Hola! Apliqué un poco de LST. Voy a seguir haciéndolo cada dos días como otro cultivador me ha dicho aquí. La planta se ve muy bien. Está comenzando a largar un poco más de olor, super agradable. Saludos!

Maybe I'll get my first 13-finger leaf. I've had 11 a few times, but I haven't seen a 13 yet. One day. Atlantis nutrient = Atlantis-Indoor-Ultimate-Minerals-Vitamins. Homebrew = Vitamins Vitamin A (retinol, retinoic acid): The body converts provitamin A carotenoids (orange/yellow pigments like chlorophyll), like beta-carotene, into vitamin A (retinol). B1 (thiamin): B2 (riboflavin): B3 (niacin): B5 (pantothenic acid): B6 (pyridoxine): B7 (biotin): B9 (folate): B12 (cobalamin): C (ascorbic acid) For the 6 hours of the night, there is full UVB 24/7 exposure for shits and giggles, although none of the 280nm reaching plant is Photosynthetically Active Radiation, I have been meaning to test this out for a while, UVA I tried last grow was still drifting Into PAR at 365nm on the tail end keeping light above levels of the moonlight. 0.1ppfd This time I try 280nm. *Not currently disrupting the plant's ability to detect the night cycle shift, with UVB left on at night, the plant is reacting to how I'd see it in complete darkness whereas the UVA last grow was clearly preventing plants from initiating the relaxed state I'd expect about 30 min before lights out, as if heliotropism was making them direct/dance towards each uva light individually making them look as if they were dancing in circles all night, figuring how close uva is to blue I'm not surprised. Cryptochromes are blue & ultraviolet-A photoreceptors. UVR8 is for UVB alone, UVR8 activates 10x more at 280nm than it does at 290nm. UV-B irradiation of baker’s yeast and mushrooms with high ergosterol content is used to enrich vitamin D2 content, making them alternative plant- and fungus-based vitamin D sources (2, 3, 5, 9, 37, 38). However, during UV-B irradiation and vitamin D2 synthesis, the photoproducts T2 and L2 are also generated (9, 27). The photoisomers tachysterol3 (T3) and lumisterol3 (L3) are also formed in human skin during the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D3, but their entry into the circulation is considered negligible (39). There are only a few studies addressing the absorption, metabolism or biological activity of photoisomers from food in mammals (6). In the scientific assessment conducted by the EFSA, tachysterol was not included in the product specification and safety due to the low concentrations of tachysterol in the consumable bread product which included UV-B-irradiated baker’s yeast (3). Notably, this study provides novel evidence that orally administered T2 can be absorbed and affect vitamin D metabolism in mice and potentially stimulates the synthesis of the phosphaturic hormone FGF23 in bone cells. Fibroblast growth factor 23 Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens Fibroblast growth factor 23 is a protein and member of the fibroblast growth factor family which participates in the regulation of phosphate in plasma and vitamin D metabolism. In humans it is encoded by the FGF23 gene. FGF-23 decreases reabsorption of phosphate in the kidney. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2022.948264/full Previtamin D2 then isomerizes into vitamin D2. Continued exposure to UV light can also produce lumisterol2 and tachysterol2. 20(OH)L3 is a metabolite of Lumisterol, a steroid compound in the vitamin D family. Lumisterol is produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet. Lumisterol2 (L2) is a photoproduct of UVB action on the fungal membrane sterol, ergosterol. Like vitamin D2, it is present in edible mushrooms, especially after UV irradiation. Lumisterol3 is similarly produced in human skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by UVB and can be converted to hydroxy-metabolites by CYP27A1 and CYP11A1. These products are biologically active on human cells with actions that include photoprotection and inhibition of proliferation. Tachysterol 2 (T2) is a photoisomer of pre-vitamin D2 found in foods exposed to UV-B radiation. It's structurally similar to vitamin D and may affect vitamin D metabolism. Stomata Opening As VPD increases, stomata get smaller. CO2 uptake As VPD increases and stomata get smaller, CO2 uptake gets reduced. As VPD increases, the plant transpires (evaporates from leaves) faster due to the larger difference in vapor pressures between the leaf and the air. As VPD increases, and transpiration increases, the roots pull in more nutrients. The plant is like one connected system of plumbing. As VPD increases, there are more forces acting on the plant – from the leaves to the roots – and the plant experiences more stress. Transpiration is the process by which plants release water into the atmosphere through their leaves. It's a passive process that cools plants and is a major part of the water cycle. Plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil through their roots , the water is transported through the plant's tissues to the leaves water evaporates from the leaves through tiny pores called stomata. Transpiration removes heat from the air and cools the plant, transpiration returns water to the atmosphere, which is a major part of the water cycle. The water that enters the roots contains nutrients that are vital for plant growth. Factors that affect transpiration Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the rate of transpiration Light intensity: Higher light intensity increases the rate of transpiration Wind speed: Higher wind speeds increase the rate of transpiration Humidity: Higher humidity decreases the rate of transpiration Carbon dioxide levels: Higher carbon dioxide levels decrease the rate of transpiration Evapotranspiration: The sum of transpiration and evaporation Stomatal transpiration: One of the three main types of transpiration Guttation is a process that occurs when plants take in too much water from the soil and can't evaporate it through their stomata. This causes water pressure to force sap out of the leaf's edges or tip, making it look like the leaf is wearing a tiara. Perspiration is the process of releasing sweat from sweat glands in the skin. It's also known as sweating. Plants "sweat" through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from plant leaves, cooling the plant and the surrounding. Respiration is the process of metabolizing sugars to produce energy, while transpiration is the process of releasing water vapor. Both processes occur in plants and involve the exchange of gases with the environment. Plants use respiration to create energy for growth, reproduction, and other life processes. During respiration, plants use oxygen and stored sugars to produce carbon dioxide and water. Plants respire through all parts of their body, including their roots, stems, and leaves. Transpiration is the process of releasing water vapor through the stomata of leaves. Transpiration helps dissipate the heat produced by plants through metabolic processes like photosynthesis and respiration. Transpiration adds water to the atmosphere. Stomata are small openings in the leaves of plants that allow for gas exchange and transpiration. Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata

This week went by quickly. They're doin their Pre-Flower stretch and getting big quickly!! I added my Pre-Flower mix to them this week. My Nutrient Pre-Flower Mix consists of H20, Coconut, Bananas, Pineapple, Sweet Potatoes, Kelp, Alfalfa Meal, All Organic Non-Pasturized Whole Milk, Epsom Salts, Black Strap Molasses, and L.A.B. or Lactic Acid Bacteria. First, I boiled the coconut, pineapple, sweet potatoes, the bananas, and left the skins on as well except the coconut of course! That I had to split in half and make sure to keep the water inside to add to the boil. After boiling everything I then let it cool and then added it to a blender to blend little by little. After blending I left separate and placed into the fridge. Then I took 1 Tbsp of Alfalfa Meal and 2 Tbsp of Kelp, 500mL of the milk, 2 Tbsp of Epsom Salts, and mixed them in a 750 mL bottle. Then I took 1L of the mix and added 2 Tbsp of L.A.B. and 2 Tbsp of Black Strap Molasses and then shook the bottle well! Then I took the 750mL bottle and the 1L bottle and fed that to the plants adding 250 mL of pH H2O to the plant as well to flush the ingredients all into the plant with the H20. I wanted to also note that I choose to slowly defoliate so that the plant doesn't go into shock and also fan leaves collect light in all spectrums so taking too many off at a time could hurt or slow the growth of your plant! The amount of light your plant takes in daily is called DLI or Daily Light Index. Overall, they're really growing and have a ton of us sites developing!

Watering Challenges: Due to high humidity, the soil took an entire week to dry out. Overwatering last week slowed water uptake but was mitigated by maintaining a higher nutrient level, preventing deficiencies. Nutrient Status: Signs of nutrient burn have not worsened. The plant is now showing early signs of hunger, with lighter zones forming on the leaves. Growth Observations: The plant responded well to topping, rapidly producing longer side branches. Growth remains vigorous, with a well-developed structure. Next Steps: Transplanting and watering are planned for early next week to support the plant's increasing nutrient demands. Summary: Week 4 revealed a learning curve in managing high humidity, but the plant's resilience and strong growth highlight its adaptability. Topping was highly effective, and the plant is thriving.

Day 95 GDP harvested and starting dry process. Day 95 for the Tropicana cookies purple auto and northern thunderfuck auto. Both looking great. Tropicana really starting to reek the whole tent out sweet funky arouma. Looks light it’s starting to fade out nitrogen as well 🤞 Northern is stacking up buds hopefully will continue fattening for a couple more weeks. Soil all the flower tents look very alive and healthy. Lots of wigglers thriving under the mulch layer.

This week they did more stretching as you can see the one on the left is into and above the light! I can't believe this but I'll role with it! I slowly defoliate just a little here and there between watering and filling the humidifiers. They really like to eat! Also, something to note that is they love the humidity as well as the warmth. I had to clean the outside of their grow bags this week. To my surprise the roots are starting to come out the bag! I can't believe it but this is awesome! Now they'll die due to contact with the air, and in return get bigger to take in even more nutrients! As predicted they fell off because their little pieces are on the floor. Well I fed and watered them daily. Like normal whenever I fed them either nutrients or soil amendments I made sure to water the plants with plain pH balanced H2O the next day in order to flush them. Then I would do any soil amendments if needed. After that plain pH balanced H20 and then you could do another fertilizer nutrient for them. After that pH balanced H20 and then you return to the soil amendments if needed.

1 2 3 Let's go 1st day in ground . Classic Music and chill 17 out of 18 seeds sprouted just fine, in the photo you can see that most of them have big tails. I marked the ugly duckling (the seed that opened but not completely) and will keep a special eye on it :) I sprayed it with water, next time I'll add root boost 17 из 18 семян проросли прям отлично, на фото видно что у большинства большие хвосты. Гадкого утенка ( семечка которая открылась но не полностью ) пометил и буду отдельно следить за ним :) опрыскал водой , следующий раз уже добавлю корневой буст

Unserer Lang Tall Sally geht es (scheint's) immer noch gut. Die Blüten wachsen, die Blätter sind nach wie vor schön gleichmäßig grün und das Terpen glänzt nur so zwischen den Blüten. Der Geruch ist längst nicht so intensiv wie ich befürchtet hatte. Mittlerweile habe ich die Kola des Haupttriebs mit zwei "Pflanzen-JoJos" stabilisiert, da sie der Pflanze zu schwer zu werden drohte. Erst hatte ich diesen Dingern nicht getraut aber sie halten die Pflanze gut, die trotzdem noch Spiel zum Tanzen hat. Ich wollte keinen Bambusstab o. Ä. in den Boden stecken, da ich befürchtete, ihre Wurzeln zu beschädigen. Sie muss ihre 1,75m in einem Topf versorgen und stabilisieren, der gerade mal 8 Liter Volumen hat. Da dürfte ihr jede Wurzel wichtig sein. ;-) Da die Tangerine Dream Auto eigentlich ein Schnell-Blüher sein soll, sind 12 Wochen schon recht lang. Aber ich habe trotzdem nicht den Eindruck, dass sie schon erntereif ist. Die Trichomen sehen doch noch überwiegend klar aus. Allerdings brauche ich auch eine bessere Lupe. ;-)

Onto the next week of flower. Going on a short trip away for 2 days from 17-19th, so the reservoirs will be full before we leave. Got back to more growth and had to raise the light up. Ladies looking great and getting big. We are a few days before lollipop so the tent is a bit humid but not bad. It will be easier to keep VPD at 1.2 after day 50 or so when some of that unneeded growth is out of there.
