Day 63 Flowering: Hi all , well here we are, finally at the end of this amazing grow and only the trim and dry before the main event.....The results.. It has been a great grow from the start with these seeds , they have not missed a beat at all. The #4 has been innthe dark now for the past 6 days to try to really push the oils and survival instinct of the early finishing lady. She will be trimmed tonight as I don't want to push her too far and create a hermie now.. She is nice and sticky now and smells so sweet of fresh cut fruit. #1 has been ripening for the past week and even has a few new pistils showing up to add to the contrast of colours too her beautifully formed buds. They are so dense and solid to squeeze too. Her trichromes are beginning to show more amber among the cloudy and I don't want to leave her too long and ruin the intended high she naturally allows so it is time to take her out and into a dark period before trim to drying. As they are all grown organically , the need to flush ( bro-science anyway lol) and allow the harshness to go, is less worrisome. I have always dried intact in the past with no cuts to the plant until completely dried. This took care of the chlorophyll hit that often gets missed when drying wet trimmed and leaf gets trimmed into the bud. I also dry slowly to ensure the chlorophyll gets used up and not locked-in to the bud. Spending so long smelling this Mango aroma , it would be wrong to ruin in the harvesting now.. # 2 is my star of the grow so far on this auto perpetual run. She has been a monster from early days and performed perfectly . Her main stem is a total beast and I cannot wait to weigh that alone.. The colours and smell are so perfect too. I think this plant has shown just how capable the genetics are to create a huge plant with very little interference and a normal feeding regime that was simple too. astounding girl. She is a trichrome producing lady too and has some very nice frosting. The pics don't do them justice compared to standing in front of these beautiful plants . Well done Exotic seeds. I will update as the drying process goes and do a full harvest and report once we are there. be safe and well growmies. Grab yourselves some of these seeds from over at exotic and you won't be dissaointed no matter your growing experience...

As expected the signs of deficiency started to dissappear once the roots were formed D19: topped #1 D21: did some cleaning of the roots of #1 D22: topped #2 and switched the light to 20/4

July 18: a week of recovery after the hail damage 7 days ago. Will leave this at 8 colas rather than 16. This plant is fairly compact and I I don’t want to height limit her too much compared to the other plants. July 19: mostly overcast and added second layer of scrog net to help spread and stabilize. Fast growth after first night of force flowering.

Very good week. The new plants are 24 days old. That’s how they are supposed to look at that age! They will be much bigger plants than the others because all was dialed in for this new batch. With autos there can’t be anything off or they won’t really get to big (typically). The older plants 6-8 weeks old - will be excellent smoke still just not as big as they can get. Start of week 9. The smaller plants are 31 days old. All looking very very good. I upped the cal/mag The TD and LS will harvest in around 3weeks. I always run them close to 1-2 weeks past recommended. They really frost up and gain weight the last 2 weeks. Excited about the new plants. When they are dialed in I’ve gotten 3-7 Zips from each plant. Pretty amazing for soil grow. Hydro is faster in the beginning and sometimes the entire grow but soil when all on point can keep up with hydro (after a few weeks) and lots of time surpass hydro. Definitely in taste and terpenoids. Happy growing! Any comments appreciated. I love learning about this wonderful plant!

This is a few days in the dome

Still trucking along. I had my lights turned up a bit high, I've turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Die buds werden langsam dicker und soweit sieht alles gut aus. Sie verträgt extreme Düngung super. Geruch ist bis jetzt eher mild.

OG EVERGLADE-- Day 42 Overall status: EXCELLENT! Finished flower stretch, pom poms are increasing in size. Time to pack on weight. PINEAPPLE RUNTZ-- Day 35 Overall status: EXCELLENT! Still in flower stretch, stems might not hold well with heavy buds. Finally caught up almost to OG in vertical height. Root system is finally established to expectations. RUNTZ are soooo finicky, any acute environmental change, they will toco, claw, and droop making you think toxicities and deficiencies. THEY DONT NOT LIKE ACUTE CHANGES IN OSMOTIC PRESSURE. ph must stay consistent with water levels and food. Dropped ppm down to 350-375, seems like the sweet spot. Hard to determine which one is eating more bc of stress early on, age difference, and with 1 being IBL (pheno has week peripheral stems, tight internodal spacing then stretches crazy aka FINNICKY AF!) Nutes have been decreasing by 70-75ppm w/in 24hrs the last 6 days. Drinking 1-1.5 gal H2O in 24-30 hrs. Check stats today, ph stable, plants consuming at a HIGH METABOLIC RATE. I rather feed 3 times a week then 1 BIG 750ppm forcing the food. Switch to heavy bloom nutes since last week. Will feed 3rd time in a week tonight. My threshold is 200ppm. Consuming 175ppm in 48-60 hrs with 1.5 gals H20. SORRY FOR THE BOOK I WROTE!! HAPPY GROWS🔥🌲💨?😆

Thats what i mean, she will need some more time then my other. I think its will be a 12 weeks harvest. But she will be fat too

This week, the pre-flowering began, slowly began to give fertilizers for flowering, I water every other time, first with fertilizers then with clean water, 2 liters, every 2 days, as the top layer of the earth dries.PH hold 6.5-6.3, PPM 643 last watering, 2 ml per liter. The plant drinks a lot .The week passed without problems, ahead of the long-awaited flowering.

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. 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 GREEN CHLOROSIS) 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. 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 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. Come walk in the enchanted forest.

08/11 - comenzo su octava semana de floración. Le agregue el limpiador de raices para ayudar a limpiar mas rapido. Su olor es muy fuerte y dulce. Las hojas ya están amarillas. La semana que viene ya la podo. Estuvo casi dos semanas en lavado de raiz. Los cocos estan llenos de tricomas. En estos dias estare subiendo mas imagenes de como viene.

Still looking fair. I'm waiting for the fourth node before I top it the first time. Day 13 the fourth node was out yesterday so I topped it for the first time to begin mainlining. Transplanting into the final container (7 gallon fabric pot) to continue indoor growth until it's warm enough to send it outdoors

Wowwww ! Go girl!

Die Bilder sind früh am Morgen aufgenommen worden, deshalb das viele Gegenlicht. Bei dieser Hitze ist es besser die Outdoor Tätigkeiten morgens zu erledigen. Was für eine Woche; Temperaturrekorde wurden gebrochen, in meiner Region noch über 40° C. Es musste vielfach gewässert 💦werden, die Fruit Bomb Punch ließ auch ab und zu ihre Blätter hängen, jedoch gab es glücklicherweise keine Trockenschäden wie an der Blueberry die Woche zuvor. 18 cm Zuwachs trotz der Hitze und ein gleichmäßiges buschiges Wachstum ist recht passabel. Allerdings werden nun die Abstände zwischen den Pflanzen geringer, ich werde sie etwas auseinanderrücken müssen. Kein Fraß Kein Trockenschaden Kein Windbruch Keine Unterdüngung (evntl. etwas zuviel) Eigentlich langweilig... aber das Ziel ist eine gesunde Outdoor Pflanze mit gutem Ertrag. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch!

Week 4 is flower-week! All of our ladies showed signs of pre-flower last week, now there are already visible buds growing. We had to adjust the height of #1 & #2 once again because #3 is just growing crazy. Can't go any higher than the current position without redesigning our whole setup so this will be the final adjustment (hopefully!). #2 is obviously very different from the other ones, she's a little behind in growth. Though, she does have outstanding red colored petioles in comparison to her mostly just green sisters. We increased the amount of nutrients for them since they'll need much more now. This is plant #3/3. She grows way too high for our liking but that's what we expected from the beginning anyways. We continuosly had to adjust the light and the height of the other plants until we can't go higher right now. So wherever #3 wants to grow to now, she's probably getting sunburned from our lamp.
