Day 70 in soil 😁😁😁 I never thought I'd make it this far tbh! I stopped giving the ladies nutes and have just started feeding phed water, and they seem to have all really taken well to it, some last week showing signs of problems which I think was due to the last feed, minor flush and all seem to be okay I think. The smell now is very strong when the tents open a lovely fruity aroma, touching the buds leaves the hands covered and stinking of a fruity lemon/citrus smell (could live with the smell, unreal). The buds have all started to fatten up massively over the last 14 days, some plants producing some amazing colours, all plants have their own difference however all producing equally as good bud sits and growth. I have no past growing experience but im glad I went for dinafem critical 2.0 after some research prior they have been forgiving throughout my learning stages and have been easy maintenance so far! Will get a few close ups with the jewlers glass tomorrow, thinking off letting them run another 7 days until harvest what's everyone's opinions? Thanks for looking, have a great weekend :)!! *updated new photos today day 74 in soil*

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.

Getting closer! starting to see some milky trichs, i might have been off by a week or 2 on my prediction for time left lol but they have plumped up nicely!!! she is looking and smelling amazing. Looking like a healthy yeild from her too. took the c02 out about 5 days ago. I'm guessing around 5-7 days until harvest. absolutely love this strain so i'm stoked to have a nice resupply coming soon i'm gonna toss out a dried flower weight guess of hmmmmmmm 122 g

Ehi ragazzi scusate il ritardo! Qua sta andando tutto più che bene! Ho spostato la ragazza gelosa insieme alla sorella che è già matura e probabilemnte farò l ultima settimana di sviluppo per questa, ma penso che sarà l ultima settimana, ormai è più he matura, cime dense come roccie e giganti come macigni! Sta prendendo un bel colore viola intenso, gli odori sono di frutti tropicali molto agrumati! Un profilo terpenico davvero spettacolare per quello che posso odorare senza averla ancora provata! Complimenti a zamnesia che sta partacmente raggiungendo come qualità le migliori case di semi! Spero vi piaccia come si è sviluppata la bimba, di sicuro non vincerò mai il contest, ma non si sa mai, sperare è sempre una bella cosa per tutti avere l oppurtunita di dimostrare le proprie qualità con prodotti professionali come quelli di plagron! Ma tutto questo vi ricordo che è stato possible solo grazie alla collaborazione con Mars hydro, che mi sta fornendo le attrezzature necessarie per avere un prodotto di qualità così eccellente, in un paese repressivo nei confronti della cannabis come quello in cui mi trovo io.. Free weed for everyone! Buon 420 a tutti voi! 💪😸💜💗🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾🤞

This was a lovely strain to grow out, never have I seen a more purple strain. She did not like the full strength N but once I pulled back to 75% she was happy again. Everything else was smooth sailing and she competed well for light and space with the others crammed in the tent. Harvested on day 77.

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

Et voilà la fin les amies , toutes mes plantes on été flusch et apres 2 jours d obscurité elles vont être recolter (sauf la scherbet à qui il faudra encore quelque jours :) quel beauté et super plante pour débutant = presque pas de feuille, elle supporte les grand ec , et surtout la plante se développe super bien et pas besoin de tuteurs pour les branches . Voilà on se retrouve d ici 2..3 jours pour la recolte de toutes ces filles Pour le moment j en suis à = 340grames sec avec les plantes que j ai déjà couper et sécher . Je vais vous mettre se que chaque plante a donné en poids sec mais va falloir être patient j ai pas mal de travail avant sa encore ;)

Tag 50: Gegossen 15% Topfvolumen, Wasser PH 6.5 + 1ml/L CalMag + 1g/L Green House Feeding Bio Enhancer = 2..7L NL pro Topf, anschließend noch einige Blätter entfernt. Tag 51: Nur ein paar Triebe und große Blätter runter gebogen. Der Duft wird intensiver und die Pflanzen haben ordentlich Wachstum was Größe und Blattmasse angeht. Gestern habe ich 2 Cannatrol bestellt ich hoffe die kommen bis zur Ernte an. Tag 52: Gegossen heute aus Zeitmangel nur 1,7L NL pro Topf, Wasser PH 6.5 + 1ml/L CalMag. Tag 53: Heute alle Pflanzen in ruhe gelassen. Tag 54: Gegossen wieder nur 1,7L NL pro Topf, Wasser PH6.5 + 1ml/L CalMag. Tag 55: Es kam heute ein neues Flexi Tray von Nutriculture an 1.50m x 1.50m damit konnte ich mein zu kleines Tray ersetzen und alle Pflanzen haben wieder genug platz. Tag 56: Blütetag 20, alle Pflanzen haben heute ihr Lollipopping bekommen und wurden zusätzlich im oberen Teil ein wenig entlaubt, dazu habe ich noch einige LST Drähte umgesetzt. Anschließend wurden alle Töpfe mit 1.7L NL gegossen, Wasser PH 6.5 + 1ml/L CalMag. Eine ganz gute Woche das einzige was ich nicht komplett weg kriege ist der meiner Meinung nach durchgehend vorhandene CalMag Mangel, vllt liegt es auch an der BioBizz Erde beim nächsten Run werde ich definitiv eine andere benutzen.

Added another 1800w LED (pulls like 250w from the wall) to the 1800w one we already have. Provides a better even spread of light so they aren't all reaching for the middle and they can grow upwards towards the light instead. Raised average temps by a few degrees with still below 80 so its good. Ended up flooding the tent on accident when the water was left on and it drained our reservoir. The plants experienced some nutrient burn probably because of the 4 gallons of nutrient supplemented water they were flooded with. The time lapse will show the flood :P Refilled the reservoir with 5.8 pH'd water with no nutrients to help the nute burn. Did some defoliation and LST. Janice and Rachel were topped. Ended up accidentally snapping one of the lower branches on Monica and just propped it up and its healing well no issues. Have some great before and after pictures of some of the defoliation and growth on the plants. With the defoliation tons of new bud sights are growing well since the light can penetrate better and the addition of the new light helps too. The runt (Pheobe) is still.... runty. basically just gonna use the zkittlez to fill out some empty spaces that the sour grape kush doesn't fill. The sour grape kush is super bushy and is doing noticeably better.

DAY 1 The seed is in the cup. DAY 2 We have a little tale. I can't believe how fast is happening while submerged in water cup, from now on ill use this method only 🤣I have moved the seedling directly in to the coco. This will be it's first and final pot only 2 liters 70/30 coco/perlite. I'm still not that skillful to try with 1L or less pot, but micro growing looks fun for me. It's already day 3 and I can see the sprout. The boys from Fast Buds and their seeds are no joke. I chose this strain becose is basically the shortest in fast buds collection. The general idea for this run is to be quick. 75 days at its best and longest. I don't plan on fimming or topping the plant. Generally I don't plan even to train it, the only think I want from.this run is to to see how quick it can go in coco with athena and how quickly it will flower. we have a real seedling over here still hiding in the shell, but this one looks great in his little 2L pot. DAY 4 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C the shell fell off and now my little Papaya is getting direct hit by the grow light. DAY 5 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C EC 240 PPFD 220 My small papaya is doin grate. I started to add a little fertilizer in the water just to keep the cube charged a little bit. It's time to feed a little bit light so now the PPFD is around 200-220 and it will stay like that probably until veg. DAY 6 Room temperature 27-29 C RH 60-70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 So far my favorite plant this run. I'm really excited to see my micro run if it is successful. It will need a lot of care becose small pot means a lot of hand care, but this will be good for my connection with the plant. DAY 7 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 No watering today the coco is pretty wet so probably tomorrow morning. My micro is showing significantly nice grow for now i beleave it will be in veg until next week. DAY 8 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 Slow but steady. The small one looks happy, few more days and ill start Athena nutrients by their feeding chart. DAY 9 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 My little cowboy is doing grate it's still far from veg but I'm not in a hurry. DAY 10 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 60% RH night 55% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 A little bit of Cal mag is never too much, so I increase the feeding EC to 1.8 and probably from Monday I'll move to 3.0 with blended line. DAY 11 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Nothing more dan a good picture. Minor grow of leaves but nothing impressive for now. Not like I expected much, after all it's coco, it's not RDWC. DAY 12 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 300 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Strange but PAPAYA is going faster dan gorilla in coco. It's interesting race for me in the coco media. DAY 13 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 I have increased a little bit the cal-mag and I have added some Silica from one old xpert nutrition bottle left from previous run. I do believe soon this little champ will be in to veg. DAY 14 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 We are in the big boys club even a little early but anyway now we are directly under the new light 1500W GML TARANTULA VOYAGER. Nice shot of 400-450PPFD for 20h a day. DAY 15 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 All good we are almost in VEG. DAY 16 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 Welcome to veg, I'll not start week one veg today I'll start it in Sunday, bit obviously in less dan 10 days this flower is already in veg. I do like to count everi day from the seed but if we look rational its only day 10 days. And just like the gorilla, Papaya is showing amazing results in no time, it's just amazing. DAY 17 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 I started foliar feeding with Athena Stack. With or without my wish, tomorrow is going to be day 1 Veg. Amazing speed it's time to bring the real deal with Athena, let's see how blended works for Coco on their feeding program 1:1. I have pretty amazing time in germination and most importantly this genetic shows true power and obviously is pretty tolerant.

First upload on my grow diary about this little auto. I’ve started this experience twenty day after first seeds popped of another regular in the same box, now i know that’s wrong but... now 🤣 so other error was trasplant late and other not correct situations that i will explane in next updates about early life of it, this is the result at 7/9 weeks of life , a little frosty girl

Got 2304 into her final home in a 3 gallon pot, I used grow dots at 1 table per gallon of medium and made the bottom 3rd of the soil a little hot with fresh ocean Forrest soil, and purple cow non manure compost.. and moved her to my new ac infinity 3x3 tent... she's showing off a bit, I did some early training with garden staples however when she gets a little bigger I'll be replacing the staples for bamboo steaks and garden wire to stretch her out for maximum light penetration!
