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. Remember, For every molecule of glucose produced during photosynthesis, a plant needs to split six molecules of water. This process provides the hydrogen needed for synthesizing glucose and other organic compounds, while oxygen is released as a byproduct. 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/yellowing) 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. For those high-intensity workouts when 1 meal a day is just not enough! 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 plant was getting a little limey yellow in the centre. Shortly thereafter, she was back in business, green mostly regenerated. 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. Confidence is evidence... nothing more. You are confident because you have driven 10,000 times, you are confident because you have spoken 10,000 times. People think confidence is a feeling, but it's not. If you want more confidence, then you need to create evidence, take more shots, collect more data, build more experiences, take more risks; fail, confidence doesn't come first; it is the reward you get for doing the work. no one else wants to do.

I stripped the leaves on this plant. Idk why I just did it. But it's a good week for her

24.07.2025 – 30.07.2025 🌸 Week 2 Flower — Stretch still going strong! 🌸 Plants are now in their second week of 12/12. Stretch is at full power 🚀 — some shoots almost doubled in size compared to last week. Bud sites are becoming more visible and small pistils are showing everywhere 🧡. This week I slightly increased the nutrient strength (EC ~1.6–1.7 / 850–950 ppm), adding more bloom nutrients and boosters while keeping a bit of nitrogen for the last phase of vegetative growth. 🌡️ Environment stayed steady: 27°C day / 20°C night, 60–65% RH — exactly where I want it for VPD balance. 🌿 Aroma is starting to appear when I open the tent — a sweet/fruity smell, and trichomes are spreading onto the leaves ✨. Mistake from last week (using IR too early) is now more obvious — plants stretched more than I wanted 😅. But it’s still manageable with training & airflow. 👉 From here on, I’ll slowly reduce the nitrogen and fully switch to bloom nutrition. Next week should be the true start of flower stacking.

Maybe 1-2weeks left

Sticky Mango Auto — Week 4 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Late Veg → Early Flower Transition ⸻ Growth Overview By Week 4, a noticeable size difference has developed between the two plants. One plant is nearly double the size of the other, while the smaller plant has entered early flower first, showing visible white pistils. This staggered development is not uncommon in autoflowers and appears to be influenced by early root-zone moisture differences. The larger plant remains in late vegetative growth, while the smaller plant is clearly transitioning into flower. ⸻ Moisture Management & Wicking Adjustments 2/1 Signs of overwatering observed. Pots were placed on stands to remove them from the wicking rope and mat. The absorbent pad was removed from the pot showing more stress, while the healthier plant remained on the mat. After ~11 hours, both plants were returned to their wicking material. 2/2 Plants continued to show signs of excess moisture. Both were again placed on stands to fully disconnect from the wicking ropes. 2/3 Decided to extend dry-back by another 24 hours to allow the root zone to re-oxygenate. These adjustments helped slow water uptake and encouraged healthier root respiration before flower onset. ⸻ Flower Initiation 2/5 First signs of flower observed — white pistil hairs visible. 2/6 Smaller plant clearly showing pistils. Both plants were low-stress trained by tying down branches to open structure and manage height differences. ⸻ Feeding Log — 2/6 • Total volume: 1 gallon (split evenly) • Amount: ½ gallon per plant • PPM: 877 • pH: 5.9 Nutrients (per gallon): • Armor Si — 1 ml • Micro — 5 ml • Grow — 2 ml • Bloom — 4 ml • CaliMagic — 1.5 ml • Floralicious Plus — 1 ml ⸻ Nutrient Strategy & Purpose (Week 4 Transition) Armor Si (Silica) Used to strengthen cell walls and improve stress resistance. Especially important here due to recent moisture stress, training, and the upcoming stretch phase. Micro Provides essential micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper) that support chlorophyll production and enzyme activity. Keeps growth balanced as the plant shifts metabolic focus toward flowering. Grow (Reduced) Nitrogen is still needed, but at a lowered rate. This supports continued leaf function without pushing excess vegetative growth, which can be counterproductive once flowering begins—especially for the smaller plant already showing pistils. Bloom (Increased) Phosphorus and potassium are ramped up to support flower initiation, root signaling, and early bud site development. This helps both plants transition smoothly despite their size difference. CaliMagic Calcium supports cell division and structural growth, while magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production. Critical in coco, especially during stretch and early flower when demand increases. Floralicious Plus Provides organic acids and bioactive compounds that enhance nutrient uptake, improve root efficiency, and help buffer stress from training and environmental adjustments. ⸻ Notes Going Forward With one plant entering flower ahead of the other, feeding will remain balanced but conservative on nitrogen while continuing to support early bloom development. Moisture management will stay a priority to prevent further root stress and ensure a smooth transition into full flower.

Hi to all friends of the green leaf, So, the move to the big tent went well, you can see the strawberries like the space, they started to expand immediately. Today I gave them one last "big" training, they are all starting to bloom nicely. Oh, and lest I forget, for the first time I'm experimenting with adding CO2, I used the normal fermentation process, using yeast, sugar and water. I mixed it all up in a bottle, made a hole in the cap for the tubing, and placed the end of the tubing in a circulation fan. So, have a nice time and keep it growing ! Peace✌️

Steady healthy growth ive found no spidermites so far. Very chrystaline very beautiful. Very good recovery from spidermite damage so far.very exited to see how this goes. Red diesel smells very sweet and fruity other ones smell very strong but more earthy.

Great breeder, great strains to grow, and finished on time as advertised.

Hello fellow growers, LSD-25 is ripe. We will be cutting them down on christmas eve. The smell is astonishing and both smell different. One is very fruity, whilst the other smells like Gas and citrus. Both very strong smellers also. Im hyped up for the harvest and will be back soon to give you guys a smoke review. But for now, this is one of the best strain ive ever grown. Strong, fast and heavy, all positive in one plant combined See you guys soon Happy

This week was the last week of veg., I will switch to 12/12 (light/darkness) in week 6. The two Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants are now 35 and 40 cm tall and have developed nice side-branches, which have grown upwards so they get enough light for good budding sites during flowering. The plants are still fed following the Advanced Nutrients schedule.

Day 36 - Checked PPM 400. Plant is wide and bushy. Day 37 - Plant is 28 inches tall and 10 inches from the light. Day 38 - Plant is 29 inches tall. Root system is almost maxed out for 5 gallon bucket. Checked PPM 700. Built a new light stand/grow area. Now bigger then 4 by 4 foot area. Day 39 - Started a new bucket of water and nutes. Added 20 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 10 mL of each additive. I didnt add the rooting additives Tarantula Piranha and Voodoo Juice. PPM is 1,600. Plant is 32 inches tall. Different looking growth forming. Day 42 - Checked PPM 1,520. Added RO water. PPM is 640. Added 10 mL of CalMag Micro Grow and Bloom. Added 5 mL of each additive. PPM is 1,300. Plant is 34 inches tall. Noticeable bud development started.

i run in a bit calmag defiency i dont know why, my only guess is overwatering, other plant (tangiematic) didnt have this problem with same feeding. maybe the light was too close and burned a bit faster trough the calmag as it has 2.75 par.

First week of just water no issues so far!

Welcome to week 8 of flower for this wild project! We will be looking to check trichomes over the coming days to see how things are coming along. I know for sure PGC#2 will be ready far before the rest but we will check all of them none the less. As we reach the race for the finish line Im very pleased with what i've accomplished with these plants this grow! Huge shout outs go to @MarsHydroLED as well as @Seedsman for their outstanding gear and genetics to work with! HUGE shout out goes to all my followers and people who stop in a like! Keep giving inspiration to grow! -The Projexx Day#50F Pictures N/A. Ladies are starting to slow down on new pistol growth and focusing on ripening up. Day#51F Watered ladies 6L each at 160PPM. We've began flushing them. Day#52F PGC#1 leaves starting to turn quite purple, Banana Krumble still has a while to go. Checking trichomes tomorrow. Day#53F Pictures N/A. Watered ladies 6L each at 160PPM. PGC#1 trichomes are doing well mostly cloudy little amber, Banana Krumble still has lots of time to go and PGC#2 is almost ready displaying lots of amber and lots of milky trichomes gonna give her a few more days. Day#54F Pictures N/A. Banana Krumble still thickening up , PGC#2 is looking quite ready and PGC#1 is far behind her sister! Day#55F Harvested PGC#2. Watered ladies 6L at 160PPM. PGC#1 is turning more purple by the day quite the lovely show! Day#56F Pictures N/A. Banana Krumble still thickening up but displaying more orange pistols , she's gonna be a 70 - 77 day girl but I'll get big rewards! PGC#1 ripening up daily! Recap: Over all things went super well this week! We harvested the smallest plant in the room and ended up with almost 500G of wet weight roughly 6-7 ounces off that plant dry, she smells very very gassy with light hints of candy and fruit very pleasing combination to say the least. We are coming up on the finish line quickly for this project Im excited to see what the other plants will yield!

Took the cut as I said I would got 6 off the galato and 4 off the MCMOG....it amazing how 2 becomes more would have more tree of the same to cut nxt cut🔥🔥💨💨💨

5/10 Got up super early for wife's appointment at 7 came home and transplanted 4 of the purple punches. Transplants went good. Soil was too dry and a couple fell right in the hole but I was messing around showing my dad. It just got dropped in the hole a little harder lol. The other that happened to is fine though. Definitely make sure your soil is moist enough before transplanting. My transplanting technique for 3 gallon is to put soil on bottom. Set cup in at appropriate distance then replace cup with plant with soil filled cup and fill around it. Leaves the perfect hole. Then you just snip the cups twice on each side, peel it down and fold the cup down and cradle the bottom and in the hole it goes! Holes have mykoscand a little like water. I water a little after transplant. I misted soil whole mixing it up. 5/11 Dad left the windows open last night "because the soil smell was bothering Lynda." I couldn't ficking believe it. They were all fine when I got back but still. Everything is transplanted into 3 gallon containers bit that 1 purple punch that is a little bit dwarfed. I looked at the bottom of the cup and drainage wasn't as good. Must've been the last cup and the jail didn't go all the way through in a couple places. I increased the drainage on that little dwarf and I'll transplant it when I get time. We are going to have some good weather coming up. I need to get my cage moved, my bags sanitized and get on a good watering routine. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's dry as fuck but the leaves are uo and every one of them looks happy so I'm holding off watering. I'll start with a quart probably tomorrow. Also cleaned out tge cage and secured the handles to move it. Only thing left is cleaning and sanitizing. These girls have a south facing window and they LOVE it. It was 80 today. I hope we have an early season. 5/12 Transplanted the last purple punch today. I could easily tell the problem was drainage. It was the last cup I had stacked when I drove the nail threw so it didn't pierce all the way the the other slips and tac holes apparently weren't enough. Used mykos and same soil mixture. Soil was extremely dry. I lifted a pot with dry soil and these were heavier. Commercial buddy said to start with a quart a pliant and see how it goes but I kind pussed out and only gave them 24fl 0z a plant. Half the quart. I asked if I should water more and he said to just wait and see how they like this water and up it to a quart next time maybe quart and a half. Im just leery of overwatering. When i watered SOME of them the water literally just sat there and took forever to absorb. Plants werent wilting though. Soon theyll be going outside during the day and in mdoors at night. UPDATE: Went back over at two and everything looks AMAZING. Healthiest looking plants I've grown. Leaves all pointed up. I'm taking my commercial dudes advice and hoping the water next watering. For now, they're doing amazing. 5/13 Everything is doing greatcso far. Gotta figure out when to start nutes. Considering adding silica but don't want to raise ph to much. I'll consult with others but my the soil blend I'm using is full of nutes. 5/14 Rushed morning and I wanted to water bit the plants looked great still. Sticking my hands deeper I can feel a little moisture deeper down or in the drain holes so I decided to give the blueberry cheese and the 10th planet a "touch of kindness" which was a small circle of water from a small watering can around the outside edge of whete the rootball should lid be. I'm working on getting a watering g schedule down. UPDATE: Went back over at five and everything was looking good with leaves praying. Maybe my half measure helped. Doubtful but still. Tomorrow I plan to water. Since the soil has tons of nites ill probably hold off a little while longer before starting the nutrient schedule. I want to make sure I've got the watering down first. One thing at a time. 5/15 The 10th planet and Blueberry Cheesecgot their first REAL watering since transplant. Still being cautious I watered 28fl Oz a plant. I phed the water with an indicator solution and ph down. I gave the purple punches a "cup of kindness" which was a circle of water around the transplant hole. Can't waif to get a watering schedule down. I wanted to start nutes but my soil is full of them and i believe it's too early. I didn't see ANY run off from this watering. I think that's good as I'm not looking to wash away the nutes in the expensive soil I use. I need to start HST as well but I'm doing things proper and "one at a time". That way if I run into a problem I'll know what I did and how to rectify it. At least I hope. UPDATE: Went back over at 3 leary that I may have "overwatered" but the plants ALL looked AMAZING and had shot up like an inch! Looking into hst and will probable fim a few. Top a few and leave one to grow naturally. Can't wait to see how these girls do outside. 5/16 Wow. Just wow. Plants are doing phenomenal! Since the watering went really well I watered the purple punch bit I only used about 16fl Oz as the plants were a little smaller than the others. I'll up it to a quart next time like I did with the others. I want to USE the nutes in my soil so im not washing them all away by watering to run off. I topped 2 10th planet's and FIMed one of them. I want to see how the respond then I'll begin training the others. Off to a Great Start! 5/17 Glad I held off watering. It's raining today. Just showers. We haven't gotten any of that extreme wind we usually do. I have the plants supported but I still worry. Definitely more than I should. Plants are still doing good and acclikatimg to their new homes.

Wet and high humidity up to 90% definitely not ideal but every still looks fine no sign of any mold hope there isn't much more rain over these final weeks.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la segunda semana de floración de estas Runtz Punch de Herbies. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta hacen sus funciones. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. ( los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca) Llevaba 10 años trabajando en sodio y fue un salto de gigantes cambiar a los Leds, jamás me arrepentiré de ese cambio. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
