Hey Growers, Day 1 of Week 10 Two ladys harvested today you can see in fotos how they look in my opinion Amazing Hahah (but im the father lol). Purple one its like a mix of exótic fruits The orange one its like a a cream of a fruit. Both seens very sweet!! Soon i Will share strains!! The another two ladys more sativas i think , looks like they need around more 10 days lets us see. The taller one smeels like gasy citrus, And the another one its a mix of strwaberry And another touch that I dont discover yet. Thank you all. Nice week 4 everybody!! _GrF_

So the cuttings are from my outdoor dos si dos 33. I took 4 cuttings. None have died yet and some are showing signs of growth 👍 I'm probably going to give them 14-21 days veg before flipping them into flower.

She's going stronger. Now she's in flower it looks like she'll be finishing veg smaller than hoped for but will still have good few bud sites. Been LSTingthe bigger fan leaves that are... were, blocking prime bud sights. A good heavy water with molasses today too... 29/11... Lucky girl! And a little bit of LSTing today 30/11 Day 38?

"Mens Dei" What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day to scavenge ROS made from photosynthesis. The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank it. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " A leaf can perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis simultaneously. During daylight hours, plant cells utilize both processes: photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen, and cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for the cell's needs. The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used as reactants in cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) can be used in photosynthesis. The limiting factor is the oxidative capacity; the less a leaf is utilizing photosynthesis, the less oxidative capacity it uses, and the more it can perform cellular respiration. Even if a leaf is not in an optimal photosynthetic position, it can still utilize respiration to its full capacity during daylight hours. Kinda too much info to explain when some asks if they should defoliate or not, yeah add calmag or some shit. BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs*

She's steadied out on the stretch for now She has taken her own weight throughout, a nice feed of silicon gave her the boost she needed.

Everything is running smoothly. Nothing really to report on. I added a second trellis for support and I switched from feeding every 4th day, to every 3rd day.

A temperatura está bastante alta, estou ligando as luzes à noite e desligando durante o dia, mesmo assim a temperatura média está em 31 graus. Fiz aplicação de magnésio na White widow #2 mas ela não mostra sinais de estar se recuperando. As C99xBB estão perfeitamente adaptadas a temperatura alta e estão se desenvolvendo muito bem, as duas são bastante parecidas e estão começando a liberar um aroma idêntico ao da pitomba (uma fruta tropical) e também sinto um cheiro muito presente e pitanga.

Esta sería la semana 5 de floración y no la 4 ya que no pudimos subir la semana anterior. Seguimos avanzando una semana más en la que van engordando poco a poco sacando buenos colores y buenos tricomas. Saludos!!

Over all i am extremely impressed with the Alibaba lights i ordered. These 800w draw from the wall have beat a previous record of mine that i had with 1000w HPS ran at a boost setting of 1100w draw from the wall. The outcome dry was actually 1.87p

End of week. They hungry. Gonna get some compost tea slop with solids as mulch, light full blast 24 inches, these girls don't look happy. Not gonna give up on them, I've not been around alot. Funeral. RIP Paw. If they don't straighten up I may feed them from a bottle. Organic tea maybe help some. I feel as tired and bad as these girls. Lol. Still got hope in the outcome.....🤷‍♂️ I'll show the good and bad of my grows. Should've greened them up for you all to look at. Lol. You will always see what I see, no filters etc. They actually swelling and stacking up nice besides their color they don't look to awfully bad. Just not sure what to do or if I'll have the time , probably 3 weeks give or take a week or 2. Happy growing all. ✌️🙏🙏. WEEK 8 NOW I KNOW WHY THEY YELLOWED. HAPPY FROG SOIL TOP DRESS AND TEA. Doing great untill I topdressed. Never thought about the happy frog soil. Put a new seed into a new solo with NEW happy frog. Noticed water droplets was going in directions water doesn't flow. Up down sideways. Watch the vid. Pics. The autos may make it to finish, flowers are ok so far and almost done. But I have 2 cherry pie s1 testers and a Bubblegum OG that I got to keep healthy. Rosemary untill I can get some sulfur. Wish me luck and DONT TRUST HAPPY FROG. VID AND PICS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. UGGGGG ANOTHER FEW DAYS.... After the compost tea they seem to be frosting nice and coloring /fading pretty. We will see the final outcome within a week maybe two.

June 14th update Clone#1 Got chopped last week had balls Clone#2 22 inches growing really well. Much like number 4 in terms of verticals growth but significantly less width. Might be good for people who have less square footage but taller tents Clone#3 18 inches. Short and squat. Interesting structure giving what this plant should be. I bet this one will yield small but interested to see how she progresses/smokes Clone#4 28 inches. Massive vertical growth and side branches are trying to take up the whole tent. Will see how it flowers but its body is preparing for a lot of weight. I expect this one to yield huge General Update 3 remaining females growing very nicely. I’ve never actually seen a cannabis plant that looks like this, seems straight out of the early propaganda but I guess it is a land race. Aside from flipping to 12/12 I’ve also turned on the red leds which will help once flowers start forming. I’m going to continue to give just water at this point. I expect the plants to stretch like crazy giving they are pure sativas but we will see especially with the squat one. I’m also going to be putting in some thin sticks to help support the side branching, if I don’t do this once she starts flowering it will start tipping over Mothers/father plants don’t look too happy. That defoliation I did last week did a number on them. I am seeing new growth so they will all recover. Next weekend I’m moving them into slightly larger pots with newer soil too make them happy. God bless June 19th update Put in a ton of supports before we get too deep into flower. God bless

Ph was way too low the last 2 weeks but ignored it, since super soil. A few plants are very not happy about it So I drained the reservoire and cleaned everything out and PH'd the water to 6.8 with some sodium bicarbonate 🤞

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta y última semana de crecimiento de estas Pink Sunset feminizadas de silentseeds. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 16h de luz, el foco está al 50% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color, aplique de manera foliar el tetra 9 ahora cara a la floración. Agradecer Agrobeta por el envío de un kit para la temporada, son unos jefes. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

02/18/2020 Look at those fat leaves, definitely does well in cool temps, ruderalis / indica genes. I can't wait to see her sativa wild side.🙏 turned bloom channel to 100% so blue and red spectrum at 100% full spectrum ir and uv included. Will do more pics latter this week. 02/19/2020 Day #21 and I think that she likes the red spectrum she just looks bigger than yesterday I think she got 2weeks of veg cycle, hope to top midweek,and LST.(if she got her 4th node,that is) Ps. Sorry about the red looking pics, I will get some in natural light soon as I can.🙏could not get in natural light but mh light looks good.

Welcome I was wrong to defoliate in the fifth week, the same week I sent them to bloom Finally begin to bloom, after a week at 12/12 where unfortunately they have vegetated again 😅

Stopped using chemical nutrients and will only be using Gaia Green power bloom to top dress the soil for the remainder of the grow. This plant will most likely be a monster. Im sure it will yield a lot.
