-5/7/23 Start of Week --Week 7/Flower 1 -5/9/23 (Day 52/Flower 3) --Observations: large quaintly of three-point leaves, some nutrient burn --Changes: stopped giving Miracle-Gro nutrients, stared spraying with filtered water --Comments: the LST being use may be more stressful that originally thought, evident in the formation of several three-point shade leaves. some nutrient burn has started killing the tips of some shade leaves, stopped giving nutrients and stared spraying with filtered water. lemon balm is still small and not growing very fast, lemon basil is getting burst of growth and has a light lemon sent. -5/13/23 (Day 56/Flower 7) --Observations: starting to get clustered with leaves again, still not much stigma growth --Comments: can only see a few spots that were damaged by the nutrient burn now because of how clustered the shade leaves are getting. stigma have started forming but are not in abundance, also it is still hard to see the ones that did form. expecting growth of branches and stigma to boost within the next two weeks, still not going to remove anything until the end of week three flower. will start giving low doses of Build-a-Soil's Build-a-Bloom as a foliar spray sometime next week, may also give some in watering as well. -5/13/23 End of Week -Post Note: noticed that the amount of nutrients being given was not accurate, thought it was in tbs and not in tsb. amount of nutrient per gallon has been updated for this week and prior weeks and will be added correctly in future weeks.

Really suffered in the summer with heat waves. Temps in the tent when the lights were on was going as high as 93⁰f (33.88⁰c). The buds have foxtailed as a result and I beleive I had pheno #1 hermy in its final days. 0 seeds found in both phenos so I got lucky. It flew through the veg stage, growing faster than the runtz muffin it was sharing the tent with. Flower period felt fast too, it was looking stacked already in week 5.

Everything is going to plan so far, at the end of week 4 I will be flipping the lights to 12/12 because the gelatos will be ready for it, but the Og is a little bit behind but I’m sure it will catch up with them in the stretch. Day 26 - just switched the lights this morning 12/12 as it’s about time imo as the gelatos are getting big I don’t have the time or space to let them veg on so the Og could catch up, so I’m gonna hope that during the stretch it does.

Plant is growing fast now. The hot days are back, but we are still going strong.

Bastante bonita, buen producción a pesar de que le dio botrytis en la copa principal y tuve que cortar por prevención. Un olor muy original, honestamente me gusto mucho, la considero fácil de cultivar con un plan de nutrientes medios.

5/21/22 - 5/27/22 5/21/22 Refilled the resivore with water nutrient mix. 4 gallons was needed to fill her tote back up. 5/22/22 Took a video of her beautiful buds today. She is so beautiful 😍 5/24/22 My beautiful girl is thriving measurng in at 52" today 5/25/22 Made another cute video of this gorgeous lady. 😍 5/27/22 This girl is getting too big to full photograph. She is drinking 3 gallons every other day. Look at that top cola

Amazing week for girls they look happy I'm happy too 😀

~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

While in the dark I maintained a temperature of 65-68℉ and a RH of 40%. After three days in the dark I removed the Zkittlez Auto and all I can say is WOW! All of the flowers on the Zkittlez were just covered in trichomes and it had a super strong sweet/fruity aroma that hit me right in the face!😍 I cut the Zkittlez and hung her in two sections as the flowers were huge, and I wanted to make sure that there wasn't going to be any issues with air circulation around them possibly causing issues. It's wintertime here now so I took advantage of the low temp's and RH hanging the Zkittlez Auto in my attic. I sealed off a section of the attic from any light leaks and installed a de-humidifier, fan and humidifier along with a hygrometer which I suspended at the same level as the plant was hanging which give the most accurate reading of temp/RH. After hanging the Zkittles, I adjusted the fan direction so that it was not blowing directly on the hanging plant, but kept the air slightly moving in the room. I set the de-humidifier for 50% which I run for the first 24hrs to knock down some moisture in the plant, then set it to 60-65% for the remainder of the drying time. The Zkittles Auto hung for a full 12 days, during which I checked on it daily to empty the de-humidifier and make sure that the environment stayed on point. After hanging, it was time to trim this beauty up and get her flowers into glass jars to begin the curing process which I prefer to take at least one month, preferably 2-3 months to really get a good cure and allow all the starches to convert to sugars, the remaining chlorophyll to metabolize and the terpenes to form their bouquet! Trimming the Zkittlez Auto by Seedsman was a breeze and resulted in some tightly stacked and absolutely gorgeous flowers that are loaded with shiny trichomes that sparkle, and a sweet and fruity aroma that will make your mouth water!😍 I was super stoked to harvest almost 100g from this beautiful autoflower that was grown in a little .5g plastic popcorn pot that I had saved from a trip to see 'Top Gun Maverick' at the theater and I can attest from cultivating Seedsman's Zkittlez Auto in the past, that with a bigger pot, it is capable of some incredible yields! All in all, this grow was super fun and easy! I highly recommend Seedsman's Zkittlez Auto to everyone from novice's to master growers as it NEVER disappoints to produce some mind blowing fruity buds! ❤️❤️❤️

Viel gibt es nicht zu berichten auser das ich es kaum abwarten kann zu ernten 😍😬

She continues to develop nicely. Unfortunately I managed to break two more branches, from both she recovered instantly and the branches started to heal already. (Need to be a bit more careful going forwards). The quick healing I would either account to the genetics, but would also contribute it to the rizothonic from canna, as her root system is also a lot further than the plants I grew before. She already smells super strong, can bare keep the tent open for long.

riego progresivo de 150-175ml/planta/día ha estado bastante nublado, no han crecido mucho, pero parecen bastante sanas

Plants are commencing flush! 10/12 plants looking ripe enough to come down. Some are a little behind. Flush will be 5 days with solution and 3 days plain water with daily res change. Check out the video!

Going off what other people say about 2x-3x growth during the preflower stretch I decided it's time to flip!

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) A seed germinated via skotomorphogenesis (in the dark) will generally develop faster in its initial stages to reach light, though it will be etiolated (elongated and weak) and will switch to slower, more robust photomorphogenesis (light development) once it emerges into light. While skotomorphogenesis is a rapid, growth-oriented process for soil escape, it's a temporary phase; photomorphogenesis is a more sustainable development program that prepares the seedling for photosynthesis. 18/6 with the 6 being IR instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. PPFD overnight 1.8. Think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, your RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level you set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches 50% RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always be releasing more water into the air, so the RH% of the tent overnight will always increase, so long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over, this creates a strong pressure differential which will work wonders on your grow. replicating high and low pressure fronts in nature, critical for oxygen diffusion, but more importantly, full control of your RH%. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, resulting in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow slower to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

Super cropped today soon few more weeks and in to flower

420FASTBUDS FBT2307 Week 8 These 3 ladies are growing great. All at different stages of flower seems like. Stacking nicely in-between nodes. No really big issues and still feeding nutes every 3rd watering. All in all smooth sailing. Happy Growing

1/24 - 1/28: Fed on 1/28. The SO's and MW's have entered the harvest window. and both the Platonium and Velvet Sugah Bref are right behind them, so it was the last feeding for everybody except maybe the GG4.

there is a significant increase in growth after bending the upper cola, as compared with the sativa, the WB grows and blooms much faster, very grateful to your advice, everything is clearly illuminated, on the next allotment I think to add some ice and shed everything with cold water, the flavor is very strong, for three days I made leaf clippings on the lower part of the plant, fertilized 2-3 times a week, I try to add less than the specified norm, I don’t feel like leaves, I feel as you can see it’s not very bad, I feel this variety will be closer to the harvest than the neighboring sativa, it pleases, and I feel the harvest will not be bad) Well, we are waiting for 7 weeks, wish me luck)

Daily reports: Day 1. • Watering: In - 6.1 pH 470 ppm (0.75 l); Out - 6.4 pH 871 ppm (0.4 l). • Stats: - Height - 10.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27.5 °C - Hum - 78% • Notes: My very first LST started! I hope it will increase Heracles strength and body mass 😤 Day 2. • Watering: DRY DAY • Stats: - Height - 9.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27.7 °C - Hum - 73% • Notes: Bent Heracles two times today, will not do it any more. When she will grow a bit more - I will bent the main stem round the pot, so there will be a lot of space for secondary stems in future. Also some space between the ground and the stem will be handier to handle the plant. Day 3. • Watering: DRY DAY • Notes: Found a signs of magnesium, I think it's enough of drying. Day 4. • Watering: In - 6.2 pH 504 ppm (0.75 l); Out - ??? pH ??? ppm (0.00 l). • Stats: - Height - 11.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 29.1 °C - Hum - 78% • Notes: It's too hot and too wet for the plant. I have to do something with that. Two days without watering made no difference - the coco is still wet (pot is still heavy). No drainage after 0.75 mixture poured - I didn't expect that! Day 5. • Watering: Day: In - 6.1 pH 573 ppm (0.75 l); Out - ? pH ? ppm (0.? l). Night: In - 6.0 pH 573 ppm (1.0 l); Out - 6.2 pH 1020 ppm (0.75 l). • Stats: - Height - 11.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27 °C - Hum - 75% • Notes: Did another round of LST today (accidentally broke one fan leave). Fed right after that. Found a green mfucker and tried to kill it but now I can't find him and that sucks. Day 6. • Watering: In - 6.1 pH 921 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.6 pH 921 ppm (0.15 l). • Stats: - Height - 13.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27 °C - Hum - 70% • Notes: Bent Heracles one more time. Now it's 4 side stems bent, main stem bent as well and one side stem grows vertically. At least six separate stems, not bad for the first LST experience! But I hope there will be more before flowering. Day 7. • Watering: Day: In - 6.2 pH 974 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.5 pH 780 ppm (0.2 l). Night: In - 6.1 pH 1020 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.5 pH 874 ppm (0.15 l). • Stats: - Height - 12.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 26.2 °C - Hum - 62%
