What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

Flush time! I don't pump loads of water through each pot any more, now they're sitting on a tray without drainage. I've found feeding non ph'd water in the same amounts I've been giving them throughout still allows them to cannibalise, locking out any nutrients immediately now they're being given non ph'd water. I've done this for long enough to be able to confirm no difference in the overall flush, the taste or smell, or a negative impact on the plants. Personally I find it a waste of time and ph down when the goal is to stop them feeding on the nutrients in the medium, but rather the nutrients stored in the plant. I always feed only water for 2-3 weeks, never less. The Runtz are swelling, with huge cola's on some of them. Even the little Runtz runts have stacked well and getting thick! Unfortunately only getting an earthy, piney smell from all of them. Was expecting a nice strong fruity profile, so a bit disappointed. The huge flowers make up for it a bit, but I do prefer a more tastier smoke, I can't deny! 🦊

An amazing week for these beauties. At the start of week two they began forming really well, and by the end there was stacking and great nug production happening. They are filling out so well. Some of the tops were over achievers and got too lanky to manage, so I tucked as I could to manage them without damaging, but they still took off. I typically tuck and bend for the first week, then go hands off till week 3 with a defoliation, but with the bud production happening so quickly it became difficult and I didn’t want to risk snapping anything off and stressing the plant out. Temps have been consistent, around 80 degrees and 58 % RH. I’ve been checking daily for and pests or problems and haven’t had anything pop up. Also checking for signs of stress or ball/sack hermie production, but all signs say they are happy and healthy. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

The Bruce Banner girls are growing strong and full of energy this week.💪🔥 They’re all at slightly different stages, but overall doing great: #2 is the most advanced one, she’s already done stretching and started to produce trichomes early in the week.✨ #1 is still the biggest plant in the tent and finished her stretch around mid to late week, also showing the first trichomes by now.🌿 #3 kept stretching until the end of the week and is a bit behind in flower development, but she’s almost as tall as #2 now and catching up nicely.🚀 All three plants look healthy, rich green, and well-balanced, no signs of any issues. They were watered as usual with RO water + CalMag, and got one feeding of Orgatrex this week.💧 Environment stayed on point: 24.8°C, 55% RH, and PPFD around 900–1000 µmol/m²/s under the Spider Farmer SE5000, controlled by the AC Infinity AI system 🌡️. The stretch is almost over, trichomes are forming everywhere, and the tent is starting to smell amazing, everything’s moving in the right direction 😎✨

5/5/2024 Pistils pistils pistils 5/8 these plants are fucking exploding! Super exciting to see them like this. Pistils everywhere and they’re just STACKING! don’t even see budlets yet, just pistils. The structure of these plants is beautiful. They handle training fairly well. I topped one and super cropped it and did a bit of lst. I was feeling impatient so I decided to see what happened if I pushed the one a little harder and left the other to grow naturally.

Loving life - might move into the other DWC pots I made , this week Fresh solution 4/12/19 Ph test every day

Week 8 (9.2225--9.29.25) took photos on 9.24.25

So she really stretched super hard when she geared up for bloom. Over night she hit me with 6 inches of growth. Leaving my grow light far to close for the fragile new growth that was coming in. It was a lot worse mid grow week last week. I re adjusted my lighting SMH. Her tips slightly recovered but They will never fully recover. Other than that... shes stack amazing. Super bushy and LOTS of budsites. Bunch of donkey dock cola candidates. If I can stop beating em up with light intensity. She spans the full 2x2 like a beast. What an autoflower. I preventative treated her again with Dr zhymes. Shes due for another shower mid week. Got her on a solid balanced feed. I will adjust levels as needed from here. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

In the beginning, she amazed me. Currently, she is having lots of lite green leaves, and her height seems to be coming to an end. I feed her some fish fertilizer this weekend lets see how this fixes her.

The flushing phase is on, time to get rid of the rest of those nutrients that got locked up in the plant system, this step will affect almost 60% of the end result bud quality and taste along side with curing and drying properly the buds. The plant will remains in darkness until i harvest to slow the degradation of thc to cbn and to squeeze the most out of thoses resin glands that activates the most at night . Beside a bit of foxtailing due to the heat differences caused by the addition of 3 cfl buld, the buds are looking great

Repotted to 3 gallon with Ocean Forest soil. Added Mykos to the soil. Moved light up as far as it could go and dimmed 30% to attempt to get rid of dropping/clawing. Watered through and drained. Added tomato cages. Added time lapse of when repotted to this morning to test.

Cosmic Queen - damn, you ever seen these frost monsters? What an autoflower should be, could be

💚💚Week 8💚💚 Welkom terug allemaal bij week 2 visuele bloei. Dames hebben letterlijk en figuurlijk de max op gaan zoeken kwa hoogte. Lampen hangen inmiddels op de max hoogte en nog blijven de banners verder strekken. Volgende week zal ik hier dus maatregelen voor moeten nemen. Langzaam aan ben ik wat extra pk aan het toevoegen. Ec is inmiddels 1.6 en zoals ik nu kan zien doen ze het goed. De Runtz heeft echter heel veel moeite gehad met de omschakeling. Eindelijk begint ze met haar eindspurt en zijn de voorbloei goed zichtbaar. Echter loopt ze toch wat achter op de rest. Dat was hem weer voor deze week. Volgende week flinke veranderingen dus... Stay Tuned!!! 💚💚💚Stay Medicated and Grow Big Buds💚💚💚

-07.04.2025 Today is the day. After a thorough examination of the trichomes, I decided to harvest one of the two Royal Critical Automatic. After a total of eleven weeks. The wet weight of the flowers of Royal Critical #1 = 81 grams, The second Royal Critical Automatic was harvested 3 days later on 10.04.2025. The wet weight of flower of the second Royal Critical #2 = 90grams. The flowers are now hung out to dry and will be weighed again in 7days. -16.04.2025 After 9 days the Royal Critical Automatics are dry. The branches broke directly when bent with a nice cracking sound. The dry weight of both plants together is 41g. The flowers were stored in jars for curing with a humidity packet from IntegraTM and a hydrometer. Total Time: 1879,36h Total Energy: 326,30kWh 1kWh: 0,30€ Energy Cost total: 97,89€ 💚

End of day 41 flower and will be flushing both girls on day 42 flower. Overall the buds don’t seem as fat as it should be but hopefully during the flush they should gain some weight. I took a bunch of clones so those will be going to flower soon and now I have a better understanding of how to treat these girls during the flowering stage. Also popped two Blueberry seeds so I will have a journal on that soon.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Dutch Passion for trusting me with the honor and pleasure of growing their Tropical Tangie. It's an incredible strain, and I can't wait to see what she brings to the table. So, shout out to @DutchPassion_Official and the Grow diaries Platform for making this journey possible! Now, let's talk about the germination process. I followed the typical seed germination method, placing the seed in water. And you won't believe it, within about 30 hours, she sprouted her tiny little taproot. It was like a magical moment, witnessing the start of a new life. After careful consideration, I decided it was time to move her into a small pot filled with Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This is a special blend that contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, which form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It's like giving my Tropical Tangie a team of underground helpers, ready to support her growth. But that's not all! To give her an extra boost, I added Aptus Holland Water Regulator, which helps optimize water absorption and distribution within the plant. And to kickstart her growth, I used the Micordrip from Aptus Holland as well, which provides essential microelements to support healthy development. It's like giving her a tailor-made nutrient cocktail for success. Now, let's talk about the plant guardians, the Ninja Legos! These little guys may seem like toys, but they are the unsung heroes of my garden. Not only do they bring a touch of whimsy and fun, but they are also masters at keeping bugs and bad energies away. They're like the silent protectors of my precious plants, ensuring a safe and harmonious growing environment. Plus, who doesn't love a good joke about Ninja Legos? So, my friends, here we are embarking on the Ninja Lego Tropical Run with Dutch Passion. It's a journey filled with love, passion, and the support of Aptus Holland as my sponsor. Together, we're creating something special. Stay tuned for more updates as we witness the growth and development of the magnificent Tropical Tangie.
