Week 3 of flower went smooth. The Kush got defoliated to expose bud sites to more light. Still feeding off the slow release top dressing of 444 and 284. She's drinking more water more frequently. She's also been moved to a Spider Farmer 5x5 tent and sitting under the Spider Farmer SF7000 cranked to a full 700w.

HARVEST TIME AT DAY 55 - 06/08/21 I wanted to get these ladies cut before we go through a heat spell. they were all ready but the gelato could have used a few extra days to make some more amber trikes... oh well cut them all and hung them at 72F @ 55%RH - hopefully I can keep the temps from fluctuating too much! I did a bit of trimming before the 48 hour dark period but none today see y'all in a week or so... if i can keep the temps good then it should be more like 10 days... we'll see! THCdaddy

They are filling out. Have brown turned up tips, EC is good on run off, increasing water. The big Skunk #1 has some purpling and yellowing on some of the upper fan leaves, I belive it is hungry as it is the largest and the others do not show any of the same condition including the other Skunk #1 that is much smaller.

You can dose a plant 40DLI, and it will grow. DLI is a measure of the energy captured in one cycle. Turgor pressure dictates cell elongation and growth. Turgor is dictated (daytime 90%) by transpiration. During transpiration, the plant pulls water from the roots, which creates osmosis. It is this osmosis that creates the pressure the plant uses to stretch cell membranes and grow rapidly. Turgor pressure is the counter-pressure the roots use to penetrate the soil. Osmosis plays a vital role in plants' nutrient uptake, particularly in the initial stages of absorption from the soil. Water, along with dissolved nutrients, moves into root cells via osmosis due to a concentration gradient. This process is driven by the higher solute concentration inside the root cells compared to the surrounding soil water, causing water to flow in the direction of higher salinity. Increased transpiration generally leads to increased nutrient uptake in plants. Transpiration, the process of water movement through a plant and evaporation from its leaves, creates a pulling force (cohesion-tension) that draws water and dissolved nutrients up from the roots. This "mass flow" of water brings nutrients into the plant. However, if transpiration is too high or too low, it can negatively impact nutrient uptake. While increased transpiration can lead to increased nutrient uptake, there is an optimal range. If transpiration is too low (water stress), nutrient uptake can be limited. If transpiration is too high, plants may close their stomata to reduce water loss, which can also limit nutrient uptake. Some nutrients, like calcium, are passively taken up by the plant, meaning they move along a concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration). This passive uptake is driven by transpiration. Other nutrients may require active transport, where the plant uses energy to move them across the cell membrane. Normal drinking water generally contains 5-7 mg/L of dissolved oxygen. Fresh fountain water can have slightly higher levels, around 10-12 mg/L. Commercially produced oxygenated waters are designed to have a significantly higher concentration of dissolved oxygen, ranging from 30 to 120 mg/L. Some commercially available hyperoxygenated waters can reach levels of 80 ml O2/L (STPD). Apologies for rambling on, but it's crucial to remember how important oxygen is to everything; if it runs short in supply for a moment, anaerobic respiration takes over, lactic acid, ATP drops, growth hinders, and pH skews. Nutrients are the construction materials. Light is the energy. Water is the solvent used to transport these minerals. Osmosis builds the pressure, and the higher the pressure, the higher the rate of water cycling, given that conditions are optimized. Microorganisms will compete with the plant's root zones for oxygen. Microbial activity in soil can be more pronounced during flowering than during the vegetative stage of a plant's life. This is because flowering involves much increased nutrient demands and changes in plant exudates, which can stimulate microbial activity in the rhizosphere. This is coupled with soil becoming slightly more moisture-retaining as more and more exudates are fed to the micros. Basically they go into overdrive, and that means they scavenge much higher levels of oxygen. less oxygen for essential plant process. High light intensities can lead to increased leaf thickness, density, and leaf dry mass, but also more stomata per mm2. Stomata are pores in the leaf that help with gas exchange (CO2 intake for photosynthesis) and water vapor release (transpiration). In essence, a high DLI (40) provides the light energy for photosynthesis, but the lack of water movement will severely hinder the plant's ability to utilize that energy and thrive. The plant will likely experience stress, wilting, and stunted growth. C60, also known as fullerene C60, has been shown to inhibit the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). This is often attributed to its antioxidant properties and its ability to interact with mitochondria, leading to a mild uncoupling of respiration and phosphorylation, thus decreasing ROS production. This grow I'll mostly be doing a slew of high-intensity testing, I want to observe for myself I'm selfish like that. Inhibit ROS production, you say. How does that change the game? Plants, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are primarily produced during photosynthesis and respiration. When a plant experiences excess light, it can lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be harmful to the plant. While plants have mechanisms to deal with ROS, the increased production under excess light can overwhelm these defenses and cause damage. In these situations, the plant's ability to photosynthesize efficiently may be limited due to the damage caused by excessive ROS. Xanthophyll Cycle, NPQ, ROS & Zeanthaxin to better understand the underlying mechanism and how the plants deal with excess of light in extreme intensities. Plants utilize non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) as a crucial mechanism to dissipate excess energy and prevent photo-oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The xanthophyll cycle and Non-photochemical Quenching (NPQ) are tightly linked mechanisms that help plants dissipate excess light energy to prevent damage to the photosynthetic apparatus. The xanthophyll cycle, involving the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, plays a key role in the induction and regulation of NPQ, a process where plants convert excess energy into heat. Does the "inhibit" mean it removes the ability? doesn't elaborate at all? Or will the plant just stress into weirdness as it's unable to perform ROS to help deal with the rigours of excessively high light intensities? Still early days, but I was not expecting a seedling to be able to handle 93°F 30RH%. That puts VPD in the 3s, which is just insane for a seedling. Would have preferred photoperiods for this one, but we will make do with autos, don't like being on a timer from day 1, wanted to take my time and mess around in veg. For now, we can see how it goes, I guess, and if it messes up, I'll just blame bad genetics. If it goes well, then it was all my hard work ofc! If the rate of nutrient uptake exceeds the plant's ability to utilize them or if the soil nutrient supply is imbalanced, the plant can accumulate toxic levels of certain nutrients within plant tissue. Soooo, in that case, I'll just create a bigger demand, see how it goes, I'd like to see how hard we can push. You can put all the gasoline in a car you want, but if the mechanism that drives is not in high gear, you cannot travel far in a cycle. You can put all the DLI you want on a plant, if it's not uptaking efficiently with a lot of turgor pressure build up, it will not grow much in a cycle. If you crank the water cycle 2x its regular speed, there will be a need for 2x the water, for double the growth, you will need double the mineral salt electrolytes in order to facilitate that growth. Salt left to evaporate in "water" will crystallize. When water evaporates, the dissolved salt molecules become more concentrated and, as the water continues to evaporate, they can no longer remain dissolved. This causes them to come out of the solution and form solid crystals. Interestingly with everything I've been reading on base saturation and how important Ca, Mg, and K are to soil composition, gets my mind going, because ive added so much calcium, I've noticed how much more structured the soil becomes after a heavy top watering, as the top soil evaporates, the soil almost looks as if it forms a structure due to high level of salts in the medium susceptible to the effect of rapid evaporation on a daily basis, obviously I'm not talking about perfect structure, its soil, dirt, but its just so airy, you can just see how much oxygen could easily penetrate, sorta adds a little internal salt-like crystal skeleton to the soil to help give it structure, this structure creates porous pockets of air rather than a flat dense muck. High volume buzzing of 432 Hz of the honey bee hive is vibrating into the soil. Resonance effects in crystals involve the vibrations and interactions of atoms within a crystal structure when subjected to external forces, such as light, temperature, or sound. No, it's not going to make leprechauns grow out of the soil, and no, it won't create rainbows and magic plants. All I know with 100% certainty is this: Resonance is a real thing, salt is a crystal when evaporated, and it won't hurt. Its what makes the honeycombs after all. Sea salt makes up a very small percentage of the air we breathe at ground level. Of everyone in NA who has high blood pressure are medicated based on the fact they have high blood pressure, here is the kicker, 85% of people are medicated without ever knowing what causes the high pressure. 🙄 Table salt has everything but sodium and chlorine removed. Making it little better than poison. Once you start to grams how much "salt" is added to everything, trust me not all salt is created equal. Celtic sea salt contains over 82 trace minerals. These minerals, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and others, are naturally present in the salt due to the unique way it's harvested from sea water. Gotta make those Benjamin's, a healthy customer is not a money making customer. 5g is same frequency as microwaves, what does a microwave do to meat? Well that's what 5g does to you, it cooks the mitochondria, water won't absorb into cells without first having the magnesium to draw the water into cells. Celtic sea salt has 3 or 4 different kinds of magnesium, dissolving a crystal in your mouth will absorb the magnesium through your mucus membrane directly into blood stream and into cells thay desperate need water. Body will absorb alot more water now when you drink it, this will alleviate the inflammation caused by the cooking of your mitochondria. Human body is 60-70% whatever water, 20-30% is not jist water but salt electrolyte water. Human body uses electrical signals to function. If you don't have enough salts in your body water, problem begin, primarily headaches. Here is the kicker. There are no pain receptors in the brain, so when you get a headache it's actually a part of the head called the " dara" iiirc. It's like a guitar string that sits in front of your head, whenever salt electrolytes get low, the Dara will let you know, so whenever you get a headache have a glass of water with some celtic salt and wham, headache gone in 10 min. But shhh your not supposed to know that. Water, water, water. Sea water has ec of around 35,000 ppm, 1:50 with water for soil application and 1:100 for plant/foliar treatment. Not saying anyone should just that you can. P.s Approximately 40% of the human brain is composed of white matter, and myelin is a major component of this white matter. In fact, myelin constitutes about 50-60% of the dry weight of the white matter. Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds the axons of nerve cells, forming the myelin sheath, which insulates the axon and speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. Cholesterol is a major component of the myelin sheath, the insulating layer around nerve axons. Myelin is rich in cholesterol, along with phospholipids and glycolipids, and plays a crucial role in the structure and function of nerve cells. In fact, myelin is composed of approximately 40% cholesterol, 40% phospholipids, and 20% glycolipids. Butter is a food high in saturated and monounsaturated fats, which are important components of the myelin sheath. Myelin, a lipid-rich material, insulates nerve fibers, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals. Cholesterol, a key component of myelin, is found in butter. Shortly after your put on your zero cholesterol statins diet for old age, dementia etc follows shortly thereafter 100% of time, can't figure out why through, probably nothing to do with replacing butter with margarine. A wartime replacement for butter for the poor. 2020 here was 5-7 sources for vitamin D. 2022 legislation passed there is now only 1 source for all vitamin D supplementation. That is chloricaliciferol, its OK though because even though it's the only ingredient in rat poison it's perfectly healthy for humans to ingest it, it calcifys the mice brain and kills it, but it makes humans healthy. 👏 I'll pass thanks I'll get my vitamin D naturally from controlled dosage of 280nm UV-b exposure on the skin, I trust the creator more than I trust any governing body when it comes to health. You think it's a hospital. Knights hospitillar and the red cross that it symbolically represents is not interested in your health, The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, is a Catholic military order. It was founded in the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century and had headquarters there until 1291. *twiddles thumbs* How much was financially incentivised at each of these places to do what was done between 2020 and 2024. Carry on.

Right so basically, a week ago today marked a month for these ladies and because I had a broken phone it was very hard to keep up to date with the journal but hopefully now I can keep on top of this grow for you guys. It's been 35 days since germination for the Rhino Ryder and Afghan Kush. I'm using soil from the back garden and now that there is a bit of foliage, with the watering etc. The humidity has risen to a level I'm not happy with to which I'm going to invest in a portable dehumidifier to bring down the moisture in the air. I had to defoliate as it was getting really bushy and the fan was struggling to get air through the fan leaves. I cannot believe the RR, started off as the most finicky plant from germination and now it's the tallest f***er of the 4. She has shot up! I looked at the yellow tips on the leaves and apparently it's a lack of Iron. I read that Iron deficiency can be left to work itself out typically if it's not severe. Usually after a few days after the leaves are left to expand the yellow disappears and they turn a nice fresh green colour. The smell in here is fantastic! Until next time! ;) Happy growing and much love from the Shire!

I applied too much pressure and main cola broke during final LST. I would call it super cropping if she wasn't in flowering faze already. She will recover but I doubt she will manage to reach full potential. Sprayed with boom boom spray. 20 ml orgatrex per plant and 10ml BIO P-K. Connected on auto-pot as I am gone for a week. Sun-Light EVO 80 grow light increased on 100% (Out of 4 levels I was increasing power every 2 weeks app). Light eight increased to 50 cm.

6/8 Haven't had to water yet (besides the two tens and I should've held off). It's an overcast day. Perfect for the plants. I've noticed more off shoots of 3 pronged leaves so a few plants will reveg but thats fine. I'm happy with how things are going thus far. These are certainly very resilient strains. I've done some SLIGHT LSTing. EDIT: IT'S BEEN A NICE DAY TODAY. A LITTLE OVERCAST BUT SUNNY AT TIMES. PERFECT WEATHER FOR THE GIRLS. THEY ARE LOVING IT OUT THERE! 6/9 And the girls are lookin' Fiiiiiine. In all seriousness everything is doing pretty good. Even that overwatered pink kush runt in the 10gal is coming out of its little funk. Some of my FIM's turned out amazing! With the reveg of some of these I'll definately have my hands full. Very grateful for smart pots and well draining soil! We've gotten some harsh rain but the girls all seem fine. It's the wind today that's a little worrisome. I may stop over later. I COULD put up tarps around the cage as wind blocks (and have before in the past) but it increases the humidity of an already extremely humid day. These girls are strong. I'm sure they'll be fine. I've found that the tarps typically hurt worse than they help.

Eh estado desconectado pero aquí va algo más de estas nenas, aun las tengo en periodo de vegetación. Lo que si esta semana logramos instalar la carpa correspondiente para estas nenas así que estamos esperando a llenar la carpa y poder pasar a floración. La estructura habla por si sola, aun no le hago amarres correspondientes ya que estoy esperando que me lleguen los soportes y poder darle más vigor del que ya tiene con el apoyo. Estamos probando cannaboost via folear 3 veces por día 2 ml x litro. lo vamos a utilizar hasta el día 21 de floración y comenzamos vía riego. quiero comprobar diferencias ya que todos mis cultivos tengo que probar alguna cosa nueva ya sea estilo de alimentación o lo que sea. Siempre dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda me pueden encontrar en instagram @chocolopeison Saludos
