Start week

Week 4 of veg, lst done on them before flipping to flower

A note on last weeks goals: - Continuing LST has been very easy with this girl. Following a VPD chart and keeping a good environment has been key to establishing a successful low stress training regiment. In the last week I decided to use stainless steel nuts and bolts as weights. I tie them to the end of the side branches rather than tieing them down to the side of the pot. This makes it easier to water.. I will use this technique again, I really like it. I also pull my plants out of the tent and place them in a tote to water them and inspect them. - I've been playing with my CO2 generators .. adding more yeast, less sugar etc.. the highest CO2 concentration I've been able to achieve is 1050 ppm. With that in mind i will probably purchase a rotometer and a CO2 tank for future runs. Furthermore I think that the yeast and sugar combo could lead to an infestation if in not carefull (bugs are attracted to sugar and yeast). I have noticed my plants are praying for 15 hours a day though and I think the CO2 has been a game changer through vegetation. A note on my environment: I decided to add photos of some of my gear for my garden. This grow I decided to swap my intake and exhaust fan placement. With putting my exhaust on the FLOOR, the air in my tent is drawn from upwards towards the floor. This gives my plants proper contact time with the CO2. It also takes the heat from the top of my tent and pulls it downwards acting as a heat source for my crop... In my pictures you will notice my 4 inch inline fan and my 6 inch inline fan are attached to a secondary room. This helps me draw fresh air while releasing my exhaust away from my tent room. WHEN GOING INTO FLOWER I turn up my intake fan to get cool air to the top of my tent. The exhaust draws it down cooling my tent when the lights are turned up in the last stage of flower. As a new grower this has been the step to changing my entire grow. Everything is much healthier and I owe it all to my environment, and Fastbuds genetics. One more thing: I almost burnt my house down and electrocuted my ass with a cheap water heater... careful while playing with electricity and water 🤣🔥🔥⚡️ Next week's goals: - Turn up lights slowly - Continue to play with CO2 generators to try and achieve 1200+ ppm concentration - Continue training and defoliation - keep up pest management.. these fungus gnats keep trying to regroup and they're starting to hurt my feelings.. I get rid of them in my tent but they keep coming back! The bud sites are stacking nicely, I'm getting excited she starting to remind me of the Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz auto when she went into flower...and that was the best plant I've ever grown 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Happy growing everyone!

1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

Not much to say the one on the right seems to be going into to flower or stretching more then the on on the left we turn the light up to 100% this week nows just a waiting game. Plants are a bit green we shall see

Week 13 – Day 90 / FLO 61 🌞 Temp: 24°C 💦 RH: 44% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.6 ⚡ EC: 0.2 💦 H2O: 700ml/24h Berry Crusher harvested at 61 days. Tall plant, good yield. Nice, subdued scent of RS11. Sweet, berry-like with a touch of forest notes ?🌲

Despite germinating almost a week later, this seed seems totally fine and, once again, very uniform. Since I needed to get the BioBizz line-up to keep up with the two older F1s, these younger plants now benefit from earlier nutrient feeding. Ideally, I would like both younger Epsilons to be slightly smaller than Epsilon No. 1, as they would then both be able to fit into this giant pot without the need for any stress or intervention. But we shall see how things develop over the next few weeks.

Per questa settimana hanno mostrato una bella crescita anche loro sono state toppate e pulite al primo nodo, ho aggiunto un pizzico di radicante per aiutarle a superare lo stress dell allenamento ma ho visto che si sono riprese bene quindi vediamo se tra una settima riusciamo a cambiare luce anche a queste Gorilla Glue 🦍

Кусты зацвели.За неделю 2 куста из 3 вытянулись аж на 30 см. Один куст почти не прибавил в росте, он на переднем плане фото и видео. Те что выросли- приобрели фруктово-цитрусовый аромат, и у них черешки листьев стали краснеть. Чтож, моего гроубокса явно мало для трёх растений. В будущем попробую автоцветы на балконе посадить, интересно как они там себя покажут.

4' semaine de floraison le stretch est fini. Elles ont 65 jours dont 26 jrs de floraison, la semaine ces bien passés j'ai enlevé les derniers apparition de couilles j'espère. J'ai fait une petite taille des feuilles pour la lumière et enlever les bourgeons trop bas ou pas assez formé. Réglages culture inchangé juste descendu le système à 40cm pour pouvoir avoir un PPFD ~800 et 34 DLI . Vu la chaleur en ce moment elles on eut 3 arrosage de 1.5L avec une EC de 200 (0.7 enzymes, 5ml terra Bloom, 1ml PK13, 0.5 Green sensation) Merci aux Growmies qui me suivent ✌️, bonne semaine de croissance à vous les p'tites ✋️ vertes 🌱🌞🌱

Feb 27 I changed the light cycle to 18/6 a few days ago and surprisingly have seen the plants perking during sleep. Orange Sherbet is growing really quickly, I'm going to start Low Stress Training here soon to get these other stems some light.

01.11.25 Day 23 These I have not been giving any attention. I just left them and top them up when needed. However there was one occasion where I left the blue cheese by Expert Seed for too long. Because it was the biggest plant it drank all the nutrient solution fast. I have decided to put them back into the big container as my previous set up. I was trying to use smaller containers to save on water and nutrient solution. We will see if she recovers. 4.11.25 Day 26 Did some training in Bad Azz OG Cheese by Seedsman. Blue Cheese has seem to recovered.

Welcome growfessors 👽 to another episode of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition. Week 5F begins for the ladies and they are looking good! Frosty trichomes are displaying themselves and bud sites are bulking up!! 🌳💚 Thanks for tuning in growfessors 👽🌳💚, tune in again for another episode!

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

Top of the tent. Has a dimmer switch to help regulate temperature. I have it mounted at the top of the tent 55" from top of soil. If it was any lower it would overheat my tent. I also have a 6" inline fan with a 4" carbon filter running full tilt. I also have two 8" fresh air vents pulled out at bottom of tent. It's also reinforced with a wood frame so I can have a lot of negative pressure without collapsing the tent.

9/10/26 Gorilla Cookies — Flip to Bloom, Canopy Surge & Light Adjustment (Week 9 / Day 6 Flower) Vital Stats & Environment * Growth Stage: Flowering — Day 6 (8 Weeks 2 Days total) * Plant Height: 12.0 inches (+3.0" vertical stretch since flip) * Pot Size: 7.0 Gal fabric container * Lamp to Plant Distance: 26.0 inches (Raised +5" from 21" to eliminate photon stress) * Light Schedule: 13h on / 11h off (Flipped Sep 5) Watering & Soil Care Log * Sep 2 (8:01 PM - Day 27 Veg): * 1.0 Gal water (pH 6.5) blended with 2 tbsp fresh aloe slurry to maintain systemic moisture and ease clone recovery. * Sep 4 (1:02 AM - Day 28 Veg): * 1.0 Gal plain water (pH 6.5) fed until reaching 10–20% runoff to wash through any residual salts before the flip. * Sep 5 (12:13 AM - Day 1 Flower): * Switched light schedule to 13h/11h to initiate flowering. * Sep 7 (Day 3 Flower): * Noticed downward leaf curling, edge tacoing, and slight tip burn with the light set at 80% power and 21 inches. Raised fixture to 26.0 inches to reduce light intensity. * Sep 10 (12:02 AM - Day 6 Flower): * 1.0 Gal plain water (pH 6.5) supplemented with mycorrhizae to support the expanding root mass. Grower’s Notes & Plant Observations Flip to Flower & Stretch Phase: Gorilla Cookies has officially entered bloom, pushing upward from 9.0" to 12.0 inches tall. The symmetrical manifold structure has sent all secondary shoots reaching straight up toward the fixtures. Light Distance Correction: Under the new 13/11 photoperiod at 80% power, the 21-inch clearance proved too intense, causing new leaves to taco slightly and show minor tip burn. Backing the light off to 26 inches relieved the photostress, allowing the upper fans to relax and pray normally. Canopy Structure & Health: The central stem has developed into a thick, calloused wooden hub that anchors every primary lateral. Stripping lower undergrowth has kept the root bed breezy and clean, while the upper canopy forms a broad, even blanket of uniform pre-flower tops.
