This girl has exploded this week new buds whizzing off in all directions , She has just started too go cloudy but no amber as of yet , so I would say I started too flush way too early as she has now been having nothing more than water for the last two weeks but it doesn't seem too have stopped her in anyway but who knows she may have produced more bud ? But I am very happy with what she has and you would be happy for this result from a photoperiod plant , she has developed what looks like corn shooting out of every bud in all directions , looks mad I've just read it's called foxtailing and it's genetic on purple strains not light or heat stress , Looks amazing Update , Really starting too show the early flush now week 3 of nothing but clean water , she is now in full swing of eating her leaves all cloudy and about 4% amber , so it seems another week for this girl and I clearly started to flush a week early , but doesn't seem too have slowed her down

She’s getting nice a frosty and budding up nicely growing in sohum just add water

Knuckled a few more plants for more supports and to get them bit bushier added few more down aswell and will be adding more next week moved all plants to spot 2 going to just use this spot this year and next year get that spot 1 chopped back and sorted out

05/24 - (M) - The mother has been harvested and dried - She produced roughly 3 oz's after drying - Considering I pulled a good amount of clones from her early 3 oz's is acceptable on this harvest - Completely negated the hay smell through drying - Nuggz are full and dense - smoke is clean and smooth. 05/24 - (C) - The clones are coming along nicely - They have about 5 maybe 6 weeks left until harvest - They were moved into the 2x2 tent to finish (Needed the bigger tent for my follow up grow) - The clones have a deep citrus smell - The budsites are filling out accordingly- Thus far no issues through first couple weeks of flower - I included 2 nutrients to their feeds Green Planet Horti Bloom and Late Bloom. Follow my IG for more content IG@Greenphoenix6262😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 05/27 - (M) - This will be the last entry for the mother - She has been trimmed down and placed in cure jars with humidity packs for curing - The first cut from this batch (MOM) is nearly perfect - No hay smell - clean smoke - white ash - looking to step it up with the clones. 05/27 - (C) - The clones are flowering perfectly - Temps are at 69-71 - Humidity at 65% - They have been switched back to manual feeding to finish out - I say they have about 3 maybe 4 weeks left and this run should be completed - Stay tunned. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Semana 4 de flora están a full mis plantitas. Creciendo cada día más y más. Sanitas.

Die Pflanze hat sich schön weiterentwickelt. 3 Tage nach dem toppen, waren die obersten Triebe soweit entwickelt, dass ich die obersten Sonnensegel entfernen konnte, da diese die untersten Triebe verdeckten. 4 Tage nach dem toppen, habe ich angefangen, mit LST-Clips, die Triebe nach außen und in die gewünschte Richtung, zu trainieren. Am 6 Tag der Woche, habe ich begonnen, neue Triebe zu entfernen, jedoch die Sonnensegel der Triebe, lasse ich stehen. Da ich die Triebe eh später entfernen würde, mache ich dies gleich am Anfang, somit muss die Pflanze keine Kraft auf diese Triebe verschwenden. Am 7 Tag wurden die beiden obersten Triebe noch einmal getoppt. Bis jetzt ist das Training aufgegangen. Die Pflanze geht in die Breite und die Triebe liegen in etwa auf gleicher Höhe. Erstaunlich finde ich, wie sehr die Pflanze, in Living Soil, auf zu viel Feuchtigkeit, reagiert. Da ich ein Paar Trauermücken im Zelt und auf den Gelbtafeln gefunden habe, wollte ich mit Nematoden gegensteuern. Deshalb habe ich 1 Liter, mit Nematoden, am Anfang der Woche gegossen. Das Tensiometer hat 48 mbar angezeigt und ist im Verlauf der Woche, auf 91 mbar, langsam gestiegen. Dies hat man im Verlauf der Woche, am neuen Wuchs, gesehen. Es hat deutlich länger gedauert bis die Blätter von hell Grün auf dunkel Grün gewechselt sind. Auch haben einige Blätter helle Spitzen und Ränder bekommen. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich diese Woche noch einmal leicht gesenkt. Die LED ist so weit entfernt, dass wir ca. 450 PPFD und einen DLI von ca. 25, hatten. Die Parameter: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 57% - 67% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 50% - 60% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26,2 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23,1 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 62,5% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 57,3% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,1 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,0 LED Leistung: 20% = 95 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

7. Woche Tjoa es geht langsam voran, mittlerweile habe ich sie in etwa so, wie ich sie haben möchte. Denke sie switcht demnächst in die Bloom, dann hat sie jetzt 4x Topping hinter sich. Ich habe es leider beim 2. mal verkackt, weswegen es am Ende sogar 4 Topps geworden sind. Aber dafür hat sie sich gut gehalten. Sie bekommt jetzt noch ein bisschen Training und dann bin ich gespannt, ob sie zur Bloom richtig explodiert oder so klein bleibt, wir werden sehen 🤷🏻‍♂️🤭 Komm mir schon fast so vor, als würde ich mit ner Photo arbeiten, da ich sie solange in der Veg halten kann 😉😅😄 Ich habe gestern btw irgendwelches Viechzeug auf den unteren Blättern entdeckt aber ich glaube die kamen daher, dass die Blätter immer wieder Bodenkontakt hatten. Weswegen ich sie dann so Nackt gemacht habe. Zur Entwarnung, der Rest des Raumes ist Clean soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Ich werde das mal weiter beobachten 😊 Update zu den Viechern: Entwarnung, sind entweder Nützlinge oder Trauermücken Larven. Konnte noch keine Zuname an Trauermücken auf den Gelbtafeln feststellen 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's in the soil? What's not in the soil would be an easier question to answer. 16-18 DLI @ the minute. +++ as she grows. Probably not recommended, but to get to where it needs to be, I need to start now. Vegetative @1400ppm 0.8–1.2 kPa 80–86°F (26.7–30°C) 65–75%, LST Day 10, Fim'd Day 11 CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): This is a measure of a soil's ability to hold and exchange positively charged nutrients, like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Soils with high CEC (more clay and organic matter) have more negative charges that attract and hold these essential nutrients, preventing them from leaching away. Biochar is highly efficient at increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC) compared to many other amendments. Biochar's high CEC potential stems from its negatively charged functional groups, and studies show it can increase CEC by over 90%. Amendments like compost also increase CEC but are often more prone to rapid biodegradation, which can make biochar's effect more long-lasting. biochar acts as a long-lasting Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) enhancer because its porous, carbon-rich structure provides sites for nutrients to bind to, effectively improving nutrient retention in soil without relying on the short-term benefits of fresh organic matter like compost or manure. Biochar's stability means these benefits last much longer than those from traditional organic amendments, making it a sustainable way to improve soil fertility, water retention, and structure over time. Needs to be charged first, similar to Coco, or it will immobilize cations, but at a much higher ratio. a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) results in a high buffer protection, meaning the soil can better resist changes in pH and nutrient availability. This is because a high CEC soil has more negatively charged sites to hold onto essential positively charged nutrients, like calcium and magnesium, and to buffer against acid ions, such as hydrogen. EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the amount of soluble salts in the soil. High EC levels indicate a high concentration of dissolved salts and can be a sign of potential salinity issues that can harm plants. The stored cations associated with a medium's cation exchange capacity (CEC) do not directly contribute to a real-time electrical conductivity (EC) reading. A real-time EC measurement reflects only the concentration of free, dissolved salt ions in the water solution within the medium. 98% of a plants nutrients comes directly from the water solution. 2% come directly from soil particles. CEC is a mediums storage capacity for cations. These stored cations do not contribute to a mediums EC directly. Electrical Conductivity (EC) does not measure salt ions adsorbed (stored) onto a Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) site, as EC measures the conductivity of ions in solution within a soil or water sample, not those held on soil particles. A medium releases stored cations to water by ion exchange, where a new, more desirable ion from the water solution temporarily displaces the stored cation from the medium's surface, a process also seen in plants absorbing nutrients via mass flow. For example, in water softeners, sodium ions are released from resin beads to bond with the medium's surface, displacing calcium and magnesium ions which then enter the water. This same principle applies when plants take up nutrients from the soil solution: the cations are released from the soil particles into the water in response to a concentration equilibrium, and then moved to the root surface via mass flow. An example of ion exchange within the context of Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a soil particle with a negative charge attracting and holding positively charged nutrient ions, like potassium (K+) or calcium (Ca2+), and then exchanging them for other positive ions present in the soil solution. For instance, a negatively charged clay particle in soil can hold a K+ ion and later release it to a plant's roots when a different cation, such as calcium (Ca2+), is abundant and replaces the potassium. This process of holding and swapping positively charged ions is fundamental to soil fertility, as it provides plants with essential nutrients. Negative charges on soil particles: Soil particles, particularly clay and organic matter, have negatively charged surfaces due to their chemical structure. Attraction of cations: These negative charges attract and hold positively charged ions, or cations, such as: Potassium (K+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+) Sodium (Na+) Ammonium (NH4+) Plant roots excrete hydrogen ions (H+) through the action of proton pumps embedded in the root cell membranes, which use ATP (energy) to actively transport H+ ions from inside the root cell into the surrounding soil. This process lowers the pH of the soil, which helps to make certain mineral nutrients, such as iron, more available for uptake by the plant. Mechanism of H+ Excretion Proton Pumps: Root cells contain specialized proteins called proton pumps (H+-ATPases) in their cell membranes. Active Transport: These proton pumps use energy from ATP to actively move H+ ions from the cytoplasm of the root cell into the soil, against their concentration gradient. Role in pH Regulation: This active excretion of H+ is a major way plants regulate their internal cytoplasmic pH. Nutrient Availability: The resulting decrease in soil pH makes certain essential mineral nutrients, like iron, more soluble and available for the root cells to absorb. Ion Exchange: The H+ ions also displace positively charged mineral cations from the soil particles, making them available for uptake. Iron Uptake: In response to iron deficiency stress, plants enhance H+ excretion and reductant release to lower the pH and convert Fe3+ to the more available form Fe2+. The altered pH can influence the activity and composition of beneficial microbes in the soil. The H+ gradient created by the proton pumps can also be used for other vital cell functions, such as ATP synthesis and the transport of other solutes. The hydrogen ions (H+) excreted during photosynthesis come from the splitting of water molecules. This splitting, called photolysis, occurs in Photosystem II to replace the electrons used in the light-dependent reactions. The released hydrogen ions are then pumped into the thylakoid lumen, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Plants release hydrogen ions (H+) from their roots into the soil, a process that occurs in conjunction with nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. These H+ ions compete with mineral cations for the negatively charged sites on soil particles, a phenomenon known as cation exchange. By displacing beneficial mineral cations, the excreted H+ ions make these nutrients available for the plant to absorb, which can also lower the soil pH and indirectly affect its Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) by altering the pool of exchangeable cations in the soil solution. Plants use proton (H+) exudation, driven by the H+-ATPase enzyme, to release H+ ions into the soil, creating a more acidic rhizosphere, which enhances nutrient availability and influences nutrient cycling processes. This acidification mobilizes insoluble nutrients like iron (Fe) by breaking them down, while also facilitating the activity of beneficial microbes involved in the nutrient cycle. Therefore, H+ exudation is a critical plant strategy for nutrient acquisition and management, allowing plants to improve their access to essential elements from the soil. A lack of water splitting during photosynthesis can affect iron uptake because the resulting energy imbalance disrupts the plant's ability to produce ATP and NADPH, which are crucial for overall photosynthetic energy conversion and can trigger a deficiency in iron homeostasis pathways. While photosynthesis uses hydrogen ions produced from water splitting for the Calvin cycle, not to create a hydrogen gas deficiency, the overall process is sensitive to nutrient availability, and iron is essential for chloroplast function. In photosynthesis, water is split to provide electrons to replace those lost in Photosystem II, which is triggered by light absorption. These electrons then travel along a transport chain to generate ATP (energy currency) and NADPH (reducing power). Carbon Fixation: The generated ATP and NADPH are then used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the Calvin cycle. Impaired water splitting (via water in or out) breaks the chain reaction of photosynthesis. This leads to an imbalance in ATP and NADPH levels, which disrupts the Calvin cycle and overall energy production in the plant. Plants require a sufficient supply of essential mineral elements like iron for photosynthesis. Iron is vital for chlorophyll formation and plays a crucial role in electron transport within the chloroplasts. The complex relationship between nutrient status and photosynthesis is evident when iron deficiency can be reverted by depleting other micronutrients like manganese. This highlights how nutrient homeostasis influences photosynthetic function. A lack of adequate energy and reducing power from photosynthesis, which is directly linked to water splitting, can trigger complex adaptive responses in the plant's iron uptake and distribution systems. Plants possess receptors called transceptors that can directly detect specific nutrient concentrations in the soil or within the plant's tissues. These receptors trigger signaling pathways, sometimes involving calcium influx or changes in protein complex activity, that then influence nutrient uptake by the roots. Plants use this information to make long-term adjustments, such as Increasing root biomass to explore more soil for nutrients. Modifying metabolic pathways to make better use of available resources. Adjusting the rate of nutrient transport into the roots. That's why I keep a high EC. Abundance resonates Abundance.

Day 88, 30th of October 2020: I am just back from my holiday my friend looked after her really nice the 4th week already and buds are coming nicely along.... Great to see this beautiful lady very stinky by the way.... Smell is strong...🤪 She is very nice.... ;) I removed some leaves getting pointless to be as she focuses more on the buds.... Those leaves were removed from the top mostly.... Now she gets one day extra darkness and but previously she had more dark hours than 12 hours because she was removed in the morning and back in the evening because she is in the tent with other plants and they are in veg now....🤪🤣🤣 I just started changing the schedule for those as well so from tomorrow no need to remove her and putting back.... ;)

Everything is going well with the lady's, no issues so far💪 Gonna put them in flower on the 25th and gonna start adding bud-ignitor to give them a litle kick under the 🍑 Rock on growmies

Day 97 Mon PH 5.8 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Water 24c Day 98 Tue PH 5.4 - 5.8 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Water 18-24c Day 99 Wed Add water PH 5.3 - 5.8 EC 0.6 - 0.5 DLI 12h PPFD Water 18-24c Day 100 Thu PH 5.5 - 5.8 EC 0.5 - DLI 12h PPFD Water 18-24c Day 102 Sat PH 5.5 - 6.0 EC 0.5 DLI 12h PPFD Water 18-24c Day 103 Sun PH 0.6 EC 5.8 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c

Everything is still fine, the oldest moved to the largest pot of 11 liters or 3 gallons and the one that grew more than the others in the pot of 2 gallons or 7 liters approx, they began to look for pots for the others later. apical pruning will be done to several practicing, as well as LST or something like that experimenting haha

Merry Christmas growmies 🎄 I hope you are enjoying the holidays with friends, family and Cannabis ✨😁 The Purple Haze is entering the final stage of bloom. For me this is a great time as the plants are finally at their prime. As you can see in the pictures the buds have grown big and fat. The resin is also covering most of the sugar leafs and even though it's not snowing outside, thing sure look frosty in the GTools 😅 I inspected the trichromes today and most are cloudy, no amber just yet. Going from the strain description this could be the final week before harvest. It would be cool to close off this year with a Purple Haze harvest but as always I let the plant decide when she's ready to be harvested. The pistils are still mostly white, but my main indicator are the trichromes. The two plants in the back are both a bit bigger (and have fatter buds) than the plant in the front. So maybe this one will have to grow for a week longer to reach her full potential. The plan for this week will be just giving just water and no nutrients, lower the temperature and see if I can nudge the ladies in coloring the leafs to a nice purple hue. If they don't it's perfectly ok, I'm happy with how healthy and frosty they look anyway. Let's see what this week will bring us! I just harvested my first flush of shrooms today. These are the Hawaïan Cubensis from the Zamnesia webshop. Chack it out at https://www.zamnesia.com/3484-magic-mushroom-spore-syringes-mondo-psilocybe-cubensis-hawaii.html Even though this was in the smaller monotub I ended up with a 5L mason jar full of beautiful mushrooms ☘️🍄. Stay tuned for more pics and updates as the week progresses and again have a great holiday 🌟

Week 6 of flower about another 2 to 3 weeks to go . Buds are forming Nicely but I’ve been a little heavy on the nutrients so I’m trying to remedy that .

Ran into some Calcium/Phosphorus trouble !? First deficiency in the grow. Topped up with new nutrient solution, added some CalMag and Universol Yellow 12/32/12. Raised PH to 6.1 and EC to 1850. Added 100ml 12% H2O2 to make sure no PH trouble occurs. Switched the Carbon filter around so that I can lift my light a little more. Orion F1 is getting really frosty ~2 more weeks? The Northern Lights take some more time.

Heyo bud, Did some serious training this week, all lower growth was removed, kind of like a lazy main-line. She's as good as recovered and bushier than before defoliating it all! You can see her bounce back in the time lapse, its pretty cool! Still chasing the gunk around the roots, worried it might be rot, treated her with some h202 whilst I shop around for some bennies here in Europe, if you have any advice hit me up! Rot or not, the root growth this week was great, despite the absurd amount of stress I put her under, Maybe this little girl isn't so weak and behind after all, the genetics seem hardy. going to let my little plant recover as I keep adjusting ties, I want to find a solution to my root issue and have a bit more green growth before I flip to flower, I'll reconsider my flip date next week, I don't want to veg too long, I do need weed in my Jars. Thanks for checking out my Diary, keep safe and keep growing!

Lots of smells have become their own... The fried banana has this crazy skunk smell with a real earth dirt smell once the skunk fades... The orange cake NO kidding, smells like a fresh peeled orange and some kind of batter smell... It's nuts... The big Z has the immediate Skittles blast with a earthy afternote... And the paint is just like the last one and smells real chemical like! When u say the name it makes u smell the paint... Is that just me???? Hahaha anyways... Thats what I got .. everything is going amazing and for day 37 I think they've filled out real nice... Now hopefully they fatten up in the next 20-30 days!!!!
