FBA2501-week 1 of Veg This week has been wild. Once the roots made a foundation the upper growth has been explosive the last few days. Really cool to watch and see the daily growth. I introduce calmag and grow nutrients this week starting at a 1/4 strength. All in all they've responded well showing no burn what so ever. Happy

Starting week 7

Apple Pie. mmmmmm 👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrification process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work

This week has been one of them weeks so basically they got big and I had to make them shorter so I did this hopefully they recover 🤞🏻

Sour wiz is still in it’s stretching phase. Growing at maybe more then 1” a day. Bunch of white hairs coming out and small buds starting to form. The white stuff on my plants is a cal carb foliage spray by xtreme gardening. After 30-40 hrs it rinses off with a decent application of just water. I also added more light to the bottom of my canopy because I’m sick of low bud production down low. If it’s gonna be popcorn nugs they can at least be super resin covered popcorn nugs. Roughly around an extra 160w of led/cfl lights . Helps a lot.

Got ac hehe now We r talking !!!! So since some of my girls are not stretching as much as the others, i decided to upgrade them a few inches up so that they get more light ! As for the rest, they are looking amazing and they all seem happy !!! One of my SG Clones turn out to be an Alasken Purple, and i think it's great lol Glad my friend make this mistake wen gave me clones :) Height : SG number 6 - 93cm SG numbers 2 and 3 - 52cm SG numbers 4 and 5 - 80 cm SG number 7 - 80 cm Starting to test the aptus all in one on this girl and see if i can find any diferences Alaskan Purple lol - 57cm PG - 59cm HK - 43cm WM LA1- 68cm BB- 46cm So a friend as been teling me wonders of this Aptus all in one liquid base, it's suppose to b full Bio so i decided to givit a try, i know i should wait for a new grow and test it from scracth, but again , all i grow is for myself so its ok to play like this, and if i like the results on the Super Glue lucky number 7, i'l givit a try for my next grow. let's see how it goes :) Peace Out !!! D.

Les semis se portent bien 🙏🏻 Voilà maintenant 7jours qu’elle sont en pot 05/10/24 J’ai mis un compteur, j’ai actuellement 41 watt de consommation 37 pour la lampe et 4 pour les ventilation Box terminé, lampe fixer et ventilation mise

Starting to flush on Day 70 then gonna chop ‘em down in a week or two, looking great so far and smells amazing when u open the tent, real frosty and dense some nice indica buds. Their starting to get a purple hue on the flower and also the leaves are going a nice purple/yellow I’ll update soon. ✌️🏻👌🏻 01/10/18 - it’s day 75 and all is good did some late night Defol and their looking beautiful and stunk out my flat (hence it was a nighttime job)

Dico solo una cosa. Peccato aver comprato un solo seme :(

This plant looks gorgeous on her 3rd week after planted, great development, let's see how she keeps developing, looks like it's gonna be a big girl guys,

Está semana el viernes 4 echamos te de compost aireado que lo tuvimos 24h cocinando y el sábado 5 defoliación agresiva de satélites y ramas que no le daban la luz

Next week completed. Kicked off with lst on autoflowers and blue. Blue growing very fast and big altough lack of side branches on radar. Suspected to be male. One bahamian has been FIMMED, growing nice and bushy. Im very happy with HPS light. Stared using rhizotonic and cannazym along with canna vega.blue showed a little small symptoms of being overfed, sorted out with clean water. Now Im watering with nutrients every second time. Small plants have new home, im trying out a few different pot sizes and training styles just for my own experience. Please rate my setup in the comments and point out failures, suggestions always welcome. Peace

Eine fruchtig süße Sorte mit wunderschönen Knospen. 😍✅️ Guter Ertrag💪✅️ Hoher THC Gehalt✅️ Viele Trichome👌✅️ Zu Empfehlen?! Absolut Lohnenswert💚🌱

Hi 420 Family. The past 6 weeks have been up and down a bit here and there, some noob mistakes made also.... But nevertheless, things are starting to look great. All of these plants are showing quite hairy bud sites and the pistils are mostly milky. WW's are ahead by about a week or two from what I have heard from other friends and growers but we will see. I have upped the nutes a little bit this week, and also added a small about of BioBizz Bio-Bloom. Let's see how it goes! D47 - 22 Aug - So far so good. Buds are swelling up nicely and they are starting to stink (the good kind). White Widow has quite a spicy, potent smell. Purple Lemonades smell sweet and fresh (some purple in the stems and the stems of certain leaves but no purple flower yet; I do hope I get at least SOME purple flowers!). Otherwise, they seem to respond well to the nutrients I have been feeding the past 2 runs. I think for the next feeding I will add some more grow tho, the PL's seem to have a slightly larger appetite for Magnesium/Nitrogen perhaps. After that, proper flush and then some worm tea that I will brew from my leftover worm castings and the normal flowering schedule to follow. I am happy thus far and I really am enjoying this so damn much, I think I've already won this round. :) D50 - 25 Aug - Ladies are responding well to the extra nutrients, and the smells are just next level... The WW's are much more dense and are fattening up nicely. PL still a little behind I rate, pistils are mostly still straight and not as milky. Otherwise, all systems are good and happy to start week 8 tomorrow! :D I have added a heaped cup of worm castings to the top of the soil, let's hope for a great flavor and even more intense smells over the next 2 weeks! Happy growing.

We have topped her this week. We also forgot to post that we transplanted a week ago. All of the girls seem to have bounced back from the over watering. We have attempted our first compost tea to boost the microbiology in the soil. 7.5ml fish shit 1/2 tablespoon recharge 1 teaspoon stonington plant food 1 1/2 handful work casting 1 1/2 coast of Maine Brewed sightly less than 24hs but not much, ph to 6.3😎

She is getting yuuuhhge she is getting purty with these big razor purple leaves she definitely doesn't look like a auto love how this plant is growing I've trained her with budtrainer clips go to www.budtrainer.com and use cupon code ~DISTENTAINT4CAMPIN~ and save you 10% off entire website

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

Day 65. Heavy training in progress ... All done, hopefully not many natural protectors lost, took about 30 liters bag full off leaves and shoots, could do like 100 clones easy ;))) All girls lolitoped, cleared, defoliated, rewired, some had supercroping. Skunks were happy when last Cheese was done, so i think/hope - all will go smooth. This time i really cleared them a lot, maybe the most in my career ... Cheeses performed thicker and more stacked branches . Fun is starting !!! Day 66. Got my last puzzle of protection against thrips. I think i beat them already, yesterday haven't noticed any thrips on leaves, but i am old and blind ;))) They where ordered a week ago, so just in case ... Girls look just fabulous !!! I think it will be very nice harvest by bag appeal, hopefully weight will make me smile too ;)))) I still think to strip them hard at the end of week 5 or week 6 if they will delay in progress .... At the moment they are just perfect ! Day 69. Here comes my moan ;)) Stretch was not so big as i expected, looks like 80 is more real target than 100. They look very nice and healthy and i beaten thrips , but this time i cleared too much i feel ;))))) Future will show ... Happy Growing !!!
