Hi everyone 😊          This will be a very short final grow report.. It wasn't a very lucky cycle, especially because I paid very little attention because principally it was taken from other plants and also unfortunately as you can see I couldn't bring anything else that a video and no photos🙄..        All this has an answer.. In practice, a friend whom I had not seen for a long time and without thinking, arrived since I wanted to relax a bit during his stay..gave all this Girl Scout..                           I was able to test about a little more than a gram..   A little steamed, about 0.3, and the rest all in a joint, what you saw in the video🙂..                              Unfortunately everything happened very quickly on I was not able to take the final photos..        The smoke test fortunately I had done the night before..              So sorry but for this diary no photos😞🙌..                                                I will not go too far on the story of the cult because as said before it was done a bit randomly..  This strain however is potentially quite productive and vigorous..  Despite the various stresses and with very poor lighting it has managed to produce 14g of flowers with a very strong perfume..                                         The flavor is quite earthy , with sweet-woods notes but with the fairly relevant presence of the ruderalis gene that gives it a slightly "strong" bitter taste..  At least that's the way it is for me..                                                    I'm used to regular or feminized strains, maybe that's why I feel it very much🤔..    In the end of the day.. It's still a good strain..              The seeds may be a little expensive, but for those who do not pretend too much, it can be more than good..                      In total from seed to harwest, the time spent was about 85 days..    Always at 18/6 light on/off..                                     The smoke test was carried out with organic raw papers and filter, only grass as I think it should normally be😎😉👌..       My friend smoking it with tobacco did not feel that strong taste, like smoking without being mixed.. Reason why I always say who tobacco or blunt falsify the flavor too significantly, going to mask both negative and positive notes, altering the final experience🙌..                                           Everyone rightly consumes as best I think🤗..                                    But I personally believe that the cannabis, to savor it in the its fullness and to enjoy 100% of its beneficial effects, it is convenient to consume it alone as it appears..   Pure🌱..  The ideal is with a vaporizer🚭.. Using the latter (between 180 ° and 195 °, mighty) it is still quite present a "rough" aftertaste that in mix with the already earthy flavor already present, does not leave me a good taste on the palate..                                               As an effect, however, is a line with a classic indica, quite relaxing and not invasive on a mental level.. Effect not too prolonged but present..                                               Nothing too strong anyway.. Overall it is a good strain, but considering the time taken to get to the end of the cycle by comparing it with a random photoperiod indica in relation to the hours of light for yield and general quality, I am even more inclined to choose plants feminized or regular..                           I still find the autoflowering interesting and certainly from what I see in the other diaries, Fast bud works well👍..                                             Maybe I will try another cultivar with their strains, managing the situation better..   See you on other diaries, already now😉..   Thanks for the support🙏.. Bye ✌️

DAY63 WEEK9 = Impatiently waiting till harvest time 😘 Beautiful to enjoy the plants ripening and finishing 😍😍😍 Congrats to BIOTABS, because their tablest are really superb 🙏 I'm super satisfied 😁😁😁 Wedding Gelato, Triple G, and Cookies Gelato are completely ripe.👍😃 All their buds are rockhard 💪😖 👉 Cookies Gelato have become completely purple with beautiful piled buds and orange pistils, and looks delicious. Smells of berries and 😵 👉 Wedding Gelato has round buds (easy to trim) with mixed colors : gold, brass, brown, yellow, red and green colors with orange pistils 😊 Fine and accessible smell, pleasant and no overbearing 😄 🙏 👉 Triple G will be the hardest to trim, because of her quirky shaped buds. She has big internodes and big buds scattered across her tall sturdy stalks. Beautiful buds, a pleasure for the eyes. Her smell is pungent, sometimes narcotic even. She will get you stoned in no time 😋 👉 Liberty Haze could have another week. But she lacks some nitrogen; watch her leaves turn yellow, and make her taste sooo soft 👻 She hasn't any purple or red colors, only green and yellow. Her buds are leafy, not that firm, but volumineus. She's soo sweet, with hints of lime. 😘 I defoliated the plants in week 3 because I had to treat the plants against spider mites. Because of this, the plants had fewer leaves, the light could penetrate much deeper and now the lower buds are ripen as well 🙏. I will continue to apply this technique in the future. 👍👍👍 These will be the last pictures before harvesting 😍

On the final few days of a 10 day flush. Will be chopping down this week to harvest and hang dry. Really excited to try this one. The smells in the room are unreal.

What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

we got one good ☀️ day this week. I lifted da plant up, removed da second bulb & still angry that it's been 12 weeks 🤯

Día :1 iniciamos este seguimiento de estas variedades toda germinaron en 3 días Día 5 desde puesta en sustrato Solo pulverizó 1 no sobrevivió pero las 2 salieron sin problemas

Plants reacting well to topping and LST , I’m preparing them to tradition into flower !

Spearbuds, aka donkey Dicks, start to fill up

Great week. Everything is going amazing. Plants have gotten huge in size. So far biggest auto I have grown, hopefully all goes well. I'm smelling lemon starting

Seconda settimana di fioritura si è allungata la mia bella. Iniziano a profumare bene...sto notando che i nutrienti di Advance nutrient dati per via fogliare funzionano davvero bene... complimenti anche ad Advanced nutrient

Well I missed a week was going to shut down this grow as the plants were not doing anything all the deformed leaves were making it so the plant was using all its energy on fixing the deformed leaves so slowly I pulled off all the deformed leaves witch took me 2 weeks and there is still a few left now . Finally they seem to be growing again after almost 3 weeks of being stunted. Had plans of flowering them next week but there way 2 small so I will have wait probably 3 extra weeks . This grow is a good grow to show people what not to do. Will do an overview of the whole grow at the end of flower saying what I would do differently next time so these problems don't happen again . Oh yah and when I flushed the plants I did not flush them good enough and they were still being over feed for for 2 weeks .

D-89 : Every thing is going great till now ! I wish they grew a bit more, but still 2cm/week is not that bat as long as they continue to get fatter, and they do :) Raised Calmag from 0.5 to 0.8ml/l

Everything is going great, just waiting on flower tent to finish & these ladies will be going straight into flower😍✌️🏼🌱 Day 40 first day of flower, everything seems to be going ok so far! Day 41 Can see they are starting to stretch!😍

So she was chopped (wet trimmed) yesterday (F74) and is now hanging up to dry at 55% RH and temps between 15 and 18ºc. I made fresh frozen dry ice hash today using a 160 micron bubble bag, a flat surface, 8kg of dry ice and a couple 5 gal buckets. I already have the weights for that, which far exceeded my expectations. Those figures I will post once she is dried and in 1 quart screw top glass jars. People suppose dry ice hash is inferior quality vs bubble hash. I am not experienced enough to comment on that but must say it is extremely easy to make hash with dry ice, it took 40 mins to process 995g of trim which included sugar leaves, some stems and popcorn buds. I then pressed it into 3.5g briquettes for storage using a pollen press. As you can see from videos, this stuff is all blonde - and after already trying some today with some friends, it knocked our boots off! Will be back in 5-7 days with harvest figures, smoke analysis and other details! Happy growing all! P.s I ticked defoliation this week - the only week I intentionally cut any leaves off for the entire grow 😉

This report covers the previous gap week and current observations. • One pollen-producing plant has started releasing pollen. • Pollen is being actively collected for future controlled pollination. • Preliminary trials of pollination have begun, though it is still early for reliable seed set. Structural management and canopy maintenance were performed according to standard protocols. The population remains under close observation to maximize genetic diversity for the seed run.

The screen is slowly filling up! I will admit the ScrOG method is a little more work than other LST/HST, but I love messing with my plants anyway. Its like solving a puzzle trying to find the next spot to pop up a cola. The Lucas method is going great. Still no water changes, and I haven't had issues with algae or root rot. Some people report their reservoir smelling bad without water changes, but all I smell is ganja 😀
