Grow Report Week 15: The Calm Before the Harvest Hello dear grow friends, I hope you'll forgive the brevity of this update, as I am very busy this week and don't have a day off. I'm looking forward to Sunday when I will finally have more time for my ladies. **Trolmaster Contest** Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible support provided by TrolMaster, whose contest concludes tomorrow. Without their assistance, this endeavor could have taken a very different course. I am not only thankful but also thrilled by this amazing product, which I highly recommend to all of you. There’s no need to worry about high temperatures anymore, and the ability to check your values on the go is truly invaluable. The Tent X Controller may come at a price, but it is an investment you will never regret. It offers the possibility of endless expansion with additional sensors. A heartfelt thank you once again to the support team and the representatives on Instagram. With love ❤️ **Development and Harvest Time** Everything is going according to plan, and the ladies are developing well. I estimate that they will have a harvest time of about **3-4 weeks**. Overall, I am satisfied with the progress. **Time-Lapse and Conclusion** The next few weeks will probably show hardly any noticeable changes, so the time-lapse will be finished next week. It was a great grow with many ups and downs. **Looking Forward to the Harvest** I'm looking forward to testing the ladies soon and am excited about the results. I will, of course, keep you updated. See you soon and thank you for sharing this journey with me! Your budz_bunny

This week we are working on flushing these beauties; these plants have been awesome and harvest time is nigh! we started out with a Flawless finish drench, let that sit for about six hours; after that I ran about 4 gallons through each of them and let them rest for a day; ive repeated the 4 gallons of fresh water flush every second day for about 6 days now ( 3 flushes) and we are resting at a TDS of around 75. I look forward to harvesting these in the next few days. Stay tuned 🌱✨

Se da fin a este cultivo de 2 variedad en carpa de 80x80 por 240w. La primera variedad ya en proceso de curado es la Green crack punch (5plantas) tuvieron buen crecimiento, pasaron por 2 transplantes ( 3lt a 7lt) muy rico sabor se llega a sentir los terpenos de cada cogollo. No es todo, en este mismo espacio nos quedan aun las 4 powerFlower, las cuales estos dias se iran de corte para preparar el secado y posterior curado. 5 Green crak punch

Me gusta hacer estos seguimientos y ver para atrás siempre si está creciendo o no y cómo lo viene haciendo día a día, la outlaw arranco mal, yo la pase de agua y de humedad porque era época de mucho frío y no calefaccionaba el ambiente, la planta fue desarrollando buenos tallos, musculosos, pero no ramificaba, si no le hacía una poda apical los laterales hubieran sido pobres, al resto de la planta en cuanto al olor y al sabor que tiene es realmente un 10 Para ver todos mis otros diarios https://growdiaries.com/grower/juanhaze-arg/diaries

6/17 and 9/18 Were extremely hot days. Today to reached 98 with temps still currently in the 90s as I right this at 7:22pm. Watered morning came back to discovery the bags had dried out. I watered again and fed; 3tsp big bloom, 1 calmagic, 1 grow big, 1/2 microbrew, 1 tsp unsulphered molasses. 1tsp kelp me kelp you. Watered fed and lightly watered again. 6/23 Plants seem fine post BT treatment. Found a few dead moth larvae. Plants look great and I haven't seen any negative effects from BT. Weather gas continued into the 90s. I had been watering twice daily. After examining the medium I decided to not water today as I had hit them pretty hard the day before. Fed and watered same schedule except I switched out microbrew for kangoroots on 6/23. I was going to apply second application of BT but on examination I found Aphids on my smallest mendo breath. This plant is a mendo breath reveg and I've been worried about pests due to its density. I put out two aphid traps (I doubt it will do much since the are only nymphs) and sprayed with MiteX by bromide. Cottonseed, clove and garlic oil with sodium bicarb and a few others. If this doesnt work they are all getting captain Jack's.

My new grow pros solutions under canopy lights are really making the colors popBlack Runtz is a captivating plant with its dark, fading leaves and wild-looking buds. The trichome density is incredibly thick, giving the buds a frosty appearance. It's a truly unique and beautiful plant.

These XtraKush are also finally starting to grow. It took them a while but they doubled in a week. Still a little bit pale compared to the other two strains. With a new top layer of first worm castings and then neutral organic cocopeat to combat the gnat problem and we seem to have fixed most problems. Temps are going down at night, I'm trying to fix this by keeping it warmer in the attic where the grow is. In the coming week, I'm going to train/manifold them, they are getting a bit big.

Hey growmies! This is always amongst my favorite weeks of growing, week 4 of flower. The stretching stops and our flowers start the long, beautiful process of fattening up! throughout this week I kept pulling off fan leaves, I know it's controversial with autoflowers, but this girl is big and has a lot of fan leaves. I started using my PK booster this week, lil buds are getting stickier and fatter every day, check out the timelapse! If this flower finishes nicely then the competition is already a W for me, since we would be looking at a decent harvest and weed is a great reward in itself! hope to see you next week

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !! 1/6/26 5:32AM NosfurCHURUtu......the cat treat vampire.....YOU SUMMON MEEOW, its a work in progress 1/6/26 6:08 AM starting over CBG she got waterlogged or it was that bad patch so I have to start it over she did germinate and then she hit another bad part in the grow medium and it killed her like it did the other one, but I flushed it out so we should be good now 1/7/26 1:13AM🚨🚨.I asked about light efficiency and Grok said:.... That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/6/26 5:32AM The ICE T character arc journey!!!!!!! A film by a White man....HA HA HA!!!!

23rd of July - Attempting to let the soil get “dry”. See what Mother N has to say about that. Day 3 w/no rain ! The Soil is still very moist - Last fed on the 20th - Foliar Spray in the a.m. just to tease - boy does the audio sound bad on the phones Video !! Kinda historic, sorryboutthat 24th, - added some Epsom Salts to todays feed, magnesium and sulfate for the Soil. GOOD READING AVAILABLE... - went ahead and fed on day 5, iffy weather all around. GO - only 2 gallons used 25th, - killer day finally after more rain lst nite - re-positioned two questionable side-branches, down low and in front. Whole plant is open. Not a leaf to remove. Anybody thats done this style of grow, let me know if theres a hole in the program. *** smoked some of the Beaver Seeds; Maui Wowie Autoflower that I recently grew, you know, while tending the plant today… well laugh at the fact that the 15% thc of the famous dope truly kicks Butt; seriously good weed - “next” Meal posted above, beginning the transition to bloom nutrients ! - activity at the Bud-sites is picking-up 26th, - amended the plant base w/ 2 cups of liquid phish-poop lol - next proper meal posted above ~eta 30th or 31st - anxious to get the Bloom nutes in & running 29th - big, long, burp, after sliding 3 gallons of “transition-food” into Jack - Meal is posted above with no Molasses today; TDS 1400ppm - started a MONTHLY inclusion of dissolved Epsom Salts. I will be including it in Foliar applications as well, w/ Fulvic Acid.

[NEW ~ 11.1.18I just started nutes at low doses to ease these girls in without shocking em (hopefully). I have to be careful and monitor these ladies to see how they respond. They look good so far and handled their transition to flower well. I'll update ya guys if something goes wrong, much love! Hola los amigos! Hello my friends! I'm back with week 11's (day 71) diary. Today I decided to make a longer video, which I left out a few things because I didn't want to make the video another 2-3 minutes longer :) So at the and of my weekly comment I'll mention what I didn't in the video, Thanks for checking out one my diaries, if you notice anything I'm missing let me know, I'd really appreciate it 😅 ~ Update day 71 ~ First on the list is the overall growth of these girls, I’m astounded. I’m very happy that I made the decision to use Grower Choice Seeds, even though there is a issue with my CBD Blueberry I tried some of the trimmed buds and I’ll tell you what, those buds were way immature.. but the effect was incredibly pleasant and perfect for ending a hard days work, wow I can’t wait to harvest the mother! I’ll definitely grow more CBD Blueberry on my next rotation. Still I’m wondering what could have happened to cause the CBD to bud and not the others… Oh well, It’s a good learning experience :) Now I’ll get into the individual progress notes for this week, enjoy <3 ~ Individual Progress Notes ~ [Purple Urkle #1] Height: 14.6" Tops: 16 Notes: I’m very happy to see this girl finally get a bit bushier. Having a very similar structure to her sister her genes are nowhere near as aggressive. Still I’m curious what pheno this girl is… Only time will tell. [Purple Urkle #2] Height: 15.5" Tops: 16 Notes: This Twister Sister is insane! I have to mention her clones here. I kid you not this girl is aggressive and my best grower. All her clones are massive compared to the others. I’m keeping this girl, I might even breed her with a Thai Landrace just to see what happens ;) [CBD Blueberry] Height: 18" Tops: 8 Notes: This girl is confused, poor thing :( I got her to reveg, not sure how but it happened. If you look closely at the leaves you can see the weird deformed that are a classic sign of reveging. The growth rate has increased a lot! She was my smallest plant and now she’s mt tallest, I need to do some HST or topping, don’t want her towering over the others. Now I have a question, do any of you guys know if it’s bad to reveg feminized plants? I heard a rumor that it’s not recommended but I’d like to ask my fellow growers here on GD. [Mazar] Height: 18" Tops: 16 Notes: Now this is a proper bush, a beautiful round full structure, these genetic look amazing, can’t wait to see what she matures into. I’m glad I’m stopping at 16 tops because this girl would take up the entire 4 x 4 tent if I let her, big girl :) [Super Silver Haze] Height: 15.3" Tops: 16 Notes: She’s now one of my smallest girls, though her structure and canopy is solid. She’s loving the net, let’s her breathe a bit more. I have high hope for this one, much love for Arjan and any of his creations. [White Widow] Height: 18" Tops: 16 Notes: My all time favorite! Tanya has bluish green leaves that have a platinum sheen to em. I really like the colors, I wonder how white this girl will get, If you guys have any suggestions to make WW or any strain extra frosty let me know <3 ~ Final Thoughts ~ I made it to flowering! Woop! Now it’s time for the hard part, the budz :D This has been a stressful, yet oddly relaxing (more like cathartic) and rewarding experience, I’m slowly introducing nutes every other watering. The next nute mix will be when I start week 12 (flowering) I will and some flower fuel to help boost the growth of phat buds. I’ll also add molasses and honey for carbohydrates and sweetness. The expected harvest date is around December 17th so stick around ya! See you guys next week! :) ~ Honorable Mentions ~ A big thank you to everyone who has been supporting me through this grow! I have much love and respect for these people. All the advice, tips, suggestions, and of course all the good vibes and love from the comments, much love Meus <3 Stinkfox, Tazard, SpinnerGrow, Bulbi, ValhallasGarden, Floran, ODDTODD45, and bobo420! You guys are awesome! Thanks again for everything so far, My current success is because of all of ya!

Start of week 5 gonna hit these girls with some water ph’d a little bit higher see if that helps with the white tips but seems to be doing better Update 3/13: fed them with 1/3 of a gallon each plant with feed ph’d at 7.5 blue lab pen said my soil ph was at 5.7 causing the white tips let’s see how these girls do within the next 3 days 3/17 update soil PH has been brought up to 6.5.. all good and doing wat better end of week 5
