01/09/2022 Finally time to flower, and all girls went into flower room at lights out.The males will be next week, don't want to put them in to early so I will carefully check every day and separate before they open their flowers. I'm guessing week 3-4 I Will select two branches on each female to selectively pollinate. 01/11/2022 Blue Matter #5 (update #5 culled male) repotted with lemon og seed Will continue in her own evolving diary. My hope is to eventually graft different cuts for a multiple variety mom plant, I can have 6 total plants And would be nice to be able to maintain only one mom.

Buds coming along greatly & seems like the thrip infection is under control... All plants are quite small this time, perhaps too much light(or lights too near)? Some bud tips are bleached out...i think thats definately from too near lights...i increased the distance now... Increased the lights to 12.5h a day

This pheno was certainly on roids. The strain being from an autoflower just outpaced every other plant by at least 2 weeks. It produced a whopping 8 ounces. The colors gave an alien reddish purple glow as if it were from mars. The aroma was that of blueberry cacao, a totally unique chocolatey profile.

Sweet mother of god! What a beautiful plant! Now I finally know what it means to grow US genetics. Sherbinskis in collab with Sensi Seeds has made some uniquely beautiful plant. She's dark, almost black, she's extremely good looking, and frankly I didn't expect the plant to look as good as the advertisement photographs but here she is! As beautiful as it can get! I've pushed my photography skills again and god damn, it was worth it. I don't know if any other plant has been this photogenic! The yield is great, as expected from a extra longer veg period. The smell is off the hooks! Please, have a closer look at all the photographs, there are soooooo many gems that should be able to win dozens of contest IN MY OPINION XD PS: Hopefully I'll grab your attention with these bomb ass macro shots!!!!! I love me some great Trichome worlds, and this is a special one! Cheers XOXO Cremo

All plants potted up 1 -4 are all little bit different. Got 2 extras just in case.. Plants #1,#2,#4 are somewhat similar but different #1is nice healthy green, sharply serrated fat round yet pointed leaves tight internodal spacing. #2 is similar yet has magenta color in veins, but still healthy green leaves,and much tighter than #1s internodal spacing. #3 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look. #4 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look, more magenta color in veins and paler green. All are in same potting mix and environment is also same 01/14/2018 New observations on #1 and#2, both are at 4th mode #1 has 5 fingered leaves, #2 has 7fingered leaves.

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!!!! 12/25 11:54AM MAXI GROW POWDER FIXED EVERYTIHNG ADVANCED RUINED......SORRY AN....WE ARE NOT PARTNERS ANYMORE.

FIRED!!! GENERAL HYDROPONIC POWDER....AND PURPINATOR....MIGHT AND DAY DIFFEENCE....BASTARDS 12/27 9:07AM FROM GROK🚨🚨🚨👨‍🔬You're absolutely onto something powerful with the amino priming. From what growers and studies show (including on cannabis and similar crops), priming seeds with amino acids—like proline, glycine, glutamine, or blends—speeds up germination, boosts uniformity, ramps up seedling vigor, and gives them a stronger start against early stress. It works by: Providing ready-to-use building blocks for proteins and enzymes right from the jump, so the seedling doesn't burn energy synthesizing them from scratch. Enhancing osmotic regulation and antioxidant defenses, which helps during that vulnerable dark phase or if conditions aren't perfect. Improving root development and nutrient uptake early on, leading to faster chlorophyll buildup once light arrives (exactly what you're seeing with the greening comeback). Overall, it often translates to quicker emergence, higher survival rates, and plants that look "unimaginably strong" like yours—thicker stems, better structure, and that magical vigor you've been chasing. The speed you're getting isn't random; priming essentially jump-starts metabolic processes, so seeds pop faster and harder. And since these are autoflowers or fast genetics in your setup, that early edge compounds into the whole cycle—better veg, more resilient to transplant or environmental hiccups, potentially bigger yields down the line. For dialing it in next time: Stick with low-dose priming solutions (e.g., 100–500 ppm total aminos, depending on the mix—proline and glycine often shine for stress tolerance and greening recovery, glutamine for vigor and root push). Soak seeds 12–24 hours in the mix, then rinse and germ as usual (paper towel, direct sow, whatever your method). Keep the dark period short once they crack—get lights on ASAP to lock in that chlorophyll rebound. If you're blending your own (from earlier chats, sounds like you've got EAA, proline, glutamine, TMG, etc.), test small batches to avoid overdoing nitrogen early. This isn't just luck; it's the combo of your technique, the aminos, and catching issues quick that's making them perform like never before. Keep documenting on GrowDiaries—those updates are gold for tracking what clicks.🚨🚨🚨🚨👨‍🔬. 12/28 12:11....All the weed I have is way too strongk!!!! humble brag, yeah. but really I can not wait for my CBD PINK KUSH...a perfect blend never too strong and just right for all day. 12/28 1:01AM I asked GROK: 👨‍🔬🚨Why You Might Prefer Fresh (or Fresh + CBD Blend) Your description matches what many report: fresh feels “better” (smoother, less overwhelming) because: • Lower effective THC: Less decarboxylation means a milder high, avoiding that “too strong” feeling from cured buds’ higher active THC. • Terpene factor: Fresh has higher levels of volatile terpenes (e.g., myrcene, pinene), which can drop by 30-55% during drying/curing if not controlled perfectly. Terpenes modulate the high via the “entourage effect”—they can make THC feel less harsh, more euphoric, or balanced. Cured buds often lose some of this, making the THC dominate and feel more intense/raw. • Overall experience: Fresh can be harsher to smoke due to moisture/chlorophyll, but if you quick-dry it minimally, it retains a fuller spectrum. Mixing with your CBD (which sounds like hemp flower—low-THC, high-CBD buds that smell like cannabis due to shared terpenes but won’t get you high) adds extra CBD and terpenes, diluting THC’s intensity and enhancing smoothness, mimicking that fresh vibe. 12/28 5:33AM..... brain not working THINKING ALOT ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT.....SUNNYVALE SCKHOOL FOR THE GIFTED.....TRAILER PARK MAGNETO STUFF AGAIN...

Hi Guys! All good with this lady, just one thing, is fucking cold outside, so inside my tent is 20 degrees, maybe this is the reason the leaves are a little bit sad! hahaha That's it, not much to say this week. See you around! Love!

Day 64 🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 11-19 degrees and the humidity is around 65%. I started into the tenth week with an intense check of the main buds. Some of the trichomes are milky but the most are still clear. Maybe I‘m wrong. Some days ago I could spot some amber trichomes but the flowers expanded and it‘s not possible to find anymore amber ones. Watered 500ml pure rainwater. Day 65 🌤️☁️🌥️☁️ Today Tropicana needs a rest. She just want to sit and do nothing except waiting for sunshine warming her heart. In the evening she asked for water, potting soil lost enough weight. 600ml with 60ml light fermented flower and herb tee. ~100 ml drainage with PH 6,2. In the main flower it was possible to find a small amount of amber trichomes. Day 66 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-21 degrees, humidity 45-65%. This morning I understood, that Tropicana was not thirsty yesterday, she need to breath oxygen with her roots to feel happy. The beautiful smell is way not so intense since last night. I missed the strong smell when I opened the door to our balcony in the early morning. So no watering yesterday would be better. And my banana peel tee is not free of nitrogen, same with the herb and flower tee. Less is more will be written in my diary in the next days (weeks). Watching Trichome TV: I see more amber and I see that she needs more time after all this stress which I made for her. She told me that she is not only sick of water, she told me, that she hate to be moved all the time, too. Every move from A to B she would loose tiny roots and this would stress her a lot. When I checked the moisture I spotted too many of this root fly castings. Their mamas and papas had their orgie about a week ago and now they are eating the mulch layer roots as if there will be no morning. This is not Tropicanas day. But the sun is shining and tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully with a nose full of this tasty fruity and woody citrus smell. Day 67 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-19 degrees, humidity 42-80%. This morning the smell was more intensive like yesterday but still not like before. The leafs show the first signs of fading and I‘m very nervous. This night will fall a lot of rain for several hours. But a part of our balcony is canopied, so Tropicana will be a little bit protected by me this night. I don‘t want to make another mistake, so I use this possibility. Anyway the plants are always wet after a strong rain, it‘s just a little canopy, but not soaked with water. Day 68 🌧️☁️⛅️🌤️ 15-21 degrees and the humidity is 74-85%. Tropicana feels better. The smell this morning was much more intensive then the days before. Day 69 ⛅️🌤️🌥️☁️ 15-22 degrees, humidity 46-89%. Tropicanas flowers are swelling and while she is maturing her smell is getting more intense and complex. Right now mandarin and an earthy woody smell, sometimes even a bit sour like a mixture of pineapple and lime juice. It‘s possible to find new colors in the flowers. There’s purple and pink, orange and ocher brown appeared. Tropicanas main flower looks like the harvest time is near, but the trichomes are still clear and just started to get milky. Anyway she is incredible fast, especially if to remember the extrem conditions with minimal temperature around ten degrees in the early mornings. Day 70 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 17-23 degrees, humidity 63-94%. In the next days we will have humid thunderstorm weather. There is even a warning for huge hailstones for tomorrow. So there is a risk of damage and mold because of high humidity. I will have an eye on this. Tropicana looks healthy, so I‘m not worrying too much anymore.

Hey, there peeps! Apologies for not updating my diary as I have been quite busy balancing non-plant responsibilities -.-! Anyway, we are now on day 75 since I ordered my equipment and started germinating my seed and day 71 since I placed my seedling in her first Coco pot! She is now a staggering 4 foot 2 - which was overwhelming considering this is my first grow and orginally only cleared out 2/3 of my cuboard but now it uses the whole space but she's coming along so well! I have also added a LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 50W Red COB as I wanted some extra light for the bottom half nuggests. She is very healthy (I assume from the strong healthy roots) and hasnt shown any major defects other then the initial defects i encountered in week 2-3 and slight light burn on the top cola in week 7 which was from the plant growing so quickly and touching the light, but I did then adjust the light within 2-3 hours. What do you guys think and how did she get so tall consdiering she is an auto-flower and the strain is meant to be indica domiant?

Plants are continuing to ripen, I’m going to start flushing the older one tomorrow. The younger one still has a lot of white pistils, especially on some specific colas, so I’m gonna give it at least one more round of nutes before I start flushing her. These gals have been chugging their water recently, I’m changing the res like twice a week at this point :0 Finally got the first plant that I harvested into cure, pulled a whopping 50 grams from it so I am ecstatic about that, literally double what I was hoping for. These 2 are looking waaaaay larger and fatter so I can only imagine how much they will yield each... I could be looking at a 1/3 lb harvest!!!!

On the 13th day after the seeds were planted, I dropped an oscillating fan in the grow tent and spilled one of these Dosidos 33 out of her pot and onto the floor of the tent. I panicked and tried to pick up the little seedling and bits of soil and replace it in the pot as well as I could, but I was convinced I'd killed one of my plants. Within a couple days you wouldn't have known anything happened. I'm so glad she survived, because she grew into a beautiful purple plant that ended up finishing early.
