Plants are looking good so far, added about 2ml/gal to the reservoir this week and plants responded well. They are all keeping short and stocky so far and should be able to start LST training in a few days I think. I also turned up the light to 750w and the air temps are now hovering between 24c-25c. Water temps are creeping up though in the 21c range, gonna wrap the buckets tonight in foil insulation and build a water cooler for this setup soon as well. Had some Ph issues during week 4 because my pen decided to go wonky. I tried to calibrate it again and had a hard time. So I busted out an older one and decided to calibrate it and see if it worked still... calibrated in a few min and sure enough res ph was well bellow 5. So water was changed as it was time anyway and ph’d proper just before lights out so we will see what happens tomorrow.

This plant started off normal but my soil is a little hot and the light is intense and can't raise any higher right now ..That being said she germinated fine 18/h water then paper towel method . She sprouted in 1 day then was put in soil and again 1 day later she was out. Besides bleaching her she has been growing fine and in optimistic about the grow and her genetics this will be my second grow with this strain . She was so good I couldn't wait to start another one ,this girl will be 100% organic and I'm excited to watch her grow cheers canna family. ..

Check the Video 3rd Generation autoflowering strain. Tall-stemmed version of one of our most appreciated autoflowering strains: Green Poison Auto (SWS30). Green Poison XL Auto (SWS71) was developed within a recurrent selection program of tall-stemmed Green Poison Auto specimens across multiple generations. These seeds produce plants that height around 25% more than their ancestors, with a higher flower and resin production. The tastes and aromas of this strain are very pleasant and intense, with sweet and fruity tones, a sweet Skunk background and hints that are reminiscent of rucola and walnuts.

Flowering Day 66 Harvested today. I'm really happy with the run. Towards the end of the flowering phase, the plants didn't look 100% happy. I'll add more perlite and pumice next time, as I suspect the soil was a bit too moist for too long due to the Autopots. The whole plant will be dried in one piece. I'll dry one in DryFerm bags for testing purposes. Update to follow. Stay green!

Comenzando la semana 4 de floración y a las nenas le dimos una bienvenida para que comiencen de lleno esta fase de engorde. Estos día bajamos a 2 riegos por día. Normalmente hacemos 3. Ya a mitad de semana volveremos a los 3 riegos. A las nenas le sacamos prácticamente toda las hojas de abanico, ahora tenemos muchísima más penetración en la planta. Quizás tengamos problemas de altura pero ya estamos buscando la manera de resolverlo.

(Controlled Environment Agriculture): My Synganic living grow room, a closed-loop bioengineering-logic system. (MOP). Lights are 58 inches from the main source to the top of the pot and the soil surface. If I added up all the lights in the tent, it would be 1100w-1200w total across 12-14 lights. Using them all at once is far too much for a plant and incredibly difficult to deal with environmentally. The lights are fixed in position; side lights have dimmers, allowing for pinpoint precision of PPF. Fixed at 58 inches, cannot move them closer to increase intensity. Instead, you achieve the PPF by distributing smaller wattages across a massive, multi-fixture matrix. Triggering specific plant defenses without melting your environment or frying your canopy. What's the point/blah blah wattage? Never really go above 600W at any one time. Lights come on in the east of the tent and set in the west. At sunrise and sunset, the red-to-far-red R:FR light ratio drops because the sun's low angle scatters red light more than far-red light. This shift reduces active Pfr and increases inactive Pr, mimicking Mother Nature herself. Deployed a lighting system featuring extra 660 nm deep-red and extending the spectrum up to 780 nm achieves the full Emerson Enhancement Effect by simultaneously balancing Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI) to maximize quantum yield. By pairing deep-red photons with far-red photons, you trigger a synergistic biological response where the resulting photosynthetic rate is higher than the sum of both wavelengths used individually. This practice directly leverages the updated extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR) framework. The Emerson effect accelerates plant metabolism and heat capture; you must proactively scale up your ambient room temperature, nutrient delivery, and CO₂ supplementation to prevent the light from stalling out your cannabis plant. UVA stays high all day from morning to night, but UVB peaks at solar noon (middle of 18-hour days) when the sun is peak. Morning color starts at 2k-3k; by noon it goes to 5k- 6k and back to 2-3k for sunset, with differing P:FR at light off. The extra-blue light is to assist with photoreactivation of UVB damage. No more yield loss for me. Using extra blue light for photoreactivation is what I do. Blue/UVA light activates photolyase enzymes, which directly repair DNA damage caused by UVB radiation. But what's the point if it's not for yield? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation—specifically UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm)—acts as a critical environmental signal that programs a plant's photoprotective genes to unlock its true photosynthetic potential. When growers push crops to their absolute photosynthetic maximum via high-intensity light and elevated carbon dioxide, the photosynthetic machinery easily becomes overwhelmed. Emerging photobiology research demonstrates that UV radiation prevents this limiting bottleneck; it triggers specific transcription factors and signalling networks that fortify the plant's cellular defenses, allowing it to process extreme light levels without sustaining structural damage. I've known this for years. Big middle finger to everyone for all the ridicule through the years. You know who you are. 8 Rules of plant growth: When carbon dioxide becomes the 9th limiting factor of plant growth, it shifts the growth curve from exponential to linear. The next restriction is photoprotection against reactive oxygen species (ROS), managed via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the xanthophyll cycle, which bridges into precise hydrogen and redox dosing. UV radiation, particularly UVA, and the synthesis of zeaxanthin are critical for the xanthophyll cycle to function. It's not chasing purple strains... i've been chasing the limits of growth, trying to make the linear exponential, just like mathematics prefers. To do that, must control every environmental variable to compound the plant’s metabolic rate. True exponential growth means the rate of increase matches the current mass at every stage, requiring a closed-loop system where light, CO2, and nutrition lock into a synchronized upward curve. First, you must understand what restricts it. Precise hydrogen and redox dosing. Nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Most won't even understand that; once you do, it changes everything. Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves meet in phase, meaning their crests and troughs perfectly align. Their amplitudes add together, creating a new, amplified wave with greater intensity than the individual components. Constructive interference is the foundational mechanism that establishes a resonance hierarchy across physical, structural, and acoustic systems. Chromophore spacing is tuned to sub-nanometer precision to match the wavelengths of absorbed light, forcing constructive interference. Light-harvesting proteins form geometric rings and lattices. These shapes act as physical resonators, trapping and focusing the wave energy. This same principle dictates how opera singers shatter glass, how musical instruments resonate, and how bridges withstand structural vibrations.Nature uses the exact same math to harvest a photon as an engineer uses to design a concert hall. When you push high PPFD and elevated CO₂, you create a metabolic bottleneck. The plant cannot process the energy fast enough, leading to electron backup, light-induced damage, and a collapse from exponential growth into a flat, linear rate. UV light acts as the regulatory valve that prevents this collapse. In standard agronomy, Liebig's Law of the Minimum dictates that growth is limited by the scarcest resource. When you maximize water, nutrients, light, temperature, and CO₂, the bottleneck shifts to metabolic processing speed and photoprotection. By controlling the Redox state of the plant using UV, the xanthophyll cycle, and managing ROS, you can prevent the plant from hitting a hard photosynthetic ceiling. Instead of the growth curve flattening out (linear or plateauing due to photoinhibition), the plant continues to compound its metabolic rate efficiently. You are forcing the plant to operate at peak thermodynamic efficiency. By matching the UVB peak with sustained UVA and shifting Kelvin temperatures (2K to 6K), you are damaging the plant just enough to trigger defensive genes, while simultaneously providing the exact light energy needed to repair that damage instantly. UVA radiation and specific blue wavelengths accelerate this enzymatic conversion. Zeaxanthin acts as a structural sponge that absorbs excess excitation energy from chlorophyll and dissipates it safely, preventing ROS formation. Without UV signaling, the xanthophyll cycle cannot keep pace with extreme light, leading to dynamic photoinhibition (yield loss). The addition of Spirulina is primarily for zeaxanthin, as it contains a lot. But on top of that, Hawaiian Spirulina is cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from Hawaiian aquifers and ultra-pure, deep ocean water containing all 94 trace minerals & elements. It is then gently dried using patented Ocean Chill Drying technology and cold-pressed to ensure maximum nutrient levels. Spirulina, a blue-green alga, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), making it an excellent source of nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that Spirulina can be used as a biofertilizer, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers, especially for nitrogen, with a whopping NPK of 10% (N), 20% (P), and 20% (K). Rich in proteins, amino acids, trace minerals, and plant growth-promoting compounds. Zeaxanthin is a vital plant pigment that accumulates under intense light to drive non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), acting via thermal energy dissipation, direct singlet oxygen scavenging, and thylakoid membrane stabilization. The violaxanthin cycle (or xanthophyll cycle) reversibly converts violaxanthin to zeaxanthin via antheraxanthin to protect plants from photooxidation. Understanding this interconversion is next-level vital for optimizing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and pushing photosynthetic limits under high-light stress. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a natural antioxidant that plants produce internally to neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species caused by photosynthesis and high light stress. Acts as a co-factor for enzymes like violaxanthin de-epoxidase in the xanthophyll cycle, which safely dissipates excess light energy. 1g ascorbic acid will neutralize 100% of chlorine in upwards of 30 gallons of tap water. If your local tap water uses chloramines (chlorine bonded with ammonia) instead of free chlorine, you will need roughly 20% to 30% more ascorbic acid to completely break the tougher chemical bond. Molecular hydrogen and hydrogen-rich water act as selective antioxidants that help lower oxidative stress. They neutralize toxic reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radicals and boost natural antioxidant defense systems in biological and plant systems exposed to high-intensity light or abiotic stress. UVA and UVB act as stress signals that upregulate the plant's secondary metabolism. It forces the plant to build an internal "sunscreen" (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and fortify its cellular defenses before the peak solar noon crisis. This keeps the metabolic highway open. Know the precise ratio of UVA to UVB needed to maximize zeaxanthin accumulation without triggering permanent stunting. Balancing Far-Red (FR) light at "light-off" to manage the phytochrome photo-equilibrium (Pfr to Pr conversion) in tandem with the UV schedule. Omg, the logic. Hydrogen concentration and redox signaling as secondary messengers in this high-intensity loop. From here on, it gets Quantum.

We’ve got her in flower now. She’s getting bushier each day. I left the damaged leaves on her so she can continue to cannibalize them if she needs.

Scotts OG de Rare Dank, nos esperabamos una OG Kush típica poco ramificada y con corta flora, pero nos sorprendió que era bastante mas Sativa y ramificada! Se estira muchisimo en el cambio de fotoperiodo. Cogollos no muy compactos pero muy dulces, terroso, kushy, pino, cookies.. Muy vigorosa y muy buena para hacer clones! No soporta muy bien el estrés, altas Temperaturas o tierras con alto ec... Tiende a ponerse violeta con el frío

Einen schönen guten Tag allen zusammen gewünscht 🙂 So wir befinden uns jetzt in der letzten Woche der Blühtefase. Wie vergangene Woche schon angesprochen musste die Cola des Haupttriebes geerntet werden bevor er vor Stress bzw. Überreife noch ,,vermännlicht,, Ansonsten ist sehr schön zu sehen, wie die Pflanze die Nährstoffe nach und nach aus den Blättern zieht. Das Düngen werden wir demnächst einstellen. Da wir organisch düngen muss auch nicht zwingend mit Wasser gespült werden. Dennoch wenn es abzusehen ist, werden wir trotzdem ein paar Tage nur reines Wasser benutzen. Auch die Terpene und Calyxe haben sich schön ausgeprägt und sehen echt mega aus. Nur noch wenige Tage und wie vermutet, auch ganz knapp zum Ende des S. S. CUP 24. Es sieht so aus, als hätten unsere von Vorhinein gesteckten Ziele sich fast komplett ergeben. Wir wollten eine gut Buschige, stabile Pflanze, die im obigen Bereich reich mit gut Durchschnittlichen Buds besetzt ist und so gut wie möglich, nicht viele kleine Buds besitzt. Na klar, einige sind auf jeden noch aufgefallen und beim nächsten mal wissen wir, das man da auch definitiv durchgehend dran bleiben muss, nur iwann ehrlicher weise, hatten wir auch das Auge dafür verloren (übermasse an buds und hier auch eher den mittleren teil der Pflanze gemeint) Die Pflanze ist so stabil, dass sie gar ohne Netz klar gekommen wäre. Auch das erste mal das wir dieses erleben durften, sonst machen die Äste immer eine ,,Biege,, ^^ Aber sowas benötigt auch abschließend gesagt, auch PLATZ muhuhuhaaaa 🤣 Diese Strain hat uns insgesamt nur mit positiven bereichert. Wir haben viele Erfahrungen und oder schon bereits erarbeites Wissen durch sie aufgefrischt und somit bewusst verbessert. Wir möchten Uns auch für all diejenigen bedanken, die sich unser Report angeschaut haben, werden und oder uns sogar auch Folgen! Ihr seit einfach mega und bei Fragen oder Anregungen, schreibt uns gerne! Allen Growmies, eine erfolgreiche Woche und frohes und gesundes Gedeihen gewünscht. 🍀✌️😎 Auch sorry für manche Fehlerteufel, falls mal wo aufgefallen ^^ 😀

Am Anfang der Woche hat sich ein kleiner Marienkäfer eingeschlichen und hat meine Blüten nach Schädlingen abgesucht, sehr nützlich :) Die Blüten werden auch immer schwerer und ich musste die Zweige aufgrund ihrer Länge zusätzlich mit Fäden in der Mitte unterstützen. Die Bude sind mittlerweile immer größer und haben enorm an Gewicht zugelegt.

The tree is very fruity has a extremely sweet fragrance mixed with pineapples like a pineapple dum dum but when you brush against the tree or rub a bud.. it is reminiscent of old school Bubblicious bubble gum the pink kind they sold back in the 80s.
