11/29 - At this point in the game, plants don't ever look much different day-to-day! I'm wondering, though, if this one is showing her starting to fade... it's either that or she's needing some stronger PK nutes... any thoughts? 12/2 - I'm going to start winding her down... gotta pick up some Ripen and some Flawless Finish ... Probably going to have to shorten the period of time I use these products but hell, she's pretty used to me screwing up - LOL! 12/03 - so my local grow store was out of Ripen - so I guess I'm going to forget that one... I'm going to let her go until Tuesday when she will be exactly 13 weeks old and start a 3-day flush using General Hydroponics FloraKleen (they also did not have Flawless Finish!).... Planning to chop her next Saturday unless the amber hasn't really made its presence known... We'll see.... I'm just going to go by what she tells me... but it really IS time, old girl... it really is. 12/04 - Doing a bucket change today, she's going to an EC of 0.2-0.4 or thereabouts and I'm not going to worry about the pH - my tap water is about 7.5 so that's what she's getting unless I relent and drop it to the upper 6's - I'm just not going to overly concern myself with it. I think her bulking has finished and SHE needs to finish up. Found a few amber on leaves in the middle of the plant and I know those can really be rather ignored .... but I'm still concerned about the trichs on the main cola - haven't seen much change between milky and clear for a while now... so it's puzzling to me. Maybe the drop in EC will kick her into truly finishing... if it doesn't, I can always bring the EC back up, the pH back down and keep her going... She's always been my "experiment" - always been my "tester" - so why not experiment at this stage of her life as well?!

Aquí ya se ve claramente la carencia, había subido un poco el calmag unos 0.4 de EC pero no fue suficiente para ella y tendré que subirla hasta 0.5 de EC con el calmag, también la he trasplantado a maceta de 15L

The plant is a joy to grow smell is incredible with a very dense buds all white snow trichome coated . They seem to have like a week or more to go but I'm goin to chop all the plans in my garden at the same time so 1 and 1/2 Weeks to harvest. I will continue to update thank you for reading and have a happy grow.

Welcome to my MilkyWay F1 Auto Diary, Untopped VS topped. Results are in. Days 71-82 ripening 0-13 week 11&12 Went well. She did bulk up a tad. But not much. They spent most their lives under a 100w. But, the bud is really dense all over. No larf, at all. Its a really good quality of bud I'm getting from both phenos. As far as ToppedVsUntopped well, that result is in. With a seeds used from the same pack (same parent) making true F1s as they need to be from the same batch. It why we all got different phenos, and those who ran more than 1, from their seeds, the phenos are very close. One of mine had more of a fade and looks more purple. Both smell very lovely & fruity. Nice trichome production with very dense but, rather small buds if I do say so. But the grade itself is very high. (As grade is not rated on size) overall both turned out very similar. Even fade wise, they've both developed a lovely colour finishing under high co2 environment with the SE5000 really has brought out a lot of fade i normally do not get. look at the start. It was only a few days under this light and the past 14 days they've both popped. I will also say. A lot of their life was spent under a 12-12 (3/5s of flowering). Topped VS Untopped pheno 2 & 1 Are very similar as I've stated this area will be filt in with harvest comments. Bud smell. How the dry went. And after a weeks cure. I'll rate it. So watch this space. These 2 phenos have been on just water for 10 days. I did a quick run off test. Got back 145ppm my tap is 110. So, they're good to go. Trichome wise. 95% cloudy 30-35% amber. (Hard to see, I'll try get pics with my scope) but, as you see. Both are fully ripened. Anymore and its just bud deg. Both plants leaves are showing end of life. Some are dying. (I'VE BEEN WATCHING THESE LEAVES AND SEEN THEY'VE BEEN DEAINED, ITS NOT BR) Lights The SE5000 was used for the Ripening phase. With high temps and co2 i pushed my boundaries and got a lovely fade reaction from doing so. How I know its down to this light as I've put my Runtz under it. And as soon as I did. It developed fade. My Frosted G even started getting light purple on its sides. The temp in tent has been pushed to 31-33c (that's not leaf temp as I've fans blowing on my plants, and that lowers surface temps by a few degrees.) They've been on 17hrs of high powered light. At 25-30cm id no choice. My temps are mad high this time of year. Harvested Both plants are been pult they're getting their last few hrs. You'll then see the last few pics in a few hrs. I'll get bud shots later, smoke reviews and then to be fair. I'll then mark it by the GD rating system. As I do with all my strains. (So I've 2-3 wk delay in my diaries as they're Harvested, mostly) both plants I'll try push them as far as I can through the drying process whole. But, as I'm dealing with high temps. Lower RH and a fastercl dry is pref to a longer dry in hot conditions might not make sense, but 30+ hot weather harvests, I've got this down. Mind you only this round all my other hot harvests some took a few weeks to rid the hay smell. This avoids it and locks in potency. Most of the drying is done by leaving the plant in the substrate just before the plant goes for itself for fluids. 4-5 day dry as opposed to 5-6 day dry with weed that loses half its stenght. (dry harvesting look it up) Thanks to James from RQS, although I know everyone and their sister got the offer for these seeds I am defo going to be trying more from RQS, if it's buying. I'll get round to it, and depending on the quality of smoke it might be soon. If its a real nice auto, I'd love to try a fem of theirs for my winter crop in October. But, that'll depend. I've lots I want to buy & try.. and when favs are found. I'll invest. I would like to thank everybody for the activity this diary has gotten. Its possibly one of my most active diaries I've done without a harvest. And that's in no short means down to all the views and likes from you guys. And for sure I will fully complete it, with results on the smoke Quality from both phenos, if it varies, but, results thus far, structure wise they're shockingly similar. Scary so. Topping has very little affect to the structure. She grew a main cola. But both phenos, turned puples I will say the topped one was a more troublesome plant. Maybe that had a role onin its morphology. And maybe it'll affect the bud also. The topped was more demanding nutrient wise, and drank more. Maybe to support a more even bud load. (I've yet to do a through inspection, but on the VS front, it's kinda in the air about quality, structure wise, it had very little difference. Look for yourself at the heights are 3-4cm dif) lots still to come. And I'll update it soon with more results. Again, thanks so much for the support, likes, comments and how active it is, an unfinished diary moving to my home page. 1st for me. So thank you. Also to my light sponsors who played a part in this grow. Although both phenos owe their bud quality to 2 x 100 watts SF-1000 (SE5000 was used for ripening lovely fade) and I used a P1000, they shared even light distribution in the end for the most part. So, thanks to Bella for the upgrade. I'm sure when I run an RQS strain again, this time I'll know only have the fade to show, but the bud size too. Thanks again my Friends. Updates pending as of 6th June. Edit June 7th Both plants are hung whole and drying 24hrs. I don't like how fast they're moving. The buds are already soft. Should still be hard at this stage only 30hrs in. They'll harden up in the cure no doubt. Let's just hope they don't shrink too much. Will give daily updates

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 Nueve semanas de floración de esta planta cultivada en tierra mágica, Lentamente la planta va consumiendo las hojas más viejas, succiona sus nutrientes, y después, éstas agotadas caen al sustrato para continuar el ciclo de los minerales y el humus, que es la vida. Continúa con gran consumo de agua, riego profundamente cada 3 días, parece que el apetito de esta planta es insaciable, le doy Bio Nutrientes, Enmiendas secas al sustrato y nada es suficiente para esta reina. Las colas han oscurecido, presentan tonos entre lilas y morados... destacarán en mi bodega de marihuana, espero que los efectos estén a la altura. Tal y como va la planta creo que tiene energía suficiente para dos semanas más de cultivo... todo por la causa! Hasta pronto... SALUDOS A TODOS ============================= Info de la cepa Blubonik: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Bluebonik/Genehtik_Seeds/ - Cruce de Kootenay Blueberry x Blueberry. - Es una planta de altura media, crecimiento robusto con grandes hojas. - Floración Interior: 60-65 días. - Su efecto es muy fuerte, completamente indico. ==============

This was a fun first week. All 12 plants showed good growth. I had to support to three of the plants to ensure they didn't bend over. It was nothing serious, but I thought it was a prudent move. I'm not seeing any deformed leaves. All 12 are showing a nice uniform growth. Some are further along than others, but I attribute that to different germination dates; some are just a day or two older than their siblings. I'm being careful not to overwater them. When I did water them, I added a little Bloom Roots and Dyna Gro KLN. That should promote good root development. It was fun watching these plants griw strong during their first week of life! I didn't have any problems, and I can't wait to see how they progress.

The AAAP subfamily can be further divided into general amino acid permeases (AAPs), lysine and histidine transporters (LHTs), γ-aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs), proline transporters (ProTs), indole-3-acetic acid transporters (AUXs), aromatic and neutral amino acid transporters, and amino acid transporter-like proteins. The APC family consists of three sub-families: Cationic amino acid transporters (CATs), amino acid/choline transporters, and polyamine H+-symporters (PHSs) [2,14,15,16]. Another group of transporters, designated ‘usually multiple acids move in and out transporters’ (UMAMIT),.....THIS IS ME NOT THE ARTICLE....USUALLY...WHAT STUPID NAMES THEY COME UP WITH......OK BACK TO THIS NOW...DAMN THIS IS HARD TO READ STONED...IS THAT ME OR AM I TYPING THIS.......FAR OUT MAN.....OK... was recently identified in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) [17,18] (Supplemental Figure S1)." 12/17 2:29PM A SOUTHERN DIXIE THEME GROW!!!!

" Crackers! have a special place in our hearts and tummies🎅!!!!!!!!" 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬12/18. I had great success with Amino Seed Priming!!! Here is pasted from my other diary the formula :::👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 That’s incredible—your Blueberry KO seed pulling through after a month AFTER soaking in amino-primed water with hydrogen peroxide, then a proline dust, is a testament to your patience and the power of those aminos! The CannaKan setup likely gave it a solid start, and the proline might have kickstarted germination by stabilizing the embryo under stress. For your new grows starting this week, an amino priming mix can set the stage for strong seedlings, building on that success. Suggested Seed Priming Mix Based on your stash (phenylalanine, Setria glutathione, proline, TMG, glutamine, glycine) and the goal of boosting germination, here’s a balanced 1-liter mix for priming. Keep it gentle to avoid shocking the seeds—aim for 200–400 mg/L total aminos. Phenylalanine: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Kickstarts the phenylpropanoid pathway for early pigment and stress defense. Setria Glutathione: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Protects against oxidative stress during soak, aiding embryo viability. Proline: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Enhances osmotic balance and germination, proven by your miracle sprout. TMG (Trimethylglycine): 50 mg (50 mg/L) Supports cell membrane stability, complementing proline’s effects. Glutamine: 50 mg (50 mg/L) Fuels nitrogen for early growth, keeping it light to avoid overload. Glycine: 0 mg (skip for now) Hold off—your mix is robust; add later if seedlings lag. Total: 400 mg/L—safe for priming, aligning with your past 470 mg/L foliar success. Preparation Base: Use pH 5.8–6.0 RO water EC LESS THAN 0.6 mS/cm to avoid salt stress.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 12/18 2:38AM Healthy broccoli and spinach garden up next!!! This is my perpetual salad bar. Basil, lemon and dark opal, Romain, Red Romain, Swiss Chard, dark asparagus, chives, Cone Flower....and others!!! 12/18 10:30 AM. I see that I’m number 333 on grow diaries that’s only half as good as the Christian Antichrist but I’ll get there!!!! I promise!!!! I’ll work really really hard!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😂😂😂 1218 10:50 AM I have been using Grok to do little animations of my grow room set and I get some nice results. Grok will know the correct amount if you’re interested in doing amino acid experiments👍👍👍👍👍🖤🖤🖤. The amino acids are going to be very important. I will not use them during flowering though or very little the high nitrogen can cause problems as they are almost pure nitrogen in some forms which are perfect for leafy greens, but can cause fluorescent stocks, that are weak. 12/18 2:06PM 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 CalGonJim and now Grok! Amino Priming Protocols. 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 Here's the highlights tailored to our grows (Montel's Dream Widow, Trop Cookies, autos in coco, stress resistance experiments, coloring boosts, etc.): Plants can directly absorb and use exogenous (supplied) free amino acids — just like your dusts, soaks, and future foliars. Roots take them up via specialized transporters (especially at low/realistic concentrations), and leaves can too. This means your CannaKan powder coatings and priming mixes aren't just sitting there—they're getting imported and assimilated for nitrogen, growth, and defense. Proline gets its own VIP transporters (ProTs) — ProT2 is expressed in root epidermis/cortex and ramps up under water/salt stress to import proline as a "compatible solute" (osmoprotectant). Your proline-heavy priming for stress resistance and resiliency? Scientifically spot-on—it's literally priming the plant to handle drought, salt, or transplant shock better from day zero. Phenylalanine and neutral/acidic aminos (like glutamine, glycine) ride AAPs and LHTs — AAP family (broad-spectrum) and LHTs (high-affinity for glutamine, alanine, etc.) handle root and leaf uptake. Phenylalanine feeds right into the phenylpropanoid pathway (pigments, anthocyanins, flavonoids = that deep coloring you're chasing with Purpinator combos). Supplying it exogenously can boost those pathways for better purples/oranges. Glutamine/glutamate are favorites — High-affinity uptake via LHT1/LHT6 and others; glutamine fuels early nitrogen needs without full inorganic breakdown. Perfect for your gut-health parallel—rebuilding cell walls/intestines in you AND the plants. Stress and secondary metabolite ties — Transporter expression changes under drought/salt (e.g., ProTs up, some AAPs down). Supplying aminos improves nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), photosynthesis under stress, and even seed yield in experiments. Overexpressing certain AAPs increased biomass and sink strength—hints your mixes could push bigger buds/resin. Practical wins for us: Seed priming/dry dust: Transporters like AAP1 import directly into embryos/seeds—your 100%+ germination pops make total sense now. Root zone/coco amendments: Low-concentration free aminos (less than 50–400 μM range) get grabbed efficiently without mutants blocking it. Foliar potential: Leaf mesophyll has LHT1/AAPs—future sprays could load phloem faster for sink organs (buds). Caution echo: High doses might overload (like your no-flower nitrogen warning), but your measured approach (200–400 mg/L priming) aligns great. Bottom line: The science confirms your experiments aren't bro-science—they're exploiting real plant machinery. Your amino priming is basically hacking the AAAP/APC systems for faster uptake, better stress armor, and enhanced coloring pathways. Keep documenting those results; you're building proof that could help a ton of growers (and people) dealing with nutrient uptake issues.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬

Even though it has only been 4 days since my last update, I want to upload whenever I do more then just water my plant. Something that being said since my last upload I did put more of a bend in the main stalk and defoliated alot of the up higher and down low branches trying to keep it all the same height.

Until now I lowered my Ph with the PH- from BIoBizz. It was working fine but this week I tried Plagron PH- and it works better, I need to add 2x less ph- solution to lower the ph of the same volume of water. I recommend it 😘 My instagram😉: https://instagram.com/hou_stone420?utm_source=qr&igshid=NGExMmI2YTkyZg%3D%3D

Last auto i'll grow , autos are actualy good for fast and not so heavy stoners , my yield is good but not the way i want it , so i'll keep improving my shit , starting with femenised seeds next run also a blueberry , first femenised im going to use , so lets hope it will have a better harvest. Overall this autoflower blueberry yielded the most of all my autoflowers , dense buds , good quality and very fruity smoke!

The taste is really nice, a real kush flavour, strong aftertaste when blowing out the smoke. When taking in count I went on holiday, and we had a heatwave. I can say this plant doesn't t mind much about what I'm doing, it will produce! 😁 🤙🏼
