"Mens Dei" What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. 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. 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 to scavenge ROS made from photosynthesis. 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 it. 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. " A leaf can perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis simultaneously. During daylight hours, plant cells utilize both processes: photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen, and cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for the cell's needs. The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used as reactants in cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) can be used in photosynthesis. The limiting factor is the oxidative capacity; the less a leaf is utilizing photosynthesis, the less oxidative capacity it uses, and the more it can perform cellular respiration. Even if a leaf is not in an optimal photosynthetic position, it can still utilize respiration to its full capacity during daylight hours. Kinda too much info to explain when some asks if they should defoliate or not, yeah add calmag or some shit. 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. 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*

This little mango is loving life in the greenhouse. Looking nice an healthy at the end of week 4. I think she got a touch overwatered when I transplanted her into her new 1 gallon pot but she seems to be getting over it. The weather is looking nicer this week so there should be lots of new growth in store. 😎🍿

Día 31. Las plantas pegaron un estirón muy fuerte estos días. Estoy pensando en pasarlas a floración antes. Pero no quiero mudarlas al principio de la floración, para evitar stress. Sería lindo tener una referencia de cuanto ganan en altura en floración. Si es el doble en altura, no va a haber problema. Pero si es el triple o más, cómo muchas variedades que he hecho, se puede complicar de poco a mucho. Ya corté esquejes para intentar mantener las dos variedades. Voy a ir mirando, pero son 10 días más de crecimiento y de raíces que van a tapar todo.

Finally the Sour Strawberry started catching up! It seemed to have some sort of mutation where it topped itself and also rotated while growing. In the timelapse you can see the entire plant rotates about 90° over the course of the week. Sadly the other 3 plants kept throwing new issues at me and were at very different heights, all while the Sour Strawberry was tiny. Bending them had little effect and I did not actually want to super crop them just yet. I had to put in a net.

d14 -slow growing flower exploded :) d15-flowers growing rly fast i can just wach nothing to do yet :) d17-*fiming* one plant(smallet) with smallest pot for some tests d18- spoten first pistils alredy.... pre flowering i guess d20-flowers looking good growing fast :D d20- started with some LST d21- Changed MH to HPS and 20h light to 22h light. d21-This week was nice,didnt do any big changes plants growing nicely onley 1 flower growing complety diffrent then others...all have 4new stems every way this onley have onley 2.....then all have 1 main cola on top this one looks like will have 2 main colas...(4 or 6 now when i FIM it ..will see if i even fim it curecly ) Thats all! Was fun and i cant wait for harvest day!!!!

She looks very healthy and strong,think she's gonna grow very good without any issues,she's being 100% organically fed by biotabs organics with bactrex,mycotrex and 2 tablets of slow release organic fertilizer by biotabs. Looks fantastic on day 14I hope to not have ant bad issues tje rest of the journey! 💚🌱🤞

Sup everybody, I thought a lot and if got learn the time is now! I have 4 babys so I decided that two of them will be for my practice, one I won’t change a thing, and the last one I’m obligated to transplant (didn’t have pot :@). I follow the advice of putting more soil into my pots and that’s was great! I topped one as you can see, put some cinnamon powder to help heal (don’t have much sure, but read that somewhere). The other I did some LST, honestly this is kinda harder to me than topping because you must be very careful and kinda follow your instincts to bend the plant. The other one as said I didn’t changed a thing (gotta have at least one guaranteed hahahaha) The last and minor one I didn’t have pot so need to transplant very soon. That’s it, hope you like and honestly I’m satisfied until now, I thought I would screw it all just in the first week. That’s it, my newbie advice: go for it, just don’t go blind!

Bellissime e in gran forma, sono molto felice... Una delle 2 sta prendendo la colorazione viola, ma presto la prenderà anche l altra visto che provengono dalla stessa mamma... Sanno un profumo interessante di petrolio classico ceppo chem. Non vedo l ora che prendano colore 😍😍

2te Woche beginnt. Bisher läuft es glaube recht gut … Die kleinen wachsen brav … Habe mal 2 weitere Nutrients hinzugefügt und Versuche den VPD Wert irgendwie konstant zuhalten 🙈👍 Dank 4 Blumat Classic pro Topf reicht ab und zu bisschen sprühen aus dem Befeuchter… heute das erste mal die kleine Pflanze abgedeckt und ganz leicht von oben die trockene Erde mit den neuen Nutrients zusätzlich befeuchtet. Mal schauen was sie so bewirken …

Finally Harvest day 😘 Smell is great how i had say on other weeks all house smell of this dank berry.Buds are nice and super sticky cant wait to try it. Will plant more from this .

📆 Semana 9 La A5 Chaze de Terpyz continúa madurando con firmeza. Tras quitar una de las dos puntas por exceso de humedad —ya controlado— la planta responde concentrando energía en la estructura restante: los cogollos se endurecen más, ganan resina y muestran un brillo más intenso. Los pistilos siguen oscureciendo y la flor empieza a enseñar ese aspecto serio y definido de una Haze en su tramo decisivo. El aroma sube otro peldaño: terroso, amaderado y especiado, ahora más afilado y profundo. La ventilación queda perfecta con la punta principal, y los riegos bajan ligeramente para mantener estabilidad y evitar cualquier repunte de humedad. 🌼 Semana de ajuste fino: potencia, aroma y resina concentrándose en lo que queda de estructura. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Slight nutrient burn on the super silver haze and the banana. I have backed them up in feed from 10ml per gallon back to 8, it seems to have done the trick the last couple days. Both banana and super silver haze are trucking along quite well I think otherwise. I have officially decided to start my flushing on the black domina x Scott's og, trichomes are about half milky half clear, not sure if I should be doing a full flush or continue feeding through week 7 and start flush on week 8 I'm not overly sure lol see how it goes anyway. Cheers

She has very nice smell already, I think his bloom will be very sticky and satisfying ,Already Its 5th week and she’s getting bigger and bigger.

Hello my dear friends! Hope you’re all as good as I’m feeling 😎 This was the last week for the plant. After a intense 14 weeks, she came to an end, and this week was more to get it ready for the crop. Since the flush last Friday, didn’t give it any feedings at all, to have it as dry as possible. Now it’s time to chop, trim and hang it to dry. Hopefully in 10-14 days she’ll be ready for the first test smoke. The bud is solid and compact like I’ve never had it before, really good quality in that field. EDIT - already cut, 225g green after trim. Let’s see how it’ll turn out after drying it.
