For weeks 9-10-11-12: It was now May 2020 and the ambient temperatures combined with no exhaust fans were raising temperatures to almost 30 degrees celcius. Way too much. So I rushed to find an oscillating fan and also a so-called inline fan with carbon filter for the smells that started to develop and for exhaust of hot air, trying to control too high temps.

So this is purple punch from #fastbuds. I started a very early batch for outdoors to see if anything managed to survive to extend/add the outdoor growing cycle, out of 4 seeds only this purple punch managed to survive 3° nights during veg🤗 as small as she is she has a very nice structure and expresses great purple colour on both the leavestems as the buds. Harvesting in may is definetely my earliest ever outdoors

June 28 : Everything is going well with the first two plants—they’re growing very well. However, I’m starting to wonder if they’re really the same strain, because the larger one has fairly narrow leaves, while the other one seems to have much more large indica-like leaves. I’m not sure, what you think about that ?

I welcome you from Russia my friends from different parts of the world. The end of 16 weeks has come. Plants already fully show their ripeness, and buds SAG from their weight. Soon I will be harvesting, as soon as I get the final dry product I will make the last update of this diary.

3rd week of flowering Did a lollipop, took some clones and now I'm making a fungal aerobic tea for the next week. Day 21: Don't know if I defoliate it or not and how many leaves? Just the big ones? Just the low ones? I'm scared lol

😍 Beauty. Empty water with NPK raw enzymes, amino and humic/fulvic. Checking the EC of the pot, ranges vary but overall sitting around d 1.2-1.6ms/cm. I can notice tips on one, ever so slightly yellow, hints that ec is on the line. See how long she can go with just water. So far, so good. They are at that size when the growth snowball really starts to pick up. Upped ppfd, first sign of flower showing on 1 plant. Applied a fair bit of IR, which has stretched the stems; they know if they want to reach the high ppfd they need for flower, then they need to stretch accordingly. All you can eat buffet made to order. Plant perception allows plants to sense the direction, intensity, quality, and duration of light, using this information to direct growth, optimize photosynthesis, and adjust development. This ability to "see" light and respond accordingly is a fundamental survival mechanism. The interaction between microorganisms and the plant rhizosphere creates an active environment that directly contributes to soil electrical conductivity (EC), facilitating nutrient availability and, consequently, enabling better plant growth. A healthy, microbially active rhizosphere acts as a living, conductive bridge that converts locked-up resources into bioavailable, charged particles (ions) that the plant can directly use to grow. Microbes break down organic matter and minerals, releasing ions (N, P, K, etc.) slowly and in alignment with plant needs. Unlike synthetic fertilizers that dump a high concentration of salts at once (causing instant, great EC osmotic shock), microbial processes provide a steadier stream of nutrients. Beneficial microbes produce osmolytes, antioxidants, and signaling molecules (like auxins and ACC deaminase) that help plants manage drought, salt, and temperature stress. Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) create hydrated biofilms around roots, maintaining a more stable water environment. If an excessive amount of soluble nutrients or salts is added (e.g., heavy compost, manure, or excessive mineral amendments), the total dissolved solids can still exceed the plant's tolerance threshold. Intense evaporation, drought, or extreme heat can concentrate salts in the soil solution regardless of how active the microbes are. (Balance). The ability of microbes to buffer the soil is finite. If the input exceeds the biological processing speed, osmotic stress can occur. This is where high CEC comes in useful. Because of this active exchange, the plant creates a localized chemistry that favors what it needs: If the plant needs calcium, it increases exudates that favor calcium solubilization and exchange. The plant can alter the pH immediately around the roots to make specific nutrients more available while locking up others. It doesn't need. The high CEC acts as a buffer against over-fertilization or pH swings. Instead of nutrient antagonism (where too much of one thing blocks another), the microbial activity helps balance nutrient availability. In a high-CEC organic system, the plant acts as a manager, utilizing microbes and root chemistry to pull exactly what it needs from the "bank" of soil nutrients. Nature knows best. I let her feed herself now. If a leaf is photosynthesizing, it makes ATP (via light reactions) and sugars. If a root is respiring, it burns sugars to make ATP for itself. They do not share a common, transferable "pool." While you don't get a "bigger ATP pool" by adding root ATP to leaf ATP, growing organically allows for better energy allocation. In organic systems, mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria break down nutrients. This requires less direct energy expenditure from the plant to seek out raw minerals compared to hydroponics/synthetic, where the plant might have to push harder roots to find uptake points. Healthy, microbe-rich roots need less energy for defense and can focus on absorption. Plants send sugars (made in leaves) down to roots to feed microbes, which in turn bring back nutrients/salt ions to create a EC of 0.5ms/cm. This symbiotic loop means the plant spends less energy on acquiring nutrients, leaving more energy available for building biomass. Leaves make Glucose (Sugar) via Photosynthesis. Sugars travel to the roots. Roots use that sugar to fuel respiration to gain nutrients. Nutrients travel back up to fuel more Leaf growth. Organic growing doesn't create a larger combined ATP pool; it creates more efficient energy usage and resource allocation. Because the plant isn't wasting energy fighting for nutrients or managing osmotic stress from synthetic salts, it has more metabolic energy left over to put into growth. High Transpiration Rate. Stronger Mass Flow. More water/nutrients to roots. Increased uptake. It is a "pull" system that acts as the primary conveyor belt for plant nutrition.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Plants still looking good from last week, the yellowing has seemed to stop spreading, still some dull green in some leaves, I think I was under feeding them, but runoff says otherwise. Noticed some more pink/purple stems on the plants and decided to increase the phosphorus content in the feed by mixing in half grow and half bloom from the nutrient lineup. I'd use the PK booster I have but its to high in K for my liking. The entire lineup is very high in K. mixing grow and bloom gives a NPK ratio of 7-7-14 then done 1:1 equal parts. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 Run off was a bit high for my liking but only seeing minimal signs of nutrient burn. Still watering once with feed and runoff and then later in the week with water and no/little runoff for my watering cycle.The number in the nutrient section are wrong but the EC and ratio are correct. Also impressed the roots have started popping out the bottom of the container already after only being transplanted for a week. Good root growth on these ones. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Absolutely amazed by this genetic. Grew flawlessly and stacked some serious nugs. She ended up purping nicely and had reds and pinks as well. I've never grown something so greasy and the 👃 it's absolutely amazing!!! It's a very sour pine with a peppery lemon aroma.

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by. The start of this journal is a little overdue, but real life gets in the way sometimes and I kept having to delay. I initially had planned to run the Samsquanch OG strain from Mephisto and had even started a journal, but I had some issues starting off and the seeds just didnt take well for whatever reason. I tried to germinate my last 4 of those seeds after the originals failed, but only 1 came up. Still cant figure out what went wrong, but instead of waiting and ordering new seeds I decided to pop these freebies that they game me and the girls had absolutely zero issues and are off to a great start! I transplanted into the net pots on 10/20 (Day 4) after some nice long roots came out. I top fed for a few days until my roots were reaching down through the net pots. Everything is running pretty optimal thus far! Light is set about 40inches away 40% power right now. Daytime Temp is 78f and night is around 72-73f. RH is 62-65% EC 0.5

2024/01/19 : plant looks healthy, 5th node is deploying, I can see 6th, even tiny 7th... so I decided to top. Back to 10 cm... 2024/01/20 : mainlining starts today, 2024/01/22 : ML's going on, watered with elycitor (1 g/L). 2024/01/23 : sprayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night to help a little 2024/01/24 : blueberry takes all this like a champ, it has 2 bodybuilded main stems. Now waiting for 4th nodes on each stem for 2nd top... 2024/01/25 : watered with molasses (1 mL/L), I can see baby 3rd nodes...😀

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 17/02/2020 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,2ml of each: Cal Mag (Atami), Grow, Bloom and Max, and 0,5ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed some run off, I use about 1/4 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 100/150PPM (500 scale). She's starting to smell like smelly feet. 22/02/2020 - Last feed, gave her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,2ml of each: Cal Mag (Atami), Grow, Bloom and Max, and 0,5ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed some run off, I use about 1/4 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 100/150PPM (500 scale).

Erste Herbstwoche ist ohne Probleme überstanden. Starker Regen hat die Blüten komplett durchfeuchtet, aber am Folgetag mit Wind und Sonne wieder komplett getrocknet. Unter der Last des Regenwassers haben sich einige Ruten extrem gebogen, aber keine ist gebrochen. Die kräftigen, gut durch Wind trainierten Äste tragen die Dolden💪. Die buds von Larry sind schon schön dick und harzig. AK hat ordentlich zugelegt, obwohl es recht kühl war. Es läuft immernoch erstaunlich gut 👍 bis nächste Woche ✌️
