All I can say is wow. The crystal development and the absolute stank of this genetic is something to behold. A brush of the arm against a set of pistils will leave you with matted arm hair and a difficult mess to clean. Strong limonene presence in 2 of the phenos, heavy red color through most stems. Will be a very special harvest and a very sticky trim. The frost is living up to the hype so far

Week 4 the girls are really growing and stretching i gave them a defolation and light misting started Lst to all my plants. These plants are showing a lot of new bud sites

Went into this week just using mute from fox farm ocean then began nutrients due to deficiencies, getting in under control but overall doing well also started 3 new plants going to start a diary for them soon

My beautiful C4 Auto from fastbuds, I decided to place her outside for her life and not to impress, should of just done both as indoor plants. The hash elements mutated her and continue to mutate. But overall she is budding pinkish purple colors throughout. Still hitting up with fem spray because I wouldn't be able to place an order with Fastbuds again so I try my best to keep this strain from them as my primary strain and get new strains from it .. Thanks Fastbuds.....

Made multiple mistakes on first grow but it seems they are surviving any tips will be helpful. Mistakes - 1)putting 4 plants in one bucket don't know how that will play out. 2) left window open at night temp was low for night. 3) didn't provide enough light they were under one cfl bulb till now.

Cosa posso dire, sono impressionato dal risultato ottenuto, Nell insieme è uscita una grande erba, mi aspettavo molto meno sinceramente e RQS mi ha stupito! Grandi ragazzi 💪😸😻💜💖

Dank Berry is really starting to show her structure after multiple toppings. She’s growing bushy with lots of healthy green leaves and new shoots forming. Excited to see how many bud sites she will build up before the flip.

Week was good they are nice and flush still didn’t put up trellis but it will be done I am cleaning up the whole bottoms this week and Then will put up net once net is up it just going to make it harder for me cus I only have a small space to water and get to back of the plants but I can get back there that’s y I’m procrastinating on putting up net other then that plants are healthy and coming along nicely I’m trying to only focus on the fire og obviously u can see more plants in pictures but there’s only 3 fire ogs and they are all in front

we improvised with threads the mesh was badly placed but everything served and fulfilled its function, now the leaves have grown again and the mini jungle is re-formed, we really liked how the previous pruning turned out although aggressive to the plants it did not affect them they recovered almost instantly, and it works in our favor because of the space, so this is already the end of the second or the beginning of the third week, in the next one I will upload the pruning and everything as it is already at the end of almost the 3rd week of flowering, at least of the larger, the others, as you know, are 2 to 3 weeks apart, so for them it is 1 or 2 weeks of flowering, which is noticeable in their development. the risks that are written down in the diary are the fertilizer once a week, and 1 3.5-liter drum or a gallon is used, which is divided into the 2 largest and another equal gallon with a different proportion for the 5 smallest , in the newspaper it is written down of the great ones.

Update May, 20 Another 1.5l with week 4 dose. Takti recovered from topping. He grew massive leaves as well which wasn’t so obvious while he drooped. I also added training clips and wire to Samy as he grows „longer“. Takti is still too short for that. The clip would be too long. Update May, 18 Watered 1.5L each today. Used week 4 of the feeding schedule, so I skipped week 3. I also inserted a first scrog net to help with LST. I wanted to try using two nets this time, so this will be the lower one. The reason I hadn’t put it in yet was to not cast shade on the plants, so I placed it below everything. It has a nice side use: you can put lower hanging leaves up to make space for the water spray. Can only recommend putting the scrog net in as early as possible, in case you didn’t know that already.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😆😆 Update May 17 Another week, another progress update. Had a bit of a stressful situation a few days ago when Takti started drooping. Must be because he had a little root damage during transplantation. You can see it in the pictures from last week. Every other parameter was the same for Samy and he didn’t droop. I still set the light timer back to 20 hours, and he fully recovered. I’ve since increased it back to 21 hours and will go back to 22 in steps of 30 minutes. They are massive chuggers. I give them more than double the water I gave Ryu and Ken in my last grow, and they still handle it like it’s nothing. This week is also topping time. Started the week by topping both of them, as well as defoliating their single-finger leaves and the shoots coming from there. They should be fully recovered by the end of the week. Fingers double-u'd. Last but not least, I uploaded the timelapse, enjoy! I now need something to hold my iPhone in place facing the plants in their larger pots to continue it, and right now I don’t have the money for that. But I’ll see what I can do, maybe I’ll find something and can keep it going. On the upside: before, I was dependent on my gaming PC running to record the lapses. Now my iPhone can record for days without me having to babysit anything, so as soon as I have something to hold it in place, I can keep those going till the end of the grow, no problem.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay tuned and happy growing!

Denn Ladys geht es bis jetzt hervorragend. Die Buds werden jetzt so langsam dicker 🎊✌️

Hello everyone 👋 Week 8 of flower for the Banana Purple Punch auto from Fast Buds 🍌😈 She grew fast with a beautiful color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds & Green sensation 1ml/L from Plagron Now only plain water 💧 All the top buds are ready for harvest

They’re coming back nicely after the defoliation. I feed her and let the soil dry out and the results are here.

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. 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. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (LIME GREEN CHLOROSIS) 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. Come walk in the enchanted forest.

What up grow fam. Update for these lovely ladies. They started to go into preflower so I'm glad I did a defoliation and lollipop earlier this week. I will switch from Athenas Blended Line Grow A&B to Bloom A&B with a PK Booster. They got a little out of ph in the soil as I completely forgot to calibrate my ph/ppm meter. Now they seem to be bouncing back ok. All in all Happy Growing.
