20.8 2 nights under 12/12, I can already see the stretch begins. Gave them another feed. Hopefully I've ironed out the flaws from the last grow (gassed one, didn't go well, caught some kind of virus?) 23.08 Reacting well to big pots, flowering stretch and current nutrient schedule. Stretching pretty quickly for Scott 5/6 days in flower! The bay burger plants are the 4 on the left of the tent, they've all grown lovely structures and reacted to topping and bending well. A few tiny flowering heads were removed and a few dying leaves, as you can see on one of the plants from a few weeks ago, is now looking very healthy it's the one I chose not to top.

Weekly update: Crazy how time flies when your having fun. Seems like yesterday I did last week's update. I did some defoliating and lollipoping on them this week and switched from grow nutes to bloom. Wild how fast the preflower sites grow as it looks like they're everywhere. I'm still feeding 16oz per day, some are drinking more then others but overall Happy Growing.

Week 12 - Flower Week 7 12. of Feb. Day 78 - Flower Day 43 Reservoir steady in the mid-1.6 EC range. pH behaving normally after corrections. Drinking roughly around a liter per 24h. The tops are mostly orange. Very few white pistils up top. That’s what’s dominating my attention. It feels early for them to look this mature. I start questioning whether the late-January catastrophe pushed her into finishing prematurely. Trichomes look mostly clear on closer inspection - not milky like I first thought. That’s important. 13. of Feb Day 79 - Flower Day 44 Pre top-off EC dips slightly - small sign of uptake. pH stable in the mid-5s after correction. Still fixated on the topmost crowns. They look static. I compare pictures from a week earlier and struggle to see obvious swelling. That’s frustrating. 14th of Feb Day 80 - Flower Day 45 Numbers stable again. EC mid-1.6s, pH mid-5.8s after top-off. Drinking steady but not aggressive. I consider whether development has stalled. Buds look healthy, not deteriorating - but not exploding either. 15th of Feb Day 81 - Flower Day 46 The mental tension is still there. Considered drastic action (flush), but decided against it after reviewing the data. Numbers weren’t extreme. Plant wasn’t collapsing. Chose stability instead of panic. EC held in the mid-1.6 range. pH stable. Drinking continued. EC trends stable. pH predictable. Roots healthy. No worsening damage. 16th of Feb Day 82 - Flower Day 47 00:15 pre top-off: pH 5.5 EC 1484 She drank just over a liter. After top-off: pH ~5.8 EC mid-1.6 This is the first real shift in perspective. I notice that underneath the canopy, popcorn buds and mid-level sites still have completely white pistils. That’s a crucial observation. If she were truly finishing early, those would not be fresh and white. This doesn’t look like shutdown. It looks uneven maturity between canopy layers. 17th of Feb Day 83 - Flower Day 48 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 EC 1564 After circulation: pH 5.75 EC 1620 EC meter seems to show too low values at first. Drinking 1L again. This is the day I actually see bulking happening. Not on the very tip of the highest tops - but right below them. The secondary crowns are stacking visibly. Calyxes swelling. Structure thickening. I realize I’ve been staring at the most stressed tissue (the very tops affected by the earlier light/EC incident) instead of looking at the plant as a whole. 18th of Feb Day 84 - Flower Day 49 Pre top-off: pH 5.92 EC ~1.6-1.7 (meter slightly inconsistent but trend stable) After top-off: pH 5.87 EC 1620 She drinks over a liter again. The brown pistils on the very top now feel less like “premature finish” and more like scars from the January event. Lower pistils remain white. Calyxes are not collapsing. Bud density is slowly improving. This week ends in a different place than it began. Not explosive. Not perfect. But alive, feeding, stacking - and very much still in flower. Next week should hopefully be all about stability and bulking.

🇬🇧 Week 8 ----------------------------- Blueberry Lime Kush by Terpyz – Outdoor Grow Update The outdoor grow is progressing slowly but steadily. This week there was a small growth spurt, and new shoots are beginning to form. However, it's clear that the conditions are tough on the plants the fan leaves are very dry and brittle, even tearing in some spots. 😟 So far, none of the plants have revealed their gender. We're still waiting to see whether they'll turn out male or female. Patience is key at this stage fingers crossed for lots of girls! Here in the region, it's still quite chilly, with lots of wind and low temperatures. Sunlight hours are also still limited. Hopefully, this will change soon as we move toward summer. Nonetheless, I’ll continue the outdoor grow without major intervention. 🇩🇪 Woche 8 -------------------------------- Blueberry Lime Kush von Terpyz – Outdoor-Grow-Update Der Outdoor-Grow geht langsam, aber stetig voran. Diese Woche gab es einen kleinen Wachstumsschub, und neue Triebe beginnen sich zu entwickeln. Allerdings merkt man den Pflanzen die schwierigen Bedingungen deutlich an die Fächerblätter sind sehr trocken, spröde und reißen teilweise. 😟 Bis jetzt hat sich noch keine der Pflanzen zu erkennen gegeben, ob sie männlich oder weiblich ist. Jetzt heißt es abwarten und hoffen –Daumen drücken für viele Mädels! Hier in der Region ist es weiterhin sehr frisch, mit viel Wind und Kälte. Auch die Sonnenstunden sind aktuell noch recht gering. Hoffentlich ändert sich das bald, und der Sommer kommt endlich. ☀️ Trotzdem werde ich den Outdoor-Grow weiterhin ohne großen Eingriff durchziehen.

The Bruce bangers are huge and falling under there own weight but no complaints here. They are starting to produce alot of trycomes and put on weight. I'm feeding them 600 ppm every 2 days and they could still use more just worried about burning but so far they are just hungry. I harvested the white widow girl they are hanging and will give a final harvest dry weight when they are dry. 2 of the widows got some good purple but all are fire. 🔥 thanks for looking happy growing and god bless.!

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.

The ladies are doing well. Cant complain really but the hard work is yet to come. The different strains are getting bushy and the Blue Gelato #2 has the biggest canopy thus far. They all have been transplanted into 3gall pots. No strong smell even from stem rubbing but the orange Sherbet has a distinctive smell that's so citrusy. feeding has gone well this week. I may run into a pending issue when i bring out the 4x4 tent as I have been using a 2x2 for most of the veg period.Lets see what challenges week 8 brings to this run. The Vanilla Kush is taking training so well. So short and stumpy.

I started these seeds on Friday, January 29, 2021. Planted them on Sunday, January 31st in Happy Frog soil in a manure pot. I've struggled with keeping the temp below 80F while keeping the humidity up. It was around 57%. I had to turn my exhaust fan on medium and the temp is currently 75.7F and the humidity is at 49%. This is with 2 cool mist humidifiers in a 2X4 foot tent. I do have 2 other small fans blowing as well. One inside and one at the intake vent outside the tent. This is my first grow so any advice will be greatly appreciated!! I'll post the end of week one pics later this weekend!
