Hey everyone! Another week has flown by for the Stickies, and as usual they haven't slowed down one bit. Flowering sites are multiplying nicely across all plants. Two of them haven't developed the thickest stems yet, but it's still early days and plenty of time to see how things evolve. On the feeding side, I raised the EC by another 0.1, as runoff EC was consistently coming in below input. Plants are handling it perfectly. The box has a clear boss this week. Despite topping, LST and even super cropping on some of the main stems to keep her in check, she's hit the 1 meter mark and shows no intention of stopping, making the canopy uneven. She's being watched very closely. VPD keeps dropping as the dense canopy pushes humidity beyond what the current dehumidifier can handle. If it stays consistently above 65%, I'll be adding a second unit for the final weeks of flower to ensure tight, dense and resinous buds at harvest. First pistils appeared over the last couple of days. Bud formation is officially underway and I'll be supporting it with Big Bud. I love this hobby. At this point it's a full-blown passion, bordering on obsession. Happy growing everyone! 🙌

11/17/18 Beginning of week 4 of flower. Day 21-22 of flower. So far I am pretty happy with my results. O think I identified one sativa leaning phenotype, one indica, and also that grows slower then the rest. Although not entirely sure if its the environment that created these differences. As they further develop I may get some clues to this regard. Black Magic soil seems to work great with no issues of burning or deficiencies whatsoever. Are far as smell its not very noticeable unless the plants are disturbed or pruned. Decided to discontinue the Aerated teas. Im sure the ladies have plenty or microbes in the soil. The rest of this grow they will only be feed 3-12-12 bloom fert untill its time to start the flush. Buds should really start to develop in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Also im already planning my next run which will be 10X different strains including this one. Another 5-6 weeks on this one. Shout out to ilovegrowingmarijuana.com for these beans. 11/24/18 End of week 4 and the buds are looking amazing. Nice and frosty already. Noticed slight yellowing on the tallest girl. I suspect my LED was a little too close. Increased distance.Other then that smooth sailing. The next 2 weeks they should really begin to develop and put on weight. Cant wait to see what these 4 beauties produce!

Hello, Well this week, i defo a bit both of plants. SS 2 - 3WEEKS AGO was very short and now its like reacting for The Sky its about 50 cm. And also is getting lots of space beteween buds and also lots of buds sites thst were not able to see it b4. So hope tô see yall next week. And honeztly. Its very dificcult tô keep a feeding schedule for 2 plants t When one is falling behind but besides sprouted At The same days básically, but how we say living and learning só i guess SS will bê harverst maybe 2or 3 weeks after RD, lol but yeal its só confusing

Hello. Sweet Seeds sent a privet message a few months ago and said if you want seeds to email and they sent seeds😃. The strains I got were Gorilla Girl 19 to 25% THC - Black Jack 16 to 21% THC and a Cup Winner and Sweet Zenzation. They sent 4 seeds of each. I think that's because we can legally grow 4 plants pre household in Canada. Sweet Zenzation Grape Ape x Zkittlez Indica Dom Height- Med Yield- High 9-10 Weeks THC - 16 to 23% CBD - .2 Effect - Narcotic, relaxing, Stimulating, Talkative Flavor - Candy, Fruity, Sweet It's both relaxing and stress reliving. Yet it also stimulates the imagination and conversation The flowers have a high terpene content. Exquisite aroma and sweet taste. Hints of fruit flavored candies, with hardwood undertones, Hints of lemons, cypress, aromatic peppers I've got new lights that I'm not used to. I hit my head 3 times on the sides of the lights. Man they leave a sore spot. These aren't lite lights. The grow tents are made from cheap material but will do the job. I hope to get a keeper. Chuck.

As you can see ,they are putting weight on and filling in nicely 👌, Temps are still high at night so they're not getting as much autumn colour as I'd like to see . I can't complain at all about the buds and size ,there is one that the bud size is much smaller on ,as you will see in the centre, front . Their giving of some nice tropical berry, earthy with some juicy fruit gum ,aromas , filling the room 😋 What do you'se think of this strain ? Have a greater weekend, all ya all ,on GD ✌️🍀 ps, does anyone think i should add more nitrogen in future ? Thanks Growmie's ✌️

✌️🏻

Looking good. Shes stretching like crazy! Showing some more little pistils on some bud sights. I watered her with nutes yesterday night and checked on her today and shes getting a little yellow i know its not light burn because i moved my light up higher the night before just in case. gonna wait and water her heavy with some regular water Other than that shes getting as hell

Very fast flowering period, 57days ready for harvesting!!!

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Remember, For every molecule of glucose produced during photosynthesis, a plant needs to split six molecules of water. This process provides the hydrogen needed for synthesizing glucose and other organic compounds, while oxygen is released as a byproduct. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (Lime/yellowing) Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. For those high-intensity workouts when 1 meal a day is just not enough! Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The plant was getting a little limey yellow in the centre. Shortly thereafter, she was back in business, green mostly regenerated. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Confidence is evidence... nothing more. You are confident because you have driven 10,000 times, you are confident because you have spoken 10,000 times. People think confidence is a feeling, but it's not. If you want more confidence, then you need to create evidence, take more shots, collect more data, build more experiences, take more risks; fail, confidence doesn't come first; it is the reward you get for doing the work. no one else wants to do.

Hello, my green journey companions! What a thrilling odyssey it has been, and here we are, standing on the cusp of the harvest. The time has come for the Last Report Before the Harvest for our beloved Jealousy in the Power Buds competition. Jealousy, in all her botanical magnificence, has gracefully faded out to black, and the emergence of those stunning black leaves is a sight to behold. It's like the grand finale of a cosmic ballet, where every leaf dons a cloak of darkness, contributing to the dramatic allure of our green empress. Now, let's talk trichomes—the celestial jewels of the cannabis world. As they shimmer like stars in the night sky, the majority have taken on a cloudy appearance, which is precisely where we want them. The cloudiness signals that the THC is at its peak, providing the perfect balance between potency and flavor. This is the sweet spot, where the magic of cannabinoids and terpenes converges to deliver an optimal sensory experience. The abundance of trichomes, akin to stars in the sky, is a testament to the genetic prowess and care that Jealousy has received. Each tiny crystal is like a botanical gem, contributing to the overall potency and character of the harvest. The trichomes are the storytellers of this journey, capturing the essence of the plant's journey from seed to bud. And now, let's talk about the olfactory symphony that fills the room. The mix of strawberry bubble gum and candy is nothing short of aromatic alchemy. I'm glad you have a good carbon filter; otherwise, my neighbors might start wondering if Willy Wonka decided to open a strawberry-themed factory next door! lol The joke aside, it's a testament to the incredible terpene profile Jealousy possesses, creating an olfactory experience that is both enchanting and mouthwatering. As Jealousy rests in the dark for 36 hours before harvest, it's like the calm before the storm—a botanical meditation where the plant consolidates its energy for the final act. The decision to harvest at day 63 is a culmination of careful observation, from the germination report to the present moment. Reflecting on this journey, it's been a rollercoaster of green emotions. From the excitement of germination to the strategic moves during the vegetative and flowering phases, every decision has shaped the destiny of our botanical queen. It's like watching a masterpiece unfold, stroke by stroke, leaf by leaf. And now, the traditional shout-outs. A grand salute to Zamnesia for providing the seeds that set this journey in motion, to Plagron for the nutrients that fueled the growth, to Grow Diaries for being the platform on which we share our horticultural tale, and to the incredible community for sharing in the collective knowledge that enriched our green adventure.

The end came surprisingly fast in the end - I had to move quick. I had to improvise a drying solution, since I only have a small grow room and not much space, since Fat Monkey Auto still takes some time to mature. A little grow chamber made of foam board, with a PC fan added for some air flow. Can't wait to trim her and let her cure before entering the next phase.

Germinated using a glass of water. After 12 hours into a bag with tissue paper. Then I hung the bag up so gravity could make the tap root grow straight down.

Week 9 marks the final stretch for Pink Truffle, and she's looking exceptional. Buds have continued to swell, stacking tightly along every branch while developing a thick blanket of resin that now coats both the flowers and sugar leaves. The contrast between the frosty trichomes and the dark purple tones is becoming one of this phenotype's standout traits. The plant has responded very well to training, creating an open canopy with uniform light distribution and excellent airflow. Calyxes are still expanding, but the flowers are already noticeably denser and heavier than last week. The terpene profile is becoming richer every day, combining sweet creamy notes with earthy undertones and a subtle fruity finish. Nutrient uptake has remained stable throughout the ripening phase, and the plant is naturally beginning its finishing fade without showing any significant deficiencies. At this point, the focus is on monitoring trichome maturity and allowing the genetics to reach their full potential before harvest. Seeds by World Breeders Cultivated by Piperoots 🇲🇦 🌱🔥

Explosive growth this week, specially R. Cheese #1 and N. Lights #1. But both #2’s are also growing strongly and looking great. Mixed a 15L solution at full strength, will be looking for any deficiencies in the next few days.

So this plant is officially becoming my first complete grow journal 🤣🤣🤣✅✅✅
