E passata la prima settimana e sono rimasto veramente sorpreso! Non ho mai visto una crescita così veloce è vigorosa in una autofiorente, come da regola una buona genetica alla base è tutto! Queste sono genetiche autofiorenti Veramente di alta qualità, di un altro livello! Adesso parliamo degli sviluppi e cambiamenti.... Una crescita esplosiva in ognuna di loro specialmente nella Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix che sembra essere la più alta e spessa tra tutte (per adesso), tutte stanno veramente molto bene anche perché ho preparato una tabella di nutrizione veramente molto ricca e completa, sto utilizzando tutta la linea connoiseur più tutti gli additivi e stimolatori di advanced nutrients e come sempre, devo dire che il loro lavoro si vede! Potete già vedere in soli 7 giorni una crescita esplosiva (sul substrato) di trichoderma, micelio, e batteri (si vede quando il substrato sembra umido ma in realtà è asciutto), questi sono piccoli segnali che mi fanno capire che nelle loro bottiglie ci sta un vero e proprio ecosistema! Non sto seguendo la loro tabella e neanche i loro ml, ho preparato un alimentazione in base alla mia esperienza e conoscenza, per ora è tutto alla grande ed è fantastico perché penso che le autofiorenti devono avere una germinazione perfetta per poter dare tutta la loro vigorosità nel seguito... Dopo questa partenza, night owl è entrato nel mio cuore perché non è solo una di loro ad essere più veloce e vigorosa ma sono tutte è 4 quindi parliamo che ogni incrocio che fa questo ragazzo deve essere un grande successo 😍!.... Io vi vorrei invitare a tutti a seguire la sua pagina personale Instagram così da poter vedere tutti i suoi crossing , perché sono uno più bello dell'altro! Autopot ancora non l'ho avviato ma ho acceso le pompe ad aria con AIRDOME in ogni vaso in modo che possano avere un po' di ossigeno in più le radici. Per adesso ho avviato il progetto con una lampada Mars hydro ts1000 solo perché ha un buon spettro tendente al bianco ed infatti si e rivelata un successo per la germinazione, ma tra altri 7 giorni cambierò la lampada ed installerò la lampada per il quale ho avviato questo progetto, sto parlando della fantastica EAGLE SERIES E520 di growers republic il quale sono diventato un loro tester è volevo prendermi due parole per ringraziarti tantissimo per il loro supporto e sostegno, sono delle persone fantastiche sempre pronte ad aiutare ed ascoltare il coltivatore (non tutti sono così, tipo con Mars hydro tutto questo lo puoi solo sognare...con loro ho avuto veramente una brutta esperienza infatti utilizzo le loro lampade solo per germinare i semi. Fanno led buoni per il prezzo che offrono ma onestamente il servizio clienti fa veramente piangere!) . Growers republic è una azienda che ascolta il coltivatore e ha un approccio diretto con te ed è veramente molto attenta ad ogni minimo tuo particolare, e volevo consigliare a tutti voi di andare sul loro sito a vedere i loro prodotti perché fanno veramente paura! Lampade led di prima qualità a partire dal design innovativo che si presenta abbastanza massiccio (non come il resto delle aziende che produce led plastificati), lo spettro fa veramente rabbrividire perché ha un IR potenziato è si vede tantissimo! È stata anche progettata per avere la temperatura sotto controllo è non supera i 35c di calore! Sprigiona ben più di 1400 umol/j essendo così una delle lampade più potenti che ho mai provato Potete trovare i led growers republic qui: https://growers-republic.com/ Quindi ricapitolando: Midnight Marathon F4 91 Grapes Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix Hervey Wellbanger Queste sono le genetiche che sto coltivando in questo progetto con Night owl ..... Spero che possa interessare a qualcuno di voi e spero tanto che sia stato di aiuto per qualcuno ! Grazie mille a tutti gli sponsor: Growers republic Autopot Night owl Advanced Nutrients E un grande grazie a tutti il pubblico di growdiaries che è passato di qui lasciando un like per il supporto! Grazie infinite a tutti voi 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼❤️

Not much to be said for this lady. Her calmag issue seems to be still present and I'm suspecting lockout. She's on pHd water and calmag for now. Her aroma is amazing. So minty but cheesy at the same time. Amazing. She is fattening up good regardless of any issues. Not long to go for this girl!

Easy week, the plant is growing fast. Only feeding water for a few more weeks. Will start training next week and maybe top if needed. Nothing else to say, this is the boring part.

She started out as the most vigorous grower, but may have been too quick for her own good. She began having deficiencies early on which were easy to address, but they came back intermittently. Ultimately she didn’t thicken up quite as much as I would have liked, but the trichome coverage is much higher than the Sour Kush.

First sign of mold formed. I cut the branch, remove moldy bit and drying it. I needed to get her inside as soon as possible, so this made me harvest the Peach Puree CBD faster as she was using the lights, I brought the church in and put her next the peach for her final night, you can see her in the 3rd picture. I needed to do some super cropping to get a more even canopy so that the light gets as many buds as possible. Was still not happy with how the lower branches are getting barely any lights so I did some foliation and tied the lower branches so they are higher (you can see some side ways branches in the video, that is because I pulled them in). Had to some reflective material lying around, so I wrapped that around her and she is looking very comfortable in her new home now. I've put some hay which I had laying around on the soil with some leaves I cut to act as some mulch which could be why she is drinking very little water, haven't had to water her since I brought her in 3 days ago (mind you she was under a lot of rain before that).

Hello here we are now in flower! Start of the first week of flower and let me tell you we are ready!!!! I had so much fun training this plant! Ive decided im naming her patience cause shes definitely gave me a lot of patience learning, humbling me helping me thru some hard times I've had to go through. I'm blessed to grow and blessed to have the miss Guava Slushy - Green Bodhi Genetics. As far as the tent goes things have been dialed in! Recently got my humidity down to roughly 45, 50 % humidity. With a roughly temp 70s thru the day and 60s to high 50's in the Am. Im beyond proud of this plant! Lets go guava Slushy welcome to the Bloom! Getting ready to feed her bloom nutrients thru advanced nutrients connoisseur line! Ive been flushing her this last week with irrated water ph 6.30 shes looking well! Much love happy growing

Blue gelato 41 took a little work to figure out her likes and dislikes but it was definitely worth the wait , the smoke is smooth and potent as hell, She seems to need a lot of light, the tops by far and away blow the lower growth out the water, I won't make the mistake of having her in a corner of the tent again knowing her potency and flavour 😎👌💪👍 Enjoy this girl if you give her a try growmies 😎

Starting week 4 by lowering scrog and bending some branches, slightly weaved the branches through anywhere they would fit. First time using a scrog net executed to see the results. Thinking next week will be last week of veg

You can see, RuntzF1 has really enjoyed a HOTweek filled with sunshine, finally! ..When the sunrays hit her, she made it snow!!👏👏👏 and she was suddenly in a hurry to finish up.. 👍i think im gonna harvest her end of this week before the temp. gets cold again .. 🙌 happy growing for all ✊ PS 1-7-24: i have been trying to update this diary bc i have a harvest!! but the harvest button does not work.. same with my cheese diary.. i harvested her this weekend but diary is gone.. i emailed GD .. so maybe tomorrow... 7-7-24: the harvest button still does not work.. :( sorry every time i try to update this, it will show as a new update, its not.. this is already 2 weex old, mayb more..)

This week I noticed the buds got more bigger but also the calcium deficiency has gotten worse and so to battle that I added gypsum to the medium and gave them two waterings with banana peels 🍌in the water ( I read banana peels give off Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, and magnesium) hopefully they bounce back and my yield isn’t affected too bad.

This week I switched over to 12/12 light cycle to begin flower stage. Cycled through a sequence of blue, red, and purple light to develop taller (red) and fuller (blue) foliage, using both (purple) at times as long as I could keep the temp under 79F. Man! once I switched over, they began taking off! Some of the more dominate branches began taking over and blocking the smaller ones in record time. I had to add a couple filler lamps (1 LED & 1 CFL, both white) to even things out a bit. NOTE: reverting back to actual Plant-to-Lamp distance (vs Screen/Net-to-Lamp).

High UV-B radiation can necessitate increased magnesium because it plays a crucial role in mitigating the stress and damage caused by UV-B exposure. High UV-B can lead to the production of harmful reactive oxygen species, and magnesium helps the plant's antioxidant systems and chlorophyll function to cope with this stress, making adequate magnesium supply essential for plant health under such conditions. Why UV? To do with the way anthocyanin is different from other pigmentations in that its colouration is not attached to the cell itself, it's a pH thing, if you force the color through high dose, as soon as she stops being in that environment, it will begin to revert back to chlorophyll, nitrogen deficiency causes anthocyanin to be produced in the first place, and nitrogen is needed to create new chlorophyll. When plants have a nitrogen deficiency, they produce anthocyanins to protect the leaves from stress while they try to salvage remaining nutrients, like nitrogen, before leaf drop. 24:1 C:N carbon&nitrogen ratio in medium will trigger autophagy, which will begin the dumping of nitrogen into the soil to feed micros as they FEED on nitrogen to convert carbon sugars into chemical energy via cellular root respiration (calcium/phosphorous VITAL for sugar processing). Couple the UV with a nitrogen dump for all the colors of the rainbow, and remove the possibility of allowing the conversion back to chlorophyll. 10/14 mimics late autumn, winter is coming, maximizing genetic expressions of desired purple genes if they do exist, I have seen no indications that I'd expect from previous grows. Oxygen is the oxidizer; if a soil cannot breathe, nothing good will EVER happen. Raised UV to lower the dosage. The leaves begin producing a protein hormone called florigen (produced via the Flowering Locus T gene). DELLA proteins. The plant measures the duration of the night by monitoring the amount of Pfr that has reverted to Pr. I imagine it like an egg timer with sand. You can speed up the flow of sand one way or another, determined by what type of red light and the ratio overall. The standard flowering cycle for many indoor plants is 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. By applying a short pulse of far-red light at the very beginning of the dark cycle, a grower can trick the plant's internal clock. Forcing the conversion: A pulse of far-red light (730 nm) rapidly converts the active (P_{fr}) back into the inactive (P_{r}) form, simulating several hours of dark reversion. This amplified "sleep" signal causes the plant to believe the night started hours earlier than it actually did. For a short-day plant, this rapid reset means it can perceive a 14-hour night even though it only received 10 hours of darkness. This allows growers to use a 14/10 light cycle (14 hours of light, 10 hours of dark) without disrupting the flowering of short-day plants, as the far-red pulse makes the night effectively "long enough". This provides plants with more light for photosynthesis and can speed up the flowering process. What about all night? Or a pulse (15-30min)? High Pfr (Far-Red) overnight mimics a short night:If you maintain a high Pfr:Pr ratio overnight, the plant never receives the signal that a sufficient dark period has occurred. This mimics the conditions of a short night, during which Pfr levels remain high. Flowering is inhibited: As a result, the plant will not flower. This is the same effect that is observed when a flash of red light interrupts a long night, which instantly converts any Pr back to Pfr and resets the dark-reversion clock. But it's not that simple, I do not necessarily want a 14/10 for the entirety of the flower. Suppose you give a 12/12 with the pr/pfr conversion to make her more of a 10/14. It may not be the best option for the entirety of flower. A photoperiod cannabis plant will develop differently under a 14/10 light cycle compared to a 10/14 cycle during the flowering phase. The differing lengths of light and darkness trigger different hormonal responses, influencing the plant's growth, final yield, potency, and maturation time. A faster maturation time in flowering cannabis offers quicker harvests and lower potential risk, but can result in diminished potency, lower yields, and a less complex flavor and aroma profile comparatively. The trade-offs depend on the grower's priorities and the specific cannabis genetics. 14/10 physical light cycle with pr/pfr conversion for optimal yield to make the plant think it's on a 12/12. After the first 4/5 weeks of flower, when trichomes ramp up, I will change it to 12/12, keeping the pr/pfr conversion. I should switch her to a more 10/14. Although this is stressful, make sure she is not suffering from undue stress from other areas. If enough stress accumulates, there is a chance the increased levels of jasmonic acid will make her pop a few seeds. Be aware, play it by how she is at the time. If you want to make the 10/14 make sure one also applies a second pulse of far-red light (15-30min) two hours into the dark period. This mimics an even longer night, causing the plant to perceive a very short day of 10 hours and a long night of 14 hours. A pulse of only far-red light during a short-day plant's dark period will not disrupt its sleep. Unlike a pulse of red light, which would actively interrupt the dark period and inhibit flowering, far-red light promotes the biochemical state that signals a long, uninterrupted night. This simulates the shortening days of late autumn/winter and can stress the plant, triggering a defensive response. Some growers report that this low, controlled stress can increase resin and trichome production as the plant works to protect its flowers. This mimics a natural outdoor harvest cycle where days get progressively shorter and nights longer. Reduce relative humidity during the late flowering stage to around 30%. This is another controlled stressor that can boost trichome production while reducing the risk of mold. Unlock the full genetic potential and allow for maximal expression of desired genes during critical times. Autoflowers contain genetics from the Cannabis ruderalis subspecies, which evolved to flower automatically based on a predetermined internal clock, or age that flowers based on age rather than light triggers, red and far-red light do not play a role in initiating the flowering stage. However, they significantly affect other aspects of the plant's growth and morphology. The premise that autoflowers do not use phytochrome red (Pr) to phytochrome far-red (Pfr) conversion for any function is incorrect. Like other plants, autoflowers utilize the phytochrome system to sense their light environment and manage processes like germination, shade avoidance, and vegetative growth, even if the phytochrome system isn't what signals them to flower. Thank you 🙏 Almost time. Sound the horn! Maintaining 12-1600ppm by the morning's compensation point alone. She is consistently experiencing noticeable growth every day. Sulfur is in prior to flower, medium loaded with abundance, CEC charged, as the plant grows, so does its respiratory footprint. The exhaust fan starts to flare up at night far more often. The pH is unlocking hydrogen, allowing the plant to cycle CEC for its needs, which is optimal for soil microorganisms. It is charged with controlled doses of sucrose at optimal uptake temperatures. Full negative pressure diffusion setup linked to RH for nights, with negative pressure linked to daytime heat extraction. Just need to throw in the second net, switch spectral ratio and enjoy the show. The struggle of the butterfly to escape through its caterpillar sac strengthens its wings; without this struggle, it would not be able to fly.
