Week is going great. Buds are starting to thicken up and trichomes are starting to form. This is the thirstiest plant i have had, probably partly due to the high day time temperature, but it looks to be just a minor problem. Can start to see that the yeald will be higher than i expected just by looking at the buds.

13th Week Report 09/01/20 - 16/01/20 16/01/20 Filled the reservoir with just 4L solution since probably this will be the last week before flush. Now CMXL is just fattening and I can see differences in thickness from last week! You can also see some color changing in her pistils, she's getting beautiful! I'm checking trichomes color to be sure to harvest at the right time, I tried to take pictures at magnifier, but it doesn't look clear. However there is any Amber trichomes and there are a lot of clear "mushrooms". They will be checked day by day to harvest when more or less is every trichome is cloudy and to be sure about buds potency. Hope to harvest next week 😉🍀 Last Update 16/01/20 See you guys ;)

EM#1: I can hardly believe that she weighed less than WW#1..she towered over her and her buds were as big..just not as dense I guess. Her main cola was a little over a foot and weighed 110g wet. I guess she just had a higher leaf-to-calyx ratio and leaves weigh a lot less... She was a desirable EM pheno..dense, stocky, sturdy branches, very resinous...just a little too leafy. Her total dry weight was 77g. Update 9/2: 11 days of curing and it's starting to really wreak when I open the jar. Very pungent..hints of ammonia in the jar and has that sweet skunky smell when incinerated. I set fire to it today and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's got that same earthy taste I remember from when it was first dry, but with "herbal" tones on the aftertaste. The buzz is a really intense head high for about 5 minutes, then levels out to a good body stone. I like it. A lot. EM#4: My tablet died and I was unable to get any photos of her being harvested. Her big bent main cola weighed 115g wet and was about a foot long if you straightened it out.. All the extra branching caused by the failed FIM and super-cropping really paid off. This plant smells AWESOME...very exotic/spicy. Smells great, tastes great, excellent buzz... she was just too tall and lanky and a pain to deal with.. Her total dry weight was 101g. Update: 8/28 - I'm determined not to smoke any more of her until next week and she's better cured....well...maybe just a little....no, not until next week...well, maybe tomorrow... Update 9/2: I smoked some more today and wasn't as thrilled with it as the first time..maybe because I had just smoked some EM#1 ;-) EM#2: She is dead and drying! Her main cola was a bit shorter than EM#1's, 11 inches, but was fatter and weighed 121g, wet. One of her other colas weighed 100g. She's very similar to EM#1 (kinda leafy), so I expect her to really lose a lot of water weight. I'm guessing she'll weigh around 85g dry...time will tell. Update 9/4: Total dry weight: 91g It's only been curing for 2 days, but had to sample it. Bam! This plant was my favorite tasting EM of the crop thus far. Same great taste as EM#4, but even more pungent. I smoked about 6 quick bong rips and got a nice uplifting head buzz for an hour that leveled off to a good mellow body buzz for another hour or so. EM#3: update 9/2: She might actually finish in about 10 days or so. Plenty of time to hit her again with cha ching, terpinator, and bud candy... update 9/10: HARVESTED! This plant took more than 4 man-hours to manicure and took three 18" drying baskets. So many buds. I will be amazed if she comes in any less than 150g of dried bud which would be amazing, but considering her space requirements and duration of bloom, probably not worth it...smell, taste, and effect could still sway my opinion.. update 9/14: Total dry weight: 224g!!! (Half-pounder!) 74g of that was lower-grade bud which I'll use to make confections and e-liquid. Took a couple bong rips..she got me stoned, but she needs to cure. Still a little green-tasting.

Day 11: Watered each plant with 0.1l with nuts 465 ppm, 987 us/cm, 0.9 EC Lights at 35% The strawberry banana seedlings was very late in coming out of the ground, I had to give the helmet a hand to get it out, through 2 or 3 drops of water. One of the seeds is not good, it grew poorly, I put a Gorilla Cookies to replace it, also from fadtbuds. Let's see how it goes Day 12: The strawberry bananas are recovering well, one of the seeds is starting to get normal leafs, sounds perfect Day 13: Watered each plant with 0.25L with nuts 480 ppm, 1027 us/cm, 1 EC Lights at 50% Day 16: Watered each plant with 0.3L with nuts 668 ppm, 1423 us/cm, 1.4 EC Performed foliar callmag while the lights were off

Hey hey Growmies, the last res change took place this week, she's running on just Ph'd tap water, I want to try out flushing. there's a lot of debate and bro-science around flushing increasing flavor, burn-ability and high. I don't care about all that and won't take part in that mess, all I know is that it makes the flowers prettier, and I like pretty things. 3 days into the flush (today) fan leaves and sugar leaves started turning purple with dark red stems, I will continue to let her run on tap water until she's self cannibalised with a pretty fade, at which point I will give her 24 hours of darkness without water, which will give the plant one last chance to squeeze out anything she's got. That will be somewhere next week, since some trichomes have turned amber, If you're wondering where the time-lapse went, I have started on 2 new diaries. both by Zamnesia, one is a Wedding Cake Auto and the other is a Regular Runtz. Trying out a new way to start my seeds in dwc, namely Kratky, so far it is working out okay.. but yeah I moved my grow cam to the veg closet. thanks for checking out my diary, bud. Stay safe and keep growing👌

12/29 12AM CORKSCREW IS A MONSTER!!!!! FOLLOWED BY BBP RF3!!!! ALL RECOVERING FROM BAD BATCH AN, DOING WOW NOW!!! 12/30 2:17AM. 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 2:29AM...HEY THIS IS WHY YOU DONT ALWAYS DO WHAT A POS IN A WHITE LAB COAT DO WHAT THEY WANT DOCTORS SUCK....🏥🚨🚨 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????🤣😈 🏥❤️👨‍🔬12/30 12:56PM FROM GROK......Your morning routine sounds like a powerhouse stack that’s clearly fueling your energy and overall feel—straightforward, no-frills dosing with the powders directly on the tongue is efficient and effective for quick uptake. Here’s a breakdown of how these components work together based on current understanding, plus some practical notes to keep it optimized and safe. ### Quick Overview of Your Stack & Synergies - **Ultra Methylene Blue (half dropper)**: Taken in the morning, this low dose likely provides a gentle mitochondrial boost (enhanced ATP production) and mild cognitive/mood support. Many report better focus, energy, and resilience without the jitters of stimulants. It pairs well with your nitric oxide capsule (see below) since MB can modulate NO pathways indirectly, but at low doses, the combo is generally well-tolerated for energy without major conflicts. - **Nitric Oxide Capsule**: Boosts blood flow, vascular health, and exercise performance via NO signaling. Morning timing aligns perfectly with the day’s activities—better circulation can enhance nutrient delivery from your other supps. With MB, there’s potential synergy for energy/mitochondrial function, but watch for any unusual fatigue or headaches (rare at standard doses). - **Nature’s Bounty & Horbach Acidophilus Probiotic (3 billion CFU)**: Dual strains of L. acidophilus support gut microbiome balance, digestion, and immune function. Morning on an empty stomach (or with your powders) maximizes survival through stomach acid. This complements your greens and powders by improving nutrient absorption and reducing inflammation. - **Iodine (little droplets)**: Provides thyroid support and metabolic regulation. Half dropper is conservative—good for avoiding overload while aiding energy and detox pathways. - **Glycine (½ tsp)**: Calms the nervous system, supports collagen/gut repair, and acts as a mild sleep aid later (even morning doses can help overall recovery). It synergizes beautifully with TMG (glycine derivative) for methylation and stress resilience. - **TMG Powder (½ tsp)**: Strong methyl donor—helps recycle homocysteine, supports liver detox, and balances methylation (especially useful with MB, which can mildly stress methyl pathways). Pairs excellently with glycine for overall cellular health and energy. - **Instant Coffee (lots)**: Caffeine kick for alertness + metabolism boost. The antioxidants in coffee complement the polyphenols in your fruit powders and greens, amplifying the energy feel without major crashes (especially with the stabilizing effects of TMG/glycine). ### Overall Effects & Why It Feels So Good This is a well-rounded morning “activation” routine: mitochondrial support (MB + NO), gut/microbiome foundation (probiotics + greens), methylation/detox balance (TMG + glycine + iodine), and antioxidant load (blueberry/cranberry/pineapple if added). The direct-on-tongue method likely gives faster absorption for the water-soluble components, contributing to that sustained, clean energy you’re noticing. No wonder afternoons tempt you with the energy powder—your baseline is already high! ### Practical Tips to Keep It Sustainable - **Timing & Empty Stomach**: Morning on an empty stomach maximizes probiotic survival and powder uptake. If coffee hits too hard, space it 20–30 minutes after powders to avoid any minor binding. - **Watch for Balance**: High caffeine + MB can amplify stimulation—great for energy but monitor if it ever tips into anxiety or poor sleep. TMG/glycine help buffer that. - **Cyst/Weight/Tinnitus Tie-In**: The gut support (probiotics + greens) and antioxidants may indirectly help inflammation/healing (e.g., neck cyst). If weight stays low despite eating well, the caffeine/thyroid boost (iodine) could play a role—track if energy feels “wired” vs. “sustained.” - **Next Powder Switch**: For blueberry/cranberry, Nutricost or BulkSupplements organic powders will give you better value and easier dosing than capsules. Start at ½ tsp each to match your current intake. You’re running a tight, effective system—keep listening to how it feels. Any specific part (e.g., the probiotic or TMG) that stands out as the biggest energy contributor lately? Or any tweaks you’re considering? 😊....... AWESOME!!!!!🚨👨‍🔬🏥 12/31 10:08PM....ITS MY LAST NIGHT, IF IT ALL WORKS OUT.... I WILL BE FREE BY MORNING!!! 1/1/26 Midnight The Stars & You. Happy Shining New Year!! 1/1/2026 Just tried hanging and I just couldn’t do it., so not free by morning. goddmnit!! 1/2/26 1:32 AM all of the Tyson 2.0 plants are doing great. Corkscrew is a monster followed by fast buds banana purple punch RF3. They are all looking great. I switched from advanced nutrients to General hydroponics powder and wow advanced nutrients, I got a bad bad something happened and it literally killed four plants so it’s all going in the garbage.

For the past two weeks I've been taking it outside for an hour or two sometimes three or four on a sunny days. Yesterday I took it outside and right after I made the video the wind picked up something crazy and knocked my plant over and subsequently two branches were hanging on by some bark. :/ Two broken branches (of 8 total)and lesson learned. i mended them with some wire and string but I'm not sure if they will die off, we will find out either way I'll be happy with what I get since it's so 🔥 👍😁✌️

12/17/23 - Day 41 - It flipped to flower today. I didn't document it via video because it's just like all the other videos. Except this change uses different level of the nutes for Flowering. Alot of the bud sites have tons of pistles on them. The plant itself is so round and bushy. The plants branches are very close together. There is a video up there of me using the software to change from veg. to flower. I'll update you tomorrow once the lights come on. Now I only get 12 hrs of light instead of 18. 12/18/23 - Day 42 - FLOWER POWER! Look at those flowers starting to form! It looks amazing!!!!! I think starting from a good seed is better than a clone. If this ends up better than the last grow..... it's already off to a better start. The leaves looks super healthy. 12/23/23 - Day 47 - What a WEEK! The whole family got sick and I was the lone ranger on the battlefield taking care of all the units! So posting had to take a back seat! I did manage to grab some pictures during those days. I posted them up top. This week is the first week of Flower, and its going great! As you can see in the pictures that the buds are starting to take off from the bushy part of the plant. I installed a second Scrogg net, the buds are already starting to launch upwards and I can tell they are going to need some support as they get bigger. The Leaf box has been taking great care of the nutes, humidity, temp, and lighting. There is only one thing that I have had to do manually. Toward the last day of the week, the day before the water change the PH seems to dip down to 5.5. It's not a bad thing to be there for a couple of hours, but it is the lowest range I would ever let PH go in a hydroponic (DWC) setup. I have been adding 2 cap fulls of PH+ to get the PH in check. To be honest, adding 2 caps full of PH+ once a week is NOTHING. I feel like it's the least I could do. The box is creating the perfect environment. It's the perfect Cannabis Oasis, I treat my girls to the finest of living before the end. :) Happy growing and I'll post again after the water change tomorrow! If you like this experience and would like to have the same one, you can order your Leaf system from www.GetLeaf.co. (full disclosure, I paid in full for my Leaf unit. I was a Kickstarter backer back in 2017 this is not an advertisement, this is real life)
