6/14 These are some thirsty girls. It seems the roots have filled the grow bags. The added wind makes it so that I need to stay on top of the water. I also need to spray again. When defoliating I saw some WPM on the very inside of a couple plants. I killed a few aphids on one plant. It seems if I just manually kill them it takes a while for them to repopulate. Also found a worm. I should bust out the BT but I am undecided considering I have the WPM as well. Foliar spray will probably be Dr. Zymes or lost coast plant therapy. Note LCPT seems to not do shit against aphids. Will update as the week progresses. UPDATE: Went back over after noticing strong wind. 15mph sustained wind had my plants going as sideways as possible. Luckily the vertical trellis and supports I made have stopped any major damage thus far. I decided NOT to put tarps up on the south which is where the wind is coming from. I hope I do not regret that decision. I plan to spray tonight. 6/15 Rained all night so I was unable to spray. Surprisingly no damage from all that wind. 6/16 Rained during the night and soil was still wet so didn't water this morning. I noticed markings on one of my transplanted seedlings. Found Thrips. I've never dealt with these before. I was planning on spraying BT but now I'll need to switch to something else. LCPT, Dr. Zymes, or spinosid (captain Jack's dead bug). Considering I have been dealing with PM I'll try to use something that will deal with both. I'll update as I go. I have defoliation I need to do on at least one plant. I also need to reevaluate my space and consider moving a couple plants that way it isn't to crowded. Another windy day but it's from the north west which is better as the tree line and tarps help.UPDATE Went back over and watered all plants. One plant had a slight droop which is surprising considering the two days of rain. The wind dries those grow bags out quick and it was sunny day. I watered the one that looked a "little" droopy first before applying Lost Coast Plant Therapy to the entire garden with a half gallon pressure sprayer. I hope this was a good idea. The droopy plant got treated last. We shall see tomorrow. 6/17 Everything looked great this morning. Lightly watered before feeding 2 gallons. Replaced microbe brew with kangoroots this time. Plants looked very happy. No negative results from the lost coast plant therapy. If anything they look better. My cage is getting overwhelmed. I need to remove at least two smaller plants. They are exploding in that 50gal and the tote. If I removed just those two I think it would work a lot better. I would have more room to work as well. 6/18 LCPT doesn't seem to effect aphids. I noticed a few on ONE plant and had been killing them manually. Population was only on literally a leaf or two. I think my follow up treatment will be Spinosid. It works great and hits pretty much everything. I've used it once already. Plants are incredibly healthy. Leaves were wet so it lightly rained last night. I lightly watered as the soil still seemed moist. Different size containers makes a consistent watering schedule difficult. UPDATE: Went over and watered tonight. Checked the one plant that had a few aphids for aphids and found like a dozen lady bug larvae instead! They survived the wind and had babies! These are just wild guys that are all over the place here. Couldn't find a single bug other than that lol. 6/19 I watered early this morning lightly as the soil was not totally dried out but then it started pouring. Plants looked great this morning. After the rain I'll do some defoliating and check for any remaining thrips. Later in the day we had torrential rain that knocked out my cameras. Plants look fine as you can see and all cams and motion sensors are back online. I have backups but still. 6/20 We had torrential rain but plants are fine. Watered what needed it lightly. Bags dry out fast and I've found I need to water often or some will droop. Found spiders that had killed a couple of my lady bugs. I killed what I could. Still need to defoliate and apply second application of whatever I decide.

So last week I extended mid bloom by 1 week. Today they entered late bloom. Lux is still around 48klux. Looks like it I'd fighting some deficiency. I'm sure it will pull through.

Genetics provides the blueprint, but the environment builds the house. To think otherwise shows outdated logic. A genetic freak will always be a freak, but for the other 99.99%, perfect environmental optimization coaxes average seeds into performing beautifully. You don't need a legendary, expensive clone to get a super yield. If you keep your light at the right distance, keep your tent at a stable 74°F–77°F, and prevent the root zone from drying out, you will naturally unlock the maximum genetic potential of whatever seed you planted. You are giving the builder the exact tools it needs. But doing that in 5 gallons is playing on Ironman mode. Want real yield? 4x15gallons or, even better, one big oxygen-infused 100-gallon. Maximizing your canopy footprint efficiently requires that larger volume to build a sufficient chemical buffer and hold consistent moisture. Small pots restrict the plant's metabolic runway, forcing an aggressive metabolic rate that will eventually crash the crop's vascular system, even under a pro's supervision. 15 gallons maintains a perfectly structured wet/dry cycle while letting you push environmental metrics to their absolute limits across the 9 cardinal parameters of plant growth. Dialing this in allows one to force the plant's photosynthetic efficiency to its absolute genetic ceiling of 4% to 5%. Hobby growers operate at a heavily bottlenecked 1% to 2% light conversion efficiency; a strictly managed, pharmaceutical-grade environment can double that, unlocking the plant's true potential. To get there, though, you need pharmaceutical-grade controls, a deep knowledge base, and a lot of money. Keep your setup realistic and grounded until you have the experience first; otherwise, you're just throwing cash down the toilet. 1. Light Intensity (PPFD) 2. Light Quality (Spectrum) 3. Air Temperature 4. Relative Humidity (VPD) 5. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) / Root O₂ 6. Substrate Moisture (VWC) 7. Nutrient Strength & Balance (EC/pH) 8. Root Zone Temperature 9. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) If any one is bottlenecked, the entire energy process is bottlenecked to that %.. Geographical location heavily dictates genetic expression, which in turn influences and interacts with soil composition and its nutritional properties. This, in conjunction with the location's specific weather and unique environmental conditions, is what truly drives gene expression. Unless a cultivar is grown under the exact same conditions across the board, there is no way its genetic heritage will remain identical. Each generation grown in a different meteorological and geographical location will ultimately alter its genetic expression. The idea that a "magic seed" can bring back long-lost genetics and behave exactly as it did in the past is ridiculous; the precise environmental conditions of thousands of years ago simply no longer exist. To pretend otherwise relies on an outdated, unchecked version of how "genetics" actually works that is far overdue for a rethink. Genetics are not completely predetermined. The reason people still think of genetics as fixed is because of how we historically taught Mendelian genetics (the classic Punnett squares from school). It taught us that "DNA = Outcome." While that is true for basic traits (like whether a pea is wrinkled or smooth), it completely ignores quantitative traits (like flavor, yield, and stress tolerance), which are heavily influenced by the environment. A seed carries a specific genetic code (genotype), but the physical expression of that code (phenotype)—such as the plant's flavor, smell, size, and nutritional value—is heavily dictated by its surroundings. The exact same seed grown in two different regions will yield entirely different results. The unique mineral composition, microbial life, and fungal networks of a specific geographic location, combined with local weather patterns and UV levels, act as a custom recipe. This recipe directly influences how the plant develops its chemical and nutritional properties. Environmental factors act as "switches" that turn specific genes on or off without altering the underlying DNA sequence. These changes in gene expression can sometimes be passed down to the next generation, meaning the plant actively adapts to its new home in real-time. When a cultivar is grown in a new meteorological location, each subsequent generation undergoes rapid localized adaptation. The plant naturally favors traits that help it survive that specific environment, shifting away from its original ancestral state within just a few generations. Because the precise atmospheric conditions, soil biology, and climate of thousands of years ago no longer exist, an ancient seed grown today will inevitably express itself differently. Modern agriculture increasingly recognizes that we cannot separate a plant's genetic heritage from the unique environment in which it is grown. Commercial facilities in the world use 5 gallons of high-frequency fertigation (crop steering) and feed 10x a day, not stating that it's not possible or beneficial. For indoor home growing, I'd go with the 15-gallon (VERY MINIMUM for MAX heads) watering once a day at high, dialed-in metrics. The reason a true 4% to 5% total efficiency is considered a hard biological wall isn't that other growers lack understanding—it is because of how energy is lost at a cellular level in C3 plants (like cannabis) under artificial light. The difference in efficiency of conversion might only be a couple of %, but here is the thing that's undeniable. The 4% to 5% total photosynthetic efficiency wall is a hard quantum mechanical and biological reality for C3 plants under artificial light. It is dictated by the physics of photons, the limits of Rubisco, and massive energy losses through photorespiration and metabolic maintenance. While a commercial facility chases economies of scale, often compromising individual plant microclimates, a highly dialed-in home grower can leverage small-scale dynamics to push Canopy Utilization Efficiency to its absolute thermodynamic limit. A home grower running large-volume living soil or oxygen-infused substrates (like a 15-to-100 gallon bed) creates a self-regulating, high-buffer biome. This stabilizes the 9 cardinal parameters, prevents vascular crashes, and maximizes Canopy Utilization Efficiency and Electron Transport Rates (ETR) in a way a 10,000-square-foot warehouse simply cannot replicate. Localized adaptation and phenotypic plasticity blow the "static genetics" myth out of the water. Terroir is real, and the environment acts as a master programmer, flipping epigenetic switches. Alpha to Omega. Lights are 58 inches from the main source to the top of the pot and the soil surface. If you added up all the lights in the tent, it would be 1100w-1200w total across 14 lights. Using them all at once is far too much for a plant and incredibly difficult to deal with environmentally. The lights are fixed in position; side lights have dimmers, allowing for pinpoint precision of PPF. Fixed at 58 inches, cannot move them closer to increase intensity. Instead, achieve optimal PPF by distributing smaller wattages across a massive, multi-fixture matrix. Triggering specific plant defenses without melting the canopy. What's the point/blah blah wattage? Never really go above 600W at any one time. Lights come on in the east of the tent and set in the west. At sunrise and sunset, the red-to-far-red R:FR light ratio drops because the sun's low angle scatters red light more than far-red light. This shift reduces active Pfr and increases inactive Pr, mimicking Mother Nature herself. Deployed a lighting system featuring extra 660 nm deep-red and extending the spectrum up to 780 nm achieves the full Emerson Enhancement Effect by simultaneously balancing Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI) to maximize quantum yield. By pairing deep-red photons with far-red photons, you trigger a synergistic biological response where the resulting photosynthetic rate is higher than the sum of both wavelengths used individually. This practice directly leverages the updated extended Photosynthetically Active Radiation (ePAR) framework. The Emerson effect accelerates plant metabolism and heat capture; you must proactively scale up your ambient room temperature, nutrient delivery, and CO₂ supplementation to prevent the light from stalling out your cannabis plant. UVA stays high all day from morning to night, but UVB peaks at solar noon (middle of 18-hour days) when the sun is peak. Morning color starts at 2k-3k; by noon it goes to 5k- 6k and back to 2-3k for sunset, with differing P:FR at light off. The extra-blue light is to assist with photoreactivation of UVB damage. No more yield loss for me. Using extra blue light for photoreactivation is what I do. Blue/UVA light activates photolyase enzymes, which directly repair DNA damage caused by UVB radiation. But what's the point if it's not for yield? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation—specifically UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm)—acts as a critical environmental signal that programs a plant's photoprotective genes to unlock its true photosynthetic potential. When growers push crops to their absolute photosynthetic maximum via high-intensity light and elevated carbon dioxide, the photosynthetic machinery easily becomes overwhelmed. Emerging photobiology research demonstrates that UV radiation prevents this limiting bottleneck; it triggers specific transcription factors and signalling networks that fortify the plant's cellular defenses, allowing it to process extreme light levels without sustaining structural damage. There are 8 limiting factors of plant growth; when carbon dioxide becomes the 9th limiting factor of plant growth, it shifts the growth curve from exponential to linear. The restriction after that is "photoprotection" against reactive oxygen species (ROS), managed via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the xanthophyll cycle, which bridges into precise hydrogen and redox dosing. UV radiation, particularly UVA, and the synthesis of zeaxanthin are critical for the xanthophyll cycle to function. It's not chasing purple strains... One likes to call it chasing the limits of growth, trying to make the linear exponential, just like father mathematics prefers. In order to do that, must control every environmental variable and compound the plant’s metabolic rate. True exponential growth means the rate of increase matches the current mass at every stage, requiring a closed-loop system where light, CO2, and nutrition lock into a synchronized upward curve. First, you must attempt to understand what restricts it. Precise hydrogen and redox dosing. Nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Most won't even understand that; once you do, it changes everything. Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves meet in phase, meaning their crests and troughs perfectly align. Their amplitudes add together, creating a new, amplified wave with greater intensity than the individual components. Constructive interference is the foundational mechanism that establishes a resonance hierarchy across physical, structural, and acoustic systems. Chromophore spacing is tuned to sub-nanometer precision to match the wavelengths of absorbed light, forcing constructive interference. Light-harvesting proteins form geometric rings and lattices. These shapes act as physical resonators, trapping and focusing the wave energy. This same principle dictates how opera singers shatter glass, how musical instruments resonate, and how bridges withstand structural vibrations. Nature uses the exact same math to harvest a photon as an engineer uses to design a concert hall. When you push high PPFD and elevated CO₂, you create a metabolic bottleneck. The plant cannot process the energy fast enough, leading to electron backup, light-induced damage, and a collapse from exponential growth into a flat, linear rate. UV light acts as the regulatory valve that prevents this collapse. In standard agronomy, Liebig's Law of the Minimum dictates that growth is limited by the scarcest resource. When you maximize water, nutrients, light, temperature, and CO₂, the bottleneck shifts to metabolic processing speed and photoprotection. By controlling the Redox state of the plant using UV, the xanthophyll cycle, and managing ROS, you can prevent the plant from hitting a hard photosynthetic ceiling. Instead of the growth curve flattening out (linear or plateauing due to photoinhibition), the plant continues to compound its metabolic rate efficiently. You are forcing the plant to operate at peak thermodynamic efficiency. By matching the UVB peak with sustained UVA and shifting Kelvin temperatures (2K to 6K), you are damaging the plant just enough to trigger defensive genes, while simultaneously providing the exact light energy needed to repair that damage instantly. UVA radiation and specific blue wavelengths accelerate this enzymatic conversion. Zeaxanthin acts as a structural sponge that absorbs excess excitation energy from chlorophyll and dissipates it safely, preventing ROS formation. Without UV signaling, the xanthophyll cycle cannot keep pace with extreme light, leading to dynamic photoinhibition (yield loss). The addition of Spirulina is primarily for zeaxanthin, as it contains a lot. But on top of that, the active Hawaiian Spirulina in the matrix was cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from Hawaiian aquifers and ultra-pure, deep ocean water containing all 94 trace minerals & elements. Then gently dried using patented Ocean Chill Drying technology and cold-pressed to ensure maximum nutrient levels. Spirulina, a blue-green alga, is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), making it an excellent source of nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that Spirulina can be used as a biofertilizer, effectively replacing chemical fertilizers, especially for nitrogen, with a whopping NPK of 10% (N), 20% (P), and 20% (K). Rich in proteins, amino acids, trace minerals, and plant growth-promoting compounds. Zeaxanthin is a vital plant pigment that accumulates under intense light to drive non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), acting via thermal energy dissipation, direct singlet oxygen scavenging, and thylakoid membrane stabilization. The violaxanthin cycle (or xanthophyll cycle) reversibly converts violaxanthin to zeaxanthin via antheraxanthin to protect plants from photooxidation. Understanding this interconversion is vital for optimizing non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and pushing photosynthetic limits under high-light stress. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a natural antioxidant that plants produce internally to neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species caused by photosynthesis and high light stress. Acts as a co-factor for enzymes like violaxanthin de-epoxidase in the xanthophyll cycle, which safely dissipates excess light energy. 1g ascorbic acid will neutralize 100% of chlorine in upwards of 30 gallons of tap water. If your local tap water uses chloramines (chlorine bonded with ammonia) instead of free chlorine, you will need roughly 20% to 30% more ascorbic acid to completely break the tougher chemical bond. Molecular hydrogen and hydrogen-rich water act as selective antioxidants that help lower oxidative stress. They neutralize toxic reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radicals and boost natural antioxidant defense systems in biological and plant systems exposed to high-intensity light or abiotic stress. UVA and UVB act as stress signals that upregulate the plant's secondary metabolism. It forces the plant to build an internal "sunscreen" (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and fortify its cellular defenses before the peak solar noon crisis. This keeps the metabolic highway open. In nature, the ambient ratio of UVA to UVB at solar noon sits roughly between 10:1 and 20:1 (depending on latitude and elevation). In a high-PPFD indoor matrix, maintaining a strict ratio—often aiming for around 12:1 to 15:1 UVA to UVB—provides the optimal signaling threshold. Balancing Far-Red (FR) light at "light-off" to manage the phytochrome photo-equilibrium (Pfr to Pr conversion) in tandem with the UV schedule. Omg, the logic. Hydrogen concentration and redox signaling as secondary messengers in this high-intensity loop. Under the intense solar noon matrix, the pH of the thylakoid lumen drops. This acidic environment activates the enzyme Violaxanthin De-Epoxidase (VDE), which converts violaxanthin into the photoprotective zeaxanthin. VDE cannot function in a vacuum; it strictly requires ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) as an electron donor to run this conversion. If a plant undergoes heavy light stress and runs out of internal ascorbic acid, the xanthophyll cycle stalls. The plant can no longer engage in Non-Photochemical Quenching (NPQ), leading to immediate singlet oxygen O2 formation and destruction of the thylakoid membrane. This is "The Ascorbic Acid / Xanthophyll Engine" Using ascorbic acid to neutralize chloramines in your water isn't just protecting your rhizosphere biology it actively prevents the degradation of your nutrient solution's redox potential before it ever touches the roots. When pushing plants to the absolute edge, traditional antioxidants can be a double-edged sword because they blindly neutralize all free radicals. This is a problem because some Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) act as critical signaling molecules telling the plant to grow. Molecular Hydrogen H2 is the Selective Kill-Switch. Molecular hydrogen H2 is a revolutionary tool because it is a selective antioxidant. It ignores beneficial signaling ROS (like mild hydrogen peroxide) and targets only the most destructive, cell-shattering radicals—specifically hydroxyl radicals OH) and peroxynitrite. By dosing hydrogen-rich water or managing hydrogen redox signaling, providing an emergency pressure-release valve for the plant's electron transport chain. It keeps the cellular environment stable enough that the plant never has to downregulate photosynthesis to protect itself. This maintains cellular voltage. To trigger this defensive matrix without stunting the plant, you cannot simply blast UV indiscriminately. You must use UVA as the "scout" and UVB as the "enforcer. High UVA acts via the cryptochrome and phototropin photoreceptors to upregulate the expression of the HY5 transcription factor and prime the VDE enzyme. When the sharp spike of UVB hits at solar noon via the UVR8 receptor, the plant's biochemical "sunscreen" (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and its zeaxanthin pools are already pre-staged and waiting. This prevents the temporary stunting or "lag phase" usually associated with sudden UVB exposure." The final masterstroke is aligning this UV defense with a Far-Red (FR) lights-off routine. The Red-to-Far-Red Drop: At the end of the photoperiod, knocking out the blue/UVA spectrum and leaving a targeted burst of pure Far-Red (730nm) instantly flips the plant’s master switch. It converts active Pfr to inactive Pr in minutes rather than hours. UV radiation and high-intensity lighting keep the plant in a highly alert, photoprotective state that requires massive ATP expenditure to maintain. By forcing an immediate Pfr/Pr) conversion at lights-out, instantly commanding the plant to cease defensive expenditure, lower its metabolic respiration rate, and transition directly into nighttime cellular repair and carbohydrate translocation. Maximizing the efficiency of its "sleep." every ounce, every last piece. Highly synchronized biological dance, balancing the exact input of electrons with the exact mechanism to dissipate them safely when they overflow. *Ascorbic acid is not recommended to be used in DWC, as it creates biofilm that will clog lines. Onward!

Boosted with pk and vipars

This week we should really see these colas blow up and start stacking really strong. The mixer of 7 hours of sun and 17 hours under my LEDs has really helped my girls grow strong. Nothing compares to good old Mother Nature.

22/05 Riego con agua pura antes de etapa de floración. Ph 6,5. Algunos signos de sobre fertilización, espero que baje con el riego actual. 26/05 Disculpas por las pocas actualizaciones, semana muy ocupada. Mantenemos riego con solo agua por etapa inicial de sobrefertilizacion en 3 plants. Despues de 2 dias de ultimo riego veo mejora, mañana foto de estado actual. PH 6.5. Aplicado nuevo LST.

Mack and crack / Hidroponia

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days. Little plant and little yeald. Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime. Will update the smoke test curing.

🌅🏝️🔝

🌿 Week 10: The Home Stretch! 🎂❄️ Welcome to Week 10! The 'Cake' is smelling absolutely incredible and looks like it's been dusted with powdered sugar. We are officially in the final stages of this journey, and I couldn't be happier with how this Zamnesia Wedding Cake Auto has performed. 📈 Progress Report: The Bulk: The colas are getting thick and heavy. I’m starting to see that beautiful density we’ve been working for all through flowering. Trichome Check: We are seeing mostly cloudy trichomes now with a few ambers starting to pop up here and there. Not long now! The Fade: I’ve noticed the fan leaves are starting to change color a natural sign that she’s nearing the end of her life cycle and pushing all remaining energy into the buds. 💧 Feeding & Environment: I’ve started to taper off the nutrients to prepare for the final flush. Keeping the humidity strictly low (around 40-45%) to make sure those dense buds stay safe and mold-free. The finish line is in sight! How much longer do you guys think she has?

Del 23 al 29 de diciembre: 23 de diciembre: Lavado de raíces a 3 plantas con agua sola. 24 de diciembre: Lavado de raíces de 4 plantas con agua sola. 29 de diciembre Todas las plantas están clareando las hojas, buen sintoma. Significa que hicimos bien el lavado de raíces. Los tricomas siguen poniéndose blancos, estarán el 50% blancos 50% transparentes. Tic tac.

Hello everyone 😎 A wonderful genetic thank you Dutch ❤️‍🔥🤩 The trim was super easy the buds are FAT & FROSTY full of resin 🤤 I’m very happy with the harvest 134g !! For the light i’ve used the Mars Hydro FC-E6500💡

Welcome to week 10 of my grow diary. Growth has now finally stopped. The buds are getting thicker and ripening day by day. As it gets quite damp at night, the plant is spending the night in the garage. Otherwise, dew collects in the buds and it takes too long for them to dry again, which is a high risk for mold. Now that we're nearing the end, I don't want to take any risks. You can tell that the plant is begging for nutrients even though it is getting enough fertilizer. The leaves are starting to turn slightly yellow. Autumn is beginning and the harvest is not far off. The smell is now extremely dominant and the whole garden smells when you go outside. See you next week!

They grow so fast wow. The smell is incredible.. Exactly like skittles!!

Todo va bien es asombroso como las magnum a pesar de haber terminado el mes de crecimiento vegetativo siguen creciendo de manera exuberante! Se le aplicó una poda súper cropping + LST en la punta o tallo principal por así decirlo

Esta semana una pequeña defoliación superior, solo dos hojas por planta y me decidí tarde en hacer poda de bajos , como quedaron los brotes bajos a la misma altura puede que coloque malla scrog como tutor para ayudar a soportar el peso de los futuros cogollos.

Both phenoe are pushing on nicely. Really good growth from both phenos from 1 seed, 1 had more girt. So, there wasn't an exact even growth ratio. But no pheno was hammered in any way that affected its push through pre fower and into mid fattening. I expect another 3-4 weeks and I'll harvest. Atm there's a nice Lemon exotic smell. Really dank. Musky (earthy). And popping off fruits. Really lovely set of plants. Xpert nutrients are bringing out the best in my grows. They smell, taste and pretty much everything in that regard has improved. These are my new nutrients. As hard as I've been strain hunting. I've always used a different line of Nutrients per crop. And I'm glad to say. These are by far THE BEST nutrients I've used to enhance my crop. Feeds Are pretty much a week in week out with change (all explained with my weeks, DLI and other factors), master root/enzymes have been pult. Master Root no longer needed. Enzymes are all gone. Maintenance This wk, i applied LST bamboo sticks are have done some basic node bending to get the best out of the space in the area above and around its base. Some nodes where tied back to the sticks.. Shout out to my sponsors and all who stop by.
