Defoliation again, as you will see, gave the girls plenty of room for air to circulate.

Week 5 and this is where the f@#k ups really start to and the error of my ways are are to show bigs time.. ps at this time I dont realise but through the stress she started to pre-flower and I just kept on going

Eternity Grow Cup 2025 – Plagron & Zamnesia Runtz by Zamnesia Seeds – 51 days from seed and 22 days into flowering. 🌱 Our girl is growing beautifully! One of the colas shot up around 20 cm taller than the rest, so we had to bend it down. Thanks to LST and careful pruning of branches and leaves, she’s taken on a really interesting shape. We’re planning another round of leaf defoliation soon to give her even more space to thrive. 🌿 She’s loving the Plagron nutrients, and it really shows – she looks absolutely fantastic! 🙌💚

Just starting here, these seeds were above ground on Jan 20/22. Just starting my first week of veg now after main lining and structuring the plants the way I want, I'm doing the full veg/flower in these 1.5 Gallon pots. These were regular seeds and I know for sure there's one male , which I'm cool with as long as he turns out to be a stud of a plant , I'll keep his pollen and if I get a few seeds , if not he's gone. I don't mind it's just me smoking and last time I left the male I had maybe 20 seeds per female in all of the buds. This strain last time I grew it tasted like Durban poison with a cocoa/coffee hint it was delicious in the morning. Plants are 24 days old today.

Thank you. 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. 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, I'm 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.

7/22 Probably do some more defoliation this thing is bushy and seems to grow leafs as soon as I cut em besides that everyting is cool

Aug 10: this scrog is looking okay. Likely will avoid doing it this way in future, but it will work out. Aug 11/13: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you’re also immediately using a 730 nm light as a bloom booster. A bright light at that wavelength converts the hormone and allows the plant to go into dark mode two hours faster. Anyway, the red light cancels out the flash from the pics which is cool because buds look good in flash pics.

The final week for both Candy Hustle phenos has come to an end, and I’m really happy with how these two finished. There was a noticeable difference between the two plants towards the end. #2 definitely finished faster than #1, although I decided to harvest both together on August 2nd. The light stayed unchanged until the end at around 1000–1200 PPFD. They received their final watering three days before harvest with RO water + CalMag. After one final day under the lights, both plants were given 48 hours of darkness before being cut. Visually, these plants are probably some of the frostiest from this run. The buds and surrounding leaves are absolutely covered in trichomes and almost look sugar-coated, combined with some beautiful dark purple colors. ❄️💜 The two phenotypes also developed very different terpene profiles. #1 is very close to the breeder description for me, a strong grape aroma with mint/menthol and something fresh in the background. #2 went in a completely different direction and reminds me much more of soap mixed with a Skittles-like sweetness. 🍇🌿🍬 Both plants were also used for my DryRocket test. I separated some of the nicest buds from each plant to dry inside the DryRocket, while the remaining harvest was dried using my normal method. This gives me a direct comparison from the same plants under two different drying conditions. I’ll cover the results and my experience with the DryRocket separately in the harvest report. Overall, a beautiful finish to these two Candy Hustle phenos. Despite sharing the same genetics, they showed some very noticeable differences in finishing time, structure and especially aroma. Now it’s time to see what remains after drying and curing. 👀🔥

ya estamos ahi

What a beast

Stunning smell on this one, great nose and potent smoke to enjoy over the holidays

upsized it to a 10 gallong pot, will throw into flower in about 5 weeks!

🍨🌿🍦🍨🌿🍦🍨🌿🍦🍨🌿🍦🍨🌿🍦🍨 This girl put out some real amazing hues towards the end. Has a very pleasant aroma as well. She's on her last week in under light. I'll be harvesting this Beasty beauty next week. Gave Gelato a few good flushes over the last 10-12 days of plain RO, PH 6.5 With her initial flush done with a Flawless Finish soak. 🍨🍨🍦🍨🍨🍦🍨🍨🍦🍨🍨🍦🍨🍨🍦🍨🍨 ** Had some issues uploading her Trichome video. Eventually got it to post. Yay! Because we do 💚 them milky trichome forests. All is done for your appreciation of course. My fellow growmies make it all worthwhile. Eagerly waiting to indulge in this girl's fruity goodness. Good things come to those who wait patiently. 🍼💎🥛🍼💎🥛🍼💎🥛🍼💎🥛🍼💎🥛🍼 Until Gelato's harvest. Stay frosty 🥂

The buds did seem a little airy and fluffy after dry trim. Granted they were full of trichomes, although i do wish they were more dense. The plant did spend its last 5 weeks of flower outdoors in the greenhouse so possibly the extreme heat could have been the culprit. She is full of dark ember orange/red hairs and has super bag appeal. The smoke is smooth with a high that just smacks you about half way through the joint. The smoke was smooth and the high was very indica dominant with an initial hour of cerebal pleasure proceeding the later heavy high . Very unique and wonderful smell as she cures. The high is very strong and clear minded. Its good for an evening smoke in my opinion. Can be a heavy high but without the couch lock.

4 Wochen im Run, & ab jetzt wirds richtig eng in der Box 😆 die Ladys flippen langsam in die Blüte

Smell and looks amazing 🤩. I can’t wait for smoke this strain.

The Moby Dick ist doing great. Getting bigger every day! I Hope she'll Go on Like that! Maybe one more nod and i'll top her maybe Not. Gonna think about it. Stay tuned! 🤙🏽

Day 40. Was away for 2 weeks and girls missed me a lot !!! No TLC - NO RESULT !!! Worst grow I think, girls are small or weak and stretched .... Gave first feed ... SuperCroped highest girls ... Sad harvest upfront ... Think auto way is not for me ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 35.
