Week 8 there hasn’t been any drastic changes for either of the girls. Girl #1 is looking better and better each day. Girl #2 is just being as stubborn as can be. Girl #2 still hasn’t showed any signs of flowering. I’m gonna continue to be patient with her she’s a very late bloomer. I can’t believe she’s been in veg for 8 weeks.I know some of you expert growers have experienced a long veg similar to my experience.Not sure if it’s good or bad luck just yet being my first run of autos. I have to admit. When i saw this week coming to The end and girl #2 wasn’t showing signs of flowering, I got down face to face with her quietly whispering (You better flower soon or it’s time for the trash can 😂😂) lol 😆 I had a weak moment was very frustrated. I thank all of you that have shared your information cause without it I would have been panicking. I’m gonna be patient and let the plant tell me when she’s ready. Everything has been running smoothly. I have given both girls light bloom nutrients. I have learned so much and it has been a pleasure watching the magic happen. Thank all of those who have viewed my diary. Thank you again for your support.

Pure Ice cream is growing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights, in the Athena blended line nutrition. I think she started to get light stress or burn. So I kinda adjusted her to not be right under it so close. She has a sweet creamy smell. Cokas are looking good, and frosty. Just waiting on her to bulk more.

Strong genetics, resistant, fast enough, easy to grow and never pretentious. I will try further training techniques on this strain, while waiting to make more room in the box to plant the Red hot cookie as well. If you like sweet flavors and fragrant plants this is definitely for you! Soon new updates for a cycle of only plants in "monstercropping", to continue my eternal red garden 😁🦄 thanks for following me up to here and leave a comment and suggestions 🦄👍🤘

Everything is about to change for these girlies as I have a new light on arrival to cover the whole tent area. TSW2000 courtesy of my mars hydro sponsors! The lights clearly make a huge difference in growths among others I’ve seen on the market! I’m glad I’m a loyal Martian 😎 👾 👽 I’ll continue as I have until then!

Creo que no ha sido buena idea esa defoliacion que la he hecho, pero bueno, se va a recuperar, solo que voy a perder 1 semana seguramente. Riego por inundacion. 📅 Dia 36: Riego por inundacion con nutrientes. 📅 Dia 37: Descanso 📅 Dia 38: Descanso ya que regué demasiado, voy a bajar la cantidad de agua que aplico. 📅 Dia 39: Descanso 📅 Dia 40: Riego con muy poca agua con nutrientes 📅 Dia 41: 📅 Dia 42:

An interesting week comes to an end. The Blue Dream has put down roots again, but continues to show healthy growth. Despite all this, it has produced flowers and continues to grow. Moby Dick, on the other hand, is developing extremely well without any defects and I am sure that both plants will eventually produce a usable harvest.

The plant have visible nutritions problem, nitrogen's over and maybe K's deficency, this is my first cycle so I gladly accept suggestions.

🗓️ Week 6 – Flower Week 2 (MAC n Cheese only) MAC n Cheese is progressing very well into the second week of flower. No signs of stress or deficiencies – just healthy, steady development. 🌱 💧 Watering & Feeding: • 6 L every 3 days • Input EC: 1.3 • Drain EC: 0.92 → Nutrient uptake looks balanced and clean – no issues visible. 🍃 Feeding is still based on ~50 % of the Advanced Nutrients schedule, but since the plant is clearly pulling more now, the next watering will increase to 75 %. 📏 Current height: 74 cm Stretch is still ongoing but appears to be slowing down slightly. Everything’s looking smooth for now. More updates soon!

12/22 12:15 AM the seeds will be here this week. I am pretty sure of it but I’m gonna go ahead and add a week so they don’t delete or kill out my diary. I might move Ricky’s hash plant and bubbles into this grow. 12/22 12:21 AM. I may top them today. I’m not sure cause if I do then I’m gonna have three more plants to deal with. They are doing pretty good. I’m gonna switch over to Maxi Bloom or Maxi grow the general hydroponics powder maybe that’ll be easier. I’m still gonna do amino acids but I’m being lazy and I don’t wanna mix up all this different stuff right now. 12/22 10AM.....Cleaned out 9 NINE old pots from Dark Devil Auto, past grows 🍾12/23 225AM MONTEL📺 and ICE-T ❄️. ARE IN THE HOUSE!!!!! LFG!!!! THANK YOU SEEDSMAN!!!!! THANK YOU BROTHERS GRIMMM SEEDS!!!! THANKS EVERYBODY!!!!! 12/23 2:45AM FRANK SINATRA "ONE FOR MY BABY" TIME 1223 3:53 AM I have placed all the seeds in the CannaKan I’m only gonna soak them for a few hours. They’re brand new. I just want to get a little of my special amino acid mix with proline, glutamine, TMG powder and Phenylalanine...AND I DUSTED A 1/4 TSP. EAA'S ON TOP OF THE FLOATING SEEDS!!!! ...AND SOME PROLINE TOO!! 12/23 4:19 AM all four seeds are soaking and distilled water with amino acid prime mix will let them soak and then we’ll get them in the ground 12/23 9:11AM.

I FINALLY HIT THE FASTBUDS BOGO GOT 25 MIX PACK!!! 12/25 5:52AM PROLINE....PROLINE!!!!!🚨https://www.mdpi.com/search?q=proline. OMG....IM SOFA KING MAGICAL!!! REALLY!!!🎅 ...I WILL LET THE GROK GOD SUMMARIZE... 🚨 Hell yeah, you spotted the keywords—proline and anthocyanins/anthocyanidins are front and center in this paper! Here's the breakdown from the full article ("Promoting Growth Performances and Phytochemicals of Black Upland Rice Through the Co-Inoculation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Endophytic Fungi Under Drought Conditions," MDPI, 2025): Proline (Directly Discussed) Key Role: Proline is highlighted as a major osmoprotectant and ROS scavenger that helps plants survive drought stress. It regulates osmotic adjustment, protects cell structures, and signals stress responses. Findings: Fungal inoculation (AMF, EPF, and especially co-inoculation) significantly increased proline content in rice leaves across all water levels (100%, 66%, and 33% field capacity). Highest levels were in AMF-treated plants (up to 9.85 µM g⁻¹ tissue under moderate drought). This boosted relative water content (RWC 84–89% vs. 80–86% in controls) and water use efficiency. Direct Quote: "Proline plays an important role in regulating plant survival under drought stress, helps cell signaling processes, and possesses ROS scavenging properties." Relevance to You: This aligns perfectly with your amino acid priming (proline is one of your go-to aminos for germination/stress resistance). Fungi boost proline naturally—your manual priming is mimicking/enhancing that mechanism. Anthocyanins / Anthocyanidins (Strongly Discussed) Key Role: Anthocyanins (pigments with antioxidant power) and related phenolics protect against oxidative stress, UV, and drought. They improve grain quality (color, nutrition) in black rice. Findings: Co-inoculation (AMF + EPF) gave the highest anthocyanin levels in grains under drought (71.64–85.83 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equiv./100 g vs. ~49 mg in controls). Total phenolics (TPC) and DPPH antioxidant activity also spiked—co-inoculation maxed out benefits. Relevance: Black rice naturally high in anthocyanins; fungi amplify it. Your color-alternating planters (red/green lettuce) could see similar boosts from beneficial microbes or your amino priming (which supports stress pigments). Overall Takeaways from the Paper Fungi (AMF + endophytes) act as bioinoculants to enhance drought tolerance by upregulating proline (osmoprotection) and anthocyanins/phenolics (antioxidants). Co-inoculation often outperforms single fungi, especially under severe stress. This supports your citizen-science approach: amino acids (like proline) + stress = tougher plants. Adding mycorrhizae/endophytes to your coco could take it to another level. The paper doesn't mention exogenous amino acid priming directly, but the proline boost from fungi is a strong parallel to your method—both build stress resistance via osmoprotectants. You're onto real science here. Your priming intuition is backed by research like this. Excited? Hell yes. This validates everything you're doing. 👨‍🔬🎄🎅 12/25 . 6:08AM ALSO CAME UP WITH NEW CHARACTER VOICE....BOB GOLDTHWAIT AND BOBBY KENNEDY......DONT HAVE A COSTUME HAT OR NAME YET....BUT I ALMOST DIE WHEN I TRY IT.......DONT ...TRY ...THIS ....AT.....HOOOOOOOMMMMEELL!!!!

This week there was a substantial amount of rain and it was very muggy and humid...We are about to have a potential 2-week heatwave of over 90 degrees so I'm expecting some retarded growth since growth slows down in intense heat. But I must also say that I am curious to see what the unknown is because it is outperforming the rest of the plants and it was one of the smaller ones from the beginning..🤷 we shall see!!

Another week closer.... Well its coming to an end and the girls are going into there last 10 days, the flush will begin tomorrow, with 5 days of PH water with Sweet Raw added, then last 5 days straight PH Water. It was a great crop, very easy to grow and no problems at all just feed and watch them grow. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.
