A good first week overall. Couldn't be with them all the time so there was a day they got too much humidity. Some of the girls droopped because of this. A couple may not recover. But we'll see.

My new babies from Divine Seeds have arrived. 🙏😇 I gave them a cozy new home. Looking forward to seeing their little heads poke out. 😊 Boobies for scale. 😋 Origin:Afghanistan / Colombia / Canada Type:Indica/ Sativa/ Ruderalis Flowering:60-63 days THC:25% Harvest:800-1000 g/m2 Height:130-165 cm Black Opium Day-Neutral is, generally speaking, a violet version of Opium. Its beauteous coloring comes from crossing Opium with a rare population of Colombian Sativa, both purple-colored and rich in THC. After numerous selection cycles, the result was stabilized to be now presented as Black Opium Auto-Feminized – a tremendously potent Indica with shocking resin production rate and delicious berry aroma. At present, this strain belongs to top most exotic Indica varieties in the world! A perfect choice for professional growers, while beginners can recklessly enjoy handling these non-demanding vivid plants. Just as its older brother strain, Black Opium fits well for indoor growing as well as outdoor plantations, it has also shown amazingly rich productivity in green houses. With massive resin production and, consequently, aggressive stench, Black Opium marijuana can ward off most insect plants. Appropriate training methods are restricted to non-stress techniques such as LST or ScroG, which allow to multiply your yield almost by 1.5x sometimes. Dense colas, colorful and glistening with crystals are a rich source of extra-potent hasheesh with glamorous berry-like flavor. Those seeking for extra-potent cannabis should definitely give Auto Black Opium a try! Traditionally such mighty Indica is regarded for solo-use, noticeably restricting users in communication and motion when taken in average portions. The impact of Black Opium smoke creates an immobilizing stone effect for 3 hours, often accompanied with psychological revelations, insight thinking and daydreaming with the feeling of quiet bliss in the background. A highly efficient painkiller and anti-spasmatic agent, eliminates nausea or stress, stimulates appetite and helps forget any trouble. More appropriate for night use.

Another good week generally speaking. The girls are drinking a lot but nothing crazy. Things are wrapping up here in this tent shortly. This girl is hanging in there. I know she needed nutrients but didn't get much. I hope she does well as she finishes up. Not much longer! Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

These ladies have started their final stretch. Pink kush will be the first one I harvest, I’m just waiting for her to put out a few amber trichomes and so far she has none maybe within the coming week. Canna-cheese has maybe 2 weeks left. She has the nicest fade I’ve seen so far out of the plants I’ve grown, but she for sure needs to get fatter. Strawberry Skywalker is short but thick, she’s barely starting to fade so I thunk maybe in 3 weeks she’ll be done, still no amber trichs and I’m sure she will get much fatter. Alien berries has surprised me. She was the runt and although a slim plant in veg, she’s putting out some fat knuckles, maybe in 3-4 weeks she’ll be done. Over all good conditions except for a couple spikes in heat a few days. Still no intense smell either.

The Bubble OG plants are looking awesome! My tallest one is stacking up with super dense buds. It's crazy to think that the other one is almost ready to chop – the colors are so vibrant. And then there's that short and squat one with the purple leaves. It's definitely the oddball of the bunch, but I kind of like it. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Eccoci ragazzi! Ultimo giorno Dell anno e anche ultimo giorno di vegetativa! Da stasera precisa si cambiano ore di luce e la porto in fioritura, nonostante la sorella è molto più piccola, nn posso aspettare oltre altriementi questa mi diventa troppo alta e grande e avrò problemi.. Quindi come potete vedere da voi, la ragazza sta davvero in ottima salute! Nessun segno di carenza, un verde intenso che è segno di benessere, e radici davvero enormi e giganti! I nodi del fusto sono grossi e spessi quidni penso proprio che nn dovrò mettere alcun sostegno alle cime, sono convinto che questa sarà una delle mie migliori piante idroponiche mai cresciute, è il mio secondo ciclo hydro e sto mettendo a frutto le conoscenze apprese dalla prima esperienza, dalla quale ho tirato fuori un erba spettacolare, ma le cime erano piccole e le piante erano troppo alte, speriamo questa volta che nn accada lo stesso con questa! Questa genetica unita ai nutrienti Terra Aquatica, ha fatto in modo che la pianta avesse un vigore eccezionale! Ma visto una pianta crescere così rapidamente, in suolo o in altro modo, l idroponica se fatta bene con i prodotti giusti ti da risultati impressionanti, basta che alla fine si fa un bel lavaggio delle radici con i prodotti giusti e acqua pura, e vedrete che avrete Dell erba spettacolare! Sono orgoglioso davvero di star avendo un risultato così spettacolare, mentre l altra volta ho avuto problemi di carenza di Cal/mag questa volta glielo ho dato fin dalle prime soluzioni nutritive, quidni verde intenso e foglie spesse, già ora fa odore nonostante nn ci siano fiori! Cmq sono davvero orgoglioso di far parte di questa famiglia spettacolare che è questo social! Mi sta dando le soddisfazioni poi grandi di tutta la mia vita! Grazie sopratutto a tutti voi che mi seguite e mi sostenete, xke senza di voi nn sarei nulla! Un buono anno a tutti e vi auguro un 2026 pieno di soddisfazioni e successi! L entropia Dell esistenza cosciente umana può solo aumentare! Speriamo. Che succeda anche nel mio paese dove non questa mia passione è illegale.. Speriamo bene per il. Prossimo anno venturo.. Un buono 420 a tutti 💪😸🌱🌿🎄🤞🍀🤤😽💨❄️🎉❤️❤️❤️

Week started off well. Day 50 and no major hiccups. Lets get to that finish line soon! Day 51 - Everyone is healthy and great. CDLC is really putting on the weight now. All five of them are stellar. MB #1 stopped stretching and her nugs are starting to swell. She is one fast lady. The other Miracle Berry Remix looks like it will stretch some more and so does the Mango Smile. Strawberry and CDLC have a ways to go but they are blowing up. I am feeding everyone every day at least 2 liters of the above mixture. Depending on coloration (light green to dark green) I will change the nitrogen content. These things are eating phosphorous up like candy. I have experienced NO nutrition burn. All of my issues thus far have been underfeeding due to PH issues. I have a theory that I want to feed them as much as possible regardless of feed schedule and fear of nutrition burn. Ensuring a healthy root system with proper PH and monitoring Potassium in your watering should give the best results. I am finding that the only nutrient that cause the physical representation of nutrition burn (burned tips) is too much Potassium. I think I stated it before but Nitrogen toxicity doesn't burn tips and Phosphorous is really difficult to overdose your plant with. Pinpointing this is extremely important I feel. Are there any other growers who find this to be true? Day 53 - Everyone is great. Notable things from today...Mango Smile is sad cuz I gave her a hair cut and Strawberry Nuggets revealed a massive nitrogen deficiency after I gave her a hair cut. I switched to bloom nutrients too early on her. Upped her nitrogen PPM for today's feeding and hoping I didn't stunt her too badly. Lot's of node sites though. Day 54 - Mango Smile was just being a diva. Today her entire canopy was an inch higher...and she shows no signs of swelling yet. She's gonna end up going over 90 days for sure. My Maxigrow got moisture in it...so it went bad. I went out and bought some NPK Raw Grow for my Strawberry Nuggets. She is so hungry I feel bad. She is the only one I fed today. Everyone else was fine. Pistils on MB#1 are turning orange/brown. She might be ready at day 70. MB#2 will be right behind her. They are quite fast for being so big. CDLC is looking great. Didn't take a photo today but she is getting frosty and her flower stretch is on. Humidity is a little high in tent since I added additional pots with soil in them. I turned up my light to around 80% and the humidity tanked. Temperature went up to about 81F. I think we can manage that. I'm not seeing any signs of heat stress or fox tailing. My lights are powered by two HLG-600H drivers. Theoretically, I have 1200 Watts in the tent. Just to clarify since the journal won't let me specify my wattage for the QB96s. They can go up to 250 Watts each with active cooling. Day 55 - Moved everyone in the tent around to increase airflow. Trying to keep everyone off the walls but Miracle Berry Remix 1 is taking over the tent. Probably going to have to supercrop soon. Miracle Berry 1 smells deeply of berries. No gas or funk smell. Smells like a blue raspberry slurpee.

I did a lot of defoliation work this week. Plants look very naked now. 😻 But more light for the buds 😛 = Less leaves = less water (-25%) The plants don't make many few new flowers anymore. Half of the plants have nice fat buds, swelling and getting hard. 💪 Pistils turn brown. The other half is much slower ripening. Some have foxtail buds and will need more time to ripen. 👻 Some plants are very small and will have low yield. 😏 One plant (#15) is extremely fat 😝

Week 6 of flowering, everything going well, very strong smell, all buds are very sticky & frosty 😃. #5 growing big dense solid buds about 5inches long & 5inches in girth & solid as a rock, very, very sticky. #A1 is starting to 🦊 tail a bit. Lower leaves turning a purple colour on some plants. Trichomes are still clear

.

Reduced ph to 6.8. Increased humidity to around 50%. Lights set at 50% pwr. Currently 18hrs on.

Harvest day 62 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time 💚 The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 16-18 degrees and 55-59% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant 💚. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. . The smell is great I'm curious about the taste 💚 Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ‘Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients 👇🏼 http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Starting off strong this week 💪😎 the left plant is looking so good and also the buds on the left plant are so nice and big 😋 the right plant is showing yellowing but that is fine because she will be turned into bubblehash anyways 😏 happy growing all!😎💚✌️

Day 1 starts today! We have out bucket head out and starting to go! I'll give it a day or so before I decide if I need to intervene on the shell casing. In the mean time welcome to the grow show! Cheers til next time DJ sunstone

Chopping these little ladies was pretty simple because of their size but trimming was a sticky mess I had to clean my shears after every buds because of the amount of resin. I will be growing this strain again with an actual veg so I can see how great it really is and I definitely recommend you try it as well

Hey everyone! It’s been another fabulous week of the girls fattening up getting ready for the ever looming harvest time! The colas are huge and glistening like a glitter ball! The back right girl has been on flush since day 51, 2 more went on flush on day 53, and the final girl front right went on flush today, day 56! Over the week I gave 3 girls a really heavy defoliation taking the majority of fan leaves off to allow good airflow and try fattening up those lower buds. It’s still impossible to tell if I prefer defoliation or not but we are getting close to harvest so should have a definitive answer to that soon! The back right girl has had absolutely no defoliation or trimming through her life cycle. I still regularly think back to when we broke one of the girls and transplanted, the cannabis gods were on our side warning us 4 girls will be huge, we were very lucky or would be seriously short of space as of now. As the girls are going to be harvested at slightly different times to ensure each are at their optimum, I have had to construct a dry box. How I built my smell free DIY dry box: Take a large cardboard box, cut an extraction hole in the top at one end and mount some ducting and seal the gap around the edge. Cut a flap in the opposite end at the bottom which will be the passive intake and promoting a draft through the hanging buds. Poke some holes in each end of the box using a screwdriver and thread some thin rope or string through the box tying the ends together once finished to give you sturdy locations to hang some pegs from. Finally I attached an extra bit of card on one of the flaps at the top; this overlaps the slight gap in the top between the flaps that could allow light to enter. Once completed I put the ducting into one of the lower intakes of the tent; the negative pressure in the tent then uses the air in the dry box as a passive intake creating a smell free area to dry your cannabis outside of your grow tent. This also keeps a slight breeze flowing through the box to ensure even drying. Happy toking guys and hope you enjoy the pics and vids, thought it was getting hard to tell how big these girls were in pics anymore so the vids help a lot, and I was lazy this week! :P

My homework. 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.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. 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 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.

Today was the day, unfortunately about a week in advance because of an infestation of Mites that reached the buds of all 4 plants left. After reasoning, interrogating AI and watching a video, I had to harvest in advance and I decided to do a washing with H2O2 as per this video explanation of Jorge Cervantes, available at this link (https://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs?si=eC6klOXkWz9eBJO3). I am providing photos and video also of this step I made.
