I'm in southern Ontario. Spring is in the air! Humidity levels have risen with rainfall, and temperatures are rising outside and inside my tent. I have been leaving my tent door open during the day and semi-closed at night. Plants in tent do not yet smell and I have my air intake/carbon filter, by VIVOSUN, turned off. During the day my small clip-on fan circulates. At night I let her rest in the cooler air and turn the fan off. May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.

Even in the version worked with main lining and sent into flowering a little later, Zamnesia's Tangerine Dream remains one of the fastest plants to flower and is surprising because it is the most solid flower of all, it is a boulder, stone, pure marble. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and beautifully to preserve its speed and the classic Christmas tree shape in height. Below in this diary we have the Main lining plant. Description // This plant had a fast flowering like its sister left to go without techniques. The phenotype is practically identical, solid flower, excellent resin production even in the great heat, structure of the super thick ones that drive me crazy. The smell is always that of mandarin while it is peeled perfectly in line with that declared I imagine the magnificent taste. Why? I tasted the hash that remained on my gloves and I was going crazy. For citrus lovers who are a bit tired of the forced lemon scent. Trichomes and maturation // We looked carefully under the 10x microscope (and 10x x 1.6) and noticed a good percentage of milky/clumpy trichomes, still many transparent but also many golden amber. It is mainly sativa, but only 60/40, so guys, if we want to maintain a more sativa effect, we need to harvest with a majority of cloudy/milky trichomes if we want a more indica effect, remembering that THC oxidizes too much, amber is the right color. I use it during the day and therefore I look for a more sativa effect when the plant is sativa. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron range of organic nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the Pro Mix soil, unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage that best suits your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, I love its mandarin scent and its hard, potent flowers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Zamnesia Short Description // Whether you're new to the fascinating world of cannabis cultivation or an expert, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds will give you great satisfaction both in growing and smoking. Carefully selected from G13, Afghan and Neville's A5 Haze clones, this strain boasts a slight sativa dominance of 60% and offers a relaxing yet uplifting effect. Sheโ€™s also easy to grow and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growers. As weโ€™ve just seen, Tangerine Dream is a pleasure to grow, but sheโ€™s even more enjoyable to smoke. With 25% THC and a pungent blend of exotic terpenes, Tangerine Dream smells incredible, tastes delicious, and delivers a balanced, long-lasting effect. When you open a jar full of these dense, resinous buds, youโ€™ll be hit with a delicious citrus aroma reminiscent of freshly peeled mandarins and grapefruits. With hints of citrus, spice, and incense, each hit is a sensory delight reminiscent of sipping a refreshing juice on a sunny porch. Finally, as the effects kick in, youโ€™ll be treated to a long-lasting, balanced, positive cerebral buzz, followed by a gentle physical relaxation. Perfect for weekends away or social gatherings. Order your Tangerine Dream seeds today and grow this invigorating hybrid. The whole world of growing and much more is on Zamnesia: take a look at the site and you will find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

๐Ÿ˜˜.Hello My Friends.. ๐Ÿ˜˜ ๐Ÿ“ฐ ... March 4, 2021... ๐Ÿ“ฐ ๐ŸŒฟ Day Nยฐ31 ๐ŸŒฟ We are in the middle of the 5th week of growth for my three Feminized Amnesiac from Spliff Seeds..๐Ÿšฌ The plants are beautiful, after two weeks under my lamp @TSW2000 from Marshydro, they look so cute.๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ“ฐ March 2nd I transplanted my plants into 3.4 liter pots with All-Mix soil from Biobizz. I topped two Amnesiac and the third one is with LST. I could have done it sooner, but last week I was on vacation in the mountains.. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ I have a bit of experience with Topping, but the LST I never test. I hope I did everything well as it should and that the plant will react well.. ๐Ÿ˜ท ๐Ÿ’‰ Nutrients ๐Ÿ’‰ I incorporated 16 grams of Easy-Boost granules from Royal Queen Seeds into 3.4 litres of Biobizz All-Mix soil. ๐Ÿ”ฆ Light ๐Ÿ”ฆ I increased the power of my #MarshydroTsw2000 from 25% to 40%. ๐Ÿ› PEST ๐Ÿœ The treatment by the leaves of TEC FORT last week (1ml/l) worked very well, on 14 plants I saw only one thrips. On the blue stripes there is nothing..๐Ÿ’€ That's all for now my friends. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.. ๐Ÿ˜ท I wish you only happiness with your plants.. ๐ŸŒป ... ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ PEACE & LOVE ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ ...

114 Days left as of 11/6. Disclaimer: 56 days left to veg. Which ever plant is 3 ft or taller in 56 days will be flipped. In 1 week, I will be transplanting into 3 gallon containers that leaves 49 days. When there are 2 weeks left, I choose which ones go into the 5 gallon containers for flowering. After the transplant recovery, I do heavy defoliation and lollipopping. Wait 1 week to recover, and flip timeโ€ฆ..Which just so happens to be: New Years!!! This week ( and past few days) has been on target. I am seeing growth everyday I open the tent. I donโ€™t know why, but the first 2 weeks of my grows move super slow. Then in week 3-4, itโ€™s like a rocket ship. 11-11 (51 days left) - kicking some ass now. 2 of the RuntZ might make it, the Hulk-Berry is def going to make it pretty close to 3 ft tall. Hulkberry has 21 days to be transplanted, RuntZ will be transplanted in 14 days.

Day 36- soil was dry so watered with 1 gal of r.o and 2.5 ml cal mag I tested the runoff at 6.2ph and ppm right at 800 going to give a very light dose of fox farm nutes next water Day 37 and 38- soil still moist just filling humidifier and keeping temps around 78f rh between 45-50% Day 39- soil was dry watered with 1 gallon r.o with 2.5 ml cal mag 3.0ml big bloom and 2.0 ml of grow big and tiger bloom the runoff tested at 6.1 ph and almost 1800 ppm not sure if I should flush the plant now. Ended up flushing a total of 2.5 gallons of r.o until the ppm reached just under 1100 now just hoping I didnโ€™t burn her Day 40 and 41- soil still moist so just filling humidifier good news is she didnโ€™t nute burn but my overreaction flush did cause some very minor nute deficiencies on some lower leaves going to feed nutes tomorrow and this time not flush even if Ppm number is high

Flushed Critical Lemon with Flawless Finish and ph'ed water for about a week. Cut everything off the large stems and air dried/cured. Amnesia is looking ultra thicc and I started to flush those plants out. Skunk 47 looks like it needs at least another week before its flushed.

I think they are closer to done than I previously thought. All clear on trichomes though. Two more weeks?

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 07/12/2019 - Fed her 2l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off, also added a green filter to the camera lens. Adjusted the light distance to 55cm again it was toooo close about 32cm. 10/12/2019 - Decided to go back and check the basics, removed led strip to give a proper 'night' time, changing light cycle to 20/4h no more 'exotic' 22/2h, re-checked the light distance every 2 to 3 days to ensure 60-45cm and I can tell all ready she is loving it. Also added home made Co2 made with 1 tsp of yeast, 3/4 tsp of sugar 700ml of warm water in a 1l bottle with a tiny pin hole on the cap. 11/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off. 12/12/2019 - 8 weeks have passed and no flowers I guess I'm flipping to 1212h to see if she reacts.

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. My homework. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration.Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. โ€ขEnsure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. โ€ขMaintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35ยฐC/95Fยฐ in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. โ€ขOptimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. โ€ขManage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. โ€ขIncrease SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. โ€ขOptimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. Weโ€™re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of dรฉjร  vu. Dรฉjร  vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if weโ€™ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverseโ€”we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Come walk in the enchanted forest.

๐ŸŒธ OG Lemonade - Week 2 of Flowering ๐ŸŒธ Sheโ€™s officially in bloom! The first flowers are forming, and everything is going smoothly so far. Her structure is quite unique - she looks almost like a bonsai tree. Short and compact, but with huge leaves that make her stand out from the rest. This week, I gave her a low-EC watering to control nutrient levels since sheโ€™s looking very deep green. I prefer to see some lower leaves starting to fadeโ€”it reassures me that nutrient uptake is balanced. What really surprised me is the size difference compared to the other plants in the tent - most of them are twice her height! Still, I love how looks this beauty. ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ’š Grow Conditions (FLO Week 2): ๐ŸŒž Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒฑ PPFD: 700 ยตmol/mยฒ/s ๐Ÿ’ง VPD: ~1.2 kPa Letโ€™s see how she develops in the next weeks! ๐Ÿš€
