Wakíŋyaŋ, I am who I am, the salt of the earth. Thunderbird is an allegory; his conflicts with other forces in nature are then an attempt to allegorize relationships observed in the natural order, such as the changing of the weather. He is essentially an attempt to represent the patterns of activity of a powerful, mysterious force in a way that can be understood simply and easily – sort of the way in which a weather map functions today. Moving from18x60x60 = 64,800 seconds in 18 hours. 64800x860(ppfd) = 55,728,000 umol per daylight. Into Flower 12x60x60 = 43,200 seconds in 12 hours. 43200x1145(ppfd) = 49,464,000 umol per daylight. It's asking a lot of Rubisco regeneration to maintain 50 DLI in the 12 instead of 18. Raised the ambient CO2 to 1200 to 1500 ppm to achieve efficient gas exchange. Not particularly recommended, but adding sugar to an indoor growing medium is a highly effective way to stimulate microbial activity, which rapidly breaks down the sugars and releases CO2 through cellular respiration. You can safely capture this CO2 to fertilize indoor crops and boost photosynthesis. While this process works, the setup requires precise understanding and management to avoid common indoor growing hazards. The plant Carbon to Nitrogen C:N ratio defines the balance between structural carbon (sugars/cellulose) and nitrogen (proteins/enzymes). It acts as a master regulator of plant health, growth, and metabolism. Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the engine of photosynthesis responsible for fixing atmospheric CO2 into sugars. It is intimately tied to the C:N ratio for three primary reasons. It is the Plant’s Biggest Nitrogen Sink, Drives the Carbon Side, and it is the Nitrogen Control Knob. Understanding this relationship allows you to predict how plants respond to environmental stress or fertilizer. Rubisco acts as the primary storage sink for leaf nitrogen, accounting for up to 30% to 50% of a C3 plant's soluble protein. Deep Green Leaves signal a rich abundance of both chlorophyll and Rubisco proteins. The plant possesses the heavy enzymatic machinery required to handle 1145 PPFD. Pale or yellowing leaves indicate a nitrogen deficiency. The plant is actively breaking down its own Rubisco to salvage nitrogen for newer growth, drastically reducing its light-tolerance threshold. Subtle difference, but understanding is important in order to be able to judge when to dial light intensity up and light intensity down, when to push, and when to back off. An extra dose of magnesium is vital if a plant is going to push through the growing pains of high-intensity lighting. Foliar application of magnesium is an excellent and rapid way to assist with Rubisco regeneration within a plant, so long as it is applied correctly. Spray strictly in the early morning or late evening, mixing your magnesium with a little fulvic acid or chelator, but only when she gets a little limey on top. This, for me, is the experience of growing, akin to "riding the surf" maintaining efficient Rubisco regeneration through visual identification of the shade of green. Surf a razor-thin wave when balancing light intensity, nutrient availability, and transpiration to maximize Rubisco enzyme efficiency. Keeping the Calvin cycle fully charged without tipping into nutrient toxicity, light stress, or the dreaded chlorosis requires paying close attention to the visual cues the plant provides. By monitoring these subtle shifts in color, turgor pressure, and leaf posture, you adjust your environmental controls and surf that exact razor-thin wave. Nute recycling acts as the vital execution mechanism for autophagy, which defines senescence. Natural senescence is a genetically programmed developmental stage aimed at nutrient recycling, whereas triggered autophagy is a rapid survival response activated by environmental stress. While both processes utilize the vacuole to break down cellular material, their triggers, selectivity, and overall goals are entirely different. Cannabis plant senescence is not separate from nutrient recycling protocols; rather, nutrient recycling is the primary physiological purpose of senescence, and autophagy serves as the core switch mechanism executing both processes. Takes about 24 to 48 hours to notice visible changes once the signals have initiated the autophagic response. Not too late at all. A little bit of fade from senescence 2 weeks from harvest is normal and genetically expected. Send the C:N 32:1 signal 1 week from harvest for the best effect in your organic grow. Understanding what makes leaves fade is not always senescence, but also strongly linked to Rubisco regeneration. That's a whole other subject. Vital to understand the differences if you want a correct diagnosis and to transition from hobby grower to master stoner, differentiating between a true genetic fade and a decline in photosynthetic proteins. Nitrate is nitrate, whether it oxidizes or not is not up for debate. If it's not sunk by the plant you are smoking some if not all of, it's regardless of what your feelings are on the matter. Senescence is highly critical. It is the natural end-of-life stage where the plant redirects energy to ripen flowers. Properly managed, it breaks down harsh chlorophyll, allowing the terpenes (which provide taste and aroma) to peak. Harvesting outside this window leads to an "unripe" or degraded flavor comparable to going without. To initiate the response you seek, you can trigger it multiple ways, when growing synthetically its triggered by nutrient starvation, generally when the entire medium is flushed. This is more to do with N starvation than being entirely empty. Nonetheless. PK boosters are N starvation through maximizing P and K. (Generally only works for synthetic grows) Normally, a medium only holds 10-30% of its nitrogen as ammoniacal ta part boosts this to 50% as it triggers the "ripen" signal, but you don't want to keep ammoniacal above 30% for more than 7-10 days if you can help it. Its a trigger mechanism no more. PK BOOST with 50% ammoniacal N signals floral maturation. PK BOOST with N starvation signals nutrient recycling/sinking. Because you are using organic nutes and you want to maintain the rhizosphere, what you want to do is add carbon in the form of sugars (powdered molasses). It's almost impossible to empty a medium enough when microorganisms are constantly releasing nutrients into the direct EC. Very difficult to initiate starvation responses with ammoniacal nitrogen. Manipulating the C:N ratio is the key to triggering an autophagic response and resulting nutrient recycling in the last days using organic nutes and without having to flush. Generally not recommended for new growers. So do what you want. But if you don't trigger the plant to dump its nitrates into root zones, you will smoke nitrates as NO3- does not oxidize during the dry and cure no matter what you do or how long you dry or cure. Doesn't matter what anyone "feels" about it, how many grows they had with no fade. "Clover steals valuable nutrients." Crop and drop the clover come flipping to flower, its benefit comes from creating an airy and porous rootzone. I don't need to crop and drop once the plant fills the canopy, she blotches out the light, and the clovers die. This is the nitrogen the microorganisms use to convert carbon for respiration throughout the flowering stage.

Looking sweet. Stretch has now slowed down and there’s plenty of frost starting to show. In a few weeks there’s gonna be some beautiful buds if they carry on like this. Slight bit of burn at 1.2 but nothing major. Still nicking the odd fan leaf here and there to let the light down. Don’t really think it affects them when they’re strong like this and I’d far rather have the light getting down there then not. Roll on next week.

WEEK 16 Everything went quite smoothly this week. Temperatures have dropped a bit, and the plant is looking good. The flower volume is steadily increasing, though I think it will still take about two more weeks until harvest. The trichomes are mostly still clear and milky. Other than that, I’m looking forward to a strong final.

Welcome to Veg Week 5 of Sensi Seeds Karate Kid I'm excited to share my grow journey with you from my Sensi Seeds Project . It's going to be an incredible ride, full of learning, growing, and connecting with fellow growers from all around the world! Karate Kid got a Hard Start and also a lot of Problems After transplanting in her 16litre pot as the only Strain from this Round For this Project , I’ve chosen the Feminized Photo Strain Karate Kid : Here’s what I’m working with: • 🌱 Tent: 120x60x80 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: Sensi Seeds • 💧Strain Info : 25-33% • ⏳ Flowering Time: 8-10weeks

Day 86 - 04.04 - She is still pushing that nice sugary and seems healthy ❤️💛💚

Wappa was a real joy to grow. It stretches enormously during flowering and doesn't require a long vegetative period. The aroma is fruity with a slight hint of vanilla. The buds are very dense.

I have become a voyeur of this plant. She is on her own despite my various attempts to cut, trim, and bend. Likely in her final stretch as the bud growth is now on every branch. I really enjoy just looking at her.

Yoyoyoyoyo party people! It's been week 2 of Flower, the stretch hit HARD! Starting at about 30-ish cm to 43 (with a lot of LST tho) developed an almost nice and even canopy already. Scrog net is always nice, and i highly recommend everyone trying it at least once! So far i only gave Plagron basic nutes and she looks great. I Like the product, contains a lot of product for the price, pH isn't drifting all over. With my light, i need to supply extra calmag, as you can see on the purple branches. I'm ashamed to admit, i've only done 2.5 reservoir changes in 12 weeks 💀 Please do it better. At least every 2 weeks! (or watch week 10💀💀) Already starting to smell something "sus". im excited every day looking into the tent. I hope i can even out the canopy as much as possible and then full on Blast with 40 DLI as much as possible. I adjusted both fans, so i have one below the canopy and one above, hopefully this will improve the wet spots that occur sometimes caused by the high humidity, caused by the high temps) Stats for nerds: DLI 30 inceased to 34 over this week VPD 0,7-0,85 (it was really warm, so i went with a lot of humidity, temps up to 34Celsius and rH 85 kekw Feel loved, take care of yourself, peace !

Super frosty & rock hard buds💥 Delicious terps🤤 Perfect buds leaf ratio

Day 15 - The new week meant a change of water, nutrients and an adjustment of lights. Chong is looking like a short, but sturdy little seedling with broad fan leaves and big roots. Max is 10cm vs. Chong at 7cm and her leaves are perky and the stem is thick. They both look good for their own individual reasons. Looking at the roots specifically, Chong seems to be facing similar problems as Cheech in the Cookies Gelato grow - the aeration in the bucket appears to have “dead zones” because of the colour the roots and the manner in which they are sticking together. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more central in the bucket and cleaned the air tubes because the nutrients stick on the tubes. Other than that, I’ve controlled the PH back down to 6.0 after the addition of the nutrients using the Milwaukee PH controller and decided not to adjust the height of the lights because there was only about 2cm growth this week. Also added the first wire to give Chong a bit of a better bend in her stem, gently starting off the process of LST. Day 20 and the ladies are getting closer to topping. Both are showing clear third nodes with the fourth node opening up. I am sure we will be topping during this next week of veg.

November 16th, 47 days post flip. Plants continue to fatten and have put on some really noticeable weight in the last week. By the looks of things I’m expecting around 10 more days of fattening and than a week or two of ripening before harvest. I will do my final defoliation around mid week this week. Shooting for day 49 or 50. At this point will not be providing anything but water. I still am not seeing any fade so I think she has plenty of what she needs. I did get a chance to add those two smaller fans I wanted to add. This has dropped my temperatures from 82 to 77. This drop should hopefully help preserve terpenes and help prevent mold. The airflow will also help prevent mold. Plant 1(Cherry Chunks): The frost on this one is insane. I also get why they call it cherry chunks, it’s terpenes profile is starting to come through and it is tart in nature; its structure is also very chunk like. Much lighter green compared to the two purple marmalades Plant 2(Purple Marmalade): The resin on this thing has been insane since the very start of flowering. Smells of tropical fruits and guava really looking forward to this one Plant 3(Purple Marmalade): Smells on this one are finally starting to take off, it slept for awhile as far as the smell department went. It is starting to take on a sweet gassy funk kind of smell. Possibly lavender and gas? I’ll have a better idea come next week. The density on these nugs are also insane, look like they are going to explode any second. Purple Marmalade Clones: Growing very well, needs a good defoliation here soon and maybe some craft blend. As always guys thank you so much for following along and God bless!

another resin monster from seedstockers, with a very special scent, full of flavors! grinded it smelled like peppermint, and vaped it has a great sweet creamy taste!

This week was mostly about getting everything ready for the vegetative phase. I will start to add some nutrients this week. I will first flush out most of the old water that has been running through the system for about 2 weeks now. When the plants get a little bigger I will add some nutrients and try get my EC level up to around 0.7 with the help from the very supportive people over at EHG nutrients. They have offered to sponsor me through this grow with nutrients which will be of great help. They are a local South African company, so for any one from South Africa 🇿🇦 please check them out. I have added an oscillating fan to add to the airflow en strengthen my seedlings whilst they start to grow stronger. Due to my humidity being a bit lower than what I want it to be, I have decided to add an air purifier/humidifier which will hopefully add some humidity to the tent. I am aiming for about 65% RH and will be monitoring this closely. My lights are currently at 40% strength. I am making use of a panel heater to break the winter cold and will be aiming to be at around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). I have added an Mycelium bag which is an alternative way to add extra co2 to your grow. This helps the plant to absorb nutrients better and handle the temperatures a bit better. I will be adding photos as the week continues.

Defoliated her a touch. Sort of disappointed the double topping didn’t work as one side is much stronger than the other—- I would of had a very even dense 6 main point canopy, but I’m rolling with 4 and 2 weak. She’s very healthy though. Just keeping up with the lower dose bloom nutes for now. ✌️💚🌿💨

2021-11-26 The Pudding is a real Growmonster! Shes supersturdy and has big thick Branches, and leaves like Sandpaper. She reminds me in a Superskunk Plant She is barely to tame, and weare shortening the planned 12 Weeks of Vegetation to 10 Weeks Vegetation So only looking to get 16 Colas . I managed it to break 2 Tops, 😰, but she looks as if she dont Care 2021-11-28 I made some more Training on the Puddin- to reach the 16 Colas I managed it , without hurting her Iam proud to myself Her stems are so strong and sturdy @Silky_smooth told me to let her dry out a little, then shes easier to tame But i prefer it that way, as always Iam learning by doing so we are coming closer, 3 more Weeks for her in vegetation Big Shout- Out to @urban_chili For sending this wonderful complete Growbox named „urban Chili 3.0“ for our CHARITY GROWOFF @mrs.larimar and me, are using the same Equipment for this entire Grow.

🍋🍇 Air Lemon x Shishkaberry Anfang Woche 11 🍇🍋 Die beiden Outdoor Damen legen weiterhin ordentlich an Größe zu und entwickeln sich genau so, wie ich es mir erhofft hatte. Nach den kleineren Rückschlägen am Anfang haben sie sich an ihrem Standort unglaublich gut erholt. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich damit schon gerechnet, denn die Position ist für die beiden nahezu perfekt. Sie bekommen dort ideale Bedingungen und danken es mit kräftigem Wachstum. Mittlerweile haben die Pflanzen fast das Dach erreicht. Nach der starken Hitzewelle mit Temperaturen von über 40 °C und den anschließenden Gewittern werde ich ihnen noch ungefähr eine Woche Zeit geben, damit sie sich komplett davon erholen können. Danach kommt das Dach weg, damit sie auch von oben die volle Sonne abbekommen und ihr Potenzial weiter ausschöpfen können. Gemessen habe ich sie bisher noch nicht, aber ich schätze, dass beide inzwischen knapp an der 1,70 Meter-Marke angekommen sind. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass wir die 2 Meter Marke noch überschreiten werden, wenn das Wetter weiterhin mitspielt. Es ist wirklich beeindruckend, was diese extremen Temperaturen mit dem Wachstum machen können. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit haben die Pflanzen einige Zentimeter zugelegt und zeigen einen richtig kräftigen Wuchs. Der Geruch hält sich aktuell noch sehr in Grenzen, was vor allem am guten Durchzug an ihrem Standort liegt. Bisher ist nur ein leichter Duft wahrnehmbar, obwohl die Pflanzen bereits eine ordentliche Größe erreicht haben. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich die nächsten Wochen entwickeln und freue mich darauf, euch weiter auf diesem Outdoor Run mitzunehmen. Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und natürlich auch ein großes Dankeschön an Green House Seeds für die Promo-Seeds zu diesem Run! 💚 Happy Growing Growmies! 🌱💚

4/28 MONDAY 330am.... Looking great. All plants growing in an almost perfect square 4/29 3am looking good 5/1 4am Doing great!!!! Did you know that NOT burning your plants makes them grow better???...boring. I better add TONS of supplements. 5/2 12am 8ml Con. bloom. a little left over Grow nutes. 430 am 7Z is strong enough to trim off bottom buds. I usually leave those as early samples not this time. Concentrate all power to 4 solid easy to trim, dry and store. They are ALL STRONG.....WOW the flowers are FAST they really live up to the name and they JUST started they are going to be great if I dont burn them!!!! Great luck with them all!!!!!! 2 pm. Defoliation and bud trimming worked great. 7Z has3 colas that are VERY big and one that is just ok. Im going to think about this for a day or so, BUT I MIGHT chop to a 3 cola grow, get rid of the smaller one and see if that will bring THAT potential energy to the remaining strong colas?????🚨
