Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

Day 99 - Ripening week in DWC a. pumped out the Flowering blend, and installed the Ripen b. this plant is certainly a small bush like FastBuds claimed c. I can see how this would be perfect for SOG d. Her pistils are all almost colored, and the trichomes are milky Day 100 a. I always love using Ripen, it works so well b. first day, already notice the top of the buds filling out more c. her life is coming to an end. she will get this week to ripen, then next week we will flush/chop d. growing in DWC makes the ripening and flushing mush faster than other substrates Day 101 - the purple is setting in a. looks like they are ripening up fast, the purple is getting darker and the buds harder Day 102 - ripening really nice, the smell is quite intense a. she is smelling up our barn, we dont have a filter b. Ripen always makes the buds very hard, she is drinking a L a day right now in the end. Day 104 - incredible smell a. this is finally smelling pungent like kush, well kushy haze b. sampled a small top bud, its killer c. Will be cutting down in a few days Day 105 - ripe a. the buds are ripe, I will gradually start the flush before harvest b. will give them 1 or 2 more days of ripen formula, then flush with Florakleen for a day

Yooo gang updateee!!! Soo bad news first, the small tent with the godfather og mother had sadly passed away and expired, simple put she got way to close to the light AND turns out the air discs I was using were completely swalloed and wrapped up by the roots, so that mega blows. NOW the good news, I actually have a couple new plants in the large tent with the clones, a GDP that's about 4 weeks in on veg, and a NYC Sour Diesel which is about 2 weeks out from seed, will keep updating on what I do with those, other then that the clones from the godfather og are doing really really well will keep updating as the days and weeks go on thanks for stopping by gang!!!!

We have hit day 35 and everything's looking great! Only 2 girls out of 8 have started flowering in the past day or two, the remaining six have shown sex and I'm anticipating flowering to begin sometime this week. I gave them a full feeding today. I'm using H&G Coco A+B, which is used from seed to harvest, unlike many other nutrient brands. I will start using H&G Bud-XL in the next few days, luckily I got a bottle before the shops close for Christmas. I didn't expect these autos to get so big so fast, but I'm definitely not complaining. Update day 37 - 26/12/20 I fed the girls their first dose of bud-xl today. 5/8 girls have started to flower now, hopefully, in the next few days the other 3 start up! Update: Day 40 - 29/12/20 6/8 girls are flowering now, the two that aren't are the 2 weird pheno runts.. I've submitted a grow question regarding the 2 weird girls. I'm hoping that they're simply late to flower and not a photoperiod.. I've been feeding the girls 1-2 litres each every day, with a plain PH'd water run every 7-14 days. Update day 41 - 30/12/20 All the girls have started to flower now :D I'm incredibly happy to see them so healthy at this point too I was almost going to put the 2 runts outside but I'm leaving them inside at this point. Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to all :)

The plants bounced back after the defoliation and a watering with Squid concentrate and some water that had banana peels soaked in it for a few days. I just got the Fox Farms trio of nutes and will introduce those on the next watering.....probably tomorrow. Now, to search for what the light patches on the leaves are. Hmmmm?

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!"""

Vamos familia que ya actualizamos la cosecha de estas Candy Rain de Zamnesia, para el concurso POWER BUDS Plagron x Zamnesia CONTEST. Ya era hora de cosechar, estoy bastante contento con los resultados. Vaya flores que se han marcado repletas de tricomas, y las flores se marcan aromas dulces y afrutados. Es una variedad bastante fácil de cultivar y muy resistente, crecieron desde el principio bien vigorosas, sin problemas y al final de todo recompensó. Las condiciones ambiéntales han sido máximas en 25 y mínimas en 20 y una humedad estable en torno al 36% al final de floración y en el secado. Os comento que tengo un descuento y para que compréis en la web de Zamnesia de un 20%, el código es ZAMMIGD2023 The discount 20% and the code is ZAMMIGD2023 https://www.zamnesia.com/ Espero que disfruteis este diario, buenos humos 💨💨

She’s picking up speed! Guessing another 2.5-3 weeks maybe— hoping for 2! She’s piney, sticky as all get up and just a beauty! Loving this plant! ✌️🏻💚

Hallo Leute, diese Woche gab es kein Wurmtee, da sehr wenig davon entstanden ist. Das lag sicher an den vergangenen kalten Tagen und Nächten. Erste Maßnahme: Wurmbox anfüttern, feuchtes Papier und leicht durchmischen, damit die Mikrobiologie beim Zersetzen Reste den Würmern behilflich ist - s. Video 1. Ansonsten ist die Lady erwartungsgemäß in ihrer letzten Phase angekommen, was die herbstliche Färbung anzeigt. Die Pflanze zieht Nährstoffe aus ihren Blättern. Eine Vielzahl der Pistillen sind bereits orange-braun gefärbt - die Ernte ist nicht mehr lange hin - s. Video 2. Es ist jetzt schon ersichtlich, dass die Buds um 1/3 geringer sind, als bei dem Grow davor mit 30 Litern. Das wird auch mein künftiges Set-Up für die Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde - 30. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur sind weiterhin mit 52% und 23 Grad stabil. Die Leistung der Lampe habe ich für die restlichen zwei Wochen auf 60% erhöht, um die Entwicklung der Buds zu pushen. Der Geruch ist zurückhaltend, aber wehe, man kommt versehentlich an die Blüten, explodiert es förmlich in einer süßen und cremigen Note - unaufdringlich gut. Die Trauermücken sind erledigt und entwickelte sich nicht zu einer größeren Problematik. Ich bin weiterhin zufrieden mit der Gelato Auto. __________ Hi everyone, there was no worm tea this week as very little was produced. This was likely due to the recent cold days and nights. First step: feeding the worm bin, adding damp paper, and mixing it slightly to help the microbiology break down scraps for the worms – see Video 1. Otherwise, as expected, the lady has reached her final stage, indicated by the autumnal colors. The plant is pulling nutrients from its leaves. Many of the pistils have already turned orange-brown – harvest isn't far off now – see Video 2. It’s already apparent that the buds are about 1/3 smaller than in the previous grow using 30 liters. That will be my future setup for the Sonnenerde organic hemp soil – 30 liters. Humidity and temperature remain stable at 52% and 23 degrees. I’ve increased the lamp power to 60% for the remaining two weeks to push the bud development. The scent is subtle, but if you accidentally touch the flowers, it literally explodes with a sweet and creamy note – unassumingly good. The fungus gnats are gone and didn't turn into a major issue. I’m still very happy with the Gelato Auto.

BPP started the fourth week showing potential, the plant is thick, vigorous, I start to regret not having put it in a bigger pot. On the 25th day I applied my homemade FAA in the morning, 2ml/L. On the 27th day the cultivation of up to 6 female marijuana plants was decriminalized in Brazil, as well as the possession of up to 40g 🙌 On the 28th day I made a new mixture of soil with bone meal, dolomitic limestone and bokashi, I used some perlite for the aeration too.

Day 50 since seed touched soil. They overgrew everything !!! Devil is HUGE and strong and hungry ;)))) . I think i was late with top up, they developed fast and used a lot. I check run off for ppm, but thought 800 still ok, it was not. So big last top up !!! plus to call it measuring would be sin, i collect all run off, mixed from all 3 plants, but its still gives small feel. ALL NUTRITIONS ARE GRAMS TO POT LITRES !!!! Neutralise is in real measurement only. Great White - 3 g each pot Biosys - 3g each pot Charge - 30 g each pot Life-Cycle - 60 g each pot Bio-Blend - 100 g each pot Watered straight after, 4 liters went in. Some girls are almost brushing Mars Hydro TSL2000 and i see no issues if air is moved and temp with humidity allows it. Great light, plants grow very well, too well ;)))) will do new clearing after two waterings, want girls to eat first, make bigger roots, then i will resize again to concentrate more on tops. MARS HYDRO TSL2000: 300W, Flower 2'x4', Veg 3'x5' It's recommended for beginners. Low-budget & high-efficiency. Took down first time ever LST while still growing. Needed space of pot, for last top up and i think they will breath better without, branches are stiff, i would add silica to feed at such time, to stiff them, but i go with one line only, just full beans ;))) Happy growing !!!
