================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present. The seeds were soaked in reverse osmosis water for 16 Hr. then transferred to a paper towel. DAY 2 October 2nd - 2018 - 2 out of the 3 seeds have germinated. the first 2 will be put into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt. Day 2 October 2nd - 2018 1:00 Pm. All 3 seeds planted into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt Day 3 October 3rd - 2018 - 9:00 Am. 2 ladies have popped out there little heads. Day 4 October 4th - 2018- 9:30 Am Seedlings are doing fine. All 3 seeds have germinated. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 ROW being installed. 2:30 Pm ROW installed. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Seedlings are getting first set of single serrated leaves. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 The tent is setup and running R.O.W. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Washed all Hydroton Clay Pellets in ROW. NO DETERGENTS. Rinse and Rinse again. Using R.O.W. so the medium has a practically no Ph. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 - Transferred the best 2 seedlings to tent under Veg. 1000 Watt L.E.D. Each bucket contains 19 liters of R.O.W. no nutrients added. This will continue for the next 2-3 weeks depending on growth. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 Seedlings put under Light Cycle of 6 On 2 Off Ect. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - Seedlings looking good. Seems everything is fine on 6 on 2 off light cycle. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - The 3rd seed germinated is looking very healthy. Transplanted it from the hydro seed starter to a 1 gallon planter with soil. Placed this in between the 2 main plants in the D.W.C. & used R.O.W.

Flowering day 9 since the time change to 12/12 h. Hi everything 😀. Another great week has passed and the cuttings have now all taken root and are developing beautifully 😍👌. The leaf colors are perfect 👍 and the growth is extremely strong as always on Aero 😍👍. You can tell that this week you stopped putting your energy into the roots and the energy is now growing :-). The growth is clearly stronger than on other media, and despite the immediate flowering, the growth continues on 12/12 gone 👍. Contrary to the assumption by some here in the forum, the Ph remains at 5.2 - 5.8 and there it will stay 😂👍. I can only recommend trying out Aero, you will be amazed at the end result 😃. Everything is going exactly as it should 👍, and I'm very curious to see how beautifully you will develop until next week. Until then, I wish you a lot of fun with the update, stay healthy and let it grow. 🍀 You can buy this Strain at : www.Zamnesia.com ☝️🏼☝️🏼☝️🏼☝️🏼☝️🏼☝️🏼 Strain Gelato clone from mother (Zamnesia ) ☝️ Genetics: Wedding Cake x Gelato x Gelato 33 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 Flower lamp : 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 ☝️ Grow Aero System : Growtool 0.8 ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Aqua Vega A + B , Canna Aqua Flores A + B , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

No lst for bbk. I like to wait just a little more if I am gonna do it. But anyway she is strong and healthy. And after yesterday she is the tallest of the gals XD

Root exelerator has been stoped with the other lady's being harvested these now have crazy leg room to grow ! The bears are hunting that gass and all the baby's are letting of a nice stank !

Coming soon

Una semana tranquila, una más . Una semana en la que empezó a mostrar como algunas hojas iban tomando otra tonalidad. Una semana en la que la nº6 , fondo derecha seguia mostrando signos de albinismo en las puntas de los apicales. Por lo que fuera esta planta decidió que para ella era demasiada exposición de luz. Algo con lo que tendré que saber convivir y salga lo que salga. xd. Solo me queda distanciar un poco más los led. actualmente las copas estarán a unos 40 ctms. áprox. de los led. y aumentaré hasta 45 ctms.,

Just giving occasional nutes and taking out a few leaves here and there. She's got good size and smell rn. Just waiting for her to flip into flower, shouldn't be too long. Happy growing 🌴

Next week I will start the flowerphase

Siamo alle battute finali finalmente, due settimane/20 giorni e dovrebbero essere pronte. Devo dire di essere soddisfatto, anche se speravo si gonfiassero ancora i fiori, magri nel tempo che rimane.. Ho sfiorato i 36 gradi, forse è anche dovuto a questo. Sicuramente non la farò più in pieno giorno in piena estate 🤣.. Rimane comunque il raccolto migliore nell'ultimo anno e mezzo, in attesa di pesare tutto.. Spero di arrivare al mezzo kg, sembrerebbe di sì..

Day 22- She stopped putting on height due to one night of a dramatic temperature drop. It's a cooler fall this year plus a freeze came through the night before. That night, I was up doing some studying when I noticed the reading on the remote display. N o telling how long it had been in the very low 60's. The problem was fixed simply by adding a heater to the room. Now, the temp is only in the 68 degree range for the final 2 1/2 hrs. before the lights are cut back on. Day 26- Her bud branches hav grown at least 2 -5 innches in length and have at least 2-4 bud sites already. Instead of Defoliation, I decided to actual two different types of LST. The first is simply bending to fan leaf branches under to expose the bud branches to more light. The main benefit is that you still keep the ability to absorb more of the light energy with them. I look at the fan leaves as your plant's " Personal Sun Panels". Since they store energy in the day and use that reserve to grow at night, why would you take something away for her that is meant to help her? Also, the second method I used is something I like to call" wind thickening". The technique is using wind resistance to train your plant's stem and branches to become more rigid by growing thicker to stablize itself. So, instead of a gentle breeze, I use a three speed box fan at varies distance. I started doing this on Day 22 and the results are definitely showing. The main stem went from 1/16 in. to a nice 3/8 in.

Week 6, Day44, Day14(end of week-2 bloom) and girls are thru with initial stretch. Watered 1-1/2gal/ea. PH6.4, 4ml/gal Cal/Mag. Day47 made worm tea; 3tbsp Molasses, 2cup Worm castings, 1/2cup Coffee chaff, 3bags Green Tea, 4ml/gal Cal/Mag, 10ml/gal Seaweed/Fish extract, 0.5ml/gal Orca. Aerated for 24hrs. Day48, Day18bloom watered 1-1/2gal/ea worm tea. Made foliage spray with 1/4 worm tea, 2tsp Epson salt. in spray bottle (will use this 2-3times a day to end). Day49 LST & defoliate.

Day 8: The true leaves seem to be more pale than before, but apparently that's normal. Day 10: Started doing timelapses, and added a small fan. Day 12: The plant seems to be growing faster and faster, I hope this behavior continues

In der 4. Woche gebe ich bei jedem gießgang 3mg/10L CalMag von bio biz hinzu mit einem ph von 6.2 .

Sundae Driver- (Fruity Pebbles x Grape Pie) - The start of flower stage. .

7/7/23 - Day 25 - Another water coming up tomorrow. She looks great. She is drinking so much water I have to add a ton of water every morning. 7/8/23 - Day 26 - The root is MASSIVE. This is a great sign that the plant has been doing well. The thing that gets me is how white the roots are. It's looking good for bud sites on the plant too. She has a ton of Cola areas forming now. I tried to count but lost track around 15+ cola areas, so when we move to Flower, I bet this gal gives me a ton of big buds. 7/9/23 - Day 27 - Every day, I wake up and get excited to see how much bigger she has gotten. The growth has been crazy, I've grown weed in the past, but it has never gone this well. I honestly spend 15 min a day on it. With this LEAF system, it's been super easy. The proof is in the pudding with this unit. Easiest weed I've ever grown. 7/10/23 - Day 28 - The growth is not slowing down. I refilled 1" of water to the pot today. This is the most water I have seen used in a day. Ideally, we would want to flip flowering when the plant has hit 12in. We are cutting it really close, actually, we are beyond what's rated for height. I'm going to Scrogg them some more and I would imagine Ill flip them to flowering very soon. 7/11/23 - Day 29 - Moving the tops around a bit, I'm trying to let it go as long as I can before flipping to flower.

Shes getting there. The colas are thicky and sticky. Harvest looks to be 10 to 14 days away, trichs are still clear. Feed is only calmag and ph'd water. Not showing any signs of the fall fade as of yet, and hope to see them soon. Hoping to get the purpling that Astroboy got on his sick ass grow Holla at ya boy, and shoutout to my growmies all over
