Here we are for the Week 8 Update for my biggest grow to date. The ladies are really starting to show trichomes like crazy along with their buds sites swelling seems like every day. Several of the ladies I had to defoliate again because they just became so bushy and I'm trying to make sure even the lower half of the plant is getting enough light. I've also noticed that all the ladies seem to be on the same track except for AK-49 #4 which just didn't grow much due to lack of light at the beginning of its life cycle and Girl Scout Cookies #2, which is almost done! Since I'm in the home stretch I check them every day to see if they need water because they've been super thirsty since they have been in flower. Well, that's gonna wrap it up for this week fellow growers, Happy Growing and remember to "Free Your Mind, One Puff At A Time "😉

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

High UV-B radiation can necessitate increased magnesium because it plays a crucial role in mitigating the stress and damage caused by UV-B exposure. High UV-B can lead to the production of harmful reactive oxygen species, and magnesium helps the plant's antioxidant systems and chlorophyll function to cope with this stress, making adequate magnesium supply essential for plant health under such conditions. Why UV? To do with the way anthocyanin is different from other pigmentations in that its colouration is not attached to the cell itself, it's a pH thing, if you force the color through high dose, as soon as she stops being in that environment, it will begin to revert back to chlorophyll, nitrogen deficiency causes anthocyanin to be produced in the first place, and nitrogen is needed to create new chlorophyll. When plants have a nitrogen deficiency, they produce anthocyanins to protect the leaves from stress while they try to salvage remaining nutrients, like nitrogen, before leaf drop. 24:1 C:N carbon&nitrogen ratio in medium will trigger autophagy, which will begin the dumping of nitrogen into the soil to feed micros as they FEED on nitrogen to convert carbon sugars into chemical energy via cellular root respiration (calcium/phosphorous VITAL for sugar processing). Couple the UV with a nitrogen dump for all the colors of the rainbow, and remove the possibility of allowing the conversion back to chlorophyll. 10/14 mimics late autumn, winter is coming, maximizing genetic expressions of desired purple genes if they do exist, I have seen no indications that I'd expect from previous grows. Oxygen is the oxidizer; if a soil cannot breathe, nothing good will EVER happen. Raised UV to lower the dosage. The leaves begin producing a protein hormone called florigen (produced via the Flowering Locus T gene). DELLA proteins. The plant measures the duration of the night by monitoring the amount of Pfr that has reverted to Pr. I imagine it like an egg timer with sand. You can speed up the flow of sand one way or another, determined by what type of red light and the ratio overall. The standard flowering cycle for many indoor plants is 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. By applying a short pulse of far-red light at the very beginning of the dark cycle, a grower can trick the plant's internal clock. Forcing the conversion: A pulse of far-red light (730 nm) rapidly converts the active (P_{fr}) back into the inactive (P_{r}) form, simulating several hours of dark reversion. This amplified "sleep" signal causes the plant to believe the night started hours earlier than it actually did. For a short-day plant, this rapid reset means it can perceive a 14-hour night even though it only received 10 hours of darkness. This allows growers to use a 14/10 light cycle (14 hours of light, 10 hours of dark) without disrupting the flowering of short-day plants, as the far-red pulse makes the night effectively "long enough". This provides plants with more light for photosynthesis and can speed up the flowering process. What about all night? Or a pulse (15-30min)? High Pfr (Far-Red) overnight mimics a short night:If you maintain a high Pfr:Pr ratio overnight, the plant never receives the signal that a sufficient dark period has occurred. This mimics the conditions of a short night, during which Pfr levels remain high. Flowering is inhibited: As a result, the plant will not flower. This is the same effect that is observed when a flash of red light interrupts a long night, which instantly converts any Pr back to Pfr and resets the dark-reversion clock. But it's not that simple, I do not necessarily want a 14/10 for the entirety of the flower. Suppose you give a 12/12 with the pr/pfr conversion to make her more of a 10/14. It may not be the best option for the entirety of flower. A photoperiod cannabis plant will develop differently under a 14/10 light cycle compared to a 10/14 cycle during the flowering phase. The differing lengths of light and darkness trigger different hormonal responses, influencing the plant's growth, final yield, potency, and maturation time. A faster maturation time in flowering cannabis offers quicker harvests and lower potential risk, but can result in diminished potency, lower yields, and a less complex flavor and aroma profile comparatively. The trade-offs depend on the grower's priorities and the specific cannabis genetics. 14/10 physical light cycle with pr/pfr conversion for optimal yield to make the plant think it's on a 12/12. After the first 4/5 weeks of flower, when trichomes ramp up, I will change it to 12/12, keeping the pr/pfr conversion. I should switch her to a more 10/14. Although this is stressful, make sure she is not suffering from undue stress from other areas. If enough stress accumulates, there is a chance the increased levels of jasmonic acid will make her pop a few seeds. Be aware, play it by how she is at the time. If you want to make the 10/14 make sure one also applies a second pulse of far-red light (15-30min) two hours into the dark period. This mimics an even longer night, causing the plant to perceive a very short day of 10 hours and a long night of 14 hours. A pulse of only far-red light during a short-day plant's dark period will not disrupt its sleep. Unlike a pulse of red light, which would actively interrupt the dark period and inhibit flowering, far-red light promotes the biochemical state that signals a long, uninterrupted night. This simulates the shortening days of late autumn/winter and can stress the plant, triggering a defensive response. Some growers report that this low, controlled stress can increase resin and trichome production as the plant works to protect its flowers. This mimics a natural outdoor harvest cycle where days get progressively shorter and nights longer. Reduce relative humidity during the late flowering stage to around 30%. This is another controlled stressor that can boost trichome production while reducing the risk of mold. Unlock the full genetic potential and allow for maximal expression of desired genes during critical times. Autoflowers contain genetics from the Cannabis ruderalis subspecies, which evolved to flower automatically based on a predetermined internal clock, or age that flowers based on age rather than light triggers, red and far-red light do not play a role in initiating the flowering stage. However, they significantly affect other aspects of the plant's growth and morphology. The premise that autoflowers do not use phytochrome red (Pr) to phytochrome far-red (Pfr) conversion for any function is incorrect. Like other plants, autoflowers utilize the phytochrome system to sense their light environment and manage processes like germination, shade avoidance, and vegetative growth, even if the phytochrome system isn't what signals them to flower. Thank you 🙏 Almost time. Sound the horn! Maintaining 12-1600ppm by the morning's compensation point alone. She is consistently experiencing noticeable growth every day. Sulfur is in prior to flower, medium loaded with abundance, CEC charged, as the plant grows, so does its respiratory footprint. The exhaust fan starts to flare up at night far more often. The pH is unlocking hydrogen, allowing the plant to cycle CEC for its needs, which is optimal for soil microorganisms. It is charged with controlled doses of sucrose at optimal uptake temperatures. Full negative pressure diffusion setup linked to RH for nights, with negative pressure linked to daytime heat extraction. Just need to throw in the second net, switch spectral ratio and enjoy the show. The struggle of the butterfly to escape through its caterpillar sac strengthens its wings; without this struggle, it would not be able to fly.

BIG BIG YIELD SOME PLANT MAKE 80gr

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

So week 8 has gone by like the others nice and easy although I cant help but think that she is well behind where she should be, on the packet it says 11 weeks to harvest but I cant see her packing on enough bud in 3 weeks to be ready for the chop... im in no rush to chop her down but cant help feel a bit anxious that I have gone wrong somewhere... She is now sharing a tent with some GSC so a new diary will be going up for that in the coming week or so... Thanks for popping by again guys and girls Stay safe out there and Happy growing all...

I think I won't add anymore nutrients to the water, instead I'll just let the plant fade naturally. It should only have another week or two of flower.

Welcome to my attempt to grow a strawberry sorbet in 30g of Coco... The plan will be to veg her for 21 days once she's out and then straight into a 12/12. No idea how this will go but it is all good fun. The container is in fact a tea strainer with 20 micron mesh. I was hoping it will air prune and I will feed by dunning into a cup of feed so there will be no down pressure on the substrate.

03/31/25: Today was a major milestone in the grow: all five plants were transplanted into 1-gallon AirPots and topped above the 3rd node. I also cleaned up everything below node two, leaving each plant with two strong, healthy nodes to begin shaping their structure for the vegetative phase. Normally, I wouldn’t combine transplanting and topping on the same day, as both are stress-inducing events. However, the plants looked robust and healthy, showing no signs of weakness. Because of this, I felt confident they could handle the dual stress. Still, I expect them to take the next 2–3 days to recover, after which I anticipate they’ll bounce back with even more vigor. Each plant was moved into a 1-gallon AirPot, which encourages air pruning and promotes a more fibrous, expansive root system. During transplant, I sprinkled mycorrhizal fungi directly near the rootball of each plant to help stimulate root colonization and increase nutrient uptake during this critical phase. On inspection, the roots were healthy and white, showing no signs of being rootbound—making this the perfect window for transplanting without risking transplant shock or root constriction. The newly potted plants were placed back into the 4x4 tent, now sitting about 36 inches (approximately 91.5 cm) below the AC Infinity S44 light, which is set to 40% power. This provides a PAR reading of around 360 µmol/m²/s, which is well-suited for early veg. To begin early phenotype tracking, I’ve labeled the plants as PP1 through PP5: • PP1: Most vigorous plant so far • PP2: Slightly behind PP1 in size and growth rate • PP3–PP5: Showing very similar growth characteristics, slightly more compact If early vigor is any indication of sex, I would guess that PP1 and PP2 may be male, while PP3 through PP5 could be female. That said, this is purely speculative—true sex traits won’t reveal themselves until preflower, and many vigorous plants end up being female as well.

Another week maaabbeeyy 2 for them gorillas!!! Check out my tube and insta for regular updates only_dankzz4200 youtube.com/@thedankzz420?si=brMw2mSIw-nOJkpb

Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of flowering. Got the bamboo screen lowered into place and got the taller branches sticking through. All the plants got a big drink of flowering nutrient this week to help slow the stretch. The 3 plants I've got inside, will be put into flowering tonight. I've already changed the timer. I did some LST on the ones inside and took clippings for clones later. No sign of insects/pests yet. I know what to look for and do it daily. Everyone looks good and is growing well. I dug out another underground comic to show, but it has some weird stuff in it. It's called Weirdo. The copyright date is at the bottom of the letters page, fall of 1981. Ok. Have Fun. Chuck.

Se aproximan los arándanos 👽🍆🍆

Week Six (more like Week 4 or 5) alright, a lot happened. first in rearranged the plants to get a nice even canopy to flip to flower. as planed, I changed the lights to 16/8 and upped the power to around 75% at 50cm to the canopy. every plant got a topdressing with Terra Preta, rockdust, biovin and seeweed (rooting powder) and fed the plants with colonize and organic feed 5-2-5 (see pics). I got worried about the bagseed. on RNG 2# I see what's looks like male and female sex. on RNG 1# I think there a female sex signs, but I am not sure. only on RNG 3# I see more than one female sign on the nodes. I read you can have a high chance of hermies with bagseeds. on the other side, some strains came from bagseed. but I don't search for strains, so two new plants appeared suddenly. one gelato from zamnesia and one San Fernando Valley X The Purps from growers choice, both feminized and photoperiod. I decided to keep the RNG 3# as she is the safest to grow out. she shows female sex clearly and is the smallest of the bagseeds. so the fits nice with the fastbuds and the two new plants. I can happy give the bagseeds to a new home, so maybe I still see some result from the RNG 1# and 2#. I mixed some new soil with amendments and transplanted to 11l pot. they also got a good chunk of colonize and the normal dosage of feeding. I watered them in and the gelato popped back up, the SFV was a bit sad, some lower leafs hung down, but she like the transplant. both are in very good shape. one day after the transplant I will do some deleafing and training. also I get the mars hydro clip fan to get some needed air-circulation in the tent. so in a week or so, I will flip to flower, this will be the last update in veg. thanks for reading or checking out my grow. I took a lot more footage to do a seed to harvest video for yt.

Well these seeds are a bit unstable I think. 4 of the 6 were Hermie, so I don't know if it was the exotic light shedule or if this strain needs more work? anyway I got 2 that are all girl and I think I'm gonna pull the last Hermie and work the 2. on a brighter note o got 110 gallons of free water. thank you mother nature see the video. gonna keep on keeping on with the last 2 hate to lose the yield of 4 plants but it is what it is. 😭

- LAS PLANTAS SIGUEN CON EL MISMO PLAN NUTRICIONAL - NO SE VEN CARENCIAS NI EXCESOS - el hps de 600 MANTIENE MI AMBIENTE SIN MAYORES INCONVENIENTES -NO SE VEN PLAGAS NI MAYORES PROBLEMAS

Some defoliation & nutrient solution change Really liking the bushiness of these plants. Probably have to flower an extra week to account for some of the stress right around the switch to flower 🤷‍♂️🏽 Seems a little behind for end week 4 imo🤔 What do you think?🌿

Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hi everyone :-) . The lady continues to grow well and is ready to be trained for the first time this week :-). From this week on there will be a little bit of Grow Liquids before it gets full power from next week :-). It was poured once this week with 1.2 l. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.

Bienvenidos amigos, he cumplido 19 semanas de vida, 11 de floración y una como reina del jardín!! 😍... mi nombre creo que es Amnesia, soy algo olvidadiza 😵, mi apellido es Kush y desciendo de antiguos linajes Haze y Kush, soy fruto del mestizaje de plantas emigrantes y reúno en mis genes las mejores sativas de dos continentes...llámame AKU!! 😘 y si te acercas a mi... te regalaré aromas complejos e intensos, a incienso, madera y frutas ácidas que recuerdan a lima y pomelo. Esta semana he bebido 3247ml de agua de riego, un 4% menos que la semana anterior, pero es que las temperaturas bajaron mucho desde hace 4 días, todas las plantas de la carpa de cultivo nos hemos juntado para darnos calor. Ahora dedico todas mis energías en hacer crecer mis flores, y poco a poco, las hojas más grandes comienzan a cederme sus nutrientes, y al hacerlo, el bello color verde cambia y se tiñe de amarillo vetado, como las mechas en el cabello de las hembras humanas, ahora también soy, la tigresa del jardín de la alegría 🐯!!... I loved! 😍 24/04/21 La vida de reina es un lujo, todas mis compañeras me admiran y quieren ser como yo! Pero les va a resultar difícil tener unas colas tan gruesas como las mías. Hoy mi jefe me ha dicho que un día vendrá con unos amigos para que me admiren también... serán raros seguro!! 😁 Mi cultivador me ha hecho una mezcla de riego muy nutritiva, para que siga engordando mis colas y no me falte de nada: Hidrolato potásico de leonardita con fósforo (Humato PK) al 1,5%, Biol de frutas con Microorganismos Eficientes -EM (MMA, BAL, Vitaminas, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu...) al 1,5% y melaza. PH: 6.64, EC: 1.30.1400ml... muy rico!! 27/04/21 Hoy me han hecho un riego muy suave, porque he comido mucho últimamente y mi cultivador no quiere que me empache. Una mezcla sólo con agua de montaña y melaza. PH: 6.60, EC: 0,40. 1600ml. También me han añadido nutrientes y minerales sólidos en el sustrato, para que coma poco a poco cuando lo necesite... I loved! 😍 He estado emocionada todo el día con la visita de los amigos de mi jefe... hasta que han llegado! 😕 traen también a un cantante dicen que nos divertiremos, pero... todos parecen salidos de un funeral! 😲 es extraño, me miran y me dicen que me quieren, que estoy muy guapa y bla, bla, bla... pero creo que son simples saqueadores de marihuana!! 😡 Los conocía a todos, excepto a una niña repelente, siniestra y antipática que se llama Miércoles... creo que ya la odio!! 💀 El resto han estado fumando, y de vez en cuando me miraban y sonreían... me daban miedo, hay uno de ellos, muy grande, al que nadie hace caso o se ríen de él, no le invitan a fumar ni a beber, dicen que lo hacen porque no es feliz... ah que gente tan extraña!! 😟 Y comenzó la actuación, se apagaron las luces y Chet empezó a cantar, triste, todos aplaudían y chillaban... yo lloré!! 😪 "...Almost blue Almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me thats always true... always..." Hasta la próxima semana.... SALUDOS A VUESTRAS PLANTAS!! 👸🐅🌲 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================
