Look at the stretch 💪🏽 all the changes happing at once, I got to admit I was not expecting to see flower sites develop so early in stretch considering i only spotted pistols a day after last dairy entry, two day after that flower sites everywhere. She is incredible. I scraped back mulch layer this morning and spotted some friends. First time I’ve seen them in a while I’ve added another net just cause I’m limited to space and I’m not sure when she will stop stretching, Water is now everyday solid a little knf now and then. Other than that very little work this week, possibly will be the case from here to harvest, Until next week let’s get it 💪🏽

Alright Robust in the original shape of a Christmas tree, its thick leaves and well-resined flowers the pistil phase starts to turn orange the trichomes we can go further to have milky with amber, and enjoy its performance until the end its smell is very strong it is sweet .

10-21 - Dropping my new run today!!!! 4 seeds, and one of em is FEM 9 by Fast Buds! So excited to FINALLY start FEM 9....what she will become, we'll find out!!! - Dropped her into water this morning at 7am. 10-23 - Tail showed up this morning! Woohoo! - Put her into a puck this evening with a bit of myco. 10-24 - I can just see her stem on the surface of the puck, guess her shell is sill under. She's trying!!! - Prepared her pot today. Using a 3 gal fabric pot with Promix Coco, no pearlite this time, just straight coco. Fully prewet the coco with a light feed mix of 1.75ml/gal cal mag, 1.75ml/gal Coco A, and 1.75ml Coco B. PPm 270 with a ph of 5.8. - Also using new nutrients this run. Using Plagrons coco A and B. Very excited for this! I love coco, and Plagrons Tera was just a bit much for them in coco, at least i thought so. Will plant into the pot tomorrow! Will start Day 1 tomorrow. **Yes, I am so excited to start her, it's been a longer wait than I anticipated. I don't know what she's going to be like at all, but that's part of the fun! I chose the smallest seed in the pack to germinate...idk why, i do thins like that...which is probably why she took the longest to stand up all the way, but only like an hour or 2 behind lol. And as always, Chat Gpt will be helping me out in this grow...where do you think i get my numbers from, i'm not looking up a feed schedule lol. That's what Chat Gpt is for lol. Cats are being kept at a safe distance for the time being....better safe than sorry. LOL, although, I don't think I could ever actually be mad at a cat! And, just in case anyone notices...which im sure they wont...i made my own account on here. Guess I will still update that one until it's finished unless there is a way to just copy that diary and paste it over here...other than the typing i mean.

Flowers are developing nicely but slowly. Very few feeder leaves are turning yellow yet. I saw some webs between one of her branches and Lemon Cake. So I sprayed them with alcohol and burned some leaves. She and L. Cake have the same dense bushy structur. The buds are tight to the stems which traps humidity and moisture. Inviting pests and fungus.

420Fastbuds FBT2303/Week10 Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend. Week 10 update for these twinzies. WOW are they beautiful with flower sites everywhere just covered in trichs. Nice swollen buds that are super sticky as soon as your fingers make contact. Stopped nutes and only ph'd water from here on out until they get the chop. Which I'll guess will be this coming week. All in all Happy Growing

Hash plant smells great. I did have root issues during grow. It did help solve the issue for future grows. Still had can nice plant. Smells great. Will try to upload a video here and will be available on my YouTube channel. The Viparspectra P4000 light worked great. The New Level Hydro buckets are very nice. Plus PEV has some great strains from ones I have tried so far. Thank you everyone It won't upload my video. It is on my YouTube channel though. I tried. Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g Www.newlevelhydro.com Www.hygrozyme.com.

All 3 plants are growing differently bit very healthy. Not sure why one wants to stretch like crazy while the other 2 are reminding short bushy like plants. Hopefully they start reaching for the light and branch out before I flip to 12/12. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna veg these for but I'd like to have a good canopy before I do. We'll see what happens. For now everyone is getting 4ml per gallon on nutes so I don't over do it. A little goes a long way with advanced nutrients.

So this was my first grow on photos I have grown autos for a long time and I just couldn't waste my time anymore. I am pleased with the outcome but i will be starting a better diary with better plants in the coming weeks. Cheers. Light it up

Buds looking alright. Leaves have seen better days & I feel like she's dying on me... Swapped the light because my friend who 'claims he's an expert' told me too. Flushed 20th will go for a 2-week flush even with this flawless finish. (if they make it that long) My tap water is 360ppm & runoff is 415 after flush (30+L of PH'd water) I am definitely going to do a 48-hour dark period before harvest with no watering. Anything I'm doing wrong let me know!

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is measured in decisions, not dreams. Dopamine release is not the pursuit of happiness; it's the happiness of the pursuit. "Mens Dei" Cannabis buds can expand or swell in warmer conditions, but this is not necessarily a desirable effect. High temperatures can cause the buds to become airy and loose, reducing their density and potentially impacting potency and aroma. First 4 weeks flower, blazing hot expansion of buds, 4 weeks after cool off? Why?? What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Why? Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Tip. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day. Excess light, for example, can trigger the production of excess antioxidants as part of their defense mechanisms against reactive oxygen species (ROS). The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank that bitch. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Several environmental factors can hinder cellular respiration in plants. These include low oxygen levels, temperature extremes (both too high and too low), humidity, water stress, and the presence of toxins. These factors can impair the function of enzymes involved in respiration, disrupt the availability of substrates, or directly damage plant tissues, thus reducing the rate of cellular respiration. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs* Signum Magnum.

Die Woche war sehr gut, ich habe am 21.7. Entlaubt und das hat den Pflanzen sehr gut getahn erst recht die genetisch fehlerhaften Pflanzen haben das gut angenommen. Dann habe ich das erste mal gedüngt, weniger als hersteller Angaben und mit Madame Grows pre flower booster mal sehen was der kann wird 2 bis 3 mal in der vor Blüte benutzt...mal sehen😎 The week was very good, I have on 21.7. And that has done the plants very well, especially the genetically defective plants have accepted this well. Then I fertilized the first time, less than manufacturer information and with Madame Grows pre flower booster let's see what it can be used 2 to 3 times in the pre-flower... let's see😎

D43 - At the beginning of the second week of flower and the girls are loving life. Overall, I'm happy with the flat canopy, but there's one branch higher than the rest on the first girl. I've never super-cropped an auto, so I figured, why not give it a go and see what happens? It's only one branch after all and we still have weeks of flower to go. I also lightly defoliated the girls further. Nothing extreme, just cleaning up here and there. I've been lazy and haven't brewed any compost tea in a while, so I hand-watered the girls with 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.3 with 25 ml EM-1 to boost the microbes in the soil. I'll brew some tea in a few days and feed the girls then. D45 - Minor LST. The first girl is bouncing back nicely from her super cropping. D46 - I started brewing a compost tea last night using a pretty basic recipe of worm-castings, rock dust, kelp meal, and molasses. Today each girl got 1.25-liters of tea @ pH 6.5. I set up automation to control the RH in the tent using an Inkbird controller a while ago, where the humidifier and the extraction fan are hooked up to the controller. If the RH goes above the set value, then the fan kicks in to extract the humid air, while if the RH goes below, then the humidifier starts. With a stable temperature, it works like a ghetto VPD controller where the tent is in the ideal VPD range during the 20 hours of light but still in an acceptable range during the dark hours. Controlling the environment is always a headache in a tiny tent, but this system works exceptionally well, considering it is cheap and basic. D49 - We have reached the end of the second week of flower and everything is going great in the tent. The grow is pretty much running itself now that most training is done and the watering system takes care of the irrigation. I'm still dialing in the system though.
