Welcome to week 10 of my grow diary. Growth has now finally stopped. The buds are getting thicker and ripening day by day. As it gets quite damp at night, the plant is spending the night in the garage. Otherwise, dew collects in the buds and it takes too long for them to dry again, which is a high risk for mold. Now that we're nearing the end, I don't want to take any risks. You can tell that the plant is begging for nutrients even though it is getting enough fertilizer. The leaves are starting to turn slightly yellow. Autumn is beginning and the harvest is not far off. The smell is now extremely dominant and the whole garden smells when you go outside. See you next week!

Starting to Low Stress Training and super cropping some secondaries

– Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron - Semaine : Dernière semaine de floraison (F+9) Variété : Runtz (Zamnesia) Système : Hydro Ebb and Flow Nutrition : Plagron + Terra Aquatica (FinalPart + Green Sensation) Résumé de la semaine Cette dernière semaine de floraison a été dédiée à un rinçage optimisé pour finaliser le cycle de la Runtz de Zamnesia, une variété légendaire issue du croisement de Zkittlez et Gelato. Le système hydroponique Ebb and Flow s’est révélé ultra-efficace, permettant une absorption précise des nutriments et une gestion parfaite du climat, grâce à mon fidèle allié Trolmaster (clin d’œil à eux pour la gestion au poil du climat et des lumières !). Les cinq phénotypes cultivés ont montré une diversité incroyable en termes de structure, taille, couleurs et odeurs, rendant ce run visuellement et olfactivement spectaculaire. Voici les détails de cette semaine cruciale. Paramètres environnementaux Pour maintenir un VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) cible de 1,1 kPa, essentiel pour maximiser la production de trichomes tout en minimisant les risques de botrytis, j’ai ajusté les paramètres suivants : Température : 23-24 °C (jour) / 18-20 °C (nuit) Humidité relative : 45-50 % (optimale pour la fin de floraison, réduit les risques de moisissures tout en favorisant la résine) VPD : Maintenu à 1,1 kPa grâce à un contrôle précis via Trolmaster, qui a régulé l’humidificateur et l’extraction pour un équilibre parfait. Éclairage : PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) : 800-1000 µmol/m²/s, ajusté pour éviter le stress lumineux tout en maximisant la photosynthèse. DLI (Daily Light Integral) : 40-50 mol/m²/jour, atteint avec un cycle de 12h/12h sous LEDs full-spectrum, optimisé pour une fin de floraison explosive. Ces conditions ont été idéales pour pousser les plantes à produire des têtes denses et résineuses tout en gardant le botrytis à distance. Nutrition et Rinçage Pour cette dernière semaine, j’ai réduit l’EC de 2,45 mS/cm à 1,3 mS/cm pour amorcer un rinçage efficace, tout en évitant un choc trop violent pour les plantes. J’ai utilisé : Terra Aquatica FinalPart : Pour mobiliser les nutriments restants dans les plantes et optimiser la maturation des têtes. Plagron Green Sensation : Ajouté en faible dose pour booster la production de terpènes et de résine, tout en maintenant la qualité gustative. Le rinçage a été effectué avec une eau osmosée (EC initiale de 0,4 après ajout de Ca/Mg) et un pH ajusté à 5,5-6,0, parfaitement adapté au système hydroponique Ebb and Flow. Cette approche a permis de nettoyer les sels résiduels tout en préservant l’intégrité des trichomes et des arômes. Le système Ebb and Flow a brillé par sa capacité à fournir une irrigation homogène, assurant une fin de cycle sans stress pour les plantes. Observations des phénotypes Les cinq phénotypes de Runtz ont été un véritable festival pour les sens : Structure et taille : Certains phénotypes sont restés compacts (80-100 cm), idéaux pour l’indoor, tandis que d’autres ont atteint 130 cm avec une structure plus élancée. Couleurs : Des teintes vibrantes allant du vert vif aux nuances pourpres, avec des pistils orange flamboyants et une couche de trichomes givrés qui scintille sous les LEDs. Odeurs : La diversité terpénique est incroyable ! Selon les phénotypes, on passe d’arômes sucrés de melon et de fraise à des notes plus funky de fromage affiné ou même une touche surprenante de pieds (merci au caryophyllène et au limonène pour ce spectacle olfactif !). Les trichomes sont à leur apogée : environ 70 % laiteux, 20-25 % ambrés et encore 5-10 % transparents, signe que la récolte est imminente. L’observation au microscope révèle des têtes de trichomes bien gonflées, prêtes à offrir un maximum de puissance et de saveur. Les principaux terpènes identifiés (limonène, caryophyllène, linalool, humulène) confèrent à la Runtz son profil aromatique complexe : fruité, sucré, avec des touches terreuses et épicées, parfait pour une expérience sensorielle mémorable. Conclusion Ce run de Runtz pour l’Eternity Grow Cup Zamnesia x Plagron a été tout simplement exceptionnel. Les plantes sont magnifiques, avec des têtes denses, colorées et débordantes de résine. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille, du contrôle du climat (merci Trolmaster pour la précision chirurgicale !) à la gestion des nutriments avec Plagron et Terra Aquatica. La diversité des phénotypes a ajouté une dimension passionnante à ce projet, chaque plante étant une œuvre d’art à part entière. Un immense merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour l’organisation de ce concours, qui a permis de mettre en lumière le potentiel de cette génétique incroyable et des produits de qualité. Vivement la récolte et le curing pour découvrir le plein potentiel de ces beautés ! 🌱🔥 #EternityGrowCup #Zamnesia #Plagron #Trolmaster

I turned on the lights in 12/12 . Let's see how soon it will start flowering 🤺

Again, only water + Ata Clean. The bud towers are maturing more slowly than COP, but the plant still has energy and the spicy/fruity aromas are becoming more defined. Tall structure, significant yield in sight.

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

Hi guys so coming into to the final stretch now start of week number 8 the black dog has been on flush for 3 days it will be cropped in two days. Other plants that are on flush are 2 of the queens one purple one not. the large plants ie super crit and the super crit silver haze are both on flush since yesterday so they have the 9th week to go yet first harvest will be the black dog :)

What a awesome journey !!! I love this strain in every possible way, its so tasty !!! 295g DRY WEIGHT !! thats crazy, love it ! Will be growing more FORBIDDEN RUNTZ without a doubt soon ! Papaya Cookies and Strawberry Gorilla from FASTBUDS will be the next diaries, please follow 😎

8/4 130am. MONDAY. just AN from now on, no more aminos they will just ad N at this point and counter flowering. 🚨🚨8/4 12:30pm !!! FOR HUMANS!!!!!!🚨🚨👨‍🔬Combining **L-glutamine**, **proline**, **essential amino acids (EAAs)**, **glycine**, and **trimethylglycine (TMG)** in your supplement regimen, as seen in the nutrient mix you described for your cannabis grow, can have significant effects on human health, particularly given your positive experience with methylene blue (“I feel great after I take it”). Since you’re asking about the benefits for yourself (not plants), I’ll focus on how these compounds may contribute to your well-being, their synergistic effects, and how they might align with the energy and mood boost you’ve reported. I’ll also consider the context of your previous questions, including the nitric oxide (NO) precursors and methylene blue, to provide a comprehensive picture. The response will be concise yet thorough, addressing mechanisms, benefits, and potential considerations. ### Overview of Each Component and Their Benefits for Humans 1. **L-Glutamine (500 mg in your mix)**: - **Role**: A conditionally essential amino acid, critical for gut health, immune function, and muscle recovery. - **Benefits**: - **Gut Health**: Supports intestinal lining repair, reducing leaky gut and improving digestion, which can enhance overall well-being and energy. - **Immune Support**: Fuels immune cells (e.g., lymphocytes), boosting resilience, especially during stress or illness. - **Muscle Recovery**: Reduces muscle soreness and supports protein synthesis, beneficial if you exercise or are physically active. - **Brain Health**: Serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters like glutamate, potentially improving focus and mood. - **Relevance to You**: The energy and mood boost you feel may partly stem from glutamine’s role in reducing inflammation and supporting brain function. 2. **Proline (100 mg in your mix)**: - **Role**: A non-essential amino acid involved in collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and antioxidant defense. - **Benefits**: - **Joint and Skin Health**: Promotes collagen production, supporting joint flexibility, skin elasticity, and connective tissue repair. - **Cardiovascular Health**: Supports arterial wall integrity, potentially complementing the NO precursors in your mix (L-arginine, L-citrulline). - **Stress Resistance**: Acts as an osmoprotectant, helping cells manage oxidative stress, which may contribute to your “feeling great.” - **Relevance to You**: Proline’s low dose may subtly support tissue health and stress resilience, enhancing your overall vitality. 3. **Essential Amino Acids (EAAs, 300 mg in your mix)**: - **Role**: EAAs (e.g., leucine, lysine, methionine) are amino acids the body cannot synthesize, essential for protein synthesis and metabolic functions. - **Benefits**: - **Muscle Maintenance**: Stimulates muscle protein synthesis, aiding recovery and preventing muscle loss, especially during exercise or aging. - **Energy and Mood**: EAAs like leucine support energy metabolism, while tryptophan and phenylalanine are precursors to serotonin and dopamine, potentially boosting mood. - **Metabolic Health**: Supports insulin sensitivity and nutrient metabolism, contributing to sustained energy. - **Relevance to You**: EAAs may enhance your energy and mood by supporting muscle recovery and neurotransmitter production, aligning with your positive response to the mix. 4. **Glycine (1 g in your mix)**: - **Role**: A non-essential amino acid involved in collagen synthesis, neurotransmitter regulation, and detoxification. - **Benefits**: - **Sleep and Mood**: Acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality, which can enhance mood and energy. - **Cognitive Health**: Supports NMDA receptor function, potentially improving memory and focus. - **Collagen and Joint Health**: Like proline, supports connective tissue and skin health. - **Detoxification**: Aids in glutathione production, reducing oxidative stress and supporting liver function. - **Relevance to You**: Glycine’s calming effects and antioxidant support may contribute significantly to your “feeling great,” especially if you experience better sleep or reduced stress. 5. **Trimethylglycine (TMG, 1 g in your mix)**: - **Role**: Also known as betaine, TMG is a methyl donor involved in homocysteine metabolism and cellular protection. - **Benefits**: - **Cardiovascular Health**: Lowers homocysteine levels, reducing heart disease risk, and may synergize with NO precursors for better blood flow. - **Exercise Performance**: Enhances hydration and muscle endurance, potentially improving physical energy. - **Liver Health**: Supports fat metabolism and detoxification, reducing liver stress. - **Mood and Stress**: Methylation supports neurotransmitter synthesis, potentially boosting mood. - **Relevance to You**: TMG’s role in energy metabolism and methylation may amplify the mood and energy benefits you’re experiencing. ### Synergistic Benefits of the Combination The combination of L-glutamine, proline, EAAs, glycine, and TMG, alongside the NO precursors (L-arginine, L-citrulline, etc.) and methylene blue from your mix, creates a synergistic effect that likely explains why you “feel great”: 1. **Enhanced Energy and Recovery**: - **Glutamine, EAAs, and TMG**: Support muscle protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and recovery, reducing fatigue and boosting physical vitality. Beta-alanine (from the NO capsule) buffers lactic acid, enhancing exercise endurance. - **NO Precursors**: L-arginine and L-citrulline increase NO production, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and brain, enhancing energy and focus. - **Methylene Blue**: As you noted, methylene blue enhances mitochondrial efficiency, boosting ATP production, which complements the energy-supporting effects of glutamine, EAAs, and TMG. 2. **Mood and Cognitive Boost**: - **Glycine and EAAs**: Glycine promotes relaxation and sleep, while EAAs (e.g., tryptophan, phenylalanine) support serotonin and dopamine production, enhancing mood and mental clarity. - **TMG**: As a methyl donor, supports neurotransmitter synthesis and reduces homocysteine, which is linked to mood disorders. - **Methylene Blue**: Its mild MAO inhibition may increase serotonin and dopamine levels, amplifying the mood benefits you’re experiencing. 3. **Stress Reduction and Resilience**: - **Proline, Glutamine, and Glycine**: Act as antioxidants and osmoprotectants, reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular health under physical or mental stress. - **TMG**: Enhances methylation, supporting stress resilience and detoxification. - **Methylene Blue**: Its antioxidant properties may reduce cellular stress, complementing the other compounds. 4. **Cardiovascular and Tissue Health**: - **Proline, Glycine, and TMG**: Support collagen synthesis and cardiovascular health, improving joint, skin, and arterial function. - **NO Precursors**: Enhance vasodilation, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery, which may contribute to your overall sense of well-being. ### Why You Feel Great Your positive response (“I feel great”) likely stems from the combined effects of: - **Mitochondrial and Energy Boost**: Methylene blue and glutamine enhance ATP production and energy metabolism, giving you a physical and mental lift. - **Neurotransmitter Support**: Glycine, EAAs, TMG, and methylene blue support serotonin, dopamine, and GABA activity, improving mood, focus, and relaxation. - **Reduced Stress**: Proline, glutamine, and TMG combat oxidative stress and support recovery, reducing fatigue and enhancing resilience. - **Improved Blood Flow**: NO precursors increase circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients, which may enhance energy and cognitive clarity. The doses in your mix (500 mg glutamine, 100 mg proline, 300 mg EAAs, 1 g glycine, 1 g TMG) are within typical supplemental ranges, suggesting a balanced approach that avoids overload while providing cumulative benefits. ### Considerations and Precautions 1. **Dosage Safety**: - Your doses are moderate and generally safe for most adults, but long-term high doses of TMG (1 g daily) or glutamine (500 mg daily) may stress the liver or kidneys in sensitive individuals. Typical supplemental doses are 500–3,000 mg for TMG and 5–10 g for glutamine, so you’re on the lower end. - Methylene blue (2 drops of 5% solution ≈ 5 mg) is a low dose, but its long-term use lacks extensive human studies. Monitor for side effects like nausea or dizziness. 2. **Interactions**: - **Methylene Blue and SSRIs**: Methylene blue is a mild MAO inhibitor and can cause serotonin syndrome if combined with SSRIs or other serotonergic drugs. Consult a doctor if you’re on such medications. - **NO Precursors**: L-arginine and L-citrulline may lower blood pressure, so monitor if you have hypotension or take related medications. - **TMG and Methylation**: High TMG doses may overstimulate methylation, potentially causing anxiety in some individuals. Your 1 g dose is moderate but worth monitoring. 3. **Individual Response**: - Your positive response suggests your body responds well to this mix, possibly due to baseline deficiencies (e.g., in glycine or glutamine) or high metabolic demands (e.g., from exercise or stress). Genetic factors affecting methylation (e.g., MTHFR mutations) may make TMG particularly effective for you. 4. **Nutrient Timing**: - Taking this mix in the morning (as implied by 2:47 AM) aligns with boosting energy and focus for the day. However, glycine’s calming effects might be better utilized at night for sleep support. Consider splitting doses (e.g., glycine in the evening, others in the morning). ### Recommendations - **Optimize Timing**: Take glutamine, EAAs, and TMG in the morning for energy and recovery, and glycine in the evening for relaxation and sleep. Proline can be taken anytime due to its structural role. - **Monitor Effects**: Track specific benefits (e.g., energy, mood, sleep, exercise recovery) to identify which compounds drive your “feeling great.” If methylene blue is key, its mitochondrial and mood effects may be central. - **Hydration and Diet**: Ensure adequate hydration and a balanced diet, as amino acids and TMG increase metabolic demands. Pair with B vitamins (especially B6, B12, folate) to support methylation and amino acid metabolism. - **Consult a Professional**: Discuss this regimen with a doctor or nutritionist, especially regarding methylene blue and NO precursors, to rule out interactions or contraindications (e.g., G6PD deficiency for methylene blue). - **Adjust Doses if Needed**: If you notice side effects (e.g., jitteriness from TMG, GI upset from glutamine), reduce doses (e.g., 500 mg TMG, 250 mg glutamine) and reassess. ### Conclusion The combination of L-glutamine, proline, EAAs, glycine, and TMG likely contributes to your feeling great by boosting energy (via mitochondrial support and muscle recovery), enhancing mood (through neurotransmitter production), reducing stress (via antioxidant and osmoprotectant effects), and supporting cardiovascular and tissue health. Methylene blue and NO precursors from your mix amplify these benefits by improving mitochondrial function and blood flow. Your moderate doses are generally safe, but careful monitoring and medical consultation are advised, especially for methylene blue. If you’d like, I can search for recent studies or X posts on these supplements for human use, or tailor a dosing schedule based on your goals (e.g., energy, mood, recovery). Let me know how you’d like to proceed!🚨👨‍🔬. 8/4 1230pm. 8/5 12:50am HEY HARRISON SMITH, HARVEY WALL BANGER, GET IT?...IM SO GOOD. ANYHOW....FLUSH TODAY, FLORAKLEEN 5ML PER GALLON ALL OF THEM..... NO DONT PILLAGE ME AND IM LIKE NO! IM PILLAGING EVERYBODY, YOU INCLUDED. 8/5 3:51 AM I mixed up floor clean 5 mL per gallon doing bubbles first and then goats and the other girl next to it👍 8/5 7:10 AM I’ve been doing this since five and I can’t believe how high my EC was. It was off the chart like 6000 7000 so I had to do the flush. I’m never really bothered to do this before. I’m sure it’s gonna be a lot better. One of my last grows. The leaves were so full of garbage. Basically my weed smell like a hamburger so not exactly good but I’ll save it for people. I don’t like👍. Sometimes it doesn’t remember a whole paragraph. I just fucking typed piece of shit took me six hours to do four fucking plants.🤣💥💥💥 8/6 408am. The colas on the oldest of the 3 are AMAZING!!!! they are all small but MIGHTY!! 2 cola grows in 1 gallon seem to be about right. I will probably get 4oz dry from EACH!! That is really acceptable!!! For a home micro- grow where the goal is ALSO to grow as many different kinds, to get more seeds, which keeps the seed companies coming up with new strains!!!! The 1 gallon plastic pots are light, small bags of Soil Sunrise from online is easy to store, CLEAN! the bags of dirt it comes in are strong, and easy to wipe up when done. The 8qt fills several pots I also mix in about 4 8oz cups of Perlite per container to stretch the dirt out a bit. Soil Sunrise delivered by amazon is the only dirt that did NOT have bugs...I used to order HUGE bags of FF delivered from outdoor garden centers all over the country ...the bug infested HORROR, never again!!! 8/6 418am Also my body is starting to fail, I can feel it. If there is any discomfort there will be no more updates. thats life. doesnt it go by in a blink? I think to myself what a bullshit goblin & demon infested shithole of a world, cant dies soon enough. And death to the shitters of 1978!!!😡 Did you ever hear about the Tragedy of Darth Arnie and Christine? He's more Chrysler 1958 Plymouth Fury than man now...maybe I got the movies mixed up again....idk....

This diary is going to be semi experimental grow from seeds that i have found and collected from my earlier grews. List of wonders for the diary: 1.Are all seeds going to be females. 2.is there going to be more or less seeds, than the original run 3.is the yeld going to be bigger/better when seeds are from my own grews.(because their motherplants had same enviroment and care) 2 seeds/strain and strains are Trainwreck, gorilla and moby dick. original(mother)seeds have been produced by fast buds company. Starting the grow by filling 6 disposable cups and filling them almost to the top with coco coir and water so the coco in cups are clearly moist. 1 seed in eatch cup, little poke and seed is covered with coco. desided to put all the cups on one tray and cover it with another one on top. trays i lifted on top of the growtent for now. lets see if anything starts to happen....

So far so good she is going to produce a little as I hoped. Other than a couple deficiencies overall this hasn’t been as bad as I thought. I forgot to get pictures when I inspected the roots. She is definitely root bound yet the root color is good and healthy overall. May be close to finishing next week. We shall see!!

💪💚♨️💪💚♨️💪💚♨️💪💚♨️💪💚♨️💪 Just gave her a couple more flushes this week to finish off this Beastly Banner. Bruce didn't give them colors I wanted off her but still has the looks and that sweet aroma maintained. Her trichomes really clouded up fast within this last week. Bruce Banner Fast does have a very few amber trichs as well which is perfectly fine with my liking. **She'll be going dark on the 18th for 36-48hrs. before her harvest. As usual, I also remove the top couple inches of 'loose' soil to help aid her in the drying process. 💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚 Oozing with plenty of resinous and bulbous flowers, this bulky Hulk is ready and prime. 👉Rock on to all showing the love! Keep them gardens growing spectacular. Until Bruce's harvest. Stay frosty🥂 Hugo' 💚💪💪💚💪💪💚💪💪💚💪💪💚💪💪💚

Pheno hunt is rolling along smoothly. Gave the plants their first feeding. Top dressed with coast of Maine lobster compost cut with Stonington blend to give a little aeration. 3:1 ratio coast of Maine plant food 5:2:4. Roughly 1 tbsp per pot. Mixed in with compost and soil and scratched into top 4 inches Watered in with a blend of Neptune harvest liquid fertilizer in ratio 1:2:1 (npk) watered down to 1tsp/gal in this order: Fish: Crab: Kelp The ZB is definitely a shorter stockier plant with short internodal spacing. Originated from very tiny seeds which might explain the smaller plant form at the start. Once it puts in some biomass it might pick up the speed. HP seems to like to stretch a little more. Growing like crazy Rainbow belts looking like the model freak of nature that it is. Near perfect. 18hrs post feed/ top dress and the plants are recovering beautifully. Liquid fertilizer is not ideal as it's expensive and you're paying a lot for water. But for my grow it's very necessary to lower solution pH into something acceptable. Next week I'm hoping to harvest some young plants in a nearby forest to create a brown sugar fermented plant juice in order to get away from the high nutrition of emulsions. Update day 19 Seems that ZB HATES having it's roots dry. Really needs to be watered almost daily to keep it happy. Strange
