As you can see from the pics she has entered her death cycle. I saw a lot of the buds tightening up this week and she gaining some density.

Day 16 Veg: This week has dragged by watching these girls set up for their race. They are smaller than the other strains in general and the quickest to the end of flower so I will be very gentle with their training and height control. The LOS girl took her time to settle down but has now began to catch up and looks a lot better than she did. They have been put on their coco feeds at the lowest rate now so should be ready for their burst for flowering. I top dressed the LOS girl#1 with life-cycle to get her bennies moving quicker and have given the pots a decent watering too. They will get a fimming I think as I don't want to stunt their height at all as they are going to be shorter than the other strains. now begins the long wait till the next update.!. lol

(Controlled Environment Agriculture): My Synganic living grow room, a closed-loop bioengineering-logic system. (MOP). Lights are 58 inches from the main source to the top of the pot and the soil surface. If I added up all the lights in the tent, it would be 1100w-1200w total across 12-14 lights. Using them all at once is far too much for a plant and incredibly difficult to deal with environmentally. The lights are fixed in position; side lights have dimmers, allowing for pinpoint precision of PPF. Fixed at 58 inches, cannot move them closer to increase intensity. Instead, you achieve the PPF by distributing smaller wattages across a massive, multi-fixture matrix. Triggering specific plant defenses without melting your environment or frying your canopy. What's the point/blah blah wattage? Never really go above 600W at any one time. Lights come on in the east of the tent and set in the west. At sunrise and sunset, the red-to-far-red R:FR light ratio drops because the sun's low angle scatters red light more than far-red light. This shift reduces active Pfr and increases inactive Pr, mimicking Mother Nature herself. Deployed a lighting system featuring extra 660 nm deep-red and extending the spectrum up to 780 nm achieves the full Emerson Enhancement Effect by simultaneously balancing Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI) to maximize quantum yield. By pairing deep-red photons with far-red photons, you trigger a synergistic biological response where the resulting photosynthetic rate is higher than the sum of both wavelengths used individually. This practice directly leverages the updated extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR) framework. The Emerson effect accelerates plant metabolism and heat capture; you must proactively scale up your ambient room temperature, nutrient delivery, and CO₂ supplementation to prevent the light from stalling out your cannabis plant. UVA stays high all day from morning to night, but UVB peaks at solar noon (middle of 18-hour days) when the sun is peak. Morning color starts at 2k-3k; by noon it goes to 5k- 6k and back to 2-3k for sunset, with differing P:FR at light off. The extra-blue light is to assist with photoreactivation of UVB damage. No more yield loss for me. Using extra blue light for photoreactivation is what I do. Blue/UVA light activates photolyase enzymes, which directly repair DNA damage caused by UVB radiation. But what's the point if it's not for yield? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation—specifically UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm)—acts as a critical environmental signal that programs a plant's photoprotective genes to unlock its true photosynthetic potential. When growers push crops to their absolute photosynthetic maximum via high-intensity light and elevated carbon dioxide, the photosynthetic machinery easily becomes overwhelmed. Emerging photobiology research demonstrates that UV radiation prevents this limiting bottleneck; it triggers specific transcription factors and signalling networks that fortify the plant's cellular defenses, allowing it to process extreme light levels without sustaining structural damage. I've known this for years. Big middle finger to everyone for all the ridicule through the years. You know who you are. 8 Rules of plant growth: When carbon dioxide becomes the 9th limiting factor of plant growth, it shifts the growth curve from exponential to linear. The next restriction is photoprotection against reactive oxygen species (ROS), managed via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the xanthophyll cycle, which bridges into precise hydrogen and redox dosing. UV radiation, particularly UVA, and the synthesis of zeaxanthin are critical for the xanthophyll cycle to function. It's not chasing purple strains... i've been chasing the limits of growth, trying to make the linear exponential, just like mathematics prefers. To do that, must control every environmental variable to compound the plant’s metabolic rate. True exponential growth means the rate of increase matches the current mass at every stage, requiring a closed-loop system where light, CO2, and nutrition lock into a synchronized upward curve. First, you must understand what restricts it. Precise hydrogen and redox dosing. Nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Most won't even understand that; once you do, it changes everything. Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves meet in phase, meaning their crests and troughs perfectly align. Their amplitudes add together, creating a new, amplified wave with greater intensity than the individual components. Constructive interference is the foundational mechanism that establishes a resonance hierarchy across physical, structural, and acoustic systems. Chromophore spacing is tuned to sub-nanometer precision to match the wavelengths of absorbed light, forcing constructive interference. Light-harvesting proteins form geometric rings and lattices. These shapes act as physical resonators, trapping and focusing the wave energy. This same principle dictates how opera singers shatter glass, how musical instruments resonate, and how bridges withstand structural vibrations.Nature uses the exact same math to harvest a photon as an engineer uses to design a concert hall. When you push high PPFD and elevated CO₂, you create a metabolic bottleneck. The plant cannot process the energy fast enough, leading to electron backup, light-induced damage, and a collapse from exponential growth into a flat, linear rate. UV light acts as the regulatory valve that prevents this collapse. In standard agronomy, Liebig's Law of the Minimum dictates that growth is limited by the scarcest resource. When you maximize water, nutrients, light, temperature, and CO₂, the bottleneck shifts to metabolic processing speed and photoprotection. By controlling the Redox state of the plant using UV, the xanthophyll cycle, and managing ROS, you can prevent the plant from hitting a hard photosynthetic ceiling. Instead of the growth curve flattening out (linear or plateauing due to photoinhibition), the plant continues to compound its metabolic rate efficiently. You are forcing the plant to operate at peak thermodynamic efficiency. By matching the UVB peak with sustained UVA and shifting Kelvin temperatures (2K to 6K), you are damaging the plant just enough to trigger defensive genes, while simultaneously providing the exact light energy needed to repair that damage instantly. UVA radiation and specific blue wavelengths accelerate this enzymatic conversion. Zeaxanthin acts as a structural sponge that absorbs excess excitation energy from chlorophyll and dissipates it safely, preventing ROS formation. Without UV signaling, the xanthophyll cycle cannot keep pace with extreme light, leading to dynamic photoinhibition (yield loss). The addition of Spirulina is primarily for zeaxanthin, as it contains a lot. But on top of that, Hawaiian Spirulina is cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from Hawaiian aquifers and ultra-pure, deep ocean water containing all 94 trace minerals & elements. It is then gently dried using patented Ocean Chill Drying technology and cold-pressed to ensure maximum nutrient levels. Spirulina, a blue-green alga, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), making it an excellent source of nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that Spirulina can be used as a biofertilizer, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers, especially for nitrogen, with a whopping NPK of 10% (N), 20% (P), and 20% (K). Rich in proteins, amino acids, trace minerals, and plant growth-promoting compounds. Zeaxanthin is a vital plant pigment that accumulates under intense light to drive non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), acting via thermal energy dissipation, direct singlet oxygen scavenging, and thylakoid membrane stabilization. The violaxanthin cycle (or xanthophyll cycle) reversibly converts violaxanthin to zeaxanthin via antheraxanthin to protect plants from photooxidation. Understanding this interconversion is next-level vital for optimizing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and pushing photosynthetic limits under high-light stress. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a natural antioxidant that plants produce internally to neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species caused by photosynthesis and high light stress. Acts as a co-factor for enzymes like violaxanthin de-epoxidase in the xanthophyll cycle, which safely dissipates excess light energy. 1g ascorbic acid will neutralize 100% of chlorine in upwards of 30 gallons of tap water. If your local tap water uses chloramines (chlorine bonded with ammonia) instead of free chlorine, you will need roughly 20% to 30% more ascorbic acid to completely break the tougher chemical bond. Molecular hydrogen and hydrogen-rich water act as selective antioxidants that help lower oxidative stress. They neutralize toxic reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radicals and boost natural antioxidant defense systems in biological and plant systems exposed to high-intensity light or abiotic stress. UVA and UVB act as stress signals that upregulate the plant's secondary metabolism. It forces the plant to build an internal "sunscreen" (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and fortify its cellular defenses before the peak solar noon crisis. This keeps the metabolic highway open. Know the precise ratio of UVA to UVB needed to maximize zeaxanthin accumulation without triggering permanent stunting. Balancing Far-Red (FR) light at "light-off" to manage the phytochrome photo-equilibrium (Pfr to Pr conversion) in tandem with the UV schedule. Omg, the logic. Hydrogen concentration and redox signaling as secondary messengers in this high-intensity loop. From here on, it gets Quantum.

2.4.25: Plants have totally dried now. I watered each plant with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres: ♡ .25g Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ .50g Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Part A ♡ .25 Greenleaf nutrients Sea K(elp). Everything is looking good, just waiting on ripening and then the much anticipated harvest. 6.4.25: I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Part A Total PPM: 1010. GORILLA COOKIES: Is looking super frosty and close to harvest. She's still drinking well, so checking her daily. BUBBLE KUSH: Is looking very good, still waiting to check buds, as I don't think we're there yet. She's drinking very heavily still. It won't be long now. Maybe a week. So many buds! 😍 PINK MIST: We are not developing very quickly. All of the deep orange pistils are sticking out and aren't curling in. This is week 21 now 🤯 Hopefully I can wrap this up here very soon 😅 DO-SÌ-DOS: She is looking phenomenal 😍 really large buds. One is very ready, but the other buds are still not there. I am really looking forward to harvesting this stunning lady! 🤩 Maybe also another week to 10 days. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

Bonjour à tous. Le 18 août début de la 5ème semaine et jour 29 pour mes 10 White Widow. Durant la semaine dernière, elles ont grandi leurs feuilles mais niveau hauteur c'est des bonsaïs (10 centimètres en moyenne ), j'halucine lol, j'espère qu'elles vont grandir en hauteur pendant cette semaine. Tout va pour le mieux. Peace and Grow for All..😇😇😇

Week 1 - 01/01 to 01/08 2021 HUGE THANKS TO @MARSHYDROLED and @VIPARSPECTRALED! New surge protectors/heavy duty timers/the good cords. The Purple Lemonade by @Fast_Buds is right on pace, way larger than the LSD-25 next to it but that has to do with genetics. Will give it a week or so for it to really settle in with a root base before cleaning out my 5gal RootPouch pots from the last grow and getting them transferred into their final homes. I have all my seedlings under the P1500 from Vipar as my veg light for the first few weeks to a month. It's SO nice to not have a blurple anymore, the light is way better in my room and on the eyes. The new diodes had every single seedling grow more in 6 hours than it did in the first 7 days under the blurp LED. The Purple Lemonade sprouted its second set of leaves by the time I woke up from my nap 😂 I noticed a bit of spotting on the Dark Devil in my other diary so I added some Hydrogen Peroxide to the spray bottle and it cleared up. All four have been getting constant spritzing from the spray bottle to keep humidity up. Have no doubt the new lights will make the plant/overall yield. Thanks for stopping in! Throw down a like and/or follow so i can return the favour 🙌 -- Check out my Diary of the Year 2020 entry 🙏 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/54258-fastbuds-original-auto-sour-diesel-grow-journal-by-glazedgrow IG: @GlazedGrow CannaBuzz: @GlazedGrow

Buenas a todo compañer@s,otra semana más de cultivo. Amnesia haze Hoy día 3 Finalizamos la semana 5 de floración. Cambiamos a la semana 6 Aumento de la EC hasta los máximos valores que acepte la variedad,proabado este fenotipo de amnesia haze en varios cultivos con una EC2600 en sustratos. Una semana bastante jodida de agua,muchas lluvias,con lo que conlleva alta humedad en el exterior y con ello más alta en el cultivo. Pero seguimos luchando! Vídeo subido en la madrugada . Dia 5 Todo bien ,exceptuando una de las niñas que parece tener alguna deficiencia,magnesio pensé en primera estancia,pero otros compañeros me dijeron que podría ser que el magnesio bloqueó el potasio en unos riegos atrás. Le reduciré el magnesio,y le seguiré dando la misma dosis de potasio que le doy a todas las demás.. El riego es por goteo y no queda otra, a esa pequeña le añado lo que pida de más con una pequeña pistola de agua por debajo. Va afinando el cultivo con respecto a los olores. Día 6 Al fin,puedo volver a decir ,tengo todo bajo control!! Al menos por ahora.. Correji,el problema de potasio de la planta con la deoficiencia que no sé cómo llegó a ese punto,tan pronunciado.. hoy quedó la cama regada con una buena cantidad de abono EC2200 En una cantidad de tanque de agua de 44 litros Un ph6,2 controlado como en todo el ciclo de floración. Dia 7 Hoy abrí el armario,30segundos en la tarde mientras estaba la noche dentro con las niñas, 12grados era la temperatura dentro de el. Hoy realmente fue una tarde fría ,aquí.mañana vuelve a ser un día normal ,así que volveremos a tener los 16/17 que tenemos por lo normal. Buen pronóstico,e podido ver en los noticiarios,hahahah dejando temperaturas aparte. Regamos ayer, con una buena cantidad de azucares aminoácidos y enzimas,además de su riego base y calmag boost. Realmente hoy me quedan 10 días,en los que tengo que terminar de potenciar la planta con los abonos. Ya que en aproximadamente 20 días se finalizará este cultivo. No busco una cantidad oxidada de tricomas ,busco una buena patada de estimulación activa. En unas semanas abriré un nuevo pequeño espacio de cultivo con una cama de cultivo de suelo vivo. En un interior. Por lo demás,pediréis ver alguna deficiencia en una planta,y algo de estrés en otras más debido a El salto de temperatura de hoy. Decir que algunas sufrieron un poco de sobrefertilizacion. -ESO QUE PARECE UN🛰️, es la sonda de temperatura y humedad! Y ya de paso. aprovechamos la 💡 que pueda rebotar. Día 8 Parece que ahora piden mucha agua,van a sufrir un poco de estrés con respecto a eso. Mañana le meteré otro riego con un buen EC y la próxima semana acabaremos con los abonos. Están engordando muy bien,un olor a amnesia increíble con el toque lima y fresco de las haze. En este fenotipo la dominancia es más de la amnesia. El olor ,me está indicando que voy a tener un producto de gran calidad. Muy muy dulce,limón,madera cortada y toques a pimienta. Seguira definiendo más aún en la maduración y el desarrollo de resina empieza a manchar bien la hojas. Grandes extracciones de jardala nos esperan! Día 10 En el día de hoy todo va bien con respecto a todo lo general del cultivo en cuanto a alimentación. Ya hoy el último riego de la semana ,penúltimo del cultivo. IMPORTANTE. ⚠️ Tuve dos plantas afectadas en las hojas por exceso de iluminación llegando esta a quemarse en las hojas,la flor no se afectó,prácticamente nada . Subí la lámpara unos 12 cm Estaba demasiado baja ya que no tuve en cuenta el pequeño estirón de esta semana atrás.

Can’t argue with the yield with no added bloom booster and a over feed of cal mag which stalled a week too.

The Dr. has been vegging for full 8 weeks and on the 9th I switch to 12/12 . In the next few weeks she'll be stretching even more I guess. If she happens to stretch that wild as I have read, I'll have to struggle trying to stop her taking over my reduced grow room and I don't like to apply serious pruning after she has grown. Besides, my hypothesis is that as I chose a big pot, she might be growing aerially for a long time until the roots tell to stop. Regarding fertigation, I apply once a day a solution 1.3-1.4 mS/cm EC (inflow) using Grow fertilizer alternating with Bloom fertilizer. I'm applying from today on a foliar spray to activate growth at this stage (this week and the two coming next). Day 54 (05/11) fertigation Bloom fert 0.3 g/L, CalMax 1.3 mL/L, VitaMax 1mL/L, pH 6.1, EC 1345 uS/cm and Foliar spray. Iturned on the lights manually as I got up and saw the lights were out. She will have 4 additional dark hours today, but I wouldn't worry. Day 55 today I did some work on rebel shoots and that's all! Day 56 I fertigated with a Bloom fertilizer solution 1.3 EC inflow and 0.9 EC units run/off, I can increase the EC a bit higher until I reach 1300 uS/cm in the roots but as I see her growing fine and without deficiencies, I'll stick to this amount for precaution. Later I sprayed leaves with Foliar fertilizer just when the lights had gone off. Day 57 Today Friday is vegetative fertilizer's day! Day 58 happy Saturday to everyone be it autoflowering or photoperiodic! Thank God for your blessings. Today I had to replace one of the 50 W cob led but fortunately, lights are all shining now. She's been very shiny this morning too. Day 59 I'll put her under 13,5 hours darkness a day.
