Weekly update: August 6th Looking great, major spurt of growth on both girls, #1 (sativa leaning girl) had major final stretch to end off stretch in 3 days (hopefully). And #2 (stockier indica leaning pheno) has had a big increase in flower size in 3 days which is promising, and is also producing a very sweet and tropical fruity gas smell, this is TCP after all! Oh yea and I’m running about 1700 center 500 outer ppfd and tapering down if I see anything but nothing so far all good nice genetics, may drop in the next week even if no signs or symptoms, to prevent and not be too greedy. Now for the not so good… been getting 10% runoff almost every feed, but my runoff of #1 was 3500ppm and pH 4.5 and #2 at 5000ppm and pH 4.5. Been giving around 850 ppm input at pH 6.0, never went over 1000ppm input. So I have to correct with 25% increase in feed volume, 300-400ppm input at pH 7.0 for what I infer to be 2-3 feeds until runoff ppm is significantly lower, and pH is at least 5.5. UPDATE Aug 8: To address the toxic/locked-out root-zone I did a regular feed with runoff (1.5 gal total volume per pot @ 820ppm bloom focus), runoff consisted of pH 4.2-4.5 and 4000-6000ppm... OUCH. I then fertigated with 0.5 gal plain pH 6.5-7 dechlorinated tap water each. I repeated this a total of 3 times, to which the last flush had 3 ml/gal cal-mag. final runoff ppm @ 1000-2000, pH 5.3-5.5. To conclude, I more than likely wasn't achieving enough runoff per scheduled feed, and did not cycle a few plain pH adjusted waterings. I had almost the same thing happen last run with autos, except they were showing signs of lockout, these photo girls are not. I must do a regular watering every 3 feeds, achieve 20% runoff with high ppm feeds, and 15% runoff at least with mild to moderate ppm's. Lesson learned, I hope I get a full run in the future without hiccups like this. UPDATE Aug 9: Big thanks to @00110001001001111O for suggesting i omit the light hanger and hang from the carabiner, I thought I was out of vertical space until this was pointed out. Check him out, he always has well informed answers to grow questions: https://growdiaries.com/grower/00110001001001111o

Looks like great 😌

3 of the ladies are in flush will be cutting them down within the next or 2 & the other 2 probably have another month left! Fingers crossed for harvest!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

Bueno me tomé mi tiempo para subir esto van dos semanas de flora las plantas se pueden observar estiraron bastante. Bueno solo queda esperar. Hice una pequeña exfoliación esta semana para darle entrada a la luz en la primer semana de flora regué con bioinsumos de @cogolit busquenlos. La segunda con agua. La próxima semana nos vamos a la expo cannabis y vamos a adquirir nuevas variedades de este banco y vamos a adquirir Barney fans también. Vamos a ir por variedades frutales y vamos a ir por variedades de pastel y crema.

La semaine 5 s'est plutôt bien déroulée, même si les autres plants ont connu un léger excès d'azote. Heureusement, mes plantes n'en ont pas souffert. J'ai pris la décision de les nourrir exclusivement avec des éléments favorables à la floraison. En parallèle, je commence à défolier délicatement une à deux feuilles par jour. Elles ont arrêté de s'étirer et elles commencent à se concentrer sur les bourgeons. Un grand merci à Louloutre qui m'apporte son précieux soutien !

wow look at dat!!!! dat plant grew some in dis week!!! now it is 18 inches tall dat is amazing after i cut off all da leaves!!! da plant was not very happy wit dat!!! i will not do dat much next time!!! i did learn from doing dat da husband was very very right!!! he has such vast knowledge i am so very very blessed!!! it is such an honor to serve dis great man!!!! da plant is being top watered 3 days a week!!!! it is also butt chugging da water everyday!!!!

Week 4 begin! Day24 girls are 30cm tall! Im feel a strong genetic! We will see after few weeks!

A few of the zed blacks hermed..spreading pollen into the flower tent. Already seeing some seeds develop. It is what it is. I should have done a better job checking on them. I kept the Zed blacks that only had a couple flowers on the bottom but tossed anything that had flowers growing up the majority of the plant. Some of the most famous strains in the world were self pollinated so I don't have issues with a couple male flowers. They're just trying to improve their fitness as nature intended. The plants are doing very well. A few of the bottom leaves are dying which is normal...senecense! Sucking up those nutrients. I've been liquid feeding using the fish, seaweed, humate and recharge. I have saved the males and they are trying to reveg. Still popping out a few flowers which I'm cutting off. 1 rainbow belt. 1 zed black. 3 hash plants The hash plants are smelling incredible. Definitely a few keepers mixed in here. Maybe 3/7. Hopefully the quality of the flower backs it up. Zed blacks have 2/3 I'm interested in. One is very very low yield. Unless its a really high quality plant I'm gonna toss it Rainbow belts are both smelling ridiculous. Super frosty. Good yield. One is slightly more frosted than the other. The zkittles pheno has pure Skittles smell with a little lemon cleaner chem to back it up. Probably my keeper!

"Mens Dei" What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day to scavenge ROS made from photosynthesis. The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank it. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " A leaf can perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis simultaneously. During daylight hours, plant cells utilize both processes: photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen, and cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for the cell's needs. The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used as reactants in cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) can be used in photosynthesis. The limiting factor is the oxidative capacity; the less a leaf is utilizing photosynthesis, the less oxidative capacity it uses, and the more it can perform cellular respiration. Even if a leaf is not in an optimal photosynthetic position, it can still utilize respiration to its full capacity during daylight hours. Kinda too much info to explain when some asks if they should defoliate or not, yeah add calmag or some shit. BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs*

Week 5 flower is progressing well. bud sites are getting bigger with more pistils and trichs on leaves everyday. This will not be a 8 week strain I'm thinking 10 but will calibrate if necessary to get the full potential of this genetic as I can see she is a special one already!

Day 1-12/12/21 I put the seed in glass of water for 24hours! Day 2-13/12/21 I placed seed on paper towel! Day 4-15/12/21 seed is in soil!!! Day 6-17/12/21 seed has popped out soil!!!!

Added a few 6ft bamboo poles for support. She’s going to be a thick girl ❤️ She already smells pretty loud! Can’t quite describe it yet other than mouth watering.

What’s uppp! 🖖 Weekly update… 🔥 Day 76 | Flower Day 41. The girls showed even more color and frost this week. 🤤🌼 The big girl looks like she could use a little more phosphorus. The middle girl didn’t feel like drinking much this week, so we skipped one watering for her. The smallest one seems to be doing just fine, no problems so far. 👌 Good luck and happy growing! ✌️🍀 ____________________________________________ Servus! 🖖 Den 76 | Den květu 41. Holky tento týden přidali další barvičku a cukr. 🤤🌼 Velká holka by asi chtěla více fosforu. Střední holka nechtěla tento týden moc pít, jednu zálivku jsme u ni vynechali. Nejmenší asi bez problému…. 👌 Ať se daří! ✌️🍀

Weeks 6 & 7 💚 Lack of photos were taken so I have decided to consolidate these two weeks together, The 8th - 15th as well the following week of 16th - 23rd of March

First time that she saw the rain - And second wind storm, disheveled but undamaged - I had to add few big sticks - A net or a cage would have been perfect, but too ugly :) My own haze, inbred since roughly 20 years is a poly-hybrid landraces cross : [(Colombian Gold 1972 x Mexican (Oaxaca)) x (Thai Lemon x Gambian)] (I replaced the Indian with an African - Original haze is Colombian x Mexican x Thaï x Indian), which I crossed over the years with a male Double Jamaican (Blue Mountain x Lambsbread), a male Nevil's Haze, and a PCK male (who add a deep purple bud color to a third to a fourth of the pheno)

Today is day 40 and she looks like she's starting her third week of flower which is crazy.. as you can see she's starting to produce trichomes already which is awesome... I haven't done anything to her and I think that's how I'm going to grow from now on I'm just going to let them grow naturally because it's the fastest for one and two it's easier lol ... We will see in the next few weeks what she turns into.. I'm really hoping that the outcome is great as I mentioned this is my first time going all organic so I'm not used to the size of the plant but it is early yet so time will tell.. thank you Sensible Seeds for these genetics and I highly recommend you guys checking them out.. hope everybody is doing well God bless and happy growing ✌️😎 P.S don't mind the little runt of a plant you see in the video that is neither Sensible Seeds genetics it is just a seed that turned out to be a runt that I'm letting grow out for the heck of it.. it in no way has anything to do with this company.. thanks for checking it out until next time ✌️ https://www.sensibleseeds.com/

12/18 start of a new week. Smelling super strong now Trichs still a lot of clear no amber yet. 12/19 watered in gallon with coconut and q

This week is packing on some nodes insane! Starting to get a little resin production going going to look like some fat nugs off this plant! Just been doing straight water with molases 2 tablespoons a gallon amping those sugars threw the roof for those oils in the plant! Burned it a lil bit pushing it to the max but seems to be fine packing it on. Has a crazy smell to it idk where to put it yet. Stay tuned stuff is gana get fat and frosty!!!
