👋 Raising the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the growing medium to avoid over-immobilizing nitrogen, on the flip side, being careful not to trigger early autophagy. Moderate, controlled increases in sugar support the energetic demands of flowering and act as a signal trigger, but excess sugar is more likely to inhibit flowering or damage the plant. Balance, like everything else. Visually, when the chloryphyll green gets darker, it is a subtle indicator that the concentration of nitrogen is increasing / more is being stored than is being used. Noticed when you push very high intensity lighting, it slowly fades the green as the plant degrades chloryphyll faster than it can be replenished. When the green of the leaf continually gets darker, it is an indication that the concentration levels of nitrogen are increasing, and I dont want to increase light intensity. Slow down the release of the nitrogen. C:N ratio dictates the rate at which nitrification occurs, if at all. The Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio acts as a critical biological "on/off switch" (or regulator) for nitrogen turnover by determining whether microbes immobilize (consume/tie up) or mineralize (release) nitrogen during the breakdown of organic matter. This ratio regulates microbial activity by defining the balance between available energy (carbon) and building materials (nitrogen). The C:N ratio in a medium acts as a critical regulator of nitrification, effectively functioning as an "on/off" switch for the dominance of either autotrophic nitrifying bacteria or heterotrophic bacteria. The shade of green in chlorophyll is subtly linked to the enzyme Rubisco through a co-evolutionary, functional relationship designed to optimize photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light for energy, reflecting green light, a process that ensures the "light-dependent" reactions provide the correct, controlled amount of energy (ATP and NADPH) needed by Rubisco to perform its "light-independent" carbon fixation. Because Rubisco is a relatively inefficient and slow enzyme—often considered the bottleneck of photosynthesis—chlorophyll and the overall structure of the leaf have evolved to manage energy distribution to prevent overwhelming the Calvin cycle. While chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light, it is not perfectly efficient, and leaves appear green because some green light is reflected or transmitted. This reflection allows light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, preventing the surface chloroplasts from becoming overloaded and enabling a more efficient distribution of energy to the high volume of Rubisco located throughout the leaf's mesophyll. The rate of chlorophyll-driven electron transport (light reactions) is matched to the potential rate of carbon fixation (Rubisco activity). If Rubisco were faster, leaves might be darker; however, the "shade of green" represents a balance that prevents chlorophyll from producing more energy than the inefficient Rubisco can process. The green color itself is a byproduct of a photosynthetic system tailored to feed a slow, yet crucial, enzyme (Rubisco) just enough energy to maximize carbon assimilation without inducing excessive oxidative stress or inefficiency. The shade of green in leaves is directly linked to the concentration of chlorophyll, which is in turn strongly correlated with the amount of Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and, consequently, the rate of carbon fixation. Darker green leaves generally indicate a higher concentration of both chlorophyll and Rubisco, signifying greater capacity for photosynthesis. Increase demand for growth or reduce rate of release. I'm looking to keep that nice, healthy green.

Well well. In the end I've got 2 surprises. First - the mold in the main branch of the biggest plant.. The half of it was destroyed. The second surprise is the seed.. whoah.. Il see if it will grow. And meet my dog - Berny. She scares rick's portal gun. This year brought eough problems, so i can't say if ill grow, or even live next time, so please do not subscribe to my acc. Be cool in new year. Wish u all guys huge harvests and extremely strong buds. Also i wish to be enough healthy to try all this stuff.MC and a HNY

August 17th 2026 Mix Pack Auto RF3 This week has been average. Temperature highs around 79°F to 81°F and lows around 57°F to 66°F. Conditions were mostly clear, foggy at times in the early mornings, and generally dry with minimal precipitation. Humidity was average. Looking forward to smoking the small plant and getting pollen from the big (male) plant now. STS spray worked perfectly 👌. Temperature: 57°F - 81°F Humidity: 50% - 63% Daytime: 14 hr 11 minutes Tall: (A. 2 feet 5 inches ) (B. 1 foot ) Smell: yes Water: rain water and nutrients for flowering Plant A is a male finally. The pollen sacks are showing very excited to collect it ans start breeding. Ive sprayed it 4 time already was going to do one more bit not sure i think the STS silver thiosulfate spray worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend it put i pictures of the bottom. Plant B has about two more week before I chopper down. Not sure what strain it is yet but hopefully within this week or next week. Its smells really good. Lemme and bubblegumy and futiy. 😋 .

9/18: I harvested one of them. Washed and hung to dry. 9/21: I harvested a couple more. Washed and hung to dry. 9/23: I harvested the last one. Washed and hung to dry. 10/7: I smoked some. I liked it. 10/8: I smoked some more. I'm really glad I have almost 15 ounces of it.😋 a) 69g b) 79g c) 93g d) 84g e) 88g Final thoughts: Easy to grow and train. The two I did some training on produced the most. The buds are dense while growing and remain so after they've dried and started to cure. They redden up beautifully in the jar and have a very mild but sweet minty/flowery smell that comes through in the flavor as well. It's a very strong Sativa buzz which is surprising considering they were the fastest FFT's to finish...among mostly Indica varieties. Potency: 8/10 Yield: 8/10 Flavor: 8/10 Aroma: 8/10 Bag-appeal: 8/10 Trouble-free: 10/10 NOTE: I couldn't find the photos I took of the first one I harvested, but it was the smallest (and stinkiest) of the bunch.

Start of day 14 ... Oct 23 Check out the full grow video on latest weekly update Exceptional Growth thus far and each day ..... Decided to ponytail them today DAY 14 and 15 for 18hrs and will remove just before lights out.... Day 16 - 18 Leaf Tucking Day 19 begun LST , hopfully they don't run away on me.... Watering only when needed and adjusting lights when needed .... Rain Water Only !!!!! Can see the differences in Pheno types .... Loving it .....

went yo town again and lollipopped some more

A few of the autos have mostly milky trichomes but no amber yet. Maybe another two weeks.

LST, HST and defoliated second time, Fimmed main 1x, fimmed all tops 14 days later, fimmed all resulting tops 3 weeks later. well over 100 tops and counting, removed all tiny branches off the mains. pre loli.. lol Ill let em up in a few days. should be well beyond the 20" circumference of the 20 gal pots. Gonn a flower 2 in the space , and 2 in my newly acquired 48x48x80 tent. Shopping a few Flowering beasts to put in for the next phase. Love to get 2x https://opticledgrowlights.com/products/slim-720s-dimmable-led-grow-light-720w-triple-dimmer-3500k-uv-ir-lh351h-v2. Oh well, we will see. HAppy growing peeps!

Pure Ice cream clone is growing great. I will likely be getting her into flower in about 2 weeks. She is getting bushy and needs some major training soon. Thank you Pure Instinto Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

First of all a massive thanks to the guys at Ripper Seeds, and also GD for giving me these beans after placing top 10 in the Jan 18 Diary of the Month Comp ✌️👊 and thank you to all you guys that like/follow and comment each week, you all know it's always appreciated. When I run this girl again I'll be letting her grow bigger and thicker in structure before going into flower. She still turned out great, but with another week in the veg tent I know she would have yielded more, and would have stretched a bit more. Because I have 4 seperate plants/strains in one tent, under one light, I've had to calculate these by dividing the conditions by 4 (4 plants in total sharing same conditions). This is the fairest and only way to work it out on average as a full tent. Happy growing! 🐺

D22/V18 - 22/04/23 - Added water and himalayan salt D23/V19 - 23/04/23 - Nothing D24/V20 - 24/04/23 - Nothing D25/V21 - 25/04/23 - Benting D26/V22 - 26/04/23 - Benting D27/V23 - 27/04/23 - Benting D28/V24 - 28/04/23 - Benting

Getting close to switching her over to flower, she seems to be vegging well, fair few bud sites to watch develop, i also took some AG clones that are looking promising. The strain seems pretty hardy.

Gros Bud pleins de trich, encor 4 semaine de fleurs avant cut.

Day8: First day of the new week. I assume still pretty much focusing on roots, as the top didn't really do much today. Day9: Nothing special. But she's growing Day10: Still roots, it seems. Very little happening up top. Day11: Effort being put into growing the top leaves. They increased in size. I assume that the next node will start tomorrow - kicking off the switch into Veg. Day12: Next node already showing :D Day13: I put in a humidifier and changed the cycle of the extractor to keep more moisture in the growbox. My humidity was way too low. Day14: This time the humidity was too high. It was sitting at around 95% when the lights went on.
