Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme.

This week was still about recovery from last week. Given the phase this plant is in, this week was a stand still... but I'm glad it did not move backwards. We did a heavy defoil in the middle of week, as some of the sites where blocking each other quite a bit. The air flow and color has returned the middle of these plants. I was getting worried about bud rot. All for all, these plants are doing well and smell like yummy weed! When we defoliated I went outside to take out the garbage and the whole neighborhood smelt like these ladies 😂😂😂 I hope that they keep growing and thickening up. They are putting weight on, I hope Week 12 is huge on that front. I am probably only giving them up until 13/14 before I give them the chop. I wont be flushing. I will be feeding up until the last res before harvest.

7th week

She is vrowing strong and healthy. My tent its outside of my house. and i need to take out to take some.picture. i aleays fivht with the worms. One week more fornthis lady.

I grew three plants under a 331 watt cob , this was the biggest , it liked defoliation, and would probably enjoy LST0 i really tried to give some buds a good trim, but i cant see very well so thats the best i could do...0 Big thank you to Fast Buds for the prize 😀😀😀😀😀

What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

3/29 - flush day. I'm not sure if I should keep this one going or if I should plan to harvest at the end of this week...she doesn't have much amber, maybe 1%. Lots of cloudy and some clear. I'm tempted to let her run until Runtz is ready but I think I might have a week discrepancy between the two. 2L distilled water 5.9pH 69.5 *F 3/31 - feeding, getting close to finished I think. I'm going to try to harvest at mostly milky 3L distilled water 6.0pH 70*F 475ppm Bloom 2.99g Kelp 0.67g Yucca 0.9g Cane Molasses 1.5g Amino Acids 1.05g Enzymes 0.28g Real Grows Recharge 0.2g 4/3 - feeding day. Terps are still 30-40% clear with very little amber so I'm going to let her run some more. First time giving Terpinator so I'm curious if that will make any sort of difference this late in the game. 2L distilled water 6.0pH 71*F 110ppm RAW Cane Molasses 0.71g Terpinator 25ml (too much...oops) Great White 1.04g Real Grows Recharge 0.11g

Well, another week has passed and they are growing very well, now it's a matter of two to three weeks for me to change them to flora, this week I did a little defoliation on the plants and watered them again with top crop top veg fertilizer and I also did some bindings known as low stress training. =D

Big, fat, thick, hard, smelly, pretty buds. What more can you ask for?.....Very pleased! Thanks Barney's!

Defoliated it a few days before harvest so plant can focus more energy on buds. Smells very citrusy, very powerful. Will harvest her in the next few days to start drying process :)

Due to the high number of tops that naturally produced themselves on the pop,,I had to start some LST,,and in the process,,accidentally knocked the top off it,,😁😂😂🙏 Thankfully the main stem plugged itself,,and the branches that have been trained,,,look promising,,,,🙏🙏💚🇦🇺

Week 6 is here

Wish I Had More To Show! I Failed My DWC First Round And Really Got Bummed! While The Tent Was Resetting Even Though The Aquaponic Was Still Going Well I Just Didn't Take Much Shots 🙃 I Know Someone Out There Feels Me But Good News On The Horizon! For Now....This Video Sums It Up 😆

👍 10/15/2020 It's been 3 weeks since last update so 33 weeks got 2 weeks I think ? Feed some 4-9-3 happy frog 3 tbls and 3 tbls of (DE). 3 weeks left at most. 10/16/2020 There is some nasty weather on the way so I am going to bring her in for the finish going to get out a scope tonight and have a good look at her. But I think two weeks left, also will be under a 11-14 cycle till done. Her mother plant thrived under this light and microclimate. Ps. She's expected to be (FLOWERING!) 10-12 week strain So calyx swelling soon🙏 I almost forgot, she smells like Juicy Fruit gum. Smoked something similar in the 1980's and been searching ever since! Hope she tastes as good as she smells 10/26/2020 Its been 9 weeks and 4 days since start of flower buds are getting harder everyday maybe a week to go. 10/29/2020 10 weeks on the nose. Just water,water and water this week took some branches 2 weeks ago very good for no cure just dried, but With a good trim, and cure should improve over the next couple weeks. Harvest may come this week but we will see🙏

🌿 Journal Entry - February 25, 2025 Day 23 – Blueberry Autoflower ● Activity: Big girl needed a bigger drink today! 🥤💦 Gave her 500 mL of nutrient solution with Success Nutrients at ⅛ strength for autos. Here’s the magic mix: 🚀 Blast Off: 0.05 mL 🌱 Micro: 0.06 mL (oops, a tiny bit extra but she'll be fine!) 🌳 Trees: 0.05 mL 🌸 Flowers: 0.05 mL ❄️ Frosty Nugs: 0.025 mL 🛡️ Silica: 0.025 mL 💪 Bud Strength: 0.025 mL ● Observation: She was a little droopy before, like "hey, where's my drink?!" 😅 But after watering, she perked right up! 🌱✨ Her color is deep green and she’s growing like a champ. Keeping an eye on some slight leaf curl, but nothing major—just making sure she stays comfy. 💚 📅 Date: February 27, 2025 📆 Day: 25 🌱 Plant: Blueberry Autoflower 💧 Activity: Watered with 500 mL of nutrient solution, using Success Nutrients at 1/8 strength for autoflowers. Nutrient mix (in correct order! 😉): Silica: 0.25 mL Micro: 0.6 mL Trees: 0.5 mL Flowers: 0.5 mL Frosty Nugs: 0.25 mL Bud Strength: 0.25 mL 👀 Observation: She's getting big and beautiful! 🌿💚 Exciting news! She officially started showing white hairs on Day 23, which means flowering has begun! 🎉🌸 Leaves are lush, vibrant, and happy, soaking up all the goodness! 🌱 Blueberry Autoflower - Journal Entry 🌱 📅 Date: March 1, 2025 📆 Day: 28 💧 Activity: Gave 750 mL of plain, pH’d water today—keeping it clean and simple after her last feeding! She was bone dry and definitely ready for a drink. 💦 🌙 Schedule Change: Adjusting her sleep schedule from 10 AM - 4 PM to 2 PM - 8 PM starting today! ⏰💤 This will help fine-tune her environment and keep things running smoothly. 👀 Observation: She’s looking big, vibrant, and thriving! 🌿✨ Now that she’s officially in flower, she’s drinking up water faster than ever—crazy how much she’s growing! White hairs are coming in beautifully, and she’s stacking up nicely. Let’s see how she responds over the next couple of days! 🚀 **Well, she started flowering! I noticed white hairs on day 23! I made a mistake....ChatGpt told me what to water on the 23rd, but I gave the wrong amounts of everything! LOL OOPS! It was early and I read my marks wrong, instead of 0.5, I gave 0.05 ml....yes for everything. She adjusted the journal for me and this is why we gave nutrients in the next watering. On the 23rd, ChatGpt was having issues with responses. She fixed later on in the day, but it does seem something was going on with her servers and memory for a couple of hours. So I had to go to a different chat screen and she gave me the wrong info at first. It was easy to spot though, her responses were just off. So I waited for a couple of hours and she was back to normal. It doesn't happen often, but it can be an issue if you don't catch it. She did say that we are going to start more water and more nutrients now that she is in flower! Can't wait! She is as excited as I am** **So weird! ChatGpt does not function right in the mornings. She's off just a bit...like gives me wrong info or gets my nutrient names wrong. I wait till noon and she apologizes and gives me the right info then. From now on, I'm just going to wait till noon to talk to her about blueberry. However, I'm going to have to change my sleep schedule for Blueberry, I'm moving here from sleeping 10-4 to 2-8. This will help me with communicating with her better. I did ask first and ChatGpt says changing her schedule would be fine.**

Day 38: I am getting the big 50L fabric pots primed and set with the eco-thrive Living Organic Soil . I am a few days over the update so the photo/video is from day 36. I am in the process of rebuilding too so time has been a luxury.

I can’t upload the week comment… Screenshot🔝 See you soon for the Banana Purple punch in coco😈

2/10 Fed 2/10 water ph 6.3 2/14 fed tonight happy valentines

12/6 Week 16 The girls are slowly finishing waiting on more bud closure before flushing, trics are fine. May notice we dont so much flush as just remove nuets continuing 10-20% runoff and let the plant use up stores. 12/7 FF10 still has not closed up, not close, the 9 and 11 were pretty clearly done. These just wont stop so I wont mess with the nuets Not a lot of fade very slight 12/8 Slowing but still going 12/9 Putting FFT-11-1 on flush (front plant) this evening, she is there. At least a week 12/11 Putting FFT-11-2 into flush not because she is done but because if the buds get any bigger she is going to break. Triple caged her keep it from happening now.
