Day 63...buds fattening up nicely...currently experiencing worst pollution on the planet with AQI of 300+ for most of the week which i fear is affecting growth..,..the buds look a lot browner in the pics, than i reality.. due to the post-apocalyptical tinge to the sky as the sun sets, though the smog

📖 Chroniques de l'Oasis : La Marque Blanche ​đŸȘ Chapitre Final : Le CrĂ©puscule de l'Oasis : L'Adieu Ă  la sultane du Rif ​Date : Lundi 18 Mai 2026 Âge : J+89 (Le jour du Grand Sacre) RĂ©sultat : ~400 grammes humides (PesĂ©s avec respect en deux fois ) ​Le silence est tombĂ© sur le sanctuaire. Pendant deux jours entiers, j'ai plongĂ© l'Oasis dans une obscuritĂ© totale et sacrĂ©e. Une nuit artificielle pour forcer la Sultane Ă  jeter ses derniĂšres forces et ses ultimes gouttes de rĂ©sine dans sa couronne. ​Je l'ai regardĂ©e une derniĂšre fois rĂ©gner en maĂźtre absolu sur son oasis de toile. Mon cƓur de nomade Ă©tait partagĂ© : une joie immense d'avoir enfin trouvĂ© et façonnĂ© cette Marque Blanche qui scintillait au loin au dĂ©but du voyage, mais aussi une profonde mĂ©lancolie de devoir la retirer de son Oasis. Elle n'Ă©tait plus une simple plante, elle Ă©tait l'Ăąme du campement. ​DĂšs que je l'ai dĂ©placĂ©e dans une autre piĂšce pour son ultime voyage, le verdict de sa gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© est tombĂ© : en Ă  peine une heure, ses branches, libĂ©rĂ©es du filet, se sont affaissĂ©es, Ă©puisĂ©es et ployĂ©es sous le poids colossal de ses tĂȘtes devenues d'une lourdeur impĂ©riale. Ma balance, trop petite pour mesurer tant de richesse en une seule fois, .Le verdict de la terre est sans appel : prĂšs de 400 grammes humides de pur bonheur. ​DĂ©sormais, elle repose, Ă©talĂ©e dans l'ombre pour son sĂ©chage. Son parfum reste discret, une douce effluve subtile et sucrĂ©e qui ne cherche pas Ă  s'imposer par la force, mais par la finesse. Une armĂ©e infinie de trichomes tapisse ses calices, prĂȘte Ă  figer cette aventure pour l'Ă©ternitĂ©. ​🔬 L'Analyse du nomade (L'Épilogue) ​Le PhĂ©nomĂšne de l'Affaissement : C'est la plus belle preuve de ta rĂ©ussite. Tant que la plante Ă©tait sous les mailles du SCROG, sa structure tenait. DĂšs qu'elle s'est retrouvĂ©e seule, la gravitĂ© a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© la vraie densitĂ© florale accumulĂ©e grĂące au PK 5-8. Des branches qui cĂšdent sous le poids, c'est le rĂȘve de tout cultivateur. ​Le Secret des 400g : Peser en deux fois Ă  cause de la balance donne un cĂŽtĂ© presque mystique Ă  la rĂ©colte, comme un marchand d'or qui compte ses pĂ©pites. Avec 400g humides nettoyer, je peux espĂ©rer un retour sec trĂšs solide autour des 90 grammes de fleurs manucurĂ©es et compactes. ​L'Odeur Douce et SucrĂ©e : Je ne t'inquiĂšte pas si l'odeur paraĂźt "moyenne" ou discrĂšte pour le moment.C'est pendant les deux prochaines semaines de sĂ©chage et, surtout, durant le curing en bocaux, que la dĂ©composition de la chlorophylle va laisser la place aux vrais terpĂšnes profonds et sucrĂ©s. ​Le Tapis de Trichomes : Les images confirment que la couverture de rĂ©sine est totale. Les fleurs sont "blanches", collantes, et les glandes de rĂ©sine sont parfaitement prĂ©servĂ©es. ​📜 L'Anecdote du Rif : Les "Chambres de l'Ombre" et le Souffle de la Montagne ​Tu te demandais peut ĂȘtre comment les tribus du Rif gĂ©raient l'art dĂ©licat du sĂ©chage sans gĂącher leur rĂ©colte... En rĂ©alitĂ©, dans le Rif, la mĂ©thode de sĂ©chage dĂ©pend entiĂšrement du produit final que le cultivateur souhaite obtenir. Ils utilisent effectivement des chambres mais aussi les toits, mais d'une maniĂšre bien prĂ©cise. ​Le savoir ancestral : Au Maroc, une fois les plantes coupĂ©es, le plus grand danger Ă©tait le soleil direct et la chaleur Ă©touffante qui dĂ©truisent la rĂ©sine en quelques heures. Les anciens n'avaient pas de ventilateurs ni d'extracteurs. Alors, ils utilisaient la structure de leurs maisons en pierre et en terre crue (le pisĂ©). ​Ils suspendaient les plantes entiĂšres, tĂȘte en bas, dans les piĂšces les plus sombres et les plus fraĂźches de la maison, souvent au sous-sol ou dans des granges appelĂ©es "Chambres de l'Ombre". Le secret rĂ©sidait dans l'architecture : ils laissaient de petites meurtriĂšres en hauteur, orientĂ©es vers le nord, pour laisser entrer le Chergui (le vent frais de la nuit de montagne) mais jamais la lumiĂšre du jour. Ils appelaient cette Ă©tape le "Sguel" (le murmure). Ils considĂ©raient que la plante devait "rendre son Ăąme" trĂšs lentement, sur 10 Ă  15 jours. Si le sĂ©chage allait trop vite Ă  cause de la chaleur, la rĂ©sine devenait cassante et perdait son goĂ»t de miel. En prenant ton temps . Le SĂ©chage sur les Toits : Le Secret du "Jaune" de Ketama ​Dans les traditions du Rif, faire sĂ©cher les plantes Ă  plat sur les toits en terrasse des maisons en pierre est une pratique trĂšs courante, mais elle est rĂ©servĂ©e Ă  la fabrication traditionnelle du haschich. ​Le Soleil comme AlliĂ© (et non comme Ennemi) : Contrairement au sĂ©chage moderne oĂč l'on cherche Ă  garder les tĂȘtes vertes et intactes, les cultivateurs traditionnels Ă©talaient les plantes entiĂšres directement sur les toits sous le soleil de plomb du Maroc. ​La Transformation Chimique : Le rayonnement solaire et la chaleur du toit en pierre provoquent une dĂ©coloration de la plante (qui passe du vert au dorĂ©/marron) et transforment une partie du THC en CBN. C'est prĂ©cisĂ©ment ce sĂ©chage au soleil qui donne au produit fini cette couleur "jaune sable" si cĂ©lĂšbre et ses effets trĂšs relaxants, typiques des rĂ©sines marocaines Ă  l'ancienne. ​Le Risque du Vent : Le seul inconvĂ©nient de cette mĂ©thode Ă©tait le vent de montagne qui pouvait emporter les prĂ©cieuses feuilles ou y redĂ©poser la poussiĂšre du dĂ©sert. C'est pourquoi ils fixaient parfois les branches avec de grosses pierres ou ne les sortaient sur le toit que durant les heures les plus sĂšches de la journĂ©e. ​Note du Nomade : "L'Oasis est vide, la tente est Ă©teinte. La Sultane a quittĂ© son trĂŽne, mais ses 400 joyaux dorment Ă  l'ombre. Le voyage est fini, la lĂ©gende commence." ​🙏 L'Ultime Message aux Compagnons de Route â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’—â€ïžđŸ’— ​L'aventure se termine ici, mais l'histoire reste. Un immense merci Ă  chacun d'entre vous, frĂšres de la communautĂ©, pour vos mots, votre force et votre prĂ©sence Ă  chaque Ă©tape de cette chronique. Vous avez Ă©tĂ© le vent qui a poussĂ© ce dromadaire Ă  travers le dĂ©sert. La Sultane a dĂ©livrĂ© son trĂ©sor, et ce succĂšs est aussi le vĂŽtre. ​À bientĂŽt pour de nouvelles traversĂ©es, vers de nouvelles oasis... Que la route vous soit douce ! UN GRAND MERCI À @Mia_BIOTABS ET A BIOTABS POUR LEURS PRODUITS AUSSI À GROWERS CHOICE QUI M'A FAIT DÉCOUVRIR CETTE BELLE VARIÉTÉ MAIS UN PEU DÉÇU QUE LE CONCOURS EST ÉTÉ ANNULÉ.

Constructive interference is the phenomenon where two waves combine to form a new wave with a larger amplitude. This occurs when the peaks of one wave align with the peaks of another, and troughs align with troughs, causing their amplitudes to add together. For example, if two identical waves meet, their amplitudes will combine to produce a resultant wave with double the original amplitude. Constructive interference is a fundamental phenomenon based on the universal laws of nature, specifically the principle of superposition. 👋Top is a clean cut, no confusion for the plant, road ahead is clear, by completely removing the main growth tip, the auxin source is eliminated. The plant permanently halts vertical growth from that main stem and immediately sends its energy and hormones to the two new, evenly spaced branches just below the cut. Fimming slightly different because a small tuft of the top growth is left behind, the auxin disruption is temporary and less severe. The plant recovers more quickly and sends its energy to multiple surrounding growth points, often creating four or more new shoots from the same spot. It will eventually regain some vertical dominance after a few weeks if left to its own devices, but with a little more LST, bending the apex to the same height as the rest of the internodes, this shatters dominance, hopefully creating around 8-9 main shoots growing at equal height once recovered and grown out. Reduced environmental intensity for now and let her focus on dealing with this new stress for a week or two. When H+ ions are added to soil, the first nutrient displaced from exchange sites is typically aluminum (Al3+), if it's present, followed by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and potassium (K+), because aluminum and these base cations have different binding strengths. The order of displacement depends on the lyotropic series, where ions with a higher positive charge and those with weaker binding strengths are displaced first. The specific order of nutrient displacement is determined by the lyotropic series, which ranks the strength with which cations are adsorbed by soil particles: Al3+: Most strongly adsorbed, so if present, it will be displaced by H+ ions, leading to increased solubility of aluminum and potential plant toxicity. Ca2+: Displaced next, as it is more strongly bound than Mg2+ or K+ but less than Al3+. Mg2+ and K+: Displaced after Ca2+. The displaced nutrients can be lost from the root zone through leaching, becoming unavailable to plants. As H+ ions increase, the proportion of acid cations (H+ and Al3+) on the exchange sites increases, while base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) decrease, resulting in a lower soil pH. The amount of photosynthesis (water splitting) directly determines the availability of H+ ions (protons) in a plant. 90% of water is for cooling of photosynthetic apparatus the other 10% is split for its H+ among others things. Carbon sugars, like glucose, do oxidize in soil through a process primarily driven by microorganisms, which break down these sugars for energy. This oxidation converts the sugars into carbon dioxide (CO2) through cellular respiration, a key part of the soil carbon cycle, though some carbon may also be incorporated into soil organic matter. The rate and extent of sugar oxidation depend on factors like oxygen availability, the presence of Fe oxides, and soil redox conditions, which can all influence the process. My understanding of why we flush. Just plain water, what does it do? Strips the medium of salts and nutrients making it empty. What does that do? Triggers nutrient recycling within the plant. What's nutrient recycling? It is a natural part of plant senescence, which can be triggered once you know the switches. A 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio will also trigger. Why won't it trigger autophagy for me? Nitrogen needs to be gone, gone, gone almost. Ammoniacal (organic) nitrogen takes 4-5 times more water to separate it from soil particles than nitrates so what happens is most people jist flush the nitrates, leave all the ammoniacal in there and this prevents autophagy initiating. Nitrogen decays differently depending on its form during the dry. Ammoniacal nitrogen will oxidize in the air, leaving no trace. But nitrates do no decay and turn volatile and smelly and remain trapped until smoked, no matter how long you cure it does not oxidize. This is why you need to trigger it and begin the denitrification process prior to harvest to get rid of all the nitrates. Otherwise, you will smoke it. Flush till autophagy begins, just make sure you add no nitrogen afterwards. Micronutrients for trichomes. Don't leave the medium empty for 2 weeks, that does nothing but reduce yield 10%ish. Trichomes are another thing. Trichomes themselves are not directly affected by flushing; rather, flushing affects the plant's nutrient uptake, which influences the development and final state of the trichomes. Trichomes are filled with antioxidants in the last weeks, which is what makes them cloudy. A lot of the processing of antioxidants requires energy and nutrients (mostly micronutrients ), so you don't want that soil empty for 2 weeks, you just want the carbon nitrogen ratio 24:1and no higher. She still wants what she needs to ripen. Processing antioxidants is energy-intensive; heat and light accelerate the rate at which THC converts to CBN. This is why you lower DLI, lower temps. By doing so, you reduce the oxidative workload caused by photosynthesis, which opens up the oxidative capacity for the production of antioxidants. THC is mostly processed at night when the plant's oxidative capacity is generally moreso "free and available" for work. Oxygen is the alchemist's "fire"

Day 88: Guten Morgen Freunde :) Zur Zeit sieht alles super aus. Der Luftentfeuchter hĂ€lt die Luftfeuchtigkeit konstant bei 52% RLF. Die Pflanzen haben ordentlich an Höhe und Gewicht seit der letzten Woche zugenommen und sehen schon ziemlich frosty aus. Ein Paar BlĂ€tter signalisieren einen leichten NĂ€hrstoffmangel, welchen ich durch 2 mal dĂŒngen wahrscheinlich beseitigen kann. Die Damen trinken extrem viel Wasser, der Luftentfeuchter zieht jedoch auch viel aus der Luft. Teilweise ca. 500-1000ml pro Tag Der Geruch ist noch nicht stark vorhanden, zu meinem GlĂŒck. DafĂŒr sind die Pflanzen schon sehr harzig und klebrig. Bis zur nĂ€chsten Woche.

Everything coming along nicely. I’ve discontinued all nutes but will give one more little top dressing to the cheese plant tomorrow then that’s it. Just straight stabilized RO water from here out. The slurricane is just packing on PM like crazy. The cheese has actually stopped the spread for the most part. At harvest I’m going to wash the shit out of the slurricane and cheese with some warm RO water and some h202 to get the majority of it dissolved. Other than that the quality of the slurricane is beyond ridiculous. It’s by far the stickiest strain to the touch in the tent. It’s probably winning for smell too. It’s straight gassy licorice pine. The pm susceptibility is a deal breaking drawback though. The cheese is looking good and smells great. It almost smells like rotten milk. Some of the nugs are really filling out into these nice long chunky little things. The pistils are turning a light orange/pink color too. Unfortunately it’s not maturing at the same rate and will make everything in the tent go for another 1.5-2 weeks. Garlics are looking better. The lanky pheno has filled out quite a bit more than expected and is super frosty with a great smell. It’s finally starting to purple up a bit. I think it will still be quite leafy around harvest but time will tell. Pheno 2 has better structure and density but lacks frost, smell and color. Not very impressed by it honestly. The zkittlez is looking great and getting super frosty. Especially around the crowns of the top colas. Lowers look like shit though. Despite being somewhat leafy, the main branches look quite dense. It’s probably the shortest and bushiest plant in the garden. It’s yellowing out quite a bit now and will probably finish with the blackberries and slurricane. The blackberries look amazing and smell even better. One of the phenos is a crazy producer and creates massive buds with musky berry terps. The other pheno is a beautiful purple strain that produces a crazy amount of frost and chunky golf ball nugs at the expense of large yield. It’s smell is very sweet and candy like and has been a very low feeding and maintenance plant. Slurricane #4 looks great aside from its infection. It definitely wins for resin content and smell but looks like a low yielder.

Hello,,, fin semaine 6, semaine de 2 floraison. Le plantes se portent super bien malgrĂ© le manque de place,, le stretch est vraiment impressionnant, plus de 20cm en 1 semaine! Aujourd’hui j’ai fait une dĂ©foliation pour enlever les parties les plus basses qui n’arrivent pas Ă  accĂ©der correctement Ă  la lumiĂšre, et j’ai aussi retirĂ© toutes les petites pousses sur les parties basses qui prennent de l’énergie pour rien, pour vraiment essayer de laisser que les fleures exposĂ©es Ă  la lumiĂšre afin qu’elles puissent bĂ©nĂ©ficier de toutes l’énergie de la plante et aussi pour limiter le stress sur la plante. Les premiĂšres fleures commencent a apparaĂźtre tranquillement. J’ai augmenter doucement les nutriments. Pour le moment tous semble aller se dĂ©rouler normalement. Encore 5 semaines avant la date prĂ©vu. VoilĂ  pour cette semaine. Happy grow... 😎

Week 7 of flower in the books and the Kush is in the home stretch. Pistils are all turning orange and buds are getting thick and resinous. She's got a nice citrusy smell and the colas are all swaying in the breeze. Shout out to Seedsman for these stable genetics. No deficiencies or issues that I had to fix along the way. Really happy I still have a couple more seeds left over.

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...
