Dec. 4 - Week 9 begins. Dec. 6 - I removed some dead and dying leaves. Dec. 7 - Photo update. Dec. 10 - Timelapse uploaded. This poor girl, the sometimes infrequent waterings may yet be her demise. In the video after the plant droops the leaves come back much more yellow since they're being sacrificed for the greater good. I've been aware that plants do this for many years, but I think it's still pretty neat to watch happen over just a few seconds.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Nach der zweiten Blütewoche zeigen sich nun Flächendeckend Stigmen und die Trichombildung setzt bereits ein. Sie hat einen weiteren Stretch von knappen 8 CM hingelegt. Der Wuchs und die Blütenbildung ist sehr kräftig Außerdem habe ich nun nochmal die Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten und die unteren Triebe auf etwas 1/3 der oberen Höhe zurück geschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält, das werde ich jetzt bis zur dritten Blütewoche so weiter betreiben. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne Wuchsform und eine schöne Blütenstruktur😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,97 kPa 😎PPFD: 760 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

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.

Being not expert with autos I can't complain about 190g in 3 months. I'm smoking and trying a bit , it's still a bit fresh so the taste is still developing and I will update this comment when weed it's cured. The high for the moment is light but nice, it's take your mind and not your body, very relaxing and smooth 👽👽

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 5 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A (Folder 13A) Welcome back everyone to another week inside Project Blue Tent! If this is your first visit, welcome aboard. This project is dedicated to exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than growing multiple plants as one crop, every phenotype is documented individually, allowing each one to tell its own story despite sharing the exact same environment, nutrients, lighting and care. Unlike our 8×8 Adventure, where different cultivars grow together, Project Blue Tent focuses on understanding every subtle difference between identical F1 genetics. Every week we watch these plants develop, compare their structures, and discover how each expresses its own unique personality. As we like to say... We are not just growing seeds—we are discovering individual personalities. This week has been one of the most exciting since the project began. Plant A has responded beautifully to last week's topping, the feeding adjustments have brought back the deep green colour we were looking for, the SCROG net has officially been installed, and one important upgrade has made the entire irrigation system safer and more reliable. Sometimes the biggest progress isn't measured by the plants alone. Sometimes it's the grow room that evolves alongside them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Five – Everything Comes Together Looking back over the past few weeks, it's incredible to see how quickly everything has started coming together. After establishing a healthy root system and recovering perfectly from topping, Plant A has exploded with vigorous vegetative growth. The canopy has become noticeably fuller, side branches have accelerated dramatically, and every growing tip seems eager to compete for its place beneath the light. One of the biggest improvements this week has been her colour. The slightly lighter green we observed over the previous weeks has completely disappeared after increasing the nutrient strength. The foliage has returned to a rich, healthy green, confirming that the plants were simply asking for a little more food. It's always satisfying when the plants respond exactly as you hoped. Sometimes they don't need rescuing. Sometimes they just need to be heard. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Blue Tent Environment The environment continues to be one of the strongest aspects of this project. Even with warmer summer conditions outside, the Zamnesia ecosystem has continued providing a remarkably stable environment, allowing the plants to focus entirely on growing instead of constantly adapting to fluctuations. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 The Phytonaut LED continues producing an even spread of light across the canopy, while the Grow Environment Controller quietly keeps everything stable in the background. When the environment remains consistent, every adjustment we make becomes easier to evaluate. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Update This week's feeding program remained wonderfully simple. One of the things I'm genuinely enjoying about growing with the Plagron Hydro line is just how uncomplicated everything is. There are no complicated recipes or endless bottles to keep track of. The plants are currently receiving: • Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L Along with very small pH adjustments whenever necessary. That's it. Coming from many years of growing organically in living soil, I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable the nutrient solution remains throughout the week. Once everything is mixed and adjusted, it simply stays where it should. Even better, the increased feeding strength has delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The richer green colour has returned across all four plants, new growth is vigorous, and the entire tent looks happier because of it. Sometimes simple really is better. ──────────────────────── 💧 Learning From Experience – Installing the Drainage System One of the biggest upgrades this week wasn't made to the plants themselves. It was made to the room. Back in Week Three we experienced a small flood caused by the drip irrigation system. It wasn't anything catastrophic—we cleaned everything up with towels and carried on—but it reminded me of something I've always believed. Automation is wonderful. As long as it's supported by good safety systems. Rather than hoping it would never happen again, I decided to improve the entire setup. This week I installed the Mars Hydro Auto Drainage System alongside the existing drip irrigation system. The concept is beautifully simple. The drip system feeds each plant from the main reservoir. Any runoff is collected inside specially designed trays beneath each grow bag. That runoff then flows into a small collection reservoir, where a compact pump automatically sends the water back into the main reservoir. The result is a much cleaner, safer and more efficient system that dramatically reduces the chance of standing runoff accumulating inside the tent. It creates something very close to a closed-loop irrigation system while keeping maintenance incredibly straightforward. Good automation isn't about removing the grower. It's about removing unnecessary problems so we can spend more time observing the plants instead of cleaning the floor. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ SCROG Time Another huge milestone this week was finally installing the SCROG net. Last week's topping created multiple new leaders, and this week those branches were growing so vigorously that it became the perfect moment to begin shaping the canopy. The goal of a Screen of Green isn't simply to hold branches in place. It's about guiding every branch horizontally, creating an even canopy where every future flowering site receives equal access to light. Rather than allowing one dominant stem to race ahead, the screen encourages every branch to become a potential top. Plant A has responded beautifully. Her branches remain flexible, healthy and easy to work with, making the first stage of weaving both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. The framework is now beginning to take shape. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A Herself Every week this phenotype reveals a little more of her personality. She isn't the largest plant inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to be. Instead, she's developing into one of the most balanced plants in the room. Her branching is wonderfully symmetrical, the internodal spacing remains tight, and every new shoot seems perfectly positioned to become another future flowering site. The topping has encouraged vigorous lateral growth, while the improved feeding has given her that rich green colour that instantly catches my attention every time I open the tent. Looking beneath the canopy, her structure is clean, open and well organised, which should provide excellent airflow as flowering approaches. She's becoming exactly the kind of plant I enjoy growing. Calm. Balanced. Healthy. And quietly preparing for what's coming next. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead Next week will be all about continuing to guide the branches through the SCROG while allowing the canopy to spread naturally across the screen. Most of the hard work has already been done. Now it's simply a matter of patience, gentle training and allowing the plants to keep doing what they do best. If they continue responding the way they have over the past week, I expect the Blue Tent to become a sea of perfectly level tops before long. Sometimes the biggest improvements don't happen because we force them. They happen because we create the right conditions and allow nature to do the rest. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes out to Zamnesia for making this entire project possible—from these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags and the Hydro nutrient line that is feeding these ladies every single day. A special thank you as well to Mars Hydro for designing the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that has become such a valuable addition to this grow. Although this isn't a sponsored product, it's one of those pieces of equipment that simply works. After our little flooding adventure a couple of weeks ago, this system has brought an extra level of safety, cleanliness and peace of mind to the grow room, allowing me to spend more time enjoying the plants and less time worrying about runoff management. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from all around the world a place to document, learn and share our journeys together. And finally… Thank you to every single person reading these updates. Whether you’ve been following since day one, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week, simply stop by to look at the photos, or even quietly disagree with my methods—you all contribute to making this community what it is. I genuinely appreciate every view, every conversation, every piece of advice, every question, every like, every criticism, and every bit of support. I hope you’re all having an amazing week, and I can’t wait to show you how these beautiful ladies evolve in the next update. Until then… Growers Love, happy growing, and I’ll see you all next week. 🌱💙

Hi, Topman! Now, I think, was added very more nutrients ~1500ppm, and this movie does this situation. Also added simple of sugar for Great White! We does add solution 35%…and watch form plats everyday. It's strain doesn’t like +1200ppm… Think it.

Plants doing really well. This one isnt drinking as aggressively as the other 1 gallon plants. She's getting the same amount of water but is becoming more water logged than her counterparts previously. She's turning dark dark in the leaves. Almost black.

We are now in flower about the first week now. Dried Fruit is the smallest out of 3 plants. But she will have power...

Aun no e terminado con ellas pero para ser mi primer scrog lo veo bien o que me decís vosotros?

🍀🍀🍀🚀

Added a video of transplanting with 2 solo cup method! This week transplanted the girls into 2 gallon pots. I usually go straight from these to there final home. Sometimes do 2 more transplants if growing fast and bigger then expected

2025/02/12: third flowering week is last Orgatrex/Bactrex shot week... I decided to lighten it as I can see lock or deficiencies again. I may flush another time : maybe rain water isn't as good as I thought? Anyway, trichromes are here!

Very intense high, hits very fast and long. Im not stoned but still sleep like a rock after a few hits

Day 1-14 (March 24th) (Day 14) I sprouted 5 Puro Loco and 1 Slurricane F1 (Archive) seeds in a mini aerogarden hydroponic system on March 10th and they they were getting way too hot in the small space I had it in. It was also given flowering nutes from seed. They started curling and cupping like crazy so I decided to transplant them into soil in solo cups and 1 gallon pots. They’re in my veg tent currently and I’m pretty optimistic that they will all recover nicely. I plan to veg them out for 3-4 more weeks, transplant into 1.7g or 3g pots for their final containers and then flip into flower at the same time as my flower tent. I’m using a dimmable 600w hps in a 4x4 tent with living soil/coco blend and nature’s pride dry amendments plus a few other rock dusts, foliars, teas, microbes ect. I’m keeping the humidity around 80% with my humidifier in my sealed tent. I won’t be topping, scrogging, supercropping ect. Just a little lst here and there. Recent events have caused me to move the plants in my veg tent plants into the flower tent and veg them out there. So that leaves me with an unoccupied veg tent where I can veg these girls out and flip them at the same time as my flower tents. I also have to move my tents by mid June so that worked out well I guess. Just have to buy a carbon filter before the flip. I also found and sprouted a bag seed of some Guava Cake a few days ago that was very nice. If it’s not a vigorous grower, I will scrap it because I’m not trying to risk the herm. Since I have to pack as many female plants as possible in this tent before the flip, I’m going to throw in 5 stunted black garlic seedlings. These ones are from a 12/12 from seed grow box I couldn’t keep lightproof. One of them just identified as male so I will pull his ass. He was the only one showing so hopefully any more males will be visible before the flip. I forgot to add, these were started on March 1st. So let’s just say all these plants are one month old but this will be the first recorded week.

I have been away for a week, had setup a drip system that watered every other day. Noticed a strong yellowing, lost a bit track of the feeding since i was away for 8 days, and have used a mile concentration of nutes, no recharge. I decided to live it be as is and start flushing, in two days, today will be the last feeding, and will be done with overdrive an the base. On top of that I have ordered a floraflex round matrix, a bubbler from them.

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin
