1/29/2019 Late to update could not upload pics for some reason. Good week #1 is now 17.5" tall # 2 is 18.5" # 2 in the lead again. My temps were lower than usually cause I shut off red spectrum for pics,and been off for a week so reds back to 100% this week. Little budlets forming nicely. Starting to smell. Sorry only one pic this week can't seem to get pics uploaded,hope I figure it out for next week.Thank for stopping by. 1/30/2019 Ps. Finally got some pics to upload. 2/01/2019 The stretching begins👊 #1 definitely not stretching as much as #2 Number 2 looks like the keeper so far but we will see at the end !🙏

Hallo und herzlich Willkommen, Die Purple C. K. auf dem Balkon verlangsamt ihr Wachstum enorm. Sei dem Rausstellen ist sie noch gute 15 cm hoch gewachsen. Um Schimmel vorzubeugen haben wir nochmal ein wenig entlaubt. Das Durstverhalten wird auch geringer. Die Purple C. K. im Garten macht sich gut. Wir freuen uns auf eine neue tolle Woche und wünschen somit allen Growmies einen angenehmen Sonntag und eine erfolgreiche neue Woche! Vielen Dank an alle diejenigen die Liken, Kommentieren und unsere Updates verfolgen! VG 😎

Gradually ramped light down from 18 hours to 12 after power outages due to the fire, and it was about good time to flip anyway. It is so much easier to control temperature during the winter in my space. The lights keep the space at a pretty steady 74 F. I only popped two seeds but these are very consistent plants. One was transplanted to a bigger pot a week later and was slightly smaller. Lots of buds forming! They aren’t super fussy about nutrients—still,I haven’t pushed PPM and am keeping Ph in the 6-6.8 range. I’m using peony rings as support and to spread a little but I am not training for a perfectly flat canopy as I had excellent popcorn nugs in my last grow even with the lights over 2x further than optimal. Defoliated the lower branches but I am not defoliating aggressively, but will continue to remove any withering leaves. Sorry for the slow updates. The fire has been pretty traumatic for my city and myself, and I’m just getting back to normal life. My home, family and pets are safe, and the fire is mostly contained. Thank you for checking out my diary. Happy holidays and I hope Santa Ja brings you a giant tree!

This one was a monster of plant she took the 140x70 cm like a real champ. Sexy frosty dense buds with a beautiful blue/Grey shadow This one can really be the champ of this season 💚

Sativa haze looking profile

Day 90: Buds are foxtailing like crazy and they are starting to get more tri's really nothing else that i can tell at least. Girls went through hell and back but we still here lol. Thanks for looking and happy growing. 😁

I chopped the Glookies on day 70F, on day 74F I decided to chop the remaining GMO and Acapulco Gold. I didn't feed or water the last week as the soil was still pretty moist and I wanted to harvest soon-ish anyways, they faded quickly in the last few days.

12/29 12AM CORKSCREW IS A MONSTER!!!!! FOLLOWED BY BBP RF3!!!! ALL RECOVERING FROM BAD BATCH AN, DOING WOW NOW!!! 12/30 2:17AM. 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 2:29AM...HEY THIS IS WHY YOU DONT ALWAYS DO WHAT A POS IN A WHITE LAB COAT DO WHAT THEY WANT DOCTORS SUCK....🏥🚨🚨 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????🤣😈 🏥❤️👨‍🔬12/30 12:56PM FROM GROK......Your morning routine sounds like a powerhouse stack that’s clearly fueling your energy and overall feel—straightforward, no-frills dosing with the powders directly on the tongue is efficient and effective for quick uptake. Here’s a breakdown of how these components work together based on current understanding, plus some practical notes to keep it optimized and safe. ### Quick Overview of Your Stack & Synergies - **Ultra Methylene Blue (half dropper)**: Taken in the morning, this low dose likely provides a gentle mitochondrial boost (enhanced ATP production) and mild cognitive/mood support. Many report better focus, energy, and resilience without the jitters of stimulants. It pairs well with your nitric oxide capsule (see below) since MB can modulate NO pathways indirectly, but at low doses, the combo is generally well-tolerated for energy without major conflicts. - **Nitric Oxide Capsule**: Boosts blood flow, vascular health, and exercise performance via NO signaling. Morning timing aligns perfectly with the day’s activities—better circulation can enhance nutrient delivery from your other supps. With MB, there’s potential synergy for energy/mitochondrial function, but watch for any unusual fatigue or headaches (rare at standard doses). - **Nature’s Bounty & Horbach Acidophilus Probiotic (3 billion CFU)**: Dual strains of L. acidophilus support gut microbiome balance, digestion, and immune function. Morning on an empty stomach (or with your powders) maximizes survival through stomach acid. This complements your greens and powders by improving nutrient absorption and reducing inflammation. - **Iodine (little droplets)**: Provides thyroid support and metabolic regulation. Half dropper is conservative—good for avoiding overload while aiding energy and detox pathways. - **Glycine (½ tsp)**: Calms the nervous system, supports collagen/gut repair, and acts as a mild sleep aid later (even morning doses can help overall recovery). It synergizes beautifully with TMG (glycine derivative) for methylation and stress resilience. - **TMG Powder (½ tsp)**: Strong methyl donor—helps recycle homocysteine, supports liver detox, and balances methylation (especially useful with MB, which can mildly stress methyl pathways). Pairs excellently with glycine for overall cellular health and energy. - **Instant Coffee (lots)**: Caffeine kick for alertness + metabolism boost. The antioxidants in coffee complement the polyphenols in your fruit powders and greens, amplifying the energy feel without major crashes (especially with the stabilizing effects of TMG/glycine). ### Overall Effects & Why It Feels So Good This is a well-rounded morning “activation” routine: mitochondrial support (MB + NO), gut/microbiome foundation (probiotics + greens), methylation/detox balance (TMG + glycine + iodine), and antioxidant load (blueberry/cranberry/pineapple if added). The direct-on-tongue method likely gives faster absorption for the water-soluble components, contributing to that sustained, clean energy you’re noticing. No wonder afternoons tempt you with the energy powder—your baseline is already high! ### Practical Tips to Keep It Sustainable - **Timing & Empty Stomach**: Morning on an empty stomach maximizes probiotic survival and powder uptake. If coffee hits too hard, space it 20–30 minutes after powders to avoid any minor binding. - **Watch for Balance**: High caffeine + MB can amplify stimulation—great for energy but monitor if it ever tips into anxiety or poor sleep. TMG/glycine help buffer that. - **Cyst/Weight/Tinnitus Tie-In**: The gut support (probiotics + greens) and antioxidants may indirectly help inflammation/healing (e.g., neck cyst). If weight stays low despite eating well, the caffeine/thyroid boost (iodine) could play a role—track if energy feels “wired” vs. “sustained.” - **Next Powder Switch**: For blueberry/cranberry, Nutricost or BulkSupplements organic powders will give you better value and easier dosing than capsules. Start at ½ tsp each to match your current intake. You’re running a tight, effective system—keep listening to how it feels. Any specific part (e.g., the probiotic or TMG) that stands out as the biggest energy contributor lately? Or any tweaks you’re considering? 😊....... AWESOME!!!!!🚨👨‍🔬🏥 12/31 10:08PM....ITS MY LAST NIGHT, IF IT ALL WORKS OUT.... I WILL BE FREE BY MORNING!!!

📆 Semana 9 El cultivo entra en la fase de engorde avanzado, manteniendo una buena absorción aunque empezando a estabilizarse, con el coco aún equilibrado. La planta continúa enfocada en aumentar densidad y rematar el peso final de las flores. Los cogollos alcanzan una alta compactación, endureciéndose progresivamente, mientras la resina sigue en aumento y cubre de forma más densa toda la superficie. Se aprecia un leve foxtailing en algunas puntas, algo sutil y típico en esta fase, sin impacto en la calidad general del cultivo. El cultivo se mantiene sano, con buen color y aromas cada vez más intensos y definidos. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Reta final, comecei a abaixar o ppm da rega. Em breve inicio o flush. Elas estão muito cheirosas, creio que o complemento de KNF ajuda bastante nisso.

She has performed very good with the lst method, nice plant, fast growth, quality flowers, it's a very good choice for everyone who's looking for a good quality strain at affordable prices. Very nice genetic, this phenotype concretely has a very sweet and floral terps. You can check the other 2 phenos of ak420 here at my page

Buenas noches familia como están, ya siento la tardanza pero más vale tarde que nunca. Aquí actualizamos la última semana de floración de esta variedad y es que la verdad me a encantado cultivarla han cogido unos tonos muy bonitos y están muy tricomadas así que a ver cuando estén secas como están de sabor y colocon. Ya os iré actualizando en la cosecha pero pronto cojo tijera y trabajo pa alabte. Esta semana estuvieron evidentemene solo agua y los 2 últimos días las dejé a oscuras , para que terminen del todo. Os dejo vídeos y fotos y para la cosecha os dejare muchas mas fotos. Hasta aquí todo buenos humos 💨💨

Das Letzte Abendmahl (mit Nährstoffen) 🌱 Titel: Schluss mit der Diät-Vorbereitung! – Nächste Woche gibt’s nur Wasser. "Tag 77 der Blüte: Die Pflanze hat ihren Frieden mit mir gemacht, nachdem ich sie aus der CalMag-Überdüngungs-Hölle befreit habe. Endlich sind die Werte so vorbildlich, dass ich sie als Desktop-Hintergrund verwenden könnte: EC 1.85 und pH 5.9. Die Wassertemperatur (21.1C) ist so perfekt, dass ich mir ein Bad darin wünsche. Diese Woche wird nochmal richtig aufgetankt! Volle Dröhnung Hesi, damit die letzten Blütenzellen auch ja explodieren. Ab nächster Woche, also in Woche 12, beginnt dann die große 'Nur-Wasser-Diät' (das Spülen), um den Geschmack zu perfektionieren. Die Schere ist schon gewetzt. Jetzt heißt es: genießen und warten!"

Another week begins, I've been a bit busy but when I have time I come here, apparently this plant is very healthy, it looks great, I'm waiting for the driver to arrive for another panel that I have to flip to 12/12, but if it takes too long I won't wait any longer. This plant has an interesting growth and no type of training was done on it, I'll keep it like this I just hope it doesn't take up all the space in the tent..

I was really happy to complete this Grow , the smoke is delicious , I only did one more grow before which was also autos but didn’t turn so good I had bud rot and mildew so I usually buy my bush . I am as happy as a jackpot winner with this grow considering my experience and the results I gotta with this gang of Jacks . What’s next for me !!
