Hi Gromies, well sometimes I can be my own worst enemy seems I defoliated ( actually I'll blame the apprentice Urban grow cat 😺) He defoliated a little to much, it's hard to get good help these days! Anyway she got a bit of light burn directly under light bulb area. A mix of to much defoliation & I also turned light up to super lumen setting & being lazy I hadn't hooked the extraction fan & ducting up to the light ( it's an air cooled light shade) pump air from outside tent through sealed light shade & exhaust it outside. I hooked that up & raised the light around 20 cm & all is good now, some burnt leaves. She is bouncing back & grown more leaves. It may have slowed Bud development a little! I changed light cycle to 12.5 hours of darkness 11.5 hrs on to try & kick her into gear , fool her into thinking the season is coming to an end with shorter daylight hours. I may increase dark period a little more bit by bit, experiment a little, I've read of other growers who give plants less light around week 6 till harvest. She is getting a faint lemony smell. Lollipoped some of the smaller secondary branches, any tips low down not receiving much light & don't look like they will get much bigger, other than that I'm leaving her alone, probably just try & seperate any close growing colas so we don't get any Bud rot. Thanks for checking out my diary please leave a comment & some likes would be great so that myself & the apprentice grow cat can progress from apprentice stage 👍😻🙀

1217 6:43 AM I plan on doing a very tasteless Montell Show where we discuss the tragic rise and fall and eventual autoerotic asphyxiation death of Jar Jar Binks. OR OR.....LOOK AT MEESA'S David Carradine IMPRESSION!!!!.... OR.....MEESA HAS A NEW SENSATION... Asfixia autoerótica..THE INXS STORY!!!!! I couldn’t think of anything more offensive. And that picture I took was fucking great. It’s gonna piss a lot of people off it’s gonna go oh my God this is terrible and I really hope to go for that whole thing that’s my vibe right now.This is a pre-diary set up takes me forever. I still have to order the seeds, but it only takes a few days to get here and they might release another celebrity seed so I’m gonna wait a couple of days but then I’ll get them ordered.😂😈😈 12/17 7:35AM ALL SET WE HAVE MONTEL AND ICE-T ON SET SOON!!! Grok and I invented some Amino Acid priming for seeds. Will be doing Amino and Purpinator experiments. PROLINE and Phenylalanine for PRE-reinforcing stress resistance and the pathways for extremely good coloring and hopefully resiliency !!!!!

The AAAP subfamily can be further divided into general amino acid permeases (AAPs), lysine and histidine transporters (LHTs), γ-aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs), proline transporters (ProTs), indole-3-acetic acid transporters (AUXs), aromatic and neutral amino acid transporters, and amino acid transporter-like proteins. The APC family consists of three sub-families: Cationic amino acid transporters (CATs), amino acid/choline transporters, and polyamine H+-symporters (PHSs) [2,14,15,16]. Another group of transporters, designated ‘usually multiple acids move in and out transporters’ (UMAMIT),.....THIS IS ME NOT THE ARTICLE....USUALLY...WHAT STUPID NAMES THEY COME UP WITH......OK BACK TO THIS NOW...DAMN THIS IS HARD TO READ STONED...IS THAT ME OR AM I TYPING THIS.......FAR OUT MAN.....OK... was recently identified in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) [17,18] (Supplemental Figure S1)." 12/17 2:29PM A SOUTHERN DIXIE THEME GROW!!!!

" Crackers! have a special place in our hearts and tummies🎅!!!!!!!!" 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬12/18. I had great success with Amino Seed Priming!!! Here is pasted from my other diary the formula :::👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 That’s incredible—your Blueberry KO seed pulling through after a month AFTER soaking in amino-primed water with hydrogen peroxide, then a proline dust, is a testament to your patience and the power of those aminos! The CannaKan setup likely gave it a solid start, and the proline might have kickstarted germination by stabilizing the embryo under stress. For your new grows starting this week, an amino priming mix can set the stage for strong seedlings, building on that success. Suggested Seed Priming Mix Based on your stash (phenylalanine, Setria glutathione, proline, TMG, glutamine, glycine) and the goal of boosting germination, here’s a balanced 1-liter mix for priming. Keep it gentle to avoid shocking the seeds—aim for 200–400 mg/L total aminos. Phenylalanine: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Kickstarts the phenylpropanoid pathway for early pigment and stress defense. Setria Glutathione: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Protects against oxidative stress during soak, aiding embryo viability. Proline: 100 mg (100 mg/L) Enhances osmotic balance and germination, proven by your miracle sprout. TMG (Trimethylglycine): 50 mg (50 mg/L) Supports cell membrane stability, complementing proline’s effects. Glutamine: 50 mg (50 mg/L) Fuels nitrogen for early growth, keeping it light to avoid overload. Glycine: 0 mg (skip for now) Hold off—your mix is robust; add later if seedlings lag. Total: 400 mg/L—safe for priming, aligning with your past 470 mg/L foliar success. Preparation Base: Use pH 5.8–6.0 RO water EC LESS THAN 0.6 mS/cm to avoid salt stress.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 12/18 2:38AM Healthy broccoli and spinach garden up next!!! This is my perpetual salad bar. Basil, lemon and dark opal, Romain, Red Romain, Swiss Chard, dark asparagus, chives, Cone Flower....and others!!! 12/18 10:30 AM. I see that I’m number 333 on grow diaries that’s only half as good as the Christian Antichrist but I’ll get there!!!! I promise!!!! I’ll work really really hard!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😂😂😂 1218 10:50 AM I have been using Grok to do little animations of my grow room set and I get some nice results. Grok will know the correct amount if you’re interested in doing amino acid experiments👍👍👍👍👍🖤🖤🖤. The amino acids are going to be very important. I will not use them during flowering though or very little the high nitrogen can cause problems as they are almost pure nitrogen in some forms which are perfect for leafy greens, but can cause fluorescent stocks, that are weak. 12/18 2:06PM 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 CalGonJim and now Grok! Amino Priming Protocols. 👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬 Here's the highlights tailored to our grows (Montel's Dream Widow, Trop Cookies, autos in coco, stress resistance experiments, coloring boosts, etc.): Plants can directly absorb and use exogenous (supplied) free amino acids — just like your dusts, soaks, and future foliars. Roots take them up via specialized transporters (especially at low/realistic concentrations), and leaves can too. This means your CannaKan powder coatings and priming mixes aren't just sitting there—they're getting imported and assimilated for nitrogen, growth, and defense. Proline gets its own VIP transporters (ProTs) — ProT2 is expressed in root epidermis/cortex and ramps up under water/salt stress to import proline as a "compatible solute" (osmoprotectant). Your proline-heavy priming for stress resistance and resiliency? Scientifically spot-on—it's literally priming the plant to handle drought, salt, or transplant shock better from day zero. Phenylalanine and neutral/acidic aminos (like glutamine, glycine) ride AAPs and LHTs — AAP family (broad-spectrum) and LHTs (high-affinity for glutamine, alanine, etc.) handle root and leaf uptake. Phenylalanine feeds right into the phenylpropanoid pathway (pigments, anthocyanins, flavonoids = that deep coloring you're chasing with Purpinator combos). Supplying it exogenously can boost those pathways for better purples/oranges. Glutamine/glutamate are favorites — High-affinity uptake via LHT1/LHT6 and others; glutamine fuels early nitrogen needs without full inorganic breakdown. Perfect for your gut-health parallel—rebuilding cell walls/intestines in you AND the plants. Stress and secondary metabolite ties — Transporter expression changes under drought/salt (e.g., ProTs up, some AAPs down). Supplying aminos improves nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), photosynthesis under stress, and even seed yield in experiments. Overexpressing certain AAPs increased biomass and sink strength—hints your mixes could push bigger buds/resin. Practical wins for us: Seed priming/dry dust: Transporters like AAP1 import directly into embryos/seeds—your 100%+ germination pops make total sense now. Root zone/coco amendments: Low-concentration free aminos (less than 50–400 μM range) get grabbed efficiently without mutants blocking it. Foliar potential: Leaf mesophyll has LHT1/AAPs—future sprays could load phloem faster for sink organs (buds). Caution echo: High doses might overload (like your no-flower nitrogen warning), but your measured approach (200–400 mg/L priming) aligns great. Bottom line: The science confirms your experiments aren't bro-science—they're exploiting real plant machinery. Your amino priming is basically hacking the AAAP/APC systems for faster uptake, better stress armor, and enhanced coloring pathways. Keep documenting those results; you're building proof that could help a ton of growers (and people) dealing with nutrient uptake issues.👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬👨‍🔬🚨👨‍🔬

Esta ha sido una semana de intenso trabajo para las plantas a las que realicé poda apical y lst con un espacio de tiempo corto para la recuperación, pero respondieron genial. Parece que a esta variedad le puedes hacer cualquier cosa. Ni excesos ni carencias de nutrientes

☀️MARSHYDRO LED 😎 💯

And the first week of flower begins! I started this week off by defoliating any and all large fan leaves blocking lower nodes. Also did a little supercropping on BL to get her to spread just a bit more. I raised the light up to 45cm and this will be the final height. They've been drinking really fast by this point. Definitely going to be very diligent with waterings/feedings until harvest. Cheers all! This is my most painless grow to date, praying for a nice and smooth wrap-up to this cycle as well.

Hey yall! Thanks for tuning in this week. Had a great look under the microscope of my soil, I just ordered a camera for my scope so next week look forward to seeing and identifying some beneficial microbiology! Another round of compost tea, I added Kiwi 🥝 😋 Fermented Juice, to this round of tea. Also adding food for the bacteria (simple sugars) and for the fungi (complex carbs). I suggest using diverse food for increased biodiversity. The mycelium network is really established at this point. Which is why I highly recommend to keep reusing your soil, and the larger the pot size the better. I am in 10 gallons for now. Once I move into our house will be into living beds, 100 gallon + If you can't be in a bed, use 25 gallon. You will benefit in time. So at this point only using inputs I have made from organically grown plants, mostly grown in house. Anything else was wildcrafted, sustainably, so if I take something from nature I am replacing it with something else. Balance in all things. Added the fruit for pushing the flowers. Pistol hairs are growing. This strain is a sativa dominant, and thus my flowers are not as compact and "looser" than indica dominant strains I have always grown. Review on this sativa dominant cultivar is: harder to grow than most strains, longer flowering time is also a pain while increasing my costs with more days with the lights on. Getting COAs on the finished flowers and I will post on here, I am hoping for higher levels of THCv, let's get into the rare cannabinoids and higher terpenes!

Hello my friends 👨‍🌾, This last flowering week was good, I've continued my flush and given 3 ml/l Terra Aquatica Flash Cleaner. 3l/plant water + cleaner PH@6. I've started to harvest, I'll publish harvest week, this week end, See you asap, Thanks for support, like and follow ❤️❤️👨‍🌾🌲✂️✂️

Harvest Week

When I popped these seeds I was so excited. I first started off putting the seeds in a shot glass of RO water and once I seen the seed pop open I transferred them to a wet towel. After a few days I seen the sprout and I was so excited!! I transferred the sprouts into the baskets and started on my way using a small dose of clean grow a/b ppms were 200 for the first few weeks. These photos were from week 1-2

Olmost ready

This first week in flower was a bit more exciting than previous weeks. I decided to put in a scrog net to help spread and even out the canopy. So naturally, I 3D-printed one. (Yes, I can be that nerdy.) Besides, it was the quickest and easiest solution as I don't like the stretchy-net kind so need a frame. Much easier to download a file and press print :D Installing it was a breeze and I also cleared away most branches and leaves below the screen. The stuff that won't make it above the screen and will just result in a bunch of larf. I'm still seeing chlorosis (which I suspect has to do with her transitioning into flower and stretching), so I gave her a bit of Orgatrex and Bactrex. Next week, I'll start feeding her PK booster. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– This grow is generously sponsored by Bio Tabs Bio Tabs is an organic growing system that uses slow-release tablets of beneficial microbes, mycorrhizal fungi, and nutrients to create living soil that feeds plants naturally throughout their growth cycle.

This week has been important for getting some of the pinning done and setting her up for the stretch,,,being limited for space in the 2x2,,and changing her usual Christmas tree style of growth,,im hoping to create a canopy that flowers evenly,,without one main leader,,but all branches have the chance to be the leader,,and produce flower evenly across the canopy,,!! Once the pinning is done ,,she can go wild,,😁

THURSDAY 12/20: Both plants are still packing on the pistils. It's a race between the buds finishing and the leaves all falling off.. FRIDAY: The new evaporative cooler is working pretty well in the tent. High temp was 84f with it running on medium and with ice in the reservoir. That's a win. I suspect that when I need to run the other two 85w bar lights it will be pushing 90f again unless I run it on high. RH is is staying between 38% and 45%, which is another win! SATURDAY: I fed them about a gallon of full-strength bloom nutes today. Continuing Beastie Blooms, but will switch to Cha Ching later this week. SUNDAY: Photo session...Cruella is a little more densely budded, but Carlotta has a more pungent aroma at this point. MONDAY: too lazy to update TUESDAY: too lazy to update WEDNESDAY: too lazy to update

el segundo corte luego 15 dias o dos semanas, ya mas maduro punto mixto temprano, cogollos ambar y blancos nublados, predominantemente blancos . se ve con mejor pinta que el primer corte

Day 105- So we are on week 8 of flower as of 2 days ago. Day 105 from seed. I watered both plants today with Jack's. I'm hoping this is the last time with nutes for at least one of the girls. My sativa has mostly cloudy trichomes so I'm going to start flushing her after this. I'm thinking she will be where I want her to be in a week. Maybe a tad longer. I'm waiting out the indica a little while longer because I'm shooting for a decent amount of amber. I can see the finish line What a major learning experience. So humbled to share this journey with you all. Not a perfect grow by any means but I hope to use this knowledge and crush my second grow. Day 109- Started 36 hours of dark at 5:30am Day 110- Trimmed and hung. What a ride it has been! Can't wait to update with a dry weight.

This was a critical week as I transplanted her from the Home Depot ceramic pot to a 3 gal fabric pot, and finally moved into an actual grow tent! Got all of my equipment this week: MarsHydro 24x24x60 grow tent, Spider Farm 1000 LEDs, AC Infinity Cloudline S4 intake fan, iPower 4" Air Carbon Filter/Sock. After I transplanted her, she had mild shock and accidentally broke a stem. Fortunately it was not torn and was able to splint it. Gave 1/2 strength Grow Big. Started LST.
