¡Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We have officially entered Week 12 and the Critical is in its moment of maximum glory. The 40 cm structure is fully loaded with dense and sticky flowers. This week has focused on maintaining stability while the resin finishes covering every corner. 📏 Measurements & Training -Height: 40 cm. Vertical growth has completely stopped, with all energy now focused on the hardness and weight of the buds. -Canopy Management: The defoliation from previous weeks has been a total success. Light penetrates all the way to the base of the branches, and the lower buds are almost as compact as the tops. -Visual Check: Under white light, the plant looks like a scene out of a frozen movie. Trichomes are now mostly milky, and we are starting to see the first amber spots. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: We are maintaining 16°C at night and 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: I remain faithful to watering with lukewarm water. In this final phase, keeping the roots comfortable is vital so the plant doesn't shut down and continues maturing the terpenes. -Humidity (RH): Controlled at 40%. With the density the buds have now, I'm not taking any risks with mold or fungi. 💧 Watering & Organic Strategy -Nutrient Strategy: Final doses of Biobizz: Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 3ml, and Top-Max 1ml per liter. The plant is consuming its own nitrogen reserves, which is noticeable in the natural fading of the leaves. -Pest Control: The cinnamon has kept the substrate impeccable until the end. Zero insects throughout the entire flowering cycle. 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -Pure snow! ❄️ The aroma is now an explosive mix of sweet citrus and damp earth. The density is amazing to the touch; the buds are hard as rocks. A huge thank you to all the growers who are following this diary and for all your support and comments! It's a pleasure to share this journey with such a great community. Happy growing to everyone! 😉👍

Day 33 - Removed the First set of leaves. (Single finger leaves) Watered when dry (about 4-5 days between watering now, due to the topping/cloning). Will either need to be watered with nutrients soon, or root pruned + fresh soil.

2/26 to 3/03 Veg Days 8 to 14 Week 2 Not much to talk about here. They took to the soil as expected with no issues. Feed this week was 2 cups of 6.3ph RO water twice with 4 days between and 4 days after the last feed. Feed plan next week will increase the amounts to 2.5 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I still want to see the water run through, so if I need to use more than 2.5 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefuly spreading the roots out while doing it.

Expected more of a vertical stretch this past week but maybe that’s what’s going to happen next; smell is weak but it’s just the beginning; stay tuned

Come ogni mia corsa mi rendo conto che ho fatto diversi errori dovevo potare un po' di più ,il training che ho fatto. non e stato sufficiente ............. Devo dire che entrambi le genetiche si sono rivelate entrambi ottime facili e produttive......................,..................... Aggiornamento .................................... Dopo 14 giorni di asciugatura ho ritrovato il gusto della gelato 41 e semplicemente unico ancora io non distinguo le varie sfumature di gusto ma una cosa posso affermare e davvero Ottima ...

Nouvelle semaine en intérieur, j’ai du éliminer une grande gotti et la graine inconnue, c’etais malheureusement des mâles. Je pense que je devrais bientot en éliminer une troisième, la deuxième grande gotti, elle ne sait toujours pas déclarer mais à première vu on dirais un mal, mais faut encore attendre pour en avoir le cœurs net. Rien a dire de plus, elle commence chacune à bien developper leur pistil. Frosty est petite mais bien charnue, je ne crois pas qu’elle va donner beaucoup mais elle va donner un bon truc je le sens bien 🙏🏻 Aladdin kush #1 se porte bien, et ce malgré son tronc fendu en deux. Elle se développe très bien, et prends une belle hauteur, je sens qu’elle va me donner de belle chose! Aladdin kush #2 tous comme sa sœur mais sans le tronc fendu bien sûrs.

First week of flowering and I can see them all growing tall gaining a few cm/per day. First set of pistils are visible on all 4 ladies. I started adding Terra Bloom 2ml/L every other day.

11/24 and week nine Will be feeding Monday as well as a foliar of weak cal-mag Defoliating as well Tuesday Maggie's bud are beginning to cone as Layla and so that is hopeful. 11/27 Do not see much bud building on Brandy. Not a deficiency issue that I can see just the effect of the stunting. Considering harvesting Brandy cutting my losses and freeing light space for the others which we hope will pay off. Get some sleep see how it looks in the morning. 11/27 PM Brandy and the Runtz will be harvested this week as they are just ready to go and I want some of both :) Recharge and bio-bloom for Layla and Maggie just some water and a bit of recharge for Brandy. Just to see what happens PH 6.5 New pics and vid 11/29 new pics Going to let Brandy continue to ripen the Recharge seems to have triggered new hair growth 11/30 Changed the bulb on the Lights to a different maker (vivosun) and man what a difference. That old light was costing us! From now on that bulb is changed every six months.

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 More energy, more blueprint. 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

Still only giving them water at ph6. 5 The soil I started them in is a full strength soil. House and garden bat special 🦇💪👍 Some people say I shouldn't plant seeds direct into full strength soil, I've been doing it for 20 years and never had any issues . Each to there own I say 👍

The plant will be harvested in the next 48hrs. I checked the thricoms with a microscope, and they are all cloudy with 30% amber. Its been flushing for a week now. I am going to let her mature a bit more and start the drying process in the next two days. The colour of these buds are amazing and the smell is so nice and fruity. I am not going to have a big harvest from this plant, due that it was an outdoor grow for almost 80% of her life, but i am going to have good quality for sure.

Grandaddy Purple is doing great, the shape is perfect, bud size and stretch is perfect so she will make some big flowers. The defoliation really works great every time. Feeding is the same as the others, Bio Flowering Booster, a bit of Bio Grow and SuperVit from RQS.
