states and promote plant acclimation, tolerance, and survival. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the ROS, hormones, and their joint role in shaping a plant's responses to high and low temperatures, and we conclude by outlining hormone/ROS-regulated plant-responsive strategies for developing stress-tolerant crops to combat temperature changes. Onward upward for now. Next! Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-carrying molecule known as "the energy currency of life" or "the fuel of life," because it's the universal energy source for all living cells.1 Every living organism consists of cells that rely on ATP for their energy needs. ATP is made by converting the food we eat into energy. It's an essential building block for all life forms. Without ATP, cells wouldn't have the fuel or power to perform functions necessary to stay alive, and they would eventually die. All forms of life rely on ATP to do the things they must do to survive.2 ATP is made of a nitrogen base (adenine) and a sugar molecule (ribose), which create adenosine, plus three phosphate molecules. If adenosine only has one phosphate molecule, it’s called adenosine monophosphate (AMP). If it has two phosphates, it’s called adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Although adenosine is a fundamental part of ATP, when it comes to providing energy to a cell and fueling cellular processes, the phosphate molecules are what really matter. The most energy-loaded composition for adenosine is ATP, which has three phosphates.3 ATP was first discovered in the 1920s. In 1929, Karl Lohmann—a German chemist studying muscle contractions—isolated what we now call adenosine triphosphate in a laboratory. At the time, Lohmann called ATP by a different name. It wasn't until a decade later, in 1939, that Nobel Prize–-winner Fritz Lipmann established that ATP is the universal carrier of energy in all living cells and coined the term "energy-rich phosphate bonds."45 Lipmann focused on phosphate bonds as the key to ATP being the universal energy source for all living cells, because adenosine triphosphate releases energy when one of its three phosphate bonds breaks off to form ADP. ATP is a high-energy molecule with three phosphate bonds; ADP is low-energy with only two phosphate bonds. The Twos and Threes of ATP and ADP Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) when one of its three phosphate molecules breaks free and releases energy (“tri” means “three,” while “di” means “two”). Conversely, ADP becomes ATP when a phosphate molecule is added. As part of an ongoing energy cycle, ADP is constantly recycled back into ATP.3 Much like a rechargeable battery with a fluctuating state of charge, ATP represents a fully charged battery, and ADP represents a "low-power mode." Every time a fully charged ATP molecule loses a phosphate bond, it becomes ADP; energy is released via the process of ATP becoming ADP. On the flip side, when a phosphate bond is added, ADP becomes ATP. When ADP becomes ATP, what was previously a low-charged energy adenosine molecule (ADP) becomes fully charged ATP. This energy-creation and energy-depletion cycle happens time and time again, much like your smartphone battery can be recharged countless times during its lifespan. The human body uses molecules held in the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates we eat or drink as sources of energy to make ATP. This happens through a process called hydrolysis . After food is digested, it's synthesized into glucose, which is a form of sugar. Glucose is the main source of fuel that our cells' mitochondria use to convert caloric energy from food into ATP, which is an energy form that can be used by cells. ATP is made via a process called cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Mitochondria are tiny subunits within a cell that specialize in extracting energy from the foods we eat and converting it into ATP. Mitochondria can convert glucose into ATP via two different types of cellular respiration: Aerobic (with oxygen) Anaerobic (without oxygen) Aerobic cellular respiration transforms glucose into ATP in a three-step process, as follows: Step 1: Glycolysis Step 2: The Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle) Step 3: Electron transport chain During glycolysis, glucose (i.e., sugar) from food sources is broken down into pyruvate molecules. This is followed by the Krebs cycle, which is an aerobic process that uses oxygen to finish breaking down sugar and harnesses energy into electron carriers that fuel the synthesis of ATP. Lastly, the electron transport chain (ETC) pumps positively charged protons that drive ATP production throughout the mitochondria’s inner membrane.2 ATP can also be produced without oxygen (i.e., anaerobic), which is something plants, algae, and some bacteria do by converting the energy held in sunlight into energy that can be used by a cell via photosynthesis. Anaerobic exercise means that your body is working out "without oxygen." Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in human cells when there isn't enough oxygen available during an anaerobic workout. If no oxygen is present during cellular respiration, pyruvate can't enter the Krebs cycle and is oxidized into lactic acid. In the absence of oxygen, lactic acid fermentation makes ATP anaerobically. The burning sensation you feel in your muscles when you're huffing and puffing during anaerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that maxes out your aerobic capacity or during a strenuous weight-lifting workout is lactic acid, which is used to make ATP via anaerobic glycolysis. During aerobic exercise, mitochondria have enough oxygen to make ATP aerobically. However, when you're out of breath and your cells don’t have enough oxygen to perform cellular respiration aerobically, the process can still happen anaerobically, but it creates a temporary burning sensation in your skeletal muscles. Why ATP Is So Important? ATP is essential for life and makes it possible for us to do the things we do. Without ATP, cells wouldn't be able to use the energy held in food to fuel cellular processes, and an organism couldn't stay alive. As a real-world example, when a car runs out of gas and is parked on the side of the road, the only thing that will make the car drivable again is putting some gasoline back in the tank. For all living cells, ATP is like the gas in a car's fuel tank. Without ATP, cells wouldn't have a source of usable energy, and the organism would die. Eating a well-balanced diet and staying hydrated should give your body all the resources it needs to produce plenty of ATP. Although some athletes may slightly improve their performance by taking supplements or ergonomic aids designed to increase ATP production, it's debatable that oral adenosine triphosphate supplementation actually increases energy. An average cell in the human body uses about 10 million ATP molecules per second and can recycle all of its ATP in less than a minute. Over 24 hours, the human body turns over its weight in ATP. You can last weeks without food. You can last days without water. You can last minutes without oxygen. You can last 16 seconds at most without ATP. Food amounts to one-third of ATP production within the human body.

Really easy grow, I just followed the manufactures instructions on lights and fertilizer. I did give the Finale a miss to see if I didn't get fox tailing, I didnt so i'll give it a miss when its hot and see the results. I'm trying the short diary format as I was spending more time filling it in some weeks than looking after my plants but I still like the record to look back on.

26.09.21. У Халка очередная неделя прошла отлично, начал растягивать боковые ветви, в дальнейшем будет Top макцшки или Fim подрезка, не решил. На выходе показывает небольшое завышение ppm и снижение ph, что говорит о том, что девчонка перевела и надо бы полить водичкой с минимальным количеством удобрения. Всем удачи, жду в гости, пишите комментарии друзья, лайк это здорово, но мнение человека неоценимо👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🌱 28.09.21 немного потренировал Халкушу, главный стебель как из железа, толстый и не тянется, через пару дней топну макушку. 30.09.21 мне очень нравится развитие Халка, потенциал у растения очень серьёзный, о чем говорит размеры листьев и толщина ствола.
