A log with vague goals

All I’ve used is 5mg at a time in the Stampede blend from Amino Asylum a couple years back before they were knocked off. But if I recall correctly that’s a super low dose, almost negligible. I mean 1cc of that did give more endurance & vascularity than just using 400mg of plain l-carnitine, but it could also have been the 40mg of ATP it had.

Reach out to someone like Skip Hill on YouTube and see what he says. I know I’ve heard him mention it at some point somewhere.
That's a great idea.

I had stampede but I never used it, I actually don't even know what happened to it it might be kicking around here somewhere still or I might have gave it away.

Mikes AMP is 200mg/ml soooo......... Lol. That's a lot more then the 5mg in stampede. I'm thinking maybe I start 20mg pre workout and plan on making steady jumps of 20mg at a time and make notes. I gotta do more research and find some ppl who have fuxed around with it

And check out the pink hair on this one? Gotta be a mutation or something because the plant that it was cloned from does not have pink hair nor does any other plant I have.

Really impressive….the top buds or colas in that second picture are huge, and the plant with pink hair buds is pretty.😜
 
do you basically harvest seed to replant your garden every year?
No, there shouldn't be any seeds unless you stress out the plant and it turns into a hermaphrodite. Without male plants to pollinate you won't get seeds.

You either can keep a mother plant in the vegetative state (16-24 hrs of light per day) and take clones or you gotta buy more seeds.

If you're growing indoors in a controlled environment you can breed your own plants by pollinating them and making seeds and I have a buddy who does that it's where I got some from. But I only use female seeds because if you end up with one male it can pollinate every female for up to two miles. And it ruins the product, well it doesn't completely ruin it but it makes it lower quality and loaded with seeds.

I'm keeping a few mother plants under 24/hr light inside so I can make clones again after this round is done.

If your wondering why that plant in the middle looks like that, I used twine to tie back the branches so it grows into a bush and not looking like a Christmas tree.
IMG_20250920_080807_145.webp



And one of these I will keep as a mother too. Probably the one on the right

That makes sense, basically I do the same thing with my chickens to get year round eggs, and we've done cuttings from lots of other plants over the years with good success.

I do harvest some seeds from normal garden plants tho like beans, peppers, squashes and some other stuff

we've finally started doing that this year too with various items from the garden. my wife had a particular tomato plant she really liked this year so she started harvesting those seeds too. not something we've done before so it will be an interesting experiement.

Just so you know, tomatoes are super easy to clone, especially if there a indeterminate variety. This year as I was trimming up the bottoms of a bunch of my tomato plants just for the hell of it I happen to stick them into a cup of water and threw them in the little greenhouse and within like 5-6 days they all had roots. For best results you should change the water daily and use dechlorinated water or spring water but tap works, if you have well water even better.

I have used rooting hormone with my peppers and cannabis plants but I've never needed to with the tomatoes, but if you do use the rooting hormone with the tomatoes it helps even more. The powdered variety works great just take a snipping and dip it in the root hormone.

If you try using one of the liquid or gel hormones do not dip any of your cuttings directly into the bottle instead pour out a small amount into a cup and use that because you'll get contamination and it'll stop working if you're going directly into the bottle.

Doesn't seem to be an issue with the powdered root hormone tho

I actually wanted to say I think the dose is pretty big, I even wanted to say something like 100 or 200, but with the disclaimer THAT I HAVE NO IDEA AND TOO MUCH CAN DROP BP TOO FAR.

200 doesn’t sound wrong. Maybe I recall Skip talking about more, because I remember thinking something like “Damn I’d hate to have to go pin a few CCs in the bathroom right before going out basically”. Also consider that Skip saying something like 500, he is a pro coach and also claims for himself to be a “pro drug user” lol. He’s using like 700 DHB in a much bigger stack, so what he does and others should do are NOT the same. Guy has like 40 years of bodybuilding under his belt.

does the plant hormone poweder still help if you stick the cutting straight into the water cup? meaning it doesn't wash the hormone off? I have used that stuff a long time ago when I was trying with clones of roses etc but I haven't given it a try yet with veggies. I still have to build another garden bed before I can even have space to start setting up the greenhouse but we have a table in the house where my wife has her pot plants started and we could easily play with some tomato or tomatilo clones in there too

No don't put the powder on clones in water, the gel will wash off in the water but it's still in there just diluted. Those methods are more for cloning directly into soil or a plug or any kind of medium.
Cloning directly in water works great for many vegetables but for some reason I have terrible luck rooting cannabis clones in water. I only get like 2-3 out of 10 that way and it takes like 3 weeks. A lot of the time it seems like the stems get too soggy before the roots have a chance to grow.

Rooting directly into a seed starter mix or peat moss and a humidity dome I have great around 75° with a humidity dome. Doing that with the root hormone I get more like 7-8 out of 10 in as little as 5 days and up to about 2 weeks.

You can do that with any cheap seed kit and a heat Mat.

Sometimes I just do solo cups, but those started on a seed heat mat under a cheap plastic dome

And of course they make a bottom half to those does that have like 12 to 24 spaces for seeds or in our case, clones

I'll try to get you pics of what my wife has started later, but the heat mat, damn I feel like an idiot, that is absolutely genius. keeps your soil temps up.... never even thought about that. I bet a heat mat in a greenhouse would be one of the cheapest ways to help plants in the colder seasons in the PNW

My buddy has a pop up greenhouse 6x6 that sits against the foundation of his house on the side that gets the most sun. He has a ext chord come out the basement window and it feeds into the greenhouse where it plugs in four seedling mats one and a 50 gallon water container with a oversized fishtank heater in it. There's 1 seed mat on each shelf and the light is for cloudy days, the big bucket of water on sunny days warms up and that heat slowly transfers at night but he doubles down and turns on the fish tank heater at night to keep it warmer longer, on days it's not Sunny he turns the fish tank heater on too. I know last year he had vegetables growing in December, leafy greens, spices, cucumbers that he hand pollinated and a few other things. He had a weed plant that was one of those California sativa's that flower for like 12+ weeks and in the greenhouse he got it 3 weeks past the first frost so it could finish flowering. That's pretty cool because the average temperatures around Thanksgiving is about 50 and freezing some nights and by Christmas it's 40 and freezing at night regularly. Although we do get a few warm days here and there it's weird man the weather around here the past few years has been a little warmer than normal in the winter.

But either way dude was growing vegetables outdoor till Christmas. It was around that time that he couldn't really keep it warm enough anymore.

Vivosun makes a space heater that's safe for grow tents so I think this year he's going to put one of those in it.

thats kinda hilarious cause I had similar thoughts and had done a deep ai dig on things like using fish tank water to help with the ambient temp.

I use an Inkbird controller on the reef tank to keep the temperature stable between 78-80f year round with two heaters in it. I had thought about doing the same thing in the greenhouse with maybe a 100g tank if I can find one on marketplace for free or cheap to start the fingerling fish then move them to a growout pond early spring when temps are high enough and circulate the water into the greenhouse as the filtration method so the plants get the benefit of the aquaponics...

I'm getting sorta down to the wire. I should have the first row of new garden beds done this weekend. Then the following weekend setup row 2. then in Oct start the greenhouse part of it. IDK if we'll truly get anything "planted" in the greenhouse in 2025 at this point but if we have it set up before halloween then we'll be good to go for an early 2026 kick off.

I got a empty 100gal tank sitting in my daughter's room, it was going to be for a turtle but once I told her she couldn't take it to college with her she decided she didn't want to get it and we had already bought all the stuff. One of my cats tries to get inside of it so he can dig in the sand , and the lid is a special kind with a raised box so I had do a makeshift "hardtop cover" and it's basically just a giant cat bed now lol.

I thought about doing something like that with this.
IMG_20250926_052419_637.webp
 
dude you could literally setup an aquaponics system right there on that stand as it sits. My wife came across like a little 5g fish tank that someone abandoned at a property. the filter just pulls fish water and sends it through the lid which is filled with gravel for rooting plants. so she has a handful of tetras or something in the tank water at her office while plants grow in the gravel!

i way overcomplicate the system I have in my head but this stuff works! I've seen people growing mangrove trees out of their saltwater fish tanks like you'd see them in the rivers in costa rica.

I can't do it in the main house because 2 of my cats like to chew on plants and my female will literally eat a leafy green vegetable down to the stem. She lives spinach and lettuce and almost anything green.

It's funny she loves vegetables but she's like 15 lb she's obese, I'm sure you guys have seen me post the picture of her sitting on the table with her gold chain looking like a linebacker for the Raiders lol

I don't go to the dispensary, but the guy I buy from grows for a company in Massachusetts, whatever the dispensary doesn't buy goes out the back door.

Sometimes I can pick up 4oz for 400 and the same stuff at the dispo is $70/quarter, Im paying $25:)

He actually came by the other day to check out my plants and steal some clippings from my honey cream and left me a variety pack of samples lol
IMG_20250924_150425_017.webp

I like the packaging for those, I looked up there stuff and it looks great! I just tried to find a retailer near me but nope:(

Yeah, its awesome bro..

They have won the last couple 'Cannabis Cups'

High quality bud
 
Ok, time for a new training phase, but also, I'm not able to run anything. Im even lowering my TRT to 60mg 2x week and I just finished a bttl of HCG and which is the first time I used it in years, then I did a bttl of KISSPEPTIN. I did it just to see if It would help with potential low E symptoms. (It didn't) But both did make me wanna hump something every 45min 😂 will follow up with 2-3pumos dermacrine per day And I'm still trying to figure out a few minor issues that at this point may not be gear related at all. I'm actually pretty confident it is just arthritis and lack of proper sleep lol. Got a sports physical and bloods next month already so I figured let's let everything clear out and normalize as much as possible.

Non cycle ideas are to continue SLU at 750mcg 2x day as it strongly appears like it has potential health benefits.

I have injectable glutathione and healing peptides on hand so I may double down on a health phase by adding some of those things.

Anxiety is still high but more manageable. Typically when anxious Im still 95-100bpm, resting heart rate is in the 80's but blood pressure is wonderful, 117/81 was my lowest and 127/85 was my highest in my last 6 readings taken mid day around lunch each time.

Couple things I'm considering are

a beta blocker to bring resting heart rate to the 60-70 range is ideally where I'd like it. I've never used a beta blocker so I'm hesitant and would like to know if any of you have used one?

Also I wanna work on gut health a little bit more too. That's always a issue with me. I'm often runny in the morning and normal bowel movement by mid to late day but this tells me my IBS needs some fixing.

Besides probiotics and fermented foods do you have any suggestions?

And glutathione....... @Hyde what's a good dose/frequency for glutathione. It's injectable 200mg x 20ml of the SETRIA shelf stable glutathione.

I think your the only person in the chat that has used glutathione injections, I could be wrong, all advice is welcome.

I'm planning on backing off of hypertrophy work for the next 6 weeks so I can focus on strength maintenance and cardio and conditioning work will be more important.

I want to be squeaky clean on my bloods next month so anything else you guys suggest, I'm all ears.

Overall I have everything set up and planned out but maybe you guys have some better ideas

As far as gut health, I’ve had to deal with ulcers in the past. It got really bad the last time I ran Superdrol, probably 6 years ago or so. And, yes, probiotics help, but what healed my stomach, and was a tremendous help, was taking BPC 157 orally. Of course that’s the only thing I recommend it orally for, but it’s great for gut health, and I believe has studies on it’s positive effects on IBS.
 
Glutathione dosage mainly depends on why you are taking it. Daily use, 1-200mg is plenty. For a weekly recovery and Immune boost, 600mg/3cc shot makes a real difference. Beyond that kind of dosage, I think you’re looking more at therapies like fighting cancer, skin whitening, etc.

Heard a lot of positive about oral BPC for gut like GP said.

I think finding fruits and veggies that work well with you, ie fiber, can be helpful to give your stool some better body. Not hard for most people to add an apple, orange and something else like a banana daily. Nuts can be a good source of fiber as well if looking for a tasty convenient portable idea.

I wonder if I can drink the injectable BPC? I don't know if that's a thing lol. I know of places that have the oral but I've never used any of those suppliers so if anybody's got a suggestion I'm all ears.

I'm also going to be focusing on low fodmap fruits and vegetables.

I've added baby carrots, green beans and bell peppers in place of other foods

Apples, bananas, oranges and pineapple

Lean meat, white rice, some Greek yogurt.

Basically a few years back I was pretty much eating like this all the time and using the Greek yogurt for dipping sauces and stuff like that and that's the direction I'm heading back to.

Glutathione would be general health purposes so 100/day is where il go with that to start

Drinking recon’d BPC is the normal way; you don’t need capped powder or anything. Mix and squirt down the hatch, just like eating Winstrol suspension.
 
Another question for you guys. Ive been getting a lot of ppl looking for 1 time meal plans and I'm kinda torn because even though I know I can make these guys fantastic meal plans catered to their goals, the plan I give you is only going to work for a few weeks before you got to start making adjustments, or I have to set your deficit a little steep so it works longer, or I have to include a bunch of information to explain to the person how or when they need to make adjustments.

In order for me to give someone a really good one-time meal plan with everything they need to know to make their own adjustments I first need them to give me their current meal plan, how long they've been on it, what they're starting weight was and what their weight is now, and then include a bunch of other variables to come up with a 30-day meal plan and how to make adjustments after your 30 days.

There's a good amount of work that has to go into it and I'm stumped on what to charge for it. In my mind it seems ridiculous to charge somebody 50 or 100 bucks for a one-time meal plan but its a little process to really make it custom. I need at least 2 emails, one where I basically give them a questionnaire to get all their information then they got to send it back to me I got to look it over talk to them about a few things that they've been doing which requires me sending another email and then I have to put it together, the whole process could take a day or two but if you think about the actual time I spend working on it it's probably 2 to 3 hours total per meal plan.

If I had to do 10 custom meal plans this week even though there's only about 30 working hours on it it's going to consume a lot of my days because there's going to be a lot of back and forth and I almost would just rather tell people it's not worth my time.

I guess have any of you ever paid anybody for one time meal plans versus monthly updated meal plans and coaching and whatnot, what did they charge and how much effort do you think they actually put into it.

I don't want to be the scumbag doing AI generated meal plans that I spend 10 minutes tweaking and give everybody a cookie cutter diet
 
Fuckin cat ate something again and I got a go do another vet trip for x rays and pray. Is vet Bill's going to cost me about 10 meal plans 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
 
There's a good amount of work that has to go into it and I'm stumped on what to charge for it. In my mind it seems ridiculous to charge somebody 50 or 100 bucks for a one-time meal plan
I don't think this sounds high at all, maybe low. and them spending money on it makes them vested, so maybe they'll commit. I can't remember what my wife paid but she had hired a female BB'er who was also a coach for I think 4 or 8 weeks (or maybe it was 4 weeks twice). it included a brief weekly check in. wife had to send pics I think every Sunday and she'd get a boiler plate response from the coach with small adjustments here and there.

my wife and I weren't convinced that the emails were truly tailored to my wife's progress and were on the fence to as whether or not the coach even looked at the pictures etc, but my wife made fantastic progress after years of struggling and has kept her self within 2-3lbs of that progress for the last 14 months so it was a worthy investment for her.

my thoughts are that you tailor it around what you think is optimal and make that the option so that you feel good about the service you are providing.... people ask for help because they don't know... so they can't really be the words of wisdom in this type of scenario, they will have to trust you and your knowledge to guide them.
 
Another question for you guys. Ive been getting a lot of ppl looking for 1 time meal plans and I'm kinda torn because even though I know I can make these guys fantastic meal plans catered to their goals, the plan I give you is only going to work for a few weeks before you got to start making adjustments, or I have to set your deficit a little steep so it works longer, or I have to include a bunch of information to explain to the person how or when they need to make adjustments.

In order for me to give someone a really good one-time meal plan with everything they need to know to make their own adjustments I first need them to give me their current meal plan, how long they've been on it, what they're starting weight was and what their weight is now, and then include a bunch of other variables to come up with a 30-day meal plan and how to make adjustments after your 30 days.

I agree with Dustin….that’s not charging too much at all. The key here is it’s a custom meal plan for each individual and their goals, so that should cost more than a cookie cutter meal plan. And knowing the way you go all in when doing something, they are not only paying for your knowledge, but you are also a resource for them as they do the plan and may have questions. And I have found people tend to not mind paying for something that is custom and tailored to their individual needs.
 
Everything I’ve read has given oral BPC 157 1-2% bioavailability when taken orally. SubQ is the best way.
That’s referring to subq for inflammatory issues such as injuries like a muscle tear or sprained ankle and the injection needs to be as close to the injury as possible. If your issue is stomach related oral BPC works fine. BPC is made from gastric juices of the stomach.

Sub q actually the worst way to take BPC. When injecting it you need to inject it as close to the injury as possible and that's why to fix your stomach you have to ingest it.

tb500 on the other hand goes systemic and that works best sub q. Orally TB 500 is useless
 
I was going to say something along the lines of $200-300/month, the price you’d pay for cheap bodybuilding coaching. Or at least $150, what you would pay for training programming.

$50 is what you pay for Ebook templates that require the user to make the adjustments and are a one-size-fits-all starter kit essentially. Great super budget option or if you want to be your own coach/tinkerer, but it takes time to work a diet.
 
BPC does, it's actually modeled after an amino acid sequence found in your gastric juices. It's part of what protects your stomach acid from eating through your stomach
I want to preface this and say I am in no means disagreeing with you. I think all ideas should be considered when taking anything.

This is what my research has come up with.

HCL and pepsin in the stomach break down all peptides to include BPC157. Then it goes to the first part of small intestine which then gets cleaved by proteolytic enzymes.

It’s suppose to be absorbed through enterocytes but BPC157 is too big (15 amino acids long) so it doesn’t get absorbed

Once it hits the liver the liver destroys it through hepatic metabolism.

I am in no means an expert or saying that this is to be taken as fact. This was the most broken down explanation to me about taking BPC157 orally. I would love to hear all sides of this. I think it’s important to have these discussions when it comes to what we put in our bodies.

But they have actually done research using BPC 157 for stomach issues, and it definitely helps. I have used it myself for ulcers and it helped heal them completely, and no it wasn’t a placebo, they were no longer there on scans. BPC 157 doesn’t work well orally for other parts of the body, and must be injected near the injury for that. But it absolutely works for the stomach, and that’s what they originally tested it for.

Research suggests BPC-157 may promote healing and protection in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by stimulating new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and supporting the intestinal lining. Studies indicate it acts as a "membrane stabilizer" and "free radical scavenger," potentially counteracting damage from agents like alcohol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, BPC-157 has not been approved by regulatory bodies like the FDA and lacks comprehensive clinical studies in humans, limiting its recognized medical use despite promising preclinical findings.
Preclinical Research and Mechanisms

  • Angiogenesis and Tissue Repair: BPC-157 stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, which helps in the repair of injured tissues, including the intestinal lining.
  • Cytoprotection and Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It helps protect cells from damage and can reduce inflammatory responses, which is beneficial in treating inflammatory bowel conditions.
  • Protection Against Endothelial Injury: The peptide has been shown to protect the endothelium (the lining of blood vessels) from damage caused by various insults, which is a precursor to epithelial damage.
  • Specific Damage Counteraction: Research has demonstrated that BPC-157 can counteract lesions induced by alcohol, NSAIDs, and other harmful conditions.

That’s awesome to hear!! First person accounts are the best to learn from. What form did you take it in and from where if you’re allowed to say.

What is that passage from? A study? If so can you link it or site it? I would love to read it.
