👋 Raising the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the growing medium to avoid over-immobilizing nitrogen, on the flip side, being careful not to trigger early autophagy. Moderate, controlled increases in sugar support the energetic demands of flowering and act as a signal trigger, but excess sugar is more likely to inhibit flowering or damage the plant. Balance, like everything else. Visually, when the chloryphyll green gets darker, it is a subtle indicator that the concentration of nitrogen is increasing / more is being stored than is being used. Noticed when you push very high intensity lighting, it slowly fades the green as the plant degrades chloryphyll faster than it can be replenished. When the green of the leaf continually gets darker, it is an indication that the concentration levels of nitrogen are increasing, and I dont want to increase light intensity. Slow down the release of the nitrogen. C:N ratio dictates the rate at which nitrification occurs, if at all. The Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio acts as a critical biological "on/off switch" (or regulator) for nitrogen turnover by determining whether microbes immobilize (consume/tie up) or mineralize (release) nitrogen during the breakdown of organic matter. This ratio regulates microbial activity by defining the balance between available energy (carbon) and building materials (nitrogen). The C:N ratio in a medium acts as a critical regulator of nitrification, effectively functioning as an "on/off" switch for the dominance of either autotrophic nitrifying bacteria or heterotrophic bacteria. The shade of green in chlorophyll is subtly linked to the enzyme Rubisco through a co-evolutionary, functional relationship designed to optimize photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light for energy, reflecting green light, a process that ensures the "light-dependent" reactions provide the correct, controlled amount of energy (ATP and NADPH) needed by Rubisco to perform its "light-independent" carbon fixation. Because Rubisco is a relatively inefficient and slow enzyme—often considered the bottleneck of photosynthesis—chlorophyll and the overall structure of the leaf have evolved to manage energy distribution to prevent overwhelming the Calvin cycle. While chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light, it is not perfectly efficient, and leaves appear green because some green light is reflected or transmitted. This reflection allows light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, preventing the surface chloroplasts from becoming overloaded and enabling a more efficient distribution of energy to the high volume of Rubisco located throughout the leaf's mesophyll. The rate of chlorophyll-driven electron transport (light reactions) is matched to the potential rate of carbon fixation (Rubisco activity). If Rubisco were faster, leaves might be darker; however, the "shade of green" represents a balance that prevents chlorophyll from producing more energy than the inefficient Rubisco can process. The green color itself is a byproduct of a photosynthetic system tailored to feed a slow, yet crucial, enzyme (Rubisco) just enough energy to maximize carbon assimilation without inducing excessive oxidative stress or inefficiency. The shade of green in leaves is directly linked to the concentration of chlorophyll, which is in turn strongly correlated with the amount of Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and, consequently, the rate of carbon fixation. Darker green leaves generally indicate a higher concentration of both chlorophyll and Rubisco, signifying greater capacity for photosynthesis. Increase demand for growth or reduce rate of release. I'm looking to keep that nice, healthy green.

3 days late into update... personal issues... All girls doing great , sweet and sour is the only one experiencing some gold color on the leaves so i didnt feed anything after the last flush. Sweet deep grape - amazing scent, its like i can smell berries and grape mixed together Sweet and sour + strawberry - very sweet very fruity, similar to grape but here i can also feel some pineapple with mango, crazy Remo chemo - nothing too strong but very sweet Ayahuasca - nuts and petrol, she actualy stinks so i am afraid i wont like it Og kush- amazing , sticky and greasy and huge buds, amazing orange color and very sweet scent Blue medi kush - reminds me of my mega, hashy smell to it with sweet undertones, i blv i will love it Og candy dawg and grandaddy both have rockhard structure and smell similar, grandaddy is kinda more hashy like though Amazing garden this time, really is I am very happy with where i am today and i give compliments to every seedbank i am currently growing, it feels great to be your friend. I respect you all and its my pleasure to show the world a bunch of different strains 💪

She is coming to the end now. Big fat juicy buds and a crazy sweet smell. I alreadt know this will be a good one. I will chop her this week and then update with a harvest and smoke report in a few weeks.

Cheese is just about done flushing. I will be cutting her down in less than a week. The smell is very pungent and it is covered in trichromes.

.

Even tho there is a slight defiency they are smelling and looking amazing Not long until harvest now.

In der fünften Blütewoche bricht bei der Blue Lobster von Cipher Genetics die entscheidende Phase an, und die exklusive Genetik aus Blueberry x Banana x Blue Lobster zeigt jetzt ein ganz besonderes Phänomen. Das absolute Hauptaugenmerk liegt in dieser Phase auf der beginnenden Reife der Harzdrüsen, bei der sich auf den prallen Knospen zunehmend ein charakteristischer, intensiv gelblicher Trichomteppich bemerkbar macht, der fast wie feiner Blütenstaub wirkt. Diese dichte Puderzuckerschicht überzieht die massiven Blütencluster, während die Buds unaufhaltsam weiter anschwellen, an Dichte gewinnen und langsam eine minimale, leichte bläuliche Färbung annehmen. Das komplexe, fruchtig-süße Terpenprofil dieser Kreuzung kommt immer deutlicher durch, und das stabile, tiefe Blattgrün zeigt, dass die Nährstoffversorgung perfekt balanciert ist. Die Lady läuft absolut am Limit ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit und baut genau die klebrige High-End-Qualität auf, die man von dieser Genetik erwartet.

O

No work has been done to these they all shaped and sculpted their self this way 16 Days in to flowering going great C has got a flat steam going on and getting 3 bud sites on each side Flower's are all coming through nicely

Very rough week. I noticed discoloration of fan leaves which led to a lot of different deficiencies. Thought I was going to lose my plants.

Great progress being made at a really fast rate. The orange sherbert are starting to catch up with the POG and the buds look like they’re gonna be big and fat. All OS fairly short bar one, all developing at breakneck speed bar one, but all looking great and like they’ll produce gold. Barneys Farm truly do have some great genetics going on, I’ve been so pleased watching every strain I’ve grown from them. In the past I’ve noticed a similar vigour with cookies kush and with gorilla Zkittlez. Anyhow, all moving nicely in the tent, if only it reflected on life in general😣😂 Really looking forward to tasting these girls now. In week 4 they’ve shown the kind of size they’re gonna reach, I think I’m doing better than previous grows but I kind of always think that or at least hope it and alas again I am a smoker and am prone to over exaggeration especially when comparing two ladies, you gotta be careful not to offend either one ya kna!😉😬

As I said, she has become a single fat dense and sticky main cola, very compacted, looks like it's just 1 huge fat nugget. Very nice aroma but not stinky at all. I'm enjoying her, she's not very big but she's literally a single big fat nugget.

day 26 of flower, gorgeous plant very unique leaf structure, and tall as hell, the experiment of topping on say 4 of flower seems to be paying off, i’m very happy with it at this height. looks like the beginning of anthocyanin breakdown are occuring in the fan leaves

True punch for you :) Best choice for indica lover

Máme tu dosť silné búrky so silným vetrom.rastlina 1 dostala zabrať.jeden konár spadnutý na zemi,ale nebol zlomený.použil som pletivo ako podporu.stále vyzerajú ok.dnes posledné kŕmenie .držte im palce.mier

Week 9 - Day 58 - 02/23 to 2/28 2021 All phone pictures. Go off site to my instagram for HD/DSLR content: https://www.instagram.com/glazedgrow/ Very excited if this is just the first bulk week because it's easily the biggest main bud I've seen so far/still a couple weeks left on it. New lights killing it. Great Candy/Citrus smell to it / Very similar to the Dark Devil beside it in profile/build structure. Gave all the plants mostly water feeds this week in order to avoid salt build up. Some staining on the bottom of the fabric pots from the bottom feeds so just making sure the soil is fine for the final major nute feeds before flushing in a week or so. Made some caps with homemade thc olive oil from a friend that sent me some "Intergalactic Cable" viewing materials as well 😎 Have to use them fast but been stable for a week and not just starting to come through the gel caps, will have to get something harder next time still a lot left in the bottle. Still clear signs of the Tobacco Mosaic/Genetic issue in the leaves but clearly not affecting anything else, might tip the top of the bud when i start the flush to have it back build on itself and see how dense I can make it once it's dried. Other than that, the new @MarsHydroLED TSL 2000 and @ViparSpectraLED PS1500 for veg definitely made a huge difference and the buds on the Dark Devil. Big thanks to @ViparspectraJennie for putting a new XS1000 in the mail to test on my next grow. The FB testers finally came in so excited to get some of those in the tent and under the new tester. *Sponsored Content* Feel free to check out/save some money on your next @ViparSpectraLED using discount code "GLAZEDGROW" at this link: https://www.viparspectra.com/?aff=378&utm_source=affiliate (Again check out my insta, very limited quality content will be posted here) Thanks for checking out the latest #GlazedGrow🍩 -- Go off site and check out my Instagram for better content: https://www.instagram.com/glazedgrow/ Go off site and check out my CannaBuzz profile: https://www.cannabuzz.app/users/GlazedGrow

Has been very dry, some cold nights this week and high humidity which is a recipe for PM. I found a few on old fan leafs had a few small spots starting so I remove them. My bubble gum plant seems to be hit the hardest which its still not too bad yet but I think it's having a hard time because I got hit by that tree branch. So in a preventative effort I got a UVC light, and I made up baking soda and peroxide solution and sprayed the plants down. I kind of got aggressive with it because I really don't wanna lose these plants. I hit them with the UVC light once then the next morning it was rainy and stuff so I said fuck it they're wet anyway I might as well spray them so I made a baking soda and peroxide solution and then the next morning it was still rainy and I put a little more baking soda than I thought I did. So I made one more peroxide solution to rinse it off. Then I hit the plant with one more UV treatment. Three days later I don't see any pm back, but I do see some damage to the leaves from my treatment so it was a little powerful and some of the hairs turn orange from the lake but I'm not worried about that. It's looking like this is gonna be early harvest, and after my work clothes with my indoor stuff, I'm thinking most of this is going to be pressed into rosin if i make there. Buds are developing nice and look really good. They are super frosty and hoping it's helping protect it. I don't see any signs of bud rot yet.

Fresh haircut, bigger home, and a few days to settle in. She's looking a little scruffy now, but the comeback has already started. 💚

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/01/2020 - One more week to go ! Trichomes still transparent. 01/02/2020 - Gave her 1,5l RO water

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨
