Week 6 of growth was another bumpy ride. Temperatures climbed up to 27–30 °C (Celsius), which is definitely on the hot side, and humidity sometimes dropped as low as 40–45%. That combo put some serious stress on the plant. To fix it, I made a simple but effective move: I turned off the exhaust fan. Right away, humidity went up to about 70%, and the plant clearly started looking more comfortable. She seems to be handling these new conditions much better. I did make a mistake this week, though. Wanting to push growth a little too fast, I cranked up the light intensity too quickly, jumping from 300 to nearly 600 PPFD. With humidity already so low, that sudden boost dried the plant out. She definitely felt it, but I caught it in time, adjusted back, and now she’s recovering well. A bit of lost time, but nothing dramatic. The real highlight of the week has to be the Athena nutrients. The pH stayed locked at 6.1 from start to finish, without moving at all. I really appreciate that kind of stability, and I’m excited to see how it will impact the plant’s health and growth over the next few weeks.

Due to the proximity of winter, humidity and temperature dropped, which will facilitate the flowering period. The plant is starting to give off a little smell and is also needing more water. However, I am concerned with development, we think the buds aren't getting fat enough. Maybe we expected the flowers to be bigger at this point. As this is my first grow, I do not have a reference of how the plant should be. Overall we're optimistic, and we'll expect in the coming weeks that she will gain weight.

What a great week it’s been!today is day 65 from seed!! One of the Forbiddin Runtz got it’s last feeding on Friday and will get flushed for 2 weeks and will be ready for dry and cure! The rest will still remain getting same dose of nutes the rest of this week and most likely into the next! This batch felt like it went so quick ! Hope you all enjoy an watch out for next week !

Week 10. A bit behind the schedule considering I switched to 12/12 after week 1 but I don't rush. It was just an experiment to see what;s gonna happen when I switch so early.. Not much I guess :)) The left plant was like a week behind for the first part of the grow and now doing way better then the other one. Not sure what affected the one on the right if it's just genetics or something else but she is little bit slower now. It makes me feel like a light leak so I tightened up the tent and we will see. Fingers crossed it looks very promissing. I also have to leave for 5 days so I have to setup autowatering and hope it's not gonna die till I come back :) See you next week

Hey Friends, end of week 13 from seed Buds are getting thicker Smell is getting stronger Bud structure is looking amazing, so far its been an amazing experience seeing this plant grow. I am watering every 3-4 days 1 full gallon of water mixed with nutrients. Leaves are green, looking healthy Trichomes are 98% cloudy 2% amber This week I had a tough time trying to maintain a steady humidity level, its been raining outside lately so humidity level goes up. QUESTIONS When should I begin flushing?

Chemical reactions in which, a single substance splits up into two or more simpler substances are called decomposition reactions. These reactions are carried out by energy, supplied by different sources. The required energy can be supplied by heat (thermolysis), electricity (electrolysis), or light (photolysis). Let’s talk about photolysis reactions (not photosynthesis): Photolysis (also called photodissociation and photodecomposition) is a chemical reaction, in which a chemical (an inorganic or an organic) is broken down by photons and is the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule. The photolysis reaction is not limited to the effects of visible light, but any photon with sufficient energy (higher than the dissociation energy of the targeted bond) can cause the chemical transformation of the said (inorganic or organic) bond(s) of a chemical. Since the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength, electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and γ -rays, can also initiate photolysis reactions. Like all other peroxides, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also consists of a relatively weaker O−O bond, which is susceptible to light or heat. The net equation for the reaction is: 2H2O2⟶2H2O+O2 The step-wise reaction mechanism is suggested as follows (Ref.1): H2O2+hν⟶2HO∙ HO∙+H2O2⟶HO−O∙+H2O HO−O∙+H2O2⟶2HO∙+H2O+O2 Using isotope studies it was confirmed that the O2 formed is cleanly derived from H2O2 (Ref.2). Notes: The rate increases rapidly in the presence of catalysts such as MnO2 and KI (Ref.2). The rate of decomposition is slow at room temperature, but it increases with temperature. It is believed to be due to thermal decomposition of H2O2, which seemingly accelerates the photolysis (Ref.3). References: 1.J. P. Hunt, H. Taube, “The Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Quantum Yields, Tracer and Fractionation Effects,” J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(23), 5999–6002 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01143a052). 2.A. E. Cahill, H. Taube, “The Use of Heavy Oxygen in the Study of Reactions of Hydrogen Peroxide,” J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74(9), 2312–2318 (https://doi.org/10.1021/ja01129a042). 3.F. O. Rice, M. L. Kilpatrick, “The Photochemical Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions,” J. Phys. Chem. 1927, 31(10), 1507–1510 (https://doi.org/10.1021/j150280a004). Interestingly, as early as 1934 Haber and Weiss (Ref. 1) proposed that HO2∙ is formed in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The subsequent reaction of the transient superoxide radical anion with hydrogen peroxide has been determined to also form the hydroxyl radical (Ref. 2). The higher pH version of the last reaction is, therefore, best represented as: O2∙−+H2O2⟶2HO∙+OH−+O2 And as H++OH−=H2O, the net product formation is not altered. However, alkaline H2O2 is well known to be less stable than acidic hydrogen peroxide (Ref.3) even in absence of light exposure, which accelerates its decomposition (which can involve radical pathways) liberating oxygen!

Temperature, humidity, and soil are the average for the week. These get well water and it's about 50° and 7.2-7.6 ph. They're fastbuds and they can handle it. I added 20ml coop poop, 20ml Jobe's, and 15ml blood meal as a top dressing on day 1 this Week. I only added a pinch near the stem. The remainder was spread evenly in a circle to the outer edge of soil. The listed dry fertilizers above are measure in ml/gallon of soil. Plant 2 succumbed to root rot on day 4. These started off with lots of rain and overcast days. That combined with cool nights was more than she could handle. I'll attempt a rehab by dropping her in a perlite filled cloner. Day 4 and overnight they got thunderstorms drizzle and rain. I included the hourly forecast. Plant 1 handled the harsh conditions nature threw at her. She hasn't added a lot of height and is growing slower than the Tropicana Cookies. The 38° F nights the last two days of this week brought out a little color in the center and might be the reason this one's growing slower. I watered on day 1, 3, then they got all that rain day 4, that night, early day 5 and water with 8ml biomin iron per gallon mix on day 7. So far so good.

Lots of foliage growth over the last week. Not much height growth though. Little sister is now nearly twice the height of her but with much less foliage. Not sure if the height thing is something i should be worried about. Ive only got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm grow space for 2 plants so short plants would be great, so long as they still produce a decent crop.

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This has been explosive in growth, both plants have put on some impressive growth. I feel the light being only 100w has contributed to some of the extra stretching between the nodes and this would not have happened under brighter settings. Added in some bokashi grain to the medium to help breakdown anything that maybe unavailable to the plants. everything is on course for success. It should be time for a top dressing of Acti-Sol in the next week., might use up whats left of my Gaia Green U•CANN line up as well. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Big shout out to @SpiderFarmer for supplying the 2x2x5 Grow tent and The SF1000 100w LED light. I will be uploading all relevant photos of the products in the next week when they arrive, maybe do a little unboxing video. Who knows. A 2nd big shout out to Dr.Seeds for supplying the 3x5pac of seeds I will only be featuring two of the three strains in two separate diaries. You the users will get to decide what ones I grow.
