Day 43 Update. Well the tall girl stretched past my lights maximum height. So I LST her main branch. See the first 2 pictures. 😀 Its very hard to capture there true beauty with just pictures so I took a video. So give it a watch. Well they exploded this week. The big one doubled her size and I had to move her down too the bottom level because she pushed her LED light out of her way to grow past it. Other ones only gained 5-10 inches. Very happy with these girls. 5 of them got defoliated, the other 2 didn't really need it. I was able to give the 6 bigger girls 2 shots of Bud Igniter before I ran out. I will have to get some more when I have the money. However I did just get Nirvana at the beginning of the week and they seem to love it. I'm still being careful I don't want to over feed them. The 7th one is still in veg at day 28. She got LST and defoliated 2 days ago but now you can hardly tell. I don't think she has even started stretching yet. She could be massive. They are being watered/feed every 1-2 days now.

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.

And here we are in full swing. We have only reached day 19 and our Pineapple Express F1 Hybrid is truly very very competitive. It grows well, regularly, the internodal distance seems average but we are waiting for another couple of floors to rise, as you can see for day 19 we are in very good shape... We're keeping our fingers crossed because there's no word soon but our f1 Hybrids seem to keep what our trusted breeder says. As feeding we are giving the Plagron Alga Grow 2 ml/l. Come on gentlemen, I can't wait to see the flowers. Zamnesia is the best online shop in the situation, you can find everything from seeds, to mushroom kits, through vaporizers and a thousand other things https://www.zamnesia.io Pineapple Express F1 seeds specifically https://www.zamnesia.com/10681-zamnesia-seeds-pineapple-express-f1-automatic.html Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: FRUITY FLAVORS AND ENERGETIC EFFECTS Combining Trainwreck with Hawaiian, Pineapple Express F1 Hybrid Automatic brings a beloved strain to new heights. This autoflowering F1 hybrid cultivar ensures exceptional uniformity, reliability, and stability, making it well-suited to growers of all experience levels. If you've not checked out Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic for yourself just yet, now is the time. GROWING PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC All it takes is 8–9 weeks from germination before Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic is ready to harvest. Thankfully, very little effort is required throughout the growing process, aside from a bit of maintenance, to ensure ample, high-quality harvests. Thanks to its F1 genetics, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic offers superb resilience and uniformity, meaning all plants will have a similar height and appearance, and will churn out comparably large yields. Reaching heights of 50–70cm, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic is not an overbearing plant and can effortlessly slot into any setup. Once ready to yield, growers can see a return in the region of 400–550g/m² indoors and up to 200g/plant outdoors. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Just one hit of Pineapple Express F1 hybrid Automatic treats users to a rich assortment of flavors and aromas. This strain offers strong pineapple notes alongside moments of citrus, spice, and pine, making for a mouth-watering blend that's extremely moreish.

So if you've been looking for a strain to enjoy with friends, Pineapple Express F1 Automatic could be just the thing. As for fertilizers, I'm doing a small comparison experiment to finish off the fertilizers I had at home, it's not 100% indicative, it's only on two specimens but given the stable genetics I decided to try to compare the results of Plagron Vs Aptus , both excellent brands which they will certainly produce beautiful plants which are already of excellent stable genetics. In the next few weeks the comparison will be more evident now the seedlings are still very small and just potted. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

This was another fun grow! Lots of people got these seeds as freebies so there were lots of diaries with good information! 👍 The grow went very smooth although they did take several weeks longer than Seedsman's estimated time. Some were able to grow much larger plants in the expected time. 😕 I'll get that down. The plant with Terpenez does seem a little frostier and did grow a little larger so for now, I do recommend Zelda Terpenez. It also tastes good. Not harsh at all. I plan on doing several tests with my grows to determine what products work best. 😁 👉👊 HAPPY GROWING!! 👉👊

After deciding to start this new growing journey, I chose to germinate a Banana Purple Punch seed from Fast Buds. This particular strain caught my attention with its unique characteristics, and I couldn't resist giving it a try. I began by using a hydrogen peroxide water solution to germinate the seed, which helps oxygenate the water and prevent harmful pathogens. After about 36 hours, the seed cracked open, revealing the first signs of life. With a taproot emerging, I carefully transplanted the sprouted seed into a 20L airpot, ensuring enough room for the roots to breathe and grow freely. This marks the beginning of an exciting new adventure, nurturing this intriguing strain to its full potential.🌱💚 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One of my cannabis seedlings unfortunately didn’t survive in the pot....😭 Now, I’m trying again with two more seeds of the same strain, but I’ve changed my approach. Once they've successfully sprouted, I transfer them into coco tablets. There, they’ll remain until they’ve developed healthy roots before being moved to their final growing environment. I’m hopeful that this method will help me handle the early phase of the cannabis plants more successfully, and I’m excited to see how things turn out.💚💚

Creciendo bastante bien Talvez yo no sé cómo hacer el lst pero está aguantando bastante bien está nena En un semana creció bastante!!! Estoy contento Me está aguantando Ok Sábado No sé si el lst ayuda al crecimiento pero siento que va a avanzando mucho... No tengo ni idea de que estoy haciendo ni estaba preparado para hacer amarres Ni tengo idea de cómo lo voy a hacer... Pero realmente quería experimentar ya que veo que todos lo hacen aún que me da miedo romper la planta o estresar la y tampoco se que cortar!!! 😔

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????🤣😈

Those colours are so beautiful, the forbidden nectar is turning totally purple in the moment. Her orange smell is incredible. Kush Pop Clone is producing insane dense buds in these days, thed are also turning a little bit purple. dehumidifier is a must have. The Rainbow Triangle seems to be the latest plant. She also produces very nice buds

Had my run-in with powdery mildew midway through flower. But bud-washing was my savior! Completely killed all the pm and left me with a still incredibly strong end result. Its seriously some of the smoothest stuff I've grown to date, when smoked in a pipe.. I will be taking away 2 stars from the review because of the susceptibility to pm, however. This grow was a success as far as the autos go, overall... The photoperiod gal still has a few more days. Either way, I highly recommend this strain. Don't make my mistakes, make sure you keep your tent clean the whole grow through, ALONG with the air quality(just as important as the tent itself). That's where I honestly failed. After reading how spore transference works, I felt like such a knucklehead keeping my tent in a... 'homely' condition. Either way, lessons were had and I'm not one to make the same mistake twice! Cheers everyone, hope you all harvest some dankness as well 😀

Thinking I might pull her tonight! Looks so good! 6/29 pulled her tonight she looks and smells great! Not drying the whole plant this time. I had to cut her before I could move her out of my tent so her branches didn't snap from the weight of the buds. Can't wait to see what she comes out too!

This was my second grow and i was going with the Velvet Moon and Francos Lemon Cheese from Greenhouse Genetics. Both performed pretty well. One of the Francos is HUGE as fuck. the other two are smaller. One of them sadly i think got some stun in Week 4 of Veg. Dont know what was going wrong. Cause she still looked very healthy. Besides that, the Velvet are very fine, and didnt get like thick stamps. You have to support it a little at the end of Flowering. Cause the Buds gotten pretty Big. Both Genetics are sticky as fuck and grow MUCH faster than Greenhouse said. Most of the Trichomes are already milky a lot of Amber ones are their too. I think mid of week 8 i can go for the Harvest.

Olá growmies! Foi alimentada dia 19Dezembro com 2.5l de água. É a primeira vez que estou a usar alg a mic da biobizz para ver se a planta n stressa tanto. Perguntei à empresa biobizz quais eram os valores ideais de E.C e eles responderam que os medidores de E.C não são muito fiaveis porque os nutrientes são 100% orgânicos. Recomendaram seguir o schedule deles e ter em conta aquilo que a planta nos pede. Feliz Natal e boas colheitas!
