3/16 324AM PRETTY GOOD ⚡️ 3/16 2:41PM nside the Genetics: How Ice-T & Montel’s Strain Was Born Seedsman Seeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5eMAVat60M 3/19 330AM 👨‍🔬⚡️**Adding L-Proline (the amino acid supplement growers use) to plants on soft water can provide some helpful support against the stresses you're dealing with, but it's not a full fix—think of it as a stress-buffer rather than a mineral replacement.** Soft water (low in calcium and magnesium) often triggers **Ca/Mg deficiencies** in bloom stage (especially with Cha Ching or MaxiBloom, which don't supply much Ca/Mg on their own). This leads to issues like tip burn, leaf curl, weak cell walls, nutrient lockouts, oxidative damage (ROS buildup), and overall plant stress that feels like "the plant is struggling to hold it together." Proline steps in here as an **osmoprotectant**—it's one of the compounds plants naturally ramp up under stress. ### What Proline Actually Does in This Situation - **Helps with osmotic/water balance** — Soft water can disrupt turgor pressure and water movement inside cells (similar to mild drought or salinity stress). Proline stabilizes cell membranes and helps the plant retain water better, reducing wilting or limpness. - **Reduces oxidative stress** — Ca/Mg shortages cause free radical damage. Proline acts as an antioxidant and protects proteins/enzymes, so deficiency symptoms (yellowing, spotting, slowed bud development) don't spiral as fast. - **Improves overall resilience** — In cannabis and general hydro/soil grows, L-proline (or full amino acid mixes containing it) has been shown to boost stress tolerance, speed recovery, and even support better nutrient uptake indirectly. Studies and grower reports note it helps under nutrient imbalance, drought-like conditions, and environmental swings—exactly the secondary stresses soft water creates. - **Bloom-stage bonus** — Since you're already in late flower with Cha Ching/MaxiBloom, proline can support resin/terpene production and bud density without pushing excessive veg growth. It won't magically add the missing Ca or Mg (those are still critical—soft water + high-P bloom nutes often screams for CalMag), but it can make the plant more tolerant while you correct the root issue. ### How Much Effect to Expect Right Now - **Positive but moderate** — Many hydro/RO growers add amino acids (including proline) specifically for soft water setups and report less burn, better leaf health, and stronger finishes. It won't turn a severe deficiency around overnight, but it can slow the damage and give your plants a fighting chance in the final weeks. - **No downside at proper doses** — It's very safe and plants use it quickly. ### How to Add It (Practical Dosing) - **Source**: Pure L-Proline powder (available cheap online—make sure it's the plant-grade L-form, not human supplements). - **Root feed** (with your Cha Ching/MaxiBloom): Start at 0.5–1 g per gallon (about 100–200 ppm). Mix into your res or feed water once a week. pH as normal. - **Foliar spray** (often more effective for quick stress relief): 0.25–0.5 g per gallon + a drop of surfactant. Spray lightly every 5–7 days in the dark period. - **With your current nutes**: Yes, it layers fine—reduce if you see any tip burn. Many run it alongside MaxiBloom + Cha Ching in soft water without issues. - **Best timing**: Now through harvest is perfect, especially if you're noticing stress signs already. **Real talk**: The biggest win will still come from adding a proper CalMag supplement (like Botanicare or General Hydro's) at 0.5–1 ml/gal or whatever your PPM tests call for. Proline + CalMag together is a strong combo for soft water grows. If you're running pure RO/soft, most experienced growers treat this as standard. 3/19 445am BKO Blueberry KnockOut!! (Gelato 44 by RQS & Bubbles Blueberry F4 by Grimm Brothers Seeds) my own creation!!👨‍🔬 A spoonful of butter helps the sugar go down, Im helping. 3/19 10:42PM mmm butter and sugar are just a few ingredients shy of cookie dough, good enough. Now ICE-T BODYCOUNT Grows efficiently in a one gallon with very little effort No real LST, lower than normal lighting, so cheaper to grow. MONTEL: growing great in such a small container!! Should have topped, she is tall. Colors are coming in now, very strong also growing great at low watt so very efficient as well!!!

Tomo muy bien esa desfoliacion que aplique y está tomando fuerza, me llegó una lámpara para completar sus horas de luz

Wasn’t sure on keeping this but I’ve talked myself into keeping it

Los Últimos días de vida de la planta ya casi no la regaba, por falta de tiempo y para no generar humedad ambiente, días lluviosos con cortes de luz nos jugaron una mala pasada por eso se decide cosechar, las flores se ven hermosas de colores morados con verdes y amarillos de las hojas más viejas. Un cultivo sin estrés, aplicando productos nuevos y viendo muy buenos resultados. La única decisión mal tomada fue haber lavado raíces tan temprano, podría haber ganado algo más de peso con el monster bloom. Completado el secado se procede a pesar, excelente resultado, de 1 planta 125 gramos de flores secas sin palos, estoy muy contento con el resultado de una sola planta.

All good, Flowertime

Blütewoche 2 und die Sticky Broccoli hat beschlossen, dass Bescheidenheit völlig überbewertet ist: Von 19 auf 45 Zentimeter in nur einer Woche ist ein neues Stretch-Level. Einige Triebe mussten noch weichen, aber mit rund 95 % ihrer finalen Anzahl wirkt die Architektur jetzt ziemlich durchgeplant. Das Wachstum ist weiterhin gesund und vital, die Blüte nimmt sichtbar Fahrt auf und die kleinen „Puschl“ werden von Tag zu Tag sichtbar größer. Mit einem EC-Wert von 1,8 läuft die Nährstoffversorgung stabil und sie nimmt sauber die Nutrients auf wobei sie keine Zicken zeigt. Auffällig sind die neuen, deutlich schmaleren Blätter, ein Hauch Sativa-Attitüde im Vergleich zum kräftigeren Startlaub. Insgesamt präsentiert sie sich strukturell gut organisiert, auch wenn sie flächenmäßig langsam Ansprüche anmeldet. Durst hat sie wie nach einem Halbmarathon; das Substrat trocknet schneller, als man „Drain“ sagen kann. Ihre Seitentriebe breiten sich ambitioniert aus und sie muss offenbar noch lernen, dass sie nicht allein in der Duschekabine steht. Der Stretch dürfte bald seinen Höhepunkt erreichen, danach sollte mehr Energie in die Verdichtung der Budsites gehen. Viel Tempo, viel Potenzial und eine Diva mit Wachstumshormonen, die genau weiß, dass jetzt ihre große Bühne beginnt. Wie findet ihr den krassen Strech in einer Woche?

Slipped up with ph fluctuation - nutes was 2 high - adjusted daily last 4days. Very happy with the girls recovery!! WILL ONLY KEEP 4 OF THE BEST Im documenting all of this. 1xnew critical orange punch cracked will place in sponge tonight.. Will hopefully be a perfect run with info I'm gathering from other 6..WATCH THIS SPACE.. PLANNING NG ON SPINNING HEADS

First week of 12/12 You can see the buds forming now The blueberry cupcake is stretching wild In comparison with the blue zushi. I also put in the dehumidifier and set it on 65% If the cupcake gets too high I'll just add the second trellis earlier.

Así están en la tercera semana desde que se pusieron a germinar alcanzando los 3 nudos de ramificaciones y mañan procederemos a trasplantarlas a lo que será la maceta definitiva de 7L. Saludos cultivadores!

I think I need to top it the men at the grow shop told me last week to wait for this week because the plant is very dense so every advice is welcome I also got the pH water tester last week but haven't use it yet i only use the pH down and soil tester so now I will use it and get the pH to go back to 6.5 again
