Hallo fellow growers. Happy to be in week 3 of veg with Cookies Gelato . I def enjoy how they are developing into something beautiful. Hopefully with all the love there getting They will continue to grow happily โ˜บ๏ธ I maybe going to be doing some Topping at one of plants in the end of the week and start little LST test with the LST clips see if they work Day 15 Veg Phase ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘ Day 16 Veg Phase Today i am going do some LST test on the cookies gelato #2 . The other plant i am going to leave alone for now #1 is going a lil slower then #2 and maybe i am going to do nothing to #1 and see if there is a difference . I am still learning and want to try out all Dif grow techniques . Also later today i have topped the #2 too hope it all goes well Day 17 Veg Phase I think topping has worked will see in few days if heals up quickly so far so good ๐Ÿคž Also the soil was way to dry and i think i put almost 1 liter per plant extra the sides where bone dry and that is not good for roots to move true dry soil Day 18 Veg Phase Overwatering was not harmful at all they are still growing strong . So i might start giving them more water every 24 hours then they would normally get . Also i recommend the LST CLIPS ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ Also have bin LST the main on both plants Day 19 Veg Phase I have bin pulling the main on both plants further to the side bit by bit don't want to overstress them . It will also be the only thing i am Going to do to the plants. And let topping heal and the LST on the main get more of a bend . The LST clips going to use later in stage Day 20 Veg Phase Did some more LST on main of plant #2 Plant #1 got topped and some more LST Day 21 Veg Phase Leaving the girls alone today to let them heal and grow Have nice weekend growmies ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿค˜

Day 0. Look who is back ;))))) Most stupid run ever from all my stupidities;))))) Ex Green Tea bag and hopefully that girl will heal my ungrowers depression;)))) Suicide run, but I am ready ! My windows even look to west, so no direct sunlight for that girl, let's see !!! Soil from my ex green house( to green house it went after growing indoors, so third cycle for same Biobizz AllMix soil) All feed I showed, will be a punch of each to soil and then a bit mid veg and potash in mid flower Maybe will watch pH, still thinking ;)))) This grow dedicated only for this : https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/Tiny-Pot-Seedsman?utm_source=Grow+Diaries&utm_medium=Chat%26newsletter&utm_campaign=Best+Rarest+%26+Smallest+Pot&utm_id=Best+Rarest+%26+Smallest+Pot Never understood policy, why companies push growers into uncomfort to show off good strains, stupid no ? ;)))) Day 6. Still no movement, so i pop one more to the pot a bit aside from first one, its cold at home for growing for sure ;))) ill give a week from now and then rethink if nothing starts ... New Day 0. Seed has brownish root, either light pollution or pH. Didn't regulate pH, so most probably second... Still don't know what caused issue of first two attempts, bought pH +- and Ecothrive bacteria, just 4 months ago I gave everything away , even sent light to Germany recently .... now 15ยฃ spent again .... :)))) that b$tch has to bring 10g or its a bust ;)))))))) Happy Growing !

Views expressed are my own. All opinions are my own. The opinions expressed here belong solely to me and do not reflect the views of Growdiaries or Grandcru Genetics. The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. Grand Cru Genetics is a cannabis seed bank that emerged in 2018 from a group of breeders in Madrid to provide a satisfactory experience to all cannabis users. "If we do things, we do them well. Due to our experience in the sector and our taste for excellence, we know high quality and we seek it in everything we propose and do." "We have a โ€œcultivate without giving upโ€ philosophy that we apply to everything we do. We do not give up, we are friends of change, and we adapt as necessary in a still restricted sector." "We speak relaxed because we know how to relax. We are not intense or preachy; we accept everyone as they are, and we understand that farming is not for everyone. But for those who do, we are here to accompany you. We like to do it and tell it. We are experts in the field because we are the first to do it. We speak from experience and connect with others because we share the passion for cultivation." "Cannabis has the ability to show us a world of possibilities. When you cultivate and live its growth process, you enjoy a path full of emotions and not just the final destination. At Grand Cru we find beauty in small things. We are attentive, observant, detail-oriented and aware of everyday things, and we savor them without rushing." In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. I think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, the RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level I set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches the desired RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always release more water into the air; therefore, the RH% of the tent overnight will increase, as long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential, which will work wonders with mass flow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77ยฐF.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

Day 36 preflower stage, should see buds forming within the next several days or so. WE ARE AT WAR!!!! Applied a pouch of nematodes to every pot to kill the fungus gnat at its larval stage. Which has been gnawing on my roots! Increased the sticky traps to trap the flying f*<|{ยฃrs. Will reapply more nematodes in 10 days to kill the next generation. Then hopefully thatโ€™ll be all! Donโ€™t overwater folks. Fungus gnats suck! Hopefully last hiccup of the grow. Cheers everyone. Good luck on your grows. Day 41 and Iโ€™d say weโ€™re officially in flower. Seein those hairs real good now. Weโ€™re still experiencing a rather annoying fungus gnat infestation which has really stunted these ladies. This is entirely my own doing by more than likely overwatering them, creating the problem. Sighsโ€ฆ lower stems grew considerably, which has me optimistic as to the potential yield. I wonโ€™t know till stretch is over to gauge my yield. Hopefully Fastbuds amazing genetics can help me fix my f up. ๐Ÿคž Day 45 and were on our second round of treatment with nematode packs. I have moved the grow lights up substantially as to hopefully help with the discoloration of my leaves. I believe it to be light stress from the lightening around the edges and some brown tips. Some of them are curled upwards so thst could also be nutrient burn. I have asked a question about it to hopefully get the help of someone more experienced than iam. Good luck growing my friends๐Ÿป Day 48 I ripped open my nematodes packs and mixed in the first couple inches. The top few inches of soil are now aerated better. Hopefully things will improve. Seem to look better since I moved the light up. Stretch ladiesโ€ฆ stretch watering at 6.0 to hopefully lower the ph of my girls. I could do the viniger method? Or sulfur. Comment and let me know how you lower the ph of your soil?

Elegance in Bloom ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒธ My second Red Hot Cookies has officially entered Week 2 of bloom, and sheโ€™s already proving to be a real gem on the balcony. Compared to her taller sister, she may have started more compact and controlled, but now sheโ€™s stretching gracefully, stacking sites, and presenting all the traits I love about this strain. Her structure is even and balanced, and her leaves carry that deep, lush green that signals health and vitality. ๐ŸŒฟ She took well to her training earlier on, and now in flower sheโ€™s rewarding that work with a broad, light-friendly canopy. The pistils are starting to push through in abundance, promising a fine display of frosty bud sites in the weeks ahead. Watching her transition into full bloom is a joyโ€”thereโ€™s something magical about this stage where the energy shifts from pure growth into pure production. โœจ Feeding & Environment Notes for the Week: ๐Ÿ”ธ BioBizz Grow โ€“ 3 ml/L ๐Ÿ”ธ BioBizz Bloom โ€“ 2 ml/L ๐Ÿ”ธ BioBizz TopMax โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐Ÿ”ธ CalMag โ€“ 0.5 ml/L steady to support strong cell walls ๐Ÿ”ธ Dechlorinated tap water for all mixes ๐Ÿ”ธ pH: 6.1 ๐Ÿ”ธ EC: 1.8 mS/cm So far, sheโ€™s responded beautifully to the transition. No signs of stress, no hesitationโ€”just steady upward growth and early bud development. If she continues at this pace, I expect her to become a dense, bushy producer, with multiple tops forming into thick colas. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿƒ This strain never fails to impress me, and Iโ€™m especially excited to see how Red Hot Cookies #2 will shine in comparison to her sister. Each one brings its own personality, and thatโ€™s part of the charm. With bloom fully underway, the stage is set for her to show what sheโ€™s truly capable of. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hereโ€™s to strong pistils, chunky bud sites, and the unmistakable sweet-spicy aroma thatโ€™s soon to follow.

7/18: I was a little worried about the girls over the weekend because they started drooping and the leaves twisting. I gave them a good feeding of Big Bloom and they've completely bounced back. I switched them over to 12/12 Sunday night and lifted the lights a bit. So far... extremely happy with this grow. Best one yet so far. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ 7/19: The bf did another large defoliation. I'm crying. Buwahhahaha jk... I hate it but of course I know it has to be done. 7/21: Of course my girls have already bounced back like the bf hadn't even touched them. They're doing pretty awesome right now. I'm very happy. I lifted the lights up some but boosted their power SLIGHTLY. Will be alternating Big Bloom, pH'ed water only, Calmag, pH'ed water only Calmag, pH'ed water only, Big Bloom for the duration of flower until a few weeks before harvest then pH'ed water only for flushing purposes before the harvest. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜š 7/23: The girls are thriving with my feeding, watering and calmag schedule. I'd attempted to tuck some of the branches again under the net but they aren't having it. They popped themselves right back free lololol ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘Š

On average flowering technically truly begins 7 days after 12/12 switch...i waite 7 days because plants dont instantly Flower right at 12/12 switch most take 4-8 days to start actually flowering...it takes time for the hormones to be triggered and start taking effect, so i waite 7 days an consider that the transition period...i suggest waiting on any bloom boosters until after the transition period..also ((Brut worm casting and natures living soil is mixed into soil at listed rates not mixed into water water, all other nutrients are mixed with distilled water.))

This week I just flushed the plant. I think I could have feed nutes the first day of this week, but I decided to flush from the first day, something to improve next time. I think I should have given the last flush one day before harvest instead of 2 days after, I felt that the coco was a bit too dry and the steam was not as moist as the previous harvest, this would have been great if I was doing 14 days dry, but I'm doing a 30 day dry, so this extra moisture would be great. The last 4 days the lights were turned off, as a consequence, the humidity went up the last 4 days, around 56-58%, I don't think I will do this next time. The total flower period was 72 days, according to Barney's farm it would take 60-65 days, I feel that those values are very accurate, my personal circumstances made me take a bit longer, but I barely saw any amber trichomes at harvest day. DAY 152 - Water PH - 5.83 PPM- 777 Solution Temp - 23 Watering Volume - 4L DAY 153 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 783 Solution Temp - 21.6 Watering Volume - 3L DAY 154 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 793 Solution Temp - 21.7 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 155 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 809 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 156 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 810 Solution Temp - 22.7 Watering Volume - 2.5L DAY 158 - Water PH - 5.91 PPM- 587 Solution Temp - 17 Watering Volume - 3L
