3/18 started looking super frosty compared to the past couple of days 3/21 shes starting to chunk up a bit. Looking better and better each day. Starting to put off a slightly sweet/skunky smell. She smells real good honestly

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de vida de estas Papaya sherbet feminizada de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quedaré con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

trim, lst

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are topdressed @ ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 and 3 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. I watered about 2 gallons from the water hose per plant day 3. Day 4 we had shower in the morning and throughout the day. Day 5 we had rain in the early morning, drizzle and afternoon showers. I added an additional 50ml of ferrous sulfate top dressed. I also spread just enough peat moss to cover the ferrous sulfate to prevent the rain from splashing it onto plants. Previously the rain splashed granules of ferrous sulfate onto the leaves, burning them. I used 50ml or 1.66ml/gallon of soil, as I've only got about 30 gallons of soil in the pots. I'm waiting to top off after this excessive rain is done. Day 6 we had intermittent rain, drizzle, and mist throughout the day. This weather has been very WET for cannabis.The good news is the ferrous sulfate is working. The soil pH is down around 6.4. There's still a small amount of excess phosphorus but these girls will grow into it. Day 7 we had rain all morning and into the afternoon. The pots are soaked. I noticed on day 3 that the #1 plant is falling behind the other two. The reason is the procession of the sun has caused it's path to create shade on the #1 plant. We have large trees surrounding the grow area and the #1 plant is receiving about a hour less sun in the morning. I waited for the pot to get lite and moved to a sunnier location on day 3. Everyone grew very good despite the excessive rain and cool nights. The plants doubled in height and overall this week was a success.

7/28 1220AM MONDAY.... Bubbles are looking ok, I need to trim them back to 4 colas, I am really stressing them with small space limitations, and temps at 80 to 81 7/29 Tuesday 5:45 AM💦💦 6:15 AM water with methylene blue two pills of nitric boost amino acid, five drops of Quick Sorb and I added bud factor X today and a quarter mL per liter of rhino silica💦💦💦. 1030 AM I don’t know what I’m gonna do. It turns out the bubbles plants are terrible. The stems are all very weak and they’re growing bushy at the top. I didn’t get them separated so all of the side branches grew up really long it’s completely useless. It is absolute this plant. It will be thrown in the garbage. Can you fucking believe I have to throw another entire plant in the fucking garbage😡😡😡😡. TREVOR plant cut down to 2 colas only, very top heavy not liking my grow space, had 2 more than I wanted so it's all fucked.... will remove shitty small colas and get maybe 2 good colas per plant, not expecting much. 1219pm....HOLY SHIT I FUCKED THESE.....TOOK OFF SOME COLAS.....NOT ENOUGH SPACE AND I PUSHED THEM TOO FAR.....I CAN FIX IT 7/30 1215am found a GREAT science link::: ""https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/8125/cannabis-genomics-breeding-and-production/magazine"". 345am PROLINE WILL BE HERE TODAY.ALL RESEARCH INDICATES PROLINE WILL PROTECT FROM HEAT STRESS!!!! 11:30 AM they are good again they are recovering from heavy defoliation half of the plant was taken off of one of them. I pushed it a little far but today they are recovering from heat and lack of air and lack of space the leaves are reaching up and they are not folding under heat stress. They look good today. Fast recovery heavy amino yesterday.👍👍👍👍🚨🚨🚨🚨 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 GOT THE AMINOS AND HERE IS THE GROK RESULT OF MY MIX.......🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 The effects of applying essential amino acids (EAAs), proline, trimethylglycine (TMG), and glutamine to cannabis plants can be significant, as these compounds act as biostimulants, influencing growth, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production. The available research, primarily from studies on amino acids in plants, including cannabis, provides insights into their roles, though specific data on this exact combination is limited. Below, I summarize the effects of each compound on cannabis plants, drawing from relevant studies, and infer potential synergistic effects based on their known roles in plant physiology. Note that TMG (betaine) has less direct research in cannabis, so some effects are extrapolated from other plants. ### 1. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) EAAs (e.g., leucine, lysine, methionine, etc.) are critical building blocks for proteins and play roles in plant metabolism and stress response. In cannabis: - **Growth and Development**: EAAs enhance protein synthesis, supporting shoot and root growth. Foliar or soil application of EAAs (e.g., 150–300 mg/L) increases leaf chlorophyll, shoot biomass, and root development in various plants, likely applicable to cannabis.[](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-21273-6) - **Nutrient Uptake**: EAAs like methionine and lysine improve nutrient absorption (e.g., nitrogen, iron) by acting as chelators, potentially enhancing cannabis nutrient efficiency in hydroponic or soil systems.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/)[](https://mycsainc.com/newsletter/en/2023/03/03/amino-acids-and-their-function-in-plants/) - **Stress Mitigation**: EAAs, particularly methionine, support antioxidant production (e.g., glutathione), reducing oxidative stress from drought, salinity, or high light, common in cannabis cultivation.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.00928/full)[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Cannabinoid/Terpene Production**: Limited evidence suggests EAAs may influence secondary metabolism. For example, methionine could enhance sulfur-containing compounds, potentially affecting terpene profiles in cannabis.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) **Application Notes**: EAAs are often applied via foliar spray (150–300 mg/L) or soil drench. Overuse may lead to nitrogen imbalance, so moderation is key.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) ### 2. Proline Proline is a non-essential amino acid that accumulates in plants under stress and serves multiple functions: - **Stress Tolerance**: Proline acts as an osmolyte, stabilizing cell membranes and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) during drought, salinity, or temperature stress. In cannabis, exogenous proline (e.g., 50–100 mM) may enhance tolerance to environmental stressors, improving resilience in outdoor or controlled environments.[](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349966775_THE_ROLE_AND_IMPORTANCE_OF_AMINO_ACIDS_WITHIN_PLANTS_A_REVIEW)[](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3548871/) - **Limited Growth Effect**: Proline alone is a poor nitrogen source for growth. Studies on Arabidopsis show it has a neutral or inhibitory effect on growth when used as the sole nitrogen source, suggesting it’s better for stress response than biomass accumulation.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Cannabis-Specific**: Proline helps cannabis maintain water balance, potentially improving resistance to extreme temperatures, which is critical for outdoor grows.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) **Application Notes**: Foliar or root application (50–100 mg/L) is effective for stress mitigation. High doses may inhibit growth if not balanced with other nutrients.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full)[](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349966775_THE_ROLE_AND_IMPORTANCE_OF_AMINO_ACIDS_WITHIN_PLANTS_A_REVIEW) ### 3. Trimethylglycine (TMG, Betaine) TMG is less studied in cannabis but known as an osmoprotectant and methyl donor in other plants: - **Stress Protection**: TMG stabilizes proteins and membranes under salinity, drought, or temperature stress, similar to proline. It may protect cannabis plants in harsh conditions, maintaining photosynthetic efficiency.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/9/7/807) - **Methylation Support**: TMG donates methyl groups, potentially enhancing secondary metabolite synthesis (e.g., cannabinoids, terpenes), though direct evidence in cannabis is lacking. Its role in methylation could support metabolic pathways linked to EAAs and glutamine. - **Growth Effects**: Limited data suggest TMG may improve chlorophyll content and photosynthesis, indirectly supporting biomass in cannabis. **Application Notes**: TMG is typically applied at 0.5–2 g/L via foliar spray. Its effects in cannabis are inferred from other crops, so careful experimentation is needed. ### 4. Glutamine Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid central to nitrogen metabolism: - **Growth Promotion**: Glutamine (10–1000 mg/L) significantly enhances shoot elongation, root growth, and chlorophyll content in plants like lettuce and hibiscus, likely benefiting cannabis vegetative growth. In cannabis, it may support lush foliage and robust rooting in hydroponics.[](https://www.scielo.br/j/oh/a/GZxMgqXb9wm7bsCTv4WwPdc/?lang=en)[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html)[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html?lang=en) - **Nitrogen Assimilation**: As a primary nitrogen acceptor, glutamine improves nitrogen use efficiency via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase cycle, enhancing nutrient uptake in cannabis.[](https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/58/9/2339/544408)[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) - **Stress Response**: Glutamine supports proline synthesis, boosting stress tolerance. It also contributes to chlorophyll and protein synthesis, improving photosynthesis and yield potential in cannabis.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/8/12/1110)[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) - **Secondary Metabolism**: Glutamine is a precursor to glutamate, which influences GABA, arginine, and proline synthesis, potentially affecting cannabinoid or terpene production indirectly.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.01743/full) **Application Notes**: Foliar sprays (250–1000 mg/L) or root application twice weekly are effective. Glutamine at 250 mg/L combined with other amino acids (e.g., glycine) shows synergistic growth effects.[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html) ### Synergistic Effects on Cannabis - **Growth and Yield**: The combination of EAAs, glutamine, and proline may enhance vegetative growth and biomass. Glutamine and EAAs drive protein synthesis and nitrogen uptake, while proline supports tissue integrity under stress. TMG likely amplifies these effects by improving cellular hydration and methylation, potentially increasing leaf area and bud quality.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/8/12/1110)[](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-21273-6) - **Stress Resilience**: Proline and TMG act as osmoprotectants, while EAAs and glutamine bolster antioxidant systems, collectively improving cannabis resilience to drought, salinity, or temperature extremes common in cultivation.[](https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/9/7/807) - **Secondary Metabolites**: Glutamine and TMG may enhance cannabinoid and terpene production by supporting metabolic pathways (e.g., methylation, nitrogen metabolism). EAAs like methionine could influence sulfur-based terpenes. However, direct evidence for cannabinoid enhancement is sparse.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glutamine and EAAs improve nitrogen and micronutrient uptake, while TMG may enhance nutrient transport, optimizing cannabis growth in nutrient-limited systems like hydroponics.[](https://mycsainc.com/newsletter/en/2023/03/03/amino-acids-and-their-function-in-plants/) ### Potential Risks and Considerations - **Inhibition at High Doses**: High concentrations of proline or certain EAAs (e.g., lysine, valine) can inhibit growth if used as sole nitrogen sources. Balanced mixtures mitigate this, as glutamine can antagonize inhibitory effects of proline or other amino acids.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Nitrogen Overload**: Excessive EAAs or glutamine may lead to nitrogen toxicity, causing leaf burn or stunted growth in cannabis. Monitor plant response and maintain balanced nutrient solutions.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) - **TMG Metabolism**: TMG may increase trimethylamine production in the soil microbiome, potentially affecting cannabis root health if not managed. Healthy soil microflora can mitigate this.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) - **Application Timing**: Foliar sprays (150–500 mg/L for EAAs, glutamine, proline; 0.5–2 g/L for TMG) during vegetative growth or early flowering maximize benefits. Avoid overuse during late flowering to prevent nutrient imbalances affecting bud quality. ### Cannabis-Specific Insights - **Hydroponics and Soil**: In hydroponic systems, EAAs and glutamine ensure efficient nitrogen delivery, while proline and TMG support stress resistance in fluctuating pH or nutrient conditions. In soil, maintaining microflora is crucial, as it naturally supplies amino acids; supplementation should be moderate.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/)[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **Cultivar Variability**: Cannabis cultivars differ in nutrient demands and stress responses. Sativa-dominant strains may benefit more from proline and TMG for stress tolerance, while indica strains may respond better to EAAs and glutamine for dense bud growth. Testing is needed. - **Secondary Metabolites**: While amino acids influence secondary metabolism, direct effects on THC or CBD levels are unconfirmed. Glutamine and TMG may indirectly enhance terpene diversity via improved photosynthesis and methylation.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) ### Practical Recommendations "🚨🚨🚨🚨"🚨🚨🚨🚨"🚨🚨🚨🚨 - **Dosing**: Apply EAAs (150–300 mg/L), glutamine (250–500 mg/L), proline (50–100 mg/L), and TMG (0.5–1 g/L) via foliar spray or root drench twice weekly during vegetative growth and early flowering. - **Combination**: Use a balanced mix (e.g., 250 mg/L EAAs + 250 mg/L glutamine + 50 mg/L proline + 500 mg/L TMG) to avoid inhibition. Test on a small batch first.[](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2023.1281495/full) - **Monitoring**: Check for signs of nitrogen toxicity (dark green leaves, clawing) or stress relief (improved vigor, greener leaves). Adjust doses based on plant response. "🚨🚨🚨🚨"🚨🚨🚨🚨"🚨🚨🚨🚨. - **Synergy with Nutrients**: Pair with balanced NPK fertilizers and micronutrients (e.g., iron, calcium) to enhance uptake.[](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/opag-2019-0016/html) - **Cultivation Context**: In hydroponics, use lower doses to avoid nutrient lockout. In soil, ensure healthy microbial activity to complement amino acid supplementation.[](https://cannabisindustryinstitute.com/news/amino-acids-what-they-mean-to-your-cannabis-grow/) ### Evidence Gaps - **Specific Combination**: No studies directly address EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine together in cannabis. Effects are inferred from individual amino acid studies and general plant research. - **Cannabinoid Impact**: Limited data on how these compounds affect THC/CBD levels. More research is needed on secondary metabolite pathways.[](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008891/) - **TMG in Cannabis**: TMG’s effects are extrapolated from other crops. Cannabis-specific trials are needed to confirm benefits. ### Conclusion Applying EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine to cannabis plants can enhance growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient uptake, with potential benefits for yield and secondary metabolite production. EAAs and glutamine drive biomass and nitrogen efficiency, proline and TMG bolster stress resilience, and their combination may optimize cannabis health in challenging environments. However, careful dosing and monitoring are crucial to avoid inhibition or toxicity. For best results, test small-scale applications and consult with a horticulturist familiar with cannabis cultivation. If you want more details on application methods, specific cultivars, or further searches for cannabis-related studies, let me know!""🚨🚨🚨🚨 🚨🚨 7/31 125am!!!!! Adding L-glycine to the combination of essential amino acids (EAAs), proline, trimethylglycine (TMG), and glutamine can further influence the effects on cannabis plants, as glycine is a non-essential amino acid with unique roles in plant physiology. Below, I outline the potential effects of L-glycine alone and in combination with the previously mentioned compounds, focusing on their impact on cannabis growth, stress response, and secondary metabolite production. Since specific studies on this exact combination in cannabis are lacking, I’ll integrate findings from plant science and infer synergistic effects based on known mechanisms. I’ll keep it concise and tailored to cannabis cultivation. ### Effects of L-Glycine on Cannabis Plants L-Glycine is a simple amino acid involved in protein synthesis, stress response, and metabolic pathways: - **Growth Promotion**: Glycine (50–500 mg/L) enhances shoot elongation, root growth, and chlorophyll content in plants like lettuce and rice, likely benefiting cannabis vegetative growth. It serves as a nitrogen source and supports protein synthesis, complementing EAAs and glutamine. - **Stress Tolerance**: Glycine acts as a precursor to glutathione, a key antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress from drought, salinity, or high light. In cannabis, it may improve resilience in challenging environments (e.g., outdoor grows or high-intensity indoor setups). - **Secondary Metabolism**: Glycine is a precursor to purines and chlorophyll, potentially enhancing photosynthesis and energy metabolism. It may indirectly influence cannabinoid and terpene production by supporting metabolic pathways, though direct evidence in cannabis is limited. - **Nutrient Uptake**: Glycine chelates micronutrients (e.g., iron, zinc), improving their availability, which is critical for cannabis in hydroponic or nutrient-poor soil systems. **Application Notes**: Foliar sprays or root drenches (100–500 mg/L) are effective, often applied twice weekly during vegetative growth or early flowering. ### Synergistic Effects with EAAs, Proline, TMG, and Glutamine Adding L-glycine to the mix may enhance the effects on cannabis plants in the following ways: 1. **Enhanced Growth and Biomass**: - **Glycine + EAAs/Glutamine**: Glycine complements EAAs and glutamine in protein synthesis and nitrogen metabolism. Studies show glycine (250 mg/L) combined with glutamine enhances shoot and root growth in plants, likely amplifying cannabis vegetative vigor and bud development. - **Synergy**: Glycine’s role in chlorophyll synthesis boosts photosynthesis, supporting the energy demands of EAA-driven protein synthesis and glutamine’s nitrogen assimilation, potentially increasing leaf area and yield. 2. **Improved Stress Resilience**: - **Glycine + Proline/TMG**: Glycine and proline both contribute to glutathione production, enhancing antioxidant defenses. TMG’s osmoprotectant properties further stabilize cells under stress. Together, they may improve cannabis tolerance to drought, heat, or salinity, maintaining growth in adverse conditions. - **Cannabis-Specific**: This combination could be particularly beneficial for outdoor cannabis or indoor setups with inconsistent temperature/humidity, reducing leaf wilting or nutrient stress. 3. **Secondary Metabolite Production**: - **Glycine + Glutamine/TMG**: Glycine and glutamine are precursors to metabolic pathways (e.g., GABA, purines) that may influence cannabinoid and terpene synthesis. TMG’s methyl donation could enhance these pathways by supporting enzyme activity. While direct evidence is sparse, this stack may increase terpene diversity or cannabinoid yield in cannabis buds. - **EAAs Contribution**: Methionine (an EAA) and glycine may support sulfur-containing compounds, potentially enriching terpene profiles. 4. **Nutrient Efficiency**: - **Glycine + EAAs/Glutamine**: Glycine’s chelating properties enhance micronutrient uptake, complementing EAAs and glutamine’s role in nitrogen assimilation. This could optimize nutrient use in hydroponic cannabis systems, reducing nutrient lockout. - **TMG Synergy**: TMG’s role in cellular hydration may improve nutrient transport, amplifying glycine’s effects on micronutrient availability. ### Potential Risks and Considerations - **Inhibition at High Doses**: High glycine doses (1000 mg/L) may inhibit growth by disrupting nitrogen balance, especially if combined with EAAs or glutamine. Studies on Arabidopsis show glycine can be toxic as a sole nitrogen source, so balanced mixtures are crucial. - **Nitrogen Overload**: Adding glycine to EAAs and glutamine increases nitrogen input, risking toxicity (e.g., leaf burn, stunted growth) in cannabis. Monitor for dark green leaves or clawing and adjust doses. - **Competition for Absorption**: Glycine, EAAs, and glutamine may compete for root or foliar uptake, reducing efficacy. Split applications (e.g., glycine in the morning, EAAs/glutamine post-light cycle) can help. - **TMG Interaction**: Glycine and TMG both influence methylation pathways, but excessive methyl donors could disrupt metabolic balance in sensitive plants. Stick to moderate doses (e.g., 100–500 mg/L glycine, 0.5–1 g/L TMG). - **Cultivar Variability**: Cannabis strains (e.g., sativa vs. indica) differ in nutrient and stress responses. Glycine’s benefits may be more pronounced in stress-prone sativas or nutrient-sensitive hybrids. ### Practical Recommendations - **Dosing**: Combine glycine (100–500 mg/L), EAAs (150–300 mg/L), glutamine (250–500 mg/L), proline (50–100 mg/L), and TMG (0.5–1 g/L) in a balanced foliar spray or root drench. Apply twice weekly during vegetative growth and early flowering. - **Application**: Use foliar sprays for rapid uptake during vegetative stages or stress events. Root drenches suit hydroponic systems. Test on a small batch to assess plant response. - **Monitoring**: Watch for nitrogen toxicity (dark, curled leaves) or stress relief (greener, more vigorous plants). Adjust concentrations based on cultivar and growth stage. - **Synergy with Nutrients**: Pair with balanced NPK fertilizers and micronutrients (e.g., iron, calcium) to maximize glycine’s chelating benefits. Ensure adequate magnesium for chlorophyll synthesis. - **Cultivation Context**: In hydroponics, use lower doses to avoid nutrient imbalances. In soil, maintain healthy microbial activity, as microbes naturally produce glycine and other amino acids. ### Evidence Gaps - **Specific Combination**: No studies address glycine combined with EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine in cannabis. Effects are inferred from individual amino acid studies and general plant research. - **Cannabinoid/Terpene Impact**: While glycine may support secondary metabolism, direct effects on THC/CBD or terpene levels are unconfirmed. Cannabis-specific trials are needed. - **TMG and Glycine**: Their combined effects on methylation in cannabis are speculative, as most TMG research focuses on other crops. ### Conclusion Adding L-glycine to EAAs, proline, TMG, and glutamine likely enhances cannabis growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency by supporting protein synthesis, antioxidant production, and micronutrient uptake. The combination may improve vegetative vigor, bud quality, and resilience to environmental stressors, with potential (but unconfirmed) benefits for cannabinoid and terpene production. Careful dosing and monitoring are essential to avoid nitrogen toxicity or absorption competition. Start with low doses, test on a small scale, and consult a cannabis cultivation expert for tailored advice. If you want me to search for more studies, focus on a specific aspect (e.g., glycine’s role in terpene synthesis), or provide application protocols for a particular cannabis strain, let me know!"""

First and foremost.. . I apologize on the tardiness of my diaries. I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago and it really put me down for a little bit. I'm finally feeling a bit more like myself and am spending more time in my garden again. In my last journal I was talking about the different mutations I had with both these ladies from the germination stage. After doing some research I found out that the blackberry auto is actually a triploid mutation and I'm glad I kept her.. she's looking amazing despite a slight nitrogen toxicity... maybe the soil was a little hot for the blackberry auto compared to the other pheno's I'm growing. The blackberry auto is well into flower and looking great. I'm going to continue to strip as much vegetation off her as possible and lollipop upwards through flower. There's not much I want to say about the Forbidden Runtz auto. She was a twin mutation and she has been stunted from day 1. She has grown lanky and thin, but I'm hoping to get some bud to press as soon as I harvest. She currently is looking a little stressed out, I've been feeding her at various pH and E.C. ranges just to see what happens. Please note the curling of the oldest fan leaves.

***** Week 6 May 16 to 22, 2020 - Days 36 to 42 from germination ***** Calling this a flower week but it certainly is more of transition week. Been battling a busy life along with pH issues this grow. Starting to get both under control😃 These girls were transplanted into 3 gal plastic pots after battling pH issues and unable to bring down below 7.1 until cut out of fabric pots.........piss off!!! Cheap fabric pots from Amazon are a thing of the past!!!! 😡😡😡 Ordering Radical bags👍 During transplant GSC2 took it hard. She got twisted coming out of the old pot and it was a bit of a disaster😢..........GSC went very well and her root mass stayed together.😃 GSC2 is a freak and I am learning more from her. Growing out almost sideways from the pot. Keeping an eye on the main stem to ensure she doesn’t start to rot at the soil level........may trim off a couple of more branches. Her root mass won’t be very big so think I will take more branches and let her focus on building the density of a few bud sites rather than spreading a little to several sites. LST introduced this week as well. Started the introduction of Rezin and Terpinator now. Little more detail.......... May 16/20 - Day 36 - 2L each girl of Massive @ 3ml, VeloKelp, Rezin, @ 2ml, Sensyzime, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1000ppm and 4.5pH - stop lower the pH as much next feeds. 5.5 idea now and see how they react. I really want 6.2 going in!!!!😞 - GSC2 is concern as she took the transplant poorly with her whole root mass being flipped over and on top of herself. May 17/20 - Day 37 - Mixed 3L water with Massive @ 2.5ml, Piranha, Voodoo, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Rezin, Liquid Wt, CalMag @ 1ml = 1050ppm and 5.5pH - GSC given 2L and GSC2 only 1L. - giving them more microbes and beneficials next couple of feeds with more Piranha and Voodoo again. - stripped more leaves today. GSC2 took more lower stuff as well.,,.....so bushy on the bottom. May 18/20 - Day 38 - mixed 3.5L water with Massive @ 3ml, Piranha, Voodoo, Dual Fuel, Rezin, Liquid Wt, Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 850ppm and 5.7pH - checked some runoff numbers today...... - GSC runoff was 400ppm and 5.8pH. - GSC2 runoff was 550ppm and 6.2pH - PH is back in line!!!!!!🙌🙌 - GSC is coming along but her branches are not as thick as I would like. Side branches are getting longer. - GSC2 is a mess in general😀 She is shooting out fan leaves and they leaves are getting bigger but she is not getting any bigger?? - LST day today and GSC had some branches pulled down. Leaving GSC2 for now., May 19/20 - Day 39 - dry out day - just left them alone today😃 May 20/20 - Day 40 - 2L each girl of water with Rhino skin, CalMag, Sensyzime @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 650ppm and 6.1pH - there was some runoff from GSC2 only. - girls look happy overall today. May 21/20 - Day 41 - 3L water mixed with Rezin and Terpinator @ 1.5ml = 160ppm and 5.7pH - was going to be a plain water feed but changed last minute and its time for Terpinator. - the girls are not overly happy today.....not sure why - all girls seem to be responding well to the LST over last couple of days. May 22/20 - Day 42 - dry out day - Both girls still trying to set bud sites but no success yet.

This is her last week before Harvest! I decided to start her off with just Ph water. Midweek I added just 1 gallon of ph water with Florakleen (10ml/gal). After that, I’ve just been observing her suck whatever is left out of her leaves. Her buds are still developing nicely. I just bought a microscope. Took some pretty cool pictures of her trichomes! She looks to be ready now. Cutting her down first thing Sunday morning (11/28). I will update her harvest next week. Until then… Letting her do her thing before it’s time to ✂️

We have officially started low stress training this girl on June 29th. The second video is on Friday July 1st within two days she grew a good amount . As you can see in the second video she suffered a little light burn. My mistake I didn’t think she was big enough to get burnt by the light but when I went to adjust her stakes I noticed she got burnt. So I quickly fixed it and put the light farther away.

@twenty20mendocino A-Team R&D Update ~ Let’s Go day 24 of flower 🌸 an we are looking amazing! Ladies are starting to stack an oh my we getting a lot of frost going on! starting to get some gassy stanky notes of em too😍 ! We are only into week 4 ladies an gents we still got a few weeks to go of stacking! Keep your eyes peeled for next week’s update yall , peace love a positive to all y’all , an have an amazing productive day ! Cheers an blaze on !!

7/16/22 Today marks the 1st day of week 14, and the start of the 2nd week of the ripening stage. Stella received a gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp. I seem to be having an issue with pH the last 2 feeding days. I think my gallon jugs have reached the end of their lifetimes, and THAT is what is causing my issue. It has happened to me once before, and getting new jugs cleared up the issue. I’m assuming that will be the solution to the problem. However, we all know what “assume” stands for don’t we? If you don’t, leave a comment and I’ll explain. The initial pH was 5.4. That is the lowest that I have ever had simply after adding nutrients. I added a total of 10 ml’s of pH UP, which in my opinion is way too much! But, I did it in 3 separate increments. Not that that makes it better. The final pH after all that was 6.3. The runoff pH was 5.6. She is still looking good, but you can tell she’s getting ready to start getting to her end stage. I wait with baited breath! The tent was 81.7F, with a humidity of 56%. We’re almost there! Happy growing everyone. 7/18/22 Today I’m going to keep this note brief… I promise. Stella is continuing to fatten up getting ready for harvest in a few weeks. She is still doing well. Today she received a gallon of water mixed with the ripen stage nutrients again. I changed all of my jugs, but after mixing everything up the initial pH was 5.5. I added 8 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted the pH going in to 6.2. Her runoff pH was 5.6. The tent was 83.3F, with humidity at 58%. See! A short note is possible!! Happy growing everyone. 7/21/22 Stella and all of her children were fed today. As usual, a day later than planned, but they got fed, and are all still doing wonderful. We’re keeping with the ripen nutrients mixed into a full gallon of water. FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml Initial pH was 5.2. I added 12 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted it to 6.2. She had plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.8 The tent was 83.9F, and humidity was 52%. Her buds are FAT!! Happy growing everyone!

I am honestly blown away with how amazing all 3 plants done! I didn’t really have any deficiencies or issues with any of them the entire grow & it really shows in the quality & weight these ladies put off! Bud smells almost like licorice & has a very sweet taste when smoking!

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. I’m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. I‘m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didn’t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing I’m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. I’m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow I’m just indirectly running a small usb fan. I’m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Can’t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least it’s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldn’t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. I’ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍 WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

On the 13th day after the seeds were planted, I dropped an oscillating fan in the grow tent and spilled one of these Dosidos 33 out of her pot and onto the floor of the tent. I panicked and tried to pick up the little seedling and bits of soil and replace it in the pot as well as I could, but I was convinced I'd killed one of my plants. Within a couple days you wouldn't have known anything happened. I'm so glad she survived, because she grew into a beautiful purple plant that ended up finishing early.

Day 23 - Had some problems with Calcium because I had not buffered the coco... Made a nutrient flush with a solution of 2ml/gal of CalMag Xtra and 1ml/L of Sensi Coco Bloom A/B diluted at 550 PPM. Now the run-off PPM is higher and the ladies seem recovered. Wish I learned from mistakes. Keep running 🙏🏼 Day 25 - Everything ok. The plant's growing strong and healty. The growth in coco is soo faster than soil!
