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, a oxidant formed during photosynthesis. Carotenoids also quench triplet chloryphyll, 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 photos. Beta-carotene is most prevalent provitamin A carotenoid, commonly found in orange and yellow fruits and such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and mangos. Additional carotenoids include lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which possess antioxidant and photoprotective properties. In, Vitamin A exists in the form of carotenoids, are pigments responsible for. Vitamin A is classified as a soluble vitamin. Vitamin B plays a crucial role in plant growth and development, serving as a coenzyme in numerous metabolic reactions underpin plant growth and maintenance. It aids in metabolizing essential nutrients for growth and development and enhances their responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Vitamin B supports root development, reducing transplant shock, and promotes shoot growth, particularly in slow-growing plants Vitamin B1, also as thiamine diphosate, is integral to pathways such as glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Vitamin B3, or nicotinamide/niacin, acts as a biostimulant, improving growth and. Vitamin B6 functions as an antioxidant and cofactor, playing a significant role in plant. Vitamin C, referred to as ascorbic acid is another vital nutrient for plants, aiding in growth and offering protection against excessive light. It serves as a red buffer, crucial for regulating synthesis. Vitamin C assists enzymes involved in photosynthesis, hormone production, and the regeneration of antioxidants. Furthermore, it acts as coenzyme in the xanthophyll cycle, converting energy into heat to protect plants light-induced damage. RAW GROW is a thoroughly tested blend all RAW Soluble plant nutrients essential elements, and supplements as an optimal all base "Grow" horticultural fertilizer. It is utilized throughout the entire vegetative stage. Its composition includes plant protein hydrolysate, mono potassium phosphate, potassium sulfate, cane molasses, sodium borate, copper sulfate, iron DTPA, magnesium sulfate, manganese sulfate sulfate, and azomite. Additionally, it contains non- food ingredients such as humic acids derived from leonardite and peat, kelp (Ascophyllumosum silicon dioxide derived diatomite, and yucca extract. Seedlings or young plants can be fed with 200-400PpM, teenage plants with maturing root zone can be given 350-550 PPM, and mature plants require 600-1000 PPM. By closely monitoring plant growth and adjusting feeding levels, one can an understanding of the quantity to provide When starting, it is advisable to err on the side of caution and adopt a "less is more" approach. One-thousandth of a gram is one milligram, and 1000 ml is one liter, so 1 ppm = 1 mg per liter = mg/Liter. PPM is derived from the fact that the density of water is taken as 1kg/L = 1,000,000 mg/L, and 1mg/L is 1mg/1,000,000mg or one part in one million.

This week, I continued growing 4 WestCoast OG plants. The plants are feeling better day by day and have reached 78 days since planting the seeds. The care routine included: Watering every other day, 1 liter per plant. The water solution contained flowering fertilizer NPK 3-5-8 (10 ml/L) and organic super-concentrate fertilizer (5 ml/L). I noticed that the flower buds on the closer plants have significantly enlarged. The further plant, which was lagging in flowering, has caught up and now reaches a height of around 45 cm, with small 10 mm diameter flowers. One interesting observation - I found a mutation on one of the leaves, from which a small flower is growing that is not increasing in size. Next week, I plan to: Continue watering the plants with the same fertilizer solutions. Stop spraying the leaves to avoid the risk of mold on the buds. Closely monitor the temperature, as it's starting to drop outside and the room is not insulated. If the temperature falls below 18°C, the plant growth may slow down. Overall, the plants continue to develop at a good pace, and I expect to be able to harvest in 10-14 days.

This shorty is packing a punch. She's caught right up to the other ladies in the tent in guessing because of the bud ignitor I pounded her with. The buds are way more of a sativa variety then the other...sativas in the tent...if that makes sense. I can't see how they will be longer and the canopy is open to allow light in naturally. The smell is rather strong. I'm really looking forward to harvesting these buds for a nice wake and bake on a Sunday morning. I've only recently found my appreciation for the medical benefits of the sativa plant. Cheers to good things to come .

This week has gone great! Apricot auto has taken very well to the topping,feedings and the low stress training. I must say,it’s a very resilient cultivar. Very excited to see the flower she produces.

Una semana muy tranquila, nada en especial . Máximo fue quitar tres o cuatro hojas por planta que hacian mucha sombra. Una semana viendo engordar los cogollos :-) A very quiet week, nothing special. At most, I removed three or four leaves per plant that were casting too much shade. A week watching the buds fatten up :-)

-mom- So I had a tiny problem with my plant (the mom). pests. this is the problem I have with soil. tiny little cuntz. I don't know their name. tbh not interested. I've had them before. they suck the sap from leaves leaving tiny lighter spots (check vid if interested) so I gave an aggressive foliar spray. then I watched a movie, smoked some bowls and fell asleep before washing residue. the lights came on and before I was even awake the light was burning spots on my leaves. I was kinda bummed out. it's not serious, I know she will recover so I wasn't too worried but one never likes to see plants with problems. to me personally the eyesore physically hurts. plus this could have been avoided so it annoys even more. the good news is no more pests. I can't see them and the new leaves don't have the tell tale sign these suckers leave. all good today I went to water her and first pistils. I was kinda expecting that to happen since days are getting shorter (13.5 hours of wich only about 3 are DIRECT sunlight) but I was also hoping she would hold off for another week at least since I still don't have real estate for her under the lights. I'mma hold off 4 or 5 days and put her and her clones under the light so they can flower out in style. nature calls one must oblige. Besides I don't like when plants flower and reveg and reflower. all kinds of weirdness happens, messes up their structure. -clones- I cut 2 clones and stuck 'em in same 3" rockwool cube. I had never done so but I only had room for the one pot. I did so because I only had 4 weeks to veg something out to replace the ak47 that flowered and I dripped off in the woods (didn't abandoned her, I still go and cater to her needs every 3 days) so I needed a plant fast and thought two plants in one pot would dramatically save veg time and I might just make it) my idea was to simulate a mainline but each clone would be half of a traditional mainline shooting 4 tops each. unfortunately one of the clones rooted much quicker and it screwed up the simmetry I was after. Now I'm thinking maybe one side will have 6 tops and the other 4. I'm pushing it a bit hopefully I won't regret this decision since I'm very limited in the grow space I have. one has to be resourceful in dealing with such problem. Apart from that clones are doing great. vigorous growth and just beautiful foliage. in 2 or 3 days I'll step them up into a new home. a 20 liter fabric pot. can't wait to see her flowers and experience the aroma she has to offer. I'm really looking forward to growing this strain. LETS GROWWWW !!! 💪👨‍🚒👊

Und weiter gehts. Hat ein paar Blattläuse. Habe den Ventilator umgestellt und noch einen bestellt! Blattläuse bãh. Da. Blattlåuse, ich machs euch unbequem... 😛 Ok, nur noch 2 Ventilatoren. Fragt nicht. Ich sage nur Mitbewohnerin. War ja eh ihrs. SEUFZ Ok neuer Monkey fan und der alte. Zusammen bringen die was. Keine Blattläuse zu sehen, nach 4 tagen Wind. Yes! Am 001.009.021 ist sie seit 5 Wochen in der Blüte. HALBZEIT. Und weil ich ja DER CHAOSGROWER!! schlechthin bin. Wird mein geliebtes Pflänzchen in ca 4 Wochen für eine Woche ausziehen. Grund ist ne völlig ausser rand und band geratene andere photo period Pflanze, die sich da irgendwie reingeschlichen hat. Und die muss! Mit aktiv Kohle filter Trocknen . Deswegen gibts n kleines technikupgrade, denn das ausweich quartier braucht ja auch Licht. Too optimistic. Aphids re still there. But I think they re getting fewer. ..

So first run back and we finished. Happy with the results but know I could have done a lot better. But overall like this strain. It puts out about .9 grams of rosin for every 7g smashed. Taste good and smooth. Burns white. Lower thc effects but I think having my lights to strong late harvest was more the issue.
