Thank you for sharing the details of your foliar spray mix for your autoflower cannabis grow. You’re using a combination of **proline (400 mg)**, **Setria glutathione (250 mg)**, **L-glycine (1000 mg)**, **TMG (400 mg)**, and **L-glutamine (100 mg)** in a 2 L solution, applied as a foliar spray. This mix is amino acid-focused, aligning with your previous interest in essential amino acids and nutrient optimization for cannabis, as well as your questions about flushing agents and personal supplementation. I’ll evaluate the potential benefits, risks, and considerations of this foliar spray for your autoflower cannabis plants, focusing on how these compounds affect growth, stress resistance, and bud quality, particularly given the unique needs of autoflowers (e.g., shorter life cycle, sensitivity to nutrient stress). I’ll also address how this spray complements your earlier nutrient mix and provide practical recommendations. ### Breakdown of Your Foliar Spray Mix (2 L Solution) Let’s analyze each component, its concentration, and its role in cannabis cultivation when applied foliarly to autoflowers: 1. **Proline (400 mg in 2 L = 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Proline is an amino acid that acts as an osmoprotectant and antioxidant, helping plants manage stress (e.g., drought, high light, nutrient imbalances). - **Benefits for Autoflowers**: - Enhances stress resistance, crucial for autoflowers under intense indoor lighting or environmental fluctuations. - Supports pollen development and flowering, potentially increasing bud set during the short autoflower bloom phase (4–6 weeks). - Promotes cell wall strength, improving plant vigor and resilience. - **Considerations**: At 200 mg/L, this is a moderate dose, effective for stress mitigation without risking nutrient overload. Autoflowers are sensitive to overfeeding, so this is appropriate. 2. **Setria Glutathione (250 mg in 2 L = 125 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant tripeptide (glutamate, cysteine, glycine) that protects plant cells from oxidative stress caused by high light, heat, or nutrient imbalances. - **Benefits for Autoflowers**: - Reduces oxidative damage in leaves, preserving photosynthesis efficiency, which is critical for autoflowers’ rapid growth cycle. - Enhances stress tolerance, particularly under high-intensity lighting or CO₂ supplementation common in indoor grows. - May improve terpene and cannabinoid production by protecting metabolic pathways during flowering. - **Considerations**: Glutathione is not a standard foliar spray component, but at 125 mg/L, it’s a low, experimental dose. Limited research exists on its direct foliar application in cannabis, but it’s likely safe and may complement proline and glycine’s antioxidant effects. 3. **L-Glycine (1000 mg in 2 L = 500 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Glycine supports chlorophyll synthesis, protein production, and nutrient chelation, enhancing photosynthesis and growth. - **Benefits for Autoflowers**: - Boosts photosynthesis, leading to greener leaves and faster growth, critical for autoflowers’ short vegetative phase (2–4 weeks). - Chelates micronutrients (e.g., zinc, iron), improving foliar nutrient uptake, though it may reduce calcium/iron absorption (as noted in your earlier question). - Supports terpene synthesis, enhancing bud aroma and flavor. - **Considerations**: Your previous nutrient mix used 500 mg/L glycine, and you asked about increasing to 500 mg/L (possibly a typo or volume confusion). At 500 mg/L, this is a high but effective dose for foliar application, though excessive nitrogen from glycine could delay flowering if overused in late bloom. 4. **TMG (Trimethylglycine/Betaine, 400 mg in 2 L = 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: TMG is an osmoprotectant and methyl donor, enhancing stress tolerance and metabolic efficiency. - **Benefits for Autoflowers**: - Protects against environmental stress (e.g., high EC, temperature swings), improving resilience in hydroponic or indoor setups. - Supports photosynthesis and nutrient uptake by stabilizing proteins and membranes, beneficial for autoflowers’ rapid growth. - May enhance terpene production indirectly via metabolic support. - **Considerations**: At 200 mg/L, this is a moderate dose, lower than your previous 500 mg/L, reducing the risk of nutrient burn while maintaining stress protection. 5. **L-Glutamine (100 mg in 2 L = 50 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Glutamine is a nitrogen transport amino acid, supporting chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis. - **Benefits for Autoflowers**: - Promotes lush vegetative growth and greener leaves, ideal for the early stages of autoflowers. - Enhances stress tolerance via glutathione production (synergizing with Setria glutathione). - Supports bud development by providing nitrogen for protein synthesis. - **Considerations**: At 50 mg/L, this is a low dose (down from 250 mg/L in your previous mix), minimizing nitrogen overload risks in flowering autoflowers, which are sensitive to excess nitrogen. ### Overall Effects on Autoflower Cannabis - **Vegetative Phase (Weeks 1–3)**: - This foliar spray is well-suited for the vegetative stage of autoflowers, as glycine, glutamine, and proline promote photosynthesis, leaf growth, and stress resistance. TMG and glutathione further protect against oxidative stress from high-intensity lighting or nutrient fluctuations, common in indoor grows. - The low nitrogen content (primarily from glycine and glutamine) supports vigorous growth without overwhelming autoflowers, which require less nitrogen than photoperiod strains. - **Flowering Phase (Weeks 4–8/10)**: - The spray supports terpene production (via glycine, proline) and stress resilience, enhancing bud quality and aroma. Glutathione’s antioxidant properties may protect cannabinoid synthesis pathways. - However, glycine (500 mg/L) and glutamine contribute nitrogen, which could delay bud ripening or reduce THC if overused in late flowering. Previous research (from your amino acid question) showed amino acids can reduce THCA, so caution is needed after week 5–6. - Autoflowers have a short flowering window, so foliar sprays should be minimized or stopped in the last 2–3 weeks to avoid nutrient residues affecting bud flavor. - **Stress Resistance**: - The combination of proline, TMG, and glutathione is highly effective for protecting autoflowers from stress (e.g., high EC, heat, light intensity), which is critical given their sensitivity to environmental changes. - Foliar application ensures rapid uptake, bypassing root zone issues in hydroponics or coco. ### Synergy with Your Previous Nutrient Mix Your earlier nutrient mix (Connoisseur A/B, NO precursors, amino acids, methylene blue) was root-fed and nitrogen-heavy, complementing this foliar spray: - **Complementary Effects**: The foliar spray’s focus on stress protection (proline, TMG, glutathione) and photosynthesis (glycine, glutamine) enhances the root mix’s growth and bloom support. Foliar application targets leaf health, while root feeding supports overall nutrient uptake. - **Methylene Blue Omission**: Excluding methylene blue from the foliar spray is wise, as its effects on plants are unproven, and foliar application risks leaf staining or phytotoxicity. Your root mix’s low dose (2.5 mg/L) is experimental but safer. - **Nitrogen Balance**: The foliar spray’s lower nitrogen (glutamine 50 mg/L, glycine 500 mg/L) balances the root mix’s high nitrogen (glutamine 250 mg/L, glycine 500 mg/L, EAAs, L-arginine), reducing the risk of overfeeding autoflowers. ### Potential Risks and Considerations 1. **Nitrogen Overload in Flowering**: - **Risk**: Glycine (500 mg/L) and glutamine (50 mg/L) contribute nitrogen, which could delay flowering or produce leafy buds in autoflowers if applied heavily in late bloom (weeks 6–8). - **Solution**: Limit foliar sprays to once weekly in early flowering (weeks 4–5) and stop by week 6–7 to focus on bud ripening. Use only water or a flushing agent (e.g., FloraKleen, as you preferred) in the final 1–2 weeks. 2. **Nutrient Imbalance**: - **Risk**: Amino acids (glycine, glutamine) can chelate micronutrients, potentially reducing calcium and iron uptake (as noted in your earlier question). Autoflowers are prone to deficiencies due to their fast cycle. - **Solution**: Monitor for calcium/iron deficiency (yellowing leaves, interveinal chlorosis) and add a foliar calmag supplement (e.g., 1 mL/L CaliMagic) if needed. Your root-fed Connoisseur A/B provides some micronutrients, but foliar sprays bypass roots. 3. **Glutathione’s Experimental Nature**: - **Risk**: Glutathione is not a standard foliar nutrient for cannabis, and its efficacy at 125 mg/L is unstudied. It’s likely safe but may not provide significant benefits beyond proline and TMG’s stress protection. - **Solution**: Treat glutathione as an experiment. Compare sprayed plants to unsprayed ones for 2 weeks to assess improvements in leaf color or bud quality. Discontinue if no clear benefit. 4. **Overapplication of Foliar Spray**: - **Risk**: Foliar sprays can cause leaf burn or mold if applied too frequently or in high humidity. Autoflowers’ dense canopies increase mold risk in late flowering. - **Solution**: Apply early in the day, ensure good airflow, and spray only 1–2 times per week. Use a fine mist sprayer to avoid drenching leaves. 5. **EC and pH**: - **Risk**: The spray’s low concentrations (total ~1.15 g/L) are unlikely to spike EC, but combined with your root mix, monitor overall nutrient strength. The pH (previously 5.9) is suitable for foliar uptake (5.5–6.5). - **Solution**: Test spray pH (aim for 5.8–6.2) and root zone EC (1.0–1.5 mS/cm in veg, 1.5–2.0 mS/cm in bloom) to avoid overfeeding. ### Recommendations for Your Autoflower Grow 1. **Application Timing**: - **Vegetative Phase (Weeks 1–3)**: Apply the foliar spray 1–2 times weekly to boost photosynthesis and stress resistance. The mix is ideal for autoflowers’ rapid vegetative growth. - **Early Flowering (Weeks 4–5)**: Reduce to once weekly to support terpene production and bud set, but avoid excessive nitrogen from glycine/glutamine. - **Late Flowering (Weeks 6–8/10)**: Stop foliar sprays by week 6–7 to prevent nitrogen residues and ensure clean buds. Use FloraKleen (5–10 mL/gal) for a final flush (1–2 weeks) to clear nutrients, as you preferred over SledgeHammer. 2. **Monitor Plant Response**: - Watch for signs of nitrogen excess (dark green leaves, clawing, delayed flowering) or deficiencies (yellowing, spotting). Autoflowers are sensitive, so adjust spray frequency if issues arise. - Compare glutathione-sprayed plants to controls to assess its value. If no noticeable improvement (e.g., greener leaves, better buds), simplify the mix to proline, glycine, and TMG. 3. **Complementary Root Feeding**: - Continue your root mix (Connoisseur A/B, NO precursors, etc.) but reduce nitrogen-heavy components (e.g., glutamine, EAAs) in flowering to balance the foliar spray’s glycine/glutamine. Aim for 2–3 mL/L Connoisseur A/B in bloom. - Add a bloom booster (e.g., Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy, 1–2 mL/L) in weeks 4–6 to enhance terpenes and sugars without excess nitrogen. 4. **Foliar Spray Best Practices**: - Spray early in the light cycle to allow drying and prevent mold. - Use a fine mist to lightly coat leaves, avoiding runoff. - Ensure pH is 5.8–6.2 for optimal foliar uptake. - Maintain good airflow and humidity below 50% in flowering to prevent bud rot. 5. **Glutathione Experiment**: - Since glutathione is unproven in cannabis, apply to a few plants and track differences in growth, leaf health, or bud quality. If benefits are unclear after 2 weeks, consider excluding it to reduce costs. ### Conclusion Your amino acid-focused foliar spray (proline 200 mg/L, glutathione 125 mg/L, glycine 500 mg/L, TMG 200 mg/L, glutamine 50 mg/L) is well-suited for autoflower cannabis, particularly in the vegetative phase, where it boosts photosynthesis, stress resistance, and growth. In early flowering, it supports terpene production and bud set, but caution is needed in late flowering to avoid nitrogen buildup from glycine and glutamine, which could reduce THC or affect bud flavor. Glutathione is an experimental addition, likely safe but unproven, so monitor its effects. Pair this spray with your root-fed nutrient mix, using FloraKleen for flushing, and adjust based on plant response to optimize your autoflower yield and quality. If you can share more details (e.g., autoflower strain, growth stage, hydroponic vs. coco, lighting setup), I can refine the recommendations further. I can also search X or recent studies for grower experiences with foliar amino acids or glutathione in cannabis.

Thanks for the update! It’s great that you’re adding **General Hydroponics FloraNectar FruitnFusion Sweetener** to your root-fed nutrient mix for your autoflower cannabis grow, especially since you don’t have **Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy** but want to incorporate the sugar-based bloom booster I recommended (1–2 mL/L) to enhance terpenes and sugars. Your current mix includes **Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B (1.5 mL/L each, total 3 mL/L)**, **proline (200 mg/L)**, **Setria glutathione (125 mg/L)**, **L-glycine (500 mg/L)**, **TMG (200 mg/L)**, and **L-glutamine (50 mg/L)** in a 2 L solution, and you’ve noted success with a similar foliar spray. I’ll evaluate the addition of **FloraNectar FruitnFusion** at 1–2 mL/L to this mix, focusing on its benefits, potential risks, and considerations for your autoflower grow, particularly in the context of flowering (since you’re using Connoisseur Bloom A & B). I’ll also ensure compatibility with your mix and provide tailored recommendations, factoring in your preference for **FloraKleen** for flushing and the autoflowers’ sensitivity. ### Overview of FloraNectar FruitnFusion Sweetener - **Composition**: FloraNectar FruitnFusion is a carbohydrate-based supplement containing cane sugar, molasses, and malt syrup, with added potassium, magnesium, and natural fruit flavorings. It’s designed to enhance sweetness, aroma, and flavor in buds by providing energy for secondary metabolite production (e.g., terpenes, flavonoids). - **Purpose**: Boosts terpene and sugar content in flowers, improves bud flavor, and supports microbial activity in soil (though less relevant in hydroponics/coco). It’s marketed for hydroponic and soil grows, compatible with General Hydroponics’ nutrient lines. - **Recommended Dose**: General Hydroponics suggests 1–2 tsp/gal (1.3–2.6 mL/L) during flowering, aligning with my prior recommendation of 1–2 mL/L (based on Bud Candy’s dosing). Your choice of 1–2 mL/L is appropriate. ### Effects of Adding FloraNectar FruitnFusion (1–2 mL/L) to Your Mix #### Benefits for Autoflower Cannabis 1. **Enhanced Terpene and Flavor Profile**: - The sugars (cane sugar, molasses, malt syrup) provide an energy source for terpene and flavonoid synthesis, improving bud aroma and flavor. This complements the terpene-boosting effects of glycine, proline, and glutamine in your mix, which may increase monoterpenes like limonene and β-myrcene (as noted in your earlier amino acid question). - Autoflowers have a short flowering phase (4–6 weeks), so FloraNectar’s sugars can maximize terpene production in weeks 4–6, enhancing bud quality and market appeal. 2. **Energy for Bud Development**: - Sugars fuel metabolic processes during flowering, supporting resin production and bud density. This synergizes with Connoisseur Bloom B’s high phosphorus/potassium, which drives bud growth. - May offset potential THC reduction from amino acids (e.g., glycine, glutamine), as noted in prior research, by boosting secondary metabolites. 3. **Nutrient Support**: - FloraNectar provides small amounts of potassium and magnesium, which support flower development and chlorophyll function. This complements Connoisseur A/B’s micronutrients, helping prevent deficiencies (e.g., magnesium-related chlorosis) that amino acids like glycine may exacerbate by chelating calcium/iron. 4. **Synergy with Your Mix**: - **Amino Acids (Glycine, Proline, Glutamine)**: These enhance photosynthesis and terpene production, and FloraNectar’s sugars provide additional energy to amplify these effects, potentially leading to sweeter, more aromatic buds. - **Glutathione and TMG**: These support stress resistance, protecting plants during the energy-intensive flowering phase. FloraNectar’s sugars may enhance microbial activity (in soil) or metabolic efficiency (in hydroponics), complementing TMG’s osmoprotectant role. - **Connoisseur A/B**: The nutrient base provides NPK and micronutrients, while FloraNectar adds a carbohydrate boost without excessive nitrogen, ideal for autoflowers in bloom. #### Potential Risks and Considerations 1. **EC Spike**: - **Risk**: FloraNectar’s sugars and minerals (potassium, magnesium) increase electrical conductivity (EC), especially when added to your nutrient-heavy mix (Connoisseur A/B 3 mL/L + amino acids ~1.15 g/L). Autoflowers are sensitive to high EC, risking nutrient burn (tip browning, leaf curl). - **Solution**: Start with 1 mL/L FloraNectar to keep EC in the safe range (1.5–2.0 mS/cm for flowering autoflowers). Measure EC after mixing and dilute (e.g., reduce Connoisseur to 1 mL/L each) if above 2.0 mS/cm. 2. **Nitrogen Overload in Late Flowering**: - **Risk**: Your mix’s glycine (500 mg/L) and glutamine (50 mg/L) contribute nitrogen, which could delay bud ripening or reduce THC in late flowering (weeks 6–8), as amino acids may lower THCA (per prior research). FloraNectar’s low nitrogen content won’t exacerbate this, but the overall mix requires caution. - **Solution**: Reduce glycine to 250 mg/L and glutamine to 25 mg/L in weeks 6–8, and stop all nutrients (including FloraNectar) for the final 1–2 weeks, using FloraKleen (5–10 mL/gal) for flushing. 3. **Calcium/Iron Deficiencyល: **Risk**: Amino acids (glycine, glutamine) may chelate calcium and iron, potentially causing deficiencies. FloraNectar’s magnesium and potassium help, but calcium uptake could still be limited. - **Solution**: Monitor for deficiency signs (yellowing, interveinal chlorosis) and add a calmag supplement (e.g., 1 mL/L CaliMagic) if needed, especially in hydroponics/coco. 4. **Glutathione’s Experimental Role**: - **Risk**: Glutathione (125 mg/L) is unproven for root feeding, though your foliar spray’s success suggests benefits. Its root uptake efficacy is unclear. - **Solution**: Continue monitoring plant response (e.g., bud size, leaf health) and compare to untreated plants. Discontinue if no additional improvement is seen. 5. **Sugar-Related Microbial Issues**: - **Risk**: In soil or high-humidity hydroponic systems, FloraNectar’s sugars could promote unwanted microbial growth (e.g., root zone bacteria) if over-applied. - **Solution**: Ensure proper aeration and avoid overwatering. Use FloraKleen periodically (5 mL/gal every 3–4 weeks) to maintain a clean root zone. ### Recommendations for Your Autoflower Grow 1. **FloraNectar Dosing**: - Start with **1 mL/L** (2 mL in 2 L) to avoid EC spikes, especially with Connoisseur A/B and amino acids. Increase to 2 mL/L in weeks 4–5 if plants tolerate it (no burn signs) and EC remains below 2.0 mS/cm. - Apply during early to mid-flowering (weeks 4–6) to maximize terpene and sugar production, stopping by week 7–8 for flushing. 2. **Growth Stage Adjustments**: - **Vegetative Phase (Weeks 1–3)**: Your mix is suitable, but FloraNectar is less critical here, as sugars are most beneficial in flowering. Consider reserving it for bloom to save costs. - **Early Flowering (Weeks 4–5)**: Use the full mix with FloraNectar (1–2 mL/L) 2–3 times weekly to boost bud development and aroma. - **Late Flowering (Weeks 6–8/10)**: Reduce glycine (250 mg/L), glutamine (25 mg/L), and FloraNectar (0.5–1 mL/L) to minimize nitrogen and sugar residues. Flush with FloraKleen (5–10 mL/gal) for 1–2 weeks with plain water (pH 5.8–6.2) to ensure clean buds. 3. **EC and pH Monitoring**: - Check EC (1.5–2.0 mS/cm in bloom) after adding FloraNectar, as sugars and minerals may increase it. Adjust Connoisseur A/B or amino acids if EC exceeds 2.0 mS/cm. - Maintain pH at 5.8–6.2 for hydroponic/coco root uptake, consistent with your prior 5.9 pH. 4. **Complementary Practices**: - **Calmag Addition**: If calcium/iron deficiencies appear (yellowing, spotting), add 1 mL/L CaliMagic to the mix or as a foliar spray to counter amino acid chelation. - **Foliar Spray Integration**: Continue your amino acid foliar spray (1x weekly) alongside root feeding to maximize stress resistance and terpene production, but stop foliar sprays by week 6 to avoid residues. - **Flushing**: Use FloraKleen (5 mL/gal) every 3–4 weeks and for the final flush (10 mL/gal for 2–3 days, then water) to clear sugars, amino acids, and salts, ensuring smooth-burning buds. 5. **Glutathione Evaluation**: - Given your foliar spray’s success, glutathione may be contributing to plant health. Compare buds from plants watered with and without glutathione to assess its impact on potency or yield. If no clear benefit after 2 weeks, simplify the mix to reduce costs. ### Conclusion Adding **General Hydroponics FloraNectar FruitnFusion** at 1–2 mL/L to your root-fed mix (Connoisseur A/B 3 mL/L, proline 200 mg/L, glutathione 125 mg/L, glycine 500 mg/L, TMG 200 mg/L, glutamine 50 mg/L) is an excellent choice for your autoflower cannabis grow, enhancing terpene production, bud flavor, and flowering energy. It complements the amino acids’ stress resistance and terpene-boosting effects, synergizing with Connoisseur A/B’s bloom nutrients. Start with 1 mL/L to avoid EC spikes, reduce nitrogen-heavy components (glycine, glutamine) in late flowering (weeks 6–8), and flush with FloraKleen to ensure clean buds. Monitor for nutrient imbalances and evaluate glutathione’s role. If you provide details (e.g., strain, growth stage, hydroponic vs. coco), I can further tailor the schedule. I can also search X for grower feedback on FloraNectar with amino acids. Let me know how to proceed!""🚨. 8/3341 AM going to start watering with the amino mix from yesterday, including the sugar💦💦💦🌿🌿🌿. 8/31 12:14PM WOW are they doing great, I think the Amino Spray really did a nice job!! 8/31 854PM. I woke up again drenched in sweat feeling like death, so we are back to normal!!! It only takes a single light to destroy the beauty of the darkness, dont be that light. 9pm put the plants in different tents. OGT, CA 1 & 2 are mid flower the others are just starting, I will top SCA today and replant the top half, STRESS TEST. Mixing Aminos for spraying today, also to feed the top of SCA IF it is successful??!!!

She showed minor discoloration so I added very very little nute from GHE line of course AFTER checking and adjusting ph level first :)

Well, I suppose it was my ambition that influenced all the soil amendments that I added. Just a little too much it turns out. So I figured the only solution to prevent the plant from sitting in all that strong stuff was to transplant into a bigger pot. Her roots have developed fast and she had created a new root ball with the 2.3 L pot. So I ended up going with the big 4 gallon. I hope this will correct the problem. I also added charcoal to the new media to help balance out the concentrations. So for now I will just be watering with plain water or maybe a CalMag water here or there

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas FBA-2506 de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es normalita de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que va repleta de tricomas, y tienes unos colores morado intensos. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue suficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Ladies' continuing growing stronger. They're fatten up the flowers now. I think we have a few more weeks to go. Can't wait to harvest 😍🤤🔥🙏🏻

Started flowering, looks massive, most of branches are covering each other, what can i do?😔

Started flushing the critical auto

First time grower, criticism will be well recieved😀 Two plant ebb and flow setup in a 3x3 as a test run Top feeding until I can afford the rest of my setup🙄 Started seed in water balanced to 6.0 Sat. Feb. 29th Tap roots within 12 hours, directly into pre soaked rockwool cubes. Broke the surface march 3rd. Began 1/4 strength micro, grow, bloom and stress relief Using very hard water for the next couple days, roughly 450 PM out of the tap. Ro system to be installed march 6th Ro system now installed. Start of week 1 will be Saturday the 7th of March. Day 2: Turned the light down to roughly 50%, instead of raising it, due to the fear of light burn. Will look into it soon. Plants seem to have recovered after I decreased the light intensity. Fan and filter purchased. Alternating flush and feed cycles 12 hours apart to keep salt sats down. Day 3: Bumped light intensity back up to roughly 75% of the ts1000's capability or 700 "light units" from a cheapy 3way meter. Adding as much co2 as I can through baking soda and dilute phosphoric acid. Day 4: Exhaust fan with climate control installed March 10th Day 5: Girls exploded now that I have my salt build up figured out . Day 6: Light back up to 100% Day 7:little droopy on the one plant, gonna let them dry out a day Setup should be complete for start of week 2.(actually sick right now and having trouble getting supplies) Still need a flood table setup.

Растут девочки... Посмотрите на ствол он весь усыпан трихомами :) что дальше будет я боюсь представить! Дельта 9 работает во всей красе судя по всему

Hey grow fam, weekly update on these ladies. They've definitely rooted and are starting there journey upward. All are looking great and showing signs of daily growth. I started adding calmag to my feeds and will start grow nutes this week. Over all Happy

Starting week 2 of flower on this super stinky and bushy Bruce Banner Auto from FastBuds! She has been doing a lot better the past few days but still showing some slight yellowing and burnt tips. We are gonna have to keep a close eye on her and make sure these problems don't progress. Other than that she looks perky and happy today so no adjustments yet. More updates soon! Day 55 she is still chugging along nicely! She has been pretty perky this week and been stretching out a lot better! Its about time to defoliate a little as well. We will probably clean her up in next couple of days and remove some lower bud sites in the process. She still has some slight yellowing but it appears to mostly halted and not affecting any new growth so we let her ride it out on rain water only!

Day 74 Harvest time! She didn't have the best start at life, lost a major limb/side stem early on (my fault, too aggressive with LST), and got a bit stunted from stress I think. Flushed twice (once was to get her out of being stunted, it worked). Probably could have left it another couple of days as some of the lower buds were still maturing, not many though, and i needed to get her out of there so I could turn the extractor fan down to bring the humidity up for the young plants. I'm really happy with the result, especially after the small disaster that was Zkittlez (which im pretty sure was actually CBD lemon as its not potent at all). Not a big yield, would have been a lot bigger had she not lost a limb. I'm not too worried though, quality over quantity right? im pretty certain this is the best stuff i've grown so far, 5th times the charm huh? Trichomes are about 80-90% milky and 10-20% amber, first plant i've actually let get amber, so yeah, finally grew something right lol. No nutes for about 2-3 weeks before chop, and yeah 2 flushes, so im hoping it'll have a nice taste. Oh, and i didn't water for 3-5 days before harvest, which could explain why she's so light (not a lot of water weight), visually looks similar to the harvest, size-wise, yet a good 60grams lighter, will be interesting to see what the dry weight is. I'm gonna throw out a guess of 38gms. Even though she has a great smell, its not very stinky while drying, nor was it in the tent. you have to touch the buds to get any scent, pretty handy tbh. Currently drying in my wardrobe with a fan blowing underneath (not touching the buds) for airflow. Happy! EDIT: not the best trim job, im not very well at the moment so just wanted to get it done. plenty of trim that im going to use to make pain relief balms/lotions

As the plant enters the fifth week of flowering, the first trichomes have begun to form. The buds have started to thicken considerably during this week. They are becoming denser and more robust, which indicates that the plant is channeling its energy into producing larger, more resinous flowers. Throughout the growth process, the cannabis plant has shown no signs of health issues. It has remained vigorous and resilient, with no observable deficiencies or diseases. To ensure optimal light penetration and airflow, the plant was lightly defoliated this week. The cannabis plant is progressing well in its fifth week of flowering. The formation of trichomes, the thickening of buds, and the plant's overall health are all promising indicators of a successful flowering phase.

🌹Start Flush🌹

(11/25-12/01) Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos) Unfortunately they have too much of a toll for me to keep up with with 3 sets of grows going now, so this was the last week I am doing them on this set. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 3 Notes & Observations: As mentioned last week, Plant 1 remains the supreme plant now and is producing nice stretch in the node spacing but is still showing a different type of leaf shape than plant 2. No issues from the mainline topping and they seem to be going okay. I will be topping again this weekend for the second of 3 total topping sessions. This topping will be 2 tops off the ends of the last and will produce 4 main colas. **OOPS** was being a little too aggressive in my HST while trying to set the mainline on both plants today. P1 was just a little rip of the skin, I taped her up and suspect she will be fine. However, on P2, I nearly snapped the whole branch off. I taped it and crossed my fingers hoping it works out in a week or two, but have serious doubts it will be able to mend such a large break. We'll see because I am posting ALL of the grow, the good and the bad. VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime and 66-71F overnight. Im not adjusting my lights and look to control them 350ppfd max. Meaning slight increase over last week but mostly just growth increase. Feed & Monitor: ***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe will be noted in this top message of the week that I make it.*** Day 28 (last feed was day 22) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, P1 weighed 15lbs 12oz and P2 was 15lbs 4oz before feed. Each plant got 1 gallon of de-chlorinated tap water with 300ppm Veg Mix concentrate added (recipe on week 2 and makes 1 gallon at about 3600 to 4000ppm concentrate to dilute each feed, i.e. I only fed 300ppm above the purified water ppm this feed) The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.0ph to combat the original higher runoff ph from the first runoff feed. After feed P1 weighed 22lbs 3oz (21lbs 2oz after last feed) and P2 weighed 21lbs 14oz (20lbs 14oz after last feed). I got about 5cups of runoff on P1 (9 cups last feed) and 5 cups on P2 (7 cups last feed) . Runoff for P1 ph was 6.45 with 1170ppm (6.45ph with 980ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.45 with 1230ppm (6.45 with 1130ppm last feed). Top soil tested at: P1 6.35,6.3,6.33,6.33 for an avg of 6.327 (6.497 avg after last feed) and P2 tested at 6.47,6.37,6.26,6.51 avg 6.402 (6.46avg after last feed) - next feed will be 6.3ph as Im liking where the ph is so I dont see any issues, but will continue to monitor this way. Day 34 (last feed was day 28) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. 1st Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz. Before feeding this time, P1 weighed 14lbs 14oz (15lbs 12oz before last feed) and P2 was 14lbs 7oz before feeding (15lbs 4oz before last feed). Each plant got 1.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water with 98ppm Veg Mix concentrate added to flush any salt builds in the soil (recipe on week 2 and makes 1 gallon at about 3600 to 4000ppm concentrate to dilute in each feed, i.e. I only fed 98ppm above the de-chlorinated tap water ppm this feed) Due to this soil showing a possible calcium deficit, I am starting a 1ml per gallon add-in to test on all plants using this soil, so I added 1.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to each plant's feed then I ph balanced before feeding. The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.3ph. I used knitting needles to help both aerate the soil and create new water pathways for the roots. (a practice I may consider a new feeding standard) After feed, P1 weighed 21lbs 9oz (22lbs 3oz after last feed) and P2 weighed 21lbs 7oz (20lbs 14oz after last feed). I got about 11cups of runoff on P1 (5 cups last feed) and 11 cups on P2 (5 cups last feed). Higher runoff volume was expected with the feed volume increase for flush this round. Runoff for P1 ph was 6.65 with 838ppm (6.45 with 1170ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.60 with 879ppm (6.45 with 1230ppm last feed). Top soil tested at: P1 6.58,6.57,6.58,6.67 for an avg of 6.600 (6.327 avg after last feed) and P2 tested at 6.47,6.61,6.64,6.64 to avg 6.590 (6.402 avg after last feed) - next feed will be 6.0ph as I'm still liking where the ph is, but rather see it closer to 6.3 or 6.4 top and bottom. I dont see any issues with the feed's data other than the possible calcium deficit and I will continue to monitor runoff ppms as I expected this to be higher with more runoff. Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos) Unfortunately they have too much of a toll for me to keep up with with 3 sets of grows going now, so this was the last week I am doing them on this set. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week.

No issues at all. Beautiful greens, pistils are forming, she's being so witchy!!

I put the clones into bigger Pots once their roots were fully established. Immediately started LST and put in the clones at an angle so that light is distributed more evenly. Autos also growing well but Panty Punch is lacking because of crippled leaves. I still let her live to see how she develops. I plan to bend the clones in a circular shape so they grow into an even canopy.

1/18 - 1/24: Getting fatter by the day. They got two feedings this week with cha ching, and I'll start flushing them when then are dry next.
