Going

Day 39 of flowering. Started raining a lot here, so is a little difficult to put fertilizer on them because the soil is always wet. Gave them ascophyllum nodosum 0,75ml/l.

Defoliated this week. Ladies are filling back in nicely. Tons of bud sites. Very happy with this batch so far! Nutrients every watering this week. These girls will now get one watering of just ph water, then the next watering will be the last watering with nitrogen. After that, we kick the bloom phase into overdrive. They will get micro, bloom, and advanced big bud. Every watering, for the rest of their lives. Grow-5ml Micro- 5ml Bloom- 5ml Recharge once a week.. What a bush!!!! Super heavy stalks and my gosh. Still vegging! What a yield this girl will be!!!

Strains: Barney’s Farm Lemon OG Auto & Seedsman Gorilla Candy Auto The stretch has now kicked in fully and both plants are showing excellent health with strong, even growth. Internodal spacing remains tight and consistent across both genetics, which is helping light penetration deep into the canopy. They’re each drinking around 1L per day, and today they were treated to a Biosys tea to give the soil life an extra boost. Nutrients remain the standard Ecothrive Soil Food Grow/Bloom + Charge + Biosys cycle, no adjustments needed so far. Environmental conditions are dialled in nicely at VPD 0.8, with temps 75–80°F and RH ~75%. Both strains are thriving in this environment and settling into the early-mid flowering stage with no visible stress.

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????🤣😈

Day 21 of the Auto Fractal on this plant will not do topping as she stayed a bit short for now but will do LST.This week will add more the ppm as soon they start flowering.

Day 16 of 12/12

4/26: I top-dressed their pots with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water each. I added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica. I started them on open sesame, too. Increased Ph to 6.40 to ensure that they can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving them now. 4/27: I did a little bit more training on the big one, but I like the way the small one is growing. I may end up spreading her branches a little bit, but she's fine for now. 4/29: They are both stretching pretty well, but the bigger one looks like she's gonna spread out and try to take over the closet. 5/1: I gave them a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed them with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitches, grow! 5/3: I did a slow-soak feeding today. Backed off the nitrogen a little more, increased silica, and started adding sweet & sticky and signal.

week 4 began 30th January 2022 04/02/22: the plants have really sprung up and have taken well to the bud ignitor and bloom. There are various "light sites" - the widows at the front are the smallest. Trimmed some of the lower branches on all of the plants today as well - many a dead leaf. Due to the amount of plants in the space its important that all the bud sites get adequate light. Lights at 80% and around 16 inches from the plants. Humidity is a little hight but will reduce this when I install the carbon filter and out take fan as well as an intake fan next week. over all positibe

This is the final week. I checked trichomes today. THey are about 75% cloudy. I’ll be harvesting by next week. I gave a teaspoon of Cha-Ching. The smell is heavenly! I Had to support a few branches.

Time for drying. Btw drying them like this was a bad idea buds are pressed from one side may be conceded to move them, well I still prefer hanging drying 🤪

She's stretching at the moment, hopefully bud formation will start soon. It's looking like mid to late October if she lasts that long 🤞

High temp and humidity! Leak smell and slowly grow.

Today mark day 37 flower. Last week I notice nute burn, I didn’t do anything different with the nutrient. Still using the same ratio. Today I started noticing the tips getting lime yellow again. I don’t suspect anything is off or wrong. Do you have experience with this slow nute burn at this stage already?

18/6 from seed Only water twice a week Only once with nutes When in low pot now in bigger pot we will see how much she needs Very abundant roots you will see the video and notice how well she is growing I really doubt the stress from this fast transplant so we will see it's behavior We already added bloom nutes since she didn't have anything before but whoa so fast did not expected that from red poison but makes me feel great to have you I think you will be my favorite haha Happy growing guys Sweet smokes Thanks for that guys

Feb 25 Miss Mia Wallace is growing nicely! See images Feb 19. I had a bad day. In general. Whoever is in charge of autocorrect on iOS update is either on GrowDiaries (in which case, bravo and what strain are you growing) or should be auto-canned. Anyhoo Miss Mia Wallace. Buds are boomin. Did a NPK treat. *TEST And looks a little low on nutes but otherwise ok. Agree? Comments on this? Would love feedback. The scrog net - installed by the autocorrect person as it turns out - still sloppy but doing its job. Turned down the power on the quantum board. Is intensely of the light the same as distance? Help! More to come after (*later) in the week. Took some vids also. Have a great day folks!
