7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.

So beautiful looks its going vey well apart of thats its too hot the heat from the lights if there is no air circulation it gets very humid and i have to leave the tent open

Die kleine Indica Kämpferin hält jetzt super mit, ist aber immernoch erhöht. Ich denke ich lass sie auch einfach oben stehen. Wenn man die Zuckerblätter zupft, kann man ein stark erdigen Geruch erriechen.

This was a beautiful week. The girls started to flower, they feel really nice. There were no significant changes, everything goes as expected. A ladybug visited my garden, I decided to keep her as protection from mites. I never had problems with them, but we can never know. :)

All going well…I had 11 in total but had to give some to a friend to finish off in a tent because I’m afraid they won’t make it before the bud rot sets in! I may take them back off him depending l!

Shit got out of control, i had to perform an LST to keep the big sister under control and she is the biggest plant I’ve ever grown although She is developing buds everywhere and im not really sure but for me this is bad as i think sometimes less is more, its clear that the plant just can’t distribute the same nutrients on 10 buds/20buds, so i expect them to be soft and not potent, maybe THAT xxl pheno, im sure someone else could have get even more, shame that I can’t clone her Little sister is looking so nice tho, Perfect structure, just amazing looking and beautiful to its maximum

09.10 After the problem with the brown spots on the Gorilla Cookies on the left did get worse I decided to flush with 60l auf just ph‘ed water. Runoff ph tended towards 7 when I poured the first liters in and ended up at around 6.4. After the soil was dry again I fed her again but took a lighter dosage. The other Gorilla Cookies does also have some brown spots but not nearly as much as the other one. I went here also easy with nutrients and it didn’t get worse for some time now. I think she needs 2 more weeks until I can harvest her. The Mango Smile got the stretch I was hoping for and is now the biggest plan in my tent. Hopefully she is done soon though 😄.

Ya llegó la anhelada cosecha y almacenamiento de esta hermosa variedad. Disfruté mucho cultivandola, no tuve mayores inconvenientes más que una pequeña deficiencia de nitrógeno que corregí oportunamente. El frasco huele hermosamente bien. Destacan aromas cítricos y dulces, en la molienda se hace mucho más predominante ese tono acido/cítrico del limón, al encender y fumar afloran sabores terrosos, dulces como masa de galletas y cítrico de limón. Una variedad completa, que dejará con un gran subidon a experimentados y noveles.

01.07. Blue Sunset Sherbet Day 63# Well, like this... the situation is much better, the plant has completely recovered, even if it was the least affected, but it was, for sure. She started extracting a little nitrogen from the lower leaves, but no big deal, the last two waterings only received clean water, so it's not surprising, although she was a little hungrier from the beginning because I thought that in the country where there is more food, however, it turned out that there is less, and again I can't exaggerate because of the accumulation of salt, and it wouldn't make sense to suddenly increase the dose of food or the number of feedings, I could only cause a problem. Just slowly and gradually. I will leave those leaves until the next watering, because then I will feed her, and then I will remove them, so that she does not extract nitrogen from the next leaves. One thing that caught my eye is that the plant is quite thin and tall, so it might be a male, I wouldn't want to guess, but it's not impossible even if the seed is feminized. I'm very suspicious of everything, but maybe I'm just tripping, maybe it's only up to the pot, it's not wide and it's not a big volume, although I've had much wider and thicker plants in slightly bigger pots than this one and at this time, the stems on this one are a little thicker than inside. Today is the end of the ninth week for the plant. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

I harvested these indoor plants at 62 days old. I harvested a little early due to some electrical problems and mold that started; to preserve the harvest, I brought it forward. During curing, I didn't have much mold incidence, apart from the buds that showed signs of growth inside the grow tent. The cookie flavor is very present and characteristic; I sense a touch of the sorbet line. The smell of the veg is very good and strong. I have some clones of the best phenotypes, and I will certainly have them again. Relaxing effects and good for focus, balance, sustained concentration, and body relaxation.

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

At this point all of them are doing pretty good except the Merengon, I dont think she will make it

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Harvest report in progress. Please check back soon for update..

Hola gente! Hermosa semana para esta planta, esta genética es muy fuerte, algo con lo que da gusto trabajar y ver crecer. Se la ve muy bien en el sustrato nuevo, un alto contenido de materia orgánica calculado más o menos para aprovechar la línea de Big Bud que nos dió Plagron. Esta genética tiene un aspecto bastante Índico, buen follaje y poco espacio entre nudos, por lo que alejamos la luz para que se estire un poco y aplicamos LST acercando otra vez la luz para aprovecharla todo lo posible. Apenas fue necesario quitar una hoja antes del entrenamiento. El tallo es muy flexible y resistente a la vez, no quisimos hacer una poda apical para buscar un mega bud en el ápice. Ahora tiene un nivel de humedad más óptimo gracias a el nuevo humidificador, algo de lo que estoy realmente orgulloso 😂 El riego se hace cada 3 días y se realiza con pequeñas aplicaciones para evitar escurrir nutrientes. El pH del agua de riego es 6.5 y la salida es de 7. Un pequeño rastrillado a la zona de alrededor del tallo para mantener el sustrato y no más que eso. Muchas gracias por pasar aquí y tomarse su tiempo 👌 IRIE Si tienes algún consejo te lo agradecería!

Still very small... but the cube are small too, there were little white roots (not a lot) on the bottom and side. As the plastic container was larger I was afraid they got some direct light. Also... I had a fail with the heating control and temperature jumped at 32º for 8h during the night! The rock wool cubes dried and hope they didn't suffer to much stress. 23/01/2022: no grow... don't get why it's so slow. Note: the nutrients in power are expressed in g/L (not ml/L). I have to say I'm not pretty convinced but still give a try with those kind of nutrients. I have the "chance" to get a water at home with pH 7 and Ec 0.05, pretty much a free osmosis treatment!

Altogether this was an amazon experience no complaints at all I look forward in the future grows and lesson to come forth because I know there's plenty more to learn

MY WEED SMELLS LIKE WEED. Filling the room, creeping through the apt, what a glorious time. No major smell worries where I am so I'm just enjoying the atmosphere. 😍 On to Backbuilding/Bud Tipping. (Shoot me any advice on this down below!) I experimented back mid-week with 3 tipped buds that had similar control buds side-by-side. After 4 days there is a noticeable difference in density and bud structure in the 3 tipped buds compared to the very fluffy and softer buds next to them. No overall size difference but the tipped buds are rock hard and filling in gaps down the cola compared to the untipped buds. A light squeeze on both a tipped bud and untipped will tell you the difference right there. Happy with the results after seeing them for myself and lucky enough to find this technique at the end of week 4, I tipped majority of the main colas on Danny and some larger buds on Arnold today. Which means I also get what OG growers call a "First Taste" once my tips dry out and cure for a few days. 😛 Other than tipping, I've just had to keep up with Arnold's feedings since lower leaves are still fading if I skip mineral nute feedings. Looks like they will be getting only PH Perfect and/or Molasses feedings until the final flush since they can't get enough food in the ProMix medium. I've still had constant defoliation during to avoid leaf overlap and light blockage. Since I'm now entering week 5 of flower I'll have to get it where I want in the next couple days and go hands off for the last month or so. Thanks for checking out my grow! Follow along as we're getting to the good part and I'll update again this week once the tipping sets in 💪 MID-WEEK UPDATE: Random Heat/Humidity wave in Southern Ontario so I'm keeping a close eye on the buds after dark periods. Keeping air moving well so far so hopefully I can avoid mold/mildew in last few weeks. Twins are looking good. Arnold still super hungry so I've upped the nutes a tad and skipped plain water feeding until the flush. Just fed them PH Perfect/Molasses cocktail. Big Arnold on the right is definitely rootbound by how the water is draining so I'm looking at a lower yield from the right plant. I get run off from small Danny during a regular feed but takes a lot more to get any from Arnold and I don't want to overwater in this random heat/humidity wave. The Backbuilding/BudTipping is working like a charm. The tipped buds are filling down and way more dense than the untipped. Popped the SoundLink in the tent today to give the twins some music while I go about my business. PLANT PLAYLIST: Vulfpeck - Mr Finish Line Anderson Paak - Ventura Prince - Purple Rain Remastered Unless anything crazy happens I'll update at start of week 6 flower.
