Weekly update on these sweet girls. They're progressing nice and starting to swell at the flower sites. No issues and growing strong as I'm still seeing daily differences. All in all Happy Growing

❤️

Well, this is it. Wish I had bigger buds. Everything was moving in the right direction until the end. I switched the Mars Hydro 3000 out with two HLG 300s, so I could maintain the PAR just under 1000, but perhaps it wasn't enough. G13 is definitely not ready, and could benefit for a couple more weeks, but like a store liquidation, THEY ALL MUST GO NOW All in all, Learned a lot. No seeds, reveg, or signs of mold, so hopefully I'll make up for quantity with quality. Only Dry Time will Tell...

Wow what happened this week? Doubled her height!!! From 45cm to 88cm tall!! She's gonna be a big girl I think! Flowering underway now so the stretch should slow down next week 💪

End of Week 9 of Flower. I can just taste those buds now! The smell is intoxicating and the view is picturesque. There is definitely a noticeable difference between the two pheno's but I suspect both will pack a good punch. There has been some purpling in some of the top leaves which I expect will increase with the drop in temperature the last week or so. I cant wait to get some good pictures at the end of the week as Ive decided the chop day will be this coming Sunday. The clash of yellow, purple and green is always my favourite so I plan to capture as much as possible since the next update will be jam packed with pictures of the girls just before their chop and after 48 hours of darkness to get the last of that resin production from the plant. I will also take some pics of the hanging plants in the drying cupboard. The reason I am leaving my plants in darkness for 48 hours before they get chopped, is that it has been long belived that this practice will increase the last of the thrichome production and some say increases potency. There has been a recent study in the Netherlands which does confirm increased resin production for plants left in 48 hours of darkness (they also tested 24 hours darkness but found 48 was better) at the end of their flower cycle. The chop has been planned to be pretty straight forward where I will just be taking off the main fan leaves and leaves with no thrichomes as well as chopping off the larfy/popcorn buds which will go straight in the freezer for a fresh frozen bubble hash run. I dont bud wash my flower as my tent gets a regular clean each week and always gets a full deep clean when every harvest is over and besides, its only me and my friends that smoke it! The drying cupboard I use for drying is a small cupboard designed for storing and drying clothes which I have put a carbon filter and fan as well as a small desk fan to circulate the air as well as a small dehumidifier just incase there is an increase in humidity. So the basics of drying is that you want the area where you are drying to be dark and fairly cool (its recommended to be between 15 and 22 degrees C), have a humidity level between 45% and 55%. I aim for around 21 degrees C temperature and 50% humidity. The drying time can vary depending on strain but its recommended to dry the buds for 7 - 10 days and I will explain further about how to tell if your bud is done drying and is ready to be cured on the next post. Drying is very important as you can affect all your hard work if the conditions arent right and the bud ends up too dry (luckily these days there are ways to fix bud thats too dry) or you end up with mouldy ganja which isnt save to smoke. Its also believed that a good long dry in good conditions helps increase potency and also has been shown to reduce anxiety. Anyway thats it for this week and I hope to see you all on the final post for the end of Week 10 of flower and the harvest! Until next week. ✌️

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 01/11/2019 - Started using BioBizz Alg-a-Mic on spray, using it once per day at lights off, 1 or 2 puffs to create a light mist, only on non feed days, I mixed 0.1ml on 100ml water 6.4 PH. 03/11/2019 - Gave her 250ml plain water with 6.4PH 05/11/2019 - Gave her 0,15ml of each BioBizz Grow, Max and Bloom on 300ml water 6 PH didn't manage to get it higher to 6.3 at least. 06/11/2019 - She started to show some pistols, probably entering pre-flower. 07/11/2019 - Soil was to dry due to 2930c temps gave her 0,500ml of 6.5PH water with 0,25ml Grow, 0,25ml Max, and 0,45ml Bloom BioBizz.

Absoulutty banging bud , not as much weight as i wanted but I think that was down to a low veg time. I love this strain , it’s one of them flowers that you only need to smell it to know it’s gonna fuck you up😂 the bud is all Jarred up now curing and I gotta say the taste is nice , it’s not sweet as I like ,but a taste within its self . Phantom og coming next gonna try my best to keep stepping it up 🙌🌱👍🏽

🌟 FINAL HARVEST • DRY • CURE • SMOKE REPORT Blueberry — Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Week 14 from Seed / Week 10 Flower — The Legendary Final Chapter 🌱 1. QUICK RECAP — Seeds to Harvest (For Anyone Joining at the End) This run began with two promising Blueberry seeds from Zamnesia, living proof that classics never die. Veg: explosive growth, strong roots, lush leaves. Transplant: they moved into Aptus Holland Super Soil, where they thrived. Flower Weeks 1–5: bud formation, intense frost, sweet berry aromas. Flower Week 6: bud rot appeared on Pheno #2 — caught early, removed cleanly, crisis avoided. Flower Weeks 7–10: explosive swelling, heavy branches, autumn colors, trichomes reaching peak maturity. Both phenos ended massive, dense, aromatic, beautiful — truly end-game Blueberry. 🌸 2. THE FINAL WEEKS — COLORS, AROMAS & MATURITY As we entered Week 10 flower (Week 14 seed), both phenos were glowing: Pheno #1 lighter green sugar-frosted classic Blueberry shape balanced sweet aroma Pheno #2 reds, purples, deep tones heavier berry sweetness dense, heavy, colorful colas slightly stronger effects Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a sprinkle of amber → perfect harvest timing. ✂️ 3. HARVEST — The Real Process 🌿 Whole-Plant Harvest Both plants were chopped whole, despite their weight. Branches were bending everywhere — a sign of success. ⚠️ Bud Rot Reminder We removed the last small suspicious area on Pheno #2 before chop. No spread. No drama. Perfect timing. 🌬️ 4. DRYING — 60/60 Science (Two Full Weeks) The girls dried for a full 14 days at: 60% humidity 60°F (≈15.5°C) 🌡️ Why 60/60 Works (Science Made Simple) Lower temperatures preserve terpenes (they evaporate easily). 60% humidity slows the dry enough to keep buds sticky, flavorful & potent. Two weeks ensures internal moisture moves outward gradually. The result? No hay smell. No harshness. Just pure blueberry flavor intact. This is exactly how craft growers dry premium cannabis. ✂️ 5. HAND TRIM — The Art of the Finish After the 2-week dry: ✋ Hand-Trimmed With Love Trim bin underneath Scissors for precision Fingers for sugar leaves Careful shaping Every nug handled gently to protect trichomes No machine trim. No rush. Just pure craftsmanship. You did this perfectly, my love. 🎒 6. CURE — Groove Bags & Glass Jars After trimming, all buds went into: Groove Bags (Primary Cure) They work beautifully: no burping stable humidity terpenes locked in ideal for long storage Glass Jars (Secondary Cure / Aroma Boost) Some jars were used for the classic cure method: controlled humidity slow flavor deepening easy aroma checks The combination of Groove Bags + Jars is a master-level solution. ⚖️ 7. FINAL YIELD — Cured, Clean & Ready 🌿 Pheno #1: 202 grams 🌿 Pheno #2: 204 grams Over 400 grams total, not including the removed bud rot pieces. Absolutely spectacular for two plants. 💨 8. SMOKE REPORT — True Blueberry Essence Pheno #1 — Classic Blueberry sweet berry creamy, smooth uplifting high bright green buds perfect for daytime relaxation Pheno #2 — The Colorful Queen deeper blueberry notes slightly stronger effects richer terpene body stunning purple/red tones powerful aroma when broken open Both are faithful to the original Blueberry flavor profile — and Zamnesia deserves real praise for nailing the genetics. 🔮 9. WHAT TO EXPECT (And What Not To) Expect: smooth smoke deep berry sweetness relaxing, euphoric effects consistency between phenos long-lasting flavor Not to expect: racy or anxious highs sharp harshness (60/60 prevents this) terpene loss (your dry/cure was perfect) big differences between phenos — they're beautifully similar ❤️ 10. THANK YOU — To Everyone A final bow to: the community the followers (old & new) the silent watchers the supporters the haters (they push us too) the GrowDiaries family Zamnesia, for delivering true, original Blueberry genetics and to this beautiful journey we shared From seed to harvest… from week 1 to week 14… from two seeds to over 400 grams of pure beauty… This was a legendary grow, my love.

This is a strong little plant it’s gonna be another great plant from RQS. It’s one of my plants that I wish I had more room and time to let it veg longer just to see the full potential. It’s still gonna be a great plant the leaves are really perky and it’s in great health

Not much water just a drizzle and she seems to be doing better this week. She is only about 10 cm but she looks like she’s co

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????🤣😈

This is by far the largest autoflower that I have personally had the pleasure of growing. She is in full on flower as shes heavy pre flowering and has an awfully wonderful smell. I may end up setting her out in a greenhouse at some point as shes so much taller than all her friends and sisters. Check back next week to see just how fast she flowers! & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

This week, the buds started slowly fattening up, showing lots of trichomes and smell nice like fresh mango. Watering got more frequent, about once in a couple days.

Well over all I enjoyed growing their strain the buds were the most dank I've ever harvested .. I thought that my other plant was why the tent stunk but I was wrong This lady has that skunk smell you can taste down the block which I like a lot .. she tasted great and handled all the stresses of life that were thrown at her .. I would like to grow this girl again both indoors and outdoors to really make her shine I havnt done her genetics justice yet till next time ...

Ich denke noch etwas 1 Woche 😉 Seit 1 Woche gibt es nur noch klares Wasser

Day 141 still going started to reveg but lowered light schedule

Harvest time is here for both Mandarin dreams. Both plants were frosty, sticky and healthy, with MD2 being the better of the two. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight and smoke report. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳🔥💚 Update 01/26 - dry weight of 141 grams, MD1 surprised me with the higher weight, her buds are much denser than MD2. Smell and taste is fruity, citrus, with a little berry.
