she is still up and kind of in limbo. she is under the big led 800 watt and has been getting blasted with the uvb light for around an hour a day. waiting for the explosion to happen, so has been a week in 12/12 cycle not much stretching yet she is 22 inches. I have been pinching the top Shute so the sides keep up so I will see. other wise healthy grow so far but only time will tell with the final product.

Harvest Part One, Day 93: First harvest of the Main colas, as a lot of the trichomes turned brown. An awful lot of work to trim wet, but wanted to get rid of all the dryed leaves. A comment on another diary said leaves turned yellow because of possible lockout. Well, i cant deny it, but i have no experience at all with it. In hindsight i should have used a lot more fertilizer during the vegi phase, i guess, because this monster turned out to be super hungry (if that makes sense). Density after removing the leaves is ok i think. Expected a bit more to be honest. Massive headbuds still though. However, kinda „raw“ on the inside as you can see by the color and general appearance. So wondering if it was to early still. Alright, half of the plant cut down, and placed in dryferm bags (compare to dryaging but tailored to Cannabis), as i have mentioned before. Still in the process, after like 7 days half of the weight gone already. A Bit more to go i think. I think i will post another update with the bottom part of the plant and for sure one with the finished product. So far very surprising strain in a positive way, still very delicate smell (i get the „doughy“ and in a sense creamy part of dutch Passions Description, its very subtile though and not much else, almost citrusy tea like), great yield, grows somewhat easy but probably isnt easy to maintain and doesnt like errors in handling. All in all im very happy and cant wait to try the First Buds. So far 7.5/10 — very decent. Let‘s see how it performs. Might change the evaluation then. And sorry, might totally be wrong about everything. Let me know your opinion, criticism, etc., please!

Harvest — Creamy Beast Turbo Feminized by Seeds Mafia After 117 days from seed, our Creamy Beast Turbo has finally reached harvest! She’s matured beautifully — dense, resin-coated buds, a rich fruity aroma, and a powerful structure under the SCRoG net. Throughout the grow, we maintained stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temp: 25–26°C 🌙 Night temp: 20–21°C 💧 Humidity: ~45% 💡 Light cycle: 12/12 💨 CO₂ supplementation 🌱 Feeding: Xpert Nutrients all the way We even tried a quick sample — dried in the microwave — and the effect was incredibly strong, possibly one of the most potent strains I’ve ever grown. And that was just a fast-dried tester! Huge thanks to Seeds Mafia for the amazing genetics and to Xpert Nutrients for the high-quality fertilizers. This journey was a pleasure from start to finish — and now we can't wait to enjoy the final results!

Moby1: Seré breve realice LST y su forma de árbol en copa la verdad crece bastante en ramificación estoy pensando en dejar crecer un poco mas las puntas apicales y de ahí sacar los primeros esquejes de la Moby1. Moby2: Sigue a su ritmo crecen sus ramas y su poda FIM continua su proceso me gustaría poder hacer otro trasplante en esta Moby2 quizás recicle un poco y no la pase a una maceta de muchos mas litros esto lo haría para controlar su crecimiento y usarla como madre de otra tanda e esquejes.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. I started my flushing on Sun. Ph adjusted tap water. Our tap water here is between 7 and 7.5 and has to be adjusted If I put 1 drop of ph down per gallon... I get about 5.7 ph. Good to grow with. I'm hoping to start harvest on Aug 11th and that will be 10 weeks in flowering. Just the way I like it. Next flush will be on Thur. We've reached the end of the underground comic... Weirdo #9. Look for more weird comics in my other diaries and I'll continue putting them in my new diaries. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Day 63 Fiona handled the defoliation really well so I LSTd her one (last?) time. I think the intense stretching is over and from now on all that will grow are her many (!) flower sites 🌸 First pistels showing and you can already smell her. Day 66 Fed her 2l with half the recommended dose of nutes. She is so happy with life right now, she started praying 🙏😍 She is not growing in size anymore so the daily LST sessions are over. Day 67 Just when I thought Fiona couldn‘t make me any prouder, I found a calyx that seems to indicate she is going to develop the red/purple optics promised for 60% of the strain‘s plants 🤞

8/18 1:54 AM MONDAY goats are doing great. I took some clones. I think I’ll start some new ones. I’ve harvested all the other ones but I don’t feel like going through that process. 3AM looks good, there is a Bubbles Blueberry F4 that flipped and is ALL seed......the plants sucked but I have thousands of Bubbles seeds now, so thats something. 3:30 AM I found flowers on all of the bubbles blueberry F floor plants. I’ve never had other plants flower that the only ones that did that so I hate them. I will never grow them again.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 605AM. American Journal time on banned dot video...ALSO I MIGHT have pollenated Tyson Gelato 44 with Bubbles Blueberry F4....!!!!!!!!! Should I be happy or angry?????????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!update!!!!!! 8/19.....OH FUCK IT WAS ME....!!! the plants are normal, and fine. Stress Induced self seeding is NORMAL on F4's 845AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨⚡️ Combining Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely result in a strain with a complex and intriguing profile, blending the best characteristics of both parent strains. Here's what you could potentially expect: 1. Appearance Dense, resin-rich buds: Both strains are known for their dense and trichome-laden buds. Expect a cross to inherit this trait, potentially boasting exceptional resin production. Vibrant colors: Bubble's Blueberry F4 often exhibits beautiful blue and purple hues, which may be expressed in the cross, possibly alongside the deep greens and purples found in Gelato 44 phenotypes. 2. Aroma and flavor Sweet and fruity with creamy undertones: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is prized for its sweet, fresh blueberry aroma with hints of vanilla cream and a subtle earthiness. Gelato 44 has a complex terpene profile, often described as combining creamy, fruity aromas with a sweet, gassy smell and hints of vanilla, citrus, and mint. A cross could combine these, leading to a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor with prominent blueberry notes, potentially balanced with the gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint hints of Gelato 44. Diverse terpene profile: Gelato strains are known to contain terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and linalool, which contribute to a woody, peppery, spicy, relaxing, citrusy, and floral aroma. Pinene is the dominant terpene of Gelato 44. Bubble's Blueberry F4 boasts terpenes contributing to its sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and earthy, floral aroma. The cross would likely present a complex blend of these terpenes. 3. Effects Relaxing and euphoric: Both strains tend to offer relaxing and euphoric effects. Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as deeply relaxing, calming, and potentially sleepy, promoting introspection and potentially leading to a nap. Gelato 44 is reported to induce euphoria, relaxation, and happiness. It provides a body-centered high with relaxing effects, balanced with a clear-headed, creative, and euphoric experience. The cross could deliver a combination of these effects, starting with an uplifting euphoria and mental clarity, transitioning into deep physical relaxation without necessarily leading to heavy sedation. Potential for creativity and focus: Gelato 44 is often associated with promoting creativity and focus, while Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as inducing "slightly weird thoughts". The resulting strain might offer a unique blend of these mental effects, fostering creativity and introspection. Medicinal potential: Both strains are reported to help with stress relief, pain management, and mood enhancement. Gelato 44 is also used to help with insomnia. The cross could potentially offer a combined benefit for those seeking relief from these conditions. 4. Growth characteristics Compact and sturdy plants: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as a compact, sturdy plant with dark green, broad leaves and short internodal spacing. Gelato 44 plants grown indoors tend to be bushy and reach moderate heights of up to 120cm. The cross would likely exhibit a similar morphology, being adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments. Moderate flowering time and good yield: Bubble's Blueberry F4 has an indoor flowering time of 55-65 days. Gelato 44 flowers in 8 to 9 weeks. The resulting strain would likely have a moderate flowering time and could be a good yielder, depending on the phenotypes and growing conditions. In conclusion, a cross between Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely be a visually appealing plant with dense, resinous buds that may exhibit blue and purple hues. The aroma and flavor would be a delightful mix of sweet blueberries, vanilla cream, and potentially gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint notes. The effects would likely start with an uplifting euphoria, gradually transitioning into deep physical relaxation, while also promoting creativity and focus without necessarily inducing heavy sedation. This combination could make it a well-balanced strain for both recreational and medicinal use."" 950 MAKING A NEW STRAIN....I PUT THE MALES IN WITH THEM, WHY NOT?? 1145PM....NOTICING: across all plants, even Dark Opal Basil the Amino treatment system is showing little nails at the edges of the leaves. I dont know the name..where the glands are it looks like the leaf becomes sharper, and the glands at the tips of the edges look SHARPER, like growing little fingernails!!! What the hell is that??? ENLARGED GLANDS ON LEAF SURFACE??!! WITH AMINO, WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? I ASKED.....WOW!!!!!!!!! HEY HEY I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY.....YOU'RE WELCOME.🚨 ""Could the system im working on be used to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed in commercial farming. Could it help the world?Thought for 43sPotential for Reducing Nitrogen Fertilizer in Commercial Farming Yes, the system you're working on—a nutrient mix combining base fertilizers like Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Grow with amino acid-based biostimulants (e.g., EAA, proline, L-glutamine, Setria Glutathione, TMG, and L-glycine)—has strong potential to be adapted for reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs in commercial farming beyond cannabis. While your mix is tailored for autoflower cannabis, the core principle of using amino acids and biostimulants to enhance nutrient efficiency is well-supported in broader agriculture. These compounds act as biostimulants that improve plant uptake of N, boost stress tolerance, and promote growth with less inorganic N input, potentially cutting fertilizer use by 20-30% or more while maintaining or increasing yields.""" 🚨🚨🚨⚡️Could It Help the World? Absolutely—reducing N fertilizer globally through systems like yours could have profound positive impacts on the environment, economy, and food security. Nitrogen fertilizers are essential for feeding the world but contribute to pollution, with nearly two-thirds of applied N becoming environmental waste. Optimized biostimulant approaches could cut usage by up to 32% while sustaining crop production, addressing multiple global issues. Environmental Benefits: Less N reduces runoff causing eutrophication (algal blooms killing aquatic life), air pollution (e.g., ammonia emissions), soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion. It also lowers greenhouse gas emissions—fertilizer production and use account for ~2% of global GHGs, exacerbating climate change. Economic and Social Gains: Farmers save on fertilizer costs (a major expense), with co-benefits like higher yields under stress improving food security for billions. Reduced N loss enhances soil health long-term, supporting sustainable farming and human health by minimizing pollution-related diseases. Global Scale: If widely adopted, it could redistribute N more equitably (e.g., from over-fertilized regions like China to under-fertilized Africa), maintaining grain production while cutting pollution. Organizations like FAO emphasize improving NUE to combat climate and biodiversity crises. In summary, your system aligns with emerging biostimulant strategies that could significantly cut N use in farming, offering real-world help by fostering sustainable agriculture and mitigating environmental harm. Scaling it would require field trials, but the potential is promising.""🚨. 8/19 439AM I needed a smoking jacket 60's costume and a mini wagon to fall off of....l..AND I GOT BOTH BABY...IM WEIRD ON A WHOLE NUVA LEVAL 8/19 530AM DID.

This mix is tailored for the flowering stage of autoflowers (likely weeks 4-8), aiming to support bud development, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production (e.g., cannabinoids and terpenes). Below, I evaluate the mix’s efficacy, dosing, and potential impacts based on cannabis research, plant physiology, and grower insights, addressing your goal of reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs and optimizing autoflower performance. #### Components and Their Roles 1. **Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B (1.5 ml/L each, 3 ml/L total)**: - **Purpose**: Designed for the flowering phase, Bloom A & B provide a lower N, higher P-K ratio (e.g., ~2-4-7) compared to Grow A & B, plus secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg) and chelated micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn). At 1.5 ml/L, it’s about 37.5% of the full strength (4 ml/L each), delivering moderate nutrients (EC ~0.8-1.2 mS/cm) suitable for autoflowers in early to mid-flower, minimizing N overload while supporting bud formation. - **Effects**: Promotes dense bud growth, resin production, and flower site development without excessive vegetative growth. The pH Perfect technology stabilizes pH (5.5-6.5), reducing lockout and deficiencies (e.g., Ca/Mg-related spotting). Growers report 10-20% denser buds and improved aroma at this dose in hydro/coco. - **Suitability**: Ideal for autoflowers in flower (weeks 4-6), as it avoids high N that could cause “clawing” (as you previously observed) while providing P-K for bud bulking. 2. **Biostimulant Stack** (per 2 L solution): - **Proline (400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Osmoprotectant; reduces oxidative stress (ROS), enhances drought/salinity tolerance, and stabilizes enzymes. Supports terpene/cannabinoid production by protecting cells during flower stress. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.74 mM) is within the effective range (100-300 mg/L) from plant stress studies. Cannabis trials suggest it mitigates heat/light stress, enhancing resin quality. Good dose for autos in flower. - **Setria L-Glutathione (250 mg, 125 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Antioxidant; scavenges ROS, protects photosynthesis, and detoxifies heavy metals. Enhances yield and bud quality by reducing oxidative damage during flowering. - **Dose Evaluation**: 125 mg/L is safe and effective (100-300 mg/L in plant studies). Aligns with maize trials showing yield protection under stress. Well-suited for autos without risking buildup. - **L-Glycine (500 mg, 250 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Precursor for glutathione and proteins; detoxifies heavy metals, supports root health, and enhances nutrient uptake (e.g., Ca). Reduces toxicity in contaminated soils and boosts flower resilience. - **Dose Evaluation**: 250 mg/L is within the effective range (100-500 mg/L). Higher than your previous mix (100 mg/L), but still safe; supports GSH synthesis and complements glutathione. - **TMG (Trimethylglycine, 400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Methyl donor and osmoprotectant; enhances heat/drought tolerance, membrane stability, and terpene gene expression. Supports bud density and aroma. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.7 mM) matches plant study ranges (200-500 mg/L). Higher than your prior 100 mg/L, enhancing stress protection without osmotic imbalance. #### Combined Effects This mix is well-tailored for autoflower cannabis in the flowering phase, balancing low-N bloom nutrients with biostimulants to maximize bud quality and resilience: - **Bud Development and Yield**: Connoisseur Bloom’s P-K focus drives dense bud formation, while proline, glutathione, and TMG protect against flower-stage stresses (e.g., high light, heat), potentially increasing yield by 15-30% (e.g., 150-300 g/plant in hydro/coco). Glycine enhances nutrient uptake, supporting larger calyxes. - **Terpene and Cannabinoid Quality**: TMG and proline upregulate terpene synthesis (e.g., limonene, myrcene), enhancing aroma and resin. Glutathione reduces oxidative damage, preserving cannabinoid stability (THCA/CBDA). No EAA in this mix avoids N-driven potency reduction. - **Stress Resilience**: Glutathione and proline scavenge ROS, while TMG and glycine bolster osmotic and metal stress tolerance. This is critical for autoflowers, which are prone to stunting in flower under environmental swings. - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glycine and TMG enhance uptake of Connoisseur’s chelated nutrients (e.g., Ca, Mg), reducing N needs by improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This aligns with your goal of reducing N fertilizer in commercial farming. - **Microbial Support**: Glycine fosters beneficial microbes, synergizing with Connoisseur’s organics for root health in coco/soil. #### Dose Evaluation - **Total Biostimulant Load**: 1550 mg in 2 L = 775 mg/L total (200 mg/L proline, 125 mg/L glutathione, 250 mg/L glycine, 200 mg/L TMG). This is within safe limits. 8/22 4:13 AM took a video of both of the Tyson gelato plants and the bubbles plant is in there with them. They all have pollen so I may have crossed pollinate it successfully. I won’t know for a while but everyone’s doing great and remember the two Tyson plants were poorly germinated and grew in one pot and I ripped them in two pieces not thinking they would survive and they both did and they both grow very well considering and they didn’t have any signs of stress. They didn’t grow male flowers. They’ve just been completely strong.👍👍👍👍🥊🥊🥊🥊 8/22 11:20 PM. I dried some Tyson gelato overnight. I grind some up and it has the most amazing smell. I can’t even describe really what it is. I’ve never smelled this in a plant before I didn’t know this was possible and I’m kind of old and beat up, so my smell doesn’t work, but it’s almost like cream of wheat cereal with maple syrup. It’s the craziest thing it’s just absolutely beautiful.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊👍👍👍👍👍

Week 9 is here and we are looking at harvesting! After checking the trichomes of just the top colas, I decided this week I was going to harvest. I am updating this post after I have dried and harvested the plant so do not have much more details. I flushed the plant this week with Flora Kleen along with terpinator and microbes. I cut down the plants and hung them up in the tent to dry using a clothes hanger with clips I got off of Amazon. It took 10 days to dry the bud and my temps and humidity would fluctuate throughout the day and night. I stayed in the mid to low 70s for temperature and humidity was at 50% at first. Then I added a humidifier and had it dry in 60% humidity. Will update the rest in the harvest update.
