👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrfication process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

High GD community, Week 13, Both girls looking good, but when it get a closer look, there some browning tips on the pistils. Im not pleased with it, bcs im sure its no sign of maturation. There has to be a shoc or drought, lights? I dont know, ive dropt the output a tiny bit. But im not that sure thats the real issue. Ive measured the soil and it seems pretty cold. Like 17.2 and 18.2 celcius for the 1 with infrared heatingmat 5w. Im using less nutrients now 2, so could this be a reaction. I diddnt go cold turkey on them. But its a changer. They also start to drink more, and there was 1 day it felt all a bit lighter then normal. But deffenitly not bonedry. So I got a lot of questions to get some answer to. This weeks watering💦 was at the usual ph 6.2 and only 1 feeding a week. 4 waterings this week. Thats it for this week Grow safe buds and feel free to check out my other ladies.🌿🌿🌿👍 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

BB2 and GG2 seem to be about a week ahead of the other two. Those two showed the deficiencies. Seems to have quite a few bud sites. About the same watering and fertilizer routine as previous week.

Overall very happy with this plant grow. She was by far the hungriest of the four plants in this grow, but she still developed nicely, loads of sticky sweet smelling buds. Will update in 2 weeks, after the first smoke. Update! Smoked the first buds from this harvest, the smoke was smooth, light berry/fruit taste, it will get stronger as they cure in their jars. Overall, I am happy with the plant, the bud product and quality. She's not a super heavy indica, but she can still pack a punch!

This week was cloudy and rainy but it doesn't look too bad. Usually in the fourth week autoflowers start to grow rapidly - time will tell. I watered the plants with water only. Anny suggestions?

Hi people! Well? Here comes the week before the harvest. 2203, 2205 and 2206 are ready for harvest. I washed them off today. as for 2204, this girl started flowering a week and a half later than the others, so she will stand for another 2 weeks. now in order. 2203, my favorite! she is the tallest of them all. and probably the most productive. because the buds are just huge. and they are not fluffy and soft as it may seem in the photo. they are incredibly tough. This variety has been different from the rest since its birth. she quickly gained height and soared up to 160cm! from the beginning I thought it would be 100% sativa dominant! literally everything was about it. leaf size and shape. structure of branches and inflorescences. BUT! when it began to bloom and take on the shape of buds, I hesitated in my conclusions.)) perhaps this is still a hybrid with sativa. We will know about it exactly after the harvest. Smell: Banana scent is very strong. This is probably the only fragrance that I don't doubt. there are also notes of flowers, and something sour and bitter at the same time. my nose is not good enough to pick out all the flavors that this wonderful variety has to offer. but definitely the smell is fruity and sweet with an admixture of mustard. 2204 this is a very unusual variety. during the growing season I was sure it was an indica. she grew low dense with large leaves. I thought she didn't grow big. why did I call it unusual? because it looks like a photoperiod variety. leaves and inflorescences are different from all the rest. the buds are not big at the moment but very dense. and there are so many trichomes that even large leaves are covered with them. smell: conifers. herbal. citrus. slightly sour. growers will understand me, the smell is such that only strong strains have. I'm sure that high from her will be armor-piercing! 2205 there are varieties that simply fascinate with their ideal forms, color and growth. And this girl is one of them! medium sizes. looks like a pure hybrid. I think 50-50 from the beginning of flowering, a light pink-purple color appeared in the buds. I thought it would become richer as it grew, but oddly enough, the color remained the same soft pink. very unusual for me. I love colored varieties and I have a lot of experience with them. but I have never seen such a delicate pink shade in buds. just a beatiful woman. smell: without a doubt, the smell of chocolate prevails! coffee, cocoa. the sweet smell of perhaps sweets or caramel is also very pronounced. but this girl is definitely made of sweets! 2206 this girl was the most unpretentious and inconspicuous. because she did not require special attention to her. grew without problems. the buds are also very very dense. like a stone. these buds are just my pride. because they are formed flawlessly. strewn with trichomes like snow. I sometimes just want to bite off the top of the bud. smell: wooden, coniferous, nutmeg. there is a little citrus aroma, but very far.

Day 79 17/09/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Seeing good developments, buds forming nicely, divines are smaller denser structures but the buds are not lacking! Damn I'm surprised by 2L pots. Day 81 19/09/24 Thursday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 83 21/09/24 Saturday Another feed to push this week they seem to be handling it 💚. Fattening up on the buds now and pistils starting to mature

About 3weeks left.. No problems after Nitrogen and some P deficiencies.. As a new grower best things I have picked up is not be afraid to make mistakes do tons of research and testing nutrients on a separate dummy plant, have fun patience and learn everyday.

Luego de agregar micorrizas las plantas están absorbiendo demasiados nutrientes y muy rápido lo cual hace que las tenga que fertilizar más porque aún tienen deficiencia del 5% así que está semana empezaré con fósforo potasio.

Esta semana fue solamente de flush 🚿 en esta ocasión decidí usar florakleen para ver con cual obtengo mejor resultado si con este o con flawless finish, lo hice así, primero hice un lavado con pura agua con ph de 6.2 lo hice desde el ultimo día de la semana anterior, fue lavado doble, uno en cuanto se encendio la luz y otro justo antes de apagarse, luego empezando esta semana regué dos dias usando el florakleen y ph de 6.2, el tercer día no regué y al final de ese día le di corte ✂️ y la colgué, actualmente ya la tengo curando, la tuve 10 días secándose con una humedad de entre 50 y 60% para un secado lento.

And it starts like this. an official collaboration starts with the friends of Zamnesia, from today I will only grow, grow and flower Zamnesia Seeds plants and I really like it. We are close to a flowering in the extreme heat and therefore we opted to start with 4 very fast F1s, they are not joking guys when they tell you that they are made to be more resistant, stable and fast they are not telling you something false. The girls are super fast, even those from other brands tried in the past are excellent and a sliver and this one from Zamnesia have all it takes to be the best autoflowering on the market. The Runtz F1 was born at the speed of light, 17 hours in water, 24 on land and we were already born, both of us. Oh yes, a lot of research is being done on autoflowering plants, you have all noticed monstrous improvements compared to Low Rider and subsequent derivatives. Whoever works best wins and from what I have been able to see so far Zamnesia is working very well. I know, there is a group of sceptics, friends I'm here on purpose, give me a couple of months and we'll see. Zamnesia is the best online shop in the situation, you can find everything from seeds, to mushroom kits, through vaporizers and a thousand other things https://www.zamnesia.io Runtz F1 seeds specifically https://www.zamnesia.com/10662-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-f1-automatic.html Site Description ZAMNESIA - RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: UNIFORMITY, RELIABILITY, AND GREAT FLAVOURS! What can we say about Runtz that hasn't already been said? Well, trust us when we say you've never seen it quite like this before! From the team at Zamnesia comes Runtz F1 Automatic. Now, this isn't some Formula One car-related special edition, no. This strain takes everything you know and love about the original Runtz and offers a reliable and uniform growing experience that will impress everyone. GROWING RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Runtz F1 Hybrid Automatic is the lovechild of Gelato and Zkittlez; the result is a strain that's extremely vigorous and fast to flower (taking just 10 weeks from germination to harvest). While autoflowers generally make for a no-hassle growing option, F1 hybrid seeds take this ethos one step further. Runtz F1 Automatic showcases great uniformity, meaning all plants will have a remarkably similar appearance and output. These plants are also highly resistant to pests and disease, so if it's your first foray into the world of cannabis cultivation, you're in the right hands with Runtz F1 Automatic. Reaching heights of 55–75cm, Runtz F1 Automatic can slot into the pokiest of grow spaces, both indoors and outdoors. But this small stature is not to the detriment of production. Once ready, growers will be treated to a return of around 500g/m² indoors and 100–150g/plant outdoors. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Another perk of F1 hybrid genetics is that these plants are teaming with terpenes and cannabinoids, making for a pungent and potent experience you're unlikely to see with other strains. When it comes to delivering massive flavors, Runtz F1 Hybrid Automatic certainly doesn't phone it in. Upon taking that first toke, users open themselves up to bold notes of creamy vanilla mixed with candied citrus fruit. The result is mouth-watering. With 25% THC to its name, Runtz F1 Automatic offers an uplifting, euphoric, and creative high that will suit all kinds of scenarios, whether social or solo.
