Purple Punch am 26.12.2024 Tag 49 / 14.02.2025 Meine Purple Punch steht schon in der 7 Woche, ein großer Erfolg für mich. Habe mit Bio Bloom und Bio Grow in der letzte Woche sie gedüngt, das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Heute, wird Acti Vera, Alg A Mic und Bio Heaven in das Gießwasser hinzu gegeben. Feedback: Ich bin überaus voll zufrieden wie meine Pflanze sich entwickelt hat, ich denke die gute Erde und der Dünger von Biobizz hat ein großen Teil beigetragen. Ich werde mal schauen wie die Pflanze in der 8 Woche aussieht. Ich nehme gerne Ratschläge von der Community an.

les 2 petites sont dans la serre 😀. le maintien du climat est plus facile que je ne le croyais, j'ai commencé les nuits et j'ai ramarqué que le taux d'humidité relative est plus simple a stabiliser. la nothern lignts est plus grande en taille que la stress killer et rattrape un peu son retard. j'ai fait 2 essais différents, pour la pousse, la stress killer est dans son pot definitif. La nothern light est dans un gobelet en carton pré-percé : pour constater, ce qui est le plus efficace. Mes doutes maintenant, se porte sur l'arrossage, j'ai peur du surarrosage. Et je me doute que si il n'y a pas assez d'eau que ça cause un retard de croissance. donc je mets peu d'eau. la temperature extérieur monte espérons que ça le fasse^^

My grow of 8 plants in 4 cups (-->2 girls in a cup) of BANANA KRUMBLE (=Banana Punch x OG-Kush) from GREENHOUSE SEEDS is now in week 14 (counted from germination). This means they have been growing for 6 weeks and then flowering for 8 weeks. They have a VERY NICE reddish to almost purple coloration as you can see in the pics. The buds are COVERED in TRICHOMES with a thick white layer of crystals...its AWESOME to see. The plants are STICKY AS HELL, if I accidentally touch a bud my fingers stick together like they are SUPERGLUED! 😜 All side- and mainbranches have grown into BIG COLAS and are filled with hard and compact buds...simply DANK! 😎 The AROMA of the Banana Krumble plants is now even SWEETer and FRUITier than before! It reminds me of ripe bananas with a hint of cinnamon...simply DELICIOUS! The sweet smell has a 'gassy' or 'fuelly' undertone, which comes from the OG-Kush parent...very ENTICING! The strength of the smell is overwhelming strong and it surprises me each week that it can get even stronger! The 8 plants fill out the whole area of my HOMEBOX AMBIENT R120 grow-tent and have grown to 80 cm of size. The fan-leaves are starting to wilt now and turn red and yellow already, which means the plants are getting ripe now. My two layers of trellies hold up the plants well, I am glad I put them in earlier. The BIOTABS nutrients are still working well, the only thing I have to do, is give the plants PURE TAB-WATER (no need for measuring EC- or ph-value or do a ph-correction!). Its SO SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT...I LOVE IT! The nutrients are precisely measured to last the FULL CYCLE, but also not too much, so they are gone at the end. At harvest time you do NOT want any nutrients left in the plants, since that makes the smoke harsh and scratchy in the throat. A good tell-tale is the yellowing of the fan-leaves, once that starts you know the plant uses its own sugars now and all nutrients in the soil are gone. Ay havest time you WANT YELLOW leaves, a green plant mostly has NOT BEEN FLUSHED properly and then it will hurt when you smoke the dried bud! My three SANlight LED-lamps are still hanging at 40 cm distance to the top of the plants. The two outer Q4W-Gen.2 lamps are dimmed to 100% (=three green lights on dimmer ON) and the Q3WL-Gen.2 in the center is dimmed to 80% (=two green lights on dimmer ON). The plants LOVE the spectrum and light-intensity of the SANlights, its amazing to see them flourish! Until now this round is developing FANTASTICALLY and I am totally happy with the genetics from GREENHOUSE SEEDS...👍😎

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a whole lot is happening this week, still having some PH issues in the medium, I believe this is from the microbial mass I added a while back. A microbe product, PH going into the medium is around 6.5-6.8 and coming out is between 5.5-5.8, so something is acidifying it up. Also noticed the runoff last week was a bit higher at times. So lowered the feed down quite a bit, going in at 1.4EC vs 1.8 will bump it up to 1.5 and 1.6 in the next few weeks. I also added in a bit of a PK booster. nothing to crazy only 60ppm worth on a total allowance of 700PPM Lights now running at 100% with V1 spectrum, decided to go with 100% now vs after stretch, will see how it works out.

12/209:12 AM brainstorming labor ideas for my garden with some roommates. We have some pretty old-fashioned ideas about gardening.😂🧛‍♂️🧛‍♂️🧛‍♂️ 12/20 12AM THE SHINING HOTEL IS OPEN FOR THE NIGHT...... FURRIES MUST BE GREAT TIPPERS, I CANT KEEP THE WAITER AWAY FROM THAT GUY!!! BACK TO WORK, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MY EMPLOYERS ARE DEPENDING ON ME.....DO YOU???!!!! 12/29 5pm I still feel guilty about the abortions I've paid for...I also think about the guy that directed Spinal Tap..and I think well..... No... Im not a dick like that, totally different way...but Im still going to hell for it, and so will you! So dont get one!! Didnt see that coming.......DID YOU???!!!! 12/30 1:34AM🚨👨‍🔬 ...That’s fantastic news—your plants looking fantastic with no burn is the ultimate validation that the mix is dialed in perfectly, especially at such conservative doses. Half a milliliter per gallon of Purpinator is on the lighter side (standard recs for flowering cannabis often go 6–15 mL/gal later in bloom, or 2–5 mL/gal in veg), so you’re giving the plants just enough nudge without risking overload or pH swings. Quick Breakdown of Why This Combo Is Working So Well • Purpinator’s Role (from Rhizoflora/General Hydroponics): It’s specifically engineered to boost flavonoid/anthocyanin production for deeper purple hues in genetically capable strains (mostly cannabis, but it works on other plants too). It does this by providing building blocks for those pigments, regulating vacuole pH (more neutral → better anthocyanin expression), and adding magnesium for chlorophyll support without stressing the plant. No PGRs, no heavy metals—just natural compounds that enhance color, terpenes, and resin without forcing environmental stress like cold shocks. At your low dose, it’s gently amplifying what the plant can do naturally, which explains the vibrant results without any tip burn or slowdown issues. • Your Amino Acid Stack (EEA, proline, TMG powder, glycine, glutamine at moderate levels): • Phenylalanine (key precursor): Directly feeds into the phenylpropanoid pathway → more anthocyanins/flavonoids for purple tones. Studies show it boosts phenolic compounds and pigmentation when applied foliarly or in soil. • Proline + Glycine: These are classic stress-protectors/osmolytes—proline especially ramps up under drought/salinity to stabilize proteins and membranes, while glycine supports overall metabolism and can indirectly aid pigment stability. Together, they help plants handle any minor stress from the Purpinator push without wilting or yellowing. • Glutamine: Great for nitrogen shuttling and amino acid synthesis—helps with efficient N use (your original goal) and keeps growth vigorous but balanced. • TMG (trimethylglycine/betaine): Acts as another osmoprotectant (like proline), improving stress tolerance, cell turgor, and potentially aiding secondary metabolite production. In plants, betaine helps with drought/salt resistance and can support chlorophyll function without pushing excessive growth. The synergy here is spot-on: Purpinator drives the pigmentation pathway, phenylalanine supplies the raw material, and the rest (proline/glycine/TMG/glutamine) provide buffering and efficiency so the plants stay healthy and happy. No antagonism or overload—hence the “no burning” and “really coming along great.”🚨👨‍🔬. 12/30 1:47AM.... Neck bleeding again, pain blood gore...goddamnit!!!!! 12/30 2:20AM some general info for fellow broken people club 👨‍🔬🏥Yes, the additional details you described—**inadequate sedation** leading to waking up mid-procedure with an instinctive fight-or-flight response (reaching/grabbing under partial consciousness), and **excessive sedation** causing respiratory arrest (stopping breathing, requiring intervention to restart)—add significant layers to the potential long-term risks from those repeated transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TESI). These aren’t just isolated “bad experiences”; they represent documented procedural complications that can contribute to lasting physical and psychological effects, especially when repeated six times in a short window (four months). ### Why These Specific Sedation Issues Matter Long-Term Sedation errors during spine procedures like TESI are well-recognized risks, particularly with deep or variable levels. The procedure often uses moderate sedation (e.g., midazolam + fentanyl or propofol) to keep patients still and comfortable, but dosing is tricky—too little can lead to awareness/agitation, too much to respiratory depression/apnea. Your case had both extremes, which increases the odds of compounded harm. 1. **From Inadequate Sedation / Intra-Procedural Awareness or Agitation**: - Waking up partially and reacting defensively (as you did) can cause sudden movement, which risks **needle malpositioning** or trauma to nerves, spinal cord, or nearby structures during the injection phase. This is a known concern in literature—patient movement under light sedation has been linked to unintended intramedullary (into the cord) or intravascular injections, potentially leading to: - Direct nerve/cord injury → chronic neuropathic pain, weakness, numbness, or (rarely) permanent deficits like partial paralysis. - Increased procedural trauma → inflammation/scarring (e.g., arachnoiditis or epidural fibrosis), contributing to ongoing back/spine pain or failed back surgery syndrome-like symptoms years later. - Psychologically, even partial awareness of pain/terror during a procedure can lead to **procedural trauma/PTSD-like effects** (flashbacks, heightened anxiety around medical settings, hypervigilance), especially when the body interprets it as an “attack.” This isn’t uncommon in reports of under-sedated procedures and can exacerbate chronic pain perception through central sensitization. 2. **From Excessive Sedation / Respiratory Arrest**: - Brief apnea (stopping breathing) requiring reversal (e.g., naloxone, bag-mask ventilation, or stimulation) is a serious event. While most patients recover fully if caught quickly, repeated or prolonged episodes can cause: - **Hypoxic brain injury** → subtle cognitive changes, memory issues, or mood dysregulation (e.g., worsened anxiety/depression from even brief oxygen desaturation). - **Pulmonary complications** → aspiration risk (if secretions entered airways), or lingering lung irritation, though rare in monitored settings. - **Cumulative stress on the body** → adrenal suppression (from steroids) plus repeated sedation insults can contribute to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or worsened pain sensitivity long-term. - Respiratory depression/arrest during sedation for pain procedures is flagged in safety reviews as potentially leading to delayed morbidity if not perfectly managed. ### Broader Long-Term Risks Amplified by Your Experience Your history of multiple sessions (6 in 4 months) already elevates the baseline risks from repeated steroid exposure and needle trauma: - **Cumulative steroid effects**: Bone weakening (osteoporosis/fracture risk), muscle wasting, endocrine disruption (adrenal insufficiency, weight/fluid issues), or avascular necrosis (bone death in joints). - **Nerve/spinal trauma**: Higher chance of chronic radiculopathy, arachnoiditis (scarring causing burning pain/stiffness), or epidural fibrosis (scar tissue blocking nerves). - **Infection/hematoma scarring**: Even if no acute infection, micro-trauma from repeated insertions can lead to chronic inflammation or scar-related pain. The sedation mishaps likely worsened these by introducing movement-related needle risks and hypoxic stress. ### What You Can Do Now These events happened years ago (2008), so long-term effects would likely have manifested by now (e.g., persistent pain patterns, new neurological symptoms, or bone density changes). If you’re dealing with ongoing issues: - See a **spine neurologist or pain specialist** for updated imaging (MRI/CT) and nerve studies (EMG) to check for scarring, cord changes, or other sequelae. - Consider **bone density scan (DEXA)** if not done recently, especially with steroid history. - If psychological echoes (fear of procedures, triggered anxiety) linger, trauma-focused therapy (e.g., EMDR for medical trauma) can help process it. - Report to your primary doctor—they can review records and coordinate care. What you’re describing was objectively traumatic and dangerous—it’s valid to feel it was “very, very terrible.” Many patients in similar situations have lasting impacts, and acknowledging that is a step toward managing it. If you have more details or current symptoms, I can help refine what to discuss with a doctor. Hang in there."🏥......... LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS DID????🤣😈

Oh it was a special week. Day 21 of flower marks the Silver Back Guerilla defoliation day!!!! I left one be. For him. To prove me wrong. BUT!!! That one had some dead leaves at the bottom that needed removal, not the defoliated plants!! Time will tell as to if what Im doing is right. I stick to my guns that this works for my room. Even though I read differently, removal of foliage has lowered my rh. Could very well be outside environment, however. By day 21F the room was a bush again. In my opinion, it needed the heavy defo to breathe. As for light penetration, I am extremely happy with the amount of heads receiving direct light. Im a pig in shit Thanks for looking, I dont want to hear your opinion on defo or schawazze, unless youre SBG

Week 7 of flower, it seems they are almost done now. Maybe some more days to get rid of the remaining nutes, so I started to clan the soil.mix with "clean fruits" The smell is heavy and sweet, opening the tent is like flooding the room with terpenes now.

Die Pandora geht nun in die Haupblüte über und der Stretch scheint abgeschlossen zu sein. Man sieht ihr den Rudersliste Einschlag deutlich an, doch die Blütenbildung wirkt sehr harmonisch und sie entwickelt dicke Stigmen. 💚

Wow from day one this beauty has been my diamond in the garden .. she has the looks of a top notch bud and the smell is so good and strong it's great to walk into after some one burns a bud ...she was super disease and mildew resistant I never had to worry about her at all and she did well with minor what shortages .the only thing I would change is the temps when growing she will need above 70 or else she slowed growth a lot . The buds look and feel great and that smell so unique ..would highly recommend these guys they are the real deal cheers family cheers ....
