this plant got so stressed out. shes had a wonky light schedule alot of her life. i had just gotten her used to the indoor light schedule and i increased the light intensity. when doing so, it reset the timer on the app. i still prefer mechanical lol. anyways she them got blasted for like 20 hours and then i changed fhe light schedule so her lights on is at night, which then again stretched her schedule weird. i did happen to take a nice cutting though. 7/20 yesterday i noticed a few smaller bugs in fhe top soil. Then today, a damn wolf spider crawled out of the flower pot. I didnt end up killing them because theyre probs there for the other bugs ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Sunday, 27-02-2022 Fungicidal treatment with potassium bicarbonate on 20-02-2022 resulted in significant leaf burn on plants after foliar spray of 8.9 ml/liter potassium bicarbonate with unmeasured amount of Breakthru sticker spreader. I had dusted the plants and pots with insecticidal powder the night before and there seemed to be no ill effects. Rain fell that same night and the leaves were splashed with dirt from the pots so I decided to "rinse" them off with a fungicidal spray of potassium bicarbonate. At the time I was confident this would have no ill effects but now I am wondering if I just didn't remember previous phytotoxic effects caused by this spray. I am also thinking that because I didn't measure the amount of sticker spreader, I may have overdosed the mix and that caused some of the burning by literally breaking through any protective covering on the leaves and possibly penetrating the plant cells. As I sprayed the leaves water soaked spots immediately appeared and within a few hours there was obvious curling and burn, particularly on spots that had small clumps of insecticidal powder. Throughout this past week the visual symptoms of phytotoxicity progressed so much that by the middle of the week I settled my mind that this grow would be terminated this weekend. On Friday night when I came home and saw the plants in the dark I was more hopeful and in the light of day on Saturday morning I was quite pleased with their recovery. Lots of the oldest fan leaves were almost completely brown and yellow with light green veins and some newer leaver have been deformed. Thankfully there is little visual damage to most of the newest growth and after removing the worst of the damaged leaves I am remain hopeful for this grow. Continuing my theme of living in the moment of the grow, I am choosing to think of this incident two ways. First as a "trial by fire" for the plants that only the strongest leaves survived and second as chemical pruning of leaves that I would have removed anyway, just not quite yet. I will be seeking thoughts on the forum as to whether these plants still have hope or if unseen damage has been done that will eventually ruin them. Regardless, I will progress with this grow as long as possible to see for myself what the actual long term effects are. I have also noted what seem to be big hairy balls growing on plant #2 and have asked the forum their opinion. In keeping with my plan to quadline these plants I have clipped the last untopped plant and removed nodes 1 and 2 of all plants. After doing these procedures the plants really just look like heavily defoliated specimens waiting for further training, I am pleased. Despite the phytotoxicity, there was enough growth of the 4 new stems of plants 3-5 that I was able to tie them down. I am waiting for confirmation that #2 is a male to cull it, if not I will tie it down as well. Only fed yesterday because I was watching to see how the plants would do over the week. Wednesday, 02-03-2022 Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘Š! Fed and foliar sprayed with 12 ml/gal CAB and 7.5 ml/gal Cytokin. Used 9ml Ph down in 5 gallon tap water. Ph using ph paper ๐Ÿ˜ž was approximately 5.0 so I added unph'd 500 ml tapwater to my jug and added the 5.0 water to complete the gallon. Ph was approximately 6.

Chemical reactions in which, a single substance splits up into two or more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. These reactions are carried out by energy, supplied by different sources. The required energy can be supplied by heat (thermolysis), electricity (electrolysis), or light (photolysis). Letโ€™s talk about photolysis reactions (not photosynthesis): Photolysis (also called photodissociation and photodecomposition) is a chemical reaction, in which a chemical (an inorganic or an organic) is broken down by photons and is the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule. The photolysis reaction is not limited to the effects of visible light, but any photon with sufficient energy (higher than the dissociation energy of the targeted bond) can cause the chemical transformation of the said (inorganic or organic) bond(s) of a chemical. Since the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength, electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and ฮณ -rays, can also initiate photolysis reactions. Like all other peroxides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also consists of a relatively weaker Oโˆ’O bond, which is susceptible to light or heat. The net equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2โŸถ2H2O+O2 The step-wise reaction mechanism is suggested as follows (Ref.1): H2O2+hฮฝโŸถ2HOโˆ™ HOโˆ™+H2O2โŸถHOโˆ’Oโˆ™+H2O HOโˆ’Oโˆ™+H2O2โŸถ2HOโˆ™+H2O+O2 Using isotope studies it was confirmed that the O2 formed is cleanly derived from H2O2 (Ref.2). Notes: The rate increases rapidly in the presence of catalysts such as MnO2 and KI (Ref.2). The rate of decomposition is slow at room temperature, but it increases with temperature. It is believed to be due to thermal decomposition of H2O2, which seemingly accelerates the photolysis (Ref.3). References: 1.J. P. Hunt, H. Taube, โ€œThe Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Quantum Yields, Tracer and Fractionation Effects,โ€ J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(23), 5999โ€“6002 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01143a052). 2.A. E. Cahill, H. Taube, โ€œThe Use of Heavy Oxygen in the Study of Reactions of Hydrogen Peroxide,โ€ J. Am. Chem.

Chem. 1927, 31(10), 1507โ€“1510 (https://doi.org/10.1021/j150280a004). Interestingly, as early as 1934 Haber and Weiss (Ref. 1) proposed that HO2โˆ™ is formed in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The subsequent reaction of the transient superoxide radical anion with hydrogen peroxide has been determined to also form the hydroxyl radical (Ref. 2). The higher pH version of the last reaction is, therefore, best represented as: O2โˆ™โˆ’+H2O2โŸถ2HOโˆ™+OHโˆ’+O2 And as H++OHโˆ’=H2O, the net product formation is not altered. However, alkaline H2O2 is well known to be less stable than acidic hydrogen peroxide (Ref.3) even in absence of light exposure, which accelerates its decomposition (which can involve radical pathways) liberating oxygen!

Flowers are on! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Flowers are clearly visible now, with one of the plants already showing a strong purple colour โ€” very curious to see how this develops! ๐Ÿ’œ However, the top-right plant is looking a bit limey, so Iโ€™ve ramped up the nutrients while keeping an eye on the runoff. Itโ€™s also showing tiny spots of calcium deficiency, so I suspect it might be a root issue. These deficiencies are minor, though โ€” overall, the plants are still going strong. Probably the most impressive autos Iโ€™ve run so far! ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒฑ Stats so far: ๐Ÿ’ง Watering: 1.5L every other day ๐Ÿ’ฆ Humidity: ~65% RH ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temp (lights on): 22โ€“26ยฐC ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temp (lights off): 20โ€“22ยฐC ๐Ÿ“ˆ Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.2 kPa

Stretching is still going. Buds development is great and i have no issue what so ever so far. Just the leafs hang a bit due to less watering but that changed.

Flowering Day 9 Since time chance To 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) She grows great and is doing well in the flowering tent :-) . Today everything below was cleaned and defoliated :-) . A lot was removed because this time it was quite cramped in the tent and you don't lose your energy in the lowest shoots :-) . This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l each. Everything was checked and it looks like all trips are slowly but surely gone :-) have fun and stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Hey everyone! Week 7 is here (2nd of flower) and here's what happened this week! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ - Both of my girls look very different from each other. Many things could've lead to this! - The one that's on the "front" is developing faster, her leaves are darker in color and they look long and thinner (more Sativa in her DNA?). Besides that? Not so much besides this was a very, veeeery hot week compared to previous ones and that one of my girl is no longer showing Magnesium deficiency, which is amazing! I'm really impressed how things are going so next week I'll start adding some extra PK and see how things develop. I want some biiiiig buds! ๐Ÿ˜ Anyway, that's all for now. See you all next week and enjoy the photos and videos!
