Hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time. Little main line defoliation to focus growth. A cell is a quantum measuring device for light’s frequency to make order from the chaos that light frequencies bring from our environment. A cell performs mechanical resonance, where its intrinsic structures vibrate at specific resonant frequencies when exposed to external mechanical stimulation. Cells possess the ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from their environment, a process known as mechanosensing. This can involve the activation of signaling pathways and changes in gene expression. Cellular resonance is a component of mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical force into a biochemical signal that triggers a cellular response. Plants perceive mechanosensory stimuli, such as vibration and touch, through structures like trichomes (hairs) and specialized ion channels embedded in their cell membranes. Plants are sensitive to frequencies ranging from ultrasound to lower sound waves, such as 250 Hz. The perception depends on various factors, including the stiffness of the underlying tissue, which can be tuned by the plant to perceive specific frequencies associated with environmental cues like insect herbivory. While the exact molecular mechanisms are still being explored, scientists have identified several potential pathways that may be affected by acoustic vibrations in this frequency range: 4000-5000 Hz. Enzyme activity: Sound waves can increase the activity of certain enzymes, such as amylase, and elevate the content of soluble sugars and proteins. Increased stomatal opening in response to specific frequencies can optimize photosynthesis by increasing the plant's absorption of water and CO2. In addition to enhancing drought tolerance, sound vibrations can strengthen plants' overall resistance to stress. Studies have shown that some genes related to stress response can be activated by sound stimulation. The Emerson effect is a phenomenon where the combination of red and far-red light increases the rate of photosynthesis beyond the sum of the two wavelengths used separately. This synergy is important for understanding Extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR), which includes the far-red spectrum, because it means a more comprehensive measurement is needed to fully understand light's effect on plant growth. ePAR meters measure light up to 750 nm, which is necessary to capture the far-red light that participates in the Emerson effect. The human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color due to a combination of our cone cell sensitivity and evolutionary history. Our eyes are most sensitive to the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is the peak of our visual sensitivity, and a large part of our ancestry was spent needing to distinguish subtle variations in greenery for survival. or our primate ancestors, being able to discern subtle differences in green was crucial for survival. It helped them identify edible plants and avoid poisonous ones, as well as detect predators hiding in foliage. This constant need to distinguish shades of green drove the evolution of our color perception to become most sensitive to it. S-cones: Detect short wavelengths, perceived as blues and violets. M-cones: Detect medium wavelengths, perceived as greens. L-cones: Detect long wavelengths, perceived as reds and yellows. The primary reason for our enhanced sensitivity to green is that the peak sensitivities of the M-cones and L-cones are very close together in the green-yellow region of the visible spectrum. This overlap means that green light stimulates both the M-cones and L-cones, creating a more robust and detailed signal for the brain to interpret. In contrast, the S-cones are more isolated and respond to a much narrower band of light, leading to less sensitivity for blues. The brain's visual processing pathways also play a role. Our visual system processes color differences through "opponent channels," which compare the signals from different types of cones. The opponent channel that processes red versus green has a more precise and intricate system than the blue versus yellow channel, leading to finer discrimination in the green part of the spectrum.

I don’t think I ever had white powdery mildew and I was just noid of every little dust particle that came around. All good. I’m now battling high temps as we don’t have central air and it’s mid 90s outside. Most likely about to buy an ac unit. LST seemed to go ok but we shall see. Overall very pleased w my results so far. Cheers

Added 2 videos on preparing a nutrient solution and pH balancing the solution. This week saw aggressive topping (mid week 4) and some serious leaf damage. Not sure if the leaf damage is from the topping, nutrients, etc. I did a flush and solution swap, cleaned the air stone and inside of the jar etc. Built the trellis and started training. I'll cut away whatever trellis doesn't end up getting used once flowering starts. Creepy Don Santa is watching this grow closely. That cat of his is trouble.

Hola amigos cultivadores. Buenos humos a todos 🌊🤙 Esta semana tuve algunas dificultades por negligencia mía. * Perdí aproximadamente 40 gramos contaminados por Botrytis. Llevaba una semana con humedad muy alta y no hice nada al respecto. Acá donde cultivo es muy húmedo y cálido y siempre la Botrytis ha sido mi enemiga. Sin embargo esta vez fue mi culpa, pues sabía de la alta humedad y no hice nada. Importante mencionar que la Big Kush por su tamaño de flor (enorme) es más propensa a tener problemas con excesos de humedad. Esta cepa hace flores gigantes. Ya está resuelto y se bajó de 80% a 65% en promedio. Aumenté ventilación, extracción y coloqué un deshunidificador. * Haciendo cuentas de los días transcurridos, estoy una semana por delante y por lo tanto creo que empecé tarde con el Pk1314. De hecho era notable que las flores estaban muy desarrolladas cuando lo empecé a aplicar. Aún así el Pk ha hecho lo suyo y las plantas han engordado, quizá no lo que esperaba. Algunas hojas con tonalidades amarillas, algunas propias del consumo de la planta y otras observándola día a día para detectar algún exceso. Las platas siguen consumiendo en promedio 2 litros de líquido al día, por lo que espero hacer un buen lavado de raíz en una semana aproximadamente. Buenos humos 🌊🤙

📆 Semana 10 El cultivo entra en fase final de maduración, con cogollos ya bien formados y aumentando densidad. La resina se intensifica y los tricomas avanzan hacia el punto óptimo, aún mayoritariamente lechosos con algo de ámbar. Se aprecia diferencia entre genotipos, con el más rápido más avanzado y mostrando inicio de coloración. El aroma se define cada vez más y la planta centra su energía en el engorde final. Cultivo estable, en transición hacia el cierre del ciclo. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

🇩🇪 Woche 8 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 Diese Woche war ein großer Schritt für die beiden Mentha de Croco 🌿🚀 Seit Dienstag stehen beide endlich in ihren finalen 30L Endtöpfen draußen und wurden in Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde eingepflanzt 🌍 Dazu etwas Great White von Plant success an die Wurzeln. Beide Töpfe wurden zusätzlich mit Biofaser von Sonnenerde gemulcht, um die Feuchtigkeit besser zu halten und das Bodenleben zu unterstützen 🍂🔬 – perfekte Living Soil Bedingungen. Die Pflanzen haben den Umzug problemlos verkraftet und sehen weiterhin topfit aus 💪💚 Mit aktuell 66 cm und 58 cm Höhe entwickeln sich beide sehr kräftig und robust. Die Blattfarbe bleibt sattgrün und insgesamt wirken die Pflanzen absolut vital ☀️🌱 Heute am Samstag gab es die erste Runde selbst angesetzten Komposttee ✨ Dafür wurde 24 Stunden lang ein Beutel mit zwei Händen Wurmhumus und etwa einem Esslöffel Kelp in einem Eimer Wasser mit Luftpumpe und Sprudelstein belüftet 🌊 Der Tee wurde anschließend pur gegossen, um das Bodenleben direkt nach dem Umtopfen zusätzlich zu aktivieren 🔥🌿 Bis jetzt läuft alles genau nach Plan und die Pflanzen scheinen sich im neuen Setup richtig wohlzufühlen 🙌🌳 ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 8 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 This week marked a big milestone for the two Mentha de Croco plants 🌿🚀 Since Tuesday, both have been transplanted into their final 30L outdoor pots filled with Bio Hanferde by Sonnenerde and a little Bit of great white from plant success 🌍 Both pots were also mulched with Sonnenerde Biofaser to help retain moisture and support microbial life 🍂🔬 – perfect living soil conditions. The plants handled the transplant without any issues and continue to look fantastic 💪💚 At 66 cm and 58 cm tall, both plants are growing vigorously and appear very robust. The foliage remains deep green and overall vitality is excellent ☀️🌱 Today, on Saturday, they received their first homemade compost tea ✨ The tea was brewed for 24 hours using two handfuls of worm castings and about one tablespoon of kelp in a bucket of water, continuously aerated with an air pump and air stone 🌊 It was applied undiluted to help boost soil biology after transplanting 🔥🌿 So far, everything is going exactly according to plan and the plants seem very happy in their new setup 🙌

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un pò la pubblicazione delle foto, la piccola purtroppo ha subito un forte stress durante le settimane precedenti e ad ora sta un pò meglio ma comunque ne ha risentito. E' la piccola con più resina e mi fa ben sperare nel risultato finale... Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 🔥🌲❤️

So some sad news the blueberry has started to grow bananas good news it's coming down soon so am going to just keep an eye on her and use tweezer to grab nads before they bust. The blue ammo is about 2 weeks to harvest compared to blueberry just needs to fat up And rqs nl is now into full flower and is looking better every day but due to a later start she about 4 weeks or more to harvest

Esta semana tocó la poda de los apicales y primer nudo dejando solo 4 nudos por planta. Por lo que parece tienden a grandes hojas e internodos cortos. Esta semana también aumenté la potencia del lumatex hasta el 75% unos 220W. Empecé con 100 W luego fueron 150 y ahora 220 , así hasta cambiar el fotoperiodo a 12/12h. Entonces al 100%, 300W. Con 26 dias de vida ya tenian suficientes nudos, ramas y tocó hacer el apical y la poda del primer nudo a todas dejando 4 nudos por planta, 8 ramas secundarias. Terminamos la semana con la nº5 con manchas en las hojas muy feas. Entiendo que tengo que tratarla diferente al resto por lo que la regaré menos y dejaré secar más entre riegos al menos un par de veces.

Hung up my new California Lightworks UVB supplement light. I think I originally hung it a bit too close (18 inches from canopy) based on the subtle color change in the leaves, so I raised it up to 24" above the canopy. I was most certainly skeptical, since this is my first time using UVB, but even over the course of its first week under the bulbs I've notice a VERY visible increase in trichomes. Every one of this plant's buds is COVERED in trichomes! It looks like someone sprinkled sugar all over the damn place!

Moved the whole veg tent into the flower tent😍 Done the final flush on the 2 plants in the front of the tent, should have them cut down in the next 3 days to make some more room for the rest of the ladies! Everything seems to be going good so far! Fingers crossed for harvest & cure!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱
