๐Ÿ“† Week 1, 6-12 May 2024 6 May - 3rd sprout appeared. Waiting for main root to appear before transferring. 8 May - Main root appeared on the 1st sprout, transferred to its permanent home (see pictures). 9-12 May - Observed and watched the seedling grow. ๐Ÿ“‘ Transferred seedling into permanent Deep Water Culture, 2 gallon system. Iโ€™ve always had the best response when the main tap root appears prior to this process, it helps to ensure success. This plant seems to be getting off to a slower start, but steady. All seeds germinated, sprouted and became seedlings. Iโ€™ll be finding homes for the other 2 as my grows are limited by space and number. Another reason I like to only germinate a single seed at a time and primarily why it needs be viable. โ€œOne good seed is all you needโ€. ๐Ÿถ 8 May initial nutrient solution started ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ 8 May initial feeding schedule started ๐Ÿ’ง Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 ๐Ÿ‰ Nutrient solution EC 1.0 at 72 degrees F ๐Ÿ”† Light power at 50%, DLI 12-15 canopy coverage at 18hrs ๐Ÿ˜ค Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Hello Growers and Tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower Nice progress with these ladies, I honestly did expect them to stretch this much. They were pretty heavy on leaves so I did a bit of cleaning of big fan leaves and bottom useless growth.. I admit, went a bit too far with one of them. Should've left a few more fan leaves behind.. ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜“ Other than that, things are looking good. Bud sites are more visible, sure hope they keep growing out. Stopped adding grow nutrients, only bloom now. That's it for this week hope you're enjoying this progress like I am. Have a good one! One love!

Topped the girls on the outside branches to encourage some more growth in the middle, I think this may have stunned them a little bit. Ive also noticed some issues with some of the top leaves. Pictures will show. Im watering 5l per plant every other day with ph at 5.7-5.9.

Day 66 -Watered each plant with 8 cups of pH balanced water. Plant #1 will be harvested after the next watering. Picked off dead leaves on both plants. Day 69 -Watered each plant with 8 cups of pH water. Plant #1 will he harvested in 2 days. Picked off dead leaves on both plants. Plant #1 is super dense and chunky. Should be an easy trim.

So I definitely fucked up this week and missed some crucial water times. I passively knew in the back of my mind to but I was just having busy and stressful days.

Start of week 4 of flower! Off to a troubling start, as the light switched on over 1 hour ealiere than scheduled. I took a spare timer, and set it up to continue it's 12/12 schedule, but now moved one hour back. I cross my fingers they forgive me for this error.๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰31/10 The day after watering and the day my timer messed up my 12/12 schedule. But hope it brings no problems. I defoliated lightly and only removed most under the SCROG line. Even a couple of underdevoloped branches that stretched below SCROG-net got cut. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 1/11 Been having a battle with humidity after watering, but upped my air circulation to help. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 2/11 Waterday* Upped my nutes on BioHeaven, BioGrow and BioBloom. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 3/11 They seem to be responding good to the upped nutrients. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 4/11 Humidity under control. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 5/11 The VPD on point, has really speed up the trichome production. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 6/11 Waterday* Stayed on the same schedule, as last watering. They seem very satisfied and no signs of mistreatment.

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Caยฒโบ), magnesium (Mgยฒโบ), and potassium (Kโบ). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. it's a secret. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what mine gets.

Defoliation is highlighted because any day between now and harvest I will be taking all most fan leaves blocking all bud site's also all popcorn buds will be removed in hope I'll drive more energy to the top buds Okay I'm a newbie so you all know where going for descent top buds , dense colas :) Resin is stacking on the bud site and also sugar and some fan leaves looks amazing can't wait to see the buds stacked Things have been great and the girls are getting thirsty , easy to manage , under 24 hour light and very good going plant not many real signs of light stress just some heat stress due to the heat of the 600w hps just over the canopay Check out my other dairys as I'll have 6 new @Sweet_seeds growing now only one week old I think I've done a good job with these girls as they only hit week 9 and have desent sized buds already on this frist lady the other 1 is a week behind and the 3rd on 2 weeks behide the frist plant ... So starting week 9 pretty close to harvest now but not to rush just now where gonna try a 10 day flush thoe not until somwhere late week 10 the other 2 will be left until between 12 and 14 weeks depending on how plants ripen , Update week 9 day 1 . Only left the girls 12 hours and the bud site's have increased in size just about enough to be noticeable, thoe it does this every 12 hours until she's cut there's gonna be some good buds

Hi everyone I chop her down day 86 and let her dry in 19ยฐ temp and RH 65 % I'm going to slow drying for best results 7 to 8 days She is very dense and sticky bud and so heavy too I think she yield over 150g plus but the bud are not 100% purple its mix with light purple and green ass you can see in pic or video but still I'm very very happy and already germinate another purple lemonade ๐Ÿ’œ next week I will update smoke reviews and final dry weight ๐Ÿ˜€

This week has been awesome as far a new growth . The girls are coming along fine . Iโ€™m seeing some yellowing on the leaf tips so for the next few watering Iโ€™m going to use straight water and no nutrients. Overall both plant are healthy. I have some defoliating to do on both plants . I started low stress training but I stopped because with my work schedule ,it turned out to be a lot of work . So I plan on ordering a Scrog net to keep the girls evened out. Also every week or so I rotate the plants about a 1/4 turn to distribute sunlight and Iโ€™ve been tucking some of the bigger fan leaves ๐Ÿ to get more light at the bottom.

Week 2 of flower is here and they're really filling out nicely!.. im a little bummed we found a hermi but way better than not finding it lol, besides the White OG is filling in the space nicely....color is nice and uniform save a few burnt tips in the bunch (nothing serious), I assume these plants still have another 3-5days of stretching left but time will tell...a few girls look dramatically different and some are much bigger than the rest, i would guess that this is unavoidable...Our goal is 1lb at harvest which should be relatively easy to achieve with a grow this size...Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! โค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 01/07 They're just about done stretching and they look strong and healthy ๐Ÿ˜ป.. we'll do some moderate defoliation on day 21of flower to improve airflow and light penetration..we've been feeding a little bloom, grow and a touch of calmag with every watering and they seem to appreciate the off-label regiment so far..thanks for reading, we'll update soon! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

SONG OF THE WEEK: Joyner Lucas - I'm not racist ๐Ÿ‘ˆ play it twice ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ ------- Day 72 - The ladies are packing nice nugs , the supercropped one is looking like she still wanna produce new flowers and new pistills ๐Ÿ˜, the nugs are hard , really hard and smelling a sweet mango/exotic flavor but it's stealth as you have to be close to smell it. The "christmas three" one is more sensitive to high RH and a bit of mold were removed out of 3 spots so it's fair to say that she's not really strong in front of the others but the buds are hard rocks and smelling really good like mango & sweet all around the garden ๐Ÿ˜. The last one got the nicest bud structure , likes tons of little calyxs stuck together but she's also the one with less smell. ------ Day 73 - 21.09 - 27 days left before the harvest so today will be their last feeding with Greenhouse Hybrids powder to have enough nutrients for the last days before tap water on day 76/77 then a full flush on day 80 until day 100. The Ec were 1.45 before my PK boost and 1.62 after with 6.4 PH for that last feeding ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒน ------ Day 77 - Last day of the week , they start to yellowing a bit , the next flush will hopfully increase the yellowing process to get naturally rid of the chlorophyll. Pictures Next weeks ๐Ÿ‘‰ 23 days left before harvest ๐Ÿ™Œ
