08/11: La troisième semaine de floraison commence enfin on devrait les fleurs prendre forme. J'espère que le stretch est fini car elle est assez grande et doit laisser un peu de place au autres. 08/12: la troisième semaine débute sur une note un peu amer. Certaines feuilles se détériore à une vitesse folle, ainsi que des tâches brune. Premier réflexe GHE essential et cal-mag agent de Canna ce matin. Espérons que les prochains jours seront plus cool et que cela vas arranger mon problème. 08/13: après avoir fait plus de recherche je suis enfin tombé sur un article sur le blog de pevgrow et mon problème correspond en tout point à une carence en magnésium. Je devrais voir voir des améliorations dans les 4 à 7 jours. Et bien-sûr continuer à donner du calmag. Le problème viendrai du fait que je tourne en 24/7 avec les auto's enfin c'est ce que je pense après avoir croisé les conseils et avis des "growers" de GD et certains articles. 08/14: c'est dernier jours ont été intense pour moi, lors de mon premier diaries j'avais déjà eu le même problèmes avec une purplequeen auto à l'époque je n'avais pas de calmag... enfin tous ça pour dire merci à la communauté growdiaries.com qui m'a conseillé et supporter. Maintenant cela c'est stabilisé et n'atteint aucune autre feuilles, les nouvelles feuilles sont belles et viguoireuses. Me voilà rassurer et surtout j'ai encore appris de nouvelles chose sur la cannabiculture 😎😨🤓 08/15: elle a créée une belle masse de feuilles entre temps, je vais appliquer une grosse defoliation après le prochain engraissâge histoire d'être que les carences ne sont plus d'actualités. À part cela je me contente de couper deux feuilles par jours. #46 08/16: tout est rentré dans l'ordre ouF :D - la production de trichromes à bien commencé, une légère odeur typique à la weed qu'elle que soit la variété en début de flo. se dégage de la growbox. je suis enchanté! Maintenant j'epère que le switch d'engrais càd changer "BioBizz bloom/topmax" pour "Canna PK13-14/Boost Accelerator" vas lui plaire à la jolie dame #47 08/17: apres une de nuit de réflexion: arrosage/engraisser (canna calmag (.6ml/L)/BB blom-topMax (1.2ml/L chaqu'un)/ AN BigBud-BudCandy (1ml/L chaqu'un) ce matin. J'essayerai canna pk 13 14 et boost accelerator sur mon prochain plant. #48

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !!

Week 13! We made it to harvest! The buds are looking gorgeous..bright green super crystally from that 48 hours of darkness prior..and oh so many hints of purple all thanks to my efforts of cooling down temps at night. Smelling absolutely dank right after drying which was a nice teaser for me when I get to finally smoke her! I have two plants chopped one is still drying and I’ll probably add one more photo because it had one fat cola that needs to be shared LOL! Unfortunately this plant was 6 grams short of giving me 2 full ounces but i’m still learning and they weren’t trained at all and I’m happy with the result! I think the plant still hanging will give me an ounce or less..it was my corner plant that didn’t get much tending. What a fun strain to grow will update on the smoke eventually!

вот и пришел цвет) будем надеяться что все пойдет по плану))👋👌

Sie hat den letzten Frisörbesuch sehr gut überstanden. Heute stand Entlaubung auf dem Plan sowie Entfernung zu kleiner Blüten. Ihre Sonnensegel sind extrem spitz und lang: Was für ein sative Monster! Diese Blattform gefällt uns sehr. 😍 Wir sind gespannt auf den Stretch der Blüten und hoffen das sie nicht zu instabil wird. Sie hat ein sattes grün und zeigt keinerlei über- oder unterdüngende Eigenschaften.😎

So langsam fangen beide Phenos an zu riechen. Pheno#1, die etwas größere Pflanze mit kleineren Buds, riecht leicht nach dem typischen Runtz Geruch und etwas doller als Pheno#2 mit sehr großen Buds. Beide Pflanzen sind schon gut frosty.

We did a 9 week veg on this Raspberry Boogie. Came in week 2 and did major defoliation and lollipop. Just beginning to stretch internally space is decent im expecting UFO bud structure. Instagram @mackeys_grove

9/15 12AM MONDAY!!! THEY ARE ALL DOING GREAT!!! VERY HEAVY AMINOS YESTERDAY, NO DAMAGE. 9/15 11:24PM. In plant cells, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) act as transporters, facilitating the movement of anthocyanins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the vacuole for storage, though their exact mechanism is still being studied. The synthesis of glutathione (GSH) itself occurs in the cytosol of mammalian cells through two ATP-requiring enzymatic steps, while anthocyanins are synthesized via a separate phenylpropanoid pathway 9/15 11:42PM glutathione metabolism glutathione S-transferases plantsThinkingKicking off 5 searchesLooking at 71 sitesPutting it all together In plants, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a diverse family of enzymes integral to glutathione (GSH) metabolism, primarily functioning in detoxification and stress response. The core of this process involves GSTs catalyzing the conjugation of the tripeptide GSH with various toxic compounds, or xenobiotics, making them less harmful and easier to sequester or transport. Glutathione (GSH) metabolism in plants GSH metabolism is a tightly regulated process that maintains cellular redox balance and protects against stress. Biosynthesis: GSH is synthesized in two adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent steps:(gamma )-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (GSH1) joins L-glutamate and L-cysteine to form (gamma )-glutamylcysteine. In Arabidopsis, this enzyme is located exclusively in the chloroplasts.Glutathione synthetase (GSH2) adds glycine to (gamma )-glutamylcysteine to produce GSH. This enzyme is found in both the cytosol and the chloroplasts.Oxidation and reduction: GSH exists in two forms: a reduced monomer (GSH) and an oxidized disulfide dimer (GSSG).Oxidation: In the process of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), GSH is oxidized to GSSG.Reduction: Glutathione reductase (GR) uses NADPH to reduce GSSG back into active GSH, which is essential for maintaining a high GSH-to-GSSG ratio inside the cell.Degradation: Glutathione can be degraded in the cytosol, apoplast, and vacuoles by (gamma )-glutamyltransferases (GGTs) and other peptidases, allowing for recycling of its amino acid components.Transport and compartmentalization: While synthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and cytosol, transporters move GSH and its conjugates throughout the cell, including to the mitochondria, peroxisomes, and vacuoles. Functions of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) GSTs are a large, ancient gene family with diverse roles that extend beyond detoxification. The primary functions involving GSH are: Detoxification of xenobiotics and heavy metals: GSTs catalyze the conjugation of the thiol group of GSH to a wide range of electrophilic and hydrophobic substrates, including herbicides, pesticides, and heavy metals. The resulting GSH-conjugates are then recognized by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and sequestered in the vacuole, reducing their cellular toxicity.Protection from oxidative stress: Stress conditions like drought, salinity, and high light increase levels of ROS, which cause lipid peroxidation. 🚨Some GST isoforms have glutathione peroxidase (GPOX) activity, using GSH to reduce toxic lipid hydroperoxides to less damaging alcohols, thereby protecting cell membranes.Defense against pathogens: During pathogen attacks, GST activity increases to detoxify microbial toxins and secondary defense-related compounds. This helps to bolster the plant's resistance response.Metabolism of endogenous compounds: GSTs play roles beyond immediate stress response by participating in the normal metabolic processes of plants. Examples include:Hormone transport: Some GSTs act as binding proteins (ligandins) that transport plant hormones like auxins within the cell.Metabolite transport: Specific GSTs facilitate the transport of important compounds like flavonoids and anthocyanin pigments into the vacuole.Tyrosine degradation: The zeta GST class (GSTZ) catalyzes a critical step in the breakdown of the amino acid tyrosine.Redox signaling: By influencing the GSH/GSSG ratio and interacting with plant hormones, GSTs can regulate cellular signaling pathways that control growth and stress response. 🚨GSTs and plant stress response The expression of many GST genes is highly inducible by various environmental and endogenous cues, making them key players in a plant's ability to adapt to adverse conditions. Abiotic stress: Drought, salinity, heavy metals, and extreme temperatures all trigger increased GST expression, which helps plants manage resulting oxidative damage. Overexpression of specific GST genes has been shown to enhance stress tolerance in transgenic plants.Herbicide resistance: The ability of crops and weeds to detoxify herbicides through GST-catalyzed conjugation is a well-studied example of GSTs in stress adaptation. Herbicide safeners, chemical agents that protect crops from herbicide injury, work by boosting the activity of these GST enzymes.Developmental processes: Studies have linked the expression of certain GST genes to specific stages of plant development, such as fruit ripening, root and stem development, and flower formation. "" 9/16 12:32am AI Overview In plants, phenylalanine is the precursor for anthocyanin synthesis, a process that involves a multistep pathway in which glutathione (GSH) plays a critical role in the transport of the final pigment to the cell vacuole. Phenylalanine initiates anthocyanin synthesis The biosynthesis of anthocyanins begins with the amino acid phenylalanine, which is produced via the shikimate pathway. The conversion process, known as the phenylpropanoid pathway, involves a series of enzymatic reactions: 1. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL): This enzyme catalyzes the first committed step of the pathway, converting L-phenylalanine into trans-cinnamic acid. 2. Downstream enzymatic reactions: A series of additional enzymes, such as chalcone synthase and chalcone isomerase, convert the intermediate compounds into unstable anthocyanidins. 3. Glycosylation: Glycosyltransferase enzymes stabilize the anthocyanidins by adding sugar molecules, creating the final, stable anthocyanin pigments. 4. Glutathione is crucial for anthocyanin transport After synthesis, glutathione is essential for transporting anthocyanins for storage. * Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs): These enzymes bind to the newly formed anthocyanins in the cytoplasm. This binding is a key step that facilitates the transport of the anthocyanin-GST complex across the tonoplast (the vacuolar membrane) and into the vacuole. * Vacuolar storage: Once inside the vacuole, the anthocyanins accumulate and provide color to plant parts, such as flowers, fruits, and leaves. * Catalytic role: Recent research has also found that certain GSTs have a catalytic role in anthocyanin synthesis. They can catalyze a dehydration step to form specific anthocyanidins, significantly boosting production in engineered systems. * The process in summary The synthesis and accumulation of anthocyanins involve a coordinated process of multiple steps: 1. Production from phenylalanine: The amino acid phenylalanine enters the phenylpropanoid pathway, where enzymes convert it into the basic flavonoid structures. 2. Formation of anthocyanidins: Further enzymatic modifications produce the colored but unstable anthocyanidins. 3. Stabilization and transport with glutathione: These anthocyanidins are stabilized by glycosylation and then bound by GSTs (which use glutathione). This binding enables their transport into the vacuole for storage and visible pigmentation. 9/15 12:46AM https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7238016/ 9/16 1:30AM BKO is looking great!!! Conclusion The “butter frosting” resin on Cookie Apple F1, healthy yellow-green fusiform, and Blueberry KO’s pigmented cotyledons show your anthocyanin-glutathione-phenylalanine strategy is working—phenylalanine drives synthesis, glutathione ensures transport.

It transports anthocyanins into the cell's vacuole for storage. * Glutathione (GSH) production: Anthocyanins can promote glutathione synthesis in certain cells. For instance, the anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (C3G) has been shown to increase the expression of glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gclc), a key enzyme in GSH synthesis. * Antioxidant effect: By upregulating GSH production, anthocyanins contribute to the antioxidant defense system, protecting cells from oxidative stress. * Proline and glutathione synthesis * Shared precursor: In some organisms, the synthesis pathways for proline and glutathione share a precursor molecule called γ-glutamyl phosphate. * Alternative pathway: Research on bacteria and yeast has revealed an alternative, trace pathway where γ-glutamyl phosphate from the proline synthesis pathway can be diverted to produce the glutathione precursor γ-glutamylcysteine. * Oxidative stress response: Studies in mouse oocytes show that supplementing with proline upregulates genes related to glutathione synthesis (Gclc and Gclm), increases glutathione levels, and reduces oxidative stress. * TMG powder, methylation, and homocysteine * Methyl donor: Trimethylglycine (TMG), or betaine, is a potent methyl donor, meaning it provides methyl groups needed for various biochemical processes in the body, including the methylation cycle. * Homocysteine regulation: One of TMG's primary functions is to convert the amino acid homocysteine into methionine. This helps regulate homocysteine levels, which is important for cardiovascular health. * TMG and proline interaction: In plants and some organisms, TMG and proline act as compatible solutes or osmoprotectants, helping cells stabilize against osmotic stress like drought or salinity. However, in human biology, TMG mainly functions through methylation, while proline is involved in different metabolic and antioxidant roles. * How they all relate The listed components are connected through several overlapping metabolic and regulatory pathways: * Anthocyanin synthesis starts with phenylalanine. * Anthocyanins can promote glutathione synthesis via upregulation of key enzymes like Gclc. * Glutathione synthesis can be influenced by the proline synthesis pathway, as they share an intermediate in some contexts. * TMG powder supports the methylation cycle, which helps regulate homocysteine levels. While TMG and proline serve similar protective roles in some organisms, their primary human metabolic functions differ, with TMG focusing on methylation and proline having distinct roles in antioxidant response and metabolism 9/17 217am Die Hard Christmas Grow 9/18, 11:34 AM.

The tripeptide accomplishes this through its role in transporting pigments within plant cells and in protecting against environmental stresses like UV radiation that can cause oxidative damage. Transporting pigments into plant cell vacuoles Glutathione works with a class of enzymes called Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) to transport pigments like anthocyanins into the vacuole for storage. Anthocyanin transport: In plants with pigmented tissues, such as purple grapes or red flowers, glutathione-conjugated pigments are transported by GSTs across the tonoplast membrane into the vacuole. This process is crucial for the stable accumulation of pigments. Genetic manipulation: Research shows that manipulating specific GST genes can alter a plant's pigmentation. For instance, silencing a particular GST gene in purple grape hyacinths caused their petal color to shift to a lighter shade of purple. Similarly, defective GST genes in carnations resulted in pale-colored flowers. Protecting against UV light and stress Glutathione helps regulate plant pigmentation in response to environmental factors, especially UV-B radiation. Activating flavonoid production: When plants are exposed to UV light, a surge in glutathione triggers the expression of genes involved in producing flavonoids. Flavonoids, including anthocyanins, can act as protective sunscreens for the plant, and their increased synthesis and accumulation can alter visible coloration. Balancing oxidative stress: Intense UV-B radiation increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants, which can cause oxidative damage. Glutathione is a master antioxidant that helps detoxify these ROS, preventing cellular damage that can affect a plant's pigment-producing mechanisms. Indirectly influencing plant colors By regulating cellular redox status and interacting with other molecules, glutathione also affects pigment expression in more indirect ways. The xanthophyll cycle: As part of a plant's antioxidant system, glutathione helps maintain the reduced state of other protective antioxidants like tocopherol and zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment involved in the xanthophyll cycle, which helps dissipate excess light energy. Redox signaling: The balance between reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) is a key cellular signal for stress response. A shift in this ratio during environmental stress can influence the production of secondary metabolites like pigments, allowing the plant to adapt. " 9/19 1:41AM AI Overview The key difference is that anthocyanins are the sugar-containing form (glycosides) of pigments, while anthocyanidins are the sugar-free form (aglycones). Anthocyanidins are the foundational molecules, and when a sugar molecule attaches to them, they become anthocyanins, which are more stable and water-soluble, making them the forms found naturally in plants, such as berries and purple vegetables. Anthocyanidin (Aglycone) Structure: The basic, sugar-free molecule of the anthocyanin structure. Location: Not found freely in nature but is the core component that is then glycosylated. Properties: Color changes with pH, being visible in acidic conditions but colorless in basic conditions. Examples: Cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, petunidin, and malvidin. Anthocyanin (Glycoside) Structure: Consists of an anthocyanidin linked to one or more sugar molecules. Location: Found in the vacuoles of plant cells. Properties: Water-soluble and are the pigments responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors in plants. Function: The sugar attached provides stability, allowing for accumulation in plants and providing antioxidant properties. Examples: Cyanidin-3-glucoside and other derivatives like acylated anthocyanins. " 9/19 2:43AM I also saw a good mans immediate accent into Heaven, that perspective matters too. no less angry about it though. 9/19 10AM Heavy Amino spray 250mg each in 1L of Setria Glutathione and Phenylalanine 9/19 10:10PM The sons and daughters of americas real terror organization carried out the last horror show, and the one before that and before that. It's not a foreign country, it's always the anti white anti human black sheets and badges that did this. 9/19 10:43PM AI Overview Phenylalanine and glutathione contribute to plant colors through different biochemical pathways . Phenylalanine is a precursor for the pigments themselves, primarily anthocyanins, while glutathione is involved in the transport and stabilization of these pigments within the plant cell. Phenylalanine: The pigment precursor The source of aromatic compounds: Phenylalanine is an aromatic amino acid and the starting compound for the phenylpropanoid pathway in plants. This pathway produces a vast number of secondary metabolites, including anthocyanins, which give many plants their red, purple, and blue colors. Color enhancement: Research has shown that increasing the amount of available phenylalanine can lead to more intense red coloration in some fruits, such as mangoes and apples. Pathway stimulation: Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is a key enzyme in this pathway that converts phenylalanine into precursors for anthocyanin biosynthesis. An increase in phenylalanine levels stimulates this entire process. Glutathione: The pigment transporter Anthocyanin transport: After anthocyanin pigments are synthesized in the cell's cytoplasm, they must be transported into the central vacuole for storage. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of enzymes that facilitate this process. Color intensity: A functional GST is essential for proper anthocyanin accumulation. Mutations in GST genes can result in a significant decrease in color intensity, as seen in the pale or white flowers of certain gentian mutants. Mechanism of action: The GST binds to the anthocyanin pigment and moves it from the cytoplasm into the vacuole. If the GST is defective, the pigment cannot be transported correctly, leading to a loss of coloration. Summary of interactions The roles of phenylalanine and glutathione are distinct but cooperative in producing plant colors: Phenylalanine provides the essential building blocks for creating the colored compounds (anthocyanins). Glutathione, with the help of GSTs, ensures these colored compounds are correctly moved to their storage location (the vacuole). This cooperative system explains why mutations or deficiencies in either process can lead to reduced or altered coloration in plants." 9/19 10:51PM AI Overview. Trimethylglycine (TMG) supports the production of glutathione, a vital antioxidant . However, there is no evidence to suggest a direct relationship between these supplements, the amino acid phenylalanine, and the colors of plants. The concepts are linked indirectly via complex biological processes. Trimethylglycine (TMG) and glutathione TMG and glutathione are connected through the body's methylation cycle. TMG as a methyl donor: TMG plays a critical role in the methylation process by donating a methyl group, which helps convert the harmful amino acid homocysteine back into methionine. Support for glutathione production: This methylation cycle, which is supported by TMG, is essential for producing glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects against cellular damage and is crucial for detoxification. Supplementation considerations: TMG supplements are sometimes taken alongside other supplements to support health, though consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended. Phenylalanine and the methylation cycle Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid, but its role is distinct from the TMG-glutathione process. Essential nutrient: Phenylalanine is a key nutrient for cellular metabolism. Potential interactions: A separate medical study on experimental hyperphenylalaninemia (abnormally high phenylalanine levels) in chicks observed a decrease in other amino acids in the brain, including those involved in the glutathione pathway. This demonstrates how excessive levels of one amino acid can potentially influence others, though this does not represent a typical interaction. Plant colors The connection between the supplements and plant colors is purely conceptual, as the colors are determined by completely different biological processes. Anthocyanins: The colors of many plants, including red, purple, and blue flowers, come from pigments called anthocyanins. Glutathione in plants: While plants contain glutathione as an antioxidant to combat stress, it influences color by regulating the transport and accumulation of anthocyanin pigments, not by being a pigment itself. TMG and phenylalanine in plants: Plants contain TMG, which functions as an osmoprotectant (protecting against osmotic stress). They also contain phenylalanine, but these substances do not directly determine the plant's visible color." 9/19 11:21PM. !!!!!! this was pointless and im dumber for having read it. !!!

Plants are absolutely exploding out of the closet and ready to be put in the flower tent!

Hey guys, Plants still stretching hopefully it will stop very soon, for a indica they do stretch an awful lot, smell is increasing now like a strange ammonia dank kind of smell, flowering is well u underway done my final Lollipoping yesterday so no plants on full autopilot mode until they are done 👍 see you all next week 💚🌱🌴🙏

They are 46 and 60.5 cm Both of them look pretty, each one is different from the other but they are beautiful 😍 Taller keeps beeing full of pistils, and the smallers that have green buds almost without pistils now is developing some kind of purple color on her leaves. They have a strong sweet and critric smell, the strongest among my plants. Watered yesterday with nutrients, i'm not sure if keep feeding them or not. I guess if i give them one more week (maybe cut them on feb 11) their colas may gain some weight, specially lower buds. Added a video of each plant, i hope you enjoy 😺

Bubble og they seem to be over taking my little seedling tent almost half the seedlings I have are bubble og. I don't plan on keeping them all I'm only going to flower either 6 or 8 of the 12 seedlings. They all have a very uniform apreance and height. They are growing better than early early seedlings. Not fast or anything but health growth now. They all have very dark leaves might have some black leaves at harvest Last grow I overwatered and had to toss them because growth got stunted and a bunch if fungus knats got to the soil. This time I'm trying promix potting soil wish I had tried promix hp but the store close by isn't a hudro store and that's what they had. So this time I'm being very cautious with the watering I'm only useing a spray bottle I'm currently giving 45 spray per solo cup every few days when it dries out. This promix soil seems to hold water decent so the 45 spray there is 0 water coming out the bottom the cup yet. Here soon I think I'm going to double the amount of spray to 90 and start letting the soil get dry dry before watering again. Probably will hold off on any nutes quite yet. I'm going from 24/0 to 20/4 light schedule this week. There getting to the point they won't strech as much is 4 hrs of darkness and I'm rasing the light intensity a little it's been around 150 I'm upping it to around 175. Most likely by the end of the week I'll probably be pushing 200 or close. Hopefully I can get them into the big tent soon At this stage I like to alternate having the fan blowing on them I feel it gives them time to recover and get stronger instead of wind stress. Also every few days I will turn the plants so they are facing away from the light making them grow back towards the light I fell it makes them stronger

What an incredible grow this has been! It's definitely up there with my best and favorite indoor grows I've done on Grow Diaries so far. It had a strong, resilient and beautiful growth from the first week when it fell all the way to harvest. Definitely an easy plant to grow that had an amazing pay off in the end. I think it's safe to say that anyone could grow this strain with mid level supplies and minimal experience and get good results. If I ran more powerful lights and kept a more comfortable environment (humidity etc) I don't see why my yields couldn't get even better with each grow. Even at the 4 ounces of good smokeable buds and 1 and 1/2 of trim and larf I was very satisfied . After drying and curing the plant had a strong smell with hints of flowers and sweet fruit. The taste was subtle fruity and sweet too. Where the Blue Monkey really shines is with making concentrates. I was able to do a few different projects with it. First I did some rosin pressing where the return rate was just barely under a 20%, which is very good. A 4 gram squish giving .8 gram back, that's the best return I've gotten off just bud, no kief or hash pressing. Then I decided to make some rick simpson oil. Ground buds and trim, decarb it, put it into the jars with high proof alcohol 150+, let it sit and shake overnight and then strain into a dark tincture, then use double boiler with no open flames to evaporate all of the alcohol out, and suck up into some syringes. I got 12 ml total...which is equal to 12 grams of RSO. It was awesome, you can smoke it, use it for edibles, a good diverse concentrate. * Don't forget to make your mom a care package, she'll be happy.💚 All in all this was the most productive, and educational grow I've had all year. Not to mention the plant and buds were just gorgeous! Thank you @exoticseed this was an amazing seed you created.
