Week 8 started 5/22/2022 Ending week 7 strong. Last day was 5/21 -- I added some organic dry food *** from the local, PH'd water to 6.2 with some added Cal Mag Pro. Just going on instinct here, added some epsom salt on top and will water that in later. Water in the tray feeder thing (Auto Pot XL in manual mode) is 6.3 ish. Centered into the lights and measured with the LUX meter. As she starts vegging into the lights its gets stronger and stronger, from about 600 to about 1200+ (just a little less than full sun outside in my locale-- I measured). I am not sure exactly what this measurement means, I only use the sun as a reference. I have both lights on full blast. Still deciding if I can handle the heat of adding the 150W HPS, its HOT HOT HOT, but it makes the flowers huge. I am stopping the LST into week 8, nothing but clean water for a while into the veg, don't want to over feed. I am just doing regular maintenance, watching the grow, and I keep using Crop Control as a preventative measure, I don't care if I am wasting it-- not to be weird but it just smells like it will work LOL. Still tweaking air flow. Height at 9" is the table, there are some tips that are at 12".(I re-measured and changed this to more accurate #s) She has to grow to at least two feet up. I need to measure everything and may have to reposition my filter to accommodate the height. We'll see. I am cleaning up the grow area now, nothing left to do except clean and water. Auto Pot guys said my stuff is missing little rubber grommets from the factory, maybe I can fix the damn things and they will have auto water and we will see if that affects grow speed into flower. I am scared I am going to outgrow my tent this time. I wish I had an A/C Infinity 4x4, those look sick. Next day follow up: Measured: I have just enough room to pull this off. I will re-position filters and lights before switch to flower. I will have two charcoal filters and one A/C Infinity fan, with just the single Auto Pot XL, and it will be functioning since I found the parts to fix. I may get some custom aqua-ponics - bubble-ponics thing going in the tray I placed it in, I think with more oxygenated water and a higher level, more cooling and I may actually get more growth/flower -- we'll see, I am always scheming and I have parts! Still thinking it through as pre-flower time approaches soon. week 8 day 3 - minor surgery, f'd up a cola branch by super-cropping the shit out of it. Fixed, but lost time on that cola, added side light on that side to help fill in, just when I should be getting ready for pre-flower! oh well, that is part of the mainline manifold game. Gotta have grafting tape on hand and assess before it gets to be an unsolvable issue. check your plants and pay attention to what they say to you. ***Dry fert. stats: EB Stone vegetable fertilizer blended with humic acid and beneficial soil microbes including mycorrhizae. NPK: 4-5-3 Derived from: Blood Meal, Feather Meal, Bone Meal, Dried Chicken Manure, Bat Guano, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp Meal, and Potassium Sulfate.

The not so little now really is growing well๐Ÿ˜Š. Had to get it in another box to keep good temperature. I keep doing some defoliation Time to Time.

Overall very solid strain from Ethos as I expected. They definitely pushing the boundaries. This strain is extremely pungent and smells like a bag of Skittles when you just open it. Wish I could turn it into an air freshener and smell it all day long. Smoke is off the charts and very uplifting. LOVE Ethos Zweet Auto!

Sono felicissimo,abituato alle hps e cmh e non riuscivo ad ottenere grandi risultati, con una hps 600 watt massimo 450 grammi,con un led 730 ho fatto 1500 grammi,waooo๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Good growth on them little bit of nutrients burn on the northern lights. Wonโ€™t get much out that small one but I just couldnโ€™t let it go

I am extremely satisfied with the biotabs fertilizer, something incredible. and no PH water adjustment ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿผ one shows a slight lack of magnesium. I will not deal with it at this stage, but next time I will put the lights higher.๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป -and the buds are incredible for 4w blooms BIOTABS: โ€ฆโ€ฆ.. is still the best organic fertilizer I've tried. incredibly good and simple and I only applied it 2x๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป in 1w and 4w๐ŸŒน

Sehr schlechtes Wetter. Viel Regen, kalte Nรคchte, kaum Sonne. Es ist voll Herbst. Hoffe, das bessert sich nochmal und frost kommt nicht so schnell...3 fat banana sind geerntet. Eine steht noch. Die mit wasserschaden wachsen kaum noch. Mehr als ein paar gramm werden das nicht mehr..noch lรคuft es. Bis nรคchste Woche โœŒ๏ธ

Hello growers and tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ This strain is a monster!! Grows so fast, it's amazing! Topped and trained her first day of the week, a few days later she was already growing vigorously!! ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿš€ Also cleared up some bottom growth that wasn't going to reach up evenly.. after topping she keeps growing upwards and fast so I might have to tie down those top colas or maybe even top them, haven't decided yet.. All I know is she's going to be HUGE for this tiny balcony. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ I'm not sure how much direct light the balcony will be receiving when she starts to flower.. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and after seeing how she grows I might cut off some more bottom growth or not, let's see. This week heat went up and humidity down like crazy. Upped to 2.5L every other day.. Stay tuned for more updates and if you like what you see then check out the other diaries. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Happy Growing!๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฒ

Chemical reactions in which, a single substance splits up into two or more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. These reactions are carried out by energy, supplied by different sources. The required energy can be supplied by heat (thermolysis), electricity (electrolysis), or light (photolysis). Letโ€™s talk about photolysis reactions (not photosynthesis): Photolysis (also called photodissociation and photodecomposition) is a chemical reaction, in which a chemical (an inorganic or an organic) is broken down by photons and is the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule. The photolysis reaction is not limited to the effects of visible light, but any photon with sufficient energy (higher than the dissociation energy of the targeted bond) can cause the chemical transformation of the said (inorganic or organic) bond(s) of a chemical. Since the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength, electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and ฮณ -rays, can also initiate photolysis reactions. Like all other peroxides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also consists of a relatively weaker Oโˆ’O bond, which is susceptible to light or heat. The net equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2โŸถ2H2O+O2 The step-wise reaction mechanism is suggested as follows (Ref.1): H2O2+hฮฝโŸถ2HOโˆ™ HOโˆ™+H2O2โŸถHOโˆ’Oโˆ™+H2O HOโˆ’Oโˆ™+H2O2โŸถ2HOโˆ™+H2O+O2 Using isotope studies it was confirmed that the O2 formed is cleanly derived from H2O2 (Ref.2). Notes: The rate increases rapidly in the presence of catalysts such as MnO2 and KI (Ref.2). The rate of decomposition is slow at room temperature, but it increases with temperature. It is believed to be due to thermal decomposition of H2O2, which seemingly accelerates the photolysis (Ref.3). References: 1.J. P. Hunt, H. Taube, โ€œThe Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Quantum Yields, Tracer and Fractionation Effects,โ€ J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(23), 5999โ€“6002 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01143a052). 2.A. E. Cahill, H. Taube, โ€œThe Use of Heavy Oxygen in the Study of Reactions of Hydrogen Peroxide,โ€ J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(9), 2312โ€“2318 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01129a042). 3.F. O. Rice, M. L. Kilpatrick, โ€œThe Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions,โ€ J. Phys. Chem. 1927, 31(10), 1507โ€“1510 (https://doi.org/10.1021/j150280a004). Interestingly, as early as 1934 Haber and Weiss (Ref. 1) proposed that HO2โˆ™ is formed in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The subsequent reaction of the transient superoxide radical anion with hydrogen peroxide has been determined to also form the hydroxyl radical (Ref. 2). The higher pH version of the last reaction is, therefore, best represented as: O2โˆ™โˆ’+H2O2โŸถ2HOโˆ™+OHโˆ’+O2 And as H++OHโˆ’=H2O, the net product formation is not altered. However, alkaline H2O2 is well known to be less stable than acidic hydrogen peroxide (Ref.3) even in absence of light exposure, which accelerates its decomposition (which can involve radical pathways) liberating oxygen!

This ones doing well. They got moved into the 4x4 with the jimmy rigged 180w quantum board light built from ceiling tile grid. The tnb co2 is newish but I gotta get the heat up and bring in a more powerful light to take full advantage.
