Soooo week 10 :) These girls are looking reeeeaaal nice SS1 (on the left) is <25 days from harvest and SS2 has still a while to go id say ๐Ÿ˜„ But all in all things are looking super good buds are looking super nice and frooosty with SS1 starting to shift its energy into budding whereas SS2 is still throwing out some wild pistols :) The smell is super strong which Iโ€™m happy about, some staaaanky skunkalicious bud๐Ÿคค I have stopped giving SS1 nutes, giving her only water after her flush in week 9and sheโ€™s doing awesome! SS2 Iโ€™m still giving biobizz grow and bloom 0.5ml/l ea. And she is also loving her environment Got some mushies growing in the one pot though ๐Ÿ˜„ pulled them out just to be safe still have to do some research :) might have something to say about the enviroment at the surface of the soil. ??

Hello Growers and Tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! 21-day defoliation has come.. These pictures were taken on day 20 of flower As you can see in the pictures I did a little defoliation of the bigger fan leaves. She's pretty advanced compared to the other ladies. Buds sites are formed, strong aroma going. Her structure looks like a straight up garden bush. Took the LST great ended up with a nice open, spread canopy. With the defoliation done, buds will be getting much more light exposure and grow a bit more before gaining weight. Really happy with the results so far with this strain. That's it for this week One love!

7/28 1220AM MONDAY.... Bubbles are looking ok, I need to trim them back to 4 colas, I am really stressing them with small space limitations, and temps at 80 to 81 7/29 Tuesday 5:45 AM๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ 6:15 AM water with methylene blue two pills of nitric boost amino acid, five drops of Quick Sorb and I added bud factor X today and a quarter mL per liter of rhino silica๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ. 1030 AM I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m gonna do. It turns out the bubbles plants are terrible. The stems are all very weak and theyโ€™re growing bushy at the top. I didnโ€™t get them separated so all of the side branches grew up really long itโ€™s completely useless. It is absolute this plant. It will be thrown in the garbage. Can you fucking believe I have to throw another entire plant in the fucking garbage๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก. TREVOR plant cut down to 2 colas only, very top heavy not liking my grow space, had 2 more than I wanted so it's all fucked.... will remove shitty small colas and get maybe 2 good colas per plant, not expecting much. 1219pm....HOLY SHIT I FUCKED THESE.....TOOK OFF SOME COLAS.....NOT ENOUGH SPACE AND I PUSHED THEM TOO FAR.....I CAN FIX IT 7/30 1215am found a GREAT science link::: ""https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/8125/cannabis-genomics-breeding-and-production/magazine"". 345am PROLINE WILL BE HERE TODAY.ALL RESEARCH INDICATES PROLINE WILL PROTECT FROM HEAT STRESS!!!! 11:30 AM they are good again they are recovering from heavy defoliation half of the plant was taken off of one of them. I pushed it a little far but today they are recovering from heat and lack of air and lack of space the leaves are reaching up and they are not folding under heat stress. They look good today. Fast recovery heavy amino yesterday.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ GOT THE AMINOS AND HERE IS THE GROK RESULT OF MY MIX.......๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ The effects of applying essential amino acids (EAAs), proline, trimethylglycine (TMG), and glutamine to cannabis plants can be significant, as these compounds act as biostimulants, influencing growth, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production. The available research, primarily from studies on amino acids in plants, including cannabis, provides insights into their roles, though specific data on this exact combination is limited. Below, I summarize the effects of each compound on cannabis plants, drawing from relevant studies, and infer potential synergistic effects based on their known roles in plant physiology. Note that TMG (betaine) has less direct research in cannabis, so some effects are extrapolated from other plants. ### 1. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) EAAs (e.g., leucine, lysine, methionine, etc.) are critical building blocks for proteins and play roles in plant metabolism and stress response. In cannabis: - **Growth and Development**: EAAs enhance protein synthesis, supporting shoot and root growth. Foliar or soil application of EAAs (e.g., 150โ€“300 mg/L) increases leaf chlorophyll, shoot biomass, and root development in various plants, likely applicable to cannabis.[](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-21273-6) - **Nutrient Uptake**: EAAs like methionine and lysine improve nutrient absorption (e.g., nitrogen, iron) by acting as chelators, potentially enhancing cannabis nutrient efficiency in hydroponic or soil systems.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/)[](https://mycsainc.com/newsletter/en/2023/03/03/amino-acids-and-their-function-in-plants/) - **Stress Mitigation**: EAAs, particularly methionine, support antioxidant production (e.g., glutathione), reducing oxidative stress from drought, salinity, or high light, common in cannabis cultivation.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.00928/full)[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Cannabinoid/Terpene Production**: Limited evidence suggests EAAs may influence secondary metabolism. For example, methionine could enhance sulfur-containing compounds, potentially affecting terpene profiles in cannabis.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) **Application Notes**: EAAs are often applied via foliar spray (150โ€“300 mg/L) or soil drench. Overuse may lead to nitrogen imbalance, so moderation is key.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) ### 2. Proline Proline is a non-essential amino acid that accumulates in plants under stress and serves multiple functions: - **Stress Tolerance**: Proline acts as an osmolyte, stabilizing cell membranes and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) during drought, salinity, or temperature stress. In cannabis, exogenous proline (e.g., 50โ€“100 mM) may enhance tolerance to environmental stressors, improving resilience in outdoor or controlled environments.[](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349966775_THE_ROLE_AND_IMPORTANCE_OF_AMINO_ACIDS_WITHIN_PLANTS_A_REVIEW)[](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3548871/) - **Limited Growth Effect**: Proline alone is a poor nitrogen source for growth. Studies on Arabidopsis show it has a neutral or inhibitory effect on growth when used as the sole nitrogen source, suggesting itโ€™s better for stress response than biomass accumulation.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Cannabis-Specific**: Proline helps cannabis maintain water balance, potentially improving resistance to extreme temperatures, which is critical for outdoor grows.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) **Application Notes**: Foliar or root application (50โ€“100 mg/L) is effective for stress mitigation. High doses may inhibit growth if not balanced with other nutrients.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full)[](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349966775_THE_ROLE_AND_IMPORTANCE_OF_AMINO_ACIDS_WITHIN_PLANTS_A_REVIEW) ### 3. Trimethylglycine (TMG, Betaine) TMG is less studied in cannabis but known as an osmoprotectant and methyl donor in other plants: - **Stress Protection**: TMG stabilizes proteins and membranes under salinity, drought, or temperature stress, similar to proline. It may protect cannabis plants in harsh conditions, maintaining photosynthetic efficiency.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/9/7/807) - **Methylation Support**: TMG donates methyl groups, potentially enhancing secondary metabolite synthesis (e.g., cannabinoids, terpenes), though direct evidence in cannabis is lacking. Its role in methylation could support metabolic pathways linked to EAAs and glutamine. - **Growth Effects**: Limited data suggest TMG may improve chlorophyll content and photosynthesis, indirectly supporting biomass in cannabis. **Application Notes**: TMG is typically applied at 0.5โ€“2 g/L via foliar spray. Its effects in cannabis are inferred from other crops, so careful experimentation is needed. ### 4. Glutamine Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid central to nitrogen metabolism: - **Growth Promotion**: Glutamine (10โ€“1000 mg/L) significantly enhances shoot elongation, root growth, and chlorophyll content in plants like lettuce and hibiscus, likely benefiting cannabis vegetative growth. In cannabis, it may support lush foliage and robust rooting in hydroponics.[](https://www.scielo.br/j/oh/a/GZxMgqXb9wm7bsCTv4WwPdc/?lang=en)[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html)[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html?lang=en) - **Nitrogen Assimilation**: As a primary nitrogen acceptor, glutamine improves nitrogen use efficiency via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase cycle, enhancing nutrient uptake in cannabis.[](https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/58/9/2339/544408)[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) - **Stress Response**: Glutamine supports proline synthesis, boosting stress tolerance. It also contributes to chlorophyll and protein synthesis, improving photosynthesis and yield potential in cannabis.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/8/12/1110)[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) - **Secondary Metabolism**: Glutamine is a precursor to glutamate, which influences GABA, arginine, and proline synthesis, potentially affecting cannabinoid or terpene production indirectly.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) **Application Notes**: Foliar sprays (250โ€“1000 mg/L) or root application twice weekly are effective. Glutamine at 250 mg/L combined with other amino acids (e.g., glycine) shows synergistic growth effects.[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html) ### Synergistic Effects on Cannabis - **Growth and Yield**: The combination of EAAs, glutamine, and proline may enhance vegetative growth and biomass. Glutamine and EAAs drive protein synthesis and nitrogen uptake, while proline supports tissue integrity under stress. TMG likely amplifies these effects by improving cellular hydration and methylation, potentially increasing leaf area and bud quality.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/8/12/1110)[](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-21273-6) - **Stress Resilience**: Proline and TMG act as osmoprotectants, while EAAs and glutamine bolster antioxidant systems, collectively improving cannabis resilience to drought, salinity, or temperature extremes common in cultivation.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/9/7/807) - **Secondary Metabolites**: Glutamine and TMG may enhance cannabinoid and terpene production by supporting metabolic pathways (e.g., methylation, nitrogen metabolism). EAAs like methionine could influence sulfur-based terpenes. However, direct evidence for cannabinoid enhancement is sparse.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glutamine and EAAs improve nitrogen and micronutrient uptake, while TMG may enhance nutrient transport, optimizing cannabis growth in nutrient-limited systems like hydroponics.[](https://mycsainc.com/newsletter/en/2023/03/03/amino-acids-and-their-function-in-plants/) ### Potential Risks and Considerations - **Inhibition at High Doses**: High concentrations of proline or certain EAAs (e.g., lysine, valine) can inhibit growth if used as sole nitrogen sources. Balanced mixtures mitigate this, as glutamine can antagonize inhibitory effects of proline or other amino acids.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Nitrogen Overload**: Excessive EAAs or glutamine may lead to nitrogen toxicity, causing leaf burn or stunted growth in cannabis. Monitor plant response and maintain balanced nutrient solutions.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) - **TMG Metabolism**: TMG may increase trimethylamine production in the soil microbiome, potentially affecting cannabis root health if not managed. Healthy soil microflora can mitigate this.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) - **Application Timing**: Foliar sprays (150โ€“500 mg/L for EAAs, glutamine, proline; 0.5โ€“2 g/L for TMG) during vegetative growth or early flowering maximize benefits. Avoid overuse during late flowering to prevent nutrient imbalances affecting bud quality. ### Cannabis-Specific Insights - **Hydroponics and Soil**: In hydroponic systems, EAAs and glutamine ensure efficient nitrogen delivery, while proline and TMG support stress resistance in fluctuating pH or nutrient conditions. In soil, maintaining microflora is crucial, as it naturally supplies amino acids; supplementation should be moderate.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/)[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Cultivar Variability**: Cannabis cultivars differ in nutrient demands and stress responses. Sativa-dominant strains may benefit more from proline and TMG for stress tolerance, while indica strains may respond better to EAAs and glutamine for dense bud growth. Testing is needed. - **Secondary Metabolites**: While amino acids influence secondary metabolism, direct effects on THC or CBD levels are unconfirmed. Glutamine and TMG may indirectly enhance terpene diversity via improved photosynthesis and methylation.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) ### Practical Recommendations "๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ"๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ"๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ - **Dosing**: Apply EAAs (150โ€“300 mg/L), glutamine (250โ€“500 mg/L), proline (50โ€“100 mg/L), and TMG (0.5โ€“1 g/L) via foliar spray or root drench twice weekly during vegetative growth and early flowering. - **Combination**: Use a balanced mix (e.g., 250 mg/L EAAs + 250 mg/L glutamine + 50 mg/L proline + 500 mg/L TMG) to avoid inhibition. Test on a small batch first.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Monitoring**: Check for signs of nitrogen toxicity (dark green leaves, clawing) or stress relief (improved vigor, greener leaves). Adjust doses based on plant response. "๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ"๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ"๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ. - **Synergy with Nutrients**: Pair with balanced NPK fertilizers and micronutrients (e.g., iron, calcium) to enhance uptake.[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html) - **Cultivation Context**: In hydroponics, use lower doses to avoid nutrient lockout. In soil, ensure healthy microbial activity to complement amino acid supplementation.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) ### Evidence Gaps - **Specific Combination**: No studies directly address EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine together in cannabis. Effects are inferred from individual amino acid studies and general plant research. - **Cannabinoid Impact**: Limited data on how these compounds affect THC/CBD levels. More research is needed on secondary metabolite pathways.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **TMG in Cannabis**: TMGโ€™s effects are extrapolated from other crops. Cannabis-specific trials are needed to confirm benefits. ### Conclusion Applying EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine to cannabis plants can enhance growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient uptake, with potential benefits for yield and secondary metabolite production. EAAs and glutamine drive biomass and nitrogen efficiency, proline and TMG bolster stress resilience, and their combination may optimize cannabis health in challenging environments. However, careful dosing and monitoring are crucial to avoid inhibition or toxicity. For best results, test small-scale applications and consult with a horticulturist familiar with cannabis cultivation. If you want more details on application methods, specific cultivars, or further searches for cannabis-related studies, let me know!""๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ 7/31 125am!!!!! Adding L-glycine to the combination of essential amino acids (EAAs), proline, trimethylglycine (TMG), and glutamine can further influence the effects on cannabis plants, as glycine is a non-essential amino acid with unique roles in plant physiology. Below, I outline the potential effects of L-glycine alone and in combination with the previously mentioned compounds, focusing on their impact on cannabis growth, stress response, and secondary metabolite production. Since specific studies on this exact combination in cannabis are lacking, Iโ€™ll integrate findings from plant science and infer synergistic effects based on known mechanisms. Iโ€™ll keep it concise and tailored to cannabis cultivation. ### Effects of L-Glycine on Cannabis Plants L-Glycine is a simple amino acid involved in protein synthesis, stress response, and metabolic pathways: - **Growth Promotion**: Glycine (50โ€“500 mg/L) enhances shoot elongation, root growth, and chlorophyll content in plants like lettuce and rice, likely benefiting cannabis vegetative growth. It serves as a nitrogen source and supports protein synthesis, complementing EAAs and glutamine. - **Stress Tolerance**: Glycine acts as a precursor to glutathione, a key antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress from drought, salinity, or high light. In cannabis, it may improve resilience in challenging environments (e.g., outdoor grows or high-intensity indoor setups). - **Secondary Metabolism**: Glycine is a precursor to purines and chlorophyll, potentially enhancing photosynthesis and energy metabolism. It may indirectly influence cannabinoid and terpene production by supporting metabolic pathways, though direct evidence in cannabis is limited. - **Nutrient Uptake**: Glycine chelates micronutrients (e.g., iron, zinc), improving their availability, which is critical for cannabis in hydroponic or nutrient-poor soil systems. **Application Notes**: Foliar sprays or root drenches (100โ€“500 mg/L) are effective, often applied twice weekly during vegetative growth or early flowering. ### Synergistic Effects with EAAs, Proline, TMG, and Glutamine Adding L-glycine to the mix may enhance the effects on cannabis plants in the following ways: 1. **Enhanced Growth and Biomass**: - **Glycine + EAAs/Glutamine**: Glycine complements EAAs and glutamine in protein synthesis and nitrogen metabolism. Studies show glycine (250 mg/L) combined with glutamine enhances shoot and root growth in plants, likely amplifying cannabis vegetative vigor and bud development. - **Synergy**: Glycineโ€™s role in chlorophyll synthesis boosts photosynthesis, supporting the energy demands of EAA-driven protein synthesis and glutamineโ€™s nitrogen assimilation, potentially increasing leaf area and yield. 2. **Improved Stress Resilience**: - **Glycine + Proline/TMG**: Glycine and proline both contribute to glutathione production, enhancing antioxidant defenses. TMGโ€™s osmoprotectant properties further stabilize cells under stress. Together, they may improve cannabis tolerance to drought, heat, or salinity, maintaining growth in adverse conditions. - **Cannabis-Specific**: This combination could be particularly beneficial for outdoor cannabis or indoor setups with inconsistent temperature/humidity, reducing leaf wilting or nutrient stress. 3. **Secondary Metabolite Production**: - **Glycine + Glutamine/TMG**: Glycine and glutamine are precursors to metabolic pathways (e.g., GABA, purines) that may influence cannabinoid and terpene synthesis. TMGโ€™s methyl donation could enhance these pathways by supporting enzyme activity. While direct evidence is sparse, this stack may increase terpene diversity or cannabinoid yield in cannabis buds. - **EAAs Contribution**: Methionine (an EAA) and glycine may support sulfur-containing compounds, potentially enriching terpene profiles. 4. **Nutrient Efficiency**: - **Glycine + EAAs/Glutamine**: Glycineโ€™s chelating properties enhance micronutrient uptake, complementing EAAs and glutamineโ€™s role in nitrogen assimilation. This could optimize nutrient use in hydroponic cannabis systems, reducing nutrient lockout. - **TMG Synergy**: TMGโ€™s role in cellular hydration may improve nutrient transport, amplifying glycineโ€™s effects on micronutrient availability. ### Potential Risks and Considerations - **Inhibition at High Doses**: High glycine doses (1000 mg/L) may inhibit growth by disrupting nitrogen balance, especially if combined with EAAs or glutamine. Studies on Arabidopsis show glycine can be toxic as a sole nitrogen source, so balanced mixtures are crucial. - **Nitrogen Overload**: Adding glycine to EAAs and glutamine increases nitrogen input, risking toxicity (e.g., leaf burn, stunted growth) in cannabis. Monitor for dark green leaves or clawing and adjust doses. - **Competition for Absorption**: Glycine, EAAs, and glutamine may compete for root or foliar uptake, reducing efficacy. Split applications (e.g., glycine in the morning, EAAs/glutamine post-light cycle) can help. - **TMG Interaction**: Glycine and TMG both influence methylation pathways, but excessive methyl donors could disrupt metabolic balance in sensitive plants. Stick to moderate doses (e.g., 100โ€“500 mg/L glycine, 0.5โ€“1 g/L TMG). - **Cultivar Variability**: Cannabis strains (e.g., sativa vs. indica) differ in nutrient and stress responses. Glycineโ€™s benefits may be more pronounced in stress-prone sativas or nutrient-sensitive hybrids. ### Practical Recommendations - **Dosing**: Combine glycine (100โ€“500 mg/L), EAAs (150โ€“300 mg/L), glutamine (250โ€“500 mg/L), proline (50โ€“100 mg/L), and TMG (0.5โ€“1 g/L) in a balanced foliar spray or root drench. Apply twice weekly during vegetative growth and early flowering. - **Application**: Use foliar sprays for rapid uptake during vegetative stages or stress events. Root drenches suit hydroponic systems. Test on a small batch to assess plant response. - **Monitoring**: Watch for nitrogen toxicity (dark, curled leaves) or stress relief (greener, more vigorous plants). Adjust concentrations based on cultivar and growth stage. - **Synergy with Nutrients**: Pair with balanced NPK fertilizers and micronutrients (e.g., iron, calcium) to maximize glycineโ€™s chelating benefits. Ensure adequate magnesium for chlorophyll synthesis. - **Cultivation Context**: In hydroponics, use lower doses to avoid nutrient imbalances. In soil, maintain healthy microbial activity, as microbes naturally produce glycine and other amino acids. ### Evidence Gaps - **Specific Combination**: No studies address glycine combined with EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine in cannabis. Effects are inferred from individual amino acid studies and general plant research. - **Cannabinoid/Terpene Impact**: While glycine may support secondary metabolism, direct effects on THC/CBD or terpene levels are unconfirmed. Cannabis-specific trials are needed. - **TMG and Glycine**: Their combined effects on methylation in cannabis are speculative, as most TMG research focuses on other crops. ### Conclusion Adding L-glycine to EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine likely enhances cannabis growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency by supporting protein synthesis, antioxidant production, and micronutrient uptake. The combination may improve vegetative vigor, bud quality, and resilience to environmental stressors, with potential (but unconfirmed) benefits for cannabinoid and terpene production. Careful dosing and monitoring are essential to avoid nitrogen toxicity or absorption competition. Start with low doses, test on a small scale, and consult a cannabis cultivation expert for tailored advice. If you want me to search for more studies, focus on a specific aspect (e.g., glycineโ€™s role in terpene synthesis), or provide application protocols for a particular cannabis strain, let me know!"""

One was more bushy and was a little behind. As I said, they had some heat stress and I think the 15-liter pots are too small when the environment is hotter. Still, they are totally worth growing and joy to smoke. They don't need much curing and the weed is very very strong. Going to try this strain again very soon!!

12 on 12 off, missing my girls... I spent about 35 mins tops with them during the week, and then I love giving them the attention they deserve on the weekends, what else is there to do when the worlds gone mad? 2nd grow on the "smart plug cycle" and the cost is so low..I am extremely happy with the SPIDER FARMER SF2000, but there's times I just want to plug in the 1000w to penetrate deep into the plants but the reasons for the LEDs is to grow some heady herbs for less. LEDs can get expensive but its just start up costs, after that you don't have to change bulbs and you don't notice the pull on the electric bill. WIN WIN the ladies have been busy this week and producing which means i'll need to go in tomorrow and do a clean up. happy growing! ...GOOD VIBES here!!! HAPPY GROWING!!!!! 1/26/21 had to switch up watering today due to demands from the plants. This is where it gets tricky, 2 weeks left of feeding before flush and all I am trying to do is keep as many leaves possible to feed all those buds. I am usually just a big bud person but I recently purchased a hash machine and I know a couple old heads that still love bubble soooo... THE SEED PHARM.... I will be going back very soon for more of this nice plant and something different. THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH ROOM!!!

~Dutch Passion Auto Melonade Runtz~ [Auto Pink Runtz x Melonade (Lemon Z x Lemon Tree)] Hello again fam! I always LOVE๐Ÿ˜running genetics from my friends at Dutch Passion Seed Company. This is a unique autoflower version of the photoperiod Melonade Runtz and is kinda special as this strain, along with her other abundant terpenes, has a relatively unknown terpene by the name of farnesene which peaked my curiosity as a lover of terpenes... aren't we all?๐Ÿคช For a more in depth and thorough description of Auto Melonade Runtz I defer to the proverbial 'horses mouth', Dutch Passion. "Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful Runtz autoflower crossing that is incredibly potent and pungent due to the addition of Melonade genetics. The dried buds have nice bag appeal and a commercial look. She is suitable for every type of grower (including beginners). This cannabis strain does well in soil and coco-fiber, but can also be grown hydroponically for the highest yields. She has an XL yield and has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of 11 weeks. Auto Melonade Runtz is a strong and robust hybrid autoflower plant with good branching, sturdy buds with a unique terpene profile. She usually has a fruity and creamy aroma and taste. The THC content is high and the effects are very potent. Auto Melonade Runtz is a potent autoflower with both a high THC percentage and a powerful terpene profile. In terms of aroma, she leans most towards a mix of sweet, creamy and fruity notes. The most dominant are the doughy/creamy tones of the Runtz genetics. The fruity notes vary from tropical, berry-like to slightly sour. This makes her an ideal strain for cannabis connoisseurs looking for a unique sensory experience. Some phenotypes sometimes seem to resemble Gorilla Glue in terms of smell. Others seem to be a bit more towards a fruity 'Kush'. All in all a very complex and interesting fragrance profile! In terms of taste, this Melonade Runtz autoflower version is also very pleasant. The fruity notes are at their best here, the 'inhale' can be nice and fruity with notes of berries, tropical fruit and melon. The creamy and doughy notes are a little more in the background and come more to the fore on the 'exhale'. The most common terpenes in this autoflower cross are in no particular order; limonene, linalool, myrcene, caryophyllene and humulene. And the relatively new and unknown terpene called farnesene (or 'B-farnesene' ) is also strongly present. Auto Melonade Runtz was created by crossing an Auto Pink Runtz mother and a Melonade father (made by reversing an elite mother plant). Our Melonade genetics are a cross of the legendary and cup-winning Lemon Zkittle and a clone-only Lemon Tree. The offspring was in turn crossed with a female Auto Pink Runtz through the well-known feminisation process. This new autoflower is the Gold-standard of contemporary autoflower genetics. Not too big, not too small, but just right and she doesn't mess around when it comes to yield. By combining the well-known Runtz and Melonade genetics, a beautiful new hybrid has been created that will appeal to every grower. Auto Melonade Runtz is a hybrid THC-rich cannabis strain with a strong cannabinoid profile, an average flowering time & a high yield Auto Melonade Runtz has been received with great praise within the Dutch Passion test team. The buds of this strain really have a unique terpene profile combined with a very high potency. The flowers also look super white and frosty. In addition, the dried buds are dense and compact. All in all, great bag appeal making her very suitable for real 'cannasseurs'. During the vegetative phase, every cannabis grower will note that this is an enjoyable strain to grow. She grows easily and has many side branches that gradually grow longer. Most plants exhibit the classic Dutch Passion auto structure. A beautiful thick main bloom surrounded by many well-developed side blooms. A true growth explosion takes place during weeks 4 and 5. The branches start their stretching period. This ensures that the plant will increase considerably in size during the next 3 weeks. The internodes are fairly close together and this ensures relatively well-connected buds. From week 7 onward, trichome production really starts and the buds start to look whiter. By week 9 everything is packed with crystals and you see the true nature of this beautiful autoflower strain. The buds are compact and glisten beautifully with THC-rich trichomes. In general, this strain has a seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. In exceptional cases they bloom 1-2 weeks longer, especially when they are not grown in optimal conditions. Outdoors, the flowering time can also take a little longer and she needs an average of around 13 (to a maximum of 15) weeks to fully ripen. Her rounded and compact buds make her easy to cut and manicure. The buds are very sticky, so the use of gloves is recommended. However, while cutting you can use the sticky resin on your scissors to make delicious finger hash. Auto Melonade Runtz is an average sized plant but despite this she has a high yield. The strain grows sturdy side branches, and the buds are still relatively compact even at the bottom. The internode distance is average. This creates buds that are close together on the stem but do not completely merge. The genetics used for Auto Melonade Runtz guarantee the following properties: A fast, stable and potent THC-rich autoflower cannabis strain with a hybrid plant and bloom structure which are also easy to harvest Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful cannabis strain with a very high THC level which can reach up to 25%, the terpene profile is also high and this makes her ideal for cannabis connoisseurs (cannasseurs) This strain is easy to grow and, due to the classic Dutch Passion auto structure, ensures high yields when grown naturally, but also in a SOG culture (packed together in small diameter containers which restrict side growth, focusing bud growth on the main bloom) Auto Melonade Runtz is best suited for indoor cultivation, but can also be grown outdoors. Her plant structure is medium to large and she produces buds with a unique cannabinoid and terpene profile. Auto Melonade Runtz has an average autoflower seed to harvest time of around 11 weeks. This is typically the time it takes to fully complete the grow indoors in a controlled environment. This autoflower is also best grown on a 20/4 schedule. This gives the plants a short rest period so that they can recover and prepare for the next day. In an unstable indoor climate it can sometimes take 1 to 2 weeks longer to fully ripen. This also applies to outdoor cultivation. Usually the greatest day/night temperature differences are outdoors and this can slightly delay the total autoflower seed to harvest time. In a temperate outdoor climate it is best to plan for 12 to a maximum of 15 weeks. In a dry and sunny (e.g. Mediterranean) climate, most plants will be ready for harvest within 11-12 weeks.This gives the very white buds an even more beautiful and unique appearance! Auto Melonade Runtz is a powerful autoflower with strong genes from several award-winning USA genetic lines. Crossing these hybrid cannabis genetics has created a stable and robust autoflower that can take a beating and still deliver. This makes her suitable for beginners and growers who are still improving their skills. She grows very easily and quickly naturally, without any grow techniques. If you like to grow in soil/coco, preferably give her a pot of at least 15-20L for a stress-free experience. If you want to use a slightly larger container, we recommend a pot of around 30-35L. This ultimately ensures that she can grow larger and has a better buffer against dehydration and possible nutritional deficiencies. The same applies to outdoor cultivation. Choose a larger pot for a better buffer zone, making it easier for her to thrive in a variety of conditions. It is best to give black pots a white cover on the outside, so that the light of the sun is reflected and the root temperature of the plants does not rise further and cause damage (black containers absorb a lot of heat in direct sunlight). She can also be grown in the open ground in more sunny and dry areas, but for the highest yield we recommend growing her in containers, preferably smart pots or root pouches for outdoors and airpots for indoor cultivation. This is the perfect autoflower strain for those who love a potent cannabis strain with strong smelling and tasty terpenes. The Dutch Passion test team was immediately sold after smoking and vaping this strain during the blind trials. The Farnesene terpene present gives the aroma profile something unique that we have not experienced before." I know that was A LOT to read, but this strain deserves it and I cannot wait to see what this lady can do...Let's Goooo!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was germinated in a moist paper towel, then planted directly into the medium. ~ Grown in a 15L Gronest fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with BioTabs Organic Amendments and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 19/5 light cycle with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower.

B8D7 end of week pictures + harvest (will follow after drying/curing otherwise I won't do it ๐Ÿ˜œ) Was a little bit afraid of mold, no risk even if trichomes could use a few days more. Yield was okay (good for the strain), everything else outstanding ๐Ÿ˜š Some pictures with flash light, some without. As outlook for the harvest a picture of the trim, ~30g ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Thought about not trimming, as this is all smokeable and high quality .... regarding what I get from outdoor autos ๐Ÿ˜‚ You can see in the video there are no popcorn buds. Overall, hooked on indoor photos once again. ๐Ÿ˜…
