Esto ya va cogiendo forma. Un aroma muy agradable choca en mi cara cada vez que abro el armario. Está empezando a resinar muy bien, aunque tengo la sensación de que aún puedo mejorar mucho en esta parte de la floración. El clima lo he tenido controlado sin complicaciones. Estos últimos días he tenido que activar el deshumidificador porque había mucha humedad fuera. Espero la próxima semana vaya engordando esas flores. A seguir cuidándolas cómo se merecen 💪

Following RQS auto guide : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83 WEEK 4: LATE VEGETATIVE PHASE #22 5.4.- #28 11.4. #22 5.4. -Beginning of week VEG #4, flowering will most likely start during this week, so this VEG week might end up short, will see -Added 1,75liters of clean water to plants, readjusted few LST, and noticed my "wire" is almost too thin to keep plants in place, have to take way longer pieces from now on and properly push em in to ground -Took some new close-ups, thought i saw few new pistils but after checking the photos, id say they are still all in VEG phase -Metered Luxes with my new meter, it showd 'bout the same ratings as the LUX meter phone app, so i would say if you need to measure your luxes, 30euros meter works just as fine as an app on your phone (depens on the phone surely) -Oh, as stated in grow tecniques selected for this week, i will continue LST, i FIMmed (maybe) the purplematic #2 earlier (in base cam the one on the right), and i will possibly do some minor defoliation later this week. #23 6.4. -Did nothing but remote monitoring -Added daily pics and updated weekly timelapse -Updated/Reorganized also pictures from earlier weeks. #24 7.4. -Water with nutes -Removed all LST to give a few days of upwards growth #25 8.4. -Watered 1,5liters with nutes and 3liters without nutes. -Planning on increasing the waterings to reach the recommended ½liter/24hours (now at 0,48l/24h on this week) -Also there were some drooping going on, so its best to start going towards that 1liter/24hours meaning ill be using 'bout 3x 1,5liters a day, damn all the carrying :D (https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83) -Biggest plants felt rough/dry, and also soil looked like it could use a proper amount of water all around the pot. -Removed few fan leaves from strsklr and prlmtc#1 from bottom #26 9.4. -Just remotemonitoring -on ydays check up, didn't notice any pistils, so maybe its then next week when they start to act up -still need to get em to grow about 50% more height before ill resume LST -because sides of the pots are so high (had a too small amount of soil) i need more height so that i will be able to ScrOG when time comes. -Might take out few leaves tomorrow again when watering, trying to get the lollipopped scrog -look #27 10.4. -Watered 1,5liters clean water -Re-LST:d plants -Spotted pistils, will still change from VEG to FLO not now nor tomorrow but then monday, to continue with the weekly rythm of mo-su in diary. also Solomatic didn't show pistils yet. -Added plenty of new photos, and a grow-question 'bout the leaves in StressKiller -Took few bottom fanleaves from strskllr and prplmtic #1 #28 11.4. -Just remotemonitoring

Week 6 Hi everyone 😀 So far this little grow it's a pure joy for me. No major issues. One of the girls aka "Nuna" it's a bit late in flowering. She was bit shy from the start and last week defoliation definitely did not helped her but I'm sure she will catch to others. All 3 looking very healthy and growth is still very fast. Still waiting for better flower development before apply any of the flowering nutrients. I have try this several times years back and results on yield were much better if flowering nutrients are applied later in flowering stage. Hopefully it works the same with autoflowers 🤞 Have a great week eweryone I will keep updating this week progress every couple of days. Thanks for stopping by Peace ✌️ 28/08 Day 36 Changed watering time schedule for the morning to keep humidity at night a bit lower level. During the 18h schedule humidity 50-55 at night up to 68. 30/08 Day 38 So far all good. Girls are growing still in rapid speed. I can tell this girl likes grow big leaves. I have just defoliate from the big ones just over a week ago and again back to the forest :) 31/08 Day 39 This morning soil was way too dry and need to poured almost 1 liter to each pot. From tomorrow 500-600ml per 24h. 02/09 Day 41 2 of the girls developing flowers very well and still growing in rapid speed. Noticed that 3rd girl having issues to switch to flowering. Noticed some nutrients deficiency on 3 leaves. Using spring water for watering and must be to soft on calcium and magnesium. Have little hope that calmag will have this sorted. Started blooming nutrients + fish shit from today 03/09 Day 42 It's seems that slow develop girl started flowering :) not sure but possibly new nutrients and lowered humidity helped. Did some defoliation from bigger leaves on 2 better developed girls. It's the end of the week 6 Stay tuned for more updates on following week. Peace ✌️

Off to the races after the first week of veg. And the girls are looking good. They had about 24-48 hours of transplant shock but have since turned over and look perky. They never fully transitioned and all of em look like they’re turning back around. Definitely starting to see some pheno variation on one of the indicas (F6) - trademark from the Skywalker 100%. A light bluish/purpleish hue on the fan leaves. We’ll see what happens over the next week then probably just pick a day and flip. We don’t need em huge - just big enough to show off dem buds. On the hardware side of this grow, the mods to the dutchy system look to be working well. It just makes plant management easier with a full trough drain as opposed to individual drainage holes. Really, the system isn’t a concern for the most part. It’s proven time and time again how manageable a recirc system can truly be. Scaling down to smaller pots and more plants has also been a revelation of sorts around here. We used to grow monsters and now the aim is strictly proportional yields across a wider array of genetics. Been a great trip so far🤟. Couple more boring weeks of veg. And as soon as the breeding tent is cleaned up and pollen free - it’s go for blast-off👍. Background This cycle of clones represents all the potential of this F1 line of WalkerBerry OG. Bred by myself over the last couple of years. This genetic shows excellent hybrid vigour, incredibly stable nutrition requirements to date and an eclectic mix of long and short internodal spacing bu specimen. We know we have indica and sativa dominant traits spread evenly across the 6 available clones. Now it’s just a matter of seeing them run out under controlled and pollen free conditions. We’ve labelled each plant and it’s resulting seed accordingly. Once we get to the F2 run, we’ll hopefully be able to isolate down to 2-3 phenos if the bud is any good. From there, who knows. It’d be great to get to a finished, stable generation that would be fem worthy but that could be a very long way off. For now - we’ll focus on this line and see where it goes🤞🤞.

Brutal genetic! Just like that BRUTAL. Tons of resin, super strong woody pimey smell, very beautiful strain to grow, beautiful indica leafs, I know that this is one of those indicas that once you smoke that dense smoke you won't be able to get up from the couch, very strong genetic, I'm so fortunate to have this lady in my garden man! Definitely want to grow her again next season and make a big nice bush.peace!✌️🙏❤️🌱👨‍🌾

This is the third monday. The girls still look healthy, I gave blooming nutrients for the first time as the schedule suggested. The Attack of Gnats: Inside the tent there is a huge fan, which was unstable, if I tilted it too much, so I put a 20litre soil bag (with some cheap shitty soil for decorative flowers) at the base of it to make it solid. As the tent started to warm up, the soil was warm ask well. After a couple of days some gnats mysteriously appeared in the tent. First there were only two, but now there is a whole army. I bought a "special" trap for them, it came in a pear shaped plastic dispenser with some sort of "killer liquid" that will eliminate the enemy. As soon as I opened the little container with the liquid my first idea was to smell it. Surprisingly the smell was familiar, and I smelled it before in salads. I asked my girlfriend, and she immediately told me, that this killer liquid is nothing more than Apple Cider Vinegar. I searched google, and I found out, that you can make very effective gnat trap at home by using apple cider vinegar, sugar, and dish soap... This costs you almost nothing, because you can find everything at home. Learning every day.... :) Now there are only a few more gnats left, but I will kill them in the following days. 🙏 Namaste

Feed is based in 15 liters of water per time and they all took 17 litres each apart from lil was 5 litres Good morning you'll lovely canna fam hope alls well and you all.had great fireworks 🎆 weekend get this 1st year we dnt buy and wen we do we do 😉😏🤭 and we alsywas see toms and say should jus sat out side and watched so didnt but theus years and no fk### done any well minimal at least 🤦🤣. Anyway day 40 from seed and week 4 in dwc and here is the jungle now I thought I was in week 6 week 5 veg but wasn't but for 2 weeks I been doing selective defoliateation and tbey been coming vack crazy for autos thers strong

The girls are finishing strong 💪 Smells are incredible, frost is frosty… the colours are amazing, lots of deep red, purples ❤️ I’m watching daily now, looking with my wireless hand held microscope , it makes it pretty easy to determine when I want to harvest. Typically I wait for 10-15 % amber, but I think I will try to harvest this with mostly cloudy. I’ve learned that he plant will continue the process, even after the plant has been cut down. No nutes this week, and the plant has been continuing to use up its leftovers. My PPM runoff has been very low after watering, right where I want to be, doing this method in the past has allowed me to to keep nutrients going for them, and not have to cut off in week 6 or later. Just a gradual tapering, until I am able to run straight phd water for at least 2-4 feeds before harvest. They are very close and will be coming down within the next 7 days

I’ll start by saying I’m NOT using both bud blood and bud ignitor in one solution, I am using bud blood on the rear tropicanna poison plant and bud ignitor on the front one to test the outcome of them individually to see the best results! I tied down and defoliated twice in the week and have switched to 12-12 yesterday so they’re transitioning now and should be in bloom by week 7! I made some extract them made some gummies successfully I might add and added the photos in the diary!

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdVmdoKJ5k In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. Think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, your RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level you set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches desired% RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always be releasing more water into the air, so the RH% of the tent overnight will always increase, so long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential which will work wonders on your grow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.
