12/11/22 - Added some more soil to each pot because the top roots were starting to show. Mixed in perlite and diatomaceous earth. Watered and fed, giving bloom nutes now along with everything else. About 1000ppm's. After another week or 2 of stretch, will go in and defoliate hard one last time. 12/12/22 - big overnight growth spurt! Upped the nutes a little bit and they seem to have responded well. 12/14/22 - Watered with plain water. 12/16/22 - not much to report, they are continuing to fill out and stretch. Have had to raise the lights several times the past week and a half. Am anxious to defoliate and really see the buds start fattening up, will do sometime next week. 12/17/22 - gave nutes today. CKM is losing more leaves than I want, but seems to be healthy overall. Will have to keep an eye on that. All are continuing to stretch.

June 13th - Day 115 : Hey guys! So today is the final big day! Harvested the second plant for the tent : The sour Strawberry. Baby looks fucking beautiful but think I could've let it run for another week or two. It gave me aproximately 120grams of dried buds. I like it less than the 420fast buds Banana Purple. Less flavor and the high is kind of mellow. I believe it’s because I didn’t flush it at all before harvesting as I needed the tent for the second batch of babies. Also maybe because I tested the greens 3-4 days before the end of dry. Zamnesia was a first but definitely the last time I'm ordering seed through them

Hot and dry lately, she's getting big! Must of FIM'ed another 8 branches, topped the very top to try and keep the height under control! She's already started showing preflowers which is crazy early to me?! So I'm using a 50:50 ratio of Gaia Green All Purpose to Power Bloom for transition every 3 weeks. Excited to see how much stretch I'll get into flower. If she's starting flowering this early hopefully she'll be done by end of Sept!

This week I kept on feeding as usual. Due to a few burnt leaf tips I then flushed the three bigger plants with 5l each, and got a run off around 1l each with a PH of 6.9 I will only use 40% to 50% of the recommended nutrients the next week and PH my feeding water to around 6.2 - 6.3 to compensate the high PH of the run off. Mid week 2 I also lollipoped the plant again and did a rather heavy defoliation. From now on I only want to get rid of leafs if really necissary By now I can see more pistils forming and flowering is starting slowly.

Hello, friends! It's been an exciting second week of flowering in the Anesia run, and I can't wait to share all the amazing progress with you. Our lovely ladies are well into their flowering stage, and the changes are spectacular! The transition from vegetative growth to blooming is always thrilling, and this week has been no exception. We've adjusted the nutrient mix to support their flowering needs. Here’s what’s been on the menu: Regulator: Keeps plants stress-free and promotes healthy growth. CalMag Boost: Ensures they get enough calcium and magnesium for robust bud development. Top Booster: Enhances flower production and increases the number of bud sites. P Boost: Provides the phosphorus needed for energy transfer and flowering. Watering pH: Maintained at 5.8 to ensure optimal nutrient uptake. TDS: Held steady at 420, giving them the perfect balance of nutrients. The Anesia Beauties 🌟 Each plant is showing unique characteristics, and it's fascinating to watch them develop their own personalities. The buds are starting to form nicely, and the aroma is beginning to fill the air. Future #1: This strain is living up to its hype, with dense bud formation and a vibrant green color. Zoomiez: Looking strong with vigorous growth and promising flower sites. Apricot Oreo: Developing beautifully with a sweet fragrance that’s already noticeable. Red Banana Pudding: The solo survivor is a true champion, showing great resilience and structure. Training Techniques This week, I focused on some light defoliation and training to ensure optimal light penetration and air circulation. These techniques are crucial for maximizing yield and preventing mold or mildew. Maintaining the perfect environment is key. Temperature is kept at a steady 25°C, ensuring the plants are comfortable and stress-free. Humidity levels are carefully monitored to avoid any issues during the flowering stage. I've captured some stunning shots of the girls in full bloom, which I'll be sharing on Instagram. The sight of those trichome-covered buds is truly a feast for the eyes. A huge thank you to: Anesia Seeds for these amazing genetics. Aptus Holland for providing top-notch organic nutrients. Future of Grow LED for the incredible lighting that keeps our garden thriving.

Got final weight of 29 grams. Which is not bad for a plant thats not been touched. I wish i topped or trained this for more yield but still glad with what i got. I would also recommend this for beginners as it grows with ease and minimal maintenance. I smoked a spliff of this today, its only been in the jar for 2 days. The taste can still improve within few weeks. But the high is very strong. 5 star Breeders!! One Love!

Hola a todos!! Esta semana prácticamente no he fertilizado, ya que luego de un breve lavado note que los valores de ppm aun seguía siendo alto..(1700...1800), entonces segui regando solo con agua, con bajas ppm 500 ppm aprox. Recien ayer logre bajar las ppm , no asi el ph, del drenaje, me viene dando 7.2, pero a pesar de todos estos inconvenientes, a la planta se la ve bien. En esta semana se estiro 20 cms, pero los cogollos aun están flacos y sin resina, pero en características generales esta bien. El lavado lo hice el día 44 con 7 litros de agua con ph 6 y ppm 500, luego de un buen rato de drenaje medi y en ese entonces parecían haberse corregidos, pero al siguiente riego dia 46( lo hice con 2lts de agua) me volvió a dar valores altos. Para no generar un mal ambiente para la planta, la deja descansar 2 días, y ayer (dia48) volvi a regar y al fin las ppm han bajado a 900, el ph aun sigue dando alto, pero como mencione antes la planta demuestra que cualquier inexperto la puede cultivar, porque se aguanta todo ese stress😅😅 . El video corresponde al día 49(01/10).

7/3 Hot as fuck today. Japanese beetles were around. I killed a few. I'm going to have to go over and keep an eye on things. It reached 90° today for the majority of the day. I watered around 1pm as I noticed most of the bags were very light. I'm glad I held off on the BT. I've dealt with jpn beetles before so hopfully that won't be an issue. Things are getting big. It won't let me upload any pictures or the video I did. I may upload it to past week. Went back over at night and and plants looked dropy but it was after 7pm and they were just going to sleep. 7/4 Didn't take photos this morning. Found some jpn beetles. That's the damage I've been seeing. I went back over last night to hunt them but I only got two. There weren't any others. No biggie. I'll put some pics up from today after I get back 7/5 Didn't get a chance to check the plants out today. My intuition tingled around 1pm and I had just gotten home and I ran over to check them. They displayed minor signs of heat stress as seen in the pics (due to the super high humidity and 90° weather) and the bags were light. A few were REALLY light. I could see they needed water. I WATERED 4 1/2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. DO TO THE HIGH TENPS AND WINDS IVE HAD TO WATER THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW. IVE SLOWLY STRARTED INCREASING VOLUME. I don't want to water until I get a shit ton of run off because I want to keep the nutes in my soil as long as possible. As you can see things are going great. Minor pests but notjing major. They're growing at a very rapid pace. I'll need to add another layer of supports soon and begin to LST some of these girls. I've got one seedling in a 10 gal and I'm pretty sure it's a feminized red runtz but it's in preflower and looks and SHOULD be a female but I haven't seen the white hair yet. Looks like a female preflower though. I do have one auto though in a 5 gallon tjats doing good too. I have a bunch of pics but the internet is too slow. I'll upload tomorrow. Started pouring around 6. 7/6 Poured sheet rain all night. After it had Bern super fucking hot and I watered my plants with 4 1/2 gallons. Oh well. If I didn't water we wouldn't have gotten the rain. The fabric bags makes watering easier. The wind will dry out the medium. We do have some rain in the forecast. A pallet fell over and knocked my 5 gal bucket with tje auto into a 10 gal seedling but it held the pallet up and didn't damage anything. Out of all the ways it coyldve landed it landed just right to not hurt anything. Everything is super healthy. I do have some random pest damage but it's minimal. I'll decide whether to use a spray or not. Didn't take pictures this morning. Was pressed for time. 7/7 Super hot even at 8a.m. Rained the majority of the day yesterday. Plants are getting HUGE. I'm going to have to build a second round of supports and should probably start some LSTing. They seem to like growing natural how they are (besides the original topping and FIMed. You can tell these are ALL very high % indicas. I'm seeing pistols spitting out everywhere. Event horizon and sherb cake seem to be in the lead. The seedlings have realky taken off. The one I put in the 50 has fan leaves the size of my hands. 7/8 Wow it has been extremely hot. It's going to be in the 90's again today. Checked my plants and it seems the GMOs seem to be using more water. Those bags were a little lighter. Seeing how there is no rain in for a few days I had to water. WATERED 3 1/2 GALLONS. LAST SEEDLING FINALLY SHOWED AS A FEMALE. 7/9 Bags are still heavy. Found ONE jpn beetle this morning. Plants seem to be bigger everytime I look.starying the stretch and spitting out some pistols. I took some pics of the pistles. I'll update 7/10 should've started a new week but I didn't. I'll make next week six days. Plants are starting ro stretch. Minor random pest damage but woth the heat they need lots of water. Noticed a couple dead interior leaves so I should probably go through everything and defoliate. I need to add another layer of supports as well.

Hello Growmies, As we approach the zenith of week 11, the crescendo of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' lifecycle is upon us. In harmony with the symphonic change in colors, their leaves continue the fade, a beautiful degradation that nature orchestrates so well, offering a visual feast that marks the prelude to their grand finale. Each Watermelon Candy, from #1 to #3, has now fully embraced the transition, parading a spectrum of colors from golden yellows to deep purples, like the setting sun giving way to twilight's embrace. The buds, dense and resplendent with trichomes, now resemble crystalline sculptures, each one capturing the essence of our nurturing dedication. The aroma has deepened, each inhalation a tapestry of earth and sweetness, indicative of the rich, flavorful experience soon to be savored. It's a heady bouquet that promises much to the connoisseur and a testament to the TrolMaster's steadfast governance over their environment. Watermelon Candy #1, with its standout bud formation, is a sculpture in botanical form, a true marvel of genetic and environmental synergy. Its siblings, #2 and #3, are not a step behind, flaunting their heavy blossoms with a gravitas that speaks to the imminent harvest. With the harvest scheduled for next week, the excitement is palpable. Our routine remains unaltered; like the beat of a drum leading to the climax of a song, we maintain the rhythm that has served us well thus far. The anticipation of the cut is an excitement unto itself - the final act in our labor of love. Patience is our companion in these final days as we prepare for the harvest. The Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids stand at the ready, soon to transition from their vegetative state to a form that will bring joy and relief to many. Stay lifted, Salokin

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is measured in decisions, not dreams. Dopamine release is not the pursuit of happiness; it's the happiness of the pursuit. "Mens Dei" Cannabis buds can expand or swell in warmer conditions, but this is not necessarily a desirable effect. High temperatures can cause the buds to become airy and loose, reducing their density and potentially impacting potency and aroma. First 4 weeks flower, blazing hot expansion of buds, 4 weeks after cool off? Why?? What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Why? Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Tip. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day. Excess light, for example, can trigger the production of excess antioxidants as part of their defense mechanisms against reactive oxygen species (ROS). The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank that bitch. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Several environmental factors can hinder cellular respiration in plants. These include low oxygen levels, temperature extremes (both too high and too low), humidity, water stress, and the presence of toxins. These factors can impair the function of enzymes involved in respiration, disrupt the availability of substrates, or directly damage plant tissues, thus reducing the rate of cellular respiration. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs* Signum Magnum. Signum magnum Appáruit in caelo Múlier amícta sole Et luna sub pédibus ejus Et in cápite ejus Coróna stellárum duódecim Cantáte dómino cánticum novum Quia mirabília fecit Gloria pátri, et filio, et spirítui sáncto Sicut érat in princípio, et nunc, et semper Et in saécula saeculórum, amen Signum magnum Appáruit in caelo Múlier amícta sole Et luna sub pédibus ejus Et in cápite ejus Coróna stellárum duódecim Cantáte dómino cánticum novum Quia mirabília fecit Gloria pátri, et filio, et spirítui sáncto Sicut érat in princípio, et nunc, et semper Et in saécula saeculórum, amen Signum magnum Appáruit in caelo Múlier amícta sole Et luna sub pédibus ejus Et in cápite ejus Coróna stellárum duódecim Cantáte dómino cánticum novum Quia mirabília fecit Gloria pátri, et filio, et spirítui sáncto Sicut érat in princípio, et nunc, et semper Et in saécula saeculórum, amen Signum magnum Appáruit in caelo Múlier amícta sole Et luna sub pédibus ejus Et in cápite ejus Coróna stellárum duódecim

The pistils on all plants are getting more and more brown, its time to check the trichomes now. I check with a handheld microscope and they are getting milky, but not yet amber, which means they are ALMOST READY TO HARVEST, but not yet. The amount of crystals produced under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps from SANlight is astounding, the plants are coated in trichomes! This week I stopped giving any nutrients in order to FLUSH the plants, this is VERY IMPORTANT in order to get a smooth smoke of the dried end-product. The aroma of the plants is VERY STRONG NOW, they smell mouth-watering. The Shiva Skunk has a sweet, musky smell with a fresh citrus note to it, its a delight to smell those plants. The Serious Kush smells EXTREMELY fuely and gassy, like the OG-Kush, but with an amount of buds like the White Russian, its FLABBERGASTING. I cant wait to try those two strains...😎

6/21 Week 9 Tricones at 50% clear 50% milky She is building so fast we have had to trellis her branches (bamboo and jute) to keep them from snapping even with the SI in her cells. Continuing PK for now hold CocoTek where it is as she is going into her last week of nuets We do not want to start that flush until we are satisfied its time and at the rate she is building it aint today and may not be till the end of the week. We still think this a 300 gram dry plant at least, she seems to be putting on several grams a day of flower so every day is a weeks worth of CBD. 6/23 Pics later Trics at 75% milky 25% clear want more mature before taking away all her nuets Removing PK she is slowing down greatly only waiting on the trics to flush Reduced Lights on to 18 hours Plant and grower 6/24 Reducing lights on to 16 hours Showing off her buds and trics a little 6/25 Light hours were reduced for heat (its hot this week) nothing else. Off during heat of the day. Begin Flush this evening trics are 80+% milky plan on using an agent for the first flush just water thereafter. 6/26 Day 2 of flush no major def yet 6/27 Ok the deficiency fairy showed up last night, seeing mostly CA which does not surprise at all, and Mag. Still she is managing to build a bit of bud.
