In addition to improving the chemical composition of plants, UV light also accelerates the germination process for seeds and helps prepare plants for higher light intensities. It acts as a natural stimulant for seeds, encouraging quicker sprouting and robust initial growth. Photosynthesis, as we all know, is the process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food. But here’s a little twist – UV light has been found to enhance this process. When plants are exposed to UV light, their chloroplasts (the tiny structures inside plant cells where photosynthesis occurs) work even more efficiently. This means they can produce more food for themselves! UV light triggers a response in plants by activating specific proteins and enzymes that optimize their photosynthetic processes. This translates into increased growth rates, improved nutrient absorption, and enhanced overall health. It’s like giving the plants a little extra boost to reach their full potential. For instance, when certain flowers are exposed to controlled amounts of UV light, they produce deeper and richer colors. Think of it as a form of “sun-kissed” enhancement! This deepening of color isn’t just about aesthetics; it also indicates improved biochemical processes within the plants.When plants are exposed to UVB light, it is now known something incredible happens—they begin producing vitamin D3 at an accelerated rate. UVB light exposure can lead to an increase in the production of vitamin D3 in plants. The optimal wavelength range for stimulating vitamin D3 synthesis in plants is around 290nm-310nm. Vitamin D3 is produced by UVB exposure of 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) in the skin. The conversion to the pre-vitamin D happens by exposure to sunlight at 290–315 nm (UVB). Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin upon UVB exposure 290-315nm. The UVB exposure of provitamin D3 (7-dehydrocholesterol) in the skin breaks the B-ring to form previtamin D3, which undergoes thermally induced rearrangement to vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is transported to the liver where it is hydroxylated at C-25 by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase producing 25OHD3, which is the major circulating form in vertebrates. The 25OHD3 is hydroxylated a second time at C-1 in the kidneys to the active metabolite. Magnesium is used in large quantities for the enzymatic process, which enables the plant to process vitamin D3. Increase magnesium accordingly.

Alles gut👍

voy por el mes casi. y la mas alta pasa los 30 cm . las otras promedian los 24.5. cualquier sugerencia gracias

So instead of chopping and losing anywhere from 4-8 ounces, I decided to just let them do their thing outside. I know it’s controversial to have a male outside and even more controversial to have a hermed female outside, but fuck it. I haven’t seen huge pollen deposits on leaves, and only a few open sacs, close to dropping. I pick em off if I see them. I am using small doseds of Lost Coast Plant Therapy for my IPM. It’s an all natural, “minimal risk” pesticide made using soap, soybean oil, peppermint oil, 70% iso alcohol, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, and water. Smells super good, does leave a slight film on the leaves because of the soap but does easily come off. I’m planning on doing 2 rounds of budwashing. Budwashing consists of: 5% hydrogen peroxide lemon juice Baking soda Water 3 five gal buckets. Fill one bucket with water and the ingredients, and then the last 2 with just water. Swish the plant matter in the first solution for 30-45 seconds, and rinse in the second two buckets of water, 20 for the first bucket and 30 for the second. Then take plant material and hang dry with a fan pointed directly on the hanging material for 2 days, and then resume normal drying conditions. Should leave no taste or residue behind and have no effect on terps or potency. I will update around august 4th-10th with finished bud pictures and the hanging plants. ALSO PICTURED: my 4 plant Webber grill turned grow container. Will show them off more once they start getting decent buds on them. Shown are: 2 Black Cherry Truffle X 41gs females, and in the 2 tin cans on top of grills soil is Slammer Skunk and Ego Death (both regs) from Terp_fi3nd. Will be watching those for males. Hoping they’re both female. All have been outside since like week 3 of sprouting them. The stalk picture is one of the Black Cherry Truffle X 41gs. Will post updates soon. Thanks for reading.

Stunted but great 👍 very juicy and smells very nice the second plant hasn’t got any purple and has struggled abit but I think it’s still gonna be good

Day 52 - before pic/vid pulled em both out scrubbed tanks..... moved em into a different tent, with a different light.... did up completely different solutions, and currently still building it all.... Day 53 - still buildin... vids of new home... Nutrifield, Rock Nitro, 1200-1500 ppm and 6.5 PH.... see if we can give em a good boost.... left em in pure water before puttin em in new solution.... Day 57 - pics vid.... been adjusting ph... down to 5.8.... they are just growin along nicely in the new home... got a fan for the tent... looks good tho... solution temp is abit high, fan will fix that..... changed just the tanks to 5lt Cereal containers, they are alot taller, more room below the container... fits perfect.... Day 59 - pics vids, , 6.2ph, 1300ppm ... water temps been getting abit high, fans should arrive next week.... 👍😎 120W Aluminum+PC Plug 2835SMD 7995-9594LM 1131Pcs Red+234Pcs Blue * Blue(wavelength: 430nm, 554nm * Red(wavelength: 630nm 660nm)

Buds keep poping up every where. Plants still streaching a bit. Very healthy tangies, no over or under feeding signals. High temperatures theses days, increased ventilation and i have the closet open 24/7. Day 43: 700ml water + 2ml/l atazyme + 2ml/l top candy Day 45: 800ml water + 3ml/l biogrow + 2ml/l biobloom TM2 is in 11 liters pot, TM3 in 7 liters pot, so TM3 always get less watering than coment (600ml for day 52) Day 47: 800ml + 1 ml/l calmag Day 49: 800 ml + 2ml/l atazyme + 2ml/l topcandy Minor defoliation to open the canopy

Second time flushing it.. I’m also running out of time before harvest I should’ve been flushing it a week earlier.. she’ll be ready in 2 days for chop

Colas are getting heavy. Smell getting louder overall I am really happy with the strain

Good week. Careful on the nutrients, have some burn starting. Same nutrients dose as my other Autoflowers but doesn't react the same. Buds starting.

The harvest of this plant was very well. I harvested it the plant the second week of October the buds were very top-heavy, with minimal, fluffy buds almost the entire plant was useful. I was very happy with the harvest of this blue gelato. also, it is a very stony plant very very strong Indica.

This ones. Coming along. Nice still. Buds. Starting. To thicken and. Form color is nice. Still. White still healthy. I did cut off the grow. And upped the. Bloom and micro. Last week noticed a claw. But manky from fan. Some n too 80% is fine so not gonna stress it. No burn or nothing and been holding. For 2 weeks. Now so just gonna. Let her so her thing. Happy growing guys.F38. Getting some size to um now. Smells coming. In and. Smells. Like fruit and. Shit. Lol. Happy growing guys

Soleil, Chaleur, humidité et vent sont au rendez vous cette semaine 👌pour ma Orion F1 il manque juste une semaine ou deux de flushing et je pourrais la récolter. Ma weeding cake m'a fait un énorme bud principal et deux autres latérales, elle ne cesse de grossir 😋. Ma Mimosa et mon apple fritter (60cm) m'ont l'ai plus prometteuse pour une bonne quantité de bud comparer au deux autres (25cm environ) et mes cheese 🧀😁 me donne le smile, réussir des variétés à dominance sativas sur un balcon avec 6h de lumière direct le matin m'étonne moi même 😅

Questa settimana ha cambiato la colorazione sta aumentando i tricomi

Se puede apreciar el cambio a macetas independientes (11lts las dos más vigorosas y la tercera, en una de 5lts). La tercera la tenía en medio de las otras plantas, ya que al estar en una maceta más pequeña, traté de acomodarla a modo de que recibiera más lúmenes (no se logra apreciar en la foto). Como decía anteriormente, no poseo muchos archivos sobre éstas sepas. Y lo que tengo, está enfocado en las otras especies que estaba cultivando. Ojalá sea de su agrado.

@twenty20Mendocino R&DUpdate ~ Let’s Go day 49 for these girls an we are looking beautiful! This week we gave them another trim up a tied them down more a today they have bounced back like nothing happened, strong ones they gonna be an so nice an healthy! The Sangria is looking really beautiful, she’s Been flowering for lil over 2 weeks now so we still got a good amount of weeks for her to build a little more but she is already looking amazing, can’t wait for her to be done, smelling delicious! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day as well as a great safe weekend! Peace love positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

NOTES: I stopped using the root stimulator as I fill the tanks, next full nutrient solution change to mid-bloom phase is at around 3rd to 4th week flowering. I'll I stop using the Grow nutrient and will increase Bloom the same amount. A lot of training on upper parts with the net and some light defoliating on lower parts of the plants. Day57 (12.12.) Day58 (13.12.) Defoliated and pruned my plants a bit more. Removed some big fan leaves covering large areas of becoming bud sites but mostly focused on lower leaves growing inwards, blocking growth, airflow etc.. Added a video afterwards. Day59 (14.12.) Day60 (15.12.) I continued doing the same as before, light defoliation mostly under the canopy. Day61 (16.12.) Day62 (17.12.) Everything looks good and my teenagers are finally beginning to flower, also no signs of any males or hermaphodites so that's good. Filling the net and keeping the tops and bud sites at the same level is a lot of work since they've stretched a lot. They've also needed some pruning and defoliating but I've tried to not remove too much before they've finished growing bigger. After that, propably on 4th week of flowering I can decide better on what to remove and what to keep for the rest of the grow. Day63 (18.12.) I started the last heavier defoliation process which includes removing around 50% of the upper leaves blocking airflow and light to the developing bud sites. I'll continue the process propably a couple days so I don't stress them too much. It's pretty time-consuming to dive in to each plant and remove anything that's unneccessary for the rest of the grow, keeping that in mind I don't even have the time to do everything at once. This includes the bottom nodes and branches that aren't going to reach even close to the net, the leaves that are blocking the light on top, and the leaves at the bottom of the canopy that aren't getting basically any light. Thanks for the tips! 💪
