We will see the process of it ... nothing to report for now ...

Glad I took her down to 4 tops! Going to flower !!

We are entering the third week of growth for our FBA 2504 strain from 42Fast Buds, and everything is progressing beautifully. We've recently transplanted the plant into a 10-liter pot, giving it more room to thrive. Even though it's an autoflowering strain, we've decided to experiment with a 12/12 light cycle—12 hours of light during the day and 12 hours at night—to see how it responds. The daytime temperature peaks at 30°C, with an average range between 27°C and 28°C, while humidity is consistently maintained at 60% to 65%. The plant has reached a height of 14-20 cm and is already showing three sets of leaves. We're preparing to start low-stress training (LST) to help guide its growth. In addition, we've begun feeding our beauty with nutrients from Xpert Nutrients, and we’re really pleased with the results so far. The plant looks strong and vibrant, and we're excited to see how it develops over the coming weeks!

The purple punch cookies is looking happy. Will be switching them to flower in a week or less. I gave them a flush and fresh nutrients. The humic acid really makes a huge difference in the uptake of nutrients. I am at about half dose on nutrients compared to what I would have to feed without it. Winter is approaching and bringing the low humidity with it. All of the humidifiers I have tried either dont work or I have to constantly refill the tank. So I decided to use my redneck engineering skills to throw this humidifier together. It holds 4 gallons of water and she pumps like a freight train. I have dubbed her the Steam Queen. I got 2 cool mist foggers that put out about 400ml per hour each and used some things I had around to make them a little float. Added an old computer fan to force the mist out through a 2 inch pipe. She won't win any beauty contests but she pumps out plenty of cool moist air. I also upgraded my exhaust to a variable speed for more added environmental control. Just going to do a little more training over the next week then try to make some buds.

Hi guys how are you ? welcome back to our enchanted gardens! We are ready and extremely excited to see these California pearls blossom in my home 😆😋 And you??? Want to know how it will end? What will be the color of their gems, their perfume... their production?... well... stay updated and follow our diaries Happy growing everyone

T-minus 3-ish weeks until chop day and the Blue Cheese lady knows it – frosting up like she's competing in a winter baking show. The buds are sticky, and putting out that unmistakable creamy-berry funk that makes you start rolling before they’re even dry. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with the odd clear straggler, so we’re not rushing. Upper canopy is stacking hard, while the lowers are still bulking – perfect for a staggered harvest plan. Current status: Feeding bloom mix with a side of patience. No pests in sight – just a room full of sweet, stinky flower. The plan: 1 more week of bloom feed, then switch to ripener. Harvest upper buds first when they’re mostly cloudy/amber. Give lowers an extra 5–7 days to pack on a bit more weight. Every day from here is basically a slow-motion unwrapping..

Welcome to another episode of Growfessor theatre, 4x8 edition! Week 3F, ladies are doing good. Added B-52 to the nute mix, LSD, Green Crack and Divine storm are hungry! Did some defoliation. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time! 👽🌳💚

Stäben kommen gut für Outdoor, der Kollege macht sein Ding 😅 Botaniker was soll man sagen hahaha

DAY 57 - 10/11/24 - Everything is looking good. I am noticing the bud sites are growing taller and thicker. I rotated and placed the plants for optimal light. I lowered the light a bit more. The feed is flowing, but very slowly. I wonder if there is a clog? The individual reses are full, the coco is wet. I am unsure what this all means. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 74.0 H 53.3 V 1.34 DAY AVE: T 76.2 H 53.5 V 1.43 DAY 58 - 10/12/24 - Rotated plants, res moving on down. Plants feeding, loving life. Temps a little higher than I would like. I spread and tucked the plants. They are making great progress. There is no more burnt rubber band smell. It has given way to a sweet, kind of citrus, bubblegum, cotton candy scent. All throughout. The bud sites are swelling and blasting out terpenes. Plants are due for another haircut in the next few days. Lots of moisture and stickiness deep within the plants. Top leaves are all healthy dark green, some slight nute burn at the very tips like I want, some slight dry burn spots on the already noted plants, no changes there. I still plan on cutting all the gross leave off. Maybe later today?. The bottom leaves, the newest, light protected growth are all bright light green, like the weird extra little baby arms on the scientist in that one episode of The Venture Bros. Some of the random “bigger” leaves that I left last time are now jutting through the middle of the plant, searching for light. I am trying to tuck more mobile lower branches on top of the thicker and more rigid branches. This will expose the lower sites to more light, and gently bend the bigger stalks until they accommodate the smaller ones. I believe the flowers are finally starting to effect my allergies. Exciting!! And kind of annoying, but maybe this way I will build up a tolerance now that I know it’s coming. I will start additional allergy medicine to mitigate the sneezing. I want the feed to run almost empty before I refill. Res has bout 1.5-2.5 gals remaining. The individual reses are still filling. When the feed is nearly empty, hopefully later tonight, I am going to check the sponge spout for clogs. I might dump the nute feed out and wash out the res. I am considering working the Kelp down to nothing. I need to do some research on solutions for this or if running kelp through a hydro system is just a bad idea altogether. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.5 H 60.1 V 1.09 DAY AVE: T 76.1 H 53.5 V 1.43 DAY 59 - 10/13/24 - I dumped the nute feed when there was about a gallon left. I tossed and replaced with 1 gal of pure, PH’d down water. I tried to wash the sides of the res down. I let that run down for a few hours then replaces with 6 gals of regular feed. I am also exploring the Dynamic Wind settings. I want to reduce the stress on my fans. New Feed Mix: 1 Gal: Runclean: 0.4ml Silica: 1ml Kelp: 1ml Cal/Mag: 5ml CropSalt A: 5.1g OR 37ml CropSalt B: 2.6g OR 37ml FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 6ml Silica, 6ml Kelp, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.8 H 56.1 V 1.17 DAY AVE: T 74.7 H 51.6 V 1.42 DAY 60 - 10/14/24 - Spent a lot of time over the past few days defoliating and trimming fan leaves. I hope I left enough. I don’t think the growth has slowed down and I do not notice any signs of stress. I believe the plants are nearly done stretching, now they should swell, and then condense as harvest comes nearer. Less than a month now. I also moved the vornado van out of the front right vent towards the back of the room. Then I closed the vent. Temps are noticeably cooler. The inline and exhaust fans are can work a little lower now. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.1 H 54.4 V 1.22 DAY AVE: T 75.7 H 50.1 V 1.51 DAY 61 - 10/15/24 - Plants are drinking heavy again. I meant to mix up more feed last night, but I had to prioritize a gig that popped up. I fed a gallon of water between feeds. Not quite a flush, more of a nutrient stretch. I added 6 gals of proper feed in the early afternoon. I am very happy with how the plants look and smell and stick. I love the Autopots, I love Cropsalt, and Dynomyco, and I especially love Speedrun Seeds. Good companies. Good products. Noticed a small leak, leading to an autopot individual res overflow on Back Right. I think I fixed it, but I need to double check tomorrow AM. The water blowing over the water will help cool the tent at least. The tent smells so good, the flowers are getting so pretty. FEED: 1 gal tap water, no PH FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 6ml Kelp, 6ml Silica, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom, PH’d TO 5.6. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.7 H 55.2 V 1.14 DAY AVE: T 74.3 H 52.6 V 1.37 DAY 62 - 10/16/24 - The leak seems resolved. Feeding normally now. A little moist in the tent from all the water evaporating. But everything is otherwise fine. I rotated and tucked and measured the light (no change recently). The feed lines seem good. The flower is packing and stacking. I wonder if it would be even more so if I got the veg nutes right. I assume the plant would have more plant to utilize in Flower. Maybe it would pack more and higher. I wonder about the difference in density. For my next run I am going to run 4 of the dame plants, but grow them with different methods: no touching, Mainline, LST + Defoliating, and Topping + LST + Defoliating. I may choose slightly different methods, but this is where my curiosity is taking me right now. Ok. There was another slight leak. I believe it is fixed now. I may want to consider taping the lines closed for my next run. Autopots are surely the way to go, but they do have weaknesses that can be mitigated with proper forethought, NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 69.3 H 57.7 V 1.03 DAY AVE: T 74.2 H 52.6 V 1.37 DAY 63 - 10/17/24 - The leak may have not been 100% capped. It should be now. I rotated and tucked the plants. Raised the light 2 clicks. New feed. NO MORE Silica or Kelp. Only CalMag and Bloom Until Cake (last two weeks) where I will drop the CalMag. FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom, PH’d TO 5.4.

She needs a Little Bit more time I Feed her a week longer until end of the week She is a monster

day 73 I was not ready for all this! 🤣🤣 they literally exploded and I started seeing purple on these buds I had to tie them up so the weight of the flowers didn't break the branches. compared to El Patron that I also have in my tent, Purple is much fatter and shorter. they have a very sweet scent and I can't wait to taste it, but alas I will go there a little longer. I have to say that 6 photoperiods are too many for my 1m x 1m x 2m tent. in addition to this I have noticed that they are very hungry. like me and give me some advice. thanks for stopping by, have a nice day and happy cultivation 💜🌳💜🌳💜🌳💜🌳

Start of week 9

it grows so fast. The lower leaves are shaded and away from the light. So I cut them as the plant gets taller I really don't have a good setup to be able to clean my roots. I tried this week anyway. I watered each pot with 2L (not enough I think :/) of water at 450PPM PH: 7 then after I gave 1L of water at 900PM PH: 5.5. There was a big puddle in the room afterwards. But it wasn't that hard to clean up after all. In 5 minutes with a rag and a bucket ------------------------------------------------ -Daytime temperature: 24-29°C -Night temperature: 22-27°C -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) ) -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 80% at 40cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

Week 10 January - 16 January 10/1 - Last feed

Good week of growth. NeXT defoliation on the 11th. Will strip near 75% of the leaves. Can’t wait for the new growth! Going to start adding Bud Candy and Carboload on my next feedings.

Harvest is coming 😁. Weather conditions are changing: more rain and humidity. Daylight 11h45 The Big Foot flowers are meaty and resinous, some of the terpenes are turning in rusty colors Mid’ week: plant is going to a dark room (dry and ventilated) during 72h, no more watering. The Cut is programmed a day of waning moon, during low tide.

Remember that, however you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that. Day:18 84°F and 65% RH (VPD) for the vegetative stage. Approximately 1.15kPa(assuming leaf temperature is about 2°F cooler than the air), which falls right into the ideal vegetative sweet spot (0.8kPa to 1.2kPa). At 1.15kPa, plants can draw water and nutrients efficiently without risking stress or wilting. It keeps the leaf pores (stomata) open, allowing for ideal carbon dioxide intake and maximizing vegetative growth. VPD is determined by the leaf's temperature, not just the ambient air. Because leaves usually run 1° to 3°F cooler than room air under bright grow lights, my actual VPD will be slightly lower, closer to the 1.0kPa mark. As she transitions from vegetative growth to flowering, one can gradually lower the humidity (to around 45–60%) and drop temperatures slightly to prevent disease from settling inside dense buds when they appear. Night:6 At 70°F and 60% relative humidity, Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is 0.86 kPa. This is right on the cusp of whats optimal for the vegetative stage. During the nighttime, plants generally close their stomata and undergo cellular respiration rather than photosynthesis. Transpiration slows to a near stop, making VPD less critical at night than during the day. However, maintaining a nighttime VPD between 0.8 and 1.0 kPa is highly beneficial in that it ensures the air is dry enough to prevent powdery mildew or bud rot, but moist enough to keep the plant from undergoing unnecessary stress. This range keeps the environment comfortable for cellular processes and prevents large atmospheric swings. Keeping it all flowing. (Not pushing them yet, these are photoperiods) The optimal soil (root zone) temperature for cellular root respiration and nutrient uptake in cannabis is between 68F & 72F This narrow range balances biological energy production (cellular respiration) with the dissolved oxygen levels in the soil, maximizing plant growth and health. Warmer soils hold significantly less dissolved oxygen. When soil temperature exceeds 74F oxygen depletion occurs, inhibiting cellular respiration almost entirely, At 68-72F root cells generate optimal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via respiration to power root-tip elongation and the active transport of water and nutrients. Too Hot (Above 78F) Root respiration increases, demanding more oxygen, while the water's oxygen-carrying capacity drops. This creates a prime environment for anaerobic pathogens and Pythium (root rot). Too Cold (Below 60F) Root metabolism and cellular respiration slow to a crawl. This severely impairs nutrient and water absorption, leading to yellowing, wilting, and phosphorus deficiencies. A lot depends on whether it's automatic or photoperiod; with photoperiod, there is not as much of a need to push "hard" as the real countdown only begins once the flower is initiated. Automatics, on the other hand, the chronological "clock" begins ticking the moment the seed germinates. It is of critical importance that the seedling growth gets off to the races, understanding that early growth is like compound interest, which will pay off come harvest. This reality is why getting autoflowers "off to the races" early on yields such exponential benefits. The "compound interest" is directly related to the surface area of the leaves. Larger, faster-growing seedlings process more light and build bigger root networks early on, which translates into an explosion of vertical and lateral growth during their short vegetative window. The margins for error are so thin with autoflowers; this early-stage momentum depends on several critical practices. Seedlings exposed to increased atmospheric CO2 levels early in life will develop at an increased rate. To effectively "extend" or optimize the capacity of Photosystem II (PSII) for increased photosynthetic efficiency. In standard oxygenic photosynthesis, Photosystem II (PSII) is naturally limited to the red-light spectrum, peaking at 680nm. Extending its light-harvesting capacity past 700nm into the far-red region requires bypassing the natural limits of standard chlorophyll a. Adding 730 nm (far-red) LEDs alongside standard red/blue lights has been shown to increase canopy photosynthesis by 20–30% in several crops by acting synergistically with shorter wavelengths. However, the limitation is that excessive, pure IR/Far-red light (without accompanying red light) can trigger the "shade avoidance response," causing plants to grow tall, weak, and spindly rather than robust. Utilizing infrared light (specifically the 700-750 nm far-red range) is a viable method to boost photosynthetic efficiency. It acts as a bridge to allow PSII to utilize a broader spectrum of light, breaking the traditional 700 nm barrier. UVR8-mediated signaling (often in conjunction with CRY proteins) triggers protective mechanisms that maintain the stability of the photosynthetic apparatus (including LHCII and reaction center proteins), thus ensuring that the efficiency of Photosystem II remains higher in UV-B-exposed plants compared to plants lacking this receptor. ΦPSII indictates the rate of electron transfer from water to plastoquinone, which drives the production of ATP and NADPH. There is a close link between ΦPSII and the true rate of CO2 fixation (Φ*co2). ETR stands for Electron Transport Rate. It measures the speed at which electrons are moved through the thylakoid membranes in a plant's chloroplasts during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Infrared light (particularly Near-Infrared or NIR) improves cellular energy by interacting directly with the electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria. This process boosts adenosine triphosphate production, which acts as a metabolic coefficient multiplier by accelerating enzyme activity dramatically. Extend then multiply. Far-Red photons interact with plant photoreceptors to accelerate the plant’s biological "clock" or trigger a shade-avoidance response. Autoflowers don't use the plant's biological clock, although the IR will initiate a shade avoidance and make them stretchy. You can just add equal measures of 660nm-680nm to negate the shade avoidance effect. Replacing nights' "darkness" with a combination of IR+ and 660nm. Because autoflowers don't require a dark period to flower, many growers just blast them with light. 18/6 24/0. However, this ignores the plant's metabolic rhythms, where daytime photosynthesis (light reactions) must be perfectly balanced with nighttime carbon fixation and assimilation (Calvin cycle) to avoid bottlenecking plant development. Cellular respiration is a 24/7 process, but it can only function while the plant has the free oxidative capacity to do so. A 100% photosynthetically active leaf cannot perform cellular respiration. The viral trend of defoliation of every leaf that isn't "getting enough light" is of great detriment overall, putting 100% of the cellular respiratory "workload" and responsibility on the 0/4/6 hours of darkness in sub-optimal conditions for enzymatic activity. Photosynthesis captures nearly 100% of the initial energy as carbon, while cellular respiration is the process that unlocks 90% of that captured energy into usable ATP so the plant can use it. Respiration is considered roughly 30% to 40% efficient. It captures enough of the potential energy in glucose to synthesize around 30 to 38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. The remaining 60% to 70% of the energy in the sugar is not captured in ATP; instead, it naturally escapes into the environment as heat, which helps regulate plant temperature. In plants, the primary enzymes of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and the ATP synthase complexes are typically adapted to function optimally in warmer temperatures (roughly 25°C to 35°C depending on the specific plant strain). As temperatures rise within this physiological range, molecular collisions increase, speeding up respiration and ATP production. The cannabis plant has a branched respiratory pathway. During heat or cold stress, plants activate Alternative Oxidase (AOX). AOX burns sugars to dissipate energy as heat rather than coupling it to ATP production. This pathway actually functions optimally at elevated temperatures to help protect the cell from the damaging build-up of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) during heat stress. Enzyme activity generally scales with heat; there is a strict biological limit. If canopy temperatures in a grow room exceed 40°C, the enzymes and their supporting lipid membranes lose stability. Not saying you need to go crazy, just optimize nights the same as we optimize days. Phosphorus is the driving force behind early seedling development. It acts as the "energy hub" of the plant, directly driving cell division, robust root growth, and the creation of DNA. Without an adequate, easily accessible supply early on, the plant's overall growth potential and final yield can suffer permanently. E=MC2 looks like a simple multiplication problem; it describes a fundamental physical truth: mass and energy are the same thing. The equation doesn't just calculate a value; it reveals that mass is effectively "congealed" energy. Energy is just numbers. Energy isn't a physical "substance" you can hold or touch. It is essentially an abstract, calculated number that we assign to a system to predict how it will change, interact, or move. A numerical label we attach to matter to track how it behaves. Because the universe runs on laws of symmetry (specifically, that the laws of physics don't change over time), a single global number must be conserved. We call that number "energy". We don't grow; we facilitate energy conversion. How well a seedling grows is essentially down to how much knowledge one can acquire to increase the level of conversion to occur. Applying knowledge effectively requires intuition, which comes from hands-on experience. A seasoned stoner learns to read subtle signs—like a slight change in leaf turgor (stiffness), subtle color shifts, or the specific texture of the soil—before a textbook diagnosis can be made. Ultimately, growing is the application of botanical science blended with active observation. Knowledge dictates your potential, but adaptability and attentiveness to the plant's immediate environment determine your results. 1.618 nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. External vibration or electromagnetic wave that perfectly matches a plant's natural frequency directly influences plant growth. Low-frequency sound waves and targeted electromagnetic fields stimulate cellular processes and boost photosynthetic efficiency Does it produce better yields? How long is a piece of string? As long as you cut it. But isssss the juice worth the squeeze? The quantum framework of the IVM seems to think so. Good enough for the quantum firmware, good enough for the DNA software. Genetics are not dictated; they are expressed; the rate of that expression is dictated by the environment in which growth occurs. Quantum Coherence in Photosynthesis occurs When a photon of sunlight strikes a leaf, the energy it carries must travel to a reaction center to be converted into chemical energy. This process operates at nearly 100% efficiency. If the energy moved in a traditional "bunching" or random hopping manner, a large portion of it would be lost as heat. Instead, plants utilize quantum superposition. The energy particle (exciton) doesn't just take one path; it exists in a wave state and explores multiple pathways simultaneously. It essentially "chooses" the most efficient route to the reaction center simultaneously. Research shows that molecular vibrations and the specific network arrangements of chlorophyll molecules (like the naturally evolved Chlorophyll A & B ratios) actively protect against energy overflow, optimizing light capture across different light intensities. Enzymes are the biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions within a plant's cells, allowing them to grow, metabolize, and repair. Rather than relying solely on the classical kinetic energy of molecules colliding, plants use quantum tunneling. Subatomic particles like electrons and protons (hydrogen ions) can literally "teleport" through energy barriers that they normally wouldn’t have the energy to climb over. This makes vital metabolic reactions happen far faster than classical physics could ever explain. Chloryphyll b has peak absorption at 460nm (Blue) and at 647nm(Red). If we take the blue peak wavelength 460nm and a UV-B, UVR8 peak absorption wavelength 285nm, Tryptophan-285 (W285) Sensing protein. 460/285=1.618 Φ If we take chlorypyhll b's Red absorption peak 647nm and a UV-A of 400nm, we get 647/400=1.618 Φ. "Structure of light". The cryptochrome photoreceptor (CRY) is a UV-A/blue light receptor that shares this dual sensitivity with several other biological structures and functions, including significant sequence similarity and a common evolutionary ancestor with DNA photolyase enzymes. These are light-activated enzymes that use blue/UV-A light to repair DNA damage caused by UV-B radiation in plants. Synergistic. But Shhh, it's a secret. Effective quantum efficiency of photosystem II, often denoted as ΦPSII, represents the proportion of light absorbed by Photosystem II (ΦPSII) that is actually used in photosynthetic electron transport. It is a key indicator of how efficiently a plant is using light for photosynthesis, as opposed to losing it as heat or fluorescence. ΦPSII (effective quantum yield of photosystem II) functions primarily as a "multiplier" (a coefficient of efficiency) rather than an additive factor when estimating the overall photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR). Multipliers are considered far more beneficial than additions because they generate exponential growth, leverage existing resources to their full potential, and create sustainable, self-multiplying capacity, rather than just incremental, linear increases. This fascinating observation is rooted in the intersection of subatomic geometry, fractal scaling, and quantum dynamics. In specific molecular arrangements—such as in conjugated polymer networks or biomolecular architectures—the Golden Ratio (PHI) naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Mathematically tied to the fine-structure constant, which defines the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. The Golden Ratio can be mapped geometrically as the Golden Angle (137.5 degrees) in atomic structures, linking the charge of the electron to fundamental quantum constants like Planck's constant. Electromagnetic. The Golden Angle (137.5): This angle is derived from the Golden Ratio (1.618). It is the smaller of two angles created when a circle is divided such that the ratio of the arcs equals the Golden Ratio.

They both have started to flower! So far so good both plant seem to be doing great with no issues.
