4/1/25 She has super long, almost spider web type pistils that are super beautiful. I can see the calyxs packing on under neath the pistils and forming the buds. She has a nice stacking to her. Maybe 6+ nodal cola. Shining, fuzzy, glistening trichomes stretching out across the fan leaves. Top Dressed with 2Tsp of Bloom, 1tsp of Microbe Charge, and 1Tsp Bloom Booster. Ive also been trying a new method for the top dressing efficacy. I got the idea while watching build a soil using the earth box. I have started covering the soil with some aluminum foil to kind of act as a cover so the feeder roots will come up to where the top dressing is. which seems to be working fairly well and simply. 4/6/25 She is producing super nicely so far. Seems to be thinner, longer buds. But i can visibly see the buds forming calyxes underneath the pistils. Very bulbous and full calyx stacking 4/7/25 the buds are starting to pack on some weight. everything looks happy and

After 14 days of burying the popped seeds these were the results using the bac germination method, but on a substrate experiment the, interesting results shows that on the 28 seeds, up to 14 days the decimation was ambient factors, nowadays 9 are thriving on light mix unlikely coco coir that damped off way more , i can't say coco is bad as the freebie i received shall be very welcomed if is not as good to germinate , is more gtg to to clone some interesting black roses pheno and the good karma part will be present on the next run, just with prone cuts tried to be converted to side plants. There is a slight chance that there can be more or less plantlings with the course of the weeks as some had grown but didn't drop of the shell . Heat was oven like at some moments and had a negative influence, as i fight 30c at peak hour temperatures trying to keep them fresh with the humidifier at 75% ambient, and 26c average . There is a reduced chance that some plants can still damp off but , i just need 8 as i intend to use 7 or 11lt plastic pots , buts that no reason to treat them bad, the weather is fortituous and i can't control it more , so I MUST STATE, THESE SMALL CREATURES EAT BETTER THAN ME. they will be feeded with biobizz, bac, atami, and top crop, the products i use to keep my hair fabulous. shoutout to tanu mapu because they will be a repeater when i need to provide myself with quality soil.

Week 6/day 41

Buds size growth on #1 is good for the stage she's at will breed a branch or two later down.... Growth on #2 is just great..if u been following u will see exactly what am talking about or u can take a stroll 🔙

Hi Fellow Growers They are going good. The heat its stressing them. the are not drinking so much water and yellowing a bit.... Not so Nitrogen Green but i thinkthey are doing fine. Maybe some Co2 whould help them. Give me some Ideias how can a use the heat and make it become beneficial Chears BrotherHood

First flowers appeared! :) The dehumidifier is still always ON to get +/-50% humidity. Weather is pretty wet outside, it doesn't help. I poor +/- 2l in each pot during each watering (a little bit more for the 26l pots). Second week with 12h of light and the stretch continues! Next week I will do a second big defoliation. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 88cm (+18) O.G. Kush : 60cm (+12) Mandarin Punch #1 : 104cm (+28) Mandarin Punch #2 : 95cm (+24)

Всем привет 🖖 Бортовой журнал запись 8 Я начну эту запись с того что расскажу вам о трагедии которая произошла сегодня у меня дома 18.02.2023 Первые 2 видео я снимал сам, там не видно языков пламени, не успел заснять этот ужас который я видел. Было спокойное утро 09.32 часов, как обычно звучала сирена звук воздушной тривоги который звучит каждый день по несколько раз. Я поехал в другой конец города менять документы, мы стояли на парковке с моей девушкой и пили кофе, рядом с нами было десятки людей, и тут мы слышим взрывы ракет. Россия государство терорист эти преступники и убийцы в очередной раз нанесли новый ракетный удар. Это был ужас, сначала упала одна ракета и прозвучал очень сильный громкий взрыв, все люди начали кричать и плакать от страха, спустя минуту прозвучал второй взрыв....... Громкие хлопки и языки пламени поднялись на десятки метров в воздух. Это ужас, это очень страшно, взрывы огонь звуки сирены, кругом крики людей и паника. Русские убийцы стреляют по обычным домам, я хочу что бы каждый кто это читает знал то что россия это террористы которые убивают мирных граждан своими ракетами !!! В результате обстрела пострадали 3 учебных заведения, несколько жилых домов, 17 автомобилей, раненых....... Ублюдки горите в аду!!!! 🇺🇦 💪 УКРАИНА 💪 🇺🇦 мы победим! СЛАВА УКРАИНЕ!!! ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!!! Дневник. Мне тяжело вести дневник, кто читает мои записи знает что у меня нет света, нет отопления, на нас падают ракеты...... Растения сладко пахнут, цветы дозревают несмотря на что, много ещё прозрачных трихом которые так и манят своим сладким ароматом. Purple Punch почему-то не меняет свой цвет на пурпурный, немного фиолетового оттенка есть но я надеялся что они будут фиолетовые. С водой обратного осмоса смешал Delta 9 и Booster это был последний полив удобрениями, дальше только вода. Я устал пить алкоголь, успокоительное, снотворное что бы уснуть что бы не бояться что меня и мою семью убить, я хочу покурить эти цветы что бы мне стало спокойно. Каннабис меня лечит от тривоги, бессонницы, нервов. Всем мирного неба 💪🇺🇦 будьте живы и здоровы..... Пока......

Yellow butterfly came to see me the other day; that was nice. Starting to show signs of stress on the odd leaf, localized isolated blips, blemishes, who said growing up was going to be easy! Smaller leaves have less surface area for stomata to occupy, so the stomata are packed more densely to maintain adequate gas exchange. Smaller leaves might have higher stomatal density to compensate for their smaller size, potentially maximizing carbon uptake and minimizing water loss. Environmental conditions like light intensity and water availability can influence stomatal density, and these factors can affect leaf size as well. Leaf development involves cell division and expansion, and stomatal differentiation is sensitive to these processes. In essence, the smaller leaf size can lead to a higher stomatal density due to the constraints of available space and the need to optimize gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. In the long term, UV-B radiation can lead to more complex changes in stomatal morphology, including effects on both stomatal density and size, potentially impacting carbon sequestration and water use. In essence, UV-B can be a double-edged sword for stomata: It can induce stomatal closure and potentially reduce stomatal size, but it may also trigger an increase in stomatal density as a compensatory mechanism. It is generally more efficient for gas exchange to have smaller leaves with a higher stomatal density, rather than large leaves with lower stomatal density. This is because smaller stomata can facilitate faster gas exchange due to shorter diffusion pathways, even though they may have the same total pore area as fewer, larger stomata. Leaf size tends to decrease in colder climates to reduce heat loss, while larger leaves are more common in warmer, humid environments. Plants in arid regions often develop smaller leaves with a thicker cuticle and/or hairs to minimize water loss through transpiration. Conversely, plants in wet environments may have larger leaves and drip tips to facilitate water runoff. Leaf size and shape can vary based on light availability. For example, leaves in shaded areas may be larger and thinner to maximize light absorption. Leaf mass per area (LMA) can be higher in stressful environments with limited nutrients, indicating a greater investment in structural components for protection and critical resource conservation. Wind speed, humidity, and soil conditions can also influence leaf morphology, leading to variations in leaf shape, size, and surface characteristics. Small leaves: Reduce water loss in arid or cold climates. Environmental conditions significantly affect gene expression in plants. Plants are sessile organisms, meaning they cannot move to escape unfavorable conditions, so they rely on gene expression to adapt to their surroundings. Environmental factors like light, temperature, water, and nutrient availability can trigger changes in gene expression, allowing plants to respond to and survive in diverse environments. Depending on the environment a young seedling encounters, the developmental program following seed germination could be skotomorphogenesis in the dark or photomorphogenesis in the light. Light signals are interpreted by a repertoire of photoreceptors followed by sophisticated gene expression networks, eventually resulting in developmental changes. The expression and functions of photoreceptors and key signaling molecules are highly coordinated and regulated at multiple levels of the central dogma in molecular biology. Light activates gene expression through the actions of positive transcriptional regulators and the relaxation of chromatin by histone acetylation. Small regulatory RNAs help attenuate the expression of light-responsive genes. Alternative splicing, protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, the formation of diverse transcriptional complexes, and selective protein degradation all contribute to proteome diversity and change the functions of individual proteins. Photomorphogenesis, the light-driven developmental changes in plants, significantly impacts gene expression. It involves a cascade of events where light signals, perceived by photoreceptors, trigger changes in gene expression patterns, ultimately leading to the development of a plant in response to its light environment. Genes are expressed, not dictated! While having the potential to encode proteins, genes are not automatically and constantly active. Instead, their expression (the process of turning them into proteins) is carefully regulated by the cell, responding to internal and external signals. This means that genes can be "turned on" or "turned off," and the level of expression can be adjusted, depending on the cell's needs and the surrounding environment. In plants, genes are not simply "on" or "off" but rather their expression is carefully regulated based on various factors, including the cell type, developmental stage, and environmental conditions. This means that while all cells in a plant contain the same genetic information (the same genes), different cells will express different subsets of those genes at different times. This regulation is crucial for the proper functioning and development of the plant. When a green plant is exposed to red light, much of the red light is absorbed, but some is also reflected back. The reflected red light, along with any blue light reflected from other parts of the plant, can be perceived by our eyes as purple. Carotenoids absorb light in blue-green region of the visible spectrum, complementing chlorophyll's absorption in the red region. They safeguard the photosynthetic machinery from excessive light by activating singlet oxygen, an oxidant formed during photosynthesis. Carotenoids also quench triplet chlorophyll, which can negatively affect photosynthesis, and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cellular proteins. Additionally, carotenoid derivatives signal plant development and responses to environmental cues. They serve as precursors for the biosynthesis of phytohormones such as abscisic acid () and strigolactones (SLs). These pigments are responsible for the orange, red, and yellow hues of fruits and vegetables, while acting as free scavengers to protect plants during photosynthesis. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is an electronically excited state of molecular oxygen (O₂). Singlet oxygen is produced as a byproduct during photosynthesis, primarily within the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center and light-harvesting antenna complex. This occurs when excess energy from excited chlorophyll molecules is transferred to molecular oxygen. While singlet oxygen can cause oxidative damage, plants have mechanisms to manage its production and mitigate its harmful effects. Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is considered a reactive oxygen species (ROS). It's a form of oxygen with higher energy and reactivity compared to the more common triplet oxygen found in its ground state. Singlet oxygen is generated both in biological systems, such as during photosynthesis in plants, and in cellular processes, and through chemical and photochemical reactions. While singlet oxygen is a ROS, it's important to note that it differs from other ROS like superoxide (O₂⁻), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and hydroxyl radicals (OH) in its formation, reactivity, and specific biological roles. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) protects plants from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) by dissipating excess light energy as heat. This process reduces the overexcitation of photosynthetic pigments, which can lead to the production of ROS, thus mitigating the potential for photodamage. Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, plays a crucial role in photoprotection in plants by both enhancing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). In high-light conditions, zeaxanthin is synthesized from violaxanthin through the xanthophyll cycle, and this zeaxanthin then facilitates heat dissipation of excess light energy (NPQ) and quenches harmful ROS. The Issue of Singlet Oxygen!! ROS Formation: Blue light, with its higher energy photons, can promote the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen, within the plant. Potential Damage: High levels of ROS can damage cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and DNA, potentially impacting plant health and productivity. Balancing Act: A balanced spectrum of light, including both blue and red light, is crucial for mitigating the harmful effects of excessive blue light and promoting optimal plant growth and stress tolerance. The Importance of Red Light: Red light (especially far-red) can help to mitigate the negative effects of excessive blue light by: Balancing the Photoreceptor Response: Red light can influence the activity of photoreceptors like phytochrome, which are involved in regulating plant responses to different light wavelengths. Enhancing Antioxidant Production: Red and blue light can stimulate the production of antioxidants, which help to neutralize ROS and protect the plant from oxidative damage. Optimizing Photosynthesis: Red light is efficiently used in photosynthesis, and its combination with blue light can lead to increased photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production. In controlled environments like greenhouses and vertical farms, optimizing the ratio of blue and red light is a key strategy for promoting healthy plant growth and yield. Understanding the interplay between blue light signaling, ROS production, and antioxidant defense mechanisms can inform breeding programs and biotechnological interventions aimed at improving plant stress resistance. In summary, while blue light is essential for plant development and photosynthesis, it's crucial to balance it with other light wavelengths, particularly red light, to prevent excessive ROS formation and promote overall plant health. Oxidative damage in plants occurs when there's an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the plant's ability to neutralize them, leading to cellular damage. This imbalance, known as oxidative stress, can result from various environmental stressors, affecting plant growth, development, and overall productivity. Causes of Oxidative Damage: Abiotic stresses: These include extreme temperatures (heat and cold), drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity, and excessive light. Biotic stresses: Pathogen attacks and insect infestations can also trigger oxidative stress. Metabolic processes: Normal cellular activities, particularly in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes, can generate ROS as byproducts. Certain chlorophyll biosynthesis intermediates can produce singlet oxygen (1O2), a potent ROS, leading to oxidative damage. ROS can damage lipids (lipid peroxidation), proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA). Oxidative stress can compromise the integrity of cell membranes, affecting their function and permeability. Oxidative damage can interfere with essential cellular functions, including photosynthesis, respiration, and signal transduction. In severe cases, oxidative stress can trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis). Oxidative damage can lead to stunted growth, reduced biomass, and lower crop yields. Plants have evolved intricate antioxidant defense systems to counteract oxidative stress. These include: Enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and various peroxidases scavenge ROS and neutralize their damaging effects. Antioxidant molecules like glutathione, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), C60 fullerene, and carotenoids directly neutralize ROS. Developing plant varieties with gene expression focused on enhanced antioxidant capacity and stress tolerance is crucial. Optimizing irrigation, fertilization, and other management practices can help minimize stress and oxidative damage. Applying antioxidant compounds or elicitors can help plants cope with oxidative stress. Introducing genes for enhanced antioxidant enzymes or stress-related proteins over generations. Phytohormones, also known as plant hormones, are a group of naturally occurring organic compounds that regulate plant growth, development, and various physiological processes. The five major classes of phytohormones are: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. In addition to these, other phytohormones like brassinosteroids, jasmonates, and salicylates also play significant roles. Here's a breakdown of the key phytohormones: Auxins: Primarily involved in cell elongation, root initiation, and apical dominance. Gibberellins: Promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. Cytokinins: Stimulate cell division and differentiation, and delay leaf senescence. Ethylene: Regulates fruit ripening, leaf abscission, and senescence. Abscisic acid (ABA): Plays a role in seed dormancy, stomatal closure, and stress responses. Brassinosteroids: Involved in cell elongation, division, and stress responses. Jasmonates: Regulate plant defense against pathogens and herbivores, as well as other processes. Salicylic acid: Plays a role in plant defense against pathogens. 1. Red and Far-Red Light (Phytochromes): Red light: Primarily activates the phytochrome system, converting it to its active form (Pfr), which promotes processes like stem elongation and flowering. Far-red light: Inhibits the phytochrome system by converting the active Pfr form back to the inactive Pr form. This can trigger shade avoidance responses and inhibit germination. Phytohormones: Red and far-red light regulate phytohormones like auxin and gibberellins, which are involved in stem elongation and other growth processes. 2. Blue Light (Cryptochromes and Phototropins): Blue light: Activates cryptochromes and phototropins, which are involved in various processes like stomatal opening, seedling de-etiolation, and phototropism (growth towards light). Phytohormones: Blue light affects auxin levels, influencing stem growth, and also impacts other phytohormones involved in these processes. Example: Blue light can promote vegetative growth and can interact with red light to promote flowering. 3. UV-B Light (UV-B Receptors): UV-B light: Perceived by UVR8 receptors, it can affect plant growth and development and has roles in stress responses, like UV protection. Phytohormones: UV-B light can influence phytohormones involved in stress responses, potentially affecting growth and development. 4. Other Colors: Green light: Plants are generally less sensitive to green light, as chlorophyll reflects it. Other wavelengths: While less studied, other wavelengths can also influence plant growth and development through interactions with different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Key Points: Cross-Signaling: Plants often experience a mix of light wavelengths, leading to complex interactions between different photoreceptors and phytohormones. Species Variability: The precise effects of light color on phytohormones can vary between different plant species. Hormonal Interactions: Phytohormones don't act in isolation; their interactions and interplay with other phytohormones and environmental signals are critical for plant responses. The spectral ratio of light (the composition of different colors of light) significantly influences a plant's hormonal balance. Different wavelengths of light are perceived by specific photoreceptors in plants, which in turn regulate the production and activity of various plant hormones (phytohormones). These hormones then control a wide range of developmental processes.

I think my girls have finished growing and are starting to show their potential

Everything is about to change for these girlies as I have a new light on arrival to cover the whole tent area. TSW2000 courtesy of my mars hydro sponsors! The lights clearly make a huge difference in growths among others I’ve seen on the market! I’m glad I’m a loyal Martian 😎 👾 👽 I’ll continue as I have until then!

Looking healthy, hoping it'll be a girl. I'm ready to get my hands on some Blueberry OG again, I haven't had it in over 2 years. I remember it being a relaxing but still alert & dissipating my daytime migraine.

Thank You All For This Amazing Day

These three girls got transplanted today into their five gallon fabric pots. They were looking hungry so decided to do it early. I normally wait till 3.5 to 4 weeks. They were added to my custom mix of coco with perlite and added amendments, worm castings, and purple cow soil. Watered first with dechlorinated tap water and next with added mycos and cal mag.

Bit weird managing stretch this Way, not bad though.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 06/02/2020 - Gave her 1,5l of tap water, checked the trichomes still transparent almost turning cloudy maybe a few more day!! 08/02/2020 - Showing her first amber trichomes going to harvest in 1 to 2 days !

End of 10th week. The harvest is just around the corner

420 Fastbuds Week 6 Gorilla Cookies Auto Weekly update. Thus week has been getting chilly. Down to the mid 50's at night inside the tent. I did add General Hydroponics 3 part flora series to give a little boost. So far both seem to be OK and progressing beautifully into mid flower stage. All in all Happy Growing
