She’s started to actually grow now not getting stunted by slugs. Put down some organic slug pellets and some copper tape to try keep them off. Just have plenty of plain water this week. Will top her again this week and try get her bushed out. Not had much sun this past week or 2 hoping it comes out these coming weeks before any flowering. Wanting a monster this year. That’s all this week, happy growing 🌱

Week 16 - 06/28 - 07/04 Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED Day Temperature - 78 F Night Temperature - 68 F Humidity - 40 +/-5 D59 Flower - Came home from vacation to some fat sugar coated buds! I flushed them with FloraKleen and molasses, this should be the last one before I snip down the main colas. Since they are close to harvest, I spent about an hour defoliating so harvest will go a little quicker. D60 Flower - So I pulled the ladies out to breathe, take pics, and to do a partial harvest. I cut the main colas off of all the plants and am allowing the lower bud sites to dense up. Until I harvest the lower part, here is the wet weight by plant: RG 1 - 177 g. RG 2 - 214 g. RG Clones - 88

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!!! 1/1/26 Midnight The Stars & You. Happy Shining New Year!! 1/1/2026 Just tried hanging and I just couldn’t do it., so not free by morning. goddmnit!! 1/2/26 1:32 AM all of the Tyson 2.0 plants are doing great. Corkscrew is a monster followed by fast buds banana purple punch RF3. They are all looking great. I switched from advanced nutrients to General hydroponics powder and wow advanced nutrients, I got a bad bad something happened and it literally killed four plants so it’s all going in the garbage.

So where off ! Well these seedlings have got off too a great start , I did not pop the seeds into water for the first 24 hours this time , I just placed into a peat pod and within 3 days they broke the soil , so about the same time too germinate than both methods , I started them off at 200 watts of my 600watt dual spectrum bulb

06.12. Tag 72 Blüte 46. Hi. Niemals aufgeben, dann gibt es sowas. Erstaunlich. 16 h Licht ab jetzt. 09.12. Na gut, ich gebs zu. Ab jetzt macht es Spaß. Denn da hängt doch mehr drann, und in besserer Qualität als ich dachte. Lehrreich war der für mich bisher auf jeden Fall. Ich habe viel zu scharf gedüngt zu anfang. Stellt euch vor, diese weißen Blätter leben noch. Klar wo braun ist nicht. Aber sonst. 11.12. Seht ihre wunderschönen grünen Blätter, eine Pflanze die euch das Wasser im Munde zerfließen lässt. ( Argh ein winziges grünes Blatt. Eines! Ihr dürft gerne selber suchen.) ... ( allerdings, die Riecht guhhht, das ist richtig) Und stark, also stärker als diese Sorte sonst riecht. Ich kenne sie.
