Trying Organics With Better Organix

I get rock hard buds, then if it gets hot, rock hard foxtails :) Some strains do go fluffy with too much heat, but I find the heat adds something extra to the THC She is a desert plant after all, no? :)

well more a grassland plant but some strains prefer the heat, Mexican, Thai etc, where Afghans like the cooler side imo but they like it drier than say a thai, less humid for afghans, more humid for thai.
I think the heat has something to do with the THC-9 conversion. Plants grown under HPS have a higher THC count than say LED grown, this is thought to relate directly to canopy temp being higher under HPS :-)

65 but a 20 degree swing works great(65-85). If you dip the temp right youll drop electric conductivity and bring out anthocyanins(colors) that you have never seen b4.

Very cool! That low temp isn't far off from where the rooms sit with lights off, generally around 68. Maybe with my gavitas it will run in the 80's with lights on. That would be very cool to get some new colors! :D

Okay, very interesting there, I didn't know that. Cool! I'm done with LED's LOL :)

yes temp can be used to stimulate plastids, specifically the Chromoplasts, these are where the latent red, yellow and orange etc is found, typically relating to flowers right. So anyway the plants in lower temps that bloom can share these pigments via the (Chromoplast) plastid system. primarily, the plant does this to attract pollinators, and so sensing the colder temp change, can be enough to show these pigment in the over all plant, thereby increasing the likelihood of attracting a pollinator.

There are 3 main group of plastids, these being Chloroplasts, the green stuff that absorbs sun light, the light excites the electrons and thus energy is captured.
Leucoplasts, these give the plant the white color, so roots, or white bits on varigated leaves, this is Leucoplast, these are where starch grains, lipids and proteins are formed and stored.
And the above mentioned Chromoplasts :-)

Thank you as always for the educational information. :) Seeing some similarities in the words to medical stuff. Leuco must mean white or something. LOL Leukocytes. Very cool! :)

yes, of course the plastid system is relating to cells, and human cells and plant cells are somewhat similar, barring the cell wall really I think. The process of ATP is the same, since this is the currency of energy whatever right. If you understand the language of cells in a human, you can be reassured nothing in the plant world will spin you out. The systems work the same more or less with only the cell wall and possibly relating systems. I am not so confident with human anatomy LOL. Cellulose is essentially the cell wall and thats about 1/3 of all plant matter right and it protects the internals. In itself this is polysaccharides, so simple sugar chains (glucose) that are really fibrils, so woven chains of sugars that make the wall strong but porous, the fibrils overlap so a bit like the structure of a luffa sponge.
Oh, bacteria also produce these sugar chains to (polysacchirides = many sugars) it is a thought that plants actually may have predated on these cellulose generating bacteria, or perhaps they formed a relationship suiting both, hence plants are microbes, and so are we :-)
When you hear people mention pectin, this is in fact what they are talking about, these cellulose fibrils in the cell wall The plant uses Boron for example to make these polysaccharides like cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin which are transport to the cell membrane for construction in to the cell wall. Honestly this shit blows my mind.
If you can get the working of the plant cell, you are some much more ideally placed to understand what the point of nutrients is at all

Gorgeous! :D Do you find the higher temps in the flower room help the buds to develop any faster or bigger than if the temps stay lower?

I haven't noticed much differences besides the random strains who don't like heat. :D They will throw some stress curl on the leaves occasionally, but they all still produce fine with no Balls. LMAO WOOT :)

I cannot wait to show more strains in the future after the heat dies down from summer.

Hey Moto, wanted to share my project I've been working on, and see what you guys think. Couldn't see coughing up any dough for a light mover so I decided to try building a suspended scrog frame that I can attach to my oscillating fan and get 2 inches both ways on the movement from the fan. Let me know what you think. Ran out of string, so still have work to do but using 3" holes top and bottom.

Looks good friend. The only issue I can see in the future is replacing the fan sooner due to the added stress of the scrog. I always love to see things like this. :D Good luck and keep me us updated

Thanks for sharing buddy :)

Have been researching this style greenhouse for the better part of two years and I believe this guy has the best design around in terms of a DIY. What do you think? His plans were legit as well with wind rating to I think 180mph.
