;)

Flowers really showed up this week. Started feeding flowering nutes as of tonight, so they went 2 full weeks still on veg nutes. Today is the end of week 2 since switching to flowering light schedule. Growth isn’t as explosive as it had been the first two weeks, however still growing. Slowly did some defoliating over the last 2 weeks, opened things up a bit, will do a little more this week and then leave them to grow until harvest. Stay blessed and happy growing 😎

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

The beginning of this week I topped, FIM, high stress and low stress training. Generally just beat them up. They sprung back very quickly. There’s a couple pictures of my FIM cuts I’m not sure what’s going to happen there, we will see I’m starting to wonder wheN I should put these in the flower. I have a SCROG grId already made I have included a video of my set up

Welcome ladies and gentleman to the start of week 10! Plants are officially 63 days from sow. (23rd day of flower) Flowers seem a bit small for 23 days. Could be because I let it stretch, could be because of the genetics. Regardless they look like nice little flowers. Getting a decent amount of trichomes on them. Some leaves changing color hopefully because of "fall color" and not deficiency. Looking about 7 weeks out from harvest. Thanks for checking my grow out. If you enjoy what you see leave a like or a follow! I upload here every Sunday.

Craaazyyyy weeks Craaazyyyy growth Loving it AAALLLL Ok, so, this is the 5th week. Plants started flowering during 4th. They've had massive growth (from my perspective and experience 😅😅) and started to smellll I think I was consistent on that LST. Always trying to give all the heads as much light as possible. It was a lot of work, but I still loved it. Having 2 plants makes it more fun because I need to have a diferent point of view for each one. S has been toped, and with LST I was able to have lots of heads very well positioned B is responding marvelously to bending, wich makes it hard to bend because THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO RUN TO 😂 she is growing a lot, and there's just to much leaves to tuck... As I was saying they're different, wich I am loving I decided to defoliate them as my last stress move towards the plants. Cutted the leaves that were on the bottom and covering the top heads, and the very small, tiny, thiny side branches. I am lowering the LST to minimum. Since the heads I chose, now have space and LIGHT to grow at will, I want to not disturb them as much as I can. You can see that when I defoliated them, there was light on the soil. And just in 1 day difference, even at this point, you almost can feel them grow! I was amased, because of the stress I had caused them. Yet, look with attention, you can spot the differece. (I hope you can see it too through the screen, because it's real 😅) Look at the S. She is doing just greaaaaat. Think it was a good decision to top her. Hope it keeps growing as it is! Smell is increasing Day 30 changed the light to 24h ON. Day 31 - Heads bigger - !QUESTION! -I always water the plants simultaneously. B's vase is noticeble heavier. Cant understand why... I'm going to start checking if they need to be watered at different times. I can only imagine that the root system is different, due to its "differences outside". But really! They have suffered different stress at different times... different root system = different drainage? Food for thought Day 32 Defoliated them because I thought they were too bushy. Felt like it maybe was a mystake, later, due to some recommendations i read... Day 34 Plants seem to have reacted ok to defoliation, lets see how the next days go by Day 36 Starting to get frosty and smelly Plants seem healthy ❄️ TEMPERATURE: 22-27°C RH: 40-60% WATER PH: 6.2-6.5

Buen cultivo, pero serà mejor el proximo ya que siempre hay cosas que mejorar y pulir.

Sorry for the long time no update. Work got busy and I haven’t had the time to update this. Flower has gone pretty smoothly and the girls are getting ready to finish up. I have 3 bubba pupils in the tent at the moment, with a reservation privada purple wreck, freedom of seeds Godberry, and a serious seeds AK-47. The bubba pupil phenotypes look to be all the same. Low yielding with some extremely resinous quality buds. The smell is funky and grapey. The bubba pupil buds look like they’ll be all finished up in about 1 week to 10 days. Most of the trichomes are milky, and I have yet to spot any that have turned amber. The purple wreck is starting to purple out and probably has 2 weeks and some change left. The Godberry is probably the most resinous plant, and looks like it will be the second heaviest yielder next to the AK-47. The resin on the Godberry is extremely fruity, and leaves your fingers smelling like a bowl of fruit loops after plucking a few fan leaves. The AK-47 is the fattest bitch of them all. Big colas everywhere across its canopy and they’re falling over because I did not install a trellis on this grow. The AK-47 has an old school funk to it, and has around 5% amber trichomes. I’m thinking I will start to flush her at the start of week 8 (in 3 days) and let her finish up at a full 8 weeks.

Not quite ready. I will give her another week.

She's developing very nice on her second week, she's not developing as good as her sisters but she's definitely coming along. Let's see how she performs. 💎💚👨‍🌾

Day 77 - She's growing well this week. Starting to show her trichomes 😍

I topped her this week and she became very bushy within two days. I also changed her into a 10 gallon grow bag and she is loving it. I have increased nutrients this week as I noticed a slight bit of leaf curl due to too much nitrogen so washed roots down a bit a diluted nutes slightly and she came around pretty quickly! Growing quickly

Start of day 14 of flower. Still stretching and plants are happy. Next week will be doing major defoliation and taking cuts. Picked up spider farmer GlowR 80, these are at 40 watts each at 650nm red light . I remember reading about side and under lighting way back in the early 90s in Ed Rosenthal's grow book but never attempted it. These are very bright and torched my bare eyes when I glanced at them. Don't have room on the sides in this tent so I'll put them under the canopy once I give the plants haircuts in a few days, hopefully that will add a little bump to the popcorn.

Et voilà la floraison à bien commencé sur les 2 plantes la bannana x purple à un peut d avance sur la west coast og mais elle aussi a bien commencé (et moi j latrouve trop belle forme, structure;) Voilà voilà rien de neuf autrement a part que d ici 2 jours je commence le flusch de la scherbet (la grosse derrière la bannana et une fous couler la west coast og ira rejoindre la bannana x purple histoire que je puisse fermer la tante pour utiliser du co2 en gaz (pour mon dernier grow fast bud et dernier grow de l année j vais essayer de tous faire pour avoir une recolte digne de se nom;)

Just growing..attempted LST with 2 but I'm still not confident enough..work in progress. Gave them EWC yesterday with some glacial dust. I need them a lil taller right? Se7000 light is finicky..trying to find the sweet spot..

Ak49 3 weeks into flower and Bruce banner 2weeks into flower:)

Hey all sorry for the late update. Got really busy with work and just wasnt uploading. I had to cull phat Gary cause she was a genetic herm, I’m talking pollen sacks all the way up the main stem. I’ve seen a few stress sacks here and there on the lowers but nothing like this. I added a video of it so you might know what to look out for. It’s my first experience with exotic genetix and while I have heard of them having herm issues before, I have never had anything quite like phat Gary. But, on the other hand, this Gary Poppins #2 is the best smelling plant I’ve ever had. She smells like a straight strawberry soda, just this very fizzy strawberry scent. It’s unreal. Gary Poppins #1 has a similar terp profile, but not as loud and she’s frosty as ever. Both the perm marker s1’s are identical. Both look exactly like the perm marker flower I’ve bought from seed junky in the past. Very lime green buds with light oranges hairs. Smells just like a permanent marker. Couldn’t be happier with how this run is going, well except Phat Gary. Still haven’t decided on Exotic Genetix yet. I guess we will wait and see how Blueberry Gary comes out, she’s currently in week 6 veg. Shout out to the mad scientist Jbeezy though, this perm marker is unreal. When I saw he was releasing s1’s I couldn’t believe it. Gonna wash this entire run for some fresh frozen. I would absolutely love to get this Gary Poppins #2 smell to transfer to some live rosin. Will update this when we finish and I’ll make a diary for blueberry Gary and Gastro pop from compound genetics when I get a chance. Until then, happy growing all Day: 52F - Week 8 🌡️:79 Fahrenheit 💦:50% 💡:75% @ 14 inches

KEVS_BEST – Woche 8 Blütephase (Run 3) / Week 8 Flowering Phase (Run 3) Mit dem Start der achten Blütewoche beginnt der finale Reifeprozess: Die Sherbzooka-Pflanzen zeigen nun ein deutliches Anzeichen für beginnende Seneszenz. Die Zuckerblätter beginnen sich gelblich zu verfärben, Trichome sind überwiegend milchig, erste bernsteinfarbene Köpfe erscheinen – der perfekte Moment, um gezielt Fade einzuleiten. Die Buds haben nochmals deutlich an Volumen zugelegt, sind kompakt, klebrig und mit einer dichten Harzschicht überzogen. Der Duft ist intensiv fruchtig-süß mit säuerlichen Untertönen – ein unverkennbares Sherbzooka-Terpenprofil. Diese Woche wird die Düngung langsam reduziert: Zu Beginn der Woche wird eine Mischung aus 50 % Core und 50 % Fade gegeben, gegen Ende steht dann nur noch Fade im Fokus, bevor in der finalen Woche komplett auf Wasser mit Cleanse & Balance umgestellt wird. Setup: Die Umstellung verlief bisher reibungslos – EC, pH und VPD sind konstant, kein Stress sichtbar. Die Pflanzen wirken energiegeladen und reifungsbereit. 🌱 Status: Beginn der Endreife. 🔥 Potenzial: Sehr hoch – intensive Harzproduktion, ausgewogene Struktur. Hinweis: Die Wochenprotokolle von Grow 1 und 2 folgen zeitnah rückwirkend – aufgrund von Zeitmangel wurden sie bisher noch nicht nachgetragen. ENGLISH KEVS_BEST – Week 8 Flowering Phase (Run 3) Week 8 marks the beginning of the final ripening phase. Sherbzooka is showing clear signs of senescence: sugar leaves begin to fade, most trichomes have turned cloudy with a few amber heads appearing – the timing for the Fade regimen is just right. Buds have swollen further, covered in a thick layer of sticky resin. The aroma profile is rich, fruity-sweet with sour undertones – a signature Sherbzooka experience. This week starts with 50% Core / 50% Fade and will shift to full Fade by the end of the week, followed by pure water + Cleanse and Balance during the final flush phase. Setup: Environmental conditions remain stable, plants show no signs of stress. Maturity and resin production are peaking. 🌱 Status: Entering final ripening. 🔥 Potential: Excellent – high resin content and strong structure. Note: Due to time constraints, the weekly logs for Grow 1 and Grow 2 will be completed retroactively.

Buds keep growing! However, the two Mandarin Punch (Auto) buds grow slower than the two photoperiod plants. Watering as usual, see report in the pictures for more info. The tips of the leaves continue to slowly getting brown so I increased the dosage of the Biobloom. I'm now adding nutrient as advised by the datasheet compared to past weeks where the dosage was reduced. Let's see if it helps. I continued to remove some leaves here and there. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 120cm (+0) O.G. Kush : 81cm (+6) Mandarin Punch #1 : 142cm (+2) Mandarin Punch #2 : 123cm (+0) I think the plants have reach their final heights :)
