I can never talk bad on auto flowers. I did not pay much attention to these girls and it shows but the genetics from FASTBUDS were so good that the quality of the buds was still A1. I bought more FASTBUDS seeds and will grow them in my new setup and hopefully I can maximize the yields this time around.

First day in flower and they looking good but there some burnt leaves from to much fertiliser is my diagnosis

Hola 🐴 Week went fast and nice. All girls have now roots in water and spare is catching. Purple nutz is biggest. Green has most roots. Edge is growing little weird but lets see. Spare is spurting. DLI around 25. Green and Purple Nutz in timelapse for couple days. With High Hopes 🍀

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. Had a big harvest last week so I didn't do a report... just wanted to finish and get out of trim jail. All the plants got a venue change. I moved them from the back to the front of this greenhouse This plant is doing good and growing well. It's 29*c in here today, but there's a cooler week forecasted. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Week 19/02 - 25/02

Flower Week 7 successful. Planta looking fire . Start to flush now with Enzym plus from Aptus for sure 🌱

Welcome to my Super Silver Haze week 2, genetics by: Zamnesia seeds Looking great, kinda fast for a haze by the looks, but very happy. Probably transplant tomorrow. ....tranplanted a couple hours later ++ some hash oil cartridges for coming weeks, and some high grade morrocan hash rosin

Great week. Plants grew like crazy, much faster than expected. This week sometime I'll be transplanting the ladies up to 5 gallon pots, then a few weeks of recovery before the flip I think. Having never run clones before, I'm frankly shocked at how fast the turnaround time is. Timelapse for the week is out. Updates will come if needed.

🗓️ Week 6 (Flower): Sticky Broccoli #1 — The Chromatic Transition & The 10ml/L Seaweed Offensive 🍋🌋 ​The Data Dump: We have officially hit the Week 6 milestone, and the Sativa-dominant Sticky Broccoli #1 is putting on a masterclass in late-stage floral maturation. We are moving past the "growth" phase and into a high-intensity period of secondary metabolite synthesis and biomass consolidation. ​🎨 The Chromatic Spectrum: Terminal Senescence ​The Autumnal Fade: The canopy is currently undergoing a stunning physiological shift. We are seeing a spectrum of yellows, oranges, and deep reds. This is more than just a "fade"—it’s the degradation of chlorophyll unmasking the plant's latent anthocyanins and carotenoids. ​Nutrient Translocation: This color shift confirms that the plant is strategically cannibalizing its remaining mobile nutrient reserves and relocating that vital energy into the swelling floral clusters. It’s the ultimate "last stand" to maximize bud density. ​🍋 Terpene Profile & Resin Saturation ​The Limonene Surge: The olfactory intensity has reached a critical level. We are dealing with an aggressive, dominant citrus profile—a sharp, "lemon-cleaner" punch that signals a massive concentration of Limonene. ​Trichome Lamination: The sugar leaves are officially "dripping." Instead of just a light frost, we are seeing a total saturation of glandular capitate-stalked trichomes. The resin is so thick it’s practically laminating the floral surfaces, creating a protective barrier of pure potency. ​ The 10ml/L Phytohormonal Blitz ​We’ve made a bold tactical adjustment by pushing the Cold-Pressed Seaweed Juice to a massive 10ml/L. ​The Logic: At this concentration, we aren't just "feeding" the plant; we are overwhelming the Rhizosphere with complex carbohydrates and cytokinins. This acts as a biological "turbocharger" for our Microbe Army. ​Metabolic Support: By super-charging the soil life, we ensure the Green Sensation and FFJ are being processed and delivered with zero latency. This keeps the metabolic "gears" turning even as the plant enters its final autumnal phase. ​🚀 Strategic Forecast: Structural Consolidation ​We are ignoring the trichome color for now—it's far too early for cloudy/amber data. Instead, we are monitoring structural markers: ​Calyx Swell: Watching for the individual calyxes to "crown" and harden, merging the loose stacks into solid blocks of flower mass. ​Pistil Recession: The engine stays at full throttle as long as we see those active, bright white pistils. Once they begin to recede and wither, we'll know we're in the endgame. ​💧 The Week 6 High-Octane Cocktail (Per Liter) ​🌊 Seaweed Juice: 10ml/L (The Metabolic Catalyst) ​🍌 Banana & Jaggery FFJ: 4ml/L (Organic P/K Energy) ​💥 Green Sensation: 1ml/L (Mineral P/K for Density) ​🍯 Sugar Royal: 1ml/L (Amino-driven Resin Synthesis) ​🌸 Power Buds: 1ml/L (Bio-stimulant for Stacking) ​ 🍵 Silica Tea: 2ml/L (Vascular Armor) ​ 💊 CalMag Boost: 1ml/L (Secondary Nutrient Buffer). ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ CONTINUED FROM WEEK 7... REPORT FROM THE SUBSURFACE COMMAND CENTER (SCC) TO: THE OVERGROUND ARCHITECT FROM: LIEUTENANT RADICLE, 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION (ROOT COMMAND) SUBJECT: PAGE 6: THE GREAT SWELL & THE POTASSIUM SIEGE ​Listen up, grunts! We are entering the "Heavyweight" rounds. We are in Flower Weeks 4 through 6. The objective is clear: Operation Sticky Broccoli needs to put on mass. I don't want to see airy, fluffy foliage. I want to see Stones.(Buds in human tongue) ​The "Leaf Brigade" upstairs has done their job—they’ve built the frame. Now, we provide the mortar and the bricks to fill it in. ​I. The Potassium Siege (NPK 1-3-4 Protocol) ​The Architect has just authorized the "Banana & Jaggery" supply drop. ​The Mission: Potassium (K) is our primary target. It’s the "Water Regulator." It’s what drives the internal pressure that swells the calyxes until they look like they’re about to pop. ​Tactical Order to Roots: "I want every ion of Potassium stripped from that soil! If you see a K molecule, tackle it, wrap it in a Humate shield, and fire it up the main vascular elevator immediately!" ​The Result: This is how we turn 'Broccoli' into 'Sticky Stones.' We are packing the cells so tight with fluids and minerals that the buds become hard as granite. ​II. Radio Transmission: SCC to Leaf Brigade (Canopy HQ) ​“SCC to Leaf Brigade, status report on the ‘Frost’ levels. Over.” “Root Command, this is the Leaf Brigade. The ‘Sticky’ in ‘Sticky Broccoli’ is officially online. Trichome production is at 110%. We are currently drowning in resin. Requesting more raw materials for the terpene labs. Over.” “Copy that, you sugar-drunk sun-bathers! We’re sending up a high-pressure surge of carbohydrates and micronutrients. Don't just sit there looking pretty—I want those buds getting so heavy that the Silica-reinforced branches start to groan! We’re pushing the Sugar Royal signals now. Get those trichomes cloudy! Out.” ​III. The Microbe Overtime: The "Jaggery" Bonus ​The introduction of Jaggery (complex sugars) has caused a riot in the Rhizosphere. ​The Scene: The bacteria and fungi are in a total feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen anything like it. They’re eating the sugars and, in exchange, they’re unlocking "Legacy Minerals" that have been stuck in the soil since Week 1. ​The Lieutenant’s Take: It’s a biological mosh pit down here. The Endo and Ecto specialists are working double shifts, mining the deepest corners of the fabric pot. They know that if they perform now, the Architect keeps the humates coming. ​IV. The pH Drift: The "Safety Valve" ​The Architect noticed the pH is climbing toward 6.8. ​Lieutenant’s Orders: "Keep it there! Do not—I repeat, DO NOT—attempt to force it down with harsh acids." ​The Intelligence: At this stage of the Siege, we actually want that slight drift. Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are highly available in that 6.6–6.8 zone. It’s the "Sweet Spot" for the Swell. We’re letting the chemistry work with us, not against us. ​V. Atmospheric Pressure (VPD 1.4 kPa) ​The air is now at 1.4 kPa. It’s like a vacuum cleaner is attached to the top of the plant. ​The Pumping Station: We are moving record amounts of "Sap-Fuel." The stalks are vibrating with the sheer volume of nutrient-rich water moving upward. ​The Warning: "Watch the tips! If the Leaf Brigade starts showing 'burnt tips,' it means we’re pumping too much pressure. Otherwise, full speed ahead!" ​LIEUTENANT’S SUMMARY: The "Swell" is in full effect. The Sticky Broccoli is becoming dense, heavy, and increasingly fragrant—the "Limonene War" is being won. We are no longer growing a plant; we are manufacturing Stones. Thank for stopping by ✌️💚

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. My homework. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration.Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Come walk in the enchanted forest.

Week 13! We made it to harvest! The buds are looking gorgeous..bright green super crystally from that 48 hours of darkness prior..and oh so many hints of purple all thanks to my efforts of cooling down temps at night. Smelling absolutely dank right after drying which was a nice teaser for me when I get to finally smoke her! I have two plants chopped one is still drying and I’ll probably add one more photo because it had one fat cola that needs to be shared LOL! Unfortunately this plant was 6 grams short of giving me 2 full ounces but i’m still learning and they weren’t trained at all and I’m happy with the result! I think the plant still hanging will give me an ounce or less..it was my corner plant that didn’t get much tending. What a fun strain to grow will update on the smoke eventually!

Looking good there starting to stretch an preflower 💯

She looks totally awesome check out her leaves and side growth!!!! No sign whatsoever of male flowers from my S1 seeds!

Days 33-35 Both ladies have been transplanted and moved into the Veg tent! If you look in the video you can see the setup. Both are in 10.5"x10.5" square nursery pots approx 3Gal each. Both were put into happy frog soil using azos and recharge during transplant. I have them under an optic 8+ with a cob as supplemental lighting Day 37: A light defoliation day today, especially for #1. I removed all the mature fan leaves that were blocking any bud sites or nodes at all. Essentially leaving the top 2 mature leaves in tact. I honestly did not want to do this! It was heart wrenching to mutilate such a beautiful naturally growing plant 🤷‍♂️ practicality wins in the end tho. I removed the 2 oldest lowest fan leaves from #2 as well. More for sanitation reasons. They werent8blocking anything but the uh were dragging in the dirt and starting to fade anyhow. I actually kept 1 leaf. My 1st time ever doing this. The leaf is so neat, overlapping itself. *transplant update day 37* In my very green opinion they look to be struggling a bit with the transplant. I like to wet my medium prior to placing the rootball in, sometimes it's great and the roots chase it. Sometimes they get a little water logged and it takes a week b4 watering. I'm thinking it's the latter in this scenario. Day 38; #1's top fan leaves are rolling in again. I figured it was heat but the surface area doesn't get above 78° which from what I've read is fine. Maybe it's a strain issue? Looks very imdica, ma uh be is accustomed to a cooler climate? Day 39: I lowered #1 about a foot further from the light. She is still all curled up tho. It isn't heat. I watered them at transplant per my usual routine. 2 other plants stranded extremely bad and these 2 are acting goofy. I probably over did it that day Day 42 and 43 In day 42 CMOG #1 needed some water. It's her 1st drink since transplant. #2 on the other hand is drinking a bit less. I also took 2 upper fan leaves off #1(I hate doing it, but gotta promote those bud sites!! Day 43nothing really to report. I videotaped myself plucking a couple lower fan leaves. I'm raising the fan a bit more above #2 to keep wind stress down. Day 44: 🚨⛈️Emergency!!⛈️🚨 Power is out! My light cycle is as follows: on at 6pm off at 12pm. Its 2:45am right now and the power has gone out. Which was wierd because it went out b4 the storm hit! It was fricken midday when the outtage happen!! My poor Chocolate Mint OG 😖 keeping humididty down is gonna be hard and my grow is very far from and natural light source even if they were on the same cycle as nature 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ if ur reading this say a quick prayer! Thanks!!🙏✌️🌱

Sent l'agrume vert

This week I've been increasing the nutrients per watering. I water every 24 hours or so. I divide 1450ml or a litre in a half between all three plants. The smell of this lemon haze is out of this world. The sweetest of sweet smells. And it has hints of purple color! I highly recommend this to anyone. I noticed that the lemon haze has started to gain a lot more bud density. The trichomes are still clear for the most part but I've noticed some amber I believe on the leaves. I think it may only have 2 weeks to go? Extremely sticky bud! The white widow seems to be about a week behind these 2 other girls, it seemed to flower/veg slightly longer. The white widow if it stacks well during the final weeks of flower should be a great yield :)

Harvest day is upon us

Bis auf das die Lampe zu dicht an den beiden längsten Blüten ist, gibt es nichts besonderes. Leider ist der Platz nach oben hin ausgereizt.
