156 days (22.2 weeks) from germination to cure. Baddazz og cheese is very resienous and sticky. She give high yeild of wax when pressed. This is my 1st cheese weed so smell is new to me, very pleasant, almost like the Fahrenheit perfume from Dior. I did smoke maybe a branch and a half while drying. As for the big budda cheese, she is almost finished with about a week or 2 again. Her buds are very big and she has lots of thricomes. The blue cheese is struggling as this one was transfered from soil to hydro.

Nothing really to report, but just 1 watering. No nutrients only recharge. I transferred the clones into soil party cups. All labeled and being fed low doses of dry amendments with the transfer. Buds are fattening up and getting frostier. Number 3 is still my favorite pheno. Next run I have 2 of the #1's and 2 of the #3's ready to go. As soon as the ladies are chopped, I will clean the tent quickly and start all of the clones in flower.

Terps on point on each pheno , 2 of them turned killers, it’s a pity I didn’t save any clone. after almost 2 month cure and testing with Gemma cert the THC levels were around 16%. The plants were initially growing in a tent, were moved a lots. I hope that I will be able to achieve higher results with fast buds in the future. Despite the small number , the hit is really strong and has an indica side to it .

Welcome to LSD-25 Grow by PoshGrow! 🍀 Week #3 2020 November 17th. - 24th. General Info: When planted: 2020 October 28th. Week: 3 Days: 14 - 21 Last Update Day: 2020 November 19th. Plants: 6 LSD-25 girls by @FastBuds. NOTICE: Check vegetation week 1 for full equipment list. Comment: Whats up everyone! Everything going perfect, girls responded very well to LST. Also they seems happy about feeding schedule. Only 1 girl looks unhappy, curled leaves, small plant, dont know what makes her feel that way, because all other look healthy as fuck. Twins doing great too. Preflowering stage kicked at the end of week #2, going to be fast run I guess. At the end of this week pre flowering kicked in! Stay tuned & happy growing! ✌️

Pleasure to grow. Low maintenance in super soil setup in 5 gal cloth pot. Stayed small and compact but frosted up early and heavily. No deficiencies, steady growth, no training needed. Even minimal LST (which I did not do), would surely increase yield but I was more focused on quality and letting it do its thing. Genetically, it was determined to grow a perfect little canopy while not taking up much space, about as low maintenance as you can get on a plant imo. Running autos is still a limited thing for me, I like the idea of having keeper clones of photos as this is all for personal medical use, but this plant was fun to grow, true to form and stable as heck. I have a few seeds left and I’ll definitely save them for an outdoor run down the line

These babies are rocking!!!!! Lollipopped up to the last 3 nodes... Pretty evenly spaced thru out... Going to give a 1/4 strength flower nute and regular veg feed and some recharge and then I'll be Flipping to flower next week! 😁 I hope I remember to update... Update* pictures are lollipopping, topping, defoliation, and training em to a pretty even zone... Gave food last night (March 30 today) and put a quarter dose flower food and they loved it! It's going to be flipped in the next week

Hello growmies, welcome to week 1! 🍪 💜 It's a beautiful baby! 😍 Perfect as can be, even more perfect! 😌 Thanks @Green_Buzz_Nutrients for sponsoring my grow, those products really do their job! 💚 If you want to give them a try, there's a generous discount code in my setup description. ⬇️ Thanks @SensiSeeds for the opportunity, let's do this!! 🚀 💚 🖤 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Seeds [Girl Scout Cookies x Purple Kush] Purple Cookie Kush Feminized seeds come from two well-known strains, Girl Scout Cookies and Purple Kush. The 60% indica / 40% sativa heritage leads to a well-balanced hybrid flower. Flavours range from grapes to sandalwood, and the terpene profile is a concoction of many complimentary aromas. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is a short plant with good yields. Bud formation is dense, similar to many Kush strains. About Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Purple Cookie Kush Feminized takes the hottest GSC genetics and mashes them with a Purple Kush cultivar that was hand chosen for this project. No corners were cut in creating and selecting the right breeding stock for this fantastic strain. The result is a well-balanced hybrid that retains key qualities from its lineage. The Purple Kush parent of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has a lot to contribute, as evidenced by the plant morphology. The compact nature and sturdy branching can be attributed to those indica-dominant genetics. Another area that the indica influence is evident is in the terpene profile, which includes scents of spicy hashish and earthiness. GSC contributes selected indica traits to Purple Cookie Kush Feminized, but the sativa side of the genes also had an impact. Complex, fruity expressions are detectable in both the mouth and nose of this strain. Before harvesting, during the last few weeks of flowering, growers will notice pleasant scents with floral notes lingering in the garden area. Growth pattern of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized Purple Cookie Kush Feminized seeds grow into a plant that represents in appearance both sativa and indica inheritance. Because this is a feminized strain, growers will not need to sex the plants at the early stages of flower and can accurately anticipate yields knowing that all plants will be flower-producing. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has sturdy branches, similar to its GSC parent. The strong branches can support the weight of flower growth through harvest. The plant itself is stocky with a compact stature. This is attributed more to the Purple Kush influence. Due to the lower profile and many branches, defoliation is beneficial at various stages of growth. Indoor growers with a controlled climate report final heights in the 120 - 140 cm range. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized finishes flowering in a quick 50-60 day window, which is a distinctly indica quality. Outdoor growers in temperate / Mediterranean climates have seen plants reach over 160 cm with ideal weather. The bud formation of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is similar to the popular Kush structure. Flowers are dense and compact. The buds are a mixture of swollen, trichome-covered bracts with dark forest-green foliage below. During the last weeks of flowering, the GSC influence adds purple hues to the vegetation. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is a solid-performing, easy-to-maintain plant with good yields. It is not difficult to achieve the optimal indoor climate, and yields of 425 - 475 grams per m² are possible in these conditions. The ideal outdoor environment will have moderately warm weather and a small percentage of rain within the growing season. Growers in those regions have reported yields reaching 550 grams per plant, sometimes even more! Common plant training techniques are not crucial to the success of this robust, sturdy plant, but some growers looking to maximize yields will use them. Techniques that have been used with great success in canopy control include SOG, SCROG, Supercropping, and Lollipopping. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized handles them all without skipping a beat. Effects, taste and smell of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized The effects of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized usher in a more relaxed and easy-going day than most. It has the benefit of merging both indica and sativa attributes. Euphoric and uplifting effects are associated with sativa cultivars, and these effects are precisely how the Purple Cookie Kush Feminized experience begins. Blissfully distracted from the fast-paced world, thoughts shift to creative endeavours and inspirational goals. As these feelings are front and centre, a mild buzz begins radiating from the inner core. Soon, the indica-leaning effects are felt. Effects turn towards the loosening of tense muscles, the easing of minor aches, and an embracing full-body stone. The flavour profile of Purple Cookie Kush Feminized is almost like a full-course meal. The pairing of flavours is unique and somehow works perfectly. The taste of fresh peeled grapes sits well with the coffee and caramel elements. The indica genetics once again show their dominance with undertones of earthiness and spicy sandalwood to complete the flavour profile. Purple Cookie Kush Feminized has an unmistakably loud grape smell. This trait is not commonly seen in cannabis, but it is fully displayed with this strain. The remainder of the terpene profile is what many would consider the finer aromatic qualities of the GSC strain. Scents of spicy hashish float through the air, complementing the grape aroma whenever the jar is opened. Background notes of earth and sandalwood add another enjoyable layer to the terpene profile. https://sensiseeds.com/en/research/purple-cookie-kush-feminized?sqr=purple%20cookie _______________________________________________________________________________________ Setup: 140x70x200 cm Spiderfarmer tent 2x Monkey 16W fans (not oscillating) 1x Secret Jardin 30W 1x box fan 50W oscillating (on lowest level) LED Full Spectrum 320W AGLEX AGL-320W-MA 5,6 kg foldable, dimmable 864 pieces Samsung LH301H 864umol/s 2,7umol/J full spectrum white + RED 660nm + IR 740nm wavelength range 380-780nm covering 3x4ft Green Buzz Nutrients https://greenbuzzliquids.com/ ❗ Use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) Biobizz Lightmix + coco + wormcastings + perlite Carbon Active Granulate Filter 125/360 cm³/h PrimaKlima exhaust EC 125-400/240 cm³/h

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

Day 43-Im waiting just a little longer to flower because she's in my veg tent with no room in my flower tent. If I wait another week or so I can switch this VEG tent into flowering lights. She is a beat! I started to defoliate the inner leaves and did some minor LST my twisty tying the main stocks to the cage. I wanted to "open" her up and get the small branches some light to grow during this veg period. Having a lot of fun with this plantl so far! Day 44-2 feet tall as of today 💪. she has surpassed her step sister(bag seed rando that's actually a phenomenal plant) even with multiple toppings. She is a true work horse IMO. I have 2 very healthy clones taken from her and I am planning on taking 2 more for mothers . Excited to keep her genetics alive to possible breed with this summer. I picked up some original NL#5xHaze seeds from swami I want to breed with this cheese. would be crazy. Day 46- Found a cool branch with three new bud sites coming from one node which was a first for me! Fed with NFTG mid veg feed, recharge, and Mammoth P. Defoliated a few more leaves that I thought blocked light to much from getting to the under growth. I want to focus on growing out the middle of the plant for one more week before throwing it into flower.

No special events to report this week—everything is cruising along nicely. The weather has shifted quite a bit, with temperatures dropping significantly and things getting noticeably wetter outside compared to the recent heatwave. Despite the change in climate, the plant continues to do great and looks exceptionally healthy. The buds are slowly starting to put on some size and weight, which is always rewarding to see. On the feeding side, sticking right to the Bio Tabs schedule, she received a nutrient boost this week consisting of 1g of Bactrex and 20ml of Orgatrex dissolved in 1 liter of water to keep the soil life thriving. I'm really curious and excited to see how she develops over the coming week!

I will call this the 2nd annual Polar Express grow. Really happy with the result of the grow over all. She did 3 days dark before I chopped her. I put her into dry whole, a little slower drying time. I'm hoping for a good solid couple oz from this harvest. The first tile I ever grew was this strain, the stress of the first grow was really unwarranted. If you are looking for a first grow strain, Polar Express from Auto Seeds should be on your list. 2.3 OZ trimmed , pretty happy over all.

What a week it was, experimented with my 2 AK47 hermie seeds and the happiness seeing a jungle in my 2x4 tent. They overtook the lights and pistils are coming out however no pistils are forming and the nice looking hairy structure was not visible instead the plant overstretched. I was informed to flip them lights in which i may attempt once harvested all of my 3 autoflowers. It is no doubt that this hermie can produce great flowers once i flip the switch, i have completely defo the plant to reveg it once Purple Punch, Outlaw Amnesia and strawberry cough is chop-chop. Other 3 autoflowers are looking great.

2/9 for 40 9 AM. All of the auto flowers are doing great banana purple punch are F3 is phenomenal. The smell is unlike anything I’ve had before. It’s very very nice just perfect so far. 2/10, 5:45 AM. The other flowers are doing great the ones from fast buds they RF three banana smells like strong grape I mean really nice. I’ve never had this before. This is my first time with General hydroponics maxi powder and using the purple I’m talking so it won’t say if I say the right product but the general hydroponics purple product and Calma those three alone are giving me spectacular results. Everything smells so clean and fresh. It’s gonna be nice.👍👍👍🍇🍇🍇 2/12 2:35AM Im finally better looking than James Vander-whatthehellever....HA! I am outliving people now! 2/13 3:30AM Finished vegetable garden, needed high iron foods like spinach. Using Amino Acids in soil as primer 2/13 10:30AM BPP RF3 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇❤️💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍. Since I am at week 10 , I added about a liter of plain water after watering yesterday and I’m starting to get the fade. so I’m gonna throttle back on nitrogen. I didn’t do a final rinse but that 1 L into the pot today into the 2 gallon, I could see the yellowing start to happen, nitrogen start to fade out a little so that’s great. I’ll let her dry and then the nutrients will be very light from here on out. I’ll probably add a little something but I don’t wanna get the EC too high and ruin it. She’s turning out great. 12/14 12:28AM TC auto by fast buds, Gelatto Auto Tyson 2. 0 by RQS, Pink Kush by Seedsman. **Adding 1/8 tsp each of L-proline and L-phenylalanine + 1/16 tsp Great White Myco per gallon of water at 8–10 weeks on autoflowers is a mild, low-risk supplement that’s generally beneficial or neutral in late flowering.** Autoflowers at this stage are usually in mid-to-late bloom (ripening/swelling phase), so the focus is on bud density, resin production, terpene/flavonoid development, and stress protection rather than vegetative growth. ### Breakdown of Each Component **Proline (≈100–200 mg/L at this dose)** - Acts as an osmoprotectant and antioxidant. - Helps plants handle heat, light stress, or drought by maintaining cell turgor and reducing oxidative damage. - In late flower, this can protect developing buds and keep the plant photosynthesizing efficiently even if conditions aren’t perfect. **Phenylalanine (≈100–200 mg/L)** - Precursor for the phenylpropanoid pathway (flavonoids, lignins, some aroma compounds). - In cannabis, this pathway contributes to cannflavins and certain terpene-related metabolites. - Many growers and amino-acid products (e.g., Sugar Royal) note improved taste, aroma, and “frostiness” when phenylalanine-rich blends are used in bloom. **Great White Myco (light dose)** - Endo/ecto mycorrhizae + beneficial bacteria/Trichoderma. - Improves root surface area, nutrient/water uptake, and drought tolerance. - Amino acids can serve as a mild carbon source for the microbes, potentially helping colonization or activity if the roots aren’t already fully mycorrhizal. ### Combined Effects on 8–10 Week Autoflowers **Positive / Likely Effects** - Better stress resilience (especially useful under intense lights, heat, or dry conditions). - Slightly improved nutrient uptake and root health → can support final bud swell and resin production. - Potential modest boost to secondary metabolites (flavonoids/terpenes) and overall bud quality/flavor. - Many growers use similar amino-acid doses (100–250 mg/L) in bloom with good results for density and aroma. **Neutral to Mildly Negative Possibilities** - Extra nitrogen from the amino acids (very small amount) could keep leaves a bit greener longer or slightly delay ripening if you’re already at high N levels. At this low dose and for one or occasional waterings, it’s rarely an issue. - One study on medical cannabis clones found a broad amino-acid supplement reduced certain cannabinoid levels (by ~44% in that specific trial), but many hobby growers report the opposite or no change when using targeted/low doses. - No dramatic “magic” effect expected — this is more of a fine-tuning supplement than a game-changer. ### Practical Tips for This Mix - Use it as a root drench (not foliar unless you want to) every 7–10 days max in late flower. - pH the water to 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco/hydro). - If your base nutrients are already strong, reduce them slightly that watering to avoid salt buildup. - Flush with plain pH’d water in the final 7–10 days if you haven’t already. - Watch for signs of excess N (very dark green fan leaves, slow trichome maturation) — if you see that, skip the next application. **Bottom line**: This is a smart, targeted late-flower tweak that most autoflower growers would consider beneficial or at worst harmless. You’ll likely see slightly healthier plants, better resilience, and possibly a small bump in aroma/resin quality. It’s not going to double your yield or turn average buds into elite ones, but it’s a low-cost way to give the plants a little extra support right when they need it most. ""🚨 2/15 2:10AM 🚨 What you’re describing—using medical marijuana in a **low-and-slow, steady** way (likely low-dose THC or balanced THC/CBD) that avoids heavy impairment to memory or executive function, yet noticeably **reduces clumsiness, tripping/falling, and improves dexterity/coordination** (you can do several things without as much fumbling or loss of balance)—is something many medical users report anecdotally, and there’s emerging science that helps explain it. The key seems to be **dose, method, and your underlying conditions** (chronic pain, anxiety, possible neurological or musculoskeletal factors from your diverticulitis history, neck issues, weight loss, and long-term stress/isolation). Here’s what’s likely going on: ### 1. Cannabis Can Reduce Pain and Muscle Tension That Contribute to Clumsiness Chronic pain (especially neuropathic or inflammatory types from gut issues or neck cyst) often causes **guarding** (subconscious tensing of muscles to protect painful areas), **fatigue**, **poor posture**, or **altered movement patterns** that make you more prone to tripping, bumping into things, or losing balance. Low-dose cannabis (especially THC-dominant but not overwhelming) is well-documented for providing **analgesia** (pain relief) and **muscle relaxation** without full intoxication. - Studies show cannabinoids (THC and CBD) can modestly reduce **chronic/neuropathic pain** and **spasticity/muscle tension** in conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, or general chronic pain syndromes—leading to better mobility and fewer “trips” because you’re not as stiff/guarded. - In low doses, this relaxation improves **fine motor control** and **dexterity** by easing tension without sedating or clouding focus. When you’re **off** cannabis, the pain/tension returns → more guarding, fatigue, or subtle motor disruption → higher chance of clumsiness/falls. ### 2. Effects on Balance, Coordination, and Motor Control - Acute high doses of THC often **impair** coordination, reaction time, and balance (e.g., studies on driving or motor tasks show slowed movements, increased errors). - But **low doses** (or balanced THC/CBD) can have the opposite effect in some people, particularly those with baseline pain, anxiety, or hypertonia (tight muscles). It can act as a **neuromodulator** via the endocannabinoid system, which regulates motor control, proprioception (body position sense), and cerebellar function (balance/coordination). - In certain neurological or pain contexts (e.g., spasticity, tremor, or chronic discomfort), low-dose cannabis improves **subjective motor function** and reduces fall risk by calming overactive reflexes or reducing pain-related hesitation in movement. Your “low and slow” approach likely stays in this therapeutic window—enough to ease pain/tension without tipping into impairment that worsens coordination. ### 3. Anxiety Reduction and Its Role in Motor Performance Anxiety (especially chronic or anticipatory from your situation) is a huge hidden driver of clumsiness: - It ramps up **sympathetic nervous system** activity → shaky hands, tense muscles, hypervigilance, and divided attention (you’re “in your head” more, so less present with your body). - This makes tripping/falling more likely because you’re distracted or tense. Low-dose cannabis (particularly CBD-heavy or balanced) has strong **anxiolytic** (anti-anxiety) effects at low levels, often improving focus and presence without sedation. Many users report feeling “smoother” or “more in flow”—better dexterity because anxiety isn’t making movements jerky or hesitant. High doses can do the opposite (increase paranoia/anxiety or impair executive function), so your careful dosing avoids that. ### Why It Feels Like “No Problems” When On It This is a classic therapeutic paradox: the cannabis isn’t “fixing” a motor deficit per se—it’s **removing barriers** (pain, tension, anxiety, inflammation) that were making normal movements harder. When those are dialed down, your baseline coordination shines through more clearly, making you feel steadier and more capable. Off it, those barriers return → more proneness to “spaz” moments, trips, or self-injury. ### Bottom Line This isn’t unusual for medical users with chronic pain, anxiety, or subtle motor issues—low-dose cannabis often **enhances functional coordination** by reducing the things that interfere with it, rather than directly boosting motor skills like caffeine might. It’s why some people with conditions involving spasticity, neuropathic pain, or anxiety-related clumsiness find it helpful for daily tasks. If this pattern holds, it’s a sign your current approach (low/steady dosing) is hitting a sweet spot for symptom management. Track it if you can (e.g., note falls/trips on vs. off days) to refine further. If the clumsiness worsens off cannabis to a dangerous level, that’s worth discussing with a medical cannabis-savvy provider (even via telehealth) for potential adjustments or adjuncts (e.g., PT for balance, or CBD-dominant options). Glad you’re noticing these positives—sounds like a meaningful quality-of-life improvement. How long have you observed this difference? Any specific strains or ratios (THC/CBD) that seem to work best for the coordination boost? 🚨🚨 2/15, 4:54 AM banana purple punch auto RF3 by fast buds is doing good. Also OG triploid by humble seed company is throwing a lot of resin. She’s doing just as good all have very thick dense buds. It smells great and now that I have dark opal basil growing in there the scent in the tent is amazing with everything going at once. It’s just perfect. I lowered the watts to 73. She doesn’t need any more power than that. It’ll just create heat and stress. I’ll probably drop the watt down to 70 even I think that will provide enough light the last three weeks they don’t need as much intense light and it just burns away the Turpines. 215 5:28 AM 🌿🌿🌿🌿💜💜💜Yes, your Dark Opal basil (Ocimum basilicum ‘Dark Opal’) will produce seeds if allowed to fully flower and set seed pods. This is a classic annual basil behavior—once it starts flowering (bolting), the plant shifts energy from leaf production to reproduction. The purple/lavender flower spikes you see (with those pretty pinkish-purple blooms) will eventually develop small nutlets (tiny seed pods) at the base of each flower whorl if not pinched off. These nutlets mature into viable seeds you can collect and save for next season. Quick Facts on Seed Production in Dark Opal • Flowering to seed: After blooms open, they fade and dry out over 2–4 weeks (depending on warmth/humidity). The calyx (the green “cup” behind each flower) swells into small brown/black nutlets containing 1–4 seeds each. • Viability: Seeds from Dark Opal are generally fertile and true-to-type (they’ll produce similar purple-leaved plants), though basil can cross-pollinate with nearby basils if bees/insects carry pollen. Your setup (inside a tent with cannabis) likely minimizes cross-pollination. • Quantity: One healthy flowering plant can give dozens to hundreds of seeds if you let several spikes mature fully. • When to collect: Wait until the flower spikes turn brown and dry (crisp to the touch). Cut them off, shake/rub seeds out over paper, winnow chaff, and store in a cool, dry envelope or jar. Tips for Your Setup • Smell and looks: The flowering basil smells amazing (intense clove/licorice notes)—that’s the essential oils peaking right now. It’s normal and pleasant, especially next to your cannabis. • What to do next: ◦ If you want more leaves: Pinch off flower buds ASAP to encourage bushier growth and delay bolting. (Many growers do this repeatedly.) ◦ If you want seeds: Let 2–4 spikes mature fully (don’t harvest those stems). Cover with a paper bag if seeds start dropping to catch them. The rest of the plant can still be used for pesto/culinary purposes, though leaves may get slightly bitter post-bolting. ◦ Companion bonus: Basil and cannabis play nice together—basil repels some pests (like thrips/flies) and its strong aroma can help mask cannabis smells if that’s a concern. Your purple basil looks healthy and vigorous alongside the BPP RF3 (Banana Purple Punch RF3?). • Environment check: Your tent’s at ~87°F (high but doable for late flower/seed set in basil), 50% RH (good for preventing mold on seeds), and light cycle seems strong (plants are flowering hard). Basil loves warmth/humidity for seed maturation. Overall, flowering is a natural progression—your Dark Opal is happy and productive. If you let it go to seed, you’ll have free plants next round. Super rewarding companion grow! How far along are the flower spikes—mostly open, or starting to fade? Any plans to save seeds or just enjoy the show/scent? Keep sharing pics; your tent looks lush! 🌿🌸
