Well she keeps chugging right along and definitely got fatter with still a lot of white hairs and clear trichomes. She still feels fluffy to me so i’m Hoping she continues to add weight. I really don’t want her going past week 16 but she’s the boss around here. No feed this week. She’s still drinking A LOT which is a good sign. She’s got that 3 leaf mutation going on.

One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable. Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.

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.

Day 49 Flower development is clearly advancing, with buds getting noticeably denser and stacking nicely along the branches. Trichome production has increased significantly, giving the flowers a frosty appearance. Pistils are still mostly white, with a few beginning to darken, indicating mid-flower progression. The leaves remain healthy overall, with good color and no major signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress, Minor fading on some lower leaves is normal at this stage. The plant maintains strong structure and stability, and the canopy remains well managed inside the tent. Aroma is becoming stronger day by day, showing good genetic expression. Overall, the plant is healthy, on schedule, and showing great potential as flowering continues.

DE: In der achten Blütewoche erreicht Last Dance ein Stadium, das kaum noch in Worte zu fassen ist. Die Pflanzen wirken wie komplett überzogen von Kristallen, die Farben brechen durch, und die Terpene explodieren in einer Komplexität, die man nur bei echten High-End-Genetiken erlebt. Alles an diesen Pflanzen schreit: Finale – Premium – Elite. Phänotyp 1 – Der dunkle Funkgott Der Black-Magic-lastige Phäno läuft jetzt auf absolutem Endlevel. Die Sugar Leaves sind so dicht gefrostet, dass sie fast weiß erscheinen, während zwischen den Kelchen tiefe, dunkle Violett- und Schwarzgrün-Töne hervorkommen. Diese Farbkontraste wirken wie perfekt abgestimmt – als hätte die Genetik genau für diesen Moment designed worden. Die Buds sind jetzt maximal geschwollen: Die Kelche drücken sich übereinander, die Harzdrüsen stehen wie kleine Diamanten hervor, und die gesamte Textur wirkt dick, kompakt und schwer. Aromaentwicklung in Woche 8: Die Gassigkeit ist noch tiefer geworden, bekommt aber jetzt eine warme, dunkle Süße dazu. Noten von fermentierter Beere, altem Hash, tiefem Wald und schwerem Funk verschmelzen zu einem Terpenprofil, das wirklich nur Top-Tier-Phenos erreichen. Beim Anfassen bleiben dicke ölige Harzspuren an den Fingern – klassisches Zeichen für extrem hohe Harzproduktion und Potenz. Phänotyp 2 – Der saftige Zangria-Phantom Der fruchtigere Phäno blüht in Woche 8 optisch komplett auf. Die Pink- und Lilatöne sind jetzt viel deutlicher geworden und ziehen sich teilweise sogar in die Kelche hinein. Der Frost-Level ist so hoch, dass die Buds wirken, als wären sie von einer dünnen Glas-Schicht überzogen. Aroma in Woche 8: Das Terpenprofil ist inzwischen eine Symphonie aus: dunkler Traube, süßer Rotwein-Note, tropischen Früchten, frischer Kirsche und einer leichten Zitruswürze im Nachklang. Es ist nicht mehr „fruchtig“ – es ist komplex, schwer, dicht und riecht wie ein komplett eigener Signature-Terpenmix, der selten in dieser Form vorkommt. Beim Öffnen des Zelts mischt sich dieses Zangria-Bouquet mit dem dunklen Funk des ersten Phenos – ein absolut einzigartiges Erlebnis. Gesamteindruck Woche 8 – Der Höhepunkt vor dem Finale Jetzt in dieser Phase ist die Pflanze auf ihrem Zenit: - Buds komplett geschwollen - Farben brechen maximal durch - Trichome glasig-milchig, erste Amber-Punkte sichtbar - Aroma extrem komplex und deutlich intensiver - Harzanteil auf beeindruckendem Niveau – selbst Stängel sind sticky Die Pflanzen sehen aus wie Showcase-Material für eine Breeder-Website. Blick auf Woche 9 – Der perfekte Zeitpunkt zum Spülen In der kommenden 9. Blütewoche beginnt das Final Flush. EN: Week 8 – The Last Dance Showcase Phase By the eighth week of flowering, Last Dance enters a stage that’s almost impossible to capture with words. The plants look fully crystallized, the colors break through aggressively, and the terpene expression becomes so layered and complex that it feels like a signature masterpiece of high-end genetics. Everything about these plants says: Final stretch – premium – elite cut potential. Pheno 1 – The Dark Funk Titan This Black-Magic-leaning phenotype is now performing at absolute top-tier level. The sugar leaves are so heavily frosted they appear nearly white, while deep violet and dark forest-green tones push through the calyxes. The contrast is insane – almost cinematic – as if the strain was bred exactly for this late-flower moment. The buds are now at maximum swell: Calyxes stack aggressively, trichomes stand tall and dense like crystals, the entire flower mass looks heavy, tight, and fully matured. Aroma development in Week 8: The gassy core has become darker and richer, now wrapped in warm, heavy sweetness. Notes of fermented berry, old-school hashish, deep forest funk, and that unmistakable dark Black Magic spiciness fuse together into a terpene profile only elite phenos deliver. Touching the buds leaves thick, oily resin streaks on your fingers — a classic indicator of extremely high potency and mature resin glands. Pheno 2 – The Juicy Zangria Phantom The fruit-forward phenotype hits full visual bloom in Week 8. Pink and purple hues become more pronounced, bleeding slightly into the calyx tips. The frost level is so extreme the buds look like they’re coated in a thin sheet of glass. Aroma in Week 8: This terpene profile is now a full symphony of: dark grape, sweet red wine, tropical berry, fresh cherry, and a citrusy sparkle in the finish. It’s not “fruity” anymore — it’s deep, layered, complex, and genuinely rare in its structure. When you open the tent, the Zangria bouquet blends with the dark funk of Pheno 1, creating an aroma that feels completely unique and unmistakable. Overall Impression Week 8 – The Peak Before the Finale At this stage, the plant is on its absolute zenith: - Buds fully swollen - Colors breaking through in maximum intensity - Trichomes milky with scattered amber - Aroma dramatically intensified and highly complex - Resin production at showcase level — even stems feel sticky The flowers look like something straight from a breeder’s promotional photoshoot. Looking Ahead to Week 9 – The Final Flush In the upcoming 9th week, you begin the final flush. This stage ensures: a clean fade of excess nutrients, boosted terpene purity and clarity, smooth, clean-burning ash, and the highest possible quality for your final product. During the flush week, colors often deepen even further, buds harden up, and the aroma becomes sharper, more defined, and unmistakably finished.

Day 15 added grow. Feeding 1.5L per plant which gives a little run off. Pot drying out every 3/4 days and growing about an inch daily atm, big changes to come over the next 7-10 days really looking forward to seeing these grow taller. Day 20, all 3 plants now 9-10”. Expecting them all to double over the next week. More LST on all 3 plants and a feed of just over 1.5l which gives a small run off. No more voodoo juice or b52. Next feed I will introduce bloom along side grow. Very happy with the progress so far, no deficiency’s atm. So far so good

Сегодня решил немного освободить от листьев 3 растения чтоб свет лучше проникал, большие сильные растения не трогал, думаю их через недельку тоже буду подстригать... как видно 1 растения вообще не удачное, 2 средние, а вот дальние 3 выглядят хорошо и думаю дадут отличный урожай... еще 3 недели цветения так что я думаю увеличатся еще сильно в объеме.

Währ auch zu schön gewesen um wahr zu sein, dass alles glatt läuft 😌 Das Setup wird weiter und weiter an die Bedürfnisse der Pflanzen angfepasst und verfeinert. Der Luftbefeuchter ist jetzt nach draußen gewandert damit ich mehr Platz im Zelt Gewinne. Er läuft jetzt einfach dauerhaft auf Stufe 1-3, Statt nach Luftfeuchtigkeitsmessung. Ich habe die Gießmengen jetzt auf 500ml erhöht. Anfang der Woche noch mit 2ml Calmag pro Liter. Mit der MH App habe ich mir eine Art Tag-Nacht-Simulation gebastelt. PPFD liegt bei etwa 350-410. Am 18.03.2025, etwa mitte Woche 3, habe ich über der 4. Nodie die beide Fastbuds einem F.I.M.ing unterzogen. 😱 Ich bin mir nicht zu 100% sicher ob ich alles richtig gemacht habe. In meinem Kopf müsste es aber passen. 👉👈 Die 2 Tage nach dem Fiming verhalten sie sich trotzdem sehr gesund und machen einen fItten Eindruck. 💪 Gewachsen sind sie auch ein Stück. Ich bin mir nur nicht sicher was daraus jetzt erwächst 😵 Etwa zur gleichen Zeit verwandelte sich meine Bruce Banner in eine Zombie-Pflanze. 👽 Sie sieht aus als würde sie jeden Moment umkippen. Werder Tot noch lebendig. 💀 Dabei sah sich ein Paar Stunden zuvor noch recht Fitt aus. Keine Ahnung woran das liegt... 😟 In den 2 Tagem danach, wuchs sie nur minimal... besser als gar nichts... Ich werde sie weiterhin bis in die Blüte mitschleifen und gucken was passiert. 😒 Tja... Momentan ist dieser Grow eine einzige Wundertüte... 💩 Das stresst mich manchmal mehr als es sollte 😑 😅 Wünscht mir Glück 😇

Nothing really much to say this week. Everything is moving along smoothly. We’re in full on flower and I think the stretch has stopped. This quick flowering strain so I think it’ll be done by the end of the month
