#seedsman420growoff and #SeedsmanSeeds 📆 Germination Week, 20-26 April 2024 20 April - Placed 3 seeds in a cup of RO water, put in seedling grow tent under 24hrs light at 25% power, temp 74 degrees F. 21 April - 2 seeds cracked, roots appeared. Placed into Root Riot starter cubes. 22 April - 3d seed cracked. Placed into wet paper towel. 24 April - 1st seed sprouted from starter cube. Main root exposed, moved to permanent DWC system (see pictures). Filled for first time with solution. 25-26 April - Let seedling grow. Thank you Seedsman Seeds! I’m very excited to be a sponsored participant and given the opportunity to cultivate during SeedsmanSeeds Growoff this year! The strain I received was Pineapple OG. This is a new 2024 release from Seedsman Seeds. Its genetics are a hybrid 3 way cross with Pineapple Kush, Pineapple Muffin, and Pineapple Express. This unique fusion results in tall plants boasting remarkable uniformity, and delightful sweet, tropical fruit flavors. It also has notably high THC levels (25-27%), 50% Sativa / 50% Indica, with harvest yielding up to 450g indoor - 750g outdoor /m2, and a flowering time between 56-70 days. I’m anticipating the upcoming weeks with great optimism. 📑 The Plan - use a Deep Water Culture, 3 gal system, as a permanent home. Apply a weekly feeding schedule using time tested blends of Terra Aquatica (formerly General Hydroponics), Botanicare, and Europonics nutrients throughout the cycle. Depending on the speed of the grow, veg the plant for 6-10 weeks using the scrog method of training. Then flip into flower where she will continue for another 8-10 weeks. So my forecast is this grow should be finished around 30 August. 🍶 24 April initial nutrient solution TDS 530, PH 6.1 🍽️ 24 April initial feeding schedule first 2 weeks 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 1.0 at 63 degree F 🔆 Light power at 50%, DLI 13 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using General Hydroponics, HGC728040, Dual Diaphragm Air Pump, 320 GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Plants with more direct UV showed much more purple across all 3 plants. The data shows that the number of terpenes in dried Cannabis flowers increases with a “No Red” light treatment for the final three days of production. Based upon these findings, we feel confident in recommending a spectrum control program that eliminates red light output from fixtures for the final 72 hours of the Cannabis flowering cycle. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis some of its most distinct aromas from citrus and berry, to more earthy tones. Many species of plants produce and emit terpenes in a diurnal, or daily cycle that is regulated by a complex web of signaling. There are also many plants that emit terpenes at night to attract nocturnal pollinators (Marinho et al., 2014346). Regardless of when the terpenes are produced or emitted, these processes are often dependent upon cues derived from natural light/dark cycles via a native circadian clock (Dudareva et al., 2004). Several light-sensitive pigments are involved in these processes of production and emission, and the different photoreceptors are dependent upon different wavelengths of light to be activated or deactivated. Emission of terpenes is a process that is entirely dependent upon phytochromes and red/far-red light cues in most plant species (Flores and Doskey, 2015). For example, repeated light/dark phytochrome signaling is necessary for the emission of terpenes in tobacco plants (Roeder et al., 2007). Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that a lack of red light and phytochrome-mediated light/dark signaling on the part of the plant is responsible for an increase in terpene content in cannabis. The plant continues to synthesize terpenes, but a lack of red light to trigger the Pr-Pfr shift results in a lack of terpene emission by the plant, thus causing the terpenes to accumulate in the maturing flowers.

Plant Mol Biol 65: 107-12 Abstract Sound waves technology has been applied to different plants. It has been found that sound waves were at different frequencies, sound pressure levels (SPLs), exposure periods, and distances from the source of sound influence plant growth. Experiments have been conducted in the open field and under greenhouse growing conditions with different levels of audible sound frequencies and sound pressure levels. Sound waves at 1 kHz and 100 dB for 1 h within a distance of 0.20 m could significantly promote the division and cell wall fluidity of callus cells and also significantly enhance the activity of protective enzymes and endogenous hormones. Sound waves stimulation could increase the plant plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, and amylase activity of callus. Moreover, sound waves could increase the content of RNA and the level of transcription. Stress-induced genes could switch on under sound stimulation. Sound waves at 0.1–1 kHz and SPL of (70±5) dB for 3 h from plant acoustic frequency technology (PAFT) generator within a distance ranged from 30 to 60 m every other day significantly increased the yield of sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato by 30.05, 37.1 and 13.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of lettuce, spinach, cotton, rice, and wheat were increased by 19.6, 22.7, 11.4, 5.7, and 17.0%, respectively. Sound waves may also strengthen plant immune systems. It has been proved that spider mite, aphids, gray mold, late blight and virus disease of tomatoes in the greenhouses decreased by 6.0, 8.0, 9.0, 11.0, and 8.0%, respectively, and the sheath blight of rice was reduced by 50%. This paper provides an overview of literature for the effects of sound waves on various growth parameters of plant at different growth stages. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2095-3119(13)60492-X

Just started this one off... Not much to say so far. This is a coco grow. I started off with an amended Coco using Gaia Green 4-4-4 and power bloom 2-8-4.

She grew 13cm this week. Not bad. She's looking good. Tent is a little bit too overcrowded for her at the moment but in a few days the situation will be better.

👇 This week: --- Watered again as usual with the standard Plagron scheme + Calmag (last feeding with Alga Grow) (PLEASE CHECK YOUR WATER BEFORE USING CALMAG) Phosphorus foliar spray - red stems pretty much gone now PPFD at canopy height approximately 350-400, VPD ~1 Performed a major defoliation again Ordered more Autopots 😂 --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

Officially Entering The 11th Week, Things are going quite well, I've decided this will be the last week of Nutrients I'm also going to be doing the final flush at the end of the week, and using plain water and (Bembe) for my final 2 weeks. I got too say I've really Enjoyed Growing this Strain, as well as Learning a few things along the way... All there is to do now is let some of the hairs Amber themselves out.. One Love and again Happy New Year!

Der Stretch zeigt sich und die ersten Haare sind auch schon da. In dieser Woche nochmal entlauben und in der nächsten Woche ein kleines Lollypopping. Soweit bin ich zufrieden.

Fattening up and fading yellow and purple. Believe she'll be a fast finisher and will probably go ahead and start the flush process.
