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.

Week -3 of flowering Stage 91 Octane is massive and looking the forming of her pistals and trichromes is very satisfying. Banana Daddy is also starting her blooming phase you can see her pistals in the video. The last Sugae Cane lates in flowering. She still doesn’t sign or start to see no pistals but she grow healthy and happy.

Eccoci qui... Non ho più parole per giudicare questa meraviglia!!! Strain 1 è la migliore varietà che io abbia mai coltivato, nel processo di maturazione delle cime ho visto qualcosa di assurdo in quanto questa piccola ha una maturazione totalmente diversa rispetto a tutte le altre erbe!!! Sono davvero soddisfatto, peccato che Strain 2 sia cresciuta storta, ma poco importa anche essa ha cime che sono dure come sassi, e sono solo 4 settimane di’ fioritura, NE VEDREMO DELLE BELLE!!! Grazie a @KhalifaGenetics e @xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

I probably won't grow this strain again, just due to the growing difficulties, short lifespan, and low yield, although the bud is definitely quality. I learned a lot as this was my first grow, and the next I'm hoping for better yield quantities.

In dieser Woche hat die Pflanze das komplette Zelt ordentlich ausgefüllt und hat sich auch ganz gut gestreckt. Am Ende der Woche habe ich ihr ein bischen die Beine rasiert um eine bessere Luftzirkulation zu gewährleisten. Einen schluck Bio PK 5-8 hat sie an dem Tag auch noch bekommen.

Day 57 26/08/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. No plagron products as noticed burning again. (I think I'll do a run using advanced. And Plagron. Just to see what's different. ) Showing great progress!! I did a little defoliation of lower two fans that started to turn in colour. Apart from that left them to it ✌️💚 Day 59 28/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today, 400ml with little to no run off. Day. 61 30/08/24 Friday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with Plagron products. Picture and videos coming tonight 🤯👀✌️💚 Day 63 01/09/24 Sunday (End of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with calmag.

April 25, 2020/Day 15: I applied LST/tipped her over today and defoliated one leaf. April 25/Day 16: EEEEEeeee I watered with the wrong container, giving her tap water, fresh out of the tap. Chlorinated and all. :D I chased it with 2 litres of proper 6.5 PH. April 27/Day 17: Defoliated 2 leaves and reapplied LST. She is growing like ground coverage, especially after LST. :D I think it's safe to plant a third seed in my small tent. She looks small. Maybe she will surprise me and start taking off in growth. :) This is the smallest plant I've seen at Day 17. May 1 @1pm/Day 21: Topped her at her highest point May 1 @ 11pm/EOD 21: Defoliated 4 more leaves and applied LST to all of the tops

First off - Welcome to my first grow diary. I’m just a low-key home cultivator running everything for personal medicinal use—no big commercial vibes here. Been dialing in grows for years now, and I’ve long since moved on from the seed roulette wheel. These days I stick to legit, certified genetics from solid sources. Nothing beats the consistency and predictability of running a clean mono-crop—all clones from the same mother, uniform canopy, uniform finish. Way less guesswork, way more control. Let’s see how this round plays out. Potted up the rooted clones from cuts taken 13 days ago from sugar factory mother. Look pretty rough at the moment but I trust the process.

11/12 start of week 3 of flower hoping she is done stretching cus I'm out of room when it comes to height. Gave all the goodies plus added Fulpower and molasses 11/15 stretching seems to have stopped. Dropped humidity and raised vpd to stay around 1.5 super cropped the main top to be more level with all the side branches that are pretty uniform and cranked ppfd to the tallest top to 1000 ppfd

I am very proud of this girl ! Despite the fact that she is younger than the rest by two weeks, she caught up with her friends in height and even surpassed them :) The giant fan leaves are surprising 😃

12/17/23 - Day 41 - It flipped to flower today. I didn't document it via video because it's just like all the other videos. Except this change uses different level of the nutes for Flowering. Alot of the bud sites have tons of pistles on them. The plant itself is so round and bushy. The plants branches are very close together. There is a video up there of me using the software to change from veg. to flower. I'll update you tomorrow once the lights come on. Now I only get 12 hrs of light instead of 18. 12/18/23 - Day 42 - FLOWER POWER! Look at those flowers starting to form! It looks amazing!!!!! I think starting from a good seed is better than a clone. If this ends up better than the last grow..... it's already off to a better start. The leaves looks super healthy. 12/23/23 - Day 47 - What a WEEK! The whole family got sick and I was the lone ranger on the battlefield taking care of all the units! So posting had to take a back seat! I did manage to grab some pictures during those days. I posted them up top. This week is the first week of Flower, and its going great! As you can see in the pictures that the buds are starting to take off from the bushy part of the plant. I installed a second Scrogg net, the buds are already starting to launch upwards and I can tell they are going to need some support as they get bigger. The Leaf box has been taking great care of the nutes, humidity, temp, and lighting. There is only one thing that I have had to do manually. Toward the last day of the week, the day before the water change the PH seems to dip down to 5.5. It's not a bad thing to be there for a couple of hours, but it is the lowest range I would ever let PH go in a hydroponic (DWC) setup. I have been adding 2 cap fulls of PH+ to get the PH in check. To be honest, adding 2 caps full of PH+ once a week is NOTHING. I feel like it's the least I could do. The box is creating the perfect environment. It's the perfect Cannabis Oasis, I treat my girls to the finest of living before the end. :) Happy growing and I'll post again after the water change tomorrow! If you like this experience and would like to have the same one, you can order your Leaf system from www.GetLeaf.co. (full disclosure, I paid in full for my Leaf unit. I was a Kickstarter backer back in 2017 this is not an advertisement, this is real life)

Empezamos (Día 8) nuestra segunda semana de vegetación de nuestras Sweet Seeds Tropicanna Poison XL. Tienen 13 días de vida desde la germinación y se están regando con un pulverizador con agua de osmosis con CALMAG. Las plantas están creciendo sanas y fuertes y están empezando a desarrollar sus primeras hojas de verdad. Estamos emocionados de ver cómo se desarrollan en las próximas semanas. 👽
