I'm 4 days into flower. Topped all the plants nice and even. Then removed all bud sites below the top 4 on each branch. Leaving fan leaves intact. I allowed them to recover for 2 days. Then flipped the lights. Blue Gelato 41 has filled in 2/3 of the tent well. Big leaves are forming and they continue to reach.

Grew nicely in the chalice and needed to be watered daily. Produced some beautiful buds and a pretty fat cola. Had no issues I had to worry about and overall grew a lot better than expected!

As of the afternoon of May 15th, I have begun some LST with binder clips/safety pins and some soft pipe cleaners. With the exception of the Critical Jack, I think most of the plants are showing some signs of excess Calcium and Nitrogen so I am going to take CALiMAGic out of their feeding regimen and cut the nutrients down to 1/4 strength as of this afternoon. The Dinafem Critical Jack Auto is now the tallest plant and seems to be the healthiest one of the bunch at this point, she keeps amazing me every day. The Seedsman White Widow Auto is not very tolerant to feedings and its stems & branches seem to be weaker than the others; very bushy. Both the Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD and the Mephisto Ripley's OG are very healthy but are growing very squat and bushy -- which made trying some LST for the first time a bit more challenging! As of the evening of May 17th, I noticed pre-flowers on both the Critical Jack and the Ripley's OG. The Critical Jack is certainly stretching out right now! The White Widow and the Industrial Plant CBD look like they should be getting pre-flowers by the end of the week. The Critical Jack has taken to being under the ViparSpectra 600 light more than the MarsHydro Mars II 1200 light -- something to keep an eye on?

30/04/2020 enjoy ! day 56 and 57of the gorillas. day49 Lemon Haze. 03/05/2020 I cant keep my HPS light working because of the heat... They will finish outdoors and, at my terrace, the maximum temperature registred was 39 fucking Celsius degrees so let´s see how she evolves ! I take a look at the crystals every single day because I know that because of the heat they can change of color very fast but its not the case, all the plants are very resistent. Top Candy and Bloom increasing, and i gave 3 doses of PK (52-34) and probably 1 or 2 more once a week. Stay tunned !!

🌾 Harvest Day — The Grand Finale of the Eternity Grow Cup 🌾 Days 72–73 | Trimmed on May 25 | Posted May 27 What a journey this has been — and what a finish. These five incredible Runtz phenos have now completed their cycle, and today, we celebrate the final stage of their flowering life: the Harvest. We sent the girls into darkness on Day 70, allowing them a full 48+ hours of rest and reset. The dark period was just a bit longer, truth be told, because time… it flows as it must. This extended dark time helps increase resin production, allowing the trichomes to mature just that final bit more. On Days 72 and 73, we harvested them with care and reverence. Each plant was hung upside down, whole, in a perfectly controlled 60% humidity environment for 13 full days. Before hanging, we gently removed only the fan leaves, leaving all trichome-rich sugar leaves in place — a natural armor for the delicate resin glands during drying. Why do we do this? Because those sugar leaves help protect the essential oils and terpenes, preserving potency, flavor, and aroma for the smoothest experience later on. 🌿 The Dry Room & The Trichome Guardians Throughout the drying, we used a moisture meter to monitor the moisture content in the stems. Once it dropped to around 12–13%, we knew it was time. This tool is a simple but game-changing ally in ensuring a perfect dry — not too fast, not too slow. We then trimmed everything by hand over a 6.5-hour focused session. Armed with trim bins and good energy, we collected an abundance of glistening trichome heads in the process — a golden bonus from these resin-packed beauties. The leaves themselves told a story: deep purples, near-black shades, autumn fades and metallic tones — just stunning. Each girl was trimmed in order: #5 → #4 → #3 → #2 → #1, revealing dense, chunky buds all the way from top to bottom. Not a single pop-corn bud among them — only rock-solid nugs, heavyweight champions in every sense. 📦 Cure Begins – Grove Bags & Glass Jars Once trimmed, the buds were tucked carefully into Grove Bags and glass jars, each stabilized at around 61% RH. The Grove Bags handle the microclimate beautifully, keeping humidity between 58–61%, perfect for preserving all that hard-earned quality. We’re now opening the jars daily, monitoring aroma and feel. This part of the process — the cure — is where the soul of the flower truly comes to life. ☀️ UV, Reds & The Perfect Run Part of what made this run so special was the precision in light spectrum. 40% whites, full reds, UV and IR, and the girls responded like royalty. The UV pushed trichome development to the max. The deep reds gave us thickness, color, and weight. All of it under ThinkGrow Model Ones powered through the Trolmaster ecosystem — everything syncing in harmony. This run was stable, lush, expressive — a grower’s dream. To my eyes, this was a perfect run. ⚖️ Final Yield: 1,302 Grams (1.3 kg) In a 4x4 tent — that’s just 1.2m x 1.2m for metric friends — we pulled in 1,302 grams of flower, not even counting the buds that were taken for filming, photos, or “quality control testing” along the way. 😉 Dense. Loud. Sticky. Resinous. 🌿 The Hidden Half: A Tribute to the Roots In every grow, there’s a part we don’t always see — a part that lives underground, quietly holding everything together. The roots. And this time, I wanted to honor them too. When we unpotted the plants after harvest, we were met with massive, dense root systems, completely filling the Autopot trays. These roots were vibrant, white and healthy, looking like noodles in a thick herbal soup — a true sign of vitality. The Autopots system, combined with the Aptus Holland Clean Program and Plagron Green Sensation, made sure they had the perfect environment to expand, absorb, and thrive. The PRO-MIX soil was the perfect foundation — light, fluffy, with excellent aeration. It all worked in harmony. After unpotting, I carefully washed every root system, removing all soil to prepare them for the next chapter of their story. Now, they’re hanging and drying — and will be left to cure for at least one month, possibly more, in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space. But why keep the roots? Because cannabis roots hold ancient value — both medicinal and ritualistic. Though they don’t contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD, they are rich in alkaloids, triterpenoids, sterols, and other therapeutic compounds that can be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, and calming. Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis Roots: • Friedelin – known for liver protection and anti-inflammatory effects • Pentacyclic triterpenoids – believed to support immune and anti-tumor functions • Alkaloids – some studies suggest pain-relief and muscle-soothing properties • High levels of fiber and tannins – excellent for digestive and skin applications 🍵 Root Medicine — Ways to Use Dried Roots: Once fully dried (they should snap like twigs, not bend), they can be gently crushed, powdered, or infused: 🌿 Cannabis Root Tea Soothing & Detoxifying • 1 tablespoon of dried, ground roots • 3 cups of filtered water • Simmer gently (do not boil) for 20–30 minutes • Add a bit of ginger or lemon for taste • Sip warm, especially good for menstrual discomfort, inflammation, and general relaxation 🍲 Healing Root Soup Base Brothy & Nourishing • Add a handful of dried roots into a veggie broth or bone broth • Simmer for 2+ hours • Strain before serving • This adds a subtle earthy tone and allows the healing properties to infuse your meal Topical Root Cream or Balm Great for sore muscles or irritated skin • Infuse roots in olive oil or coconut oil (low heat, 2–3 hours) • Strain and mix with beeswax to form a balm • Add essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus • Apply to temples, joints, or sore areas 🛁 Root Soak Bath Perfect for grounding and full-body relief • Bundle dried roots in muslin or cheesecloth • Steep in hot bathwater for 15 minutes before entering • Let the soak draw out toxins and ease tension ⸻ The roots are more than just the anchor of the plant. They are its memory, its foundation, its quiet miracle. By using them, we honor the entire lifecycle — nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose. This part of the process is new for many growers, and I truly encourage anyone reading this to try saving and reusing the roots. Dry them, process them gently, and let them offer you one final gift. Much love to Aptus Holland, Plagron, Autopots, and PRO-MIX — this wouldn’t have been possible without their harmony working underground while the beauty bloomed above. 🌱 The Gift That Keeps Giving: Reusing the Soil As we say goodbye to one incredible season, we begin quietly preparing for the next. But not everything gets thrown away. In this garden, nothing is wasted. Just like the roots, the soil gets another life. After each harvest, I carefully remove the remaining roots and break up the soil. I inspect it, rejuvenate it with compost and beneficial microbes when needed, and most importantly, I repurpose it — giving it a second life in my outdoor veggie garden. Why do I do it? Because this soil has already done something extraordinary. It has supported life, held moisture, breathed air, balanced nutrients, and fed plants that became medicine. It’s not just dirt — it’s a living ecosystem. And to throw it away would be to ignore its potential. In my veggie garden, this recycled soil now nurtures cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes, and so many other little miracles waiting to unfold. It’s a beautiful way of continuing the cycle, taking all the energy and intention that was once used to grow cannabis and transferring it into growing food. 🌞🍅🥒 🌾 The Benefits of Reusing Soil: • Sustainability — less waste, less environmental impact • Cost-effective — no need to constantly buy fresh medium • Soil memory — rich in organic material, microbial life, and structure • Nutrient potential — amended soil still holds value for many plants • A deeper connection — a way to honor the entire cycle of growth When we reuse our soil, we’re not just being resourceful — we’re believing in tomorrow. We’re trusting that what we’ve built can be rebuilt. That what has been used can become useful again. That from what seems like an ending, something new can always emerge. And maybe that’s the most powerful message of all in this journey: Planting is believing in tomorrow. 🌍🌱 Every seed in the ground is a little act of faith. So as this season comes to a close, the first tomatoes have been planted. The cucumbers are reaching for the sun. The courgettes are settling in. And the same soil that once gave us dense, resinous flowers is now feeding the vegetables that will grace the table. From harvest to hope — the cycle continues. And it’s beautiful. 🎉 The Final Touches Fun fact: • Trimmed on May 25 • Photo shoot on May 26 • This report: May 27 • Dry Bud Exclusive Photo Set: Coming soon Stay tuned — the next upload will be something special, just in time before the Eternity Grow Cup closes on May 31st. ⸻ 💚 Thank You To Zamnesia — your genetics were nothing short of extraordinary.

Close to the finish line..

Purpling on one plant, lots of light-colored fan leaves on the others. The buds keep growing and maturing. The seed source says 9 weeks but I am aware they often take longer. I wonder if the top buds will eventually grow to the size of the preflower buds.

Recyklated soil from biobizz light mix from last round with biobizz pre-mix and new perlite added. I bought trichoderma too and mix to the soil. Clear water this week, PH is between 6,1-6,5

Lots of trimming, trimming and trimming.

สัปดาห์นี้ยังไม่พบปัญหาใดๆแต่ก่อนหน้านั้นมีต้นที่ตายไปเกินจากแมลงกัดที่โคนต้นก่อนที่จะเปลี่ยนลงถุงปลูกก็มีบ้าง เพราะว่าข้าพเจ้าปลูกไฟแต่เอาไว้นอกบ้าน ใช้ลมธรรมชาติ อากาศสภาพบริเวณโดยรอบ ไม่ร้อนครับ แขวนไฟใบพัดไว้ดวงเดียวเพื่อให้ได้ชั่วโมงแสงเพิ่ม สภาพอากาศชื้นจัดแดดไม่มี เพราะอยู่ในหน้าฝนครับ เท่ากับว่าเราได้ความชื้นเต็มๆต้นก็ดูแลเหมือนจะโตดีเพราะความชื้นด้วย อันนี้ผมเดาเอาเองจากสภาพที่สังเกตุมาครับ 🤗🤣

Last week I fought some yellowing of the leaves. Did some small adjustments on PH to keep it in the 5.6 range. Seemed to stop it from progressing. For Week 3 Veg I topped the plants. I plan to flip the lights at the end of week 3 and move into flower. Day 15 I continued to have yellowing leaves even though I had everything looking right. (Added Pic). I decided to look into the PH to see if I was having issues with it. I have a meter in the water 100% of the time taking a reading every 1 sec. It all looked right. But I decided to Calibrate it in 4,7,10 solutions. Found out that my meter was off. So new to the check list is to calibrate the meter before each grow. I was thinking my PH was High, when in reality it was low. put in some PH up to get it back to 5.5 and over the last 16 hours things look pretty good. Leaves look darker. Day 17 Things are looking good. Leaves are getting darker and new growth coming in. Day 18 Turned room temp down to 73F from 76F. Fearing it is warming up my res tank too much. Day 19 Starting to get yellowing again. checked everything and can't find a good reason for it. Did notice some cloudiness in my res tank. Added 2 ML/Gal of peroxide. have Hydroguard on the way to help. I'll be adding more fans this weekend. I have light air movement currently. Also found a few spider mites and sprayed Greencleaner to all plants. Current environment settings: Room Temp 72.74 F Room Humidity 63.63% (After spraying, Trending down). Room CO2 589PPM Tank PH 5.70 Tank PPM (500 Scale) 953 Tank Temp 74.05 F Day 20 Recalibrated my EC probe just to be sure it was also accurate. wasn't off by much. Dialed back my flooding to every 5 hours to encourage Rooting. <-- Strong roots = strong Plants Sprayed for mites

D29. It's a wee bit early, but I will start counting this week as the first week of flower. The first girl is showing pre-flowers, and the second one is lagging but should soon catch up. I gave each 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.8, mixed with humic acid, fulvic acid, sprouted seed tea, and bokashi juice. More LST and the DLI bumped to 40. ------------------------------ D32. The girls are simply doing their thing. ------------------------------ D35. This has been an eventful week, to say the least. The girls have exploded. Especially the second girl, as she is almost bigger than the first, even though she has been trailing since the start. She is pushing so hard that the nutrition in the soil has a tough time keeping up, which is noticeable due to the lighter green color. It could be the genetics, but I suspect that feeding sprouted seed tea twice during the week also had some part in it. A couple of days ago, I brewed a compost tea for 8 hours – a simple tea consisting of wormcastings, kelp, rock dust, and molasses. Each girl got 2 liters of tea @ pH 6.7, with sprouted seed tea, humic acid, and fulvic acid added to it. The first girl has just started to show the beginning of hedgehogs but none so far on the second. Even though there are no proper flowers, the apartment is still starting to smell quite a lot. I had to turn up the exhaust in the tent, and I'm concerned about how "bad" this might get as we progress into flower. I'm continuing with LST as the girls are growing and stretching. I almost accidentally topped the second girl due to my overzealous wire tightening. Oops... DLI is set to 45, where I will leave it until we're further into flower. ------------------------------

Hallo zusammen 🍀👀, Der Flush ist gestartet und es sieht wunderbar aus! Bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der Größe der Pflanzen und auch mit dem Aussehen. Finde, das Training zu Beginn hat sich ausgezahlt und bin natürlich gespannt wie viel dabei rauskommt :D. Auch dem Dünger kann ich ein großes Lob aussprechen - im Vergleich zu Biobizz hat sich AN auf jeden Fall durchgesetzt. Natürlich hab ich auch im Vergleich zu den letzten Durchgängen eine stärkere Lampe benutzt, was das Ergebnis deutlich beeinflusst. In den Nahaufnahmen sind schon deutlich orangene/braune Trichomköpfe erkennbar, weshalb ich nächste Woche auch ernten werde. Ich danke bis hierhin allen, die mir folgen und mich Supporten. Würde mich riesig über ein Like freuen und folgt mir gerne für weitere Diaries in der Zukunft. Ich lerne auch immer wieder gerne dazu und merke, dass ich mein Können von Diary zu Diary steigere. Nächste Woche kommt wie gesagt ein Report zur Ernte und in den kommenden Wochen dann ein Smoke Review. Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende, lasst es krachen und stay high 🍀😎 LG Wulle

Added 1 tablespoon of baking soda per gallon to watering and we are back to 6.5 24 hours later and holding, Pottasium becomes much harder to uptake with low ph and it was starting to cause yellowing and minor dark spots common from ph potassium deficiency, more understanding I gain of ph and its role to each individual nutrient, I'm going to raise to 7.0. N is the most used mineral in plants, and K is most used in flowers, because of this they both share the big protein highway channels inside the stems, any flow of N then takes "Highway capacity" away from K, I'd much rather have 100 trucks delivering potassium during flower than 60 potassium/40 Nitrogen, simplified rationale but you get the idea. By dropping ph 5.6-5.8 the highways used to transport N&K have real trouble uptaking through the rootzones. Nitrogen & Pottasium are both "Mobile" nutrients, if the plant cannot absorb these nutrients through the rootzone because of ph drop, it can mobilize existing nutrient within the plant and distribute it to new more critical processes elsewhere "new growth" The plant will start to yellow leaves, this is when we hit back the PH to 7 over the course of the week. The plant will look to replenish the chlorophyll that was lost within its leaves and replenish the pigment with whatever pigment would provide the best photon capture for the controlled environment within the grow tent. Factors affecting pigments in plants 1 Genetics 2 Medium PH 3 Temperature 4 Genetics are blueprints/designs held in code 5 The pigment that makes a plant purple is anthocyanin, you must make the plant decide its in its best interest to replace chlorophyll with anthocyanin, I got no purple from these plants' last grow, seems to me you can control the environment the plant will alter the pigmentation to better absorb the high levels of blue/UV in a controlled environment. I thought in previous grows this may have been luck or a genetic fluke. These clones came from a previous grow that did not show any signs of purpling. Unless I got ultra-stoned and took cuttings off another plant which Is a distinct possibility! 6 Anthocyanin production requires energy from the blue/UV wavelength which is harvested by CRY, Phototropin & UVR8 7 Blue light also repairs DNA damage to cells from UV using Photolyases, once I realized this I decided to try 12 hours of UV exposure @ 280nm as opposed to the maximum recommended of 6 hours, previous grows did not cope well with prolonged 6 hours usage, These are fresh bulbs too so they are strong as sheesh, the damage is evident and with the plant under tremendous stress I am in no doubt yield will be affected, I'm not here for yield. 8 Photosynthesis: Rate of energy conversion 9 Photomorphogenesis: Plants show various responses to UV light. UVR8 has been shown to be a UV-B receptor.[11] Plants undergo distinct photomorphogenic changes as a result of UV-B radiation. They have photoreceptors that initiate morphogenetic changes in the plant embryo (hypocotyl, epicotyl, radicle)[12] Exposure to UV- light in plants mediates biochemical pathways, photosynthesis, plant growth and many other processes essential to plant development. The UV-B photoreceptor, UV Resistance Locus8 (UVR8) detects UV-B rays and elicits photomorphogenic responses. These response are important for initiating hypocotyl elongation, leaf expansion, biosynthesis of flavonoids and many other important processes that affect the root-shoot system.[13] Exposure to UV-B rays can be damaging to DNA inside of the plant cells, however, UVR8 induces genes required to acclimate plants to UV-B radiation, these genes are responsible for many biosynthesis pathways that involve protection from UV damage, oxidative stress, and photorepair of DNA damage.[14] 10 95% of uvr8 stress response happens @ peak 280nm this has also been proven to hold a synergistic stress response if coupled with a peak of 380nm. 11 Stress response @ 280nm is 10x that of 290nm. 12 Godfather 34% THC High Times 2022 Cup Winner. 13 Monster-cropped, Super-cropped. 14 Full 12-Hour UV supplemental program. 15 Do not fcuk with UV @ 280nm unless you understand the risks. 16 Do not fcuk with strain unless you enjoy physical/mental paraplegia. 17 It was all the Purpinator! Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a family of powerful antioxidants that fight the effects of aging and oxidative stress. To date, more than 635 different anthocyanins have been identified. (2) What is the color of anthocyanins, and what does this tell us about where we can find them? The definition of anthocyanins is “blue, violet, or red flavonoid pigments found in plants.” In regard to anthocyanin’s structure, anthocyanins are water-soluble, glycoside pigments that can vary in color depending on their specific pH. The exact type of anthocyanin that a fruit or veggie contains is partially what determines how deeply red, purple, violet, blue or even orange it will be. This is one reason why the same food, such as eggplants or onions, can come in many different shades. Here’s the cool thing about most antioxidants: Not only do they benefit you when you eat them, but they also benefit the plants that contain them too. Plants produce phytochemicals like anthocyanin as a protective mechanism; phytochemicals help build plants’ resistance and protect them from being destroyed. For example, anthocyanin can offer a plant protection from being eaten by predators (like bugs, birds or rodents) and from environmental stressors like ultraviolet light, cold temperatures and drought. What do anthocyanins do inside the body once we consume them? We still have a lot to learn to about the exact bioactivity, uptake, absorption and roles of phytonutrients, including anthocyanin. We do know that anthocyanins seem to play a role in fighting free radical damage, which leads to aging and the formation of numerous diseases. (3) Beyond their capacity to fight free radicals/oxidative stress, anthocyanins have many other effects when it comes to protecting cells, tissues and vital organs that we’re still uncovering. For example, research suggests that anthocyanins have positive effects on gut health when they interact with microflora, which can help decrease inflammatory markers associated with many chronic diseases, plus they can support hormonal balance. What are the health benefits of anthocyanins? Some of the conditions that research suggests anthocyanins may help prevent include: Cardiovascular disease and risk factors, such as high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries Cancer Impaired immune function Diabates Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia Symptoms of poor cognitive function, including poor memory and trouble concentrating Fatigue Poor recovery from exercise/physical activity Vision loss Obesity 1. Protection Against Cardiovascular/Heart Disease Overall, many studies have found that having just one to two(or ideally more) servings of anythocyanin-rich foods per day can protect you from problems from high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. While it’s great to have antioxidant-rich foods every day, even having them several times per week can improve your health. One finding from the Iowa Women’s Health Study, which included more than 34,000 postmenopausal women, found that women who consumed anthocyanin-rich strawberries and blueberries once per week or more experienced significant reductions in risk of death from heart disease/coronary artery disease. (4) Another large body of research from the Nurses’ Health Study I and II, which followed over 46,000 women from and 23,000 men for more than a decade, found evidence that the those with the highest intakes of anthocyanin (especially from blueberries and strawberries) had a significantly decreased risk for developing hypertension, myocardial infarction and/or having a heart attack compared to those with the lowest intake. (5) This was true even after controlling for other factors like exercise level, family history and BMI. Anthocyanin benefits for diabetes and pancreatic disorders have also been unearthed in recent years, and again the efficacy is attributed to the multiple, simultaneous biological effects these pigments cause in the body, including prevention of generation of free radicals, decreased lipid peroxidation, reduced pancreatic swelling, and decreased blood sugar concentrations in urine and blood serum. (6) 2. Improved Immune Function Anthocyanin bioflavonoids may provide protection from DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, plus they have anti-inflammatory effects and help boost production of cytokines that regulate the immune responses. They have also been shown to support hormonal balance by reducing estrogenic activity, help regulate enzyme production that aids nutrient absorption, and strengthen cell membranes by making them less permeable and fragile. (7) 3. Protection Against Cancer Research suggests that anthocyanin can decrease the risk of developing various types of cancer due to its antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. This has been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo research trials in humans and animals. Studies show that anthocyanins have the ability to naturally fight cancer by blocking cell proliferation and inhibiting tumor formation by interfering with the process of carcinogenesis. One way anthocyanins inhibit tumorigenesis by blocking activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. (8) Anthocyanin - Dr. Axe 4. Improved Cognitive Function Studies have found that diets high in antioxidants like anthocyanin lead to a reversal in certain age-related deficits that affect neural and behavioral parameters, including memory and motor functions. Anthocyanins have been credited with protecting memory, coordination and neural function in older populations. One study out of Korea found that administration of isolated anthocyanins from purple sweet potato enhanced cognitive performance and inhibited lipid peroxidation in brain tissues in mice. (9) 5. Enhanced Exercise Performance and Recovery Antioxidants seem to improve physical performance by lowering exhaustion and the negative effects of excessive oxygen and radical accumulation during physical activities. In one double-blinded clinical trial that involved 54 female and male athletes, when one group was given 100 milligrams of anthocyanin pills per day for six weeks, the participants in that group were found to experience a significant improvement in their VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption) compared to the second group that received 100 milligrams of placebo pills daily. (10) Some studies have also found that fruit juices that contain anthocyanins, such as 100 percent tart cherry and blueberry juices, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that wind up positively influencing muscle damage following exercise and the ability to properly recover. (11) There’s even evidence from animal studies that anthocyanins consumed as part of a high-fat diet can help inhibit both body weight and adipose tissue increases. (12) 6. Enhanced Vision and Eye Health Anthocyanin has been shown to help enhance night vision and overall vision by protecting the eyes from free radical damage. One study found that oral intake of anthocyanosides from black currants resulted in significantly improved night vision in adults. Research suggests that the enhancement of rhodopsin regeneration and protection against inflammation are at least two mechanisms by which anthocyanins improve sight and protect the eyes. (13)

(39 day VEG)(56 day flower)(107 day clone to harvest) Co2@800 Made a huge difference 70klux is to high lighting. 60-65 was best 87f+ leaf temp is to high in flower - 80did well Hot temps made the leaves ugly Auto irrigation went wrong because the water pressure was not even on all 11 spouts. Two box fans were not enough. It seems more wind make denser buds The plants closer to the fans were denser The Liquid humic acid i think made a small difference. That “Grow More Liquid kelp” exploded growths during veg stage The southern AG microbes did well to keep my roots healthy(once a week) I should have topped the clones at the 3rd node so itd be easier to harvest I lollipopped plants day 1 flower, day 21 flower, and start of week5. I defoliated before flower, day 14 flower, wk7 flower, and 2 days before harvest I want to defoliate the week before harvest and flush 5days before harvest ———————— Harvest Wet Trimmed First 3 days 55%RH then 52-60% for 17 days. Ill split branches to speed drying next time Temp 68F Indirect Fans After Drying: Homemade tumbler/trimmer Pvc pipe inserted into a barrel made from chicken wire and bucket lids tacked together. Sits inside of a tote bucket. The tote bucket holds the trimmings and kief that falls from buds Put into mason jars ——- Weight: 1: 71g 2: 48g 3: 78g 4:41g 5:56g

exagerei na rega até o meio da semana, deixei 4 dias sem rega e recuperaram, umas pelo estresse começaram mostrar défice de fósforo, fiz uma cobertura com torta de mamona, farinha de ossos, esterco de aves, humus de minhoca e calcário. Qual foto colocariam de capa dessa semana?
