11/21/24 Short facts: - Watered: 1 x 1.0L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.75L — 5.75L - VPD @ 1.4 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 80% ~700 to 1050 PPFD - BioBizz Bio-Bloom increased to 3ml/L - BioBizz Bio-Grow increased to 3ml/L - Getting colder! At night between 18 to 19°C --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There isn’t much to report this week. She’s doing fine, but she might need a little more CalMag and nitrogen. So I’m giving her some extra CalMag and a small amount of bonemeal. Since the weather is getting quite cold for the region - and we’ve already had a bit of snow - the cellar where my grow tent is set up is cooling down, with nighttime temperatures dropping to 18–19°C. Therefore, I’ve ordered some heat mats, which should arrive tomorrow. I’m aiming to stabilize the root temperature at around 22°C consistently, so the nights won’t be too cold anymore. I’ll go into more detail in next week’s update.

This girl is beautiful, and she is starting to show some flowers. Her shape is perfect. She will get some bloom nutes tomorrow. I had some bugs munching on the plants so I gave them a good spraying with Neem oil and Potassium soap. I´ll give them another shortly.

There is some yellowing on a couple plants on the leaves right above the base of the plant. I broke a branch in lady 1 , Alil yellowing on the a couple plants from the soil being Alil to hot. But the rest of them are perfect . Only issue with 2 of them and it’s my fault. These ladies have been rocking strong. Update soon. Peace out

Arrancamos la 4ª semana de floración y venimos de hacer los 3 últimos riegos suaves con baja ec por que veo varias muy verdes, un color muy oscuro creo que algo pasadas. Esta semana ya seguimos con las dosis normales, además añadiremos por ultima vez unas micorrizas para mejorar el sustrato. Ya he puesto las luces UV para emular al máximo la luz del sol y que la planta se sienta bien arropada.

Water, water every where and all the boards did shrink. 2 gallons on each 5 gallon fabric pot of 5.9 PH rain water is all they have had for the last 5 days. I think they is lots of food left in the Coco and from what I have been told about Autos they are not heavy feeders. I am a little baffled by the Think Different, why is it not branching out? It looks like one big cola and it has not got any taller. I defoliated the bottom 1/4 of the 4 that are growing just to get some of the bottom leaves out of the wet coco. Also to improved air flow Temps and RH have been with in range 78F-88F RH 40%-70% even with the rain and cold. The Blue dream I'm gonna give another 4 weeks if I don't see any improvement I will pull the plug. gonna give one more flowering feeding in a few days as soon as the pots dry out. that should last them till harvest time and Ill flush 2 weeks out from harvest with Green Buzz Clean Fruits. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and have a safe new year.

Day 43 this orange is running absolutely faster than the last I did. Every day flowers are getting bigggers and resin is awful to be at 42 days. I’m really loving aptus product, but I really can’t ell what’s is pushing her so fast. Behind, in the video, you can see another auto is a strawberry banana and germinated with just 24 h difference but is starting just now to get into flowering, same soil ‘, same feeding.. incredible Let’s see what s happen

9/18: New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots 9/19: Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray 9/20: Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth on both, but the small one seems more than just a couple of days behind. 9/21: Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video. Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0... 9/22: Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12. Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity. I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two. 9/23: The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!

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....

Hi everyone :) girls are in 52nd day today. They showed some more cal&mag deficiency on the leafs last week but ph is fine, just over 6.5. I check it every day with apera ph meter. Every day looks bigger so that’s good sign too :) good experience on the beginning my adventure to look after ph :) every second day when I’m watering I’m cut a handful of leaves. It’s so tightly that’s why but I’m trying to be gently how it’s possible :) I made usefull all space But I can see with bigger tent I could take some more from baby’s :) but that waste goal 😝 screen of the green :) take care guys, will back soon with another update! Peace ✌️

Olá growmies. Esta gorilla está a demorar muito mais tempo comparando com o meu primeiro grow. Penso que o problema tenha sido as doses baixas de nitrogenio que dei durante a floração e as temperaturas no máximo chegaram aos 23 graus.. no próximo correrá melhor. Vivendo e aprendendo 👍 15 janeiro: continuação do flush - regada só com água, 2l. Vou esperar mais uma semana no máximo para cortar. Na esperança que alguns tricomas comecem a ficar âmbares. 18 Janeiro - harvest day! Ja está a secar! Atualização em breve!
