I finally decided to cut my losses and focus on just one plant. It's time to go all-in on my "one plant, one light" goal. It feels kinda scary, but I'm also really excited to see how much attention this plant's gonna get. Pretty sure I kept a pheno that is going to be huge My Pound Cake plant's leaves are looking awesome, just like the pictures online. It's growing so fast, it's almost doubled in size in the past week. I'm really excited to see how big it gets by the end of its life. I messed up last week and overwatered my Pound Cake plant. It got really droopy and sad-looking, but luckily it's starting to perk up again. Definitely a lesson learned about keeping a closer eye on things.

D83 F36: Hello everyone! I apologize for the quality of the photos, I really have a shitty phone! Apart from that everything is going well! The plants are growing very well, still no signs of deficiency. I started cooling the box at night 2 days ago and the colors are already appearing! I upgraded my LED panel to 600w F33, I was sure I was correct with 400 but I noticed that the flowers were not developing correctly The smells are really incredible, more and more marked! I have a little crush on the code red #1, a smell of strawberry candy, cream and syrup. the white runtz x Hollywood is very very special too! a very runtz smell, with a very marked smell of marinated ginger and lemongrass! very special, it's also the one that makes the biggest heads, incredible I did a big defoliation (schwazzing) a few days ago and they recovered very well. I moved the plants again, I'll put the locations below. I will apply tco F40 in my flowering TCO, I put: - kelp hydrolysate - epsom salt - bat guano - mealworm guana - castor bean shell ash - palm ash - vermicompost - blackstrap molasses - elycitor -Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Bottom right: Papaya Bang Bang #1 Bottom middle: LA Vanilla cake #2 Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #2 middle right: cherry gar see ya #4 clone middle: white runtz x Hollywood middle left: code red #2 Top right: Code red #1 Top middle: B-45 Top left: LA Vanilla Cake #1

Time to ripen in the cold. Added excess blues back to spectrum for last week. The electrical conductivity (EC) range of soil varies depending on the type of plant being grown and other factors: Optimal EC for plant growth The optimal EC for plant growth is usually between 0.8–1.8, and should not exceed 2.56. EC for different crops Different crops have different EC needs: Most field crops and vegetables: 0–4 dS/m Salt-sensitive crops like beans and strawberries: 1 dS/m Salt tolerant crops like cotton, dates: Up to 8 dS/m EC and soil composition The conductivity of soil is highly dependent on its composition and moisture. EC and temperature Temperature can influence EC by affecting the mobility of ions in a solution and the availability of water in the soil. As temperature increases, so does EC. EC and nutrient deficiencies Very low readings below 0.2 dS/m could indicate nutrient deficiencies The expression of chlorophyll-degrading enzymes is mediated by various transcription factors and influenced by light conditions, stress and plant hormones. Chlorophyll degradation is differently regulated in different organs and developmental stages of plants. The initiation of chlorophyll degradation induces the further expression of chlorophyll-degrading enzymes, resulting in the acceleration of chlorophyll degradation. Chlorophyll degradation was initially considered the last reaction in senescence; however, chlorophyll degradation plays crucial roles in enhancing senescence, degrading chlorophyll–protein complexes, forming photosystem II and maintaining seed quality. Therefore, controlling chlorophyll degradation has important agricultural applications. 1O2-induced chloroplast degradation and chlorophagy appear to be superficially similar (selective chloroplast degradation after abiotic stress), but evidence suggests they represent different pathways in the cell. First, 1O2-induced chloroplast degradation in fc2 mutants occurs rapidly within 2 hours of stress [19], while chlorophagy is induced 1 or 3 days after EL and UV-B stress, respectively [24,25]. Second, 1O2-damaged chloroplasts are usually in an advanced state of degradation and lack Both chloroplast H2O2 and 1O2 can promote cellular degradation [44,45]. For instance, chloroplast H2O2 can travel through stromules to the nucleus to initiate cell death during pathogen attack [46]. However, 1O2 is most generally correlated to cellular degradation and cell death in photosynthetic tissue [5,47]. 1O2 has an extremely short half-life of ~0.5–1.0 μs, restricting movement to ~200 nm in water [48]. Therefore, the bulk of 1O2 is expected to stay within the chloroplast in which it was Cellulose biosynthesis is a complex biochemical process, which includes various enzymes, such as CESA, Kor, and SuSy. Uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose) is regarded as the immediate substrate for cellulose polymerization in higher plants. Photosynthetically fixed CO2 is the ultimate source of C for the synthesis of nucleotide sugars, such as UDP-glucose, which are the building blocks for synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides (Nakai et al., 1999). UDP-glucose can be derived from the cleavage of sucrose catalyzed by SuSy yielding UDP-glucose and fructose, demonstrating that SuSy had tight association with cellulose synthesis and the availability of sucrose in the cell would affect the rate of cellulose synthesis (Coleman et al., 2009). Flavonoids, including flavone, flavonol, flavanone, isoflavone, and anthocyanin, constitute an important group of plant secondary metabolite, which can enable plants to adjust to environmental pressures (Kovinich et al., 2014). Recent researches showed that these compounds have physiological functions such as antioxidant, bacteriostatic, and anti-inflammatory, which are beneficial to human health. Especially isoflavonoid is predominantly synthesized in legumes plants. Anthocyanin, a class of flavonoids, localized in vacuoles, provided a wide range of colors ranging from orange/red to violet/blue. The content and variety of anthocyanins are the primary determinants of color in many fruit peel and flesh or flowers; the family of MYB and WD40 transcription factors and DFR and CHS had significant regulatory function on anthocyanin synthesis (Wang et al., 2019; Zhuang et al., 2019).

Borax laundry detergent. Also known by its scientific name, sodium tetraborate. The atomic structure of sodium tetraborate, also known as borax, is made up of two tetrahedral boron atoms and two trigonal boron atoms in a fused bicyclic structure: Two fused distorted hexagonal (boroxole) rings and one distorted octagonal ring Anion Tetraborate anion (tetramer) with the formula B4O2−7 Sodium tetraborate, Na2B4O7 Sodium tetraborate is a naturally occurring, powdery, white mineral that is used in laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. It is an ionic compound that dissolves easily in warm water and reforms into large crystals when given a surface to attach to. Sodium = Salt Tetra = Greek "4" Borate = Boron After my 2 month coma stone we are back at it. New digs too. Experiments have shown that treating soil with magnetized water and/or low-frequency current (0.5 or 5 A) activates soil potassium and phosphorus, thereby increasing their bioavailability. 23. Chemical Abstracts 96: 49235b; ibid., 96: 67828b 24. Appl. Electr. Phenom. 6: 454-458 (Nov.-Dec. 1967) Aloe vera is ideal as a rooting powder alternative because it contains glucomannans, amino acids, sterols, and vitamins. Studies show that these help many types of species develop more and stronger roots when growing cuttings or propagating via air layering. Turmeric is an excellent natural rooting hormone Cinnamon as a rooting agent is as useful. Small mixture of all 3. The ancient tradition of Sacred Geometry is still alive and well in the person of Frank Chester. He has discovered a new geometric form that unites the five Platonic solids and provides some startling indications about the form and function of the human heart. This new form, called the Chestahedron, was discovered in 2000, and is a seven-sided polyhedron with surfaces of equal area. Frank has been exploring the form and its significance for over a decade, His work has potential implications across a number of areas, from physiology to architecture, sculpture, geology, and beyond. Organic cotton stands out with a frequency of 100, mirroring the human body's frequency. *burp* It's all about the salt https://www.seafriends.org.nz/oceano/seawater.htm Water will be moved counterclockwise around quartzite oxygenated. Plants need elements for normal growth. Three of them--carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen--are found in air and water. The rest are found in the soil. Six soil elements are called macronutrients because they are used in relatively large amounts by plants. They are nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur. Eight other soil elements are used in much smaller amounts and are called micronutrients or trace elements. They are iron, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, and chlorine. They make up less than 1% of the total but are nonetheless vital. Most of the nutrients a plant needs are dissolved in water and then absorbed by its roots. In fact, 98 percent are absorbed from the soil-water solution, and only about 2 percent are actually extracted from soil particles. on that note, some points of interest regarding Boron. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6073895/ Boron (B) is an essential trace element required for the physiological functioning of higher plants. B deficiency is considered as a nutritional disorder that adversely affects the metabolism and growth of plants. B is involved in the structural and functional integrity of the cell wall and membranes, ion fluxes (H+, K+, PO43−, Rb+, Ca2+) across the membranes, cell division and elongation, nitrogen and carbohydrate metabolism, sugar transport, cytoskeletal proteins, and plasmalemma-bound enzymes, nucleic acid, indoleacetic acid, polyamines, ascorbic acid, and phenol metabolism and transport. This review critically examines the functions of B in plants, deficiency symptoms, and the mechanism of B uptake and transport under limited B conditions. B deficiency can be mitigated by inorganic fertilizer supplementation, but the deleterious impact of frequent fertilizer application disrupts soil fertility and creates environmental pollution. Considering this, we have summarized the available information regarding alternative approaches, such as root structural modification, grafting, application of biostimulators (mycorrhizal fungi (MF) and rhizobacteria), and nanotechnology, that can be effectively utilized for B acquisition, leading to resource conservation. Additionally, we have discussed several new aspects, such as the combination of grafting or MF with nanotechnology, combined inoculation of arbuscular MF and rhizobacteria, melatonin application, and the use of natural and synthetic chelators, that possibly play a role in B uptake and translocation under B stress conditions. Apart from the data obtained from agricultural reports that prove the involvement of B in plant growth and development, B often results in deficiency or toxicity because it is a unique micronutrient for which the threshold levels of deficiency and toxicity are very narrow [12]. B deficiency and excess are both widespread agricultural problems for higher plants in arid and semi-arid conditions. B deficiency was primarily observed in apples growing in Australia in the 1930s and subsequently reported in more than 132 field crops grown in sandy soils with low pH and organic matter from 80 different countries [28]. Depending on the age and species, plants manifest a wide range of deficiency symptoms, including stunted root growth, restricted apical meristem growth, brittle leaves, reduced chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity, disruption in ion transport, increased phenolic and lignin contents, and reduced crop yield [1,8,20]. The prevalence of symptoms depends on the severity of the B-deficiency condition because plants show uniform deficiency symptoms on entire leaves but sometimes in the form of isolated patches. Given the immobile nature of B, it usually accumulates in mature leaves, whereas young leaves do not receive sufficient B for proper growth. Thus, the deficiency symptoms first appear on young leaves, including thick, curled, and brittle leaves with reduced leaf expansion; corky veins; interveinal chlorosis; yellow water-soaked spots on lamina; and a short internodal distance, resulting in a bushy plant appearance [14,29,30]. In severe cases, leaf apex necrosis and leaf dieback occur [12]. The expansion of stems and petioles leads to hollow stem disorder in broccoli and stem crack symptoms in celery [1]. However, in tomato, cauliflower, apple, and citrus, scaly surface development with internal and external corking of fruits is a typical feature associated with B deficiency [13,28]. Amino acids improve plant nutrition by affecting soil microbial activity through the production of a beneficial microbial community and nutrient mineralization in the soil solution, thus enhancing micronutrient mobility [84]. Seaweed extract contains several ions, growth regulators, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and polyuronides, including alginates and fucoidans. These polyuronides can form highly cross-linked polymers and condition the soil, thereby improving the water retention and ion uptake capacity within the soil [89]. Kahydrin, a commercial seaweed component, acidifies the rhizosphere by altering the plasma membrane proton pump and secretes H+ ions that change the soil redox condition and make the metal ions available to plants, leading to improved crop production [90]. Turan and Kose [91] applied three seaweed extracts, including Maxicrop, Algipower, and Proton, on grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Karaerik) to check the ion uptake efficacy under optimal and deficient ion availability. Maximum micronutrient uptake under optimal conditions were observed with no significant difference among the three kinds of extracts. The alteration in uptake of one ion influences the availability of another ion [85], supporting the idea of B uptake through biostimulator application, but this requires further investigation. The application of biofertilizers opens new routes of ion acquisition by increasing nutrient use efficiency in plants. In this regard, mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal fungi, endosymbiotic bacteria, and plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria are important because of their dual function as microbial biostimulants and biocontrol agents. We explain the functions of these biostimulators and their possible relationship with ion acquisition in plants. Indeed, grafting and AMF inoculation improve plant physiological and nutritional aspects and a number of studies have proved their pivotal role in B uptake [74,75,79,105]. Additionally, nanotechnology is an emerging technique to solve plant-nutrition-related problems. The combination of these techniques may improve B uptake. For instance, a combination of grafting and Cu NPs improved growth and development of watermelon by increasing ion uptake [129]. Melatonin application improves plant performance by inducing resistance against stress conditions. According to a report, melatonin application reversed the toxic effect of B by moderating B accumulation in leaf and fruit, increasing photosynthetic activity, and improving dry weight that ultimately enhanced plant growth of Capsicum annuum [138]. Similarly, in watermelon, melatonin application enhanced the N concentration in roots by improving root elongation, root diameter, and root surface area under limited N availability [61]. However, no evidence for B uptake under deficient conditions has been found yet, and that requires further investigation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8508192/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34988929/

WEEK#9 DAY#56 :She could use some water . Easy going grow , slow vertical climb multi-lateral branching . I could selectively prune to encourage vertical growth but at this time I think the grow is going fine . I anticipated the plant being larger at this time athough I’ve never grown this strain before to know what to expect I think another 4-6 weeks of VEG will do her nothing but JUSTICE . Still watering to make those dry amendments available . After these 28-31 days we’ll transplant her into her final 6gallon pot . Or atleast I think that will be her final pot I see the benefit of stepping up pot size gradually and honesty think the growth is healthier when done that way I’m just being lazy and don’t feel like up-potting 3 or more times . I just wanna make small adjustments and move on ya know ? Week#9Day#56Update: 2/3 older girls showing signs of flushing, there’s heavy yellowing top of the plant & purple hues beginning to show. The two of them should have 3-4 weeks left & the buds have not even began to swell yet so I’m worried I missed my feeding time after I gave them nute burn beginning of flower so my fear is that my bud won’t swell & I’ve just jacked up my harvest the last half of flower. I’m going to try & get small amounts of nutes in there to help the bud develop without giving too much to mess up the end of flower flush . The final older girl isn’t showing any signs of flush it is the smallest of the 3 & therefore perhaps did not consume as much food as the other 2 girls is all I can think considering all three ladies soil came from the same batch of premixed “soil” they weren’t individually mixed It’s almost time to get these older girls out & get some note-worthy shots of “Cellie” growing All ALONE into this 5x5. Heavy heavy heavy defoliation. Will pony-tail when the fan leaves grow back out
