At day 20, I can see that the strech phase is almost over. The girls are now expressing a more specific nose, even if they share a similar aromatic profile of exotic fruits. They all share that same tropical funk back ground (myrcene/terpinolene), but some of them (#2 and 4) got a solid punch of sour lemon. Pheno #1 65%Indica Bushy/compact structure Smaller buds, tightly disposed on the branches Sweet/tropical/Pine Pheno #2 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ Very fat branches Good size buds, medium internodes Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus Pheno #3 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ good size branches Good size buds, medium internodes Sweet/tropical/skunk Pheno #4 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ medium size branches Good size buds, short internodes Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus Pheno #5 80%Sativa leggy structure/small size and long branches Good size buds, long internodes, it stacks Sweet/tropical

Everything has been growing great this week! These autos sure do grow fast! but did have a slight issue with the Fast buds BlackBerry getting a little bit too top heavy so I moved her closer to the light. The video above is from day 13 and the Honey Peach CBD from SweetSeeds that is in the back left pot was about 5/6 days old

The Specials continue to flower like nobodys business while the Purples are still slow in their reaction to the change in lighting. Despite the similar names these two strains do not seem to accompany each other well. I cant see how the special will not bee ready for harvest at least two weeks prior to the Purples, but we will see. At least the purples are picking up on the stretch a little so they may not fall too much behind the specials. Doesnt matter, by now I got almost every plant standing on its on little something to get an even canopy. Also noticed a faint sweet/creamy smell developing, going in a good direction. This weeks feeding schedule (and also a bit next week) sees a slow change from grow to bloom nutrients. I perform that change a little faster on the Specials, as they are actually already making flowers.

As tops from largest 3 girls grew I trained them outward to fill the space more evenly, prepping them for their move to the larger chamber next week. They reacted very quickly to the training. The smaller of the 3 large plants seems to be needing more water than the other plants, wilting faster. Perks right back up after about 20-30 min of watering. Topped the rest of the smaller plants for a second time.

NORTHERN LIGHT AUTO (ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS) Descripción: Poco después de conquistar la escena del cannabis en Holanda, la Northern Lights se convirtió en el estándar del cultivo en interior. Su influencia se extendió por todo el mundo y acabaría convirtiéndose en uno de los pilares del desarrollo de cepas de cannabis modernas. Durante los últimos años, las técnicas de cultivo y reproducción han generado versiones de Northern Lights que mantienen las características de esta leyenda mientras añaden algo interesante a la fórmula. La Northern Light Automatic de Royal Queen Seeds es la combinación perfecta entre lo nuevo y lo viejo. Al tratarse de una cepa autofloreciente y feminizada, la Northern Light Automatic es una planta versátil, perfecta para cultivadores discretos de interior pero también para cultivadores de exterior a gran escala. Tras una breve fase vegetativa, la planta empieza a crecer y a producir gran cantidad de flores, terminando su ciclo de vida en solo 9 o 10 semanas desde que se planta la semilla. Día 0: He germinado la semilla en un papel humedecido a 30°C con un pH6 Día 1: La semilla abrió perfectamente y la trasplanté rapidamente a su maceta final de 15L geotextil de Royal Queen Seeds y he puesto en el agua de riego Deeper Underground 1ml/l y Atami NRG Roots-C 2ml/l. Día 2: La pequeña ha cogido 3cm y va creciendo rapidamente. Parece que los nutrientes hacen sus efectos perfectamente Día 3: después de alcanzar los 3cm hoy hemos regado con el enrraizador para su sistema radicular aportando 1ml/l Deeper Underground y 2ml/l de Atami NRG Roots-C

Skunk appears to have grown an inch this week. I measured both of my colas to see if there was a height difference between the two. Amazingly, the cola that broke is 1 inch taller than its counter parts. I also took a picture of a skunk plant that I am growing simultaneously in a grow tent. They are SO different. I thought nature would produce a better grow but in this case, my skunk plant in the tent is bigger and its buds are thicker. Now, that being said, I did not pinch the skunk that is growing in the tent. As a matter of fact, I haven't had to tend to the grow tent skunk plant as much as my outside grow because of our crazy weather this Spring. I originally bought this skunk seed because I wanted to know if it would smell like a skunk. FYI: It does not. Royal Queen says "The Sweet Skunk Auto strain offers a powerful taste and aroma mixing slightly fruity, spicy, and—of course—skunky notes. I can smell the fruity scent.

esta semana los cogollos ban engordando y se nota que los pelos han cambiado us tonalidad, un dia de estos revisare los tricomas al microscopio a ver que tal está en ese aspecto. es algo qe por fotos no se puede transmitir, pero los cogollos están realmente duros. Puede que se acerque la cosecha, segun el banco el tiempo de flora son 56-63 días y van 51, asi que basicamente depende de como vaya viendo los terpenos se cosechará antes o después

Growth 14 to 21 The nutritive solution has evolved during the week. I started with a PH of 5.6 and an EC of 2 to have this evolution : 12/10 PH 5.6 EC 2 13/10 PH 5.9 EC 2.1 14/10 PH 6.2 EC 2.1 15/10 PH 6.3 EC 2.2 16/10 PH 6.5 EC 2.3 17/10 PH 6.5 EC 2.4 during this 3rd week of flowering, fim and topping have recovered well and we can see that the hydro system is well launched since the plants are growing well. On the leaves with 1 and 3 leaflets you can see the deficiency or blockage that I had in week two of growth. Everything is going well now. I can clearly see that the BBM 2 and 4 are the most in shape for the moment, both visually and in terms of roots. I replace the nutrient solution. So I make 60L at a rate of : 4ML/L Sensi grow A&B 2Ml/L Bud Ignitor 2ML/L B-52 This gives EC 2.2 PH 5.6, still without using ph down. I start the Bud Ignitor a week early to get flowers faster. Some growers using AN have seen a difference rather than waiting until the beginning of bloom. I am lowering the leds to a ppfd of 600 for this last week of growth. From now on I will spray my "Pshit" of THESEEDSMAKER, twice a day to create my seeds. ++

Aug 17: she is looking happy at the start of the fifth week since I started force flowering. Buds are forming and everything is on track. Very nice plant. Aug 18: nice enough day after a small bit of rain early. Tops are progressing nicely. Aug 20: hot and sunny so extra water again despite some rain last night. Aug 23: added another Scrog layer. This seems like a really good way to stabilize the plant while holding things in place for maximum sunlight exposure.

Once again she passes my expectations, late to the show with trichome production. I'm surprised there is purple on the bud, maybe Purpinator does work. I thought I could see hints under the grow lights and thought my eyes were deceiving me, I was just being hopeful. But nah 2 of the 3(under the UV) have developed a beautiful tone of purple. I was never going to bother with a deep freeze but maybe the whole bud will change given conditions, that would be something, fingers crossed. 🤔 was a little skeptical that reducing temps humidity would change density, but it does, buds are solid something I've not been able to achieve before. Rule of thumb is never to surpass 60% RH in the flowering phase and try to progressively reduce it down to 40% in the last 2–3 weeks before harvest. The plant will react as it seeks to protect its flowers, responding by producing denser buds and a higher concentration of resin. Cannabis plants are sensitive to sudden temperature changes, especially in the flowering stage. Extreme heat or cold can impact bud density and overall yields. In nature as a defense mechanism from cold, the plant sensing sudden dips in temperature will attempt to remove the pockets of air within the bud, it achieves this by compacting itself in doing so to better protect itself from cold snaps which are normally indicators in nature that worse weather is on the way. Terpene levels are the highest just before the sun comes out. Ideally, you want as many terpenes present in your plants as possible when you harvest. Cannabis plants soak up the sun during the day and produce resin and other goodies at night. The plant is at its emptiest from "harvest undesirables," so to speak,k right before the lights come on. Freshly cut buds are greener than dried buds because they still contain loads of chlorophyll. However, when rushed through the drying process, the buds dry but retain some chlorophyll, and when you smoke it, you will taste it. Chlorophyll-filled buds are smokable, but they aren’t clean. Slow drying gives the buds enough time and favorable conditions to lose the chlorophyll and sugars, giving you a smoother smoke. How the plant disposes of the chlorophyll and sugars by a process of chemically breaking them down and attaching the decomposed matter once small enough to water molecules, which then evaporate back into the ether. Time must be given to the process to break down the chlorophyll and sugars. Think of it like optimizing the environment for decay. Plant growth and geographic distribution (where the plant can grow) are greatly affected by the environment. If any environmental factor is less than ideal, it limits a plant's growth and/or distribution. For example, only plants adapted to limited amounts of water can live in deserts. Either directly or indirectly, most plant problems are caused by environmental stress. In some cases, poor environmental conditions (e.g., too little water) damage a plant directly. In other cases, environmental stress weakens a plant and makes it more susceptible to disease or insect attack. Environmental factors that affect plant growth include light, temperature, water, humidity, and nutrition. It's important to understand how these factors affect plant growth and development. With a basic understanding of these factors, you may be able to manipulate plants to meet your needs, whether for increased leaf, flower, or fruit production. By recognizing the roles of these factors, you'll also be better able to diagnose plant problems caused by environmental stress. Water and humidity *Most growing plants contain about 90 percent water. Water plays many roles in plants. It is:* A primary component in photosynthesis and respiration Responsible for turgor pressure in cells (Like the air in an inflated balloon, water is responsible for the fullness and firmness of plant tissue. Turgor is needed to maintain cell shape and ensure cell growth.) A solvent for minerals and carbohydrates moving through the plant Responsible for cooling leaves as it evaporates from leaf tissue during transpiration A regulator of stomatal opening and closing, thus controlling transpiration and, to some degree, photosynthesis The source of pressure to move roots through the soil The medium in which most biochemical reactions take place Relative humidity is the ratio of water vapor in the air to the amount of water the air could hold at the current temperature and pressure. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air. Relative humidity (RH) is expressed by the following equation: RH = water in air ÷ water air could hold (at constant temperature and pressure) The relative humidity is given as a percent. For example, if a pound of air at 75°F could hold 4 grams of water vapor, and there are only 3 grams of water in the air, then the relative humidity (RH) is: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 = 75% Water vapor moves from an area of high relative humidity to one of low relative humidity. The greater the difference in humidity, the faster water moves. This factor is important because the rate of water movement directly affects a plant's transpiration rate. The relative humidity in the air spaces between leaf cells approaches 100 percent. When a stoma opens, water vapor inside the leaf rushes out into the surrounding air (Figure 2), and a bubble of high humidity forms around the stoma. By saturating this small area of air, the bubble reduces the difference in relative humidity between the air spaces within the leaf and the air adjacent to the leaf. As a result, transpiration slows down. If the wind blows the humidity bubble away, however, transpiration increases. Thus, transpiration usually is at its peak on hot, dry, windy days. On the other hand, transpiration generally is quite slow when temperatures are cool, humidity is high, and there is no wind. Hot, dry conditions generally occur during the summer, which partially explains why plants wilt quickly in the summer. If a constant supply of water is not available to be absorbed by the roots and moved to the leaves, turgor pressure is lost and leaves go limp. Plant Nutrition Plant nutrition often is confused with fertilization. Plant nutrition refers to a plant's need for and use of basic chemical elements. Fertilization is the term used when these materials are added to the environment around a plant. A lot must happen before a chemical element in a fertilizer can be used by a plant. Plants need 17 elements for normal growth. Three of them--carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen--are found in air and water. The rest are found in the soil. Six soil elements are called macronutrients because they are used in relatively large amounts by plants. They are nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur. Eight other soil elements are used in much smaller amounts and are called micronutrients or trace elements. They are iron, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, and chlorine. They make up less than 1% of total but are none the less vital. Most of the nutrients a plant needs are dissolved in water and then absorbed by its roots. In fact, 98 percent are absorbed from the soil-water solution, and only about 2 percent are actually extracted from soil particles. Fertilizers Fertilizers are materials containing plant nutrients that are added to the environment around a plant. Generally, they are added to the water or soil, but some can be sprayed on leaves. This method is called foliar fertilization. It should be done carefully with a dilute solution because a high fertilizer concentration can injure leaf cells. The nutrient, however, does need to pass through the thin layer of wax (cutin) on the leaf surface. It is to be noted applying a immobile nutrient via foliar application it will remain immobile within the leaf it was absorbed through. Fertilizers are not plant food! Plants produce their own food from water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy through photosynthesis. This food (sugars and carbohydrates) is combined with plant nutrients to produce proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and other elements essential to growth. Nutrient absorption Anything that reduces or stops sugar production in leaves can lower nutrient absorption. Thus, if a plant is under stress because of low light or extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiency may develop. A plant's developmental stage or rate of growth also may affect the amount of nutrients absorbed. Many plants have a rest (dormant) period during part of the year. During this time, few nutrients are absorbed. Plants also may absorb different nutrients as flower buds begin to develop than they do during periods of rapid vegetative growth.
