JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #10 OVERALL WEEK #9 VEG This week this lady has really started to grow. It's just due to space that she the only photo I got going right now that I'm not training she was also the smallest plant to start the grow. However I think I'm going to top her one time to keep her about the same height as the rest of the plants growing right now. Stay Growing!!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!!! Thank you ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!!! JOANNE'S CBD / ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS

Good day, everyone!! So my DO Si Dos lady flowering time going well. I light the plant for 12 hours and feed it every day with 2L . The smell is perfect for me - northern scent of mint, citron and some pine aromas. Serious aroma= always good High effect, less stone. I think next week will be the last and I will prepare the plant for harvesting. Thanks Royal Queen for the genetic :)

My plant grew great I over don’t my veg and auto room with having way to many plants she was kinda left in the corner most of her growing life I am very happy with what she did to say I never had to do a lot basically thanks rqs for the chance .. all my other autos using rqs have a lot more space so they can actually breath

Just starting to see the autos flower today, so the stretch is on. All topped and lst except for 2. Photo veg is on, waiting on some clones to root. Room will be filled with 3 top cultivars: 1) Pink Sugar Breath by Visions (GD growmies, top cross, check him) 2) cactus breath by Barrie Grower. Amazing cut 3) Slurricane by Inhouse. If you know you know Special appearance in a scrog net made by Peanut Butter OGKB gifted to me by Original Sensible Seeds. These are one of the very few breeders here on GD that I will sprout. Amazing every time Hope everyone has a good week, except you bots. Bots go fuck yourself

This stain is very stable, Easy to grow as a beginner

(Days 15-21) (Day 21) Everything is looking really good this week. I got my MH hooked up and dimmed to 250w. Plants are responding very well. Not a single sign of yellowing and plants are all a nice healthy green. I covered up the transparent solo cups with some newspaper as the roots are starting to pool around the bottom of the cups. I’m going to transplant everything into 2gal pots with my inoculated 50/50 coco blend sometime next week. There is a nice layer of mycorrhizal fungi starting to coat the surface now. Blackberry breath #1 is still looking oddly deformed still but I am concluding it’s genetic. Going to be trying this ‘Boogie Brew’ tea stuff in the next few days as well. I’m pretty sure the leaf discoloring I saw that one day was from using unstable RO water. I am making sure to stabilize all water with rain/snow/brita before watering. It seems to have cleared up in a just a few days of proper water. I didn’t get around to getting a c02 canister this week but I will grab it at the same time I get those 2gal nursery pots. I’m shocked at how well the air pump is helping the bbb#2. It is always the perkiest plant in the tent and despite being a runt, it’s already outpacing most of the others in terms of new growth. I guess air is an often overlooked factor when growing. Hopefully the coco blend will help get things a little more aerated when I transplant. Been thinking I’m going to just veg until they all show sex and then flip them. (Day 17) I gave my first pest/mold prevention spray today. I then raised the light all the way up to the top of the tent for a few hours. Plants responded well and no spots, burn ect. I’m also going to give my first top dressing today. I’m using my new organic dry amendments scratched into the surface of the solo cups with some added promix as a layer of mulch. I don’t want to see any yellowing at all in veg this run. I fucked up hard last time so I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

I tooked some leaves I want a bigger bud because ther are not that big and i think its almost done so im not going to feed them any more and i will start flushing

What a great plant growing like a perfect bush growing good not a whole lot update I did a whole lot of topping on this plant she’s taking everything I’m dishing out as far as training plants doing good happy with the outcome so far should be a good harvest Day4 of week8. Veg is going great she is really going fast it’s not a very big plant by flower time she be ok on yield so far it’s looking good I’m happy with grown no problems to report

2 are topped and one Grows Normal. They are in Week 4 day 5 of Flowering and they look very good. The smell of 2 are Like Nimm 2 Candys

12/209:12 AM brainstorming labor ideas for my garden with some roommates. We have some pretty old-fashioned ideas about gardening.😂🧛‍♂️🧛‍♂️🧛‍♂️ 12/20 12AM THE SHINING HOTEL IS OPEN FOR THE NIGHT...... FURRIES MUST BE GREAT TIPPERS, I CANT KEEP THE WAITER AWAY FROM THAT GUY!!! BACK TO WORK, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MY EMPLOYERS ARE DEPENDING ON ME.....DO YOU???!!!! 12/29 5pm I still feel guilty about the abortions I've paid for...I also think about the guy that directed Spinal Tap..and I think well..... No... Im not a dick like that, totally different way...but Im still going to hell for it, and so will you! So dont get one!! Didnt see that coming.......DID YOU???!!!! 12/30 1:34AM🚨👨‍🔬 ...That’s fantastic news—your plants looking fantastic with no burn is the ultimate validation that the mix is dialed in perfectly, especially at such conservative doses. Half a milliliter per gallon of Purpinator is on the lighter side (standard recs for flowering cannabis often go 6–15 mL/gal later in bloom, or 2–5 mL/gal in veg), so you’re giving the plants just enough nudge without risking overload or pH swings. Quick Breakdown of Why This Combo Is Working So Well • Purpinator’s Role (from Rhizoflora/General Hydroponics): It’s specifically engineered to boost flavonoid/anthocyanin production for deeper purple hues in genetically capable strains (mostly cannabis, but it works on other plants too). It does this by providing building blocks for those pigments, regulating vacuole pH (more neutral → better anthocyanin expression), and adding magnesium for chlorophyll support without stressing the plant. No PGRs, no heavy metals—just natural compounds that enhance color, terpenes, and resin without forcing environmental stress like cold shocks. At your low dose, it’s gently amplifying what the plant can do naturally, which explains the vibrant results without any tip burn or slowdown issues. • Your Amino Acid Stack (EEA, proline, TMG powder, glycine, glutamine at moderate levels): • Phenylalanine (key precursor): Directly feeds into the phenylpropanoid pathway → more anthocyanins/flavonoids for purple tones. Studies show it boosts phenolic compounds and pigmentation when applied foliarly or in soil. • Proline + Glycine: These are classic stress-protectors/osmolytes—proline especially ramps up under drought/salinity to stabilize proteins and membranes, while glycine supports overall metabolism and can indirectly aid pigment stability. Together, they help plants handle any minor stress from the Purpinator push without wilting or yellowing. • Glutamine: Great for nitrogen shuttling and amino acid synthesis—helps with efficient N use (your original goal) and keeps growth vigorous but balanced. • TMG (trimethylglycine/betaine): Acts as another osmoprotectant (like proline), improving stress tolerance, cell turgor, and potentially aiding secondary metabolite production. In plants, betaine helps with drought/salt resistance and can support chlorophyll function without pushing excessive growth. The synergy here is spot-on: Purpinator drives the pigmentation pathway, phenylalanine supplies the raw material, and the rest (proline/glycine/TMG/glutamine) provide buffering and efficiency so the plants stay healthy and happy. No antagonism or overload—hence the “no burning” and “really coming along great.”🚨👨‍🔬. 12/30 1:47AM.... Neck bleeding again, pain blood gore...goddamnit!!!!! 12/30 2:20AM some general info for fellow broken people club 👨‍🔬🏥Yes, the additional details you described—**inadequate sedation** leading to waking up mid-procedure with an instinctive fight-or-flight response (reaching/grabbing under partial consciousness), and **excessive sedation** causing respiratory arrest (stopping breathing, requiring intervention to restart)—add significant layers to the potential long-term risks from those repeated transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TESI). These aren’t just isolated “bad experiences”; they represent documented procedural complications that can contribute to lasting physical and psychological effects, especially when repeated six times in a short window (four months). ### Why These Specific Sedation Issues Matter Long-Term Sedation errors during spine procedures like TESI are well-recognized risks, particularly with deep or variable levels. The procedure often uses moderate sedation (e.g., midazolam + fentanyl or propofol) to keep patients still and comfortable, but dosing is tricky—too little can lead to awareness/agitation, too much to respiratory depression/apnea. Your case had both extremes, which increases the odds of compounded harm. 1. **From Inadequate Sedation / Intra-Procedural Awareness or Agitation**: - Waking up partially and reacting defensively (as you did) can cause sudden movement, which risks **needle malpositioning** or trauma to nerves, spinal cord, or nearby structures during the injection phase. This is a known concern in literature—patient movement under light sedation has been linked to unintended intramedullary (into the cord) or intravascular injections, potentially leading to: - Direct nerve/cord injury → chronic neuropathic pain, weakness, numbness, or (rarely) permanent deficits like partial paralysis. - Increased procedural trauma → inflammation/scarring (e.g., arachnoiditis or epidural fibrosis), contributing to ongoing back/spine pain or failed back surgery syndrome-like symptoms years later. - Psychologically, even partial awareness of pain/terror during a procedure can lead to **procedural trauma/PTSD-like effects** (flashbacks, heightened anxiety around medical settings, hypervigilance), especially when the body interprets it as an “attack.” This isn’t uncommon in reports of under-sedated procedures and can exacerbate chronic pain perception through central sensitization. 2. **From Excessive Sedation / Respiratory Arrest**: - Brief apnea (stopping breathing) requiring reversal (e.g., naloxone, bag-mask ventilation, or stimulation) is a serious event. While most patients recover fully if caught quickly, repeated or prolonged episodes can cause: - **Hypoxic brain injury** → subtle cognitive changes, memory issues, or mood dysregulation (e.g., worsened anxiety/depression from even brief oxygen desaturation). - **Pulmonary complications** → aspiration risk (if secretions entered airways), or lingering lung irritation, though rare in monitored settings. - **Cumulative stress on the body** → adrenal suppression (from steroids) plus repeated sedation insults can contribute to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or worsened pain sensitivity long-term. - Respiratory depression/arrest during sedation for pain procedures is flagged in safety reviews as potentially leading to delayed morbidity if not perfectly managed. ### Broader Long-Term Risks Amplified by Your Experience Your history of multiple sessions (6 in 4 months) already elevates the baseline risks from repeated steroid exposure and needle trauma: - **Cumulative steroid effects**: Bone weakening (osteoporosis/fracture risk), muscle wasting, endocrine disruption (adrenal insufficiency, weight/fluid issues), or avascular necrosis (bone death in joints). - **Nerve/spinal trauma**: Higher chance of chronic radiculopathy, arachnoiditis (scarring causing burning pain/stiffness), or epidural fibrosis (scar tissue blocking nerves). - **Infection/hematoma scarring**: Even if no acute infection, micro-trauma from repeated insertions can lead to chronic inflammation or scar-related pain. The sedation mishaps likely worsened these by introducing movement-related needle risks and hypoxic stress. ### What You Can Do Now These events happened years ago (2008), so long-term effects would likely have manifested by now (e.g., persistent pain patterns, new neurological symptoms, or bone density changes). If you’re dealing with ongoing issues: - See a **spine neurologist or pain specialist** for updated imaging (MRI/CT) and nerve studies (EMG) to check for scarring, cord changes, or other sequelae. - Consider **bone density scan (DEXA)** if not done recently, especially with steroid history. - If psychological echoes (fear of procedures, triggered anxiety) linger, trauma-focused therapy (e.g., EMDR for medical trauma) can help process it. - Report to your primary doctor—they can review records and coordinate care. What you’re describing was objectively traumatic and dangerous—it’s valid to feel it was “very, very terrible.” Many patients in similar situations have lasting impacts, and acknowledging that is a step toward managing it. If you have more details or current symptoms, I can help refine what to discuss with a doctor. Hang in there."🏥......... LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS DID????🤣😈

Peyote cookies Week 6 Plants took a hit with auto pot trays getting little unclean , washed out trays and flushed plant with cal mag water and then left to dry for a day Feeding at 1.8 and 5.8 High humidity outside , dehumidifier capturing lots of water . Flower sites are starting to widen out and climb , massive resin production , smells awesome . Temp lowered , purple starting to show on flower Relocated dehumidifier and times changed to run intermittently during light cycle to keep heat down and runs in the off cycle to keep heat up and humidity down ( obviously lol ) Relocated Air intake vents Raised fan and also place some bamboo sticks behind in screw holes to have the fan even spaced away from tent wall making fan perform even better at lower speeds and really pull the air from behind n below the fan Intake fan speed reduced as it was also pulling in too much cold air too quickly and not diluting with warm air enough , adjustments made and leafs are reaching for the lights now Lowered second net to move the taller branches outwards to get more light down to lower sites There’s a video at the end of pictures for yall x

Week 16 Day 106 | 25/10/2021: No time today Day 107 | 26/10/2021:💧 They just look so amazing, I can't stop looking at them I think this will be the last watering with nutrients actually, I realised this is meant to be their 2nd last week! Gave them 3ml CalMag, 4.5ml TopMax, and 4.5ml BioBloom. They grow up so fast :’) Day 108 | 27/10/2021: No time today Day 109 | 28/10/2021: No time today Day 110 | 29/10/2021 :💧 So the flush starts today! Actually it’s not a pure flush because I’m still adding TopMax to this watering just to give them that last boost (6ml). I also checked the trichomes and I think I will give them some extra time so will harvest sometime in the middle of week 18 Day 111 | 30/10/2021: No time today Day 112 | 31/10/2021: Girls A & D got a bit of a photoshoot today with better lighting! I still wish I had a better macro camera because the trichome details are really not being captured well. But their colours are still amazing 😍

D29 - 10.15 - Well frens, they may not recover from this one. All my plants look about like this right now, with all the new growth shriveled and some discoloration showing up on the fans. Plants that did not seem affected before treatment are now showing this. Let me know what you think. My treatment for 3 days in a row may have been far too harsh? Will they recover... How could they? I'd have to remove all of this bad growth... This is devastating :( D30 - 10.16 - I got my bugs and released them in all my areas, even outside my tents haha. I'm gonna rest my aching soul for a week before documenting and checking back in here. Current Status : no new damage is happening and the plants are still growing. Some of the growth is not damaged, so there seems to be a little hope. Thanks again for all the good vibes and help everyone. @SpinnerGrow @bulbi @ExperimentGreen @Stick @Mrs_Larimar @BeefWellingtons @HighTV @SommerVirelli If things progress further into contamination I will cut my losses, rigorously clean and tart over. I will have lost 6 weeks of grow, but fuck, what's that in the long run when I'm learning and can fix these issues.

Week number 4 , I had to swap the 55w neons ramps for the HID 600w MH , plants were overtaking the light coverage surface meaning it’s time to give some more growing space under more coverage ! Also, I will start giving the first feeding by the end of the week, around 700ppm’s / 1.4mS, Cellmax Soil Mix is pre-fertilized ( like most of all horticultural Soil Mix ) and as you can see plants didn’t need any extra feeding ! Topping the plants at the 3rd node at the seedlings stage didn’t make any stress at all , they just have redirected the energy in the sides shoots as you can see on the video. (Tip of the week : If you wanna play the chemist with your super duper nootz without burning your sh*t you better get an EC/TDS meter 😉 Following this diary to the end will learn you how to Water/or/Feed your plants) [Day 24] I was planning to Feed the plants by the end of the week, but as always things can changes from what you were expecting 😊 - Water + Earth Grow Mix + RootBooster + AllZymes [Day 27] - Water (P.S: Looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞) This Diary is updated daily ☝️
