We are hitting week 4 now! Plant looks strong, has a nice green look overall and she seems to like her new home! I give her every 4 days ph regulated water. 1liter from the bottom, about 1,5l from above. I will give the plant another week unter the trellis to make sure the side branches catch up. Week 4 was pretty straightforward, holding the branches under the trellis and cutting some fan leafs that giving shadow to the lower branches. At end of week 4 there are first signs of flowering and she gets thirstier over the week. Giving her about 1L from bottom and 1,5L from above every two days at the moment. At first sign of flowering I have turned the led to 100% (100W) I’m really happy with my first try in coco, the plant looks healthy with a nice green color overall. I’m using ph regulated water between 6-6,3 with biobizz nutrients.

What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

Overall very happy with the grow. Got 24oz of very dense nugs! I also managed to get 2oz of less dense but still pretty bag-appeal, and a shit ton of trim which I made into tidy ass brownies, which have made typing this incredibly difficult😂! Both of these strains are definitely bed time strains. The Critical kush is has the usual overwhelming kush taste, however the peyote(purple nugs) have a very sweet / flowery taste and smell. Disappointed I only done 1 peyote but more than happy with the critical. Would definitely grow both these strains again!

Greeeeeat week! Dynomyco has truly helped this Girly to get off to an amazing start and gave her the force to gain thick stems and more branches! It could also be the addition of Co2 in the grow area! I also give her a diluted foliar feed of formulex as she goes through the day as I have a very low humidity for that week but I can bring it up now as I don’t need it so low in my home! (Was drying other plants)

Day 141 of life and 56 of flower. This girl had hard times and i think to make it even harder. From now on i will raise my ph to 7.0 for rest of her life. Hope to keep her for two more weeks and stab her on the last day before 3 night sleep and chop later. She has a bit amber, hope i still have time , i keep an eye on her every day. Thats all plans left, want to split stemp and put wood stick in that wound. I know it would be smarter to make with next diary and compare with unmade, but ... I want to try this out , first date will be short, later i will increase time to a week before chop if it works like i think and many people tell.. Happy growing ! Day 142. All is good ! Day 145. Girl is fine, green fading slowly. But .. She is skunk, she stinks like skunk, while smoke you feel it a lot plus a small aftertaste, maybe its strawberries, but cant tell for now. Anyway - i like her, just her real genetic name is a mystery a bit ;) While she was flowering, on week 3 you could smell strawberries, but now i am lost in that taste ... Bag seed, you never know what it will be ... Watered today still with 6.5, thinking to give her last two waterings and chop her next thursday or so ...

22.03.21 So die blüte ist eingeleitet die nächsten 14 Tage is wegstecken unterm netz für Triebe und Blätter angesagt.... 23.03.21 und wieder ein Tag hinter uns immer meine Ungeduld kann es kaum noch erwarten das was passiert..... 24.03.21 hab heute gegossen 4L wasser mit zyme, sugar royal und bloom hab den bloom dünger jetzt auf ein Viertel seiner maximal dosis laufen also auf 1ml/L anstatt 4ml/L werde ihn nach und nach steigern nicht das ich noch Nährstoff Überschuss im Topf bekomme ich Weiss ja nix über diese Genetik ausser den Infos von Growers choice im inet und aufm peipack zettel der Saat. Ach ja und was hab ich heut noch so gemacht biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe ähm und biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe und ähm biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe. Ich bekomm bestimmt Alpträume von riesen Cannabis jungeln an denen ich endlos biege und binde..... 25.03.21 biegen und binden........ Endloses spiel....ach ja und vita race sprühen war heut auch dran 26.03.21 biegen und binden...... Wachstum is rasant angezogen ich würde fast sagen der stretch is voll in gange.... 27.03.21 biegen und binden mein täglich Brot..... 28.03.21 der letzte Tag der ersten Woche 12/12 is auf biegen und binden und hier und da mal ein Blatt weg schneiden was zu viel war ist nichts weiter passiert. Das netzt füllt sich bin zufrieden soweit was das Ergebnis betrifft für die erste Woche....

Surprise Surprise 🎁. She's turning purple

No co budu psát,už se mě zbíhají sliny. ?😁 Zálivka ,už jen voda ,ale jantar zatím stále není vidět ?a nebo už špatný oči 😂uvidíme myslím, že snad do týdne bude hotovo. Čtvrtek zalito o5 jen voda a trošku sem jim ubral na listech.

🏿‍♂️🔇

In this week, same method as week 1 still no nutrients just balance ph water (6.2-6.8), temperature still 22-24C and humidity 50-70% but im having some issues with my humidifier it exceeds my desire humidity level that should be 60%, it goes up to 80-85% but nonetheless everything is doing fine.

This week she has grown so tall. I am so regretful for not scrog’in her or done any low stress training. Although I do have a nice size tent with the grow light on adjustable rope so it’s not that much of a problem. Although when I flip her to 12/12 into flower I know she’s gonna stretch even more. The size of her leafs are impressive. I read that your not meant to use biobizz grow and fish mix at the same time but I went against it and she’s showing no signs of stress or nutrition problems. I even have an 11 fingered leaf now!! She is beginning to smell very nice too, so all good so far. Can’t wait till she packs on some bud now.

Wachsen und reifen ganz gut, überlege bereits eine zu cutten aber denke warte noch ne Woche oder so Good Things Take time ;) Ansonsten Terps sind jut

Day 71 – Weathering the Storms, Rooted in Resilience. This past week was a true test of strength. My lady was caught in a full-on storm – strong winds, pouring rain, and yes… she even tipped over. But like a true warrior, she bounced right back once I repositioned her in a more stable spot. Despite the harsh gusts, she remained under open skies, unfazed and proud. Now standing firm at 80cm, she continues to push into flowering with grace. The Plagron Bat Guano applied 10 days ago clearly kicked things into motion, as the buds are swelling up nicely. Seeing that, I didn’t hesitate to apply another round of top-dress today – just enough to maintain steady phosphorus levels and support those forming colas without overfeeding. My approach hasn’t changed: a low-effort, fully organic outdoor grow that relies on nature as the main partner. Pure, pH-balanced tap water (oxygenated, of course) and a living super soil continue to do the heavy lifting. No tents, no fancy equipment, no synthetic nutrients – just soil, sun, and patience. This FastBuds CBD strain continues to impress not just with structure and health, but with its incredible resilience. Even after tipping and being battered by the elements, she’s standing tall and happy. Every day closer to harvest makes this journey more rewarding – and I can’t wait to craft some beautiful CBD oil from this natural survivor 🌿💚

..somit geht die 4 Blütewoche zuende. Langsam wirds frostig ?

I’m not 100% done collecting all the data. By the smell of it, this plant will be one of the dankest plants I’ve ever grown. More to come. Tuesday, September 5 I have the nugs in jars right now. Hopefully I didn’t let it dry too much. Right now the humidity is at around 52% but I think if I move the jar around a bit I can them to sweat a bit more.

Wow, did she stretch out this week. She nearly doubled in size and still looks like she has plenty more to go. No bud sites yes, but I expect to see little white hairs any day now. Still giving Recharge only - she loves it! 👍

Ok so i'm pretty sure i'm screwed......these plants are now going to be over the fence but it is what it is, had some help measuring the plants this time so the tape did fold and i know that it got to the base of the stalk as it's really hard to do by yourself with plants of this size: PP #1-74 inches #2-80.5 inches #3-82 inches OS #1-78 inches #2-75 inches #3-70 inches So i believe i'm running into a MG deficiency with these girls as well, i'll fill out the grow question for one lucky person to get some point for GOTM. Still waiting on my bag of gaia green 4-4-4, but i did give them some Basalt rock dust 1 cup and some Glacial rock dust 2 cups to try in help what i believe to be an MG deficiency. I didn't have enought to give them what i wanted to so i'll have to wait for that to come in as well or just pick up some rock dust on my way home from Halifax Seed. I under estimated fertilizers for this grow wasn't expecting them to get this big...... Woke up the other morning to a little bit of wind come from the west and the tops were doing some swaying so i had to run into town to the grow shop and pick up some trellis to secure the tops that arn't in the cage. I figured the best was to trellis them as i could only get two 5x30 nets what to just run one each over the tops and secure to the fence. I did work on cleaning some of the inside out but theres just so much it's hard to get everything done in two week with real life going on as well. So i've set up an automated curing system for when these ladies are done. I'll have an air pump hooked up to a timer, then the pump will run into a 12 valve manifold, there will be 12 bucket. each valve will have it's own bucket. each bucket has a one way check valve going into the bottom of the bucket into a perforated hose that will cure around the bottom of the bucket. so the fresh air will rise up thru the bucket. at the top of the bucket will be an outlet with a one way check valve. the buckets have Gama seal lids that screw on with gaskets so it gives you an air tight seal. So having the timer set to twice a day for the first two weeks then adjust to once a day everyday for a few more weeks everything should be on cruse control, no more burping jars if everything works like it's supposed to!

2024-09-07 This was a very effective Week, it started with Rain an Wind then it turned over to very hot and sunny exactly what we need here. The Outdoor tangie still looks super fresh and green, only minor signs of getting ready the colas are very glitery and you see alot of potential already super frostyhere. the revegetating Plant looks fine too. she produces some flowers.too.

420 Fastbuds FBT2306 Week 7 What up Grow fam. Week 7 update on these amazing plants. Looking nice would be an understatement for these two. The flower sites are a thing of mesmerizing beauty when gazing upon them. You'll see shades of purple, pink, and white. Definitely a sweet smell to them. Still feeding nutes every 3rd water with water and calmag in between. Over all been easy Growing with no special treatments needed. Happy Growing
