Chop day. Everything is looking and smelling incredible. The range of smells I've got so far are: floral, grape, blueberry, gas, burnt rubber, tangerine, funk. Everything appeared fully mature beside the Cambodian x Meat Breath and Pak Man so decided this was the best time to cut them down.

Growing through another Week. She's Healthy but Growing Slowly. Still no Trichome Development yet and She's just Starting to Develop Buds. I Decided to give Her PH'd Balanced Water ONLY this Week. Still seeing Potential Signs of Nutrient Burn. Depending on how She Fares this Week I may give Her One Feeding of Beastie Bloomz to Help Her Buds Fatten. With Her Size I'm Hoping for a Good Yield n I don't want to Chance giving Her too much Nutes. We'll see how things Grow

Day 40 : Watering today community after 3 days. They were too thirsty and drank 2.5L per plant. I added a lot of food to the water. But it finished with 800ppm only. I think Biobizz decreased the density of nutrients. I added 1 co2 tab / 5L as every time. Also made small defoliation to the bottom for all ladies. She have reached 45cm. There is something strange in this one. She is indica phenotype as its obvious, which means she flowers faster but she looks a bit behind. Maybe she felt the air so much in front of fan. I moved her and places DsD in front of fan.

Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. The mind is constantly working and producing, just like a factory. It's not just a passive recipient of information but an active producer of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. The "ingredients" in this factory are the information you consume, such as books, conversations, and the media you engage with. The "products" are your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The quality of the ingredients directly influences the quality of the output. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function. I am playing in the enchanted forest. A shift in perspective is what changes perception over time. By deliberately considering a situation from another point of view (perspective), you can challenge your initial, knee-jerk interpretation (perception). This is a valuable skill in both personal and professional life for fostering empathy, improving problem-solving, and making more informed decisions. Move the mind off perception into perspective. Thank you.

Day 120. Girls taller than me , I think one is closer to 220cm ;)))) All healthy, a bit thursty and hungry, but I plan to top dress them only after holidays at the end of September. Think there is stream going under my cliff and that saves me from watering. So in reality except couple top dressings and watering during planting out - zero work done with them. Girls stink, but you can't smell them 50 meters away, so I am safe for now .... Happy Growing !!!

Update 11/04/2022 (Day 57) Hello All! the start of yet another week!! it's been 2 weeks ago since I Flipped to flower but I have a feeling they are really slow in this process. it's only today I really start to see some pistols forming! Since these are my very first Photoperiods i am yet again on unknown territories. Might be that at this stage my TSW2000 just isn't juicy enough. lucky enough I've got a new FC-4800 coming in from Mars hydro. this will have a much better coverage and and some more wattage I might have to do another Lollipopping session once I really see pistols all over the place. The stretch on these girls is crazy at almost an 78CM as of today. I only have +- 80 CM left in my tent and that also means I gotta figure out a way to get my lights up tight against the ceiling and rearrange my extraction fan. 1 plant is kinda on the slow side I accidently topped that one in the early stages and it feels like it never really recovered from that. Having a look at my clones well 4 out of 8 survived and are now starting to develop some nice roots. Thats it for today. hope too see some nice buds forming this week. Update 14/04/2022 (Day 60) Yesterday the new light arrived so I got busy. in order for the new light to be hang as high as possible I had to move the extraction fan outside the tent it now sits on top of the tent. the driver from the light is also placed on top of the tent. I must say this new FC4800 is a very welcoming upgrade it really has a much better coverage in my 4x4 and more wattage :D after the switch I got busy with some scissors to apply a final lollipop session. also transplanted the clones in some bigger pots gotta keep them under the Secret Jardin Tneon 2x55watt lights 6500K till beginning of may than they will be moved to some friends garden.

2/3 of the plants are starting to fade. Middle pheno is showing deficiencies. It’s a toss up between pheno 1 and 3 . And a strong question about whether I want to keep this strain going. Robinhood Seeds, you have disappointed me greatly.

Dear friends, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I can’t say that something more important happened to me this week than your time spent with your family)) But I’ll tell you a couple of things! Firstly, I set up a camera and recorded timelapses, enjoy)) Secondly, I started new pallets while both bushes are on the same, but will stand on different ones when they grow large. In third place this week, but the most important is automatic watering. One pump waters 2 plants with a solution at once, watering occurs evenly at 1100 ml per minute per plant. At this stage, I water the plant 4 times a day, 300 ml each. 700-800ppm. pH 5.8 is strictly observed. In fourth place is the news that I cut off the tops, after that I will try to bend them in different directions before installing the scrog mesh. Next week we will install a scrog net, a co2 tank, an automatic co2 supply system. By the way, I forgot to tell you, all growbox systems work from the application on the phone: watering, nutrient solution, fans, and we will add co2. next week. In the meantime, friends, I wish you happiness and great harvests in the new year! I love everyone!

День 85 В обоих боксах пышнеют шишки. В верхнем очень рыхлый куст. Колы в шишках, но большое пространство. Верхушки только начали расти в ширину.На балкон в другой бокс пришлось повесить лампу ДНаТ 250. Она помогает держать на балконе температуру +16°C и выше. Сушит воздух тоже хорошо. За бортом -20°C — проветривать нечасто получается. Влажность 60% и выше. Возможно из-за этого макушки не уплотняются.

Tag 63: Die Pflanze erholt sich nur schlecht, ich vermute es war die Hitze vorletze Woche. Aber der Schaden zeigt sich wohl erst jetzt so nach und nach. Genau da wo es Kühler wurde 😲 Tag 65: Habe die verbrannten Blätter entfernt, doch auch die neuen Blätter sehen auch nicht wirklich gut aus. Die Pflanze hat Millionen winzige neue Zweige ausgebildet. Die müsste ich eigentlich auch noch alle entfernen irgendwann. Ich bin am überlegen die Pflanze platt zu machen. Tag 66: Ich habe die Pflanze schweren Herzens platt gemacht 😭. Da war einfach der Wurm drinnen. Ich will die Sorte aber so bald wie möglich erneut growen.

She grew up nicely very healthy and strong and she produced a decent amount of organic clean cannabis, It's great and just what I work for because I'm a patient that needs to grow his weed and doing it making sure I grow them naturally and organically. The result is a very fruity and and tropical aroma, the purple color makes her even more beautiful. It's just a dream man, I love it, I just love to grow this strain, the 4 plants I grew had the same aroma very tropical and fruity, super sweet.

Putting on weight fast now in peak flower. Love the structure of the plant and really regretting not taking a cutting. Oh well, ce la vie. Will stop adding PK in the next few days before cutting back on nutrients next week then flushing for the last 2 weeks. This plant is at the back of the timelapse.

Hi legends, Day 47 of week 7 This week has seen a massive difference, 3 of the plants have started turning purple which I find strange as all the cutting were taken from the same mother plant. we also have a leaf with seed pod the same as Bnc grower, not sure what causes this anyone? but my guess is that she just wants to get germinated any way she can.. Have started to flush with pre RO water at ph 6.3, this is near impossible to ph with a meter at 0 CF, So I have to PH the water with PH 6. 7.6 colour chart. Also this week the buds are much more resinous and the aromas are fantastic, especially fruity with a very distinct peach smell. I also noted that IMO many smaller buds have not been receiving enough light and therefore not ripening as well, these will be used for making hash looking at the trichomes most still clear but on the purple plant they are mostly cloudy. Ttfn Greenies 😍

These gals are doing fantastic! Smell is really starting to come out now, smells like a very strong citrus pine 👌🙌 Switched them to full strength flowering nutes and they're doing pretty well. I probably should have transitioned them a little earlier but a little stress doesn't hurt, they're growing just fine! Heat is also an issue but they'll manage 😅 8-4-18 :: Largest plant's bucket got empty on accident; Filled a 15gallon reservoir of full strength nutes and pumped the solution into the bucket as always. Next day my largest plant is dying and the other two are fine, looks like lockout. Flushed for a day and then added nutes, no improvement.. Orange pistils are appearing pretty fast on it too as if it's trying to ripen but not grow. My heart is broken😰 UPDATE: Realized I was an idiot and didn't plug up the holes I drilled into the top of the buckets (I stick a hose in there to fill them up) and the roots were exposed to light.

Really enjoyed growing this plant. The smells and colors are incredible. The size of these nugs are huge! I'm so proud of myself but I also know the genetics were key. Atlas Seeds - WOWZA! Can't wait to taste this delectable fruit. I worked hard for it, working even harder for that first taste. 👽 4 Full OZ of dry weight.
