Following The Grow Boss tips on YouTube "...yield is based on light, quality is based on growers talent" "...number one problem is, too much light, too much water, too many nutrients" Nutrients : (after having issues with nut burns, I decided to use Grow Boss's perfect ppm calculator) Invasion T (Glomus intraradices BEG72 and TRICHODERMA atrovide MUCL45632) 1g / plant Monster X mycorhizes (500 000 propaguls / Kg , made in vitro) 2g / 20cl then complete to make 1l Humic Fulvic Booster (humic and fulvic acids) 1ml / 1l Cannazym 2.5ml / 1l Rhizoponics 0.4ml/1l Lights: 2 x Adjust-A-Wings Avenger 600w HPS Lumatek 90000 Lumens 1000PAR 600w HPS Philips Son-t Green Power 95000 Lumens Soil:Platinium Royal Mix premium quality What is vapor pressure deficit? Often, marijuana growers who have their plants in indoor grow tents or rooms with artificial lighting, take into account parameters such as temperature and relative humidity to maximize plants growth and bloom, thus obtaining abundant harvest with top quality flowers. As we will see later, these factors affect different processes of the plant, such as transpiration or nutrient uptake. However, we usually forget about another important factor that is related to the aforementioned ones: vapor pressure deficit or VPD. Broadly speaking, VPD is the difference between the amount of water vapor that the atmosphere is able to retain (which depends on temperature) and the amount of water vapor contained in it (relative humidity). It is usually measured in kilopascals (kPa). Providing our plants with a correct relationship between temperature and relative moisture will keep us on the right VPD parameters, increasing the plantโ€™s activity and thus improving its growth and showing its full potential during the flowering phase. The ideal would be to adjust both parameters (temperature and humidity) to get the best possible VPD value, so that the development of plants will be amazing.In the chart above you can see the right temperature and moisture values to maximize the development of cannabis plants. The green zone shows you optimal values of VPD, in which it would be ideal to maintain the environment. The orange zone shows correct values, in which plants should not have problems to develop normally. However, red areas show values in which your plants will be very far from hit their full potential, since the relation between temperature and moisture is not optimal. With relatively high values of VPD (between 5 and 12) plants tend to open their stomata and release a considerable amount of water vapor into the environment (increasing their transpiration). This increase in transpiration results in an increase in the plantโ€™s photosynthetic activity, which will need more nutrients and will improve its overall growth, both during growth and bloom. The best range is between 7.5 and 10.5, which we have marked in green. However, we must be careful that VPD is not too high (dark red zone) since the plant would close its stomata to avoid releasing too much water vapor to the environment, which would result in fast dehydration due to excessive transpiration. On the other hand, if VPD is too low (light red zone), the plant will also close its stomata for not releasing more water into the atmosphere, which in this case would be already saturated (it would have reached the maximum water retention capacity in a specific temperature). In this way, reducing transpiration will also reduce photosynthesis, which has a direct impact on the plantโ€™s development and yield. That way, VPD is essential when it comes to offer the best conditions for the development of plants, also to understand its water requirements according to the nutrients used and thus adjust them correctly to meet the growerโ€™s expectations.

This week has shown some nice growth, and gained some height too. The leaves are a lush healthy green colour, there hasn't been anything to do this week apart from watering, and this is what I gave this week. 20.8.25: I watered with 1.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; ๐Ÿ’œ 2ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 340 24.8.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with; ๐Ÿ’œ 1ml Flourish PH: 6.6 PPM: 315 29.8.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; ๐Ÿ’œ 2ml Trace PH: 6.5 PPM: 321 Thanks for stopping by this week and hanging out ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸŒฑโœŒ๏ธ

Hello, everyone. This week went great. We pruned our girl and took clones from her. Once the clones take root, we'll transition our girl to the flowering stage. Thanks to everyone who follows my diary, and thanks to those who don't forget to leave likes and comments.๐Ÿ’ช

Colombian Jack's buds got girthy this week like almost double what they were last week. Hard to get a picture because of the leaves but these are gonna be some soda cans. the are making nice cones and stacking up top and down below. smelling super good too. Pineapple terps for sure. Starting to get curious about microclimates in my tents, the Euphoria i grew in the same spot last year had pineapple terps, and my white widow, green poison, and witches wedding grown in same spot in the other tent all showing similar expressions. Flowers stacking hard and Still drinking 6-8 gallons of water every 3 days. Getting oranges hairs and resin production is ramping up. I was able to get a batch of boogie brew in this week. I also went ahead and added the bee pollen I was curious about. It has lots of ammino acids, and so does the fish fertilizer i have but I don't like using that in flower so maybe this could help. Its been sitting around for years and says its expired in 2019 though i don't think it ever really goes bad unless it moldy or something. I figure at worst I piss off some people for being curious. So i dissolved it in some water and added about a cup to about 40 gallons of water. Each plant got roughly 1/4 cup. I been pushing these plants to the limit. I haven't been wanting to turn my lights down because they are helping to keep my humidity in check. Even been running the de-humidifier day and night now. Also been trying to go an extra day between watering to keep the humidity down as well. it was over 90 percent humidity much of the weeks outside. The thermostat got messed with mid week and temps in the tents got to 92 again a few hours at the end of their day cycle. I think this week I will adjust the lights to turn off 30 minutes sooner, and try to get them to start drinking a little less water

Easy grow just like her sisters, except she didn't start flowering until week 6. She stretched pretty well during flowering and was the closet to the big fan I had in the tent. She was able to withstand the full brunt of wind and flourish from a young age. She currently is drying so I will update you with the flavor/affect once she is cured๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

The grow was super easy, rapid growth and incredible strength, no deficiencies..fed 3/4 strength General Hydroponics nutrient line. Ended up topping her two times on multiple branches, giving her a total of 11 tops. Overall medium height with an amazing manifold and thick stem. Harvested on day 62, with a 10 day flush and no darkening stage. An absolutely great strong structure being able to hold it's weight of 132 Gramsโš–๏ธ๏ธ. Right up until harvest day when I went to move her she finally bent but never broke or snapped ๐Ÿ’ฏ. Will be in my constant rotation. Recommended completely ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hi, this week i checked the trychomes and They are cloudy and the cheese is showing Here and there a little amber trychome. So I started flushing the plants each 2 days with 1.5l per pot and Collect the run off i dont have a ppm meter but every time i flush the water is getting clearer. I am doing this intik the trychomes are 10% Amber on the whole plant. Of you have Some tips let me know!

26.12.24: These are my 2 best plants P1 and P2 Purple Punch, they are looking great! Not sure what happened to P3. They are in early flower/ pre-flower with the pistils clearly seen on P2. I am also hoping to tie some of the branches down to help light penetration on the lower canopies. I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! ๐Ÿ˜ there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary ๐Ÿƒ โœŒ๏ธ

Had a calcium toxicity from trying out a couple Nectar For The Gods supplements I got in a free sample kit from them. I looked then up and their whole lineup is calcium based so that makes sense. I flushed the pots out really well and then I brewed a compost tea with earthworm castings, green compost, humus, seaweed extract, humic acid, fulvic acid, kelp powder, some malted barley, NFTG Zeus Juice, Primordial Solutions Sea Green, a little Hyshield, some Europonic Nitrozyme, Europonic Fossil Fuel, and then some blackstrap molasses and brown sugar. I brewed it for 40 hours and then I added 1 cup per gallon of water and fed all my plants with it. They all perked right up. They seemed to love it.

Day 49 Flower Hey Growers. I did a flush last week to get my runoff closer to 1050. Iโ€™m not sure why this happens that I get tip burn doing FFW. Maybe I start ramping up flower nutes too much too quickly. I have tip burn on my Blue Dream too. Iโ€™ve gotta come up with a solution as it buggers everything up. Flushing and Dealing with tip burn instead of packing on size. This is a 10 wk strain so Iโ€™m not as concerned cuz thereโ€™s lots of time and I think I got ahead of it. The nugs are smaller, marble to golf ball sized but hard as a rock already. The smell is of over ripe lemon when it get that sweet and Hazey earthy woody characteristic. Iโ€™m going to feed 2 more weeks and try the Advanced Nutrient Overdrive that I have kicking around. Then flush heavy for 1 ish weeks and hopefully get a nice fade. The Vipar spectra XS2000 is doing a great job, it has me wondering if I could use it to flower a 4x4 of autos. Its super strong. My poor manโ€™s light mover has the plants getting a ton of light every other day with a nice rest in between. There is no light burn or yellowing, a tiny bit of leaf edge curl that goes away during its rest day. I am very happy with this light and know itโ€™ll blow up whatever I run in here next. Happy 420 & Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ
