Yes, the dream come true! Let's explain before harvest: The one transplanted it's the more advanced one in the flowering (harvest probably end of this week). She had just one topping and grew up very nicely, the buds are stinky but could be fatter (my light it's not enough i guess). 😏 The bonsai one I broke her without wanting to, but she survived and looks the bigger top cola it's from her. I really pissed her off but she respond with strength (a lot). So she had the worst LST you can imagine (lol) and also 2 supercroppings, it looks like this only made her stronger! 😎 The 2 toppings looks like she liked the fight too. With 2 toppings she looks like the one with fatter buds, with 6 colas. 😍 The untouched had been touch, one supercropping on her and that's it, she didn't grow like the others and looks like the youngest into the flowering. Conclusion: I'm loving this shit for real! As I see, you can stress your plant if you know what you're doing (even if not perfectly, like me). On my understanding, they're just like us humans, it needs some hard times and stress to evolve even more yall know!? The untouched it's the smaller, the bonsai grew up like bamboo and the other two (1 topping and 2 topping) grew like sisters and with beautiful colas! 👻😁

This week the girls kind of blew up a bit, and I've added a second trellis. I've stopped trying to fight the higher temperatures and am instead aiming to increase Humidity to make up for the extra perspiration, so far it's working well, though, the plants are drinking a lot more. Check it out, hope you're all having a great week! 🙏

9/10: New week- these young ladies seem like a pair of identical twins I'll prolly transplant both of them in the next few days. 9/11: I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long. I transplanted both of them into 3 gallon pots and observed about 50% brownish roots.. 😕 I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness. 9/12: Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang. They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track... 9/17: I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and gave also them kangaroots yesterday. They are both looking strong, and branching well. I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.

They are developing well and the smelling started to be a bit strong with gas terpenes from both strains. I'll keep following the EC and their development to ensure they won't have any blocker. Day 42 - 15/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd ⏫🌡️~28°C 💧~49% 📏 40cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry, what it seems the watering cadence based on the pot size. They are going very well. After talk with some friends and reviewing the plant status, I decided to keep follow the nutrient schedule and keep looking at them. Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 stopped stretching and should started the bulking phase, that's why the smelling is so strong. On Strawberry Cola 1, I just remove some leafs that were covering the other branches. I, literally, removed 5 leafs. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.8 PH 6.0 On Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, that was nothing receiving light and probably consuming plant's energy. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 6.1 PH 6.0 As Strawberry Cola 2 is one week later than the others. So, it seems going to finish the stretching bloom phase. As Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, also some ones in the middle, that wasn't receiving light and ambushing the middle overlapping the middle nodes. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.9 PH 6.0 The defoliation on them also was done to improve the air circulation because my tent increased 1,5-2,0C. degrees with the season changing. Hopefully it can help to reduce a bit. As the previous EC on them were between 5.1 and 6.1, it means that they are ok, consuming the nutrients and not blocked by high EC. Happy news!! Day 45 - 18/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~26°C 💧~49% 📏 ⏫45cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry and they are going very well. I'm keeping the strategy this week in order to levelling the EC on them. Seen they sucked a bit their development and some burns started to show on the leaf points, I decided to flush them a bit to correct the EC and continue the nutrients schedule correct. I flushed them with 6L of RO water with PH corrected, each one. They reduced the EC to 2.0~3.4 and I added another schedule nutrients solution. All water schedule below is after the flush. Mango Cream I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK. PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.3 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.9 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.5 I also did some defoliation on Strawberry Cola 2 to improve that light penetration and air circulation. Day 48 - 21/05/2025 They definitely are in the bulk phase. The smell is crazy. My flush strategy was successful and they are eating like a monster now and without any bad signals. Happy with the correction results. I also increased the watering volume. Mango Cream I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.7 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 I did a slightly defoliation on the bottom leafs to improve air circulation. This week is working in progress and should be update asap due the plants development. Cheers!🍁🔥

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. Grand Cru Genetics is a cannabis seed bank that emerged in 2018 from a group of breeders in Madrid to provide a satisfactory experience to all cannabis users. "If we do things, we do them well. Due to our experience in the sector and our taste for excellence, we know high quality and we seek it in everything we propose and do." "We have a “cultivate without giving up” philosophy that we apply to everything we do. We do not give up, we are friends of change, and we adapt as necessary in a still restricted sector." "We speak relaxed because we know how to relax. We are not intense or preachy; we accept everyone as they are, and we understand that farming is not for everyone. But for those who do, we are here to accompany you. We like to do it and tell it. We are experts in the field because we are the first to do it. We speak from experience and connect with others because we share the passion for cultivation." "Cannabis has the ability to show us a world of possibilities. When you cultivate and live its growth process, you enjoy a path full of emotions and not just the final destination. At Grand Cru we find beauty in small things. We are attentive, observant, detail-oriented and aware of everyday things, and we savor them without rushing." In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. I think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, the RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level I set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches the desired RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always release more water into the air; therefore, the RH% of the tent overnight will increase, as long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential, which will work wonders with mass flow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

08.06.25. Day 39 Moved to bigger tent and 2 100w lights. The lights are weaker but have have more coverage. Plants shot up in last week. Also lots for rain for pass week, so drop in day time temperature, which is good. I will have to do some defoliation later however I don't want to stress plants too much as one was high stressed trained accidentally (branches broke. See last week pics) Thanks for reading. Please leave a like.

Ok my dear fellows. I've upgraded my tent in a 1m X 2m. With this setup and a high potent dehumidifier I should be able to keep the humidity low. Unfortunately this high humidity was going too kill two other crops. With this setup I should reduce that risk again. So the RHC is now together with the others. She is bulking a lot. There have been a little discoloration on the upper leaves. It might have been the light too strong. This is weird because I'm providing 1500 ppm CO2. All the other parameters are ok so it must have been a little lack of water some days ago. Smell starts to be very noticeable BUT it doesn't reminds me weed but instead citronella. I thought that's why I don't see mosquitos in the room. To the next week *Changed nutrients ratio to meet to lower the EC but keeping PK at the level of (40ppm - 100 ppm). *Next upgrade will be a tower fan to increase the airflow

18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. I have 4 Marilla Fruit plants and they are all very different. The scent of each plant is very strong and very special. MF # 2 - 79cm - has a very compact Indica growth pattern with wide and large leaves. I had to defoliate a lot. Trichomes production is well underway. MF # 3 - 99cm - is more of the sativa type. Very slender leaves with purple stem. Trichomes production is also well underway at this plant. MF # 4 - 81cm - Indica plant with thick clusters of leaves that are packed very close together. Lots of defoliation work. MF # 6 - 96cm - rather sativa type. Open structure, relatively few large leaves, many side branches, buds spread over the entire plant. Less positive are the many small leaves between the flowers.

24 Jan - 30 Jan Started Flushing on Sunday night (23 Jan) ---- 25 Jan A lot of leaves are starting to die, from all of the plants, maybe due to nutrients maybe due to climate, or maybe is just the strain on the end of its life. Either way, I'm planning to harvest next week.

9/20/2023. Things have been going great! I topped and gave first dose of NUTES 9/15. I obtained ILGM Nutes as an uninformed 1st time grower. Also, got 1 strain of seeds from weedseedsexpress. Germ 2 seeds, both growing strong, but they look completely different! I can't help but wonder to what strains these plants actually belong. The NUTES were given at 1/2 strength. FB responded well. #2 responded with Nitrogen Toxicity, displayed as claws appearing on top 2 sets of leaves leaf tips, but only the 3 center leaflets. Seems to be growing well again after 2 rounds of full watering until runoff. The FFHF & FFOF w/30% perlite seem to be working well for grow medium. Not sure I should keep using the ILGM nutes. 9/24/2023. Decided to keep using ILGM nutes in lower concentration.

Day 7 of flowering: Now we are moving. The Mimosa lemon is getting her groove on without doubt. She has taken to the l.s.t training perfectly now andnher many tips are all in a good position for the stretching period now. She has a lot of really vibrant looking budlets forming on each tip now and providing I can keep them where they are as they try to go vertical, it should lead to a good stem filled structure of long colas. Below decks is looking nice and healthy too with some airflow already . If I can keep them in good light and air then I will avoid the defoliation with this happy girl. So far they have still only had water as feed and there is no sign of any hunger or deficiency to concern me. I am very impressed with this strain and as a Christmas bonus to the purchase too. 16 seeds of it free. So far a great grower. The fact she is so well laid out also gives me hope of a good yield. Being a 9 week flowering hybrid of Auto Tangie and Purple punch , we have 8 more weeks to get her to show her beauty and produce that cocktail of citrus and berries. Working her to this point has been very simple and she has met the l.s.t challenges without trying. A very easy to grow and work with strain so far. Glueberry is looking very odd at present. She isnt looking overfed or deficient but something is amiss. She is in flower but still very bunched up looking with a few curled tips to the fan leaves. She isn't stretching out like the Lemon has at all and looks like she doesn't like something. !. I am holding back on her waterings for the next few feeds to see if she is too damp maybe. I am not too worried about her yet but I am also moving her to a better lighting position to hopefully help her get stretching out properly. So there we have it growmies. Both doing OK and hopefully a lot bigger for the next update. be safe and well.

: - Day 1 week 6: water a little bit more because I had to leave town till Sunday hoping not to over water - Day 3 week 6: everything good, they grew a lot, a lot of foliage so I had to defoliate. Girls look pretty good proud of my second run :) - Day 4 week 6: watered them with calmag and bio brow ph 6,3 nothing big, just watching them grow - Day 5 week 6: girls look ok, stretching a lot so happy with them. - Day 6 week 7: I had to water today but girls seemed happy and green at the end of the day so i didn’t. RHC#1 suffered from stupid defoliation from my part by taking too young primary branch. - Day 7 week 7: girls are growing, watered them with calmag and bio grow ph 6,3 1L per plant. Unfortunately I will have to start flowering tomorrow cuz I won’t be in November. I think that 7th week would have been great for them since they were growing a lot lately. Flowering starts tomorrow :)) Sigan viendo 😂
