The main purpose of chlorophyll is to capture photons of energy. When growth is no longer a priority for a plant in nature, it will naturally sink its "no longer needed" nitrogen and switch pigments to carotene and anthocyanin, which are better-suited pigments for environmental protection rather than capturing photons (growth). This is because of all nutrients used by a plant, nitrogen in its nitrate form is highly stable and required for the rigours of electron capture, ammoniacal nitrogen readily evaporates into the air during cure/dry. The ripening stage is no longer about growth, but the main priority is protecting trichomes and opening up the oxidative capacity of the plant so it can focus 100% of filling those trichomes. Nitrogen in its elemental nitrate form is no longer required during ripening to the same degree as it was; the vast majority of growth is over. Understanding when to shift a plant's focus from rapid growth to maturation is the key to maximizing the trichome quality and terpene profile of the final product. That is the single most important decision you will make during a grow in terms of dictating smoothness, taste, and smell, I have found from my limited years of dedicated and driven study into the matter. Synthetic nutrients maintain a near full nitrate ratio comparable to ammoniacal nitrogen, whereas organic nutrients maintain a supply of ammoniacal and convert only to nitrate what is needed. This is far more beneficial for organic growers when it comes to smoke smoothness, as the higher levels of ammoniacal nitrogen are far easier to dispose/convert than nitrates come harvest, cure/dry with far more efficient margins held within leaf/bud when it comes to conversion to aminos. A good dry and cure can go a long way to a quality smooth smoke, but without a proper senescence sequence or triggered autophagic sink of nitrogen, then you will be asking far more than can be expected from a dry/cure. It's one thing to sink the last 5-10% and convert the last drips to amino acids during the dry and cure, but leaving the plant fully charged with nitrogen in the form of nitrate is simply not going to taste good, no matter how much smoke you blow up your own ass or how long you have been growing. Means nothing. Smoke quality relies on pre-harvest physiology, not just the dry and cure! The dry and cure cannot fix poor pre-harvest metabolic states. A high-quality, smooth smoke requires correct signalling before harvest. While a proper dry and cure can gently soften the edges and convert the last 5-10% of sugars into amino acids, it fundamentally cannot perform magic on a fully fertilised plant. You cannot oxidise stable nitrates (+5 charge) into a smoother state during drying. Ultimately, accept it's going to be a heavy smoke and be grateful, onwards upwards! The way in which ammoniacal nitrogen reacts to carbon sugars is critical in how it acts during oxidation and is responsible for oxidizing leftover sugars that can make the buds smoke harshly. Limited ammoniacal equals limited oxidation of excess carbons held within tissues. Just so you know, it's not an anecdotal rule that's unresolved and unsubstantiated. It's called the Maillard reaction. Signal triggers and stressors. Normally, you can only use 10-30% ammoniacal nitrogen, but as harvest closes, it is beneficial to increase this ratio 50% of ammoniacal as it assists in steering the plant towards maturation. Rather than running 50% ammoniacal nitrogen continuously until harvest, use it in short, targeted flushes/additions (e.g., 7 days) to slow internode elongation and hasten maturity. Use alongside forced larger "dry backs" (allowing the root zone to dry out significantly between watering events). Raising the Electrical Conductivity EC of the medium to create mild osmotic stress. Widening the day-to-night temperature difference and increasing the vapour pressure deficit VPD. How would you like your cola's sir? Arm length, please, no gaps with trichomes as thick as snow.

These girls are growing amazing. I did some defoliation and lollipopped them this week. Hopefully with more air flow at the canopy level and lollipopping, the tops and main colas can focus all the energy on growing some beautiful flowers. All in all Happy

Eccoci qui... Questa varietà mi lascia a bocca aperta è gigante!!! Sono rimasto molto colpito da come pur avendola messa giù da seme sia avanti in fioritura come i cloni con 53 giorni alle spalle!!!!! Sono curioso di questa bellezza, e come in tutti i diari SI INIZIA CON I VIDEO. Grazie a @KhalifaGenetics per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Decided to fim because I was kinda sad with my Slime Machine yield, always had more success with topping and fimming. Gave her a bit of Flower Girl Fertilizer. So far it’s looking great! Looking forward to buying a greenhouse to control all the pests eating my poor plants 😭 I see a lot of mites.

This was an easy week with flushing the 2 B Blunt and Wreck'd Nuts so that I can take them both down. The Wreck'd Nuts just did not recover well from the lock out issues it was facing. It all came out of nowhere and got kind of serious even with a solid flush. That strain is a bit more picky with the nutrient balance than the others were. Leaving the Sex Melon and Rainbow Candy for next week. They still have some beefing up to do.

Eccoci nella 6ª settimana di fioritura 🤩💚 la Black Muffin di SweetSeeds 🐘💚 è quasi arrivata al suo massimo 🔝😍 È molto bella da vedere anche se ha mantenuto il suo colore verde! 😍 Il bud principale è cresciuto come una bestia come si vede in foto! 28.11.24 Ok!sono comparsi i primi peletti bianchi 🤩💚✨

"everything's gonna be allright" 😍 Hello my friends, here are my ladies in a fantastic bloom phase 😍 Canna Nutrient and Atami Soil works really good for my experience, i think i use the same for the next one because i'm shure is a winning solution 😍 On the buds, crystal are more and more and more day by day..the size is going on, from the morning to the evening i can see the difference between. Amazing, i can't say nothing else. give me your impressions, if u want 🙏 Green is the way.. The best for all, Omisan

Held off on feeding for 2 waterings, as I over fed slightly and notices a slight yellowing in the leaf margins signifying a nutrient lockout/toxicity. I flushed Media with Ph'd water and problem was successfully resolved .. Then yesterday 11/5/2021 I watered in some "Instant Compost tea" lol... a.k.a (Real Growers) 'RECHARGE' 💦🌱🚀. Before watering, I Top Dressed my media with 1 Tbsp./Per 3 Gallon container with 'AZOMITE'

Hello everyone😎 Week 6 of flower for the LCC🍋🍒🍪 All the top buds harvested✂️ I had a lot of fun growing this strain🤩 The smell is absolutely out of this world…the colors…💜 I have 3 different pheno,all purple,some smells more citrus and the others more ripe cherries! One more week for the lower buds and finito I already feel nostalgic😜 *what’s coming out of the yuzu is essentials oil,every year I make Yuzucello feel free to ask me the recipe🍸🍋

revive and algamig added to the plant for problems seen in leaves

10/14-its clear these babes want to flower. HULK A,C, and D are doing fine/bouncing back from my error in week 5. HULK B seems to have been affected the most and is trying to recover. -Im not going to neut feed until the middle of the week depending on how the plants look! 10/15- Watered with Rhizotonic to aid the plants. 10/18- Plants are growing again! and looking happy! all is well. 10/20- Last day of the week but I decided it was time to feed. I started the first round of bloom feed. P.S sorry about the purple light in all my photos! I broke the zipper to my grow tent so taking them out is super hard! I will try and take better photos here on out!

Day 58 Not much, they doing fine. However, i think i need to train the photos better next time to get the colas at the same height. Also i ll grow the auto that doesnt flower early like in 2 weeks next time. The girl is pretty small. The photo girls grow taller even by the night time. They are almost into the light. I dont know if there is bad side or not, i just tilted the light as in the picture. Hope they doing fine. I aint gonna fuck around and find out next time. I ll just grow next batch either only auto or photo. Day 60 The auto is ripening. The smell when i open the tent is satisfying. Cant wait for the harvest. Cant wait to taste the own grow. 🌱🍀

GG is takin off...TG decided to join the party late on account of my ignorance 🤦‍♂️🤣...great healthy retard strength growth...starting nutes in a couple days, sure wish sm1 could help me with my soil PH lol

So after consideration of the density of the buds and my night humidity levels— decided to chop a week early. Buds are super dense. Concern for mold. Very leafy lady- with massive fans She’s 10% amber but still some white pistols on the lowers. Very easy to grow. Stayed on the shorter side with minimal stretch—which is appreciated. I love how the Plagron Green Sensation is nitrogen free! I used it from weeks 3-6. Super helpful as the leaves were getting a little curl— even with minimal nutes. Will have harvest report soon. As terps can change after dry/cure. Happy with the results of the Runtz and Plagron! 🏻💚

The smell is so great wish I’d be getting more nuggets off of this girl but at least it is dense will continue to keep updating as the week goes on

Commence a sentir le raisins et la pamplemousses extra résineuses.

Another uneventful week.Daphne continues to bud and no issues with the Chamber. pH is staying steady @ 6.5 for now. Humidity continues to stay in low 40's and she is starting to acquire a very nice scent. Hopefully another two weeks on nutrients then a third week of no nutrients then hopefully a completed harvest.
