Week nine of veg and the girls are stretching… all except the Purple Punch on the far left. She decided to go into flower last Thursday! She too is healthy and displaying some purple. Thanks for looking in at my second grow.

This week was great this is supposed to be an autoflower but here we are at 8 weeks and I've seen one pistol per bud site I'm wondering if I was accidently sent photoperiods? I'm not sure if anyone has ideas is this normal for this auto or is it a photo

the gelato grows i did before in coco took 4 weeks longer but way more yield. This strain has a lot of resin production and is also good to grow during the winter

Did some more defoliation this week and gave some nutrients.They are looking happy and healthy still in vegetation stage but soon I’ll switch the light cycle.I added a scrog net and will clean up the bottoms tonight as I’m ready to switch to flower soon.I want to keep them smaller if possible in the short 3x3 60 inch high tent they are in atm with a spider farmer sf1000 light 100 percent power.Also have a Co2 bag hanging and hopefully adds a little more growth during the early flowering weeks.

Ok so at day 21 all 3 ladies look amazing so did some training on 2 of them.I will let the smaller one of the 3 grow a bit.Im using the same amount of nutrients since the first feeding I will increase the advanced nutrients to 2 ml per gallon this week.When I water these ladies I judge by lifting the pots and I just know when they are thirsty :).I have also increased the light intensity to 50 percent power and they are taking it well.Day 23 I decided to top one that I didn’t bend over I rubbed some cloning gel on her cut so she will get better soon.At this point I’m doing a lot of leaf tucking but they are looking very healthy.

Cataclysmic Cookies 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾 79 DAYS - Above Dirt 💬 Sunday 11.12.23 - Fed the lady's compost tea this morning, they are really starting to fatten up, we have another 5 weeks of flower and they should just get enormous! 💬 Friday 11.17.23 - Just a quick end-of-week update, the ladies are fattening up slowly, and the buds are looking amazing! 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾 📝Cataclysmic Cookies Right in time for Halloween, here's a real creeper of a cross. Mr. Crowley Matterhorn reversed into Massgrowers special gal, Black Cookies Cake Linda Cut. The first thing that jumps out when you first see these girls is that spectacular dark bloody purple color. All phenos but one are as purple as purple gets, the terp profiles range from Christmas trees to bright sour rhubarb. Medium to medium tall frame, moderate foliage, with beautiful spire-shaped flowers that are sticky as a fly trap. Distinct and easy to grow, they'd make a great addition for anyone looking to add some serious color to their garden 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾

Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino x Ruderalis 70I-20S-10R Yeah, I’m not used to varieties that put out really tiny buds. Also I learned about bracts and that I falsely refer to bracts as calyxes. But yeah, she is slow with tiny bracts. A subtle smooth flavor/aroma. Can’t really put my finger on it, but I like it. Day 70. That smooth sweet smell is coming through more. A sweet fruity smell with undertones of almost a vanilla type of cream. Maybe the name was inspired by the smell?

"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*

10-17 mainly just on a watering schedule...im really just STILL trying to keep them healthy and low...they are having to stretch for light but its workin out good with all the topping I think...im trying to time it so that I can clone again and then flower these...im not transplanting in hopes of restricting their size for awhile...the plan is to get new lights for my closet and invest in a 2x4 or so grow tent for flowering photoperiods in and move these mars hydro 300's in there...for now I'm just trying to get the most from my space as I can...sorry about the purple pics this week guys but like I said the name of the game is just to maintain these for now...im having to water them quiet frequently in these small pots but I don't mind...if you have a spare minute feel free to check out the autos I'm growing for AUTO SEEDS as well...one is measuring 13 inches the other 13.5 inches....

Day 20 - All the girls doing well except one which was literally slow from germination, so ill be pulling that one and left with 3 Runtz. Aside from that, the rest of the plants are loving the environment, the cooler conditions definitely helps. Also have a thermostat that kicks in if its too cold and cuts out if too hot. Will start a little bit of plant training but tempted to just let them run and grow out part natural with a bit of assistance.

Hello guys, we are in the tenth week of veg, I have had some delay so I have to postpone flowering for a week. On day 64 I defoliated the girls and took about 60 clones .. Another 40 clones have already taken root so in a few days I will plant them in the pots

July 9th - fish poop applied for breakfast - with all the rain, i applied Kelp Meal to the surface area - fed 2 gallons of Nutes/water -Weather can do what it wants now June 10th, - looking at the leaf formations on the end of the Branches, and I’m sure there will be Pistiles showing in about a week. The bud sites are starting to take shape and cluster. I’ll grab some shots in 4 days and see where its going - foliar spray for breakfast, thats a good feeding in the last 24 hrs - next meal posted above - 2 weeks past the Solstice, the plants will start moving into Flower very shortly, if not already. Days are Shorter, lets grow some Buds July 11th, - another whole day of Rain, so 1-2” (~ 1.5 gal) of Compost was added to the entire Soil surface. A first for me, thats for sure… all in the name of the science in the soil - before adding compost, I stood on the tomato cage, to fully re-sink it into the ground; top rim is 29” legit July 13th - foliar spray in the late afternoon - plant is becoming a Bush - yep, in a moment of weakness lol, I took a few leaves off, clones were gone, had to make it right… call it LST - you can see the branches are making use of the Cage, for support of the lower Topped branches.

Week four after flipping to 12/12 still no signs of anything maybe it’s liking the cycle as a way of managing roots in the small pot still not using a crazy amount of nutes only Time will tell
