8/18 1:54 AM MONDAY goats are doing great. I took some clones. I think I’ll start some new ones. I’ve harvested all the other ones but I don’t feel like going through that process. 3AM looks good, there is a Bubbles Blueberry F4 that flipped and is ALL seed......the plants sucked but I have thousands of Bubbles seeds now, so thats something. 3:30 AM I found flowers on all of the bubbles blueberry F floor plants. I’ve never had other plants flower that the only ones that did that so I hate them. I will never grow them again.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 605AM. American Journal time on banned dot video...ALSO I MIGHT have pollenated Tyson Gelato 44 with Bubbles Blueberry F4....!!!!!!!!! Should I be happy or angry?????????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!update!!!!!! 8/19.....OH FUCK IT WAS ME....!!! the plants are normal, and fine. Stress Induced self seeding is NORMAL on F4's 845AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨⚡️ Combining Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely result in a strain with a complex and intriguing profile, blending the best characteristics of both parent strains. Here's what you could potentially expect: 1. Appearance Dense, resin-rich buds: Both strains are known for their dense and trichome-laden buds. Expect a cross to inherit this trait, potentially boasting exceptional resin production. Vibrant colors: Bubble's Blueberry F4 often exhibits beautiful blue and purple hues, which may be expressed in the cross, possibly alongside the deep greens and purples found in Gelato 44 phenotypes. 2. Aroma and flavor Sweet and fruity with creamy undertones: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is prized for its sweet, fresh blueberry aroma with hints of vanilla cream and a subtle earthiness. Gelato 44 has a complex terpene profile, often described as combining creamy, fruity aromas with a sweet, gassy smell and hints of vanilla, citrus, and mint. A cross could combine these, leading to a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor with prominent blueberry notes, potentially balanced with the gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint hints of Gelato 44. Diverse terpene profile: Gelato strains are known to contain terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and linalool, which contribute to a woody, peppery, spicy, relaxing, citrusy, and floral aroma. Pinene is the dominant terpene of Gelato 44. Bubble's Blueberry F4 boasts terpenes contributing to its sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and earthy, floral aroma. The cross would likely present a complex blend of these terpenes. 3. Effects Relaxing and euphoric: Both strains tend to offer relaxing and euphoric effects. Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as deeply relaxing, calming, and potentially sleepy, promoting introspection and potentially leading to a nap. Gelato 44 is reported to induce euphoria, relaxation, and happiness. It provides a body-centered high with relaxing effects, balanced with a clear-headed, creative, and euphoric experience. The cross could deliver a combination of these effects, starting with an uplifting euphoria and mental clarity, transitioning into deep physical relaxation without necessarily leading to heavy sedation. Potential for creativity and focus: Gelato 44 is often associated with promoting creativity and focus, while Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as inducing "slightly weird thoughts". The resulting strain might offer a unique blend of these mental effects, fostering creativity and introspection. Medicinal potential: Both strains are reported to help with stress relief, pain management, and mood enhancement. Gelato 44 is also used to help with insomnia. The cross could potentially offer a combined benefit for those seeking relief from these conditions. 4. Growth characteristics Compact and sturdy plants: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as a compact, sturdy plant with dark green, broad leaves and short internodal spacing. Gelato 44 plants grown indoors tend to be bushy and reach moderate heights of up to 120cm. The cross would likely exhibit a similar morphology, being adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments. Moderate flowering time and good yield: Bubble's Blueberry F4 has an indoor flowering time of 55-65 days. Gelato 44 flowers in 8 to 9 weeks. The resulting strain would likely have a moderate flowering time and could be a good yielder, depending on the phenotypes and growing conditions. In conclusion, a cross between Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely be a visually appealing plant with dense, resinous buds that may exhibit blue and purple hues. The aroma and flavor would be a delightful mix of sweet blueberries, vanilla cream, and potentially gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint notes. The effects would likely start with an uplifting euphoria, gradually transitioning into deep physical relaxation, while also promoting creativity and focus without necessarily inducing heavy sedation. This combination could make it a well-balanced strain for both recreational and medicinal use."" 950 MAKING A NEW STRAIN....I PUT THE MALES IN WITH THEM, WHY NOT?? 1145PM....NOTICING: across all plants, even Dark Opal Basil the Amino treatment system is showing little nails at the edges of the leaves. I dont know the name..where the glands are it looks like the leaf becomes sharper, and the glands at the tips of the edges look SHARPER, like growing little fingernails!!! What the hell is that??? ENLARGED GLANDS ON LEAF SURFACE??!! WITH AMINO, WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? I ASKED.....WOW!!!!!!!!! HEY HEY I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY.....YOU'RE WELCOME.🚨 ""Could the system im working on be used to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed in commercial farming. Could it help the world?Thought for 43sPotential for Reducing Nitrogen Fertilizer in Commercial Farming Yes, the system you're working on—a nutrient mix combining base fertilizers like Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Grow with amino acid-based biostimulants (e.g., EAA, proline, L-glutamine, Setria Glutathione, TMG, and L-glycine)—has strong potential to be adapted for reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs in commercial farming beyond cannabis. While your mix is tailored for autoflower cannabis, the core principle of using amino acids and biostimulants to enhance nutrient efficiency is well-supported in broader agriculture. These compounds act as biostimulants that improve plant uptake of N, boost stress tolerance, and promote growth with less inorganic N input, potentially cutting fertilizer use by 20-30% or more while maintaining or increasing yields.""" 🚨🚨🚨⚡️Could It Help the World? Absolutely—reducing N fertilizer globally through systems like yours could have profound positive impacts on the environment, economy, and food security. Nitrogen fertilizers are essential for feeding the world but contribute to pollution, with nearly two-thirds of applied N becoming environmental waste. Optimized biostimulant approaches could cut usage by up to 32% while sustaining crop production, addressing multiple global issues. Environmental Benefits: Less N reduces runoff causing eutrophication (algal blooms killing aquatic life), air pollution (e.g., ammonia emissions), soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion. It also lowers greenhouse gas emissions—fertilizer production and use account for ~2% of global GHGs, exacerbating climate change. Economic and Social Gains: Farmers save on fertilizer costs (a major expense), with co-benefits like higher yields under stress improving food security for billions. Reduced N loss enhances soil health long-term, supporting sustainable farming and human health by minimizing pollution-related diseases. Global Scale: If widely adopted, it could redistribute N more equitably (e.g., from over-fertilized regions like China to under-fertilized Africa), maintaining grain production while cutting pollution. Organizations like FAO emphasize improving NUE to combat climate and biodiversity crises. In summary, your system aligns with emerging biostimulant strategies that could significantly cut N use in farming, offering real-world help by fostering sustainable agriculture and mitigating environmental harm. Scaling it would require field trials, but the potential is promising.""🚨. 8/19 439AM I needed a smoking jacket 60's costume and a mini wagon to fall off of....l..AND I GOT BOTH BABY...IM WEIRD ON A WHOLE NUVA LEVAL 8/19 530AM DID.

This mix is tailored for the flowering stage of autoflowers (likely weeks 4-8), aiming to support bud development, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production (e.g., cannabinoids and terpenes). Below, I evaluate the mix’s efficacy, dosing, and potential impacts based on cannabis research, plant physiology, and grower insights, addressing your goal of reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs and optimizing autoflower performance. #### Components and Their Roles 1. **Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B (1.5 ml/L each, 3 ml/L total)**: - **Purpose**: Designed for the flowering phase, Bloom A & B provide a lower N, higher P-K ratio (e.g., ~2-4-7) compared to Grow A & B, plus secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg) and chelated micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn). At 1.5 ml/L, it’s about 37.5% of the full strength (4 ml/L each), delivering moderate nutrients (EC ~0.8-1.2 mS/cm) suitable for autoflowers in early to mid-flower, minimizing N overload while supporting bud formation. - **Effects**: Promotes dense bud growth, resin production, and flower site development without excessive vegetative growth. The pH Perfect technology stabilizes pH (5.5-6.5), reducing lockout and deficiencies (e.g., Ca/Mg-related spotting). Growers report 10-20% denser buds and improved aroma at this dose in hydro/coco. - **Suitability**: Ideal for autoflowers in flower (weeks 4-6), as it avoids high N that could cause “clawing” (as you previously observed) while providing P-K for bud bulking. 2. **Biostimulant Stack** (per 2 L solution): - **Proline (400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Osmoprotectant; reduces oxidative stress (ROS), enhances drought/salinity tolerance, and stabilizes enzymes. Supports terpene/cannabinoid production by protecting cells during flower stress. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.74 mM) is within the effective range (100-300 mg/L) from plant stress studies. Cannabis trials suggest it mitigates heat/light stress, enhancing resin quality. Good dose for autos in flower. - **Setria L-Glutathione (250 mg, 125 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Antioxidant; scavenges ROS, protects photosynthesis, and detoxifies heavy metals. Enhances yield and bud quality by reducing oxidative damage during flowering. - **Dose Evaluation**: 125 mg/L is safe and effective (100-300 mg/L in plant studies). Aligns with maize trials showing yield protection under stress. Well-suited for autos without risking buildup. - **L-Glycine (500 mg, 250 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Precursor for glutathione and proteins; detoxifies heavy metals, supports root health, and enhances nutrient uptake (e.g., Ca). Reduces toxicity in contaminated soils and boosts flower resilience. - **Dose Evaluation**: 250 mg/L is within the effective range (100-500 mg/L). Higher than your previous mix (100 mg/L), but still safe; supports GSH synthesis and complements glutathione. - **TMG (Trimethylglycine, 400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Methyl donor and osmoprotectant; enhances heat/drought tolerance, membrane stability, and terpene gene expression. Supports bud density and aroma. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.7 mM) matches plant study ranges (200-500 mg/L). Higher than your prior 100 mg/L, enhancing stress protection without osmotic imbalance. #### Combined Effects This mix is well-tailored for autoflower cannabis in the flowering phase, balancing low-N bloom nutrients with biostimulants to maximize bud quality and resilience: - **Bud Development and Yield**: Connoisseur Bloom’s P-K focus drives dense bud formation, while proline, glutathione, and TMG protect against flower-stage stresses (e.g., high light, heat), potentially increasing yield by 15-30% (e.g., 150-300 g/plant in hydro/coco). Glycine enhances nutrient uptake, supporting larger calyxes. - **Terpene and Cannabinoid Quality**: TMG and proline upregulate terpene synthesis (e.g., limonene, myrcene), enhancing aroma and resin. Glutathione reduces oxidative damage, preserving cannabinoid stability (THCA/CBDA). No EAA in this mix avoids N-driven potency reduction. - **Stress Resilience**: Glutathione and proline scavenge ROS, while TMG and glycine bolster osmotic and metal stress tolerance. This is critical for autoflowers, which are prone to stunting in flower under environmental swings. - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glycine and TMG enhance uptake of Connoisseur’s chelated nutrients (e.g., Ca, Mg), reducing N needs by improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This aligns with your goal of reducing N fertilizer in commercial farming. - **Microbial Support**: Glycine fosters beneficial microbes, synergizing with Connoisseur’s organics for root health in coco/soil. #### Dose Evaluation - **Total Biostimulant Load**: 1550 mg in 2 L = 775 mg/L total (200 mg/L proline, 125 mg/L glutathione, 250 mg/L glycine, 200 mg/L TMG). This is within safe limits. 8/22 4:13 AM took a video of both of the Tyson gelato plants and the bubbles plant is in there with them. They all have pollen so I may have crossed pollinate it successfully. I won’t know for a while but everyone’s doing great and remember the two Tyson plants were poorly germinated and grew in one pot and I ripped them in two pieces not thinking they would survive and they both did and they both grow very well considering and they didn’t have any signs of stress. They didn’t grow male flowers. They’ve just been completely strong.👍👍👍👍🥊🥊🥊🥊 8/22 11:20 PM. I dried some Tyson gelato overnight. I grind some up and it has the most amazing smell. I can’t even describe really what it is. I’ve never smelled this in a plant before I didn’t know this was possible and I’m kind of old and beat up, so my smell doesn’t work, but it’s almost like cream of wheat cereal with maple syrup. It’s the craziest thing it’s just absolutely beautiful.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊👍👍👍👍👍

Welcome to week 13🤠 This week I have been doing a bit of LST every day, so I've been bussy. I have also trimmed her a litlle bit, but not to much She's comming to a halt in growth, so very soon the buds will start swelling up They have a very sweet smell, something like vitamin drinks, and the buds are getting sticky Watered her with ph7.21 water, run-off water was at ph6.39, So I still have to raise the pH Weather was worm this week and very sunny, but it should cool down again She's very symnetrical and beautiful, I really like relaxing next to her❤️ I've also got all the material for my drying box, so hopefully I'll make it soon And I'll be making a small roof so my harvest doesn't get ruined So I think this is all to be said, I'll edit this week if I forgot to say something or made some mistakes Otherewise see you soon!🤠🤠

Day 36 she keeps stretching and looks very happy i'm also very happy because soil PH is finally good, now it's 6.5PH after watering with 5.2 PH'ed water(with nutes in it) for the last several waterings. Light is 30cm away from the canopy ~850 PPFD Cut some leaves from center of the canopy for better air circulation and light penetration. Day 38 : watered with 2.5 L of water with nutes and 5.6 PH water, runoff water PH is now perfect 6.5 Day 39: She's been stretching very well, can't wait to deflate already(maybe tomorrow) Day 40: deefoliation day finally has come! And i'm so happy how she turned out after all. I did some LST to even out canopy for better light penetration and air movement! Note: she uses much Calcium - Magnesium (cal-mag) soo you definitely need to add it in your water.

For the first time, I tried working with enzymes in the irrigation water. These are supposed to break down dead roots and plant material in the soil and make it available to the plant as food. I'm curious to see how it goes. After the first three weeks of light changeover the flower transformation is done. Now it is the right time for defoliation and lollopoping. In case cherry high lollipopping wasn’t necessary I only removed one or two popcorn buds and a few leaves. Light Power: 100% Day 72 Flower day 29 Photoshooting Defoliaton

It's been dropping into the low 30s here at night. I have no choice but to pull cold air into the top of my grow tent at night to maintain 75 to 80 degrees. The cool air is having a fall like effect on the leaves. Also think my fox farm soil is finally low on nutes. So I started mixing in my compost tea. The Lemon Haze is beginning to develop a very pleasant Lemon Aroma :D I find myself enjoying the smell more and more each day.

Hey guys :-) A few days ago the seeds were germinated. I will put one for the Spring Cup and two in an extra diary. The reason why I planted 3 seeds right away is because the runtz is a very interesting variety (Skittlez x Gelato) 😍. And I will take cuttings from all of them, ubd hope to have a beautiful mother 🙏🏻🌱. The seed was planted in Canna Bio. That contains enough food for the first 1-2 weeks before repotting that I only have to mix the Monster Bud Mix when repotting :-) I wish everyone a nice week 👍👌🌱.

After two more failed attempts to germinate another "anonymous", I decided to germinate a Sour Strawberry, which popped and started growing. It was now about 4 weeks behind the other plants, which had me somewhat worried, because of the limited tent space, and the AutoPots, which I can not turn on for a while now. I also topped GMO and Glookies.

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

Thanks for checking out my grow! This is the 4th or 5th strain I’ve ran by 34 Street Seed Co. I have yet to be disappointed, great genetics for a fair price. This Pink Lemonade strain has tested in the 30% cannabinoid range with crazy terps, all from other Home Growers! This will be one of my submissions for the 2023- 34 Street Grow Cup, Can’t wait 🇨🇦👊❤️ I started as usual by soaking my seeds for about 6 hours in a glass of distilled water, then planted directly into the substrate about a 1/2 inch into the starter pot. I dialed my light back to about 100 watts from the wall, and raised it to about 40 inches above the pots. I covered the pots with domes, and set my humidifier to run non-stop. 30 hours later , they had all sprouted ❤️

Ladies are on beast mode! Friday they got 4 cups of 4-4-4 Gaia green and 8gal of compost tea. I did some super cropping as there getting pretty tall and I don’t want them over the fence and at this rate there going to be! Hopefully if everything goes as planned I’ll have the boards or at least some to put up the next time I come home. We’re now into the 10 foot in diameter cages, a few branches started poking thru just the other day. These girls are going to be bigger then last year that’s for sure there already way bigger. We’ll see what next week looks like after some hst thanks for stoppin in.
