- VPD fluctuated this week between 1,0 and 1.50 kPa, averaging at 1,35 kPa. - Tent temperature fluctuated around 24 at night and 28 Celsius at day time, averaging at 25.9. Slightly higher than last week. - Humidity spiked a lot beginning of the week and stabilized towards the end, averaging at 59.6 which is worse than the last week. - I am still giving standard 6.4 Ph Water. - Frosting slowed down but the flowers keep getting bigger. Trichomes are filling up. Some amber ones appear (%5). I am guessing we have one more week for harvest. - Stickiness and smell are difficult to describe. Just beautiful…

This week I decided to remove the LST and let her strech out as much as she wants. I lollipopped her on day 49 and cutted down all the branches that will never grow to the light. She has to strech as much as possible because there are some way taller plants under the same light. I hope she gonna produce some nice flower and will continue to strach abit. Thanks Fastbuds for the Amazing Strain !

Well a couple issues in the grow room this week. The ladies got much bigger that I had expected! They trippled in size and now I have an issue of them getting a bit too tall. The light I am using says 30-36" above canopy...light is high as it can go and I'm about 28-32 above the canopy. From the info I've looked through I think I had light bleaching going on. I turned the light down 20% and doesn't seem to be happening any more. I am also having a war with the weather. I'm in canada and the weather is all over the place rite now. Drastic temp swings and humidity up and down. Other than this the ladies seem to be rolling along well . Can't wait for the colas to fill ! Staked all the branches in preparation for some hopefully big buds

Let's go! We are doing a "Dessert Run" from Humboldt Seed Co. 10 seedlings have popped their heads up out of the soil (or are on their way up!) We have 4 Chicken n' Wafflez, 4 Jelly Donutz, and 2 Vanilla Frosting starting in solo cups. They are only in this tent temporarily, and will ultimately veg and flower in 8, 30-gallon grassroots pots (totalling 240 gallons of living soil!) in the 5x9 tent. The 2 left over plants may be going into earth boxes. TBD.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis some of its most distinct aromas from citrus and berry, to more earthy tones. Many species of plants produce and emit terpenes in a diurnal, or daily cycle that is regulated by a complex web of signaling. There are also many plants that emit terpenes at night to attract nocturnal pollinators (Marinho et al., 2014346). Regardless of when the terpenes are produced or emitted, these processes are often dependent upon cues derived from natural light/dark cycles via a native circadian clock (Dudareva et al., 2004). Several light-sensitive pigments are involved in these processes of production and emission, and the different photoreceptors are dependent upon different wavelengths of light to be activated or deactivated. Emission of terpenes is a process that is entirely dependent upon phytochromes and red/far-red light cues in most plant species (Flores and Doskey, 2015). For example, repeated light/dark phytochrome signaling is necessary for the emission of terpenes in tobacco plants (Roeder et al., 2007). Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that a lack of red light and phytochrome-mediated light/dark signaling on the part of the plant is responsible for an increase in terpene content in cannabis. The plant continues to synthesize terpenes, but a lack of red light to trigger the Pr-Pfr shift results in a lack of terpene emission by the plant, thus causing the terpenes to accumulate in the maturing flowers.

Plant Mol Biol 65: 107-12 Abstract Sound waves technology has been applied to different plants. It has been found that sound waves were at different frequencies, sound pressure levels (SPLs), exposure periods, and distances from the source of sound influence plant growth. Experiments have been conducted in the open field and under greenhouse growing conditions with different levels of audible sound frequencies and sound pressure levels. Sound waves at 1 kHz and 100 dB for 1 h within a distance of 0.20 m could significantly promote the division and cell wall fluidity of callus cells and also significantly enhance the activity of protective enzymes and endogenous hormones. Sound waves stimulation could increase the plant plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, and amylase activity of callus. Moreover, sound waves could increase the content of RNA and the level of transcription. Stress-induced genes could switch on under sound stimulation. Sound waves at 0.1–1 kHz and SPL of (70±5) dB for 3 h from plant acoustic frequency technology (PAFT) generator within a distance ranged from 30 to 60 m every other day significantly increased the yield of sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato by 30.05, 37.1 and 13.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of lettuce, spinach, cotton, rice, and wheat were increased by 19.6, 22.7, 11.4, 5.7, and 17.0%, respectively. Sound waves may also strengthen plant immune systems. It has been proved that spider mite, aphids, gray mold, late blight and virus disease of tomatoes in the greenhouses decreased by 6.0, 8.0, 9.0, 11.0, and 8.0%, respectively, and the sheath blight of rice was reduced by 50%. This paper provides an overview of literature for the effects of sound waves on various growth parameters of plant at different growth stages. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2095-3119(13)60492-X

➡️ Day+42, the plants will receive their Bio PK 5-8 dose in two days. The Purple Punch Auto is taking its time but is starting to stop growing taller and is focusing on its flowers. The Dosidos Autos are superb. All four plants greatly appreciated the PK booster compost tea last Sunday. Currently at 750-850 PPFD ➡️ Day+47, some of the top leaves of the auto Dosidos were starting to develop very slight white stress spots on the leaf tips under 850 PPFD, so I reduced it to 700-750 PPFD/43-45 DLI, and 1 hour less light, I think this is their comfort zone without pushing them too hard (I don't use CO2). With the heat and despite the air conditioning and dehumidifier, it is difficult on some days to get below 55% humidity, the 4 plants received a preventative spray of Botryprot at J+45. A good defoliation was carried out on the Purple Punch Auto, focusing on the underside of the plant and also removing the lowest secondary branches that were receiving very little light. This was necessary as it was becoming very bushy, and I prefer to sacrifice a little yield to ensure all 4 plants have proper air circulation. There definitely wasn't room for five plants like on day one 😂

Hello everyone! Today marks the last day of veg for my Gorilla Glue X White Widow after a solid 15 weeks. In just a few minutes, she'll begin her first 12-hour dark period as I switch her to flower. I gave her a major defoliation and removed the lower nodes, so the branches are nice and clean with the foliage mostly at the tops. I'm looking forward to seeing how she responds during the stretch. The environment has been stable, with temperatures ranging between 20 and 27 degrees. Humidity has been a bit low, around 45 to 50 percent, but everything is looking healthy and ready for the next stage. Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to share her flowering progress with you. Best regards, Growfather.

Week 5 of Flower is over and my Papaya Cake girl is showing her true colors and smells! She is in full bloom and pumpin trichomes like a Queen. Report: I’m seeing a “tiny” bit of nutrient deficiency pop up but nothing to be alarmed about. She been getting straight 6.2 ph water and nothing else from here on out. Shout out to the YouTube channel “Welcome to the Grow tent” and “Growweedeasy.com for pointing out a few mistakes I’ve made along the way and saving my ass when I thought it was a Nute defi but was just a root bound plant. Their reccs have made a HUGE diff in my yields and overall plant structure. The last run with this strain was nothing like this girl. The smell in the morning around 8:40 and 6:40pm in the evening is something you could write a book about.🎂 Your nose picks up faint odor of papaya and vanilla wedding cake. Hence the lineage she came from would make the most sense. Do you talk to your plants? I do and I know they are paying me back for the CO2 they need. I’m def enjoying the fruits of my labor as they say. And I hope you enjoy the pics. —— How I would rate her overall —— Node stacking: 7/10 Cola structure: 8/10 (more time to improve) Smell: 9/10 Colors of bud sites: 9.5/10 Size of buds: 8/10 (this will never be a 10😎) Overall Appearance: 9/10 Taste: TBD
