Defoliated them a little. Nothing special. I try to keep at least 3 or so big leaves below the net jfust in case there is an issue with the plant where it shows the symptoms at the lower branches first. I believe this way I'm faster to diagnose in case something does go wrong with feeding. Oh yeah, trellis is about 30cm (give and take) above the pots

Cette semaine a été un peu mouvementée dans mon coin de jardin. Mes feuilles, surtout les petites dernières, ont décidé de prendre une teinte jaunâtre à une vitesse folle, ce qui a immédiatement déclenché ma mode "gardien de plantes" en me demandant si c'était une simple sénescence ou peut-être un petit creux en azote. Finalement, je me suis dit que c'était probablement un mélange des deux. J'ai tenté de jouer au super-héros des nutriments en ajoutant un quart de dose d'azote, histoire de voir ce qui se passait. À ma grande joie, la plante a plutôt bien réagi. Cela m'a donné le courage de doubler la mise, et miracle, aucune overdose à l'horizon ! En dehors de cette petite aventure, ma chère plante continue vaillamment son chemin, en plein dans la phase excitante de maturation des têtes. Ça promet d'être intéressant ! 🌿

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Remember, For every molecule of glucose produced during photosynthesis, a plant needs to split six molecules of water. This process provides the hydrogen needed for synthesizing glucose and other organic compounds, while oxygen is released as a byproduct. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (Lime/yellowing) Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. For those high-intensity workouts when 1 meal a day is just not enough! Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The plant was getting a little limey yellow in the centre. Shortly thereafter, she was back in business, green mostly regenerated. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Confidence is evidence... nothing more. You are confident because you have driven 10,000 times, you are confident because you have spoken 10,000 times. People think confidence is a feeling, but it's not. If you want more confidence, then you need to create evidence, take more shots, collect more data, build more experiences, take more risks; fail, confidence doesn't come first; it is the reward you get for doing the work. no one else wants to do.

Dried , Cured and now ready to smoke 10/10👌

Week 6 this is of flower. The trichomes are showing cloudy/ clear so now it’s just a waiting game

Only 2cm vertical growth this week! But she's bushed out a lot. 💪

What a beautiful strain! This pheno came to me from a 3 pack and has got some strong OG Kush resemblence: long and weak branches, light green leaves in flower, thick buds with little leaves and a strong smell of lemon, earth and cleaner. Skunky flavours from critical mass are not noticable. Very nice palette indeed. A pretty straight forward grow: I already knew the cultivar and was able to give her just about what she needed at each point of the grow. The end result is a plentiful harverst of very aesthetically and psychoactively pleasing cannabis buds.

We have a very full tent! Taz’s jungle 😂🤣. Check out the purple purple photos from day 20!!! Everyone looks absolutely beautiful I’m hoping that the white critical will be ready in 4-5 weeks. She’s going to have some fat colas!

07.07.2025 Flowering day 9 and rooting day 9. Both, flowers and roots show up now. 08.07.2025, 09.07.2025 | Flowering day 10 and 11 Did some lollypoping

Start Woche 3 Blüte. Heute wurde das erste mal Entlaubt und ein paar der untersten Triebe kamen weg. Nun haben sie wieder etwas Luft. Die rechte Dame legt gerade einen zwischenspurt ein😳 (Hoffe die ist Ende der Woche mit dem größten Teil der Strech Phase durch)... Beide bekamen heute nochmal ein Topdress mit 2g/l Greenhouse Feeding BioBloom. Ansonsten ist das bisher ein sehr entspannter Run😌😌 Außer ab und an den Tank kontrollieren ist nix zu tun. Tag 15 Blüte Die Lampe wurde nochmal hochgehängt.. (nun ist Ende, höher geht nicht) Aber es kam endlich die Zusatzbeleuchtung an und wurde direkt eingebaut. 40W Fullspectrum als undercanopy und 48W UV (auch als Pest Control). Das Undercanopy ist mit der Hauptlampe an. Die UV ist erstmal auf 50% gedrosselt und läuft je 15min vor und nach der Lichtphase.

11/24 and week nine Will be feeding Monday as well as a foliar of weak cal-mag Defoliating as well Tuesday Maggie's bud are beginning to cone as Layla and so that is hopeful. 11/27 Do not see much bud building on Brandy. Not a deficiency issue that I can see just the effect of the stunting. Considering harvesting Brandy cutting my losses and freeing light space for the others which we hope will pay off. Get some sleep see how it looks in the morning. 11/27 PM Brandy and the Runtz will be harvested this week as they are just ready to go and I want some of both :) Recharge and bio-bloom for Layla and Maggie just some water and a bit of recharge for Brandy. Just to see what happens PH 6.5 New pics and vid 11/29 new pics Going to let Brandy continue to ripen the Recharge seems to have triggered new hair growth 11/30 Changed the bulb on the Lights to a different maker (vivosun) and man what a difference. That old light was costing us! From now on that bulb is changed every six months.

Día 12/1/26 Día 2 de la semana 8 de floración.Entramos en la octava semana con problemas. De los tuppers quitadores de humedad que tengo,uno se me volcó enganchándolo con mi artilugio una lanza con gancho para vaciarlo y cambiarle el recambio.pero se derramó la mitad del contenido en una zona media - casi atrás del armario y quemó varias plantas. 2 de manera grave y otras 2 no tanto. Me es una lástima la verdad,las atendí ayer con un gran lavado,añadiendo en esa zona mucha agua, a través de la manguera del grifo empoandolo. Espero que no siga a más y puedan terminar los 15 días que les queda. En dos días,añadiré un riego de azucares con un poco de PK. En la entrada el foco. No está funcionando bien,creo que el fallo viene del driver o el dimmer. No sube la potencia y comienzan a fallar los leds Añadiré dos lámparas de 100w cada una para reforzar. Y cuando acabe el cultivo meteré las dos nuevas lámparas marshydro sp3000. Día 13 Las plantas están bien jodidas,después del lavado de raíces,solo cruzo los dedos para que puedan finalizar la floración. Dos de ellas llegaron al punto de quemarse dos canopias en el centro por el debido exceso de cloruro de calcio que contienen los contenedores de absorción de humedad. Por lo demás las demás chicas están estupendas. Día 15 Se quedaron bien fastidiadas ya las quemaduras pararon hace un día. Quemaron prácticamente 2 plantas casi al 70% Y las otras 5 están 50/50% Me a jodido mucho.. casi finalizando ya solo nos quedan 12 días de cultivo. 🤩 Podría haber salido perfecto en salud al menos. Rendimiento lo mejoraré en la siguiente tanda. En el día de ayer di el último riego de abonos . Ahora en adelante todo va a ser agua y limpiar raíces. Si estuvieran todas buenas de salud ,seguiría dando abonos en la siguiente semana. Pero prefiero limpiar y preparar el terreno también así de exceso de nutrientes para las siguientes… Día 16 Ya estamos a punto de entrar en la octava semana. Tome la deicision de dejar las plantas que se quemaron parece que ya se pararon. Pero las mantendré con esperanza de poder madurar los demás cogollos que no se han visto afectados. Por lo demás las plantas están fantásticas. Hay alguna que tiene un pequeño bloqueo de nutrientes,debido a las grandes cantidades de fertilizante de estas últimas semanas. Pero mañana ya empiezo con los riegos de lavado de raíces,agua con enzimas. Muchas flores empiezan a tomar tonos de las bajas temperaturas. Morados y azules. No podré sacar el rendimiento que deseaba en este cultivo por una torpeza de volcar, el desumificador desechable. Pero ya vamos preparando la siguiente ronda de amnesia y esta vez si lo haremos verdaderamente bien!

Happy with the result when i started with a seed. Mother : 100gr dried Clone 1: 70gr dried Clone 2 + 3: 90gr dried

Heeeey all! Sorry for the extremely slow update! The past few weeks have been crazy for me! 😱 This week I made a lot of defoliation and decided to be somewhat greedy. I'll let the plants grow a bit more so they'll stretch well during flower! So while I defoliate I'll allow the plants to recover properly! 💪 Near the end of the week I also made another mistake with Roko (poor baby! 😭). I broke another of the stems (the one that divided the plant in two, right in the middle) and I feared the worst! But so far the plant kept growing without any problems. I'm still thinking a name for my 4th baby, she has surprised me greatly and I didn't notice how many new branches had grown until I defoliated her and I'm sure she'll deliver some great buds! 😍 Anyway everyone, this is all for now. Thanks for reading this journal and soon I'll update the next week! 😃

Showing some color now. Smelling good in there. this is basically week 6 now, (i missed a week) and is getting more GP3 BLOOM, I did finally get in to do somewhat of a defoliation

Update of Goofiez 2 of compound genetics!! On RDWC it’s literally super fast grow !! We are doing a pheno hunting of 12 plants and we seed 4 of them that are the best at the moment

14 - 20 septiembre Finalizando cuarta semana de floración con las colas bien formadas y un baño de Regina en sus hojas

Updating two days early but wicked happy with the progress so far. Starting to understand the strain and what it likes to be fed so just trying to adapt to it and really lock in on a smooth feeding schedule. Have been against pruning in the past but couldn't resist attempting "Nebulas Manifold" and finally topped after the 6th node finally developed this morning. Topped on the 3rd node with leaving a stump for connection and trimmed the remaining nodes below. Was pretty surprised at how much they were reaching when I check in on them tonight but happy to see they're still crankin. Time to wait for the 4th node and top again. As always, any questions, comments or suggestions are always welcome! Thanks!

Dag 92. Nu börjar dom glittra, lukten är helt magisk. Kristallerna är mjölk vita . Så spolning inom kort. Längtar efter att få smaka på detta. Dag 94. Slutet närmar sig. Blir en 10 dagars spolning i slutet av kommande vecka. Vattnas i munnen nu 🤤..
