Week 12 has ended and the girls got an extremely decent purple buds.

Starting week 4 Attempting to LST two plants Will switch to Flo probably this week Feel free to give tips ! Day 26 : Transplantation + 1, only one plant is a little bit sad. Should be ok the next days

Build a soil kind of drys out fast to me so I started to use the barley straw to help with moisture but so far it seems good to go haven’t ph the water yet think imma start next week been using RO water and I’ve used spring deer park water couple times

Super stoked for last week, watching her flower is pretty incredible, so from pretty much week 9 of veg up till now I've been feeding her half strength base nutrients with fluctuating strengths of sensizym and Cal-Mag always mixed with 8L of basic filtered water. Update January 5 2020. Back from my fishing trip! Happy to say that everything with the durban is going swimmingly, I fed her today 8L with half strength base nutrients and half strength of sensizym. I will probably do one more feeding with sensizym and call it good.. in two-three weeks I will start adding my Overdrive nutrients to my base. January 11 update: Not much going. Just playing the waiting game now. More updates to follow. Update pictures daily!! Happy growing everyone!🌱👍

Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

Flushed all the girls this week seen to be getting close to harvest time now 😁😁 starting to notice more of a lovely smell this week 👌 all frosting over nicely and bulking up not sure if in going to make my target weight this time but should be some tasty smoke. Got my missile 33 plant looking nice n bushy waiting for a space in the tent think she will be a lovely plant from what I've seen so far. Roll on harvest time 🍁 peace

Flower day 5 for mainline - This lady is really stretching! Can’t wait to see what the buds look like on this!😍😍 thanks for following friends & happy growing!🌱✌️🏼

"Mens Dei" What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day to scavenge ROS made from photosynthesis. The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank it. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " A leaf can perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis simultaneously. During daylight hours, plant cells utilize both processes: photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen, and cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for the cell's needs. The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used as reactants in cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) can be used in photosynthesis. The limiting factor is the oxidative capacity; the less a leaf is utilizing photosynthesis, the less oxidative capacity it uses, and the more it can perform cellular respiration. Even if a leaf is not in an optimal photosynthetic position, it can still utilize respiration to its full capacity during daylight hours. Kinda too much info to explain when some asks if they should defoliate or not, yeah add calmag or some shit. BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs*

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

Day 7 & 2 of the NHLs still havnt popped, transplanting the one NHL that did pop today! Day 12 think 1 of the orange sherbet have nute burn so flushing it out and dropping the dose a little hopefully that helps!

Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌿✨ We’re now in Week 10 from seed, and what a journey it’s been. This week, the grow room has transformed into a breathtaking display of autumnal beauty, with the plants showcasing stunning fades and vibrant colors as they enter their final stages of life. It’s a true celebration of nature’s cycles, and the energy in the room is palpable. Let’s dive into this epic week! 🌟 Week 10 Highlights 🌟 The plants are embracing their last days with grace, each one revealing a unique spectrum of colors and expressions. The transition to 12/12 light cycle continues to push them toward their full potential, all thanks to the Big Demon, who’s still leading the charge with her massive stature. Here’s a closer look at what’s been happening: 1. Moon Rock 🚀: • Appearance: Moon Rock is a sight to behold, with her compact buds now radiating deep purples and blues. The fading leaves add a touch of gold and burgundy, creating a gorgeous contrast. • Maturity: Trichomes are nearing their peak, with a beautiful mix of milky and amber hues. The plant is exuding a rich, earthy aroma that’s both soothing and powerful. • Notes: Moon Rock’s structure remains solid, with every bud dense and resinous. She’s almost ready to harvest, but we’re giving her a bit more time to fully mature and express her genetics. 2. Opium 🌸: • Appearance: Opium has embraced the autumn spirit with a stunning display of fiery reds, oranges, and purples. The buds are heavy, covered in a thick layer of trichomes, and the leaves are curling into a final, beautiful farewell. • Maturity: The buds are at their densest, with pistils mostly curled and darkened. The scent is intoxicating, with sweet and spicy notes filling the room. • Notes: Opium is reaching her final form, with the fade adding to her allure. She’s almost ready to give up her bounty, and we’re closely watching the trichomes to catch the perfect harvest moment. 3. Big Demon 💪: • Appearance: Big Demon continues to dominate, with her towering colas still swelling and gaining density. Her leaves are just beginning to show signs of fade, with a mix of deep greens and light yellows starting to emerge. • Maturity: She’s not quite there yet, still pushing out new growth and adding weight to her massive buds. The trichomes are mostly clear, indicating that she’s got more to give before she’s ready. • Notes: Big Demon is the reason we switched to 12/12, and she’s proving to be worth the wait. Her potential is enormous, and we’re excited to see how much more she’ll develop in the coming weeks. 🌟 The Beauty of the Fade 🌟 This week, the grow room has become a canvas of color, with each plant expressing its own unique fade: • Moon Rock: Deep purples and blues with a touch of gold. • Opium: Fiery reds, oranges, and purples, creating a warm, autumnal palette. • Big Demon: Still mostly green, but with hints of yellow signaling the beginning of her fade. The fade is not just a visual treat—it’s also a sign that the plants are nearing the end of their life cycle. As the leaves lose their chlorophyll, they reveal the hidden pigments underneath, resulting in the stunning colors we see now. It’s a reminder of the natural process of life, death, and renewal, all happening within the grow room. 🌟 Environmental and Nutrient Strategy 🌟 We’re continuing with our tried-and-true strategy: • Water: • TDS: 400 ppm • pH: 6.2 • Temperature: 18°C • Grow Room Conditions: • Temperature: 30.3°C • Relative Humidity (RH): 51% The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED is still our powerhouse, providing the perfect light spectrum for these final weeks. The TrolMaster Hydro X controller keeps the environment stable, ensuring that the plants have everything they need to finish strong. 🌟 Reflecting on the Journey 🌟 As we approach the end of this run, it’s amazing to see how far the plants have come. From tiny seeds to these magnificent, flowering beauties, it’s been a journey of growth, learning, and appreciation for the magic of cultivation. Each plant has its own story, and the fades we’re witnessing now are like the final chapter of a well-written novel. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 • Monitoring Maturity: We’re keeping a close eye on the trichomes and the overall appearance of the plants to determine the perfect harvest window. • Final Feed Adjustments: We’re starting to consider a flush for the plants that are nearing harvest, ensuring the smoothest, cleanest smoke possible. • Harvest Preparations: With harvest just around the corner, we’re getting everything ready for a seamless transition from plant to drying room. Thank you for following along on this incredible journey. The finish line is in sight, and we can’t wait to share the final results with you all! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #Week10FromSeed #Week7Flower #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Je me fais plaisir à cultiver cette souche qui m'offre une véritable joie en tant que cultivateur Arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 5 millilitres de Hesi bloom 2 millilitres de Hesi boost, 2.5 millilitres de Hesi phosphorus

Still stretching like crazy and no flower or sex showing in site Had a little fun with the filter 🤪 My ec at that moment was at 0.8-0.9

Getting ready for the switch to 12/12 and looking good starting to have a nice smell about the tent all ready cupla little experiments as ye can see in the video a think 1 might make it ✊

Trying some experiments with my trellis and getting ready to flip into flower. Watch the video for the update.

Esta variedad me encanta, huelen genial y sus cogollos son super densos y llenos de resina siempre. Poca tolerancia a los excesos y es muy fácil de estresar. A pesar de todo sigue siendo una de mis variedades favoritas ya que su aroma old school con toques ácidos me fascina!. Actualizaré luego del secado y después notas de humo. Saludos!

Ehi ragazzi è già passata una settimana e neanche me ne sono reso conto! Si vede che l erba che sto fumando è bella potente per farmi rimanere in uno spazio/tempo non ben definito! Apparte questo divagamento, posso dire che i nutrienti stanno facendo effetto! La ragazza sembra che stia crescendo davvero bene , ogni settimana raddoppia le dimensioni circa , ora siamo già al quarto paio di foglie laterali e ho intenzione probabilmente in settimana di mettere la rete per iniziare a direzionare le piante,in modo da avere più cime possibilmente uniformi, ma soprattutto, avendo il problema dell altezza, cercherò di fare in modo che rimangano più basse possibile , dovrò studiare un metodo per farlo senza stressarle troppo e senza utilizzare tagli e toppature che in un autofiorente,necessiterebbero di troppo tempo per recuperare dal taglio e quindi la resa sarebbe minore,... Bene siamo solo all inizio e non vedo l ora di vedere come cresceranno queste ragazze magiche ! La luce FC E 300l è davvero impressionante! La sto usando al 50 % della potenza e devo dire che stanno crescendo in modo molto rigoglioso tutte le ragazze in modo uniforme anche ai lati, la luce è molto ben distribuita rispetto alla TS 1000 che avevo in precedenza , che nonostante tutto ha fatto il suo dovere e lo continuerà a fare in modo più che egregio! Buon 420 a tutti alla prossima settimana! 💪👊😉

After 2 weeks with a temperature of 14°, i maneged to bring that up to 22 degrees, now the plant is growing fast and healty
