Day 24 flower and holy frost! Sour Diesel is frosting up so much its crazy. The bud structure is abit smaller than all the others but man is it covered and look how much these girls stretched. Northern Lights isnt as frosty but has my favorite structure. Have alot of nice colas going and they are also starting to frost as well. Grandaddy Purp is surprising me in flower, this was the plant that's been the biggest and tallest the entire grow until now, it is the smallest. Its still stacking and prob going to be in flower longer than the others. I been hitting these girls with 800-900 ppfd at 18 inches from canopy and they seem to like it.

Another week for the first-time sailor. I started doing LST as I'm a beginner unfortunately my lack of skill took 3 leaves but the plants apparently did not feel the stress as they continue to grow and with the birth of new leaves. This week reduces the space for watering before 7 days to 5 days the growth is good but as everything in life can improve but I am happy with my performance and learning from my failures.

Wir sind jetzt in der Mitte der Blütephase und die AK-47 fängt ordentlich an, Muskeln zu zeigen. Die Trichombildung ist massiv und zieht sich schon weit über die Zuckerblätter – der typische AK-Geruch wird von Tag zu Tag intensiver! Ich habe gerade einen kompletten Wasserwechsel durchgeführt, damit die Lady für den Endspurt frische Nährstoffe (besonders Phosphor und Kalium) zur Verfügung hat. 💧 Wasserparameter (aktuell): • pH-Wert: 5,8 – 6,2 (wird stabilisiert, nachdem die Sonde etwas gezickt hat) • EC-Wert: 1,6 (Ich habe den Wert von 1,8 leicht gesenkt, da die Blattspitzen eine leichte Überdüngung anzeigten) • Wassertemperatur: 19°C – 21°C 🔍 Beobachtungen & Herausforderungen: Die Pflanze war letzte Woche etwas wählerisch. Ich habe bemerkt, dass der EC-Wert gestiegen ist, während der Wasserstand sank – ein klares Zeichen, dass die Nährlösung für ihren aktuellen Durst einen Tick zu stark war. Optisch steht sie super da: ein sattes, tiefes Grün und eine sehr vitale Blütenstruktur. Die ganz leichten "verbrannten Spitzen" an den Blättern nehme ich als Signal, den EC-Wert jetzt bei 1,6 zu halten. Das ist der "Sweet Spot", an dem sie am effizientesten arbeitet, ohne Salzstress zu bekommen. 🛠️ Was diese Woche gemacht wurde: • Reservoir-Wechsel: Komplett frische Nährlösung angesetzt. • Monitoring: Tägliche pH-Kontrolle (aktuell manuell, da der Monitor kalibriert werden muss). • LST/Pflege: Ein paar große Fächerblätter wurden strategisch entfernt, um die Lichtdurchlässigkeit zu den unteren Buds und die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern. Nächstes Ziel: Die Blüten beim Anschwellen beobachten und die Werte stabil halten!

Niente vendemmia purtroppo perché qualcuno si è divertito un tantissimo a rubarmi 9 delle mie piante....non c'è la faccio ragazzi mi sto per sentire male...dovevano essere tutti i miei risparmi per durare a fumare fino a marzo....ora non so come devo fare senza erba!!!! Sono in difficoltà sul serio! Ho speso molto per fare tutte queste piante e in mezz'ora mi hanno rubato tutte le mie bimbe!!! Spero il karma glie la farà pagare molto cara!!!!

Hello This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Will be flushing for the next 2 weeks. They got their last nutrient feeding... It will be just ph adjusted tap water from here to the end. I can't figure out why 2 plants leaves are turning yellow, If it was heat stress they should all look the same Plant #2 has more yellow leaves than Plant #1 has some and Plant #3 hardly has any yellow leaves. They've all got the same treatment. They all got a big spoonful of Cal-Mag powder 1/2 way through flowering. Called Wollammo.com Maybe plant #2 is finishing earlier than the rest... I'll check the resin for amber crystals when I'm done... The buds are dense but not quite rock hard. The secondary buds are dense too. I hope they get denser in the last 2 weeks. Nice smells with the squeeze the bud and smell your fingers test. My wife said... when she smell my fingers... "Mmm... Delicious" Smells similar to the Dos Si Dos 33 a sweet musky desert smell, it also has hints of wood too. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

"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*

[ Information ] For all grow information, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] (Flower) Day 1 - Light intensity increased to 65%. C02 increased to 1300ppm average. Day temp/humidity 85/70 (1-1.2VPD), night temp/humidity 75/65 (.8-1VPD). Fed a diluted compost tea mixture before lights on. Base water was R/O and tap water mixed lightly with silica and Tribus microbes. Tea was a mixture of Fish Hydrolysate, Bat Guano, Molasses, Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. 8 gallons of tea were added to 72 gallons of water mixture for an 80gal batch total. The batch was mixed for a half hour before feeding to the room. I did not PH or PPM test the mixture, organic material is hard to get an accurate PPM reading so the numbers are useless to me. I will be working to bring the lights to 100% power over this first week of flower. Day 4 - Light intensity increased daily, currently at 90%. Will raise to full power tomorrow. C02 increased to 1800ppm average. Temp and humidity for day and night are still the same. Lights were raised slightly to maintain 12 inches from canopy height, and a few growth nodes that were above the canopy got topped. Watered today with an 80gal (1.25gal p/pot) mixture, 10% tap 90% r/o water. 6.8 PH, 2.2ec. Foliar sprayed yesterday before lights off with a neem mixture for weekly IPM. Canopies are stretching relatively evenly, though I will be adding in support nets within a few days to help maintain the even spread. I've run this strain before so I'm fairly confident that I know what to expect during these few stretch weeks. Day 7 - Lights have been at 100% since day 5. C02 still 1800-2000ppm on average. Plants are stretching quickly into the lights, I have yet to readjust their height. The best growth usually happens when I do nothing, and I've done almost nothing the past couple days besides enjoy the unusually warm spring weather my area is currently experiencing. Watered today, 100gal (1.5gal p/pot) mixture, <1ec. Mainly an organic feeding for microbe health, also wanted a bit more runoff than normal due to the high ec feeding previously.

Hello Growmies, The first week of flowering has wrapped up, and I'm pleased to report that she's stretched evenly through the ScrOG. I've been doing some light defoliation where leaves were overshadowing other shoots. She's showing a clear preference for a pH below 6. Anytime it creeps above that, the plant begins to experience nutrient lockout. I'm keeping a close eye on this and will adjust the pH as necessary. Her root system is expanding robustly, gearing up for increased growth above ground. To support this, I've upped the dosage of Orca along with the boost accelerator. Here's a bonus for you all: enter the code ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout in Zamnesia's online store for a 20% discount. Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more updates next week!

This week went real well! All 5 of the Twenty20 Ogreberry Autos and the 1 Fastbuds Bruce Banner have successfully germinated and sprouted up from the soil!! This upcoming week we will start giving these girls a heavy feeding of nutrients PH d at 6.5 an see how they react , most likely will love it!! Temperature an humidity has been on point, through out the day we reach 70-75 degrees an a nice humidity of 65%which is always nice ! Hope you all enjoy an keep them eyes peeled for next week !! Peace, love, an positive vibes to all you Growmies out there! If any questions please feel free to ask , more then happy to help! Cheers everybody to another great grow!!!
