Day 38 since starting germination: Everything is looking healthy and happy. I’ve FIMed the main and continued leaf tucking & LST. Upped the amount of Diamond nectar from 1ml/gal to 2ml/gal. Keeping the lights on 20/4 has kept the average low temp a degree higher at 66. I also changed the positioning of the lights. Now the Mars Hydro tsl2000 is providing ~500-550 ppfd across the canopy. At this point the plants in the RDWC loop have different nutrient needs so when I did my water change I also changed the orientation of my buckets. I removed the bucket with the Northern Lights photo period from the loop so it could be connected to its own reservoir and be fed a veg nutrient solution while the Sour D auto gets its bloom nutrients.

02/01/2021 Will update when dried and cured, smells sweeet! Very candy like sticky but have grown stickier strains, nice colors hope it looks as good dried. Greens and purples are striking! See ya next week Ps I will not do this monster cropping again good harvest but too much trimming! If I do I'll train longer into better shape. But I learned how not to do it next time. Should have vegged longer and training would have helped, I just wanted to experiment.🙏 Getting back to soil and putting Hydroponics away for a while. I will grow outside this summer to see how she does, I'm curious to see how she handles PW outside, no issues inside. Got a little PW but it didn't spread and didn't see it again. Also got all my trimmings(about 1 ounce) in the freezer, going to try and make dry sift once I figure out how. 10 days since harvest. Burbping jars once a day still releasing moisture. 02/23/2021 Smoke session time been curing 3 weeks.

Hey mates, I'm happy with my first grow. I'm learning so much. Day 29: I'm looking like a hypochondriac, but for the plants, all I see I think it's a disease. Now I'm seem the older leaves getting yellowing, and gotting some brown/dark spots and saw little flies walking at the soil, I've googled it and can be fungus gnats, what I'm supposed to do? About the pH: I never measured the pH cause I'm using the pH Perfect products of Advanced Nutrients and they say you dont know care about this. But I've started to use mineral water, to see if have some difference. Obvious the mineral water is more puriest and clear than the tap water. Lets see. Day 30: I've did the defoliation on all seeds, but on Seed 2 and 3 I've just removed dead or yellow/brown leaves, and at the Seed 1 I've removed the most of fan leaves, leaving two or three at max. Day 34: I'm happy with these girls, Seed 3 I've did not LST and she have 49cm, Seed 2 I've did a soft LST and she have 45cm and 3 main colas, Seed 3 I've did a more little harder LST and she has only 33cm and I think has 4 or 5 main colas, I really dont know the exact number cause one of them is a little lower than the 4 others.

She is showing some unhappy leaves due to heat stress, but she looks fine anyway. The buds are developing beautifully and we have some nice long colas. I´ve added some support to help the branches keep the heavy buds up.

Ich habe die Damen entlaubt, sie haben es unterschiedlich gut weggesteckt. Sie entwickeln sich super aber im Gegensatz zu anderen Auto eher langsam. Meine Lampe ist auf 75% und mehr wollen die Pflanzen auch nicht! Ich hatte auch kurz LST versucht musste aber aus Platz gründen wieder entfernen da ich sonst 1 Pflanze aus den Schrank holen müssen und das wollte ich nicht weil sie alle gesund und munter sind.

Very happy with this week girls are drinking over a litre every 2 /3 days New led lights Very happy so far with performances

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.

This strain goes really fast

all good this week too, im maybe having some issues with the RH, lets see next days how it goes

Esta semana a estado marcada por un excelente desarrollo, ya esta culminando el desarrollo de los capullos para dar inicio al proceso de engorde de las flores.

Temps have been on the cooler side lately, with a few days close to 80° .

Started to give pk13/14. Its day 35 now.

1 month in now and all is still good. She finished stretching and I got the second net on now about a foot above the first screen. I tucked her a bit to level her off with the other 3 Obi-wan kush around her, shes still up a bit higher on the sides but I let those go cause there on the sides...lol still feeding nutrients on the lower side, just shy of half strength. Buds are developing good, not as big as the Obi-wan but that was to be expected. Cheers 💨

PH pen broke! Praise Amazon Prime 😬🤣

Day 0. I left the soil to warm up and settle up a bit, plus microbes had time to start working. Always check the middle of pot for that bit of soil to be super fine and airy, roots don't need obstacles. Will update slowly with every big move and that's my checkpoint grow, I want to know, can I and how much ;) Target - 1000 from 8 plants Time - 2 month veg + 2 month flower Nutes - full range of biobizz Soil - biobizz all mix + worm castings Will Lst, top, supercrop, lolitop, defoliate them a lot and in rounds. This time I didn't go for the lair of air stones, those pots work really great. Fingers Crossed Main thing - Thank You #RoyalQueenSeeds for your beans ! Day 2. First Gorilla showed up, beans are very small, we shall see how strong genetics is ... One more time proved myself, that germination is only for old beans if you are not sure with rate, otherwise its waste of time in my mind ... Day 4. Sprout rate - 100 %,but i still didn't liked like all 4 cookies started. We shall see... ;))) Day 6. All good, no big things yet, girls small, but grow, 3 out of 4 cookies didnt want to loose shell , so had to help them and they look lankier compared to gorilla girls. Every day i lower lamps a bit, would say today eve is final and quantum boards run on 50% dimer for now. Will increase it by 5 % every few days, at the end of week two ussually its full blast, sometimes i keep it till week 3. We shall see ... Still happy, moisture, moisture, moisture .... ;)

Eine gute Spätsommerwoche geht zu Ende und die nächste kündigt sich an 👍 milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein perfekt zum Beginn der Blüte. Larry und Lemon sind etwas weiter, AK und Banana starten erst. Jeden Tag wird gegossen. Pro Pflanze 1,5 bis 2 l je nach Größe. Es läuft gut 👍 bis nächste Woche ✌️

Esta semana hubo un crecimiento muy acelerado. Estoy manejando la altura de las plantas con HST y corte, esperando a una nueva que agregué, para que empiece a estirarse. Cuando tenga la altura de las otras plantas, paso todo a floración. Estuve cortando los bajos de algunas plantas. Otras las estoy dejando crecer un poco para hacer nuevos esquejes. La solución se mantienen las mismas proporciones. Voy a ir actualizando la semana con fotos diarias, para tener una referencia del crecimiento. Día 16. El crecimiento es increíblemente rápido. Estoy aplicando cortes y super cropping porque quiero lograr plantas bien fuertes y bajas. Además quiero aprovechar la superficie de cultivo lo mejor posible. Por lo que voy a hacer varias cabezas por planta, y voy a intentar darles bastante crecimiento para que den más producción. Iré actualizando. Día 19. Se aplica bioestimulante Aux ym foliar. 2ml/l. Ya preparando para pasar a flora en 10 días. Prendí una de las luces laterales par darle más luz a la pequeña Jamaican Dream de prueba que hay en la punta. Día 20. Mañana se cambia la solución. Las plantas estan creciendo mucho. Voy guiando algunas ramas para que queden todas a la misma altura. La pequeña tiene toda esta semana para pegar el estirón final antes de pasar a flora. Confío en que va a llegar porque es sativa 90% a diferencia de sus vecinas 80% indicas. De todos modos me voy a concentrar en las Green Tiger, ya que este diario está dedicado a ellas principalmente.

Hello. This the end of the 1st week and the start of the 2nd week of flowering. Just a fast entry... I'm starting harvesting of the front 1/2 of this greenhouse tomorrow. So, I'm getting ready for that. These plants have still got 6 or 7 weeks of flowering to go still. These plant will go in the front of the greenhouse when I'm finished with the harvest in there. Did a stock rub test of these plants and the smell reminded me of the good old days of buying land race pot. It smelled like The Columbian sativa from the 1970's... mmm wonderful. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Buenas noches familia, finalizamos el primer mes de esta farm cheese, esta variedad está colocada básicamente por gusto de mi paladar, me encanta el sabor de la cheese y a sido un capricho. Volviendo a esta genética, vemos cómo la cheese a tirado unas preflores majas y unos brazos curiosos, es de las variedades que más huele de lo que e cultivado así que ojito gente que recuerdos tengo bastantes en cuanto a el tema olor-cheese. Ph controlado en 6.0 humedad por debajo de 50% temperatura siempre por debajo de los 27 grados. Poco más os dejo unas fotos y vídeos para que podáis comprobar que la farm cheese esta más que viva 💨💨💨 buenos humos.

Day 52: La mia adorabile cream cookies è entrata finalmente in fioritura, sicuramente avrò avuto qualche parametro sbagliato, ma sembra andare tutto bene anche questa settimana, tardiva ma comunque soddisfacente. Adesso nessun errore e si comincia a volare 😍💚
