19 May 2021 My Blue Ox baby is looking good! She is growing and her leaves are looking better. I defoliated the few old sickly leaves that were cut when she was cloned and she seems better for it. I fed her half a gallon of chilled 50 degree water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and didn鈥檛 require adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. She still had plenty of runoff, and the pH was 5.79, and TDS runoff was 2615 ppm. The tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. I鈥檓 pleased with her progress so far, except her branches are still a little too short to start any LST. She鈥檒l get there.... eventually. 21 May 2021 The Blue Ox is thriving! Her leaves look good, and her stalk is starting to fatten up and fortify itself for later growth. She and her tent mate are soon going to outgrow their current home. I鈥檓 still on the same feeding chart, so here鈥檚 what was given: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml. My pH monitor stopped working, so I used history as my guide. Detailed record keeping wins again! The solution has historically been right on 6.5, and doesn鈥檛 need adjustment. The TDS meter was 842 ppm. Runoff was what was expected, and the TDS there was 2588 ppm. I chilled the water to 53.3 degrees F. The tent temp was 78.5 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. I鈥檓 still only feeding half a gallon. 23 May 2021 My Blue Ox is starting to grow like an ox! She and her tent mate are going to out grow their home sooner than I can get them into a larger one. I want to go ahead and flip her, but I don鈥檛 think my veg tent can take 2 flowering plants. I鈥檒l figure it out. I鈥檓 keeping the nutrients at the same stage till I think she needs more. My pH meter is officially dead, but luckily my records are doing me well. I fed a half gallon of chilled (51 degrees F) water with CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and runoff TDS was 2841 ppm. The tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of the second week of this diary (6th week of growth), and I鈥檓 planning on switching to the flowering stage tomorrow to start off the 7th week. My Blue Ox is getting big, and I don鈥檛 want to veg anymore! I will not make the same error twice! I let my 1st plant veg for 10 weeks from seed, and it鈥檚 a BEAST! It takes up a whole 48 x 48 x 80 inch tent all by itself!! Never again. So today I fed half gallon of chilled water (46.6 degrees F) with CALiMAGic increased to 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The pH was 6.6 and didn鈥檛 need adjusting. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff for pH was 5.6, and TDS was 2701 ppm. Tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. I plan to defoliate a lot very soon to prepare for fresh buds to grow. She鈥檒l have to flower in the small tent for 3 weeks then I鈥檒l move them to the bigger tent so they have room to grow.

So after four weeks away, I didn't know what I'd come back to if anything. We were evacuated due to fires, roads etc all damaged. So the plants were on their own. Just water and light, no nutrients at all. As you can see it suffered a little stunted growth but she finished really well. I'm grateful they survived. But the experiment has failed really. I wanted to see what was possible with modern auto genetics. But with four weeks on plain water the results won't be any use to me really. But...this lemon cherry cookies has finished fast and given me a decent little yield considering the abuse. I will harvest now and update with bud pics, dry weight and smoke report. Apologies for the gap in updated, but I couldn't get access for photos obviously:(

Everything was going well in the first week, but unfortunately, a mistake caused stress in the plant. The distance between the lamp and the plant was too short. This week, I gave the plants a small amount of root growth stimulant

Done abit of lst this week on a few of the big ones First timer not really got a clue what to do so trying trial and error One half the back of tent got a trellise over them the other half have had the fam leaves tucked under and the ones you see under the smaller light have been tied down about 90 degree angle Also a few showing signs of maybe nutrient deficiency of some sort could anybody give a hand as to what this is also something I鈥檝e noticed over the last week a lot of the leaves look almost chewed off complete fan leaves gone only the stem left this is a indoor grow first time I can鈥檛 seem to see anything in the tent or any signs of snails or slugs and I鈥檝e put it down to water landing on the leafs and burning them away completely (pot head conspiracy ) any help would be much appreciated please

6th day @gottagrowsometime many thanks for your help, I've changed my setup with Mars Hydro FC 3000 , 25% dimming and 55 cm from the plants 鈽橈笍 This week couldn't get any better 7th day I added a fan and put the FC 3000 power supply out of the tent, lamp lowered to 45cm from the plants.

Very delicate strain, weak and quite particular ...Maybe he's not even a fan of slightly higher temperatures ... We'll wait for them to dry to find out more 馃槈馃

Greetings Grow Diaries! - BubbleSnake finally arrived! Have been searching months for this thing and I finally found a Canadian distributor. Very happy with this purchase. Say goodbye to Airstones! - 24hr Aerated Compost Tea with EWC, Kelp, Alfalfa, MycoGrow, Molassas, and a bit of HydroGuard from my DWC days :) - Seedlings are chugging along nicely. Transplanted to 1gals at the end of the week. ProMix HP + EWC + 70/30 blend of Gaia Green All Purpose & Power Bloom. - Noticing a deficiency or possible lockout with one (top right) after transplanting. - Looks like I have a case of spidermites on the clone :( Going to treat with Neem Oil and Neem Meal. Wish me luck! Hope they don't spread to the seedlings. Stay Tuned and Stay Blessed! 馃檹馃懡

Permanent Marker weed strain possesses the genetics for high anthocyanin production, which is responsible for its signature deep purple. While the genes are present, the expression of these colors is often enhanced by "thermal stress" (lower temperatures) during the final three weeks of flowering, which triggers the production of these pigments. 馃憢 Raising the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the growing medium to avoid over-immobilizing nitrogen, on the flip side, being careful not to trigger early autophagy. Moderate, controlled increases in sugar support the energetic demands of flowering and act as a signal trigger, but excess sugar is more likely to inhibit flowering or damage the plant. Balance, like everything else. Visually, when the chloryphyll green gets darker, it is a subtle indicator that the concentration of nitrogen is increasing / more is being stored than is being used. I noticed when you push very high intensity lighting, it slowly fades the green as the plant degrades chloryphyll faster than it can be replenished. When the green of the leaf continually gets darker, it is an indication that the concentration levels of nitrogen are increasing, and I dont want to increase light intensity. Turn down the nitrogen faucet. C:N ratio dictates the rate at which nitrification occurs, if at all. The Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio acts as a critical biological "on/off switch" (or regulator) for nitrogen turnover by determining whether microbes immobilize (consume/tie up) or mineralize (release) nitrogen during the breakdown of organic matter. This ratio regulates microbial activity by defining the balance between available energy (carbon) and building materials (nitrogen). The C:N ratio in a medium acts as a critical regulator of nitrification, effectively functioning as an "on/off" switch for the dominance of either autotrophic nitrifying bacteria or heterotrophic bacteria. The shade of green in chlorophyll is subtly linked to the enzyme Rubisco through a co-evolutionary, functional relationship designed to optimize photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light for energy, reflecting green light, a process that ensures the "light-dependent" reactions provide the correct, controlled amount of energy (ATP and NADPH) needed by Rubisco to perform its "light-independent" carbon fixation. Because Rubisco is a relatively inefficient and slow enzyme鈥攐ften considered the bottleneck of photosynthesis鈥攃hlorophyll and the overall structure of the leaf have evolved to manage energy distribution to prevent overwhelming the Calvin cycle. While chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light, it is not perfectly efficient, and leaves appear green because some green light is reflected or transmitted. This reflection allows light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, preventing the surface chloroplasts from becoming overloaded and enabling a more efficient distribution of energy to the high volume of Rubisco located throughout the leaf's mesophyll. The rate of chlorophyll-driven electron transport (light reactions) is matched to the potential rate of carbon fixation (Rubisco activity). If Rubisco were faster, leaves might be darker; however, the "shade of green" represents a balance that prevents chlorophyll from producing more energy than the inefficient Rubisco can process. The green color itself is a byproduct of a photosynthetic system tailored to feed a slow, yet crucial, enzyme (Rubisco) just enough energy to maximize carbon assimilation without inducing excessive oxidative stress or inefficiency. The shade of green in leaves is directly linked to the concentration of chlorophyll, which is in turn strongly correlated with the amount of Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and, consequently, the rate of carbon fixation. Darker green leaves generally indicate a higher concentration of both chlorophyll and Rubisco, signifying greater capacity for photosynthesis. Increase output or reduce input. Subtle tells. While an excess of nitrogen (specifically ammonium) can cause an imbalance, nitrification鈥攖he microbial conversion of ammonia to nitrate鈥攊s highly sensitive to a variety of environmental, chemical, and physical factors. Because it depends on specific, slow-growing bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) and archaea, anything that stresses these organisms can disrupt the process.

Mistakes.. * I switched from Advenced Nuts to TopCrop and didn't realize the second one is not balancing ph of the substance so you need to do it yourself. * After realizing that I had a ph imbalance I didn't act fast, somehow I thought I would be a good idea to wait till the autoflovers would finish the cycle and I would take care of this one after, but I lost time and the desiese became stronger. * After I fixed the ph problem, I switched the light schedule to 12/12. I had to let it vegetate for more time to be fully fixed and switch after, but I was in a hurry.. So the results are not so good. But believe me, its some strong ass weed :D Anyway I've learned a lot from this grow. Next one will be a lot better

They still have to get used to their new environment... Light stress from the cold nights and a little lack of nutrients in the soil make them yellow but hopefully that will be all right. Because I give it my own schedule which is nutrition nutrition water. nutrition nutrition water.

All things good this week! Did my weekly water change on Monday and kept nutrients the same as last week, so right around 3.2-3.3 EC (Gunna start lowering EC around week 6 of flower). Wish I had my reservoir set up since PH has been dropping a little, been using a good amount pf PH up to kept PH around 5.9. Did a lot of defoliation, lollipopping and turned up the lights the slightest amount. Got about another 5 inches of stretch this week and shouldn't see much more. Time for the buds to develop and fill in!!! Terps is coming in strong, like you're walking through an orange field.

03/23/2024- Yoooo gang update!!!!! =============================== =============================== SOOO what's brackin gang!?! Did some training and increased light to canopy intensity and man did she really take off! So I'm using frozen water bottles of various sizes to make sure the water in the tank stays cold, trying to keep it between 60 and 66 Fahrenheit so it's not gunna develop unwanted issues t That comes with warm Temps in a dwc setup, using UC Cultured Solutions UC Roots, which is really great for increasing root development and also descaling and cleanliness but yea other than that we letting her really stretch, I AM GOING TO MAKE HER A MOTHER FOR THE NEXT TENT WHICH WILL BE UP IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH, but yea once her clones are rooted in the big tent I'm gunna flip her and she gunna take off!!! Thanks for stopping by guys let's keep it growing!!!! LFG!!!

She had a mutant leaf but she kept on growing through it, it's a little funky still but not as bad as it first looked. She seems to be thriving now so all is good.

Flushing one plant. The other plant i might start flushing next week. Cleaned up the late flowered plant. Defoliated a few leaves.
