High temperatures, high transpiration, high turgor pressure, and lots of cell elongation. Cannabis plants can sense and respond to their surroundings. They don't have brains like humans, but they have evolved sophisticated ways to perceive and react to various environmental cues, including light, gravity, touch, water, sound, and even the presence of other plants. This ability, known as plant perception, allows them to adjust their growth, defend themselves, and even communicate with each other. Infrared light, particularly near-infrared (NIR), can influence plant growth and development by impacting various processes including initiation and elongation. UVB radiation inhibits stem and hypocotyl elongation in plants. Moderate UV-B exposure can cause a decrease in stem and leaf elongation, leading to a more compact plant architecture. Higher UV-B intensities, like 7.5 kJ·m−2, can lead to reduced elongation. So it becomes a dance of initiating a stretch to seek to higher ppfd, then whenever you want the stretching to slow down,UVB inhibits the stretch by altering hormone balance,, coupled with the high-intensity dli once you get her to a height where you want. Being autos I don't have much time to play around. So we are playing fast and loose, get stretched, and then spread her open. You get the idea. 86F 30% RH with the lower side of optimal on ppfd, with a smudgering of infra-red to initiate response of making her stretch more so than normal. Once she sprouts up in height, I drop metrics to 77F 55%RH% while upping the ppfd, giving her a dash of extra 430nm, giving the grow more of a 6000K. This encourages denser growth with less elongation. Higher side of optimal PPFD, with the auxin hormone balance changed, the side stems are starting to shoot up to the same canopy level as the apex (almost). Normally takes me 2 untrained toppings before a plant will flatten its canopy. I didn't take enough off the apex to do it in one chop, it was only day 10, so there really wasn't much to top from without creating unpredictable results using fim, opted just to keep it to a clean topping. Even predictability over the Chaos of the"Fim". Brainfart: Remember, the veg stage creates the skeleton that will stretch out into flowers. How dense you create the skeleton through light intensity will determine the density of your clusters as they form cola, as long as you can keep up with the demands. Increasing light intensity generally leads to plants having shorter internodal spacing, meaning the distance between nodes (where leaves grow) on a stem is reduced. This effect is particularly noticeable under LED grow lights, with great stress comes great dense clusters. Hello, temperature, my old friend! Goodbye, money on AC. What did the flower decide to study in college? STEM.

About 3 week into flower packing in tons of frost it amazing smooth sailing can wait to see this finished product

From day 28 to 35 it slowed down a lot on gaining height, going from 24in to 26. It went from a little bit of signs of flowering to boom out of no where a lot more. I started bloom boost for the first time on morning of day 34, day 35 today I realized the bottle I bought says Orchid bloom boost 😂 🤦‍♀️🏼 🤷‍♀️🏼 I have to look for something else probably 😂 It’s fun to watch it change. I sprayed for the fungus knats twice now, just the soil. I recently noticed a lot of shadows as well, so we bought a bigger light and changed our system around a little. I figure if it’s flowering then more light can’t hurt? This is my first grow, although I am familiar with regular plants this Auto flower is all new to me! Any tips and suggestions are welcome! I did not top it or LST it, it seems to be doing so good I wish I would have 🤷‍♀️🏼 Not sure if I should tie it off now? The top is getting heavy anyway and if I could lean it a little the light would get in there more? The smell is amazing! Super excited to see what happens when it’s all done 🤩 Thanks for reading & any info or opinions are welcome lol

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

Ci siamo guasi..

Week 10 and week 4 of flower, looking frosty ❄️.

Final week. The smell is like candy and flowers combined very impre

one of the fastest auto on the whole planet. this baby already started forming big buds in week 5.. that’s crazy

Just flushing now, waiting to chop

25/12/18 Week 5 Flower Merry Xmas! All 4 plants are doing well, growth seems to have slowed down so I think the next few weeks are just packing on weight and then ripening. Gonna give them all some pk 13/14 on Friday - had a small problem with fungus gnats in my bathroom which eventually led them into my grow tent. Been waiting extra long between waterings to minimize the chance of them spreading - I know they love wet, mouldy coco. Got some peroxide just incase they become a problem any way. Looking to chop 15th-22nd Jan, depending on how the trichomes are looking. Lots of users commenting on how much weight GZ packs on, really hoping to get some nice dense golf-balls. My previous grow, which was two plants yielded just under 1.5oz, would really love to see a yield around 2.5oz with my current 4 plant set-up. Merry Christmas - more updates in the new year!

📆 Week 3, 20-26 May 2024 20 May - Increased light power to 60%. 21 May - Cut first 2 true branches off. 22-26 May - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 I’ll always cut the the first true branches off any plant I grow. In my experience they just don’t keep up with the plants growth rate in general and only take away from it's overall potential. This plant seems to be very healthy and growing as expected, strong and fast. 🍶 20 May nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 20 May feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 1.7 at 72 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 60%, DLI 25 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Alrighty, Guys I'm coming to some new realizations lol. Plants are doing way better with new root growth coming from the net pot sides horizontally. I was confused because it seems that a bit of the roots had died or rotted for no real reason. I have suspected the amino treatment and root accelerator was gunking them up. Needless to say, I am almost out and decided to exclude those additives and see what happens. I also ran out of Multi zen and decided to up the base nutrients to compensate. It would be great to get opinions on it all, The prices are so steep and honestly, I practically had the whole line up and it didn't really impress at all. Strangely I have some dc buckets in the center and they are doing really well on just micro, bloom, and cal-mag so save me from making some baizes haha. I noticed that the growth is a bit spread out but they are all from seed so I guess that expected. the bushiest of plants has some discoloration on the leaves but it seems to be killing it so I'm not too worried. At this point, I'd love to get any harsh criticism or to narrow down where I am making these mistakes. I came in expecting to flip from veg in 4 weeks but that doesn't seem possible from seed. I know a lot can be a strain but I still feel like even though I have all these controls I'm missing something. Oh everyone got topped for the first time and aside from some interesting patterns its all gravy baby. Let me know if I need to do something about that missing 400 ml of multizen haha.

Day 57: not much to say but she’s very healthy at this point and producing buds everywhere. All good, getting closer to harvest each day!🌱 Day 59: she has started to smell really nice! Everything is going fine but I’m having some humid troubles again… Day 61: I just installed the second net and did a light lollipop and trim!

Hi growmies well found, today the vadi are still full of water so no watering pheno 2 mimosa is demonstrating her hulk genes too bad pheno 1 can't do the same too much stress for her two feline attacks were too much even runtz suffered only one but in a too premature phase by the way yesterday while I was trying to make it open a little I patched it the plant shows that it is not elastic perhaps a little silica would do me good but I will use it in the next stressful event in another race I implemented on Monday when I watered green sensetion and sugar royal for the two mimosas that the small runtz and the zenzation are now flowering which is doing well even if in two weeks back it reacts well to the lst I hope it can reach large sizes in the next week and then start flowering when it wants for runtz and zenzation the usual mix remained, calmag 4mlxlt, rizotonic 40mlx10lt and whiteshark 2 spoon x 36lt ph 6.2/6.3 added the scrog net in which the mimosa is having a lot of fun I'm very sorry about how the other plants have suffered from stress, the feline demon has been banished from the room where the girls sleep but I won't give up, I'll bring the result home in mid-December, we'll see what nature and my ability are able to do have a good week and cultivation everyone thanks for the comments and likes never stop growing👍🏼✅

I'm happy to see how it has changed since I broke it with my crooked arm :D but now it looks very good :)

Happy what I see so far, I know patience is the key. All my babies looking Beautiful!!! 😭😊😭 7/14 Growing Strong 💪🏽

I’ll update once dry0

Update of project Sea green 💚

the first week in the greenhouse is over and i think it has recovered well. still quite small but i think it will start to grow well in a few weeks. let's see. hope dies last
