now everything is complete. yesterday i took the gelato to the flower tent, everyone looks great :-)

Lots of growth this week! 😃 So far, the indoor girls are looking fuller to me. They seem shorter with tighter nodes and more nodes than the outdoor girls. Also one of the outdoor girls seems to be a little bit of a runt. I'm hoping she catches up eventually, but I'm noticing the runty looking girl is also not symmetrical for some reason. I think this is a good comparison. I'm glad I'm growing 2 outdoors and 2 indoors so we can see a more fair comparison. If I only had one of each it might be a genetic thing causing the differences. Btw... the indoor plants are under 315w CMH on a 19/5 light cycle, 24" from the canopy. The outdoors are obviously dependent on the sunlight which is between 15-16 hours here now. I don't care that the outdoor girls have stretched more than the indoor - they don't have a ceiling to deal with, nor will they grow too close to the light (unless I'm really lucky 😉 ). I am very happy that so far I do not see any damage due to bugs on any of the plants. I'm still feeding at 75% of the Fox Farm schedule. That seems to be the right level to me. I'm almost out of Big Bloom, just ordered another gallon. What do you guys think? Please comment! Thanks!!!

02.11.'24 After 5 days of drying, this little girl who was a little bigger than a meter gave 950 grams and a little bit of popcorn...this picking was 870 and a little bit of popcorn, and 4-5 weeks ago during a storm, one branch broke, which yielded about 100, but let's say 80 for sure, a total of 950 grams of beautiful, huge, potent buds

JULY 6: MACARON KUSH!!!! THE SEEDLING LOOKs REALLY WELL. I FIGURED I START THIS NEW GROW SINCE I TOOK A SHIT ON THE BLACK DOMINA AFGAN KUSH SEED. ITS STILL GROWING ,BUT AT A SLOW PACE. I DONT LIKE WATCHING SOMETHING SO SLOW SO WILL POST MACARON. WILL STILL KEEP UP WITH ALL PLANTS SO U ALL SEE THE BEST I CAN. THANKS FOR SUPPORT AND LIKES AND COMMENTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND HELP AND ADVICE.July 6 ; THE GIRL is IN TOWN AND BRINGING THC WITH HER!!!July 7; I moved HER into the tent today,I could of waited but the environment in tent is very nice now. HER little leaves lifted to the light. I like that. I had some 🥥 Coco left over and used it but ran out at the last pot. Filled almost half way. So I made just a little Coco and cleaned it along with perlite. They were both disgusting and dirty. I bought cheap brand. You get what u pay for I guess. It was only a little. The rest of my Coco is good,and got way better on the way. Everything going well. Happy growing and blessings on all you grow! July 8: THE GIRL DOING GOOD.July 9: She looking good could tell she likes humidity.July 10: She looks good.July 11; She doing ok .She really likes it better in the floragrow. I'm going to let her grow a bit more before I place her in big tent. Well happy growing my fellow growers.July 12; Today the girls are hooked up. They really like the floragrow area better. They need to grow a bit more before enter Veg..Will load pictures in awhile for today.July 13; Today just going to tend to the baby girls as they grow. JULY 14 ; SHE DOING FINE. JUST KEEPING EYES 👀 ON HER AS SHE GROWS .WAITING TO VEG HER BUTT!!July 15: She growing not to fast. I'm starting to see it's not really my growing that's my causes this slowness it's seeds. I popped some other seeds from Nasty Genetics and they moving. Hope are what they do said because was not to cheep. I'm going to get some really REALLY CRAZY STUFF FOR NEXT SUMMER. IM HOOKING IT UP,IN TIME. Well blessings on all you grow!! JULY 16; TODAY I REALLY GAVE HER A FRESH WATERING SHE GETTING HER BEAUTIFUL GREENISH COLOR BACK.

BLESSINGS ON ALL U GROW. REMEMBER CANNABIS IS A LIVING CREATURE THAT WILL TREST U AWESOME IF YOU TREAT HER AWESOME. JULY 20 ; MACARON KUSH IS STARTING TO MOVE. NOW IM TRYING TO SLOW THEM DOWN AS I ENTER FLOWER IN OTHER PLANTS. I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO PUT UP OTHER TENT, IM TRYING TO WORK OUT A PLAN. I WANT TO TRY AT LEAST TWO IN AS TWO FINISH SO ALWAYS HAVE MY KILL MEDS. I WILL WORK OUT THE KINKS. I LOVE GROWING,WHEN LOVE SOMETHING U LOVE TO DO IT!! BLESSINGS ON ALL YOU GROW FELLOW GROWERS. July 21: She doing really well now. Her growth has picked up. This grow is going to go a little extra long till I finish the girls that are in tent now.I have another good size tent put away but trying to stay away from using HPS . I'm only growing LED to save some cash . Yet it's kinda good to have long veg to get the girls nice and mature for there gorgeous flowers.. Let's see what happens we never know.Well blessings on all u grow my fellow growers. JULY 22,2022: WELL SHE DOING GOOD. Im impatiently waiting for when I let these girls loose in grow tent. I'm having to slow processing because of two plants I started earlyer. One was a clone,a BOMB clone from JJ GARDEN SUPPLIES. This MACARON going to be beautiful ❤️ as long as I give her a top notch living area. She will grow very well if I set up a nice feeding schedule after study of others grows and plants genetics . Read what seed bank says and the dos and don't. I sometimes go out the box with my special mixed up stuff. It's so fun and the coolest there is only one of you. You are ONE OF A KIND!! WELL THIS IS WHAT A BLACK JACK SUGAR WAX DAB DOES GETS ME GOING. Well it's time to get to work. BLESSINGS ON ALL U GROW

28/05 EC: 1,46 PH: 5,7 29/05 EC: 1,48 PH: 5,62 30/05: EC: 1,62 PH: 5,62 31/05: EC: 1,53 PH: 5,9 01/06: I've some problems in balancing PH and maintain the EC at the right level: next res will be with a lower EC. EC: 1,48 PH: 5,8 02/06: EC: 1,5 PH: 6,01 03/05 As the leaves show signs of nute burns, I decided to make a flush with 10 liters of RO water. I started with an EC of 0,05 and PH of 9,15. I added 3ml of PH- until I reached 5,8 and then added 15 ml of GHE Flora Kleen. The new res will run for 48h. I also eliminated all leaves burned or dry. So the new res is: EC: 0,45 PH: 5,8 crossing fingers

For dozdos expert seed. the feeling I got from the smoke is really smooth, I can't smell much terpenes due to disease during the last flowering stage but the effect is giving me a sleepy mood during the day time also with the night time. you might get couch-lock if underestimate her.

Yellow butterfly came to see me the other day; that was nice. Starting to show signs of stress on the odd leaf, localized isolated blips, blemishes, who said growing up was going to be easy! Smaller leaves have less surface area for stomata to occupy, so the stomata are packed more densely to maintain adequate gas exchange. Smaller leaves might have higher stomatal density to compensate for their smaller size, potentially maximizing carbon uptake and minimizing water loss. Environmental conditions like light intensity and water availability can influence stomatal density, and these factors can affect leaf size as well. Leaf development involves cell division and expansion, and stomatal differentiation is sensitive to these processes. In essence, the smaller leaf size can lead to a higher stomatal density due to the constraints of available space and the need to optimize gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. In the long term, UV-B radiation can lead to more complex changes in stomatal morphology, including effects on both stomatal density and size, potentially impacting carbon sequestration and water use. In essence, UV-B can be a double-edged sword for stomata: It can induce stomatal closure and potentially reduce stomatal size, but it may also trigger an increase in stomatal density as a compensatory mechanism. It is generally more efficient for gas exchange to have smaller leaves with a higher stomatal density, rather than large leaves with lower stomatal density. This is because smaller stomata can facilitate faster gas exchange due to shorter diffusion pathways, even though they may have the same total pore area as fewer, larger stomata. Leaf size tends to decrease in colder climates to reduce heat loss, while larger leaves are more common in warmer, humid environments. Plants in arid regions often develop smaller leaves with a thicker cuticle and/or hairs to minimize water loss through transpiration. Conversely, plants in wet environments may have larger leaves and drip tips to facilitate water runoff. Leaf size and shape can vary based on light availability. For example, leaves in shaded areas may be larger and thinner to maximize light absorption. Leaf mass per area (LMA) can be higher in stressful environments with limited nutrients, indicating a greater investment in structural components for protection and critical resource conservation. Wind speed, humidity, and soil conditions can also influence leaf morphology, leading to variations in leaf shape, size, and surface characteristics. Small leaves: Reduce water loss in arid or cold climates. Environmental conditions significantly affect gene expression in plants. Plants are sessile organisms, meaning they cannot move to escape unfavorable conditions, so they rely on gene expression to adapt to their surroundings. Environmental factors like light, temperature, water, and nutrient availability can trigger changes in gene expression, allowing plants to respond to and survive in diverse environments. Depending on the environment a young seedling encounters, the developmental program following seed germination could be skotomorphogenesis in the dark or photomorphogenesis in the light. Light signals are interpreted by a repertoire of photoreceptors followed by sophisticated gene expression networks, eventually resulting in developmental changes. The expression and functions of photoreceptors and key signaling molecules are highly coordinated and regulated at multiple levels of the central dogma in molecular biology. Light activates gene expression through the actions of positive transcriptional regulators and the relaxation of chromatin by histone acetylation. Small regulatory RNAs help attenuate the expression of light-responsive genes. Alternative splicing, protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, the formation of diverse transcriptional complexes, and selective protein degradation all contribute to proteome diversity and change the functions of individual proteins. Photomorphogenesis, the light-driven developmental changes in plants, significantly impacts gene expression. It involves a cascade of events where light signals, perceived by photoreceptors, trigger changes in gene expression patterns, ultimately leading to the development of a plant in response to its light environment. Genes are expressed, not dictated! While having the potential to encode proteins, genes are not automatically and constantly active. Instead, their expression (the process of turning them into proteins) is carefully regulated by the cell, responding to internal and external signals. This means that genes can be "turned on" or "turned off," and the level of expression can be adjusted, depending on the cell's needs and the surrounding environment. In plants, genes are not simply "on" or "off" but rather their expression is carefully regulated based on various factors, including the cell type, developmental stage, and environmental conditions. This means that while all cells in a plant contain the same genetic information (the same genes), different cells will express different subsets of those genes at different times. This regulation is crucial for the proper functioning and development of the plant. When a green plant is exposed to red light, much of the red light is absorbed, but some is also reflected back. The reflected red light, along with any blue light reflected from other parts of the plant, can be perceived by our eyes as purple. Carotenoids absorb light in blue-green region of the visible spectrum, complementing chlorophyll's absorption in the red region. They safeguard the photosynthetic machinery from excessive light by activating singlet oxygen, an oxidant formed during photosynthesis. Carotenoids also quench triplet chlorophyll, which can negatively affect photosynthesis, and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cellular proteins. Additionally, carotenoid derivatives signal plant development and responses to environmental cues. They serve as precursors for the biosynthesis of phytohormones such as abscisic acid () and strigolactones (SLs). These pigments are responsible for the orange, red, and yellow hues of fruits and vegetables, while acting as free scavengers to protect plants during photosynthesis. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is an electronically excited state of molecular oxygen (O₂). Singlet oxygen is produced as a byproduct during photosynthesis, primarily within the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center and light-harvesting antenna complex. This occurs when excess energy from excited chlorophyll molecules is transferred to molecular oxygen. While singlet oxygen can cause oxidative damage, plants have mechanisms to manage its production and mitigate its harmful effects. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is considered a reactive oxygen species (ROS). It's a form of oxygen with higher energy and reactivity compared to the more common triplet oxygen found in its ground state. Singlet oxygen is generated both in biological systems, such as during photosynthesis in plants, and in cellular processes, and through chemical and photochemical reactions. While singlet oxygen is a ROS, it's important to note that it differs from other ROS like superoxide (O₂⁻), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and hydroxyl radicals (OH) in its formation, reactivity, and specific biological roles. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) protects plants from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) by dissipating excess light energy as heat. This process reduces the overexcitation of photosynthetic pigments, which can lead to the production of ROS, thus mitigating the potential for photodamage. Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, plays a crucial role in photoprotection in plants by both enhancing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). In high-light conditions, zeaxanthin is synthesized from violaxanthin through the xanthophyll cycle, and this zeaxanthin then facilitates heat dissipation of excess light energy (NPQ) and quenches harmful ROS. The Issue of Singlet Oxygen!! ROS Formation: Blue light, with its higher energy photons, can promote the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen, within the plant. Potential Damage: High levels of ROS can damage cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and DNA, potentially impacting plant health and productivity. Balancing Act: A balanced spectrum of light, including both blue and red light, is crucial for mitigating the harmful effects of excessive blue light and promoting optimal plant growth and stress tolerance. The Importance of Red Light: Red light (especially far-red) can help to mitigate the negative effects of excessive blue light by: Balancing the Photoreceptor Response: Red light can influence the activity of photoreceptors like phytochrome, which are involved in regulating plant responses to different light wavelengths. Enhancing Antioxidant Production: Red and blue light can stimulate the production of antioxidants, which help to neutralize ROS and protect the plant from oxidative damage. Optimizing Photosynthesis: Red light is efficiently used in photosynthesis, and its combination with blue light can lead to increased photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production. In controlled environments like greenhouses and vertical farms, optimizing the ratio of blue and red light is a key strategy for promoting healthy plant growth and yield. Understanding the interplay between blue light signaling, ROS production, and antioxidant defense mechanisms can inform breeding programs and biotechnological interventions aimed at improving plant stress resistance. In summary, while blue light is essential for plant development and photosynthesis, it's crucial to balance it with other light wavelengths, particularly red light, to prevent excessive ROS formation and promote overall plant health. Oxidative damage in plants occurs when there's an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the plant's ability to neutralize them, leading to cellular damage. This imbalance, known as oxidative stress, can result from various environmental stressors, affecting plant growth, development, and overall productivity. Causes of Oxidative Damage: Abiotic stresses: These include extreme temperatures (heat and cold), drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity, and excessive light. Biotic stresses: Pathogen attacks and insect infestations can also trigger oxidative stress. Metabolic processes: Normal cellular activities, particularly in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes, can generate ROS as byproducts. Certain chlorophyll biosynthesis intermediates can produce singlet oxygen (1O2), a potent ROS, leading to oxidative damage. ROS can damage lipids (lipid peroxidation), proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA). Oxidative stress can compromise the integrity of cell membranes, affecting their function and permeability. Oxidative damage can interfere with essential cellular functions, including photosynthesis, respiration, and signal transduction. In severe cases, oxidative stress can trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis). Oxidative damage can lead to stunted growth, reduced biomass, and lower crop yields. Plants have evolved intricate antioxidant defense systems to counteract oxidative stress. These include: Enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and various peroxidases scavenge ROS and neutralize their damaging effects. Antioxidant molecules like glutathione, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), C60 fullerene, and carotenoids directly neutralize ROS. Developing plant varieties with gene expression focused on enhanced antioxidant capacity and stress tolerance is crucial. Optimizing irrigation, fertilization, and other management practices can help minimize stress and oxidative damage. Applying antioxidant compounds or elicitors can help plants cope with oxidative stress. Introducing genes for enhanced antioxidant enzymes or stress-related proteins over generations. Phytohormones, also known as plant hormones, are a group of naturally occurring organic compounds that regulate plant growth, development, and various physiological processes. The five major classes of phytohormones are: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. In addition to these, other phytohormones like brassinosteroids, jasmonates, and salicylates also play significant roles. Here's a breakdown of the key phytohormones: Auxins: Primarily involved in cell elongation, root initiation, and apical dominance. Gibberellins: Promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. Cytokinins: Stimulate cell division and differentiation, and delay leaf senescence. Ethylene: Regulates fruit ripening, leaf abscission, and senescence. Abscisic acid (ABA): Plays a role in seed dormancy, stomatal closure, and stress responses. Brassinosteroids: Involved in cell elongation, division, and stress responses. Jasmonates: Regulate plant defense against pathogens and herbivores, as well as other processes. Salicylic acid: Plays a role in plant defense against pathogens. 1. Red and Far-Red Light (Phytochromes): Red light: Primarily activates the phytochrome system, converting it to its active form (Pfr), which promotes processes like stem elongation and flowering. Far-red light: Inhibits the phytochrome system by converting the active Pfr form back to the inactive Pr form. This can trigger shade avoidance responses and inhibit germination. Phytohormones: Red and far-red light regulate phytohormones like auxin and gibberellins, which are involved in stem elongation and other growth processes. 2. Blue Light (Cryptochromes and Phototropins): Blue light: Activates cryptochromes and phototropins, which are involved in various processes like stomatal opening, seedling de-etiolation, and phototropism (growth towards light). Phytohormones: Blue light affects auxin levels, influencing stem growth, and also impacts other phytohormones involved in these processes. Example: Blue light can promote vegetative growth and can interact with red light to promote flowering. 3. UV-B Light (UV-B Receptors): UV-B light: Perceived by UVR8 receptors, it can affect plant growth and development and has roles in stress responses, like UV protection. Phytohormones: UV-B light can influence phytohormones involved in stress responses, potentially affecting growth and development. 4. Other Colors: Green light: Plants are generally less sensitive to green light, as chlorophyll reflects it. Other wavelengths: While less studied, other wavelengths can also influence plant growth and development through interactions with different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Key Points: Cross-Signaling: Plants often experience a mix of light wavelengths, leading to complex interactions between different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Species Variability: The precise effects of light color on phytohormones can vary between different plant species. Hormonal Interactions: Phytohormones don't act in isolation; their interactions and interplay with other phytohormones and environmental signals are critical for plant responses. The spectral ratio of light (the composition of different colors of light) significantly influences a plant's hormonal balance. Different wavelengths of light are perceived by specific photoreceptors in plants, which in turn regulate the production and activity of various plant hormones (phytohormones). These hormones then control a wide range of developmental processes.

They barely take any nudes, but they keep fighting and are finally fattening up a bit, most of the trichomes are still clear. Couple days ago i gave them R/o water with calmag recommended dose and with a ec of 0,6, I think they are drinking more since but ph still dropping everyday. I just have to adjust it everyday. The end is near!! I'm thinking to cut the top off in the weekend and the bottom canopy a week later, to get some extra yield because i have uncountable little tops and for all the time and effort put in this grow, it prob will be worth it. Ciao Amigos💪

Same old same old

Cut some Blue Magoo clones. We are using the Nectur for the Gods line on this grow. We cut the clones, cleaned them up, cut them at the stem at a 45 degree angle, dipped them in clonex and planted them in spongy wet plugs. They are under a 4000k HLG LED light under a dome on an 18hour light schedule.

El día 31 de floracion cambio las 3 plantas traseras de posición para el moldeo lumínico. El día 35 ya han dejado de crecer por lo tanto les hago la última defoliacion. Han crecido y ramificado bien, veamos cómo engordan. Empiezan a producir bastante resina/tricomas. Han terminado todas entre 90-105cm, menos una que se ha quedado en 80cm, aunque no es problema.

Ende 1W

8/17 - Fed the ladies with liquid nutrients today. Also did some selective defoliation. The soil looks really healthy. You can see how happy my worms are. The two are coming along nicely and just starting to bud. 8/19 - Top fed all the ladies today with Uprising Grow, Uprising Bloom, and Elemental. 8/21 - They are in bloom! They are beginning to flower and looking lovely. In between feedings I water with RO water and molasses. They seem to love it. 8/24 - Blooming along nicely! Watering just about every day now. Added some mulch to the tops that I made from the dried leaves I take during defoliation. Hoping to keep the tops a little more moist.

Though I have not used any new grow techniques of yet, I was taken aback when I found out that, my LST turned Main-Lining, when I twirled one of the stems around the protruding twig. Loving how she has taken shape, I thought they would never grow but look at her maturing at Godspeed alike her 5 friends. This coming week, I’ll be increasing my nutrient dosage from 125ml to 250ml however keeping my daily watering at 1lt.

This week has been great ,today is day 78 and the girls are just doin their thang , 1 looks ready for flush already and the rest look about another longer then flush for them aswell,, can’t wait to see how these girls finish out over the next couple of weeks 😍!! Y’all keep them eyes peeled an stay tuned for next week! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers.💨💨💨

Hello my friends 😇 Purple Lemonade had been flush today !! She looks beautiful that purpul-dark buds are amazing. In next 3 or 4 days I will cut her 😇 Cinderella and Bruce Banner drinking less from a avg. 1.7l/day to 1.25l/day, so end of flowering for this two will be in around 2 weeks. Cinderella looks really good, she should give a good harvest. Update: Day 67 Happy time !! Harvest time !! Finally Purple Lemonade get to the final point. At this moment there is 0% of lemon scents, BUT !! There is a beautiful smell of berries, chocolate and leather in the air. I can't wait to try it All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 💪 🙏
