They haven’t shown much visible growth so far, which I believe is because their development has been primarily focused on establishing a strong root system. We initially made the mistake of keeping the light positioned too high, which likely influenced their above-ground growth. We have since begun fertilizing with basic nutrients and added more soil to the pots in order to better support and stabilize the stems, encouraging healthier overall development.

The most important contribution that any man can make to a garden -- even more important than water or compost-- is the radiation he himself puts into the soil while cultivating it. Epinoia (ἐπίνοια) is a Greek term meaning thought, intention, purpose, or conception, stemming from "mind" (nous) and "upon" (epi), representing the mind's reflective or creative process, used in philosophy (Aristotle, Gnosticism) and theology to discuss understanding and divine names, appearing once in the New Testament for the "intent of your heart" (Acts 8:22). It signifies the mind's operation to form ideas or designs, contrasting with raw data or innate perception, and in Gnosticism, it's an emanation of divine wisdom (Sophia). Exclusion Zone and Coherent Domains in water, broken down into layman’s terms. Imagine you have a glass of water with tiny particles (like dust or dye) mixed in. Now, put a special surface—like a gel or a hydrophilic (water-loving) material—into that water. Next to that surface, a layer of water forms that is totally clear. All the particles and dye are pushed away from it. This water is not just liquid; it has changed into a structured, gel-like state. It "excludes" solutes (particles), hence the name "Exclusion Zone" or EZ water. To understand why the water behaves this way, scientists look at "Coherent Domains" (CDs). Molecules move randomly, like a chaotic crowd. A group of water molecules gets energized and starts acting as one single unit, moving together in perfect rhythm. This state is created by electromagnetic energy and quantum effects, forming organized, crystalline-like structures. Think of a flock of birds or a school of fish. They aren't tied together, but they move in perfect unison, reacting as one. In a Coherent Domain, water molecules act like this synchronized flock rather than independent, random molecules. Coherent Domains are the "rhythm" or the "structure" inside the water. The Exclusion Zone is the physical space where this structured, coherent water builds up next to surfaces. The interaction of light—specifically UVB light—with liquid water generates quantum Coherent Domains (CDs). This type of water is believed to be vital for biology, acting as an energy storage system inside our cells, as EZ water forms naturally around membranes and proteins. Light has a duality fundamentally. It can act as a particle or a wave photoelectrically. You do not have to understand or like this, just accept it because nature is absurd at times in what she gives us. When the EZ forms, the EZ then begins to absorb light in the 270 nm range to increase the EZ power and potency. This is in the ultraviolet range. Water absorbs ideally in the red frequency range 1500 nm -3000 nm. Red light builds the battery, and once the EZ is formed, UV light adds massive power to the EZ to drive all biochemical reactions via enzyme flux using proton tunneling. Releasing millions of almost free electrons. Great book Library of Congress Control Number: 2020930536 ISBN 978-1-64502-009-7.

Ok the branches on this one were barely able to support the buds, while a good thing to have heavy buds give this Si from early veg to late flower to keep em strong. Lot of leaves but not a pain smells great but can be a little funky at times right after lights on.

DAY63 WEEK9 = Impatiently waiting till harvest time 😘 Beautiful to enjoy the plants ripening and finishing 😍😍😍 Congrats to BIOTABS, because their tablest are really superb 🙏 I'm super satisfied 😁😁😁 Wedding Gelato, Triple G, and Cookies Gelato are completely ripe.👍😃 All their buds are rockhard 💪😖 👉 Cookies Gelato have become completely purple with beautiful piled buds and orange pistils, and looks delicious. Smells of berries and 😵 👉 Wedding Gelato has round buds (easy to trim) with mixed colors : gold, brass, brown, yellow, red and green colors with orange pistils 😊 Fine and accessible smell, pleasant and no overbearing 😄 🙏 👉 Triple G will be the hardest to trim, because of her quirky shaped buds. She has big internodes and big buds scattered across her tall sturdy stalks. Beautiful buds, a pleasure for the eyes. Her smell is pungent, sometimes narcotic even. She will get you stoned in no time 😋 👉 Liberty Haze could have another week. But she lacks some nitrogen; watch her leaves turn yellow, and make her taste sooo soft 👻 She hasn't any purple or red colors, only green and yellow. Her buds are leafy, not that firm, but volumineus. She's soo sweet, with hints of lime. 😘 I defoliated the plants in week 3 because I had to treat the plants against spider mites. Because of this, the plants had fewer leaves, the light could penetrate much deeper and now the lower buds are ripen as well 🙏. I will continue to apply this technique in the future. 👍👍👍 These will be the last pictures before harvesting 😍

Day 36 Done nothing just let them grow and trimmed a few leaves Day 37 - watered them with feeding. Decreased the amount by 25% except the base nutes. Added 12ml CalMag on 4L water by request of the community. If leaves curl down more, I will consider a flush. Day 38 No feed. Color changed from the middleone overnight, I think that’s a good sign. Maybe someone can comment on that 💪🏽. For me it looks very good, I know a few leaves show signs of nutrient burn but I decreased already and no new signs appeared Day 39 No feed until tomorrow. Day 40 Fed them with very low amount of fertilizer. I aimed for a ppm of 1000 but I went a bit higher until I have osmosis water . Runoff ppm was 2000, but I have to say I am measuring ppm since this week and will fix this problem Day 42 No feed

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and have been impressed with how this girl has been producing. Not as “thick” as she could be but still looking like pretty tight buds. Will be giving her a feeding of nutes tomorrow. Day 51 - Thinking this girl might be getting kind of close to harvest. About two weeks or so maybe. Looks great for a mutant. Gave her a full feeding of the foxfarm trio today. Day 52 - Gave the girl a pretty decent defoliation today to try and maximize the light to bud sites. Don’t know how much longer she’s got, 2 weeksish is what I’m thinking but not gonna harvest early. If she needs more than two weeks, then I’ll give her more time.

The grow was one of the best I've done, the strain itself is awesome, taste, smell and effect are all 11/10. If theres one strain I would grow again it would be this, if you haven't tried it.. it's a must grow. A hidden GEM for sure. Do not miss out!

I wanted to use the flowering nutrients (I think it's the bloom nutrients) but it's been raining a lot lately. The soil is still quite saturated so I'll wait and see if it'll dry out a bit in a few days before I give it some food. So far the trichomes are more visible on both beauties. I've started to trim more of the lower and fan leaves. I would say about 1/4 of the bottom is pretty airy. Working my way up every day. It has been cold the last 2 days dipping anywhere between 10C to 15C in the evening and day time high of 15C to 18C. It's supposed to heat up (25C-28C) in the next few days but then back with some cold days again. That's the problem with Canadian Mother Nature; can't make up her mind. This will test my plants and see how they do with the ups and downs. Hopefully it won't affect them that much. I've also started rotating them in case the sun isn't getting certain parts of the plant. I'm not sure if it matters but it isn't cumbersome to do so why not. So far I've been lucky to not worry about any infestation nor abnormal leaf coloring. I usually do a deep watering only once a week if it's a normal week with no scorching hot days. There was a period of 3 scorching hot days and they definitely were droopy and thirsty. So I must have watered them 3x over a span of 7 days. Very excited to continue to see them grow into beasts!

This strain went so much better than last year. A lot more resin production which I'm putting down to my good ol' gallon of Molasses. Seriously. Worked so much better than the $40 flowering nutes that I used last year. So honestly, I spent like $250 on nutes and sprays last year, yet I only spent around $125 this year, no mineral salts, natural everything and I ended up with better bud. Didn't have to spend time flushing or worrying about burning plants and trying to remember what I fed when and which product I need to use next, etc. Keepin' it simple. I also had less mold thanks to the tomato roof and also I was more diligent about caterpillars. And of course I really like the tomato cages. I mean some of the branches do rub, and they don't look the greatest in the photos (maybe I need to paint them green for next year?) But the convenience factor is high. It work out a lot better than the staking and tying I was doing last year. I had about 25% better harvest, since last year was 2.8 oz per plant and this is 3.72 oz of dry bud. So that's a big improvement! Not to mention better quality and not just raw numbers. And last year I harvested everything, whereas this year I didn't deal with a lot of the little popcorns and gave them to the livestock. But I gotta say that the pictures don't do her justice. She absolutely glittered in the sunlight. And I don't think the other strains will get nearly as frosty. Not to mention that distinct aroma of guailol. So intoxicating! Cut down most of the colas Wednesday and finished lower colas Saturday. Washed as always with 1/4 cup each of baking soda and lemon juice in 5 gallons of warm water and rinsed in 5 gallon plain cold water. Hung up to dry in the upstairs of the barn with the oscillating fan (Do pardon the mess, my mother in-law is a hoarder and we need to downsize her clutter since she's safely thousands of miles away). Storing in mason jars in cabinet with 58% Boveda humidity packs. The 62's I used last year were a little too humid for long term storage so I'm trying the 58's this year. For some reason Growdiaries isn't letting me review this strain at the top or the Big Bloom and I'm wondering if that's because I've already reviewed both? But anyway, I've gotta say that this bud is higher quality than what I produced last year. It's stronger and you really feel like you're wrapped in a warm blanket with this strain. I also got a little bit of a headband with what I sampled, so we'll see what she's like after she cures a bit. It's a wonderful comfort at the end of a long day. About an hour of being happy and relaxed and then after that it's all you can do to keep your eyes open. I really enjoy making caramels with this strain. It's so easy to just grab one out of the freezer, and that way I sleep all night😴 1 cup Cannabutter 2 cups brown sugar 1 can sweetened condensed milk Melt butter with sugar on stovetop over low heat until combined. Add milk and gradually increase heat while stirring. You want to bring the mixture to 245F or 118C but you want to do so slowly so that your don't burn the mixture, and you want to shut it off immediately once you get there. You can pour it into molds, little paper cups or I pour it onto a parchment liked cookie sheet. Feel free to sprinkle a little finishing salt on top if you like salted caramels. Then I put them into the freezer to harden before wrapping. I wrap them on squares of parchment about 4"x4" and put them in a freezer bag. If cutting, I usually get 40 caramels that weigh 20-22 grams each. The most important thing is to be gentle and stir often. Don't scorch it! Otherwise this recipe is pretty darn easy, you just need a candy thermometer.

The growing cycle it self worked out as expected, except that the pH-level was way off from where it should be, and I found out a bit too late. Because of this the outcome of the harvest didn't say much about the potential of this strain, but as soon as I got enough time and space, she will get a new chance to shine. 2018-03-01. This is my review / smoke report of this lovely cbd flower. There are rock hard buds and almost no give at all, even in those smaller buds. When you grind it the scent will appear more than just smelling on the buds. It smells a little weak of grass, wood, bark, sweet, lemon, honey, skunk and some kind of spice. The taste is orange, mandarin, honey, bark, popcorn and pepper. The effect is directly, the thc feeling above the eyes and in the forehead, it fells like its a higher thc levels in this strain compered to the cbd strains i tried before. A little light ringing in the ears and a slight dry mouth. After 10 minutes, the cbd kicks in and and balance the thc high. The neck and shoulders begin to relax and the feeling continues down over the back and chest down to the stomach. A calming, relaxing, and slightly energetic feeling. After 15-20 minutes it is down in the legs and feet, and you can feel a vibrating feeling in your muscles, joints in a pleasant way. It reduces my tense muscles and some of the nervpain i got. Its a good strain for releasing stress and get you in a relaxed and satisfied mood. It is a very well-balanced strain and it fits in all sorts of contexts. If you take this in the morning or mid day it will give you a small energy boost and get you in the mood for doing something. I think this is a lovely strain and I highly recommend it to everyone but especially for more inexperienced people that dont like the high thc strains and want to have a good relaxant, pain controlling, anti depressant medication that also can give energy or help with getting to sleep. This is a must try strain.

Hi guys!! This time we want to grow 8 cannabis genetics from 7 companies!! 1.DNA Genetics: OG Kush 2.Delicious Seeds: Lord Kush 3.In House Genetics:Cakes N Cream 4.Anesia Seeds: Slurricane 5.Ripper Seeds:Acid Dough 6.Barney's Farm:Acapulco Gold 7.Royal Queen Seeds:Special Kush #1 8.Delicious Seeds:Chocobang The first and most important thing I do before planting the seeds is to disinfect the culture medium and the culture pots. I do this with (bordeaux mixture sc20%), (chlorpyrifos). I used sterile gauze to soak the seeds. And I set the ambient humidity to 80% The seeds germinate after 48 hours.

Today i changed the light from Mars Hydro300W classic to MH TS1000. Can tell straight away its much brighter and more like the sun. Hopefully it’ll be better and they grow strong! Ive had the ladies in their 2 litre fibre pots and been watering a bit more now that they’re out of the propagator since 3 days ago. Actually i took them out late i suppose, and maybe the reason one of them has splotches is because of the high humidity of those couple of nights i thought it would be ok without the extraction fan for a few hours, however the ranges were going from like 90-70 or something. Anyway they’re big enough now to be outside on their own. Might be a bit late to start nutrients but going to pick some up on the weekend and start them off on Biobizz standard nutrient. Got to be watering more than i have as today noticed on 2 of them the leaves were drooping. Think they should be watered twice and around 75ml per plant but still getting used to these fibre pots that dry out quickly. Last thing i want is to screw it up early and lose any of these precious babies. Going to ask a couple questions to clear up some queries i got. Till next week...

First day went as expected. I put the paper towel in a small see-thru plastic container and put it on the table. With a bit of water and the seeds in side, the germination has now started! Day 2 no progression, moved the tray into my furnace room (pitch black and warm) Day 3 major progression. I got them out and started to prep the jiffy pellets. Shortly after I transferred the roughly half inch tarp roots with seeds into the jiffy pellets, root down, seed up, slightly covered with dirt. I soaked them in water (like a beginner i overwatered heavily knowing what I know now). I placed them back in the tray and put them at a window for light. (Note) the plan was to do outdoor so no light or tent was ordered at this point. Day 4-7 not much progression seeing as the clouds and rain showed up...

Welcome to Ultimate Auto Grow by PoshGrow! 🍀 Week #9 2020 October 26th. - November 2nd. General Info: When planted: 2020 September 1st. Week: 9 Days: 56 - 63 Last Update Day: 2020 October 29th. Plants: 4 x OG Kush Auto 3 x Amnesia Auto 5 xAlaskan Purple Auto 2 x Blueberry Auto 1 x Northern Lights Auto Total: 15 girls. NOTICE: Check week 1 for full equipment list! UPDATE: I got 8 ltr. Or 2 gallon Spear&Jackson Pressure Sprayer to help me with watering. Comment: Hey guys! This whole week was tought, I think I fucked up with nutriens or schedule or both. Some of plants doesnt look happy, I can see some deficiency signs and in the other hand there are some excess signs too. I think Ill flush them and start over again this time triple checking everything. Also seems that OG & Amnesia with Blueberry will be ready in few weeks., so flushing process begins on them till the end. Stay tuned and happy growing! ✌️
