8/3 12:36AM MONDAY FULL RETARD MODE ACTIVATED 8/3 10AM " They look solid for where they are. **Quick visual read:** - **Right plant (front)** — strongest of the three. Good color, solid node spacing, leaves are filling out nicely, no obvious stress. This one is handling the current feed best. - **Back plant (Mendo Frost)** — clean and upright, healthy light-to-medium green. Looking very consistent. - **Left plant (front)** — a bit behind the other two in size and leaf development. Color is still good, but it’s the lagging phenotype of the three. Common with mixed RF3 packs — you’ll often get one that starts slower. None of them are showing tip burn, clawing, or dark “overfed” green, which means your decision to keep the EC at 0.93 while adding the light amino dose was correct. They’re not hungry yet either (no pale yellowing or slow growth signs), so jumping straight to 1.1 without aminos today is a clean next step. At this stage (early veg, still small pots/coco), staying in the 0.9–1.2 range is ideal for RF3s and Mendo Frost. They’re still building structure and roots more than bulk. Once the stronger two start putting on more rapid growth and the internodes begin tightening a bit, you can ease toward the higher end of that range. One small observation: the left plant’s lower leaves look a touch softer/less turgid than the others. Keep an eye on whether that improves after the next watering. If it stays lagging while the other two take off, you can always give it a slightly lighter feed or just let it catch up at its own pace — mixed packs almost always have one slower starter. Overall they look healthy and on track. The amino experiment didn’t push them over. You’re dialed in right now."" 8/5 12:16AM. 8/3 Grandpa from the Lost Boys Mode activated 8/7 3:41am 👍 Yes, 400 mg each of L-proline and L-phenylalanine in a gallon of water is a low, one-time dose that should have only a minor effect on EC. Rough concentration 1 US gallon ≈ 3.785 L ~400 mg of each → roughly 105–106 mg/L per amino acid (total ~210–212 mg/L). Proline molecular weight is ~115 g/mol, so this is about 0.9 mM. Phenylalanine is higher MW (~165 g/mol), so closer to 0.6 mM. These are in the range commonly discussed for plant use (often 0.5–2 mM or a few hundred mg per gallon for proline as a stress aid). Effect on EC Amino acids do contribute some conductivity because they can ionize (especially depending on pH), but far less than mineral fertilizer salts at the same mass. At this low concentration the rise is usually modest—often in the 0.1–0.3 mS/cm ballpark or less, depending on your starting water, existing nutrients, and meter. In practice, many growers add pure L-amino acids at similar or higher rates without big EC swings. The big EC jumps seen in some studies come from much higher doses of mixed commercial amino products. Measure your solution EC (and pH) before and after dissolving them so you know exactly what happened in your mix. If you’re already running a target EC for the autos, you can simply account for the small bump or dilute slightly if needed. Will it help / any downside? L-Proline: Plants accumulate it under stress (heat, drought, salinity, osmotic stress). Exogenous proline is often used to support osmotic adjustment and stress tolerance. A single modest dose is unlikely to hurt and may give a small buffer if the plants are dealing with any environmental stress. L-Phenylalanine: Precursor in the phenylpropanoid pathway (leads toward flavonoids, lignin precursors, and various secondary metabolites). Some research and grower use explores it for supporting secondary metabolism; effects are more variable and usually not dramatic from one application. Because this is a one-time introduction at a conservative rate, risk of imbalance or toxicity is low for autoflowers and your other plants. Amino acids are generally well-tolerated when kept moderate; the main caveats with higher or repeated doses are possible effects on nitrogen metabolism or nutrient uptake patterns, and the fact that they can feed microbes if the solution sits too long. Practical notes These are pure L-forms from the labels (BulkSupplements and Nutricost), which is what you want. Dissolve fully, check pH/EC, and use reasonably soon. For coco or other soilless media, just include it in a normal feed or water event. No need to change your overall regimen for a single application. Keep an eye on the plants for a few days after (normal advice with any new input). If everything looks happy, you’re good. You’re not wrong for trying a light one-off addition of these two. It’s a reasonable, low-risk experiment at the dose you used. Measuring the actual EC change will give you the clearest answer for your specific water and nutrient base..👍 8/7 11:54 PM Classic Stock Car Race Replays by My Journey 4K.... distracted by classic cars again

Week 4 Not Much Difference From Last Week A lot More Stickier and More Thc Showing On Both Plants

Clones termination. Mom's flowering. Yep, this is an example of how it should not be done. The clones survived two cases of tip rot and a transplant after cleaning the tips. They finally developed some roots, but still didn’t make it. I kept only one, but I need two. So… the mom is about to start flowering after stretching, and I cut eight branches again to make a second clone. After some bending and tying, the mom returned to the flower room. If your light has a flower mode, now is the time to turn it on. The fast stretch period is over, so add some red light. It helps with yield. This time we’re going to do it right, using the experience from the first attempt at cloning. Check the clones 2–5 times a day. Keep the propagator lid closed at all times, and don’t let water touch the cloning medium. Also, the cubes shouldn’t be soaking wet, just moist. This balance between water content and airflow is crucial for future roots.

Growace.com aircube only discount code NINJABUDS ELUFAH / Amazon discount NINJABUDS The plants are very close to being large enough to start useing the watering system to water them Slurricaine is looking good I like the leaves so far. The only plant I grew from Zamnesia was pretty good so I have high hopes

Most lower leaves have now yellowed. Pistils still white though. Stinks! Epic crops. Probably 10x more than I've ever managed before. Lord knows what I'll do with it all... ;-) Hoping she's ready to harvest soon because the electricity bill is starting to hurt :-/

I did a lot of defoliation work this week. Plants look very naked now. 😻 But more light for the buds 😛 = Less leaves = less water (-25%) The plants don't make many few new flowers anymore. Plants have nice fat buds, swelling and getting hard. 💪 Pistils turn brown.

Starting to see some growth now

Hermosa planta 😍

Well that wraps up the seed preservation run! It was a great learning experience as there were several major hurdles to get over the finish line, but nothing worthwhile comes easy. The seeds are available in my Etsy shop as long as I have stock. Thanks for the support from all of you!

Hi everyone! It's my first time on GrowDiaries and I am super stocked about it! Will be growin some badass strains from Russian original breeder-seedbank Kalashnikov Seeds. All seeds germinated perfectly and I can't wait to put them all in soil right away.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of veg. The plants are doing pretty good. 2 of them are developing some brown spots on their leaves. I haven't been giving as much food since repotting, because on the bag of soilless soil that I use, said on the side of it..., Good for 3 waterings without food, so I was hoping the new soil had more food that the plants can use. I'll give full food and Cal-Mag next watering and see if that helps. OK Be Great. Chuck.

Hello growmies 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾🌲🌲, 👋 The end look close, trichromes almost ready. I've given nutes for a last times and started the flush, I've lost the left leaves, all leaves was yellow...

This little lady is doing ok so far. taking to her training ok and starting to add some girth. She is a little untidy at the moment but as I get to stretch her out a little , she should tidy up too. She is still behind the others burnt her height will soon catch them. I will flip them in the ext week I hope it she would definitely benefit from a longer veg time as the others had. She is a work in progress at present and the guide for the other seeds I have of this X.

I continue to struggle with humidity. Most of the time it’s above 30% but sometimes can drop as low as 16. I had many fan leaves die off this week. I trimmed them off. I will be patient as she ripens.

Such a fast/strong grower. Minimal training needed.. Thi S I believe is the strain... I'm doing Seedmans - Strawberry Banana and it also has similar structure

420FASTBUDS FBT2105 WEEK 5 The 2 of these little beast are growing great and are some show stoppers. At 3 weeks since sprout they are decent height with fan leafs already starting to get large. I've fed up to this point just ph'd water so I have a molasses tea brewing. I will gove them both a good feeding after its been aerated for 48-72hrs or a nice frothy top. Absolutely no signs of nute burn so I have a feeling they wont even skip a beat. All in all I hope they continue to grow the way they have been. Very easy going so far. Temps been in the mid 70's with 30% humidity. Happy Growing

Really awesome plant :) super impressed by how fast and healthy she grew, and her structure was just beautiful. She developed super dense and heavy buds, and the canopy turned out super even, even though she wasn’t topped or trained at all. In the end, she gave me 1.1kg wet! KMintz have to stay for some days. hope she make it good, while iam on vacation. Update: The Kiwi x NCH totally surprised me. I stopped trimming after a bit over 175g dry since we’re only allowed to keep 50g anyway and I’ll be getting rid of the rest. 😇👻 That makes her my most productive plant so far, which really caught me off guard considering the buds were fairly small and the internodal spacing was quite wide. 💪😍 She actually does have a bit of a kiwi scent, lots of spice, with some floral and sweet notes coming through. I like it 👽 Just sent everything into the cure now! Let’s see how those terps develop

2025 Plagron / Zamnesia Eternity Grow Runtz Auto Week 11 Flower 7 Runtz Automatic is in her last week; March 17 had her wet trim and was put in the dark for 2 days before getting the chop on March 20. Runtz fade and nutrient usage apparent in the leaves combined with a check of her trichomes were an indication of readiness. The older pistils are turning orange brown and water consumption is slowing down. Many leaves were fully yellow and fell off when I touched them. Her leaves look pretty with lime greens, pinky purples in the bud formation. The buds are dense and covered in trichomes supported nicely with her stems. Through the microscope, the trichomes are mostly milky with some amber as well. She was harvested on day 74 from germination. As part of the flushing process, I topped the pot with ice, then watered with ph 6.5-6.7 water for 3 days. Then I put Runtz Auto in the dark for 2 days still in her pot. She will hang to dry in a darkened room. Temps are 71-72and 50% humidity. This week the gals were fed on March 17 & 19. Pics were taken on the 17th. Bloom Juice 120 ml Royal Rush 0 ml Power bud 15 ml Green sensation 15ml Cal Mag 20ml Recharge 5ml Ppm ranged from 676-777 Ph 6.5 Temp 68 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Got some better shots without light and a little video my cam is a bit shit got a video of trichs also in there girls seem to be flushing well started flushing the quick one later than the others as wasn't as developed. Took the 2 tester buds of very bottom under the plants on the first day of flush to try estimate how long to flush for........last pic and vid before harvest next uploads will be harvest hopefully

Last week's vidoe. For some reason, it's taking like minutes to upload thirty second videos. I will try my best to show the updated videos on a lot of these plants.Now i'm impressed with a lot of my autos growing in this naturally derived nutrient.Solution
