Last Vegetative Week, Healthy and defoliated

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Another awesome week as these buds are getting dense and Frosty

added 2 blurples on the lower canopy on Bloom only @60w each (just reds) lowered the whites slightly to match up watts, @970W running all lights (fc6500 710w @600w, migro 240w @100w fc3000 300w @150w) all frosty and pretty much done the bolt, no more droops at night, now for the bulking m/ m/

Sleepy Joe is in her final week. Been an enjoyable grow. Not the biggest flowering plant. Took awhile to get going, but she created some nice hard little bugs. These little bugs are so heavy, branches are bending like the larger ladies.Will be easy trimming. Looking forward to trying this stuff out.

Comenzamos la semana de floración con una gran poda de bajos dejando estas con forma de palmera o Chupa Chups. En el día de hoy le bajé dos horas al horario de vegetación de 18/6 a 16/8 en los siguientes días bajo dos horas así hasta alcanzar el 12/12 de manera gradual. Hoy se aplicará un riego de vitaminas y entaizante.

GMO (Garlic mushroom onion) was slow to flower but came on strong weeks 8 and 9 to produce some dense heavy sticky buds. The dry weight of the plant material is unsure, but I’ll report the weight of various bubble microns when dry. Pictures of the dry bubble and maybe a melt shot impending! To dry, I decided to microplane into pizza boxes lined with parchment. It’s been fun growing along with everyone on grow diaries. Awesome

Girls look pretty, buds forming great.

Ciao bros&sis! It's been a while, I know, but here we are! Ok, about the girls: they are fine, i've decided to transplant some of them in coco coir to learn the "hydro way" (I see DWC in near future) thanks to the great tips learned from @Mr_Di and embolden by my bro @Totem I'll try to works with mineral fertilizer, EC and the inert medium. Girls in coco are: Royal AK- still the queen. into her new 12lt airpot (not fill it because is too big) she's growin an inch a day OG Kush- she likes nutes and everything, but there's something wrong with the leaves... into 11lt netpot Speedy Chile- she's growing strange, but strong. into 6lt pot (I wanna give her a chanche, but not waste time and money) Ferts of choice: Canna Coco A+B, easy to manage and economic I also add some liquid silicon to the water to prepare the plants for the oncoming training, great product for sure. Soil: UK Cheese auto- she's flowering even after crop, lst and hst. STRONG genetics. 8.8ltpot Pink Doc CBD auto- at the third try, we have a winner! Finally a seedling that seems normal and fine, we will see... 8.8lt pot Candy Kush Express- she like soil, indeed. Nice plants, topped and transplanted. 10lt plastic growbag Special Kush- tiny princess, she was begging for more space. 10lt plastic growbag That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!😙

Fungus gnats were in full effect here due to the Down-to-Earth potting mix. That stuff doesn't drain worth a damn! I had just sprayed the plants with neem oil and soap in this video... and needless to say that didn't turn out well (more to follow) In other news, the French Macaron roots were growing like crazy at this point.

6eme semaine de floraison

Got the new Mars Hydro 3000 this week and we’re super excited! Transplanted to 1 gal pots

It was harvested slowly. First up bud and 3-4 days later down bud harvested. Very nice harvested

She got preflowers I cut of some nodes to keep her a bit less bushy, these go very wild and i like to do this early, in coco they recover very fast so this is not a problem

Amazing old school strain. Cakes to the stem and oily to the touch. All buds are rock hard and freakin hand size. Taste is of harsh lemon while some are more haze. Both pheno tastes are great imo. This turned out great and would grow again in the future. If only trimming were easier with this one.

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

Ajout d'une plaque pour éviter les algues , encore du scrog et defoliation, vidange et renouvellement du réservoir d'eau , on remplit encore le filet et go 12/12

Thank you. Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, I'm keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. One study found that acute, high-dose UV-B had a greater effect on genome stability than chronic, low-dose exposure. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function.

Herzlich Willkommen zurück! Nach Blütewoche 1 und dem wiederkehrenden runterbringen der Triebe unter dass Nett ist nun Zeit, die Pflanze ihre Arbeit tun zu lassen. Ich hab die Pflanze jeden zweiten Tag angepasst, wieder unter das Netz geflochten und entsprechend die Blätter und Triebe unterhalb des Netzes abgeschnitten. Somit kann die Pflanze die Energie in die oberen Triebe leiten und sich prächtig entwickeln. Das ist mein zweiter richtiger Scrog Grow und aus dem ersten habe ich gelernt, dass Mann nur bis Blütewoche 1 runterbinden sollte. Danach ist es wichtig, die Zeit des Stretches quasi auszunutzen um die freigelegten Triebe sich in Ruhe entwickeln zu lassen. 💚
