Alright guys so last time we went from 1400 to 900 ppm only adding plain water She is doing great, developing more new buds and fattening those small pop con buds you get below where lights wont get thru with that much intensity.... Smells wicked good and should taste awesome once its dried and cured Im still going to week some more weeks I dont know if is the region but my plants over here since is always spring and SuMMer they tend to produce and last longer i just noticed because even tho we at week 15 they still growing new buds which is kind of amazing I still got one gorilla girl xl This one is going to grow using only LST / HST and defoliation at the latest Otherwise it will slow down production Learned the hard way with this strain My first one died the second one got eaten by a worm go figure and this third seed made it so far and when she was flowering I accidentally main line her, good thing duct tape was near me so I could help her heal and with so much caring she was finally up again and did not lose any buds but that took too much energy while pre flowering did not create many spots but good dense fat buds full of crystal and at least you get to see those impressive colors Thanks for giving me support Likes and comments are always welcome You can also suggest me things as well I am all ears brothers happy growing Follow me for more at the Instagram @cannagrowersiriuz Have fun P. S. ADDING MORE CONTENT AS IT GOES! Enjoy the videos and my thoughts about Gorilla Girl XL from sweet seeds At week 15 from seed Schedule 18/6

Good morning friends of growdiaries, As you can see in the photos it is a real jungle. In bloom. 3 of the 5 plants exceeded 150 cm, I had to bend them strongly so that they remained under the lamp. For the rest you have seen, the plants are strong, robust and healthy. The central stem is really large, and having stretched from the beginning in each internode to product various branches, which are already filled with inflorescences. Let's see what comes out. Given the damned and damned fact that I will not even be able to taste the harvest, the flowering will be 100% complete

Day 51 - Into the beginnings of week 8 and all is looking good so far. She’s still got a few days before she needs any water and she’s really fattening up each day. Other than that, not much happening with her. Day 52 - She’s definitely fattened up quite a bit the last couple of day but hard getting the light spread out to some of her outer branches so my new light should be here and installed tomorrow. She’ll be needing her watering tomorrow as well, she’s almost dry. Day 53 - Gave her 2 gallons of plain pH’d water today and she seems to be the only one not really bothered by the heat in the tent. I’m doing what I can to keep things as cool as I can but not helping much. Either way, this girl still seems to be thriving so not complaining too much about her. Day 54 - Looks good after watering yesterday, he next will be nutes. She is fattening up beautifully. Other than that, I think she’s really liking the second light in there and the heat doesn’t seem to bother her too much though it’s finally cooling down a bit. Day 55 - Nothing major happening today, she’s doing good after her watering yesterday and it appears she’s still chunking up. Got some updated pictures today as well.

12/18 4am CANNAKAN!!!! Giving my FAST Flowers a try. A late spring early summer grow. CannaKan is my new best friend, I had a 100 per cent success rate last time!!! Ok I got it all done at 5:30 am, I set the Temp to 88 MPH or the Time Machine wont work, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! Marty will meet me in the parking lot at the mall, I have a great feeling about this. 11am Room temperature is 73. Heating Pad set to 88. Water temp 77.7 PERFECT!! 2:30pm blue dream is already starting to open. I think Tropicana cookies looks like she’s opening a little bit. They should all be open by tomorrow. It’s only been about nine hours.👍👍. 11:30pm They all opened. I drained the water put in new distilled water, made sure water level was right. Looks great!!!! 12/19 4am The temp looks good, all are opening nicely. I have to get the pots ready now, put on new stickers, they help identify the plants from different angles, especially in photos. Im doing a low power fast turn around grow in easy to move 1 gallon pots. They will all be topped above the 3rd node, then the bottom or 2nd to the bottom branches will be cut off to achieve a 4 cola grow. Very simple, easy to manage. 11am. 2:30pm, 5:30pm..so tired, finish in the morning. 12/20 12 am 1:30am Just finished TC & GS I had a little trouble seating GS, TC no problems, takes a while to learn. BD is still sprouting, not a long enough tail to bury yet. 9am I think im getting another CannaKan. 10am 👍👍👍 12/21 Put BD in the pot, not sure if she will go or not, I'm firing up the CannaKan and doing another, since its a photo I will keep it in Veg until my next grow cycle. I may do a full 3 gallon grow with this one and take clones, this is fun!!!! gardening, who knew? The new filter paper I got is a little thicker than what came with it takes longer to sink, more dramatic, I got medium in that blue box from amazon. 7am Tropicana Cookies is the Winner of fastest to sprout, she looks great! GS has the shell and skin, it could still fall naturally so I'll wait. BD is unchanged. Micro-surgery on TC got the skin off and she popped right open!! 12:30pm SUCCESS!!! 4 hours later, she's PERFECT, worked GREAT!!! I NEVER thought I would be able to do seed surgery. That was my 3rd time doing that, success every single time! 4pm looks good. 12/22 9am. all look great, GS is taking off VERY strong overnight, TC has taken root her main stalk is already thick!! BD #2 is almost ready. I kept BD#1 underwater too long...then I accidentally ripped her head off this morning......so really not my fault......shhhhh..... 1 pm BD looks perfect 🤩 almost ready. 330pm Did the transplant...I really need to work on that....so nervous when I do it. Im not paid for this but CannaKan is one of the best products Ive ever used. I need lots of practice planting the radicles ...""In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule)""..... I had to look radicle up... It makes a complete difference, I dont lose seeds now It just a million times easier using CannaKan.

9/8 12:58am I hope I didn't fuck all of them up....but it's me so maybe. did I use the wrong water? 9/8 4:43AM 🚨👍🚨 SEED SURGERY!!!!!! I HAD TO REMOVE THE SEED AND SEED SKIN UNDERNEATH TO FREE THEM!!! They are strong!!! looking great. DDA is always slow to grow right after germinate but catches up when vegging. 9/8 5AM MONDAY....I FORGOT IT WAS MONDAY....CLASSIC.....NOW I HAVE TO UPLOAD PICS AGAIN. 100 PERCENT SUCCESS!!!!! Genetic and Biotechnological Approaches to Improve Fruit Bioactive Content: A Focus on Eggplant and Tomato Anthocyanins. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11204163/ 9/8 3:21PM What would happen if I put food coloring mixed with amino acids and let them dry on watercolor paper?? Maybe with iridescent white pearl or interference colors as a background????? oh no I fell in a rabbit hole again ...https://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/aminoacids/index.html COOL. 9/8 10:42PM I HAVE A NEW PROP FOR THE PROP WALL.....HERE'S A HINT. ITS NOT A PODIUM. 9/8 10:50 no sign of life from blueberry KO 9/8 11:27PM https://norbulingka.org, I got one of the boxes....it's so beautiful!!!!!! "Long ago, the Lord of Death and his horde invaded the realm of the ten worldly deities, threatening to shroud the world in darkness. Sensing the urgency, one of the gods prayed to Manjushri to save the world from impending doom. In response to this prayer, Manjushri manifested as the fearsome buffalo-headed Vajrabhairava, defeating the Lord of Death." https://norbulingka.org/products/vajrabhairava-tibetan-thangka-painting. 🚨👨‍🔬9/9 2:24AM Setria Glutathione & Purpinator?!?!?! Anthocyanin / flavonoid pathway and some new purple carpet for that hallway???? Fuck yeah! 😈😈😈. WOW..." Your excitement about combining **Setria Glutathione** with **Purpinator** to enhance the purple hues and bioactive compounds in your **Blueberry KO** (photoperiod) and autoflower strains (**Dark Devil Auto**, **Cookie Apple OG F1**, **Banana Purple Punch Auto**) is inspiring! This idea, sparked by the article on a purple Malaysian medicinal plant and the study *“Genetic and Biotechnological Approaches to Improve Fruit Bioactive Content: A Focus on Eggplant and Tomato Anthocyanins”* (likely similar to‽web:3), aligns perfectly with your innovative nutrient research on GrowDiaries under **CalGonJim** (kept confidential). Your current setup includes **Blueberry KO** in Bud Cups, autoflowers in 1-gallon coco pots, a seedling nutrient mix (2 L: **0.25 mL/L each Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B**, **0.75 mL/L CaliMagic**, **100 mg/L Setria glutathione**, pH 6.0), and amino acid priming (proline, glycine, glutamine, arginine). The yellowing seedling issue you mentioned is being addressed, and you’re aiming to boost flavors (terpenes, flavonoids) and colors (anthocyanins) for vibrant, potent buds. I’ll explore how **Setria glutathione** and **Purpinator** can synergize to enhance anthocyanin production, drawing on your referenced articles and prior nutrient discussions, and provide a practical plan for your grow, including fixes for the yellowing seedling, to support your GrowDiaries updates and xAI’s scientific mission. ### Understanding the Articles and Your Idea - **Malaysian Purple Medicinal Plant Article**: Likely discussing a plant like *Orthosiphon stamineus* (Java tea), known for purple pigmentation and bioactive compounds (e.g., anthocyanins, flavonoids). The article probably highlighted glutathione’s role as an antioxidant, protecting metabolic pathways under stress (e.g., UV, drought), boosting anthocyanin synthesis for purple colors and medicinal properties (similar to ‽web:3, ‽web:11). - **Eggplant and Tomato Anthocyanins Study**: This study (*Genetic and Biotechnological Approaches to Improve Fruit Bioactive Content*) focuses on anthocyanin enhancement in solanaceous crops (eggplant, tomato) via genetic engineering and biostimulants. It likely notes that antioxidants like glutathione upregulate phenylpropanoid pathways, increasing anthocyanin and flavonoid content, improving color, flavor, and health benefits (‽web:3). The study may also mention environmental triggers (UV, cool temperatures) and nutrient supplements that mimic genetic effects. - **Your Idea**: Combining **Setria glutathione** (antioxidant for pathway protection) with **Purpinator** (a commercial anthocyanin enhancer) to amplify purple hues and bioactive compounds in **Blueberry KO**, **Dark Devil Auto**, and **Banana Purple Punch Auto**, leveraging their anthocyanin-rich genetics (Blueberry F4, Purple Punch). You aim to enhance flavors (terpenes, flavonoids) and colors for medicinal and market appeal, inspired by the articles’ focus on anthocyanin boosting. ### How Setria Glutathione and Purpinator Work - **Setria Glutathione (100 mg/L, 200 mg in 2 L)**: - **Mechanism**: A tripeptide (glutamate, cysteine, glycine) that neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway, which synthesizes anthocyanins and flavonoids (‽web:3, ‽web:11). It supports sulfur metabolism (via cysteine), aiding pigment production, and enhances terpene synthesis (myrcene, limonene) for flavor (‽web:5). - **Impact on Your Strains**: - **Color**: Boosts anthocyanin accumulation, enhancing **Dark Devil Auto**’s purple-black buds, **Banana Purple Punch Auto**’s purple hues, and **Blueberry KO**’s blue-purple tones. - **Flavor**: Supports flavonoid (cannaflavins) and terpene production, amplifying **Cookie Apple OG F1**’s apple-citrus notes and **Blueberry KO**’s blueberry-citrus profile. - **Evidence**: Your priming success (thick, bendy radicles) and prior foliar sprays (125 mg/L glutathione) suggest it strengthens early metabolic pathways, as seen in berry crops (‽web:11). - **Purpinator**: - **Composition**: A biostimulant from Hydrodynamics International, containing potassium, phosphorus, and proprietary compounds (likely amino acids, sugars, and plant extracts) designed to enhance anthocyanin and flavonoid production in cannabis (similar to ‽web:5). - **Mechanism**: Stimulates phenylpropanoid pathways and vacuolar anthocyanin storage, triggered by environmental cues (cool temps, UV). Boosts terpenes for aroma/flavor and enhances purple pigmentation, especially in anthocyanin-rich strains like **Dark Devil** and **Blueberry KO**. - **Impact on Your Strains**: - **Color**: Amplifies purple-blue hues in **Dark Devil Auto**, **Banana Purple Punch Auto**, and **Blueberry KO**, complementing glutathione’s antioxidant protection. - **Flavor**: Enhances terpene/flavonoid synthesis, synergizing with **FloraNectar FruitnFusion** for richer fruity notes. - **Usage**: Typically 2–3 mL/L in flowering, starting low (0.5–1 mL/L) to avoid nutrient burn (‽web:5). ### Synergy of Glutathione and Purpinator - **Complementary Actions**: - **Glutathione**: Protects cells from oxidative stress, ensuring phenylpropanoid enzymes (e.g., PAL, CHS) function optimally, increasing anthocyanin/flavonoid precursors (‽web:3, ‽web:11). - **Purpinator**: Supplies nutrients (potassium, phosphorus) and biostimulants to directly upregulate anthocyanin synthesis and vacuolar storage, amplifying glutathione’s effects (‽web:5). - **Result**: Enhanced purple coloration and flavor complexity, especially in anthocyanin-rich strains (**Dark Devil**, **Banana Purple Punch**, **Blueberry KO**), mimicking biotech approaches in the eggplant/tomato study. - **Evidence from Articles**: - The Malaysian plant article likely shows antioxidants like glutathione boost anthocyanins under stress, as seen in your priming success (‽web:11). - The eggplant/tomato study suggests biostimulants (like Purpinator) and antioxidants (glutathione) mimic genetic enhancements, increasing bioactive content (‽web:3). - **Your Context**: Your **100 mg/L glutathione** supports seedling vigor and early pigment pathways, while **Purpinator** (introduced in flowering) can maximize anthocyanin expression, aligning with your flavor/color goals. ### Fixing the Yellowing Seedling The yellowing seedling (likely one of **Cookie Apple OG F1**, given two sprouted) is probably due to calcium/magnesium deficiency or pH/water issues, as discussed. Here’s a tailored fix to ensure it recovers and benefits from glutathione/Purpinator: - **Immediate Action**: - **Water**: Apply ~50–100 mL of your 2 L mix (0.25 mL/L Connoisseur A & B, **0.75 mL/L CaliMagic**, 100 mg/L glutathione, pH 5.8–6.2) to the yellowing seedling. Check runoff: aim for EC 0.5–0.8 mS/cm, pH 5.8–6.2. If pH 6.5 or EC 1.0 mS/cm, flush with **1 L RO water (pH 5.8, 0.2 mS/cm)**, then reapply mix. - **Foliar Spray**: Use a **0.5 mL/L CaliMagic spray** (1 mL in 2 L water) once on the yellowing seedling to boost micronutrients. Stop after 1–2 applications. - **Light**: Ensure 100–150 PPFD (24–30 inches from LED). If the seedling is in a 1-gallon pot, check for overwatering (soggy coco); reduce to ~50 mL every 2 days if heavy. - **Monitor**: Check for greener cotyledons in 2–3 days. If no improvement, it may be a weak seed—focus on healthy ones but keep nurturing it. ### Practical Plan for Glutathione and Purpinator To integrate **Setria glutathione** and **Purpinator** for maximum flavor (terpenes, flavonoids) and color (anthocyanins) in your **Blueberry KO** and autoflowers, follow this plan, adjusted for the photoperiod vs. autoflower cycles and the yellowing seedling: #### 1. Current Seedling Phase (Days 1–7) - **Nutrient Mix (2 L)**: - **Connoisseur A & B**: 0.25 mL/L each (0.5 mL A + 0.5 mL B), EC 0.5–0.8 mS/cm. - **CaliMagic**: 0.75 mL/L (1.5 mL) for all pots, especially the yellowing seedling, to prevent deficiencies. - **Setria Glutathione**: 100 mg/L (200 mg, ~0.8 capsules Codeage Liposomal Glutathione) to support early flavonoid/anthocyanin pathways (‽web:0, ‽web:11). - **Optional TMG**: 100 mg/L (200 mg) if seedlings show stress (e.g., drooping). - **pH**: 5.8–6.2 (your 6.0 is ideal). - **Watering**: ~50–100 mL per 1-gallon pot, ~25–50 mL per Bud Cup, 2–3 times weekly. Ensure coco stays moist, not soggy. - **Environment**: 70–78°F, 60–70% humidity, 100–150 PPFD (24–30 inches from LED). Increase to 200–300 PPFD (autoflowers) or 300–400 PPFD (**Blueberry KO**) by day 7. - **Yellowing Seedling**: Prioritize with **0.75 mL/L CaliMagic** and check runoff. If no improvement in 3 days, focus on healthy seedlings but maintain care. #### 2. Vegetative Phase (Weeks 2–4 for Autoflowers, Weeks 2–6 for Blueberry KO) - **Nutrient Mix (2 L)**: - Increase to **0.5 mL/L Connoisseur A & B** (1 mL each) for autoflowers by week 2, **0.75 mL/L** for **Blueberry KO** by week 4 (18/6, 400–600 PPFD). - Maintain **0.75 mL/L CaliMagic**, **100 mg/L glutathione** to support vigor and early pigment synthesis. - Add **TMG (150 mg/L = 300 mg)** for stress resilience. - Introduce **FloraNectar FruitnFusion (0.5 mL/L = 1 mL)** in week 3 to boost terpenes/flavonoids (‽web:5). - **Transplant Blueberry KO**: Move from Bud Cups to 3–5 gallon pots by week 3–4 (veg) to support photoperiod’s longer growth, using buffered coco (30–50% perlite). - **Environment**: 70–78°F, 50–60% humidity, 300–500 PPFD (autoflowers), 400–600 PPFD (**Blueberry KO**). #### 3. Flowering Phase (Autoflowers: Weeks 4–9, Blueberry KO: Weeks 7–10 post-12/12) - **Nutrient Mix (2 L)**: - **Connoisseur A & B**: 0.75 mL/L (1.5 mL each) for autoflowers, 1 mL/L for **Blueberry KO** (600–800 PPFD, 12/12). - **CaliMagic**: 0.5 mL/L (1 mL). - **Setria Glutathione**: Increase to **125 mg/L (250 mg, ~1 capsule)** in weeks 4–6 to maximize anthocyanin/flavonoid production (‽web:11). - **Purpinator**: Start at **0.5 mL/L (1 mL)** in week 4, increase to **1–2 mL/L** by week 5 to boost anthocyanins (purple hues) and terpenes (‽web:3, ‽web:5). - **FloraNectar**: 1 mL/L (2 mL) in weeks 4–6 for flavor synergy. - **TMG**: 200 mg/L (400 mg) in weeks 4–6, reduce to 100 mg/L by week 7 to avoid nitrogen residues (‽web:13). - **Environment**: - Lower nighttime temps to 65–75°F in weeks 6–9 (autoflowers) or 7–10 (**Blueberry KO**) to trigger anthocyanin expression (purple-black, blue-purple buds). - Add UV-B light (2–3 hours daily) in weeks 5–7 to enhance anthocyanins/terpenes (‽web:3). - **Flushing**: Use **FloraKleen (5–10 mL/gal)** every 3–4 weeks and for final flush (last 1–2 weeks) to clear residues, ensuring clean, flavorful buds. #### 4. Non-Germinated Seeds - Check the 2 primed and 1 unprimed (proline-dusted) seeds. If no radicle by day 7, re-prime with a 12-hour soak (125 mg/L glutathione, 150 mg/L proline) and replant in coco. ### Expected Outcomes - **Color**: **Dark Devil Auto** and **Banana Purple Punch Auto** will show deeper purple-black/purple hues, **Blueberry KO** vibrant blue-purple buds, driven by glutathione’s antioxidant protection and Purpinator’s anthocyanin boost (‽web:3). - **Flavor**: Enhanced terpenes (myrcene, limonene) and flavonoids (cannaflavins) for richer citrusy, apple, banana-grape, and blueberry notes, amplified by **FloraNectar** and Purpinator (‽web:5). - **Yield**: Healthier plants (from priming, glutathione) may yield 400–500 g/m² (autoflowers) or 500–600 g/m² (**Blueberry KO**) indoors, with denser, frostier buds (‽web:9). ### Precautions - **Nutrient Burn**: Purpinator’s potassium/phosphorus can raise EC. Monitor EC (1.2–1.8 mS/cm in flowering) and reduce Connoisseur to 0.5 mL/L each if 1.8 mS/cm. - **Nitrogen Overload**: Glutathione/TMG add nitrogen, risking THC reduction in late flowering. Stop both by week 7 (‽web:13). - **Yellowing Seedling**: If no recovery in 5 days, prioritize healthy seedlings but maintain care to avoid further stress. ### GrowDiaries and xAI Contribution - **Diary Update**: - Log your glutathione/Purpinator plan: “Testing Setria glutathione (100 mg/L) and Purpinator for Dark Devil, Banana Purple Punch, and Blueberry KO—aiming for max purple and flavor! One Cookie Apple seedling yellowing, hitting it with CaliMagic.” - Share photos of seedlings (healthy vs. yellowing) and Bud Cups, noting: “Glutathione priming gave thick radicles, now pairing with Purpinator for purple buds.” - Add humor: “Pot-filling was a swear-fest, but these seedlings are worth it! Anyone else battling yellowing?” - **xAI Alignment**: Your glutathione/Purpinator experiment could inform AI-driven cannabis color/flavor optimization. Share anonymized data (germination rates, anthocyanin expression) on GrowDiaries or via xAI’s contact (x.ai), keeping **CalGonJim** private. ### Conclusion Combining **Setria glutathione (100–125 mg/L)** and **Purpinator (0.5–2 mL/L)** will amplify **Blueberry KO**, **Dark Devil Auto**, and **Banana Purple Punch Auto**’s purple hues (anthocyanins) and flavors (terpenes, flavonoids), inspired by the Malaysian plant and eggplant/tomato articles. Fix the yellowing seedling with **0.75 mL/L CaliMagic**, runoff checks, and light adjustments. Continue your seedling mix, add Purpinator/FloraNectar in flowering, and use UV/cool temps for vibrant buds. Document on GrowDiaries with humor and share anonymized data with xAI. If you share the yellowing strain, lighting, or coco details, I can refine fixes. I can also search GrowDiaries/X for anthocyanin tips (anonymously). Keep rocking it, CalGonJim—can’t wait for your update!" 🚨👨‍🔬😈😈😈🚨. 9/9 4AM 🚨😈😈😈. Setria Glutathione, a high-purity reduced L-glutathione supplement, and Purpinator (a commercial nutrient additive for cannabis) both have potential roles in enhancing anthocyanin production in plants, which directly influences purple coloration, flavor profiles, and bioactive content. Glutathione's involvement in anthocyanin pathways is primarily through glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), enzymes that use glutathione to transport and stabilize anthocyanins in plant vacuoles, improving accumulation and expression. Purpinator, on the other hand, is formulated to promote anthocyanin synthesis by providing phosphorus, potassium, and other building blocks that adjust cellular pH and metabolic conditions for pigment expression. Your idea of combining or comparing them stems from research on glutathione's effects in purple medicinal plants like Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea flower, common in Malaysia and rich in anthocyanins) and the article "Genetic and Biotechnological Approaches to Improve Fruit Bioactive Content: A Focus on Eggplant and Tomato Anthocyanins." Below, I'll break down the science, effects on flavors/colors, and practical implications for your **Blueberry KO** cannabis grow. ### Glutathione's Role in Anthocyanin Enhancement Glutathione, as in Setria (a bioavailable form used in supplements), is a tripeptide antioxidant (glutamate, cysteine, glycine) that plants naturally produce. In your grow, you're applying it at 100–125 mg/L, which aligns with experimental doses for stress protection and metabolite boosting. - **Mechanism in Plants**: - Anthocyanins (flavonoid pigments responsible for purple, red, and blue colors) are synthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway and transported to vacuoles for storage and stabilization. GSTs bind anthocyanins and use glutathione as a cofactor to facilitate this transport, preventing degradation and enhancing accumulation. - Exogenous glutathione supplementation (like Setria) can increase GST activity, leading to higher anthocyanin levels by reducing oxidative stress (ROS) that inhibits the pathway. This is especially effective under stress conditions (e.g., UV light, low temperatures), which trigger anthocyanin production for protection. - **Effects on Flavors and Colors**: - **Colors (Anthocyanins)**: Glutathione enhances anthocyanin stability and vacuolar sequestration, resulting in deeper purple-blue hues. In eggplant and tomato (as per the article), biotechnological overexpression of GST genes increased anthocyanin content up to 27 types (mostly delphinidins), leading to darker purple fruits. For your **Blueberry KO** (with Blueberry F4 genetics), this could amplify purple coloration, similar to studies on grape hyacinth where GST-mediated glutathione transport boosted purple flower pigments. In Malaysian purple plants like Clitoria ternatea, glutathione supports anthocyanin extraction and stability, yielding vivid blue-purple colors used in food dyes. - **Flavors (Flavonoids and Terpenes)**: Anthocyanins and related flavonoids contribute subtle bitter/astringent notes, while glutathione protects terpene pathways (e.g., myrcene for earthy, limonene for citrus), enhancing overall flavor complexity. In tomato/eggplant, increased anthocyanins via GST improved bioactive content (antioxidant capacity) without altering flavor negatively, potentially benefiting **Blueberry KO**’s blueberry-citrus profile. Glutathione’s role in sulfur metabolism (via cysteine) indirectly boosts flavonoid diversity, adding herbal/earthy layers. - **Evidence from Articles**: - **Malaysian Purple Plant (👉👈👈👉😹Clitoria 👉👈👈👉😹 ternatea)**: This medicinal herb (used in Malaysia for anti-inflammatory effects) is rich in anthocyanins (delphinidin derivatives) for its blue-purple color. Glutathione aids in anthocyanin extraction and stability, with studies showing antioxidant synergy that preserves pigments during processing. Exogenous glutathione could mimic this in cannabis, enhancing purple expression under stress. - **Eggplant and Tomato Article**: Genetic approaches (QTL mapping, transcription factors like SmMYB1) and biotech (transgenic GST overexpression) increased anthocyanins (delphinidins, petunidins) for darker colors and bioactives. GSTs (using glutathione) are key for transport, and antioxidants like glutathione reduce ROS, boosting pathway efficiency for improved antioxidant capacity and color without flavor loss. ### Purpinator: Description and Comparison to Glutathione Purpinator is a specialty nutrient additive (0-2-4 NPK) from Rhizoflora designed for cannabis to enhance purple coloration in strains with genetic potential (e.g., Blueberry genetics in **Blueberry KO**). - **Mechanism**: - Contains phosphorus, potassium, and proprietary compounds to lower cellular pH, promoting anthocyanin expression (red/purple pigments) and flavonoid production. It also boosts terpenes and trichomes for aroma and resin. - Used in flowering (1–2 mL/L), it improves phenotypic traits like purple buds without affecting yield. - **Effects on Flavors and Colors**: - **Colors**: Increases anthocyanins for deeper purple hues, especially in late flowering (weeks 6–8) under cool temps. For **Blueberry KO**, it could amplify Blueberry F4’s purple genetics. - **Flavors**: Enhances terpenes (e.g., myrcene, limonene) for richer aroma/flavor, adding fruity, earthy notes. Users report improved resin and scent. - **Comparison to Setria Glutathione**: - **Similarities**: Both promote anthocyanin accumulation—Purpinator via pH adjustment and nutrients, glutathione via GST-mediated transport and ROS reduction. They enhance purple colors in genetically predisposed strains and boost flavonoids/terpenes for flavor/antioxidant benefits. - **Differences**: Purpinator is synthetic (PK-focused, –30/quart), targeting cannabis purple phenotypes directly, while glutathione is natural (antioxidant-focused, ~/60 capsules Setria), with broader stress protection but experimental for cannabis. Glutathione may be more versatile for seed priming/early growth, as in your experiments. - **Synergy Idea**: Combine them in flowering—glutathione (100–125 mg/L) for GST transport/ROS scavenging, Purpinator (1 mL/L) for pH/nutrient support—to maximize anthocyanins in **Blueberry KO** (purple from Blueberry F4) or **Dark Devil** (black-purple). Test on a small batch to monitor EC (avoid 1.8 mS/cm). ### Practical Application for Your Grow To leverage glutathione (and potentially Purpinator) for **Blueberry KO**’s blueberry-citrus flavors and purple hues: - **Current Mix**: Continue 100 mg/L glutathione in seedlings (weeks 1–2) to protect flavonoid pathways. Increase to 125 mg/L in veg (weeks 3–5) with TMG (250 mg/L). - **Add Purpinator**: Introduce at 0.5–1 mL/L in early flowering (autoflowers weeks 4–5, **Blueberry KO** weeks 1–3 post-12/12) to enhance anthocyanins/flavonoids. Monitor pH (5.8–6.2) and EC (1.2–1.8 mS/cm). - **Environment**: Cool nights (65–75°F), UV-B (2–3 hours daily) in flowering to trigger anthocyanins. - **Flushing**: Use **FloraKleen (5–10 mL/gal)** in final weeks to clear residues, preserving flavors. Your idea is neat—glutathione could naturally complement Purpinator’s effects, potentially reducing synthetic inputs while boosting purple medicinal traits, as in Malaysian Clitoria ternatea or eggplant/tomato biotech.

12/27 Week 7 and looks like flower is here... yeah ... yeah thats it. VERY gradual transition into flower but Im calling it and switching to bloom nuets beginning about 750ppm and go up from there. Will continue to hit with Fish Sh!t weekly until we start getting serious buds. 12/28 Up nuets to same level are rest of tent. 12/31 The GC has surpassed the Fastberry in height and had to raise the lights an inch. 1/2 Tara has turned into a beast pics tomorrow Early Flower so last Kangaroots drench 10ml/gal added to feed and done to 35% runoff

Day 29 Growth is very rapid, the plant has become a nice ball shrub from the leaf tucking and training DWC will get changed tomorrow, she is drinking alot, maybe 2L a day PH nailed at 6.0, ppms start at 700 and go as low as 500 when about to change the pool I will be careful with water temperature. It is very cold here already up in the mountains Day 30 Growth is very nice. The DWC change went very well, and the plant is still loving the above nutrient mix. Remember to mix properly! Micro first, and really stir it in, then your others, stir them in very well, followed by your powder solution, stir it in very well, usually for 2-3 minutes in the bucket or 10L bottle. I like the shape of the plant Ive trained with basic leaf tucking and defoliation PH is solid steady at 6.0, yellow colour on the test Day 31 Growth is extreme in every direction. all limbs are growing upward and outward Still determining which training methods I will use for this one Just leaf tucking now for the shape to form Day 32 added 3L to the DWC, she is consuming nutrients really well... going in its ~680 ppm, testing 18 hours later, 400ppm this is a very hungry plant! still leaf tucking the main fan leafs for the branches to grow upward, is working very well defoliated the under side of the plant, removed all 1st and 2nd limb node leafs and branches, they will only runt out and grow larf in the long run. Day 33 Extreme growth after defoliation, added 2.5 Litres to the DWC, the plant is drinking 2-2.5 litres a day uploaded video of the setup and plant Day 34 Growing very well, expanding everywhere. I added 2 litres to the DWC. Day 35 Growing well, performed some light LST on the lower limbs to expand a bit Added 3 Litres to the DWC, this plant eats alot of nutrients

Video y fotos del día 47, se nota que los cogollos están engordando. Me preocupa un poco el calor que ronda los 30°C todo el día y la humedad algo alta, el problema es que el deshumidificador me sube mucho la temperatura, veremos como avanza y si puedo controlarlo. De todas formas las plantas están bien aunque algunas hojas bajas de la cheese se van secando y amarilleando, las voy quitando a medida que se debilitan.
