Hello everyone We have the start off flowering this week with the days going shorter in the last few weeks. RUNTZ from Zamnesia is absolutely doing great and can't see any issues at the moment. She stretched 10 cm this week and this shows me that she's doing fine. First dose off bloom nutrition have been fed this week. Light Defoliation was done to open more light to penetrate to the bottom off the plant. I am only hooping the weather here can finish her off for the next two months. Happy Growing

================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present. The seeds were soaked in reverse osmosis water for 16 Hr. then transferred to a paper towel. DAY 2 October 2nd - 2018 - 2 out of the 3 seeds have germinated. the first 2 will be put into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt. Day 2 October 2nd - 2018 1:00 Pm. All 3 seeds planted into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt Day 3 October 3rd - 2018 - 9:00 Am. 2 ladies have popped out there little heads. Day 4 October 4th - 2018- 9:30 Am Seedlings are doing fine. All 3 seeds have germinated. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 ROW being installed. 2:30 Pm ROW installed. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Seedlings are getting first set of single serrated leaves. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 The tent is setup and running R.O.W. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Washed all Hydroton Clay Pellets in ROW. NO DETERGENTS. Rinse and Rinse again. Using R.O.W. so the medium has a practically no Ph. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 - Transferred the best 2 seedlings to tent under Veg. 1000 Watt L.E.D. Each bucket contains 19 liters of R.O.W. no nutrients added. This will continue for the next 2-3 weeks depending on growth. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 Seedlings put under Light Cycle of 6 On 2 Off Ect. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - Seedlings looking good. Seems everything is fine on 6 on 2 off light cycle. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - The 3rd seed germinated is looking very healthy. Transplanted it from the hydro seed starter to a 1 gallon planter with soil. Placed this in between the 2 main plants in the D.W.C. & used R.O.W.

happy growing!!! its just been a shit week and I am just trying to make time to see the girls everyday before lights out. last week of nutrients and then its flush. I didn't go heavy at all on the nutrients, tried to stay organic for the most part using FOX FARMS soli and nutrients. 2/6/2I I try to stay away from chems to beef up the buds and I am relying on the light, bit of CO2 and the organics. problem is, I love my SF2000 so how to get more light out of this LED? do i I add another SF1000 to the mix? should I look to another lighting group to help enhance with another light bar? I don't want to get rid of a perfectly good light, I just want to enhance the buds with more light...,MAYBE if I ask SPIDER FARMER to build a custom light ( and I DID) I could get something to run down the side of the SF2000......fingers crossed

Week 13 in the garden, and it's been a week of contemplation and admiration. Despite my initial plan to flip the plants, I decided to give them another week in vegetation. It's like I'm sculpting a masterpiece, carefully grooming the plants into a perfect botanical sculpture. Working with my plants feels like art – it requires skill, love, dedication, and a sense of playing God. As I look at the tent, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and joy. These green beauties are turning out amazing, and I'm filled with overwhelming happiness whenever I get the chance to speak to people about them and show them off. But the time has come to take the next step in their journey. They're being flipped this week for sure, ready to embark on the next chapter of their growth. It's bittersweet, but I know it's all part of the magical process of growing these wonderful plants. Here's to Week 13 – a week of artistry, joy, and the promise of new beginnings. 🌿🎨

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

Panted the seeds straight in their main pots and put a plastic bag over them to increase the humidity. Removed the plastic bags after the plants were 2 days out of the soil. Temp is around 20c and humidity around 50%. No added nutrients yet. Only using some ph minus to bring the pH levels down to arounbd 6,5. After each watering I am slowly increasing the light intensity. Started on 25% then to 50% of the capacity of the lamp. Noticed in the second week that I had set my timer wrong and the plants were on a 14-8 cycle instead of a intended 18-6.

Get ready for a fun and informative update, including the training techniques i am using to shape our Tangie into a true ninja warrior! Our Tangie has been flourishing with energy and vigor, showcasing her ninja skills at every turn. With each passing day, she grows taller and stronger, reaching for the sky like a true botanical ninja. Her vibrant green leaves are a testament to her health and vitality, shimmering in the grow room like emerald blades of a ninja's sword. To help guide our Tangie's growth and maximize her potential, i've employed the art of Low Stress Training (LST). Picture this: we're like plant whisperers, gently manipulating her branches to create a symphony of growth. Through the technique of leaf bending, i encourage her branches to spread out, creating a wide and even canopy. It's like teaching her the ancient martial art of flexibility and agility. By skillfully bending and tying down her branches, i ensure that each bud site receives an equal amount of light. This training technique not only promotes better light penetration but also encourages the growth of multiple colas, leading to a higher yield of resinous and potent buds. Our Tangie is like a ninja warrior, adapting to her environment and maximizing her potential with every training session. But training isn't limited to physical techniques alone. I am also nurturing our Tangie with the perfect balance of nutrients from Aptus Holland. Their specialized formulas act as her ninja fuel, providing her with the essential elements she needs to grow strong and healthy. With each nutrient feeding, she absorbs the power of growth and development, inching closer to becoming a legendary ninja of the cannabis realm. Of course, light plays a crucial role in our Tangie's training regime. She thrives under a PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) of 500, bathing in the intense glow of her training camp. These photons are like her training partners, pushing her to optimize photosynthesis, grow denser foliage, and develop the building blocks for future bud production. With each photon absorbed, she becomes a more formidable ninja warrior. Creating the ideal environment for our Tangie is essential for her training success. She prefers a cozy temperature range of 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, providing her with the warmth and comfort of a tropical paradise. With a relative humidity level of 60 to 70%, she thrives in the perfect balance of moisture and freshness, creating an environment that supports her ninja-like growth and training. Before we conclude, let's give another shoutout to Dutch Passion, the master breeders behind our Tangie strain. Their dedication to crafting top-notch genetics has allowed us to embark on this incredible journey. I am forever grateful for their expertise and commitment to the world of cannabis cultivation. So let's continue this thrilling adventure with our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run. Embrace the power of LST and leaf bending as you shape your plants into formidable ninja warriors. Remember to provide them with the right nutrients, light, and environment to support their growth. May your gardens be filled with the spirit of the ninja, and may my Tangie's training lead to an abundance of resinous and flavorful buds. Stay tuned for the next update, where we'll unravel more tales from the captivating world of our Tangie. Until then, keep training with passion, harness the power of LST, and watch as your plants transform into stealthy ninja warriors.
