Unfortunately, this run with the more advanced Appalachian Kush came to an earlier end than planned. The bud rot continued to spread, so I decided that it was time to harvest her rather than risk losing even more of the plant. It's definitely not the harvest I was hoping for, as I would have liked to give the flowers more time to develop. I actually found this plant quite promising throughout the grow. The overall vigour, the fast development of the flowers and the terpene profile she was starting to develop all made me very curious about her final potential. Unfortunately, we won't get to see that with this plant. As planned, I harvested the flowers together with the sugar leaves and immediately froze the fresh material for processing at a later point. One Appalachian Kush plant is still standing, though, and interestingly, she is showing quite different characteristics and a different flower structure. So even though this particular plant had to be harvested early, the Appalachian Kush story isn't over yet. ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒฑ Let's see what the remaining plant has in store for us. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š **Update** Our next Appalachian Kush had to be harvested as well, as bud rot started spreading. Part of the harvest is now drying in the tent, while the rest went straight into the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ

Start of week 8. Looks good. No big issues to report so that's good. Dropping feed to 350ppm. Using dry koolbloom for ripening and I plan to start flushing mid week. The gelato is having a hard time standing up. I've tied up branches everywhere. I took clones from plants that were in 3 weeks of flower for those 2 plants. (Monstercropping). It does work where there are way more stems and budsites. The downside is most stems are weak and cannot support alot of weight. It was a good experiment though. Thanks to the community for all the likes and support. Looking to harvest most plants in the next 2 weeks. Tricomes are filling up and beginning to turn cloudy on at least half the plants. Good day all, and happy growing!!!

Hi guys.. Here we are again with our two beloved Peyote Critical ... I will not dwell much today ... it is just now missing to reach an optimal flowering ... I believe that at most, in ten days, they are ready ... If one if you wish you could easily cut it now ... all milk-colored trichomes . Usually I always prefer to start the second phase (drying and treatment) when there they are 15% of amber trichomes ... The timing of the harvest sometimes varies based on various factors and / or above all on personal pleasures ...you know.. The plants are really beautiful and super resinous ... The perfume it is much more on the Kush side, quite even sweet with other "notes" that I do not recognize but tending to the "honey" side ..... Of the critical it has more than anything the structure and also the shape of the peaks .... however it is ... at the end of the week last time I gave them once again a bit of banana macerate, more or less always a 0.5 in a 1.5l bottle of water ... a few days later a little bit of Topmax .. now just water, like I practically did it throughout the cycle, since the nutrients were already present in the soil ... we hope for good ... let me know if you liked it ... Criticism, advice and comments are welcome๐Ÿ˜‰ ... Thanks to have read ๐Ÿ™.. Good cultivation ... See you in seven days .... Bye โœŒ๏ธ

3/18 Week 12 Day 33/Flower Have a Norto virus in the house so being brief All looks good no changes at this time waiting on buds to say when Tricones 80% Milky 20% clear with no amber so at least a week to go before flush 3/19 Pics Lot happened overnight, looking like end of week for flush. Will continue PK for one more day as time for the last push here now as upped nuets about 200ppm. PK ends Friday, nuets will drop back 200ppm at the same time. Flush begins 3/24 Tuesday... 08:05 PDT ... ๐Ÿ˜ 3/21 Day 36/Flower Ended PK dropped CT to below 900ppm On track for flush mid-week which will be real close to Fast Buds estimate of 45 days. 3/22 D 37/F Pics Just waiting for the ripening and flush day next week. Trics pretty much all white now, still no amber but that will come during flush. Will be dropping nuets to half Monday on last feeding. 3/23 D38/F Last feeding at half strength but tossed in a dose of Recharge just to see if it matters. doubt it would but it needed using as it hitting its effective date. Flush begins tomorrow morning 3/24 D39/F Flushed each using 10 gallons PHed tap water and 5ml/gal flushing agent. Pics and vid 3/25 D40/F Runoff @235ppm about 80 ppm over the water ppm so looks like the pot is empty and we can cease the FloraKleen those roots are stripped and I am no rush on this flush.

It is officially the waiting game. The impatient weeks where the Ladies appear to be ready but have a week or two to go. My first SCRoG appears successful but the lower buds definitely need more time.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time. Little main line defoliation to focus growth. A cell is a quantum measuring device for lightโ€™s frequency to make order from the chaos that light frequencies bring from our environment. A cell performs mechanical resonance, where its intrinsic structures vibrate at specific resonant frequencies when exposed to external mechanical stimulation. Cells possess the ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from their environment, a process known as mechanosensing. This can involve the activation of signaling pathways and changes in gene expression. Cellular resonance is a component of mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical force into a biochemical signal that triggers a cellular response. Plants perceive mechanosensory stimuli, such as vibration and touch, through structures like trichomes (hairs) and specialized ion channels embedded in their cell membranes. Plants are sensitive to frequencies ranging from ultrasound to lower sound waves, such as 250 Hz. The perception depends on various factors, including the stiffness of the underlying tissue, which can be tuned by the plant to perceive specific frequencies associated with environmental cues like insect herbivory. While the exact molecular mechanisms are still being explored, scientists have identified several potential pathways that may be affected by acoustic vibrations in this frequency range: 4000-5000 Hz. Enzyme activity: Sound waves can increase the activity of certain enzymes, such as amylase, and elevate the content of soluble sugars and proteins. Increased stomatal opening in response to specific frequencies can optimize photosynthesis by increasing the plant's absorption of water and CO2. In addition to enhancing drought tolerance, sound vibrations can strengthen plants' overall resistance to stress. Studies have shown that some genes related to stress response can be activated by sound stimulation. The Emerson effect is a phenomenon where the combination of red and far-red light increases the rate of photosynthesis beyond the sum of the two wavelengths used separately. This synergy is important for understanding Extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR), which includes the far-red spectrum, because it means a more comprehensive measurement is needed to fully understand light's effect on plant growth. ePAR meters measure light up to 750 nm, which is necessary to capture the far-red light that participates in the Emerson effect. The human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color due to a combination of our cone cell sensitivity and evolutionary history. Our eyes are most sensitive to the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is the peak of our visual sensitivity, and a large part of our ancestry was spent needing to distinguish subtle variations in greenery for survival. or our primate ancestors, being able to discern subtle differences in green was crucial for survival. It helped them identify edible plants and avoid poisonous ones, as well as detect predators hiding in foliage. This constant need to distinguish shades of green drove the evolution of our color perception to become most sensitive to it. S-cones: Detect short wavelengths, perceived as blues and violets. M-cones: Detect medium wavelengths, perceived as greens. L-cones: Detect long wavelengths, perceived as reds and yellows. The primary reason for our enhanced sensitivity to green is that the peak sensitivities of the M-cones and L-cones are very close together in the green-yellow region of the visible spectrum. This overlap means that green light stimulates both the M-cones and L-cones, creating a more robust and detailed signal for the brain to interpret. In contrast, the S-cones are more isolated and respond to a much narrower band of light, leading to less sensitivity for blues. The brain's visual processing pathways also play a role. Our visual system processes color differences through "opponent channels," which compare the signals from different types of cones. The opponent channel that processes red versus green has a more precise and intricate system than the blue versus yellow channel, leading to finer discrimination in the green part of the spectrum.

Week 5 has come so fast. At this point, I don't know which is more exciting; having a decent size harvest or passing off genetics I dont like to my friends and starting new strains from my little seed bank. - I also discontinued the pure blend tea this week as nearly every ingredient is identical to the pure blend pro, with the exception of worm castings that is only in the tea. I've noticed that the pure blend pro series base nutrients are pretty strong as well and can easily burn your plants if you're not careful. - I love that my setup doesn't require much oversight and only need to water every other day or so. I'm not going to add any boosters, hardeners, sweeteners, or any other additives to my nutrient mix. If it ain't the tasties without all that nonsense, I ain't even gonna mess with it. I'm not growing for profit. I don't care if you think my shit's dank or not. My only goal is to have an unlimited supply of weed that I love. I don't want that brown dry vacuum sealed outdoor bud nor do I want to pay 60+ FKN dollars for an 8th! ๐Ÿ˜‚ All I want is a few extra large mason jars filled with what I would consider my own cannabis cup winning strains without all the hassle of having to deal with anyone. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ - It has begun to heat up already here in sunny California, thanks climate change. Starting with the next watering, I will begin to reduce the nutrients by ~50% and each subsequent watering there after. There's only a few weeks left and It's time to gradually flush these girls out. Also a note for the next flower phase to lower strength of the Pure Blend Bloom as I noticed a small amount to nutrient burn on the tips of the sativas. The indicas don't seem to mind but a slight reduction in nutrients wouldn't hurt either.
