Eccoci qui!!! Tutto procede per il meglio, i pistilli sono usciti e ora si va dritti dritti alla maturazione, NE VEDREMO DELLE BELLE!!! Davvero molto molto intrigato da queste bellezze, STRAIN 1 mostra colori violacei nelle prendisole in alto e mi fa ben sperare nel fenotipo viola che cerco. Entrambe le piccole sono in salute e crescono molto vigorosamente... WOOOOW Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🔥🌲

Day 84:Another week passes and these girls are still full of white pistils. The Los girl is now totally void of Nitrogen in her pot I think and it explains the yellowing from early on. I think I may have washed the life and nutes out with an overwatering and not had chance or time to replenish them fully. Their pot will be redone when she is out to re introduce all the life. The bids on her have definitely paid the price of no supply of abundant feeds and without doubt smaller than they could have been. She is so productive that it's a shame to reach the end this way. # 2 is leading the way for her to watch how its done.She is pushing nice shaggy fat colas that are starting to orange up a little now so should it be much longer before she reaches her perfect pint to harvest. #3 Has pushed herself to the top slot for size and development. The colas are so hard i can't squash them at all. They let me know they are there with bursts of pineapple smells as I move them around. I don't doubt that she will be another week before her end but that gives her more time to swell !. For growth , this strain is amazing and a definite grow for the future. until next week Growmies. have fun

If you are lonely when you are alone, then you are in bad company. Bee pollen is considered a “vitamin bomb” due to the presence of almost all vitamins with an average of 0.02–0.7% of its total content, with a higher amount of water-soluble than fat-soluble vitamins. Bee pollen contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, and C. It also provides minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and selenium, I mixed a bunch of that with some honey and RAW cane molasses to make a nice big bucket of tea. A family friend who is a beekeeper was kind enough to share some honey. The nutritional content of raw honey is impressive and includes high levels of protein, amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as various polyphenolic antioxidants. I am loading up nature's finest sugars, and sweet things, Honey & Mollases. UV-B-induced DNA damage (CPDs and 6–4 PPs) can be repaired efficiently by photolyases. Pyrimidine dimers can be repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), or bypassed by replicative polymerases (Britt 2004). The expression of the CPD photolyase (PHR) gene is induced by UV-B light dependent on UVR8 signaling pathway, and is also induced by blue and UV-A light (Li et al. 2015) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44154-022-00076-9?fromPaywallRec=true Old but gold. The camera picks up far more light than there is during the night cycle, camera is showing bright pink violet collages but my eyes barely see a thing, about 0.25ppfd in that tent overnight. Have been tweaking the spectrum of moonlight/intensity and watching the responses overnight. Tweak, tweak, tweak all week. PAR is 400-700nm, Overnight UVA in the tent is all 365nm and 385nm, so the meter only picks up a fraction of the light curve that makes it photosynthetically active past 400nm. Of the light in the tent, 0.25ppfd is from UVA Looks like It makes them 🕺 🕺 💃 all night. Better flower soon or ill be screwed for space, they are stretching, but is it "the stretch"? She has fire in her belly. Growing crops with insufficient light (i.e., below “optimal,” as defined here) limits the yield potential, which in turn wastes the other production inputs including labour, water, nutrients and electricity. As lighting fixture is one of the most expensive investment of the production, what is the relationship between light intensity and yield? Potter and Duncombe (2012) grew cannabis plants with varying canopy-level PPFDs during the flowering stage and found that increasing PPFD from 400 to 900 μmol·m−2·s−1 increased yield an average of 1.3 times higher, across seven cultivars, with no light intensity treatment effects on floral cannabinoid concentrations. Vanhove et al. (2011) found that cannabis yields were 1.3 to 3.1 times higher (depending on cultivar) when plants were grown under approximately 1000 μmol·m−2·s−1 compared to approximately 450 μmol·m−2·s−1 during the flowering stage.It was predicted that cannabis yield would exhibit a saturating response to increasing Light intensity, thereby signifying an optimum light intensity range for indoor cannabis production. However, a new research from Morrison (2021), after 81 days‘ experiment, found that When plants grew under LI ranging from 1200 to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1 provided by light emitting diodes (LEDs), inflorescence yield increased linearly as LI increased up to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1. "Cannabis will not stop flowering if the lights are turned on for a few minutes once or twice during the 2-month-long flowering cycle. If a light is turned on for 5 to 30 minutes—long enough to disrupt the dark period—on 3 to 5 con­secutive nights, plants will start to revert to vegetative growth." "Less than one half of one foot-candle of light (0.1ppfd) from sunlight will prevent cannabis from flow­ering. That is a little more light than is reflected by a full moon on a clear night. Well-bred indica-dominant plants will revert within three days. Sativa-dominant plants take four to five days to revert to vegetative growth. Once they start to revegetate, it can take from four to six ad­ditional weeks to induce flowering again!" Guess ill find out my answer soon.

Aug 6: Harvest is about a week away I think. Some very minor aphid appearance on lower undersides of leaves suggest I can't wait too much linger to chop. Colors remains vibrant lime green and resin is thick on shaded areas with extremely fruity, floral and pineapple aromas. Tester bud selected.

Day 63 from seed, about 5 weeks into flower 🌹✌️🏽🌱 Plant has finally stopped growing vertically, stopped at 57 cm, Considering the topping and LST, that's pretty high i would say. Had to do another huge defoliation and cutting down all immature branches and popcorn buds. Also started to add Atami bloombastic (pk14-15) for the second stage of flower. All in all everything is going smoothly now, buds getting bigger in size, although still fluffy. Hopefully they'll get danser in the next week or so🤞🏽 Until next week ppl 😎✌️🏽💚

Los cogollos se están volviendo grandes como puños. Las hojas de la planta central se tornaron amarillas, luego cobre hasta quemarse las puntas por falta de nutrientes debido al bajo EC del agua.

Week 2, both the blue gelato 41 are going strong, good strong growth, no sign of any kind of deficiency, Nice short spacing between nodes, hopefully be able to top them before the end of week 2, or early week 3

This plant is producing flowers very fast. A week before you could barely see pistols, now you can see them clearly stacking in every branch. She trippeled her size in just 2 weeks. Overall she is not a thirsty plant and accepts the substrate really well. I did not use fertilizer , only some silicate, but no NPK fertilizer . But still, her leaves are in a healthy dark green colour, even though only a light-mix has been used. Maybe I will add some small amounts of P and K mono, but I don't think it's necessary. So far no purple to be seen, I hope it changed in the further bud-development.

Plants need to be spread out more and more lights need to be added. 2 days later plants spaced out and more light added

2/17 have about one week before harvest. Then 4 more will move in to the 2/18 harvested 3 plantz. 1 strawberry cough and 2 runtz. 66 days of flower. I will post picture of when done drying and going to cure. I defoliated my week 4 of flower girls. Adjusting week 7 girls under the net so they stay upright under the weight of bud there. And moving 3 more girls in to flower 1 runtz, one washington apple, and 1 . Also water night one gal of water per stage of flower. So the 3 in weeks 7 get 1 gal split between them and so do the week 4 girls 1 gal split between them

Overall very happy with the grow. Got 24oz of very dense nugs! I also managed to get 2oz of less dense but still pretty bag-appeal, and a shit ton of trim which I made into tidy ass brownies, which have made typing this incredibly difficult😂! Both of these strains are definitely bed time strains. The Critical kush is has the usual overwhelming kush taste, however the peyote(purple nugs) have a very sweet / flowery taste and smell. Disappointed I only done 1 peyote but more than happy with the critical. Would definitely grow both these strains again!

Tuesday update Ok so the plants are on a 12/12 cycle now and have been for about a week but I’m not counting it at a flowering weed until I. See pre-flowers at least. I’m surprised they hadn’t really reached sexual maturity by the time I flipped but it’s all good. They are getting to a very respectable size now - more so than that, they all have a really decent amount of growth nodes and are growing outwards more than upwards because of how I have topped, defoliated and got rid of the crap lateral branches at the bottom that don’t do anything. I was actually really amazed at how compact and scraggly they were at the bottoms of the stems when I came back and checked them today. They look much more bushy and straggly than the autos I have grown. I would say there is more need to have lolipopped and topped and stuff than with autos. If you really want you can just leave autos to get on with it and they don’t go TOO bushy at the base where as these really needed a tidy up. I do see a couple of pistols now which is starting to stop my worries about their sexual maturity and time management. With photos are you supposed to veg until you see them pre-flower? Or do they only show pre-flowers once you flip?

5/10 Week 7 beginning 2cd full week of Flower Making note of that due to extensive tricone building going on with the sugar leaves, very early for this. Due to Metal Halide I suspect. Going to reduce the Nitrogen by cutting back on Bloom A/B to 10ml/gal and retaining a small dose of 1-1.5ml/gal of the PK. I would be ending the PK here but want to try this for this strain only. Will be doing some training on Athena the evening and working on the canopy. 5/11 Trained down tall branch on Athena bringing her canopy level. New nuet levels HID to 300 watts just trying to make em happy. lot of light in that tent and we are learning. The question of potency when flowering under the UV of a Metal Halide bulb is answered as far as I am concerned, got tricones 2/3 the way down spreader leaves on the second week of flower. Damn 5/12 Dropped HID lights 2 inches as they are set to 300 watts and light stress has ended. Just looking for the sweet spot. Raised Sally's pot three inches for canopy. Switching PK boosters, going to the Soul Peak for a while to see if there is any difference to the plants. The Peak is more of an organic though it has salts in it so the dose is higher. Light defoliation Pretty sure this is how things will play out, Athena will be ready first along with Sally at about week 9 or 10, looking like 9. Baba is as much as a week behind Athena in Flower so looking at week 10-11. Jane (The Twin) is going to be interesting that little plant is determined to be all she can be now hitting 9 inches in height so week ? . May actually have to train this girl lol PM update Lowered the PK to 3ml/gal running low and who knows when I can get more. 5/13 Nuets- Gave a one time dose of Fish Sh!T - 3ml/gal Leaving lights as is for now. Jane is getting interesting, in pre-flower and may be doing a stretch she is hitting 10 inches and must be trained. New ground here for sure Major clean up and train Jane at lights on tonight. 5/14 After talking to my wife concerning her grow we are making accommodations to switch the Light to HPS for a while tonight. They need some red light 5/15 Too much to do today leaving everything as is till tomorrow 5/16 Ending the week and leaving things as is, changing that light now would so negatively impact my wife's plant(which we need and badly) going to take the hit on the LSD-25 yeild and stay with the MH bulb until Cleo goes into flower. Cannot believe how thick and widespread the trics have become under the MH bulb. Slightly increased the PK booster

2/13/2023 - Day 42: Start to week 6. Overall the plants are doing good, except the weird tip curling and yellowing. Initially i thought it may be either under or over watering, but the soil seems good. Not too wet or too dry. Then I thought possibly nitrogen toxicity, but the leaves don't look overly green. I now think it may be heat or light related, so I lowered the power on the light and raised it up a few inches. I also lowered the temp in the tent a few degrees. It could also be the new soil is a bit too hot still, and I've been throwing the kitchen sink at them, so I plan to just water with plain water the next few times and hopefully they will grow out of this. Plan to add the trellis net this week and start spreading the tallest plants out. 2/14/2023 - Day 43: Added the trellis net and did some light defoliation on the lowest part of a few plants. Plan to do more of a major defoliation next time I water. Also, the new growth appears ro be doing better, so I think raising the light fixed the problem. 2/16/2023 - Day 45: watered about 3.5 gallons, which is about 5% of the volume of the bed. I'm pretty sure the leaf curl I was seeing was a combination of light or heat stress, and slightly too much nitrogen, which is likely from the foliar spayed I was doing. Considering this, I decided to add a few things to the water. I mixed in ThermX-70, Comfrey Extract, Yah-Whey, FishShit, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and BuildASoil Big 6. I also did some additional defoliating to allow for some additional light penetration into the middle of the plants. Just started bending the tallest branches under the scrog net as well. Let's hope the girls have a positive reaction. 2/18/2023 - Day 47: did my weekly IPM. Foliar sprayed with distilled water mixed with BuildASoil EM-5. Also, realized I made a slight mistake. When I turned the lights up the other day, I never turned the schedule back on, so the lights have been on for 3 days straight. Luckily, the plants are still in veg, and they seemed to handling it well. The Grand Prix 3 had some minor leaf curling on the edges of some leaves, bit otherwise they still look good. They are back on 18/6 now.

Hey there, as the clones are almost ready and I will transplant them in the aeroponic system tomorrow, I allowed myself to get the pH and EC ready and stabilize it over a night. 😏 August, 20th: 23 of the 30 clones made it to the system and are now growing fine. Guess those 7 clones that didn‘t make it were old ones from below the mother plant. SanLights at 40%. ☀️
