Ooohhhweee! This is a pretty plant! Perfect bud structure, great resin production, and the terps are sweet abnd earthy. One of my favs in the tent right now! ✌️🏻💚

The holiday season got away from me a bit and prevented me from getting an update in on Monday but the plants are _really_ taking off. There are now visible bud sites and plenty of them. *Full Disclosure*: I've significantly upgraded my light in my flower tent from a Spider Farmer SF-2000 to a Spider Farmer SF-4000 and, as such, I'll likely see my yield take off quite a bit this grow. It's certainly having an impact on the heat in the tent and, subsequently, the amount of time the in-line fan is running; that being said, the plants appear to be responding quite well! The last two grows I've run have fallen off hard (complete and total yellowing/chlorosis and drying out regardless of consistent watering/light/nutes/pH) around week five of flower and, with that in mind, I'm trying to keep this grow as simple as possible. I'm purposely using no advanced grow techniques where I'd usually top, LST, and HST. The only "advanced" technique I'm using is a bit of defoliation but this is mainly just to avoid some of the dense bottom growth that tends to decrease air flow, increase humidity, and take away from more rewarding top-growth. This week, along with replenishing nutrients, I've fully emptied out and cleaned my reservoir. While doing so, I noticed a fair amount of red-ish algae growth which I'll likely address with more consistent cleaning of the reservoir and some sort of additive (I'd welcome any suggestions and dosage if you've got any suggestions). All in all, great progress.

Switched to 12/12 Defoiled them every 2 days...slightly, just to stop all shadings Mixed in some flowering nutes mid week Got an really even canopy...LST did a good job...light seems to be used very efficient now

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

These girls are doing amazing. Top dressed a little late so they got a little hungry. Other than that doing awesome. Pollinated and producing seeds as planned. I can't wait to grow all these crosses out.

Hi everyone 🤗 This week it looked more and more astonishing after opening the box a wonderful sweet smell wafts through the room 👍. A few days ago the Blue Cheese Phenotype 1 was harvested and placed in the dark room :-). This week both Kosher Tangie Kush phenotypes will be harvested 👍. Next week the Blue Cheese phenotypes 1 and 2 will be harvested ;-) everyone else needs a while 😀. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱👍

Empezamos la septima semana cambiando el ciclo de lúminico a 12 horas de luz y 12 horas de oscuridad para inducir la floración, también empezamos los riegos con fertilizantes para estimular la flora y aumentar la producción de tricomas, mejorar el aroma de la flor y aumentar el peso final de la cosecha.

// Day 91 She is getting there. The buds ware not fattening up as much as I wanted to but her trichomes are almost all cloudy and a very low minority is amber. So I guess I give her 2-3 more days and cut her down on friday or saturday. This time I try out the bro science: Befor cutting, I'll let her stay in the dark for 48h. So maybe I turn off the lights tomorrow until friday and chop her down. The bro science hypothesis is that the not ending darkness will give her a last stress which boosts trichome production. || Edit: I‘m not here for bro science, so I am not doing that shit // Day 94 I chopped her down today. Since I need to do a bud wash (spider mites, outdoor grow), I can't hang the plant whole. So I cut the stems into as big pieces as possible and washed them with deluted hydrogenperoxide. I hanged them into the tent and try to dry them as long as possible.

Start der Blütewoche 6 🌱 Diese Woche gibt es nicht viel zu berichten. Alle 4 Pflanzen legen ordentlich an Masse zu und werden von Tag zu Tag Giftiger 🤩 Auf der Geruch hat extrem zugenommen. Ich musste bei jeder Pflanze die zu Äste zusätzlich am Hauptstamm fixieren, da das Gewicht der Knollen ordentlich nach unten drückt. Diese Woche bekommen sie noch Nährstoffe nach Plan, ab nächster Woche beginnt der flush.

Hello! Northern Lights from Sensi Seeds is a great strain to grow. It is easy and resistant to most things except my stupidity (*) . I grew them in Central Europe, in pots of 17L on a basic windows growth, with decent soil with additional mycorrhizas. Generic multi fertilizer like Nitrophoska was added in beginning as granules + I added some poo from rabbits. Plants grew nicely also with the light from the large windows, but I felt they preferred a warmer and sunnier climate. (next time you can try cool or continental climate strains). After 25 weeks, I harvested 2 of them (one was harvested couple weeks before, read below for details) and I got 573g of material before drying. I will try to update the value when it is dried. Now they are drying like in the video I uploaded. Thanks for reading my diary. *) Once I opened the windows and I bent the central stem of the third plant, the smallest since beginning. I put a stick to keep it up and it still survived until flowering. I had to harvest it couple weeks before the others 2 plants, because after this "injury" the plant started to have some mites that were spreading in the plant. In this country, you cannot buy BIO products against parasites, so I preferred to harvest sooner. For the numbers of this last harvest report, I counted only the 2 that I harvested together and 573g is the wet weight of these other 2.

Had a good week, buds popped up all over the place. Gonna be a good harvest.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

I am pleasantly surprised with this grow. This is my second time growing Cream Cookies and my yields have increased by 400%. Cream Cookies #2 was the heaviest yielder coming in at 224.04 grams wet. Coming in at almost a quarter POUND for one plant just makes me grin from ear to ear. Im so extremely happy with how ive been taking care of them. It seems that proper and methodical defoliation is the key to massive yields. Cutting fan leaves which block out a significant portion of the available light to the lower and developing bud sites proved to be a great choice. The plants look a little 'skinny' after defoliation, but the newly exposed bud sites explode into the canopy. Im just so very happy with how everything went. Haven't smoked yet its curing now, will update in two weeks!

All I can say is wow for my first time growing one of their strains from start to finish it was an amazing experience .. The team at divine seeds have me the opportunity to try out some of their strains from the best cataloged seed collection they have . The fist thing I would say was the germination was fast from about 6 hours Into the soak in ph 6.5 water they were sprouting a root allready from the shell . One of the fastest to root I have ever seen in a auto flower was this #moonrockauto by divine seeds . From start to finish this strain has proven to be a fighter no matter what I threw at it as a young grower . I tried to honestly not use to much nutrients with this grow I wanted to see just what the plant could do and take with stresses . The first week was indoors and then I transplanted her outdoors I to garden soil with some promix as well .. This was when I added some mycorrhizae to the root zone and gave her a good watering .. I also used extensively every two or three weeks the miicrobial mass to help stimulate good bacteria in the soil .. week 4-7 she was just exploding with new growth both upwards and horizontally .. The plant had more internode gap distance then I would like at times but it was also lacking a full sunlight location so that doesn't surprise me . The buds were forming around the same time weeks 4 and up with the whole process just flying by . I wish that I had been able to put her into a bigger pot and more open space because she had the potential to be a monster of a plant . This plant would have been a heavy feeder and the amount of dense buds I could have gotten would have been so much more then I got now .. looking forward to what I get to run from their company again they do have some awsome sounding and looking strains . There opium and CBD crosses sound good as well . There will be an up graded page next week with the dried buds and maby a little smoke report ..so I include a small smoke report to this page .. After being hung dry and left to burp in a ziplock bag the buds were dark green with small orange Hairs .. The smell is great I love it but because of the high humidity and rain I lost my top bud to bud rot and was not going to risk smoking anything that could harm me so that was lost . The smaller buds were fine and gave me an extremely big head high . It reminds me of a sativa high with a lot of anxiety . But it was a clean white ash with great taste and smooth smoke just a early day time smoke , this was made into butter as I enjoy eating this more so ..Divine seeds has some amazing strains can't wait to harvest and smoke Some more soon !!

Well we thought something was wrong with our white widow being that from one day to the other she was crooked and looking Ill.. so we cut her way before time.. BUT (bud hehe) after closer inspection it was a block of in the autopot.. so she prolly could have bounced back..

Cut some Blue Magoo clones. We are using the Nectur for the Gods line on this grow. We cut the clones, cleaned them up, cut them at the stem at a 45 degree angle, dipped them in clonex and planted them in spongy wet plugs. They are under a 4000k HLG LED light under a dome on an 18hour light schedule.

So this week I got the heat problem taken care of by insulated areas of the garage where air from the outside would leak through. Now that I have temps and humidity lockdown hopefully we can expect some tremendous growth
