Late Flower has begun, and even though she’s kinda behind on schedule (estimated flowering time of 9 weeks), she’s killing off her old fan leaves and utilizing the newer leaves. I can see she’s naturally starting to fade, so I think I got about a week left. There has been a little hiccup at some point, her light switch plug malfunctioned while I was out and she missed a whole day worth of light and looked sad and dry. After watering, she rebounded in just a couple hours and continued to produce her calyxes. I hope this will be a good yield because some of her branches are starting to tilt as her buds start to swell.

It was a tough week though! I didn’t know what to do in terms of training my girls 🌱🌱🌱🌱, this is my first time so I don’t know shit 💩 haha. I decided to manifold these beauties, I did it this morning, it kinda hurt to cut them off 😢 since I watched them grow and all that emotional crap 😅 but fuck it let it all be for the greater good, those 8 colas I’m planning to get per plant will look beautiful in a couple of months! I wanted to ask you all please. What about that hollow stem in one of the plants? I have read that hollow stems could be a deficiency, is that right? How can I correct it? Really hope she continues doing fine and make it through the process!!

Obama runtz x gas tax sad to say both seedlings are super crappy so far. If it was not for the gas tax parent being the best flower ever then I wld just toss these but sometimes the crappy slow growing plants end up being super dank It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Be sure to drop a like so I know you viewed and I'll pop onto see what you got a going, or not, it's up to you. This lady will be ran on a mix of 3 different nutrient brands. I germinated her in La Calavera/Voodoo juice, atlas and La Sirena from Terra Power. Y I called La Calavera voodoo juice you probably wondering. Well here's a little bit of info. So terra power is new, but they are far from new to the understanding of what makes great nutrients, these ppl are the ones who actually make their own nutrients they don't get specialists to do it. For example. Terra Power are the ones who hold the pattens and make some of ANs best products that made them who they are today. They've taken most of ANs line up and perfected it with modern day research with autos/ruderails and leds in mind. They haven't changed 3 core nutes which we all know as Voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, yup u read it. These guys are the makers (patten holders) of all that top widely used award winning nutrients. Even if you look at there base nutes what's in them, will blow u away. Have a look for yourself. Led-grower.eu/terra-power/ you'll see a chart with AN product names and an = sign beside it and the corresponding terra power nute that they have perfected upon will be beside it. Also for 70e a L Piranha they charge 50e a L for the exact same stuff just a dif name. There base nutes start as little as 8e. The Piranha and tarantula will be the most expensive as they are the same on AN just not as expensive as 70e. Very excited to see what there 50 billion microbes per 1ml enzyme will do aswel as the bud/resin foiler enhancer sprays, or you can use them in the substrate or hydroponics. Was surprised that the PH was perfect for these 3 nutes it came in at 6 exactly with my new milwalkee meters I can 100% trust the readings. PPM was 627 idk which one did it, as Voodoo juice has no EC value. I was so use to AN products I only remembered to PH/EC test the spray bottle after I did the 4 plants I used all them 3 just for seedlings. Thankfully the PH was perfect and these weren't even their PH perfect nutes which they have not only in their base nutes but they also have a stable PH buffer for hydroponics as PH can jump mad in pure water as the water goes down the stuff that was in the nutes is left behind and causes your PH to rise as it's taking away the ratio of water it was mixed with and in turn increasing the ratio of PH from the nutrients into the water. With mystic green that will be a thing of the past. It's like a ph - + but it'll hold a stable PH when you dry your roots in 15l and say if it drinks 5L that normally means your PH will rise around by a 1/3 or just rise unless you use a - + buffer. Whereas you find your desired PH and then add the stabilizer and it'll keep the PH in that level. Well that's my understanding of it. Read up about them if you are thinking of buying AN look at these as these ppl made AN what it is today. They should work together like a dream as I'm sure their formulas are close just terra powers were made in the past year not 5-10 years ago. I've been dying to try the jungle juice so will be using just them from AN and the rest will be Terra Power Nutrients. (OK, THATS ENOUGH ABOUT NUTRIENTS) The plant herself is a new strain and hasn't been widely grown yet. So, there's not a big base line to go by and see how far she can be pushed. FB though, is a hardy breeder and gives little in the way of Hermies and so on. I don't have to worry about room or height this time so I'm going to go heavy with LST and train these girls out. I'll top most of them but 1 or 2 I'm going to let it grow natural. Just a bit of LST. Gonna be hands off on this 1 For the first few wks and focus on improving my LST and other skills on my other 13 plants. Will be good to see what the jungle juice trio can do on its own, see what the happens. Expecting big things and yields from these grows. 30/4/22 Veg started. 38hrs in and she's up and going strong. (Update 5hrs after this update plant 2 has popped) Glad I turned the light on last night. For the 1st day the light will go on for 7/7 making sure to give these lil guys a rest is important and as they are autos it won't hurt in the slightest. Something I'm trying out. As if the fems pop up though I'll be then starting the lights on a 20/4, regardless of where all the other autos are at. It's important to get that light cycle in the plant straight away but for autos. A lil rest at the beginning will go a long way. Just until they are showing lil fan leafs or you can wait until they show them and then turn your light on. Decided to start these 2 on a few nutrients early. I've used Mystical Green, Artios Touch and fire yields all from Terra Power. None of these nutrients have any EC change to the solution. Mystical Green does many things but it's main purpose is to facilitate and stabilize PH allowing other nutrients to continue working in a constant set PH, as PH tends to change when added to soil or if in hydroponics when the water level goes down the PH buffers or ph from each nutrient is left behind and can cause an imbalance in your mix. I use .2 of the trio of jungle juice which changed 100 PPM to 350 or .7EC , very potent stuff. I really can't see using 4ml of each of these nutrients as the EC would be off the chart. Maybe it even out the more you add, idk, very small amount makes a massive EC change. Gave 100ml of 6 new nutrients on top of the low PPM feed they got when planted. I'll feed again in a few days. Maybe 4 and give water in 2 days. 1/5/22 Growing well plant 1 2-3x as bigger than Yday. Plant 2 4x bigger than Yday both will stay on the sane strength nutrients for the rest of the week. 2/5/22 100ml both plants. Tip dried both tops to stop any fert burn/water droplet burn. Same strength from day 1, same 1l mix holding same PH/EC. Very stable. 3/5/22 Plant 2 looking a little pale. Will up EC to 1.5/750ppm. Will upload pic after comes out of dark rest. Added 2ml biobizz calmag to my new mix will apply this week. Made 1L 400Ppm mix and split into 81L bottles. So it is only about 50ppm if even that. 4/5/22 Both plants are showing light cal mag def. Bit hard to see but it's there. I don't think my jungle juice is high enough. I've added cal mag and will stay the course for the rest of the week and then I'll go her EC to 1.8-2. All plants are close to spliting and breaking off making a new node maybe 2 days off. Or less. 5_5_22 Split has happened on mist of them. Growing strong. Their faces are 6&7.5 cm long and in height 6.5&7.2cm PPF of canopy is around 450-480. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly. Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much and then they'll go into 6hrs of 21c, back to negative pressure environment. Should bring the temps down from 30+ to low 20s within a min, so I'm hoping to bring out the terpness. Will go into details about Co2 and how to create it in a grow tent without spending 4-500euro. You will need a dehuimifier though and 2 20$ Co2 bags. And an reasonable air tight tent. Thanks for reading this week, this is the last update for this week. gottagrowsometime

Not going well, think I'm locked out??? I'm using sensi grow coco which is supposed to to be ph perfect yet still on lick out????? Brought a GOOD ph pen&tds pen,I flushed a full litre ph 6.0 through both girls and I'm now just maintaining a perfect pH level&bumping up my nutes a little more each day....

Well I have 6 little seedlings that sprouted looking happy and healthy.Going to give just plain water once the pots dry up a bit more.Ill add Gaia green 4,4,4 top dressing with a shot of recharge in a few days after these seedlings are stronger.Se7000 set at 30 percent power and is raised to the ceiling.I prefer to do this over lowering the lights and intensity and not being able to walk around and work in the ⛺️.Day 4 added a 1 inch layer of farm farm ocean forest and I’ll water plain ph tap water when the pots are dry.Also placed some pins and anchors to tie down branches for when the girls are ready for training :)

These two were my first tries with autoflowering seeds. I started the seeds directly in their final medium, which is Plagron's Growmix, and the seeds became a plant only in 4 days! They say, this soil has nutrients for the first 3 weeks, but the plants still looking very good in week 6! I only use tapwater, and hopefully, it will be enough for them till the end. To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of nutrients, and as I see in other diaries, it's not really necessery, if you run autos. I also don't do any training, only hiding some bigger leaves, and maybe some lollipopping at the end.

In 1995, scientists placed human DNA inside a sealed, air tight tube with photons. Without the DNA, the photons arranged themselves in a random scattered pattern, but when the DNA was inserted, the photons formed an alignment. Are there metaphysical, multidimensional aspects to our DNA? Have we just begun to understand what DNA is and what it represents? Vladimir Poponin is a well known Russian scientist who in 1995, with his colleagues, including biophysicist Peter Gariaev, conducted a very interesting experiment during their time at the Russian Academy of Sciences. In their paper (P.P. Gariaev and V.P. Poponin. Vacuum DNA phantom effect in vitro and its possible rational explanation. Nanobiology 1995 (in press)), Poponin states, in the introduction of the report, that, “We believe this discovery has tremendous significance for the explanation and deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying subtle energy phenomena including many of the observed alternative healing phenomena.” Why did he feel this way? We will get to that. Poponin and Gariaev tested the behaviour of DNA on photons, little tiny bits of matter, in the “quantum” that our world is made up of. They put photons into a tube specially designed to simulate a vacuum, just like the vacuum of space. With no air inside, they inserted the photons as they wanted to see what they did and how they behaved. The photons were distributed in a way that was completely unordered and random, scattered all over the container. This of course was what the team of researchers expected. Next, samples of human DNA were placed inside the tube with the photons, and what happened next is what’s truly mysterious. The photons reacted to the DNA, and changed their pattern and formed a specific alignment. In the presence of living material, the human DNA, the photons organized! This signified that the DNA was clearly having a direct influence over the photons. It’s one of many examples hypothesizing that something within us has a direct affect on the physical material matter outside of us. This experiment was repeated and confirmed, and it was further observed that human DNA has a direct affect on the quantum ‘stuff’ that our world is made up of. Fascinating to say the least. The Next Big Surprise The next big surprise was observed when the researchers removed the DNA from the container. The scientists assumed that the photons would simply return to their original scattered state, but this didn’t happen. Instead, the photons remained ordered as if the DNA were still in the tube. Poponin described the light as behaving “surprisingly and counter-intuitively.” The researchers hypothesized and were “forced to accept the working hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited.” Is there something being left behind? Something in non-physical form? This experiment tells us that DNA is communicating with the ‘stuff’ our world is made of, and that there is some sort of invisible field that exists. Perhaps DNA represents a place of storage and communications to the past? To the future? To others in the universe who have left their mark, so to speak. Who knows. Quantum Physics and Consciousness Nobel laureate of the twentieth century Richard Feynman once said, with regards to quantum mechanics, “we choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” Another great quote that comes to mind anytime the world of science dives deep into the mysterious world of quantum physics: There seems to be a deep concern that the whole field will be tarnished by studying a phenomenon that is tainted by its association with superstition, spiritualism and magic. Protecting against this possibility sometimes seems more important than encouraging scientific exploration or protecting academic freedom. But this may be changing.” – Cassandra Vieten, PhD and President/CEO at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The reason why the association with superstition, spiritualism and magic mentioned in the quote above exists when it comes to examining certain phenomenon is simply because the observed phenomenon is unexplainable. But it’s important to remember, just because something is unexplainable does not mean that it’s not real, it simply means we don’t fully understand it yet. Academia has a long history of rejecting phenomenon, that’s clearly real, yet simply unexplainable. Quantum physics clearly has a strong connection to consciousness and metaphysical phenomenon. Max Planck, a physicist who originated quantum theory, regarded consciousness as “fundamental,” and matter as “derivative from consciousness.” He said that “we cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” This has been demonstrated quite clearly by multiple experiments, like the quantum double slit experiment. A paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays by Dean Radin, PhD, explains how this experiment has been used multiple times to explore the role of consciousness in shaping the nature of physical reality. In this experiment, a double-slit optical system was used to test the possible role of consciousness in the collapse of the quantum wave-function. Photons were shot through two slits, in multiple different ways. The study found that factors associated with consciousness “significantly” correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double slit interference pattern. In this experiment, tiny bits of matter (photons, electrons, or any atomic-sized object) are shot towards a screen that has two slits in it. On the other side of the screen, a high-tech video camera records where each photon lands. When scientists close one slit, the camera will show us an expected pattern, as seen in the video below. But when both slits are opened, an “interference pattern” emerges — they begin to act like waves. You can refer to the actual study to find out more about that if you want to see a visual demonstration of the quantum double slit experiment. The point is, consciousness changes the behaviour of the particles. “Observation not only disturbs what has to be measured, they produce it. We compel the electron to assume a definite position. We ourselves produce the results of the measurement.” The study cited above points out that “factors associated with consciousness, such as meditation experience, electrocortical markers of focused attention, and psychological factors including openness and absorption, significantly correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double-slit interference pattern. The results appear to be consistent with a consciousness-related interpretation of the quantum measurement problem.” The Takeaway DNA is fascinating, and it’s probably the least understood part of our biology. There are definitely interesting metaphysical non-material aspects to our DNA, and changes to our DNA can come as a result of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions alone. HeartMath researchers have shown that physical aspects of DNA strands could be influenced by human intention. The article, Modulation of DNA Conformation by Heart-Focused Intention – McCraty, Atkinson, Tomasino, 2003 – describes experiments that achieved such results.

6/28 I had to water deeply despite watering thoroughly yesterday. This heat wave is supposed to pass today. We have had temps in the 90's. Ihate it but the girls seem to love it. RH is super high and controlling pm is a pain in the balls. When my connection is better I'll add my vid and photos. Still need a follow up preventative spray. BT is really awesome but super narrow and I've found random stink bugs, earwigs, crickets and grasshoppers as well as easily identifiable leaf damage. I'm thinking Spinosid. Save my PM stuff for PM. Tried checking my PH with a soil meter. The bags are basically just roots. The only two plants it read came to 6.5 which is strange because I usually run around 7.3. I'll certainly take it. If it's correct that is. RH 64 TEMP 84 6/29 Didn't water this morning due to a torrential downpour last night. Nothing broken after first glance. The thunder and wind woke me last night. This storm was horrific yet my plants still seem unaffected. Need to rearrange the cage. It will be a pain to have to move that ice cream cake. Maybe I could find a way to modify the cage outwards. I also need to move the plant in the tote in the back. Luckily I got back and watered before plants dried out. Noticed a FEW dead or yellow leaves on the middle interior of some plants. I upped dosage of growbig last feed and fed a little earlier. I'll go back to my normal feeding schedule and see what happens. Thing is the plants are getting huge so I would think increased nutes would help. Couldn't he lockout. Too much water. Maybe nutes in the soil are leaving? I'll figure it out. I temporarily pulled the stalk on the ice cream cake back and tied it to the posts to get it off the fence. 6/30. 90s again today. I deeply watered and noticed a couple more yellow leaves (bottom middlish). Only thing that was changed was feeding. I may go back to original schedule. Funeral today so I'll have to check things out later. UPDATE: Went back maybe sux hours after watering to find the grow bags dry. I reached my hand in the side and it's pretty much all roots. These high temperatures and wind are drying my plants out. No droop but the soil WAS dry. I watered again and plan to check again tonight. When temps go down I'll probably do a preventative Spinosid spray. 7/1 Watered and fed two gallons. Grow big at 1 1/2 tbsp. Still some yellow leaves on the interior. I'm talking like maybe five. Accidentally destroyed lace wing eggs. I knew it was something to keep an eye out for but I mistakenly thought it was BAD. Oh well it was just two eggs. I'm sure there are more. Tried measuring PH with soil meter but the only two plants that registered were 6.5 and 6.6. I believe the PH to be a bit higher. The bags are so full of roots it's hard to get a measurement. I know my soil and water WAS on point before my gauge broke. However I leave the 7.3 as that was about what the big ones tested at last time measured. 7/2 These are some resilient strains. Currently 54 degrees at 9am. It had been 80 or 90 in the last few days. Perfect rain today. A light shower all day. Obviously didn't water. Found a few yellow leaves but the plants look so good. The also seem to be stretching but it's far to early for the preflower stretch. I'll keep an eye out. Things are looking pretty good. Still need to move that plant in the back. 7/3 Watered today. Looks like it might rain but top soil was a little dry. Also noticed this site measures teaspoons not tablespoons which is how I measure. I'll need to adjust that. There's tell tale damage from a variety of pests (leaf hoppers, pillars, grasshoppers ECT.) So I think I'm going to do a spray within the next couple days. Im leaning towards Spinosid but Dr. Zymes supposably helps the PM as well. I'll do more research and update. 7/4 54 degrees and raining. Haven't checked the girls out yet today.

What's up Growmies 🤟🏽 Welcome back to another week #10 overall and #4 flowering. She is doing well and continue to stack on buds, I continue to fed her the same schedule and dosage of nutes, it seems to be working well. Everything seems to be going well so far nothing new to report, until next week my friends Happy growing and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest!

The cherry bomb has done well in expanding her growth after topping. I am having a ph problem again, and had to move the tent due to really cold weather. She is starting to show signs of nute burn. I have cleaned out the DWC bucket, and I am flusing her for a few days. I have put this plant through a lot of stress, and she continues to bounce back. I am very pleased with this plants Resilience.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!
