Wizard Fuel - Wizard Trees Day 55 - Watered with 2L of RO tap water with nutrients mixed individually and in order, then finally pH'd to 6.3. She has stretched really well, and has great internodal spacing with not too much foliage at her canopy! I've lollipopped her to remove all her lower most nodes and leaves, allowing her to focus on developing her canopy 👍🏻

Day 56 This plant is clearly in a much better state than the others. The leaves are standing more firmly with a strong, healthy green color across most of the canopy. There’s no significant drooping, and overall it shows good vigor. One of the standout differences is the structure: it has developed many more internodes compared to the stressed plants. The spacing is consistent, giving the plant a dense framework with plenty of future bud sites. This compact but vigorous growth suggests the roots are functioning well and nutrient uptake is steady. While there are still a few minor signs of stress here and there, the plant overall looks balanced and much more capable of handling the transition into flowering. The canopy is filling out nicely, and it already shows strong potential for multiple tops to develop evenly. Compared to the weaker plants, this one feels “on track” — healthy, structured, and ready to keep building momentum. The priority now is to maintain stable conditions, avoid overwatering, and let the plant continue its natural growth without unnecessary interference.

I honor the legacy of Alan Watts by sharing his wisdom respectfully and with the intention of inspiring awareness and self-understanding. 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.

Week started off well. Day 50 and no major hiccups. Lets get to that finish line soon! Day 51 - Everyone is healthy and great. CDLC is really putting on the weight now. All five of them are stellar. MB #1 stopped stretching and her nugs are starting to swell. She is one fast lady. The other Miracle Berry Remix looks like it will stretch some more and so does the Mango Smile. Strawberry and CDLC have a ways to go but they are blowing up. I am feeding everyone every day at least 2 liters of the above mixture. Depending on coloration (light green to dark green) I will change the nitrogen content. These things are eating phosphorous up like candy. I have experienced NO nutrition burn. All of my issues thus far have been underfeeding due to PH issues. I have a theory that I want to feed them as much as possible regardless of feed schedule and fear of nutrition burn. Ensuring a healthy root system with proper PH and monitoring Potassium in your watering should give the best results. I am finding that the only nutrient that cause the physical representation of nutrition burn (burned tips) is too much Potassium. I think I stated it before but Nitrogen toxicity doesn't burn tips and Phosphorous is really difficult to overdose your plant with. Pinpointing this is extremely important I feel. Are there any other growers who find this to be true? Day 53 - Everyone is great. Notable things from today...Mango Smile is sad cuz I gave her a hair cut and Strawberry Nuggets revealed a massive nitrogen deficiency after I gave her a hair cut. I switched to bloom nutrients too early on her. Upped her nitrogen PPM for today's feeding and hoping I didn't stunt her too badly. Lot's of node sites though. Day 54 - Mango Smile was just being a diva. Today her entire canopy was an inch higher...and she shows no signs of swelling yet. She's gonna end up going over 90 days for sure. My Maxigrow got moisture in it...so it went bad. I went out and bought some NPK Raw Grow for my Strawberry Nuggets. She is so hungry I feel bad. She is the only one I fed today. Everyone else was fine. Pistils on MB#1 are turning orange/brown. She might be ready at day 70. MB#2 will be right behind her. They are quite fast for being so big. CDLC is looking great. Didn't take a photo today but she is getting frosty and her flower stretch is on. Humidity is a little high in tent since I added additional pots with soil in them. I turned up my light to around 80% and the humidity tanked. Temperature went up to about 81F. I think we can manage that. I'm not seeing any signs of heat stress or fox tailing. My lights are powered by two HLG-600H drivers. Theoretically, I have 1200 Watts in the tent. Just to clarify since the journal won't let me specify my wattage for the QB96s. They can go up to 250 Watts each with active cooling. Day 55 - Moved everyone in the tent around to increase airflow. Trying to keep everyone off the walls but Miracle Berry Remix 1 is taking over the tent. Probably going to have to supercrop soon. Miracle Berry 1 smells deeply of berries. No gas or funk smell. Smells like a blue raspberry slurpee.

Now it's all over and I can sit back look at her, cry a tear of joy, and enjoy that my hard work has paid off. Although it is not over just yet. I still need to dry out the bud and get them in jars to cure.I will say one thing about my opinion on tastes and smell. Its just that, an opinion. I chose creamy just because I felt it describes the taste, although I cant say it tastes like a cream-sickle. It definitely has some citrus to the taste though, that I am sure of. The high I feel really brings me up. Took me too long to wake up this morning but this helped out. I'm feeling ready for the day, and all around quite good inside the chest and head.All in all it tastes and feels great. It will be a great WAKE and bake sativa, or a great party toke. I am going to give some away to some close friends and get their opinions on it as well. I do recommend this plant to other people. Try it out for yourselves. It was an easy plant to grow and train. My buds did not come out looking like a cannabis cup winner but they probably could in the right growers hands.
