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 4 wrapped and the tent vibes are good. Maybe not my best genetics, but with what I've learned this past year I'm steering the ship better-best results at this stage so far (still a ways to go before harvest). The left/big lady flashed a bit of N hunger, so I tailored her feed-bumped Grow and overall strength just for her. The rest are cruising; one or two have slightly smaller buds, so I'm nudging their feed to help them catch up. Resin's stacking and the first terps are peeking through. Light: center cola was ~60k lux, so I raised the fixture and dimmed to ~75%-now ~55k in the middle and 45-50k on the edges. Opened a few airflow lanes and set the clip fan to bounce off the wall (not scalp the tops) to keep microclimates from throwing tantrums. Question: with no stress showing, would you keep the center at 60k lux and chase max intensity, or back it off a bit for uniformity like I did? I'll test the top suggestions and share side-by-sides next update. Appreciate you all-growmies rock!

This week marks the true beginning of flowering, as all plants are now showing clearly visible pistils at the nodes and an active, uniform stretch. The transition to 12/12 has been fully assimilated, and the crop is responding with strong, healthy growth. The canopy is very well leveled, with an open structure thanks to the previous LST/SCROG work. Tops are correctly oriented toward the light, showing no signs of stress, and light penetration remains good even in the mid-canopy. From an environmental standpoint, conditions have remained very stable throughout the week: Average temperatures around 24–25 °C Relative humidity between 55–62% VPD consistently in the 1.1–1.3 kPa range This results in optimal transpiration and highly efficient nutrient uptake. Lighting has been progressively adjusted to reach 700–720 µmol/m²/s PPFD, which is ideal for early flowering, with stable ambient CO₂ levels (~700 ppm). No signs of light stress or photoinhibition have been observed. Regarding nutrition, irrigations have been maintained around EC ~1.1–1.2 mS and pH 6.3, combining BioGrow, BioBloom, enzymes, and stimulators. The plants display a healthy green color, with no deficiencies or excesses, and show a very positive response after each feeding. Overall, this has been a key and very well-executed week, laying a strong foundation for the upcoming bulking phase. The crop enters Flowering Week 2 with strength, balance, and excellent yield potential.

So here we are, day 72 september 8th. RIP first grow, I shoulda had a dehumidifier guys.... The 3 other plants are transpiring wayyyy too much and I didn't realize how much of a humidity problem it would cause. Low and behold, it ruined my girl. I believe only the main cola is affected. Can I chop her top off and continue on till the rest of her buds ripen? What can I do ?? Please help I fucked up, this really sucks ass.... EDIT EDIT: ITS NOT ROT YAY! IT'S SPIDER MITES I BELIEVE! I saw a little red bug and i was like OH SHIT. Turns out they can leave little webs in your buds. Any recommendations on how to treat this ? EDIT 9/10: Okay, after not wanting to believe it was mold.... it was mold. lol. I removed the top part of the main cola that was in the early stages of bud rot (botrytis) I have never seen the inside of a developing bud like this. I wasn't really sure exactly what I was looking at lol. So I probably removed more than I had to and some parts probably could have been salvaged but fuck that I just got rid of all of it. Cleaned the tent with lysol disinfecting wipes and got a cheap dehumidifier. I am almost 100 percent sure I am gonna have to buy a 150-200$ dehu in the near future..... i hope not tho. ALSO, changed light schedule back to 20/4. 10 AM off, 2 PM on. Hopefully this will help with some cooler temps during the day. :) and @Philindicus recommended I switch it, I am gonna take his advice this time after he warned me of mold issues xDDD Sept 11th Day 75 - Got a 50 pint GE dehu setup today, big boy moves. Plants are thriving now, 55% RH controlled and ooooo its so nice! Feels good to regain control over the grow again xD. Will post some nice pics tomorrow :) Sept 12th day 76 - sorry no pics again today, just been super busy :p Plants are still thriving, currently 50% rh in the tent and 74.5f degrees :) TEXTBOOK! Catch y'all tomorrow ;)

Veräuft sehr gut, aber mein Problem ist,das ich nicht genau weiß ,welche Blätter besser noch weg können,und welche Sie benötigt.Bei meinen letzten Grows habe ich zuviel abgeschnitten,und die Pflanzen haben es mir nicht gedankt.Jemand einen Tip.Habe dutzende Tutorials geschaut,aber es ist trotzdem schwer. P.S so ein Stretch gibt es gar nicht ca 60cm in 3 Wochen gewachsen,glaubt mir Keiner!!! Habe jetzt ca 30% Blätter abgeschnitten, es werden noch etliche folgen.Am WE wird sie nochmal richtig entlaubt,will sie nicht so stressen!!

Here we are on day 63 and yes we are still in veg mainly because I don't have room to flip her yet, so we wait and continue to train and hopefully we get a decent yield, because pineapple dream sounds like something I want a lot of 😆 ... thank you so much Kannabia Seeds for these genetics so far so good on both plants of theirs so I definitely recommend .. I'd like to add that i'm also using Maxibloom and Silica but grow diaries don't recognize General Hydroponics. I know somebody had mentioned that they changed but I completely forgot what they changed to... So every feeding i'm giving about .35 tsp Silica and half a tsp of Maxibloom..i really appreciate people. Stopping by showing love , or just saying hi you are appreciated.. i hope everyone is doing well.God bless all and happy growing ✌️. p.s i expect her to be in veg for at least another 3 weeks at minimum .
