10 weeks / 70 days old today. Buds are all a bit fatter and a bit frostier this week! They glisten in the light and and are well and truly coated. Noticed a few leaves with brown spots this week and after reading up I decided it could be a calcium deficiency. Gave a cal mag feed and monitored and no more brown spots have appeared. We’re pretty close to the finish line now so not sure I’ve done the right thing or whether I should just let it be. Few more old leaves at the bottom started to yellow so chopped them. Some trichomes are starting to turn milky but majority are still clear. Haven’t bothered with a picture because it’s so hard to get a clear one. Still taking up lots of water and giving 3ml of bloom nutrients in every water. Been reading lots about flushing and I’m not sure whether to do it. Read lots that say if it’s cured properly then there isn’t any difference to the taste. I think half the battle is knowing when to do it. How does a beginner know when you’ve got 2 weeks left?! Been tempted to chop off the popcorn buds and so glad I didn’t. I put some bulbs lower down to give them plenty of light and they’re fattening up pretty well. Bit worried again about the space issue. Lots of new pistils have sprouted and most are around the top buds. Read that it could be foxtailing due to light stress but could also just be buds fattening out and having a last try at pollinating 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows! Overall another exciting week getting closer to the finish. Booked our summer holiday for August and trying to decide whether to start a new grow when these finish. there’s a risk they might not be done in time but I’m desperate to try again and improve on this one. I have well and truly got the grow bug!!

I think it's a fantastic plant you can feel the og and terpenes of the blueberry it grows compact and vigorous even if the pot did not give it justice it was grown in a small pot in normal soil I am very satisfied I am waiting for the smoke

Amazing growth this week, they've just exploded. The training was worth it as they're growing evenly, except for a few branches that I need to get under control. I probably won't install a net just because I'm a little late and don't see the benefits in this stage. Next thing I'm going to do is some cleaning up, defoliation to get them perfect for flowering.

👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

- Day 62 and the 4 of the mephs are with some amber crystals already ( Stomper#1,#2 & GWK#1,#2), - Stomper #3 (D62) and SODK (D57) are a few weeks behind. - Stomper and GWK produced a light>medium bud structure (tap water only🚿) with full of crystals 💎 (pretty cool for an auto with little effort), not yielders (soil organic) thought but with buds to make diamond rings. - SODK looking more like a yielder from these 3 strains with more compact buds and indica structure. - Humidity a little higher than the optimum this week, except Stomper#3 & SODK we didn't water the plants too much and we had some dry periods in the medium. - Made a final defoliation before harvest (4), we will dry the buds in a dry machine (as the Root66 dairy 👀) and make the rest trimming before curing. 🔕 Smells were super stealth until now, no problem at all and the buds looking and smelling dense when touching and checking them. ⚠️ Next update --> next week with the first part of the meph harvest 🤯.

Farbe, Frost und Charakter. Mit jeder neuen Woche entwickelt diese Lemon Cherry Cookies ihren ganz eigenen Charakter. Während der Fokus in den vergangenen Wochen auf Wachstum und Struktur lag, dreht sich inzwischen alles um Qualität. Die Blüten werden dichter, schwerer und beginnen genau die Eigenschaften zu zeigen, auf die ich die ganze Zeit hingearbeitet habe. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Farbentwicklung. Zwischen den dicken Trichomschichten erscheinen immer mehr violette Akzente, die den Buds einen ganz besonderen Look verleihen. Zusammen mit den bereits nachdunkelnden Blütenstempeln entsteht ein wunderschönes Farbspiel, das sich wahrscheinlich in den kommenden Tagen noch weiter intensivieren wird. Auch die Harzproduktion hat noch einmal einen ordentlichen Sprung gemacht. Die Sugar Leaves glitzern inzwischen nahezu vollständig im Harz und die Buds fühlen sich optisch schon richtig klebrig an. Genau diese Entwicklung macht die letzten Wochen einer Autoflower immer so spannend. Das Training zahlt sich weiterhin aus. Trotz der kompakten Bauweise bekommen die einzelnen Blütenstände ausreichend Licht und Luft, wodurch sich nahezu jede Cola gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt langer, luftiger Triebe entstehen dichte und harzige Blüten über die gesamte Pflanze verteilt. Die größeren Fächerblätter beginnen langsam heller zu werden – ein typisches Zeichen dafür, dass die Lemon Cherry Cookies ihre gespeicherten Nährstoffe jetzt vollständig in die Blütenbildung investiert. Insgesamt wirkt sie dabei weiterhin gesund, stabil und voller Energie. Langsam nähert sich die Reise ihrem Höhepunkt. Die Colas legen weiter an Gewicht zu, die Harzschicht wird Woche für Woche dicker und die violetten Farbtöne verleihen der Pflanze inzwischen einen unverwechselbaren Charakter. Jetzt beginnt genau die Phase, auf die man als Grower monatelang hinarbeitet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Color, frost and personality. Every week this Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto reveals a little more of her unique personality. While the previous weeks were all about structure and flower development, the focus has now shifted completely toward quality. The buds are becoming denser, heavier and are finally showing the characteristics I've been waiting for. The color development is especially impressive. Deep purple shades are becoming more visible throughout the upper flowers, creating a beautiful contrast against the bright green foliage. Combined with the darkening pistils, the buds are starting to develop a truly eye-catching appearance that will likely become even more intense over the coming days. Resin production has taken another noticeable step forward. The sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes, giving the flowers that sticky, frosty appearance every grower loves to see. Each day the plant looks a little more covered in crystal. The training continues to pay off beautifully. Despite the naturally compact structure, light and airflow reach nearly every flowering site, allowing the side colas to mature evenly and produce dense, resin-rich flowers across the entire canopy. The larger fan leaves are slowly beginning to fade as the plant redirects its remaining stored nutrients toward flower production. It's a classic sign that she is entering the final stage while still maintaining excellent overall health and vigor. The finish line is getting closer now. Every passing day adds more density, more resin and even richer purple coloration. Watching this Lemon Cherry Cookies reach her full potential has become one of the highlights of this outdoor season, and I'm excited to see what these final weeks will bring.

Bonjour a tous je vous présente maintenant avec quoi je vais travaillé. mon terreaux: est préparé comme suis:40%humus de lombrics-40%light mix-20%coco. Pour ce qui est de l'engrais et boost ceci sont:stimulateur racinaire BIO ROOTS GHE- complexe croissance TNT HESI-complexe FLORAISON HESI- HESI BOOST- GREEN SENSATION PLAGRON. tout d'abord je n'ai pas plus opéré comme je voulais avec le mauvais temps de la 2eme semaine donc je n'ai pas mis d'engrais durant c'est 2 première semaine a cause de la pluie tombée mais le terreaux bien préparé fait l'affaire je commencerai l'engrais a partir de la semaine 3 et comme vous pouvez le voir je vien de commencer le pallissage. A ma façon !

Now after 7 years, I started to grow again. After that much time, still my family dosent like this job, so it has to be hidden cabin. When someone came in my room, it can be switch off immedietly. Abouts seeds, these are unknown seeds. Over a decade, ı collected a lot of seeds in Turkey. These seeds are minimum 7-8 years old and it was the pain in the ass the germinated process. I planted maybe 50 seeds and only a few popped out. This is the 3 living seeds and I'm planing to clone each female one, and I want to breed the mother plants with male plants only for 1 week for created new genetic. Lets see whats happen.
