1.) I trained an AI with various data from previous runs and detailed information about my soil/box
2.) Based on this profiles were selected (taste, smell, size, %THC etc.pp).
3.) I decided for one seedbank (to safe some shipping costs)
4.) Based on my profile, AI selected 3 strains
5.) AI time schedule (s. picture) was created
6.) Instructed AI to maintain the run and how communication will be done for the run
Lazy because I want (to test) my trained AI to do most of the work, e.g.:
- Watering (already precalculated and programmed; if needed adjustable based on photo analysis)
- Light intensity / height (see above)
- Training (Lollypop + LST; AI instructed)
Target is to do just a little bit more lollypopping than I am usuable comfortable with. Also because of lazyness, i.e. few niiiiiice buds and less time effort better than big yield and endless harvesting.
Also I'd like to have a standard auto strain with always something in stock (So many strains, so few time, so few space...) that was the main reason for AI training.
Sadly, flowering times are not totally in sync and I probably have to adjust heights.
Germination in coconut @22 - 24 °C
Start: 27.12. D0
Pop: D2 Mix
Pop: D3: All popped ,Put them in the tent @50 W , 40 cm ~22-24°C ; 1st change, to keep the temperature above 22 °C I'll give them 24h
D5 Removed the cover. ~22-24 °C ~80% RH; Mars Hydro on lowest ventilation 30 mins. active 2h pausing. Added 2 KI logos for the grow.
D6 Signs of roots, so I put them in the final pot. AI changed the height from 40 cm to 20. ~22-24 °C ~80-90% RH. Mars Hydro + Second Ventilation 30min on / 30 min off
D7
Overview of changes to original plan:
- 24/0 instead of 18/6 (temperature control
- one watering intervall after installation of the system
AI adjustments:
- Lamp distance - 20 cm instead of 40 cm
No hate, just love(ly and construcitve critizism). Thx.
Sponsors welcome, PM. :-p
Edit: I know there is something like pheno, but if one pheno taste's like a$$ I don't need the strain at all ;-)
D2 s. AI plan. Only Mars Hydro ventilation 24/0 (2/3).
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D3 24/0 to 20/4 according to first plan.
1x water (60 ml)
AI PAR Estimate:
Current: 80W @ 25cm = ~450–600 µmol/m²/s (center), ~350–450 µmol/m²/s (edges).
Optimum: 200–400 µmol/m²/s for seedlings.
Max Absorption: ~20 mol/day with 24h, ~16 mol/day with 20/4 (seedlings need ~12–15 mol/day).
Comment: 24h provides slight surplus but not essential. 20/4 is more efficient and reduces stress.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D6 1x water
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D7 Complete analysis (overview, then every single plant):
10.01.2025 (D14 / W01D7): Plants stable, 80 W light at ~25 cm, no stress signs. Humidity (85%) and temperature (~24°C) optimal. Light increase to 120 W planned for 11.01.2025. No actions needed.
Plant Summary – 10.01.2025 (W01D7 / D14)
Apricot: Stable growth, no issues, good leaf development; Grade: A
Mix#2: Symmetrical, healthy leaves, great condition; Grade: A- (Slightly slower growth compared to Apricot)
Purple Lemonade: Good leaf structure, no issues; Grade: B+ (Growth slightly behind)
Mix#1: Robust, symmetrical, slightly more compact; Grade: B (Could show more vigor)
California Snow: Healthy, smaller than others; Grade: B (Slightly behind in height)
Order (Best to Worst): Apricot, Mix#2, Purple Lemonade, Mix#1, California Snow
Comment: The grading is more or less forced and of course has probably not much meaning ;-)
I am afraid the stupid machine will be too polite to critisize anything if I do something wrong or the plants look poor😂
AI PAR Estimate:
Current: 120W @ 25cm = ~550–700 µmol/m²/s (center), ~450–550 µmol/m²/s (edges).
Optimum: 400–600 µmol/m²/s for early vegetative stage.
Max Absorption: ~24 mol/day with 24h, ~20 mol/day with 20/4 (plants at this stage need ~15–20 mol/day).
Comment: Current setup is within the optimal range for vegetative growth. Monitoring intensity daily to keep it slightly above optimum for maximizing yield potential without causing stress.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D1 1x water ; AI adjusted the height to 36 cm (longer internodes for better lollypopping), was the target in the original plan anyway.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D2 AI calculated a customized nutrient schedule based on informations of my recycled soil and the leftover nutritions.
Adaption of AI: W10 AI proposed flushing of the soil, as I recycle and have living worms (so proud ;-) ) in it. I dont like to flush all micro life away and drain all my worms. Even if the corpses could be basis for new micro life 😈
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D3 1x water
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D4 As I raised the height, AI and stupid me forgot to adjust the wattage/PAR according to the new height. 😤Therefore, raised to 160W.
Analysis of all parameters, overview of tent and a shot of each plant. Here is the AI report:
14.01.2025 - W02D04 | D18:
Conditions: Light set to 160W at 36 cm. Temperature: 24.5–28°C day, 19.8–21°C night. RH: 65–75%.
Observations: All plants healthy, no signs of stress. Growth and structure remain consistent.
Changes: Light intensity increased to 160W and height adjusted to 36 cm for better stretch, aiming for higher internodal distance to facilitate harvesting. Decision made independently to achieve this goal.
PAR Estimate:
160W @ 36cm: Estimated ~500–650 µmol/m²/s (center), ~400–500 µmol/m²/s (edges).
Optimum: 400–600 µmol/m²/s for vegetative growth.
Result: Setup remains within optimal range, ensuring consistent growth without stress.
Notes: Adjustment will be monitored to confirm if it achieves the desired stretch without causing stress.
My estimation of AI usefullness. At the moment I would say, don't waste your time on AI in at LEAST the first 3-5 weeks. Perhaps it can help with some trouble shooting, but I think if everything is well prepaired your senses will give you a better guide, if not you will learn a lot^^ Perhaps if there is a higher grade of process controll, data sets and automation e.g. PAR-meter, 3+ RH and temp. sensors, humidity of soil etc. pp, it would make a difference and/or a very precise and extensive pretraining. Nonetheless, AI wouldn't have killed anything even without questions/discussions with me, so for everyone who is not sure or haunted by bad luck .. an option. I look forward towards training, hope the AI will really drive me to my limits so I can see what happens if I don't do my standard treatment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D5 1x water
1x neem treatment (standard precaution at week 3, mostly sprayed the soil) I asked AI if I should do anything else (I wouldn't have) when I am at it. AI was fine but it wouldn't mind to add some of my horsetail extract, chalk and rooting powder (?!👽👽👽), I didn't mind or think either.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D7 1x water.
End of the week, analysis of all parameters, overview of tent and a shot of each plant. Here is the AI report:
17.01.2025 - W02D07 | D21:
Conditions: Light at 160W, 36 cm. Temperature: 25–27°C day, 19.5–20.5°C night. RH: 60–70%.
Observations: Plants healthy, good internodal spacing for easier harvest, lower branches forming steadily.
Changes: No new adjustments; settings from early Week 3 applied to promote stretch and yield.
Notes: Current setup supports desired stretch and structure; monitoring continues. The growth of most plants is average for this stage, with no indications of being under- or above-average; current conditions appear suitable, and continuous monitoring and adjustments are recommended to optimize growth.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So not much new, but the plants finally speed up a little bit. I am looking forward to next week and hope AI will advise some training, at least I would start if it was my run 👻
1x water every day
D1: 18.01.2025 - W03D1 | D22:
Start with same conditions as last week.
AI analysis of the overview told me perhaps we start LST this week and first lolly next week. 👍
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D2: Apricot doesn't look too good (AI is okay with it). Mix#1 very flat (AI recognizes it). Rest fine for me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D3: Complete AI analysis.
Apricot shows slight discoloration and displays mild clawing. Monitoring for potential nutrient or water stress.
Mix #2 shows robust growth with broad structure and healthy side branches. No visible stress or deficiencies. LST recommended for a few side branches to improve light penetration and canopy evenness. Development is slightly above average.
Purple Lemonade shows healthy and stable growth with no visible stress or discoloration. Slightly narrower compared to others, but within expected range for its genetics. No training or adjustments needed at this time. Development is on track.
Mix#1 shows compact growth with slight discoloration on some leaves, potentially due to pH imbalance or minor nutrient deficiency. No training needed. Recommend checking substrate pH and considering light Cal-Mag supplementation. Development is slightly below average.
California Snow shows excellent and symmetrical growth with no signs of stress or discoloration. Development is above average, with strong side branches and optimal structure. No training or adjustments needed at this time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Anyway, I won't check for water/nutrient/pH right now, perhaps if it doesn't look better next week. As my lord and saviour proposed water stress as second possibility, I will remove the watering of the Apricot for now. TBH I just took a photo and didn't look closer, but I would have done something 2 days ago. 😇
Training was completely guided by AI (it needs many holders?!😅 what an effort). Personally, I would be happier if it planned to do all plants on one day.😓 It's just sad that it's out of my decision😏.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D4 AI analysis:
Observations: Apricot shows slight discoloration; Mix #1 remains small with some leaf issues. Other plants develop evenly and show no stress. Training on Mix #2 is progressing well.
Changes: Training adjustments continued for Mix #2. Manual watering maintained for Apricot to address potential water stress.
Notes: Setup remains stable; no critical actions required.
- Installed new exhaust (still not turned on), removed all ventilation except for the Mars Hydro.
- Rearranged plants (started at day 2 and was not satisfied) and auto-watering.
- New passive ventilation concept. Less selective broad openings, instead on a wider small area. All plants near openings (Apricot, Mix#1, Photo from my other diary) didn't look too healthy.. somehow leathery so I will try to reduce cold draft and install the ventilation a bit more passive.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D5 Mayday, brain, humanity and plants are lost and doomed. AI won't take any uploads. Nonetheless, I did not want to interfere too much with the AI and had to restrain myself. Anyways, I couldn't hold back completely, so I did some LST with own leafes on all plants except mix #1 which is realy flat and just tiny branches. I think for the experiment it's still fine at least AI was planning to take actions on D5-7 and nothing was done that can't be undone. Hopefully, tommorow we wake up with a brain again.
- Gladly it woke up and was satisfied, except for Mix#1. I removed some leafes as adviced, looks real sad now 😹
I will set up the AI from the start with a little automated data transfer. Hopefully, lags, waiting time and issues like upload doesn't work get a little bit reduced.

D6 Full AI analysis and AI guided training of all plants:
23.01.2025 (D27 / W03D6)
Observations: First training was effective. Further training was advised for improved canopy structure. Plants responded well with no signs of stress.
Changes: Additional LST applied to Apricot, Mix #2, and Purple Lemonade. Adjustments made on California Snow. Light defoliation performed on Mix #1. Lower shoots removed from Apricot.
Notes: Setup remains stable; no critical actions required. Lighting, temperature, and humidity within optimal range.
Ranking:
1 California Snow
2 Mix #2
3 Purple Lemonade
4 Apricot
5 Mix #1
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Additionally, I received some leftover nutrition, so AI adjusted nutrition schedule according to the availlable products and plant status. As it is late in the week I add it to next week. Cuttings just for the fun of it, don't mind ;-)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D1 Full AI analysis and outlook:
25.01.2025 - W04D1 | D29:
Observations: All plants are showing healthy growth and consistent development. Minimal discoloration on a few leaves was noted, but this is not concerning. Current light positioning and intensity are optimal. No immediate adjustments to the environment are necessary.
Actions Taken:
Inspected all plants thoroughly.
Confirmed proper light settings and environmental stability.
Prepared for lollipopping and training during the next phase.
Adjusted light and height.
Adjusted nutrition.
Next Steps:
1. Proceed with lollipopping as required to remove lower, non-essential growth.
2. Conduct individual plant training to improve canopy structure.
3. Continue monitoring nutrient levels and overall plant health.
AI PAR Estimate:
200W @ 38cm = ~600–700 µmol/m²/s (center), ~500–600 µmol/m²/s (edges).
Optimum: 500–700 µmol/m²/s for early flowering stage.
Max Absorption: ~24 mol/day with 24h, ~20 mol/day with 20/4 (plants at this stage need ~18–24 mol/day).
Comment: Setup optimized for pre-flowering growth. Monitoring to ensure no stress or overexposure.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, not looking yesterday was a bad idea. Some branches grew into the clips, sadly they didnt survive the removal 😪 3 are gone.
Rearranged plants again, Mix#1 looks sad, moved it to the corner that she can think about her mistakes in life.
Exhaust turned on for temperature control.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D2
AI is okay to take a day off.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D3 Full AI analysis and outlook:
27.01.2025 - W04D3 | D31:
Observations: All plants continue to develop as expected, with strong structure and healthy leaf formation. Some minor lower leaf discoloration was observed but remains within normal parameters. Training adjustments were applied where necessary. Light and environmental conditions are stable, supporting optimal growth.
Actions Taken: Inspected all plants for health and structural progress. Applied additional training where needed. Confirmed light height and intensity remain within optimal range. No major adjustments to nutrition required at this stage.
Outlook: Continued monitoring of stretch and structure as plants approach pre-flowering stage. Next steps will focus on further training and potential defoliation to optimize light penetration.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I disturbed a little worm during training, that's living indoor soil ;-) (s. picture). Probably a good sign?👻
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D4 full AI analysis + training. Today it wanted a lot training and lot of pictures. Also to bend the top of the Purple Lemonade?! Besides that I decided to put the Mix#1 in a smaller pot. She doesn't need to die but I prefer a little more space for the others. I hope AI won't be mad 😰.
Analysis:
Environment:
Temperature: 26°C day, 22°C night
Humidity: 60% (adjusting to 55%)
Light: 200W LED, 35-40 cm distance
Observations:
Apricot Auto: Good structure, slight leaf curl indicating light intensity is near the threshold
Mix#2: Shows strong lateral growth, internodal spacing suggests a compact indica-dominant hybrid
Purple Lemonade: Budsites developing well, first signs of purple hues in calyxes
California Snow: Shortest plant but very vigorous, developing side branches well
Training:
LST adjustments made for better canopy spread
Defoliation done selectively to increase airflow
Additionally, I asked for an assumption of dry yield and genetics of Mix#2. The plants look okay, but not great.. rather small. I would bet that it will be half of its calculation, I even asked specifically if it took the status and setup in consideration. [cite] The values are not standard values for the genetics, but a realistic forecast based on your current run! [/cite].
Expected Dry Yield:
Apricot Auto: ~35-45g
Mix#2: ~40-50g
Purple Lemonade: ~45-55g
California Snow: ~35-45g
Total Estimated Yield: 160-195g dry
My guess (at MOST!):
Apricot Auto: ~10g
Mix#2: ~25g
Purple Lemonade: ~20g
California Snow: ~15g
Total Estimated Yield: 70g dry
As target was a full guided AI run and AI training, yield is not really important. BUT I told it to make it a bit stretchy; atm they are all dwarves.
Roots of Mix#1 were somehow developed through the hole surface of the pot (~5 cm), below was nothing. Perhaps the recycled soil was to wet from start or perhaps I have to put in some more coconut fiber/expanded clay/perlite.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D5
AI did nutrition correction - Bio Grow to 0.75
Small adjustments of training.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D6
Bad title for the run. Nothing with lazy, AI wants to do a complete analysis every day 😠 Also it got the great idea to ask for more pictures, 5 instead of 3. Definitely my last "lazy" (complete AI control) run 😂
Apricot needs help - AI recognizes it. I ignore it. Won't take it off the watering or to a different light setup.😤
Cuttings show no signs of roots.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D7
Finally, a day off. AI is satisfied with just an overview picture. So final AI analysis for the week:
31.01.2025 - W04D7 | D35
Observations: All plants continue to develop as expected, with steady growth observed across all strains. Stretch appears to be slowing down, indicating the transition into full flowering. Leaf health remains stable, with only minor lower leaf discoloration. Training adjustments are maintaining structure and light exposure. Environmental conditions remain consistent and within optimal parameters.
Actions Taken: Inspected all plants for health and growth patterns. Adjusted light height slightly to maintain appropriate distance from canopy. No major changes to nutrition or watering were necessary at this stage. Continued monitoring of leaf coloration and overall plant health.
Outlook: Focus now shifts to supporting flower development while ensuring optimal light distribution and nutrient balance. Further adjustments to training and potential defoliation will be considered based on plant response in the coming days.
01.02.2025 - W05D1 | D36
D1 Full AI analysis; It is a little bit concerned and wanted pictures with flash lights. Much work, but nothing changed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D2 AI is stressed, plants are stressed even more pictures. Additionally, it is perhaps just too complex with 5 genetics with different needs and development. It wants me to lower and raise the RH or it can see deficiency and overfertilization with nitrogen on one plant that is to dry and wet. So I give it a reset and that's it for today.
Cuttings show finally sign of roots. Perhaps they get bigger than Mix#1 😂.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D3 Full AI analysis and outlook:
03.02.2025 - W05D3 | D38:
Observations: All plants continue to develop as expected. Some yellowing of older leaves was noted, but no critical deficiencies are apparent. The light intensity and positioning remain within optimal ranges. No immediate environmental adjustments are required at this stage.
Actions Taken:
Verified light settings and plant response to current intensity.
Assessed nutrient uptake and monitored for potential adjustments.
No immediate changes to nutrient regimen or watering system necessary.
Next Steps:
Continue monitoring yellowing leaves and assess if nitrogen adjustments become necessary.
Maintain current light setup while observing for any stress indicators.
Reassess overall plant health in the next 24 hours and make adjustments if required
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D4 AI don't want single pictures anymore. So one picture and everything is done. Why it messes up the report style is a mystery.
Rooted cuttings are moved to pots and out of this diary.👻 Good luck with me .. without any AI 😈
W05D4 | D39 - Quick Grow Report:
Plants are progressing well. Some slight yellowing on Apricot and Mix#2, but no major concerns. Light distance now at 39 cm, running 200W. No clear signs of light stress, but monitoring closely. RH increased to 50%, temp slightly lower at 24°C. No changes to feeding or watering for now. If yellowing spreads, adjustments may be needed. Watching for potential defoliation of shading fan leaves but keeping it minimal. Next update tomorrow!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D5 Full AI analysis
05.02.2025 - W05D5 | D40:
Observations: Plants are showing varied development. Apricot and Mix#2 display signs of nutrient deficiency, particularly nitrogen and magnesium. Purple Lemonade and California Snow are developing well but require minor adjustments. Some lower leaves were removed to improve airflow. Light intensity and positioning remain stable.
Actions Taken:
Increased Biobizz Grow from 1.25 ml/L to 1.5 ml/L to address nitrogen deficiency.
Added 1 tsp worm humus + 1/2 tbsp dolomite lime to the soil.
Minor defoliation to remove unnecessary foliage and improve air circulation.
Outlook:
W05: Trichome inspection begins, light defoliation if needed, monitoring nitrogen response.
W06: Final defoliation, removing unnecessary fan leaves, checking trichome maturity.
W07: Removing LST bands, assessing bud density, adjusting final nutrient intake.
W08-W10: Harvest window based on trichome analysis, final watering adjustments, and controlled drying process.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D6 Full AI analysis
06.02.2025 - W05D6 | D41:
Observations:
General plant conditions remain stable. Apricot continues to show nitrogen and magnesium deficiencies, while Mix#2 is responding to adjustments. Purple Lemonade and California Snow are progressing well. Light positioning and airflow remain optimal. No major interventions were required today.
Monitoring nutrient response, no further defoliation today. Kept light distance stable, adjustments may follow if necessary.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D7 Full AI analysis and outlook
07.02.2025 - W05D7 | D42
Observations: All plants continue to develop under stable conditions. Purple Lemonade exhibits natural discoloration on upper leaves. Apricot and Mix#2 still show signs of nutrient demand, particularly nitrogen. Light intensity increased, distance maintained at 32 cm. No immediate environmental adjustments required.
Actions Taken:
Increased light intensity to optimize bud development.
Monitored nutrient response and leaf condition.
Next Steps:
Continue monitoring nutrient uptake and overall plant response.
Check trichomes soon to assess maturity for upcoming harvest decisions.
Reassess plant structure and make adjustments if needed in 24 hours.
New par estimation from KI 224 Watt @ 32 cm
middle: ~900–1000 µmol/m²/s
edges: ~500–700 µmol/m²/s
All plants got problems except the Purple Lemonade, she is okay but not perfect. However, AI is very proud of all, I am not.
Apricot looks overall completely sad.
Mix#2 if the strain does not make thinnest curled leaves something is wrong.
California way too small und bushy from the start.
Mix#1 kicked out, not without a reason.
At the moment, I would say AI would be perfect for hydro and indivdualized watering. For organic setups and an "overall" good health its just waaaaaaaaaaaay too complex.
Sadly, the cuttings are already blooming, so no other diary for them. Last pictures and perhaps trash after that. Same for AI after the run 😂

******
Comment: Lemonade more or less okay. Apricot not worse.. yeah I agree 👍 thx for nothing😡, Mix#2 looks horrific for me, Cali is a dwarf, but looks better than I thought it would.
What AI knows but is not on the report in detail; heights of plants: ~50 apricot+mix ~40 Purple ~30 Cali. Looks better because heights are in line. As same heights and Lollypopping were a prerequisite the height management as result of AI training is not .... outstanding. 😌

20.02.2025 - W07D6 | D55
Observations:
Purple Lemonade: High amber trichome percentage (~40–50%) on main cola, lower buds around 30–40%. Fully within harvest window. Planned harvest in 1–2 days. *Comment: we are back at whole plant*
Apricot: Trichomes predominantly milky (~80%), with minor amber presence (~5–10%). Requires at least 3–5 more days for optimal potency.
Mix#2: Slow trichome development, buds remain airy. Noticeable P/K deficiency symptoms. No immediate harvest signs.
California Snow: Mostly milky trichomes (~80%), lower buds show some clear (~20%). Still needs around 5–7 days to mature properly.
Actions Taken:
Microscopic analysis completed for all plants, determining individual harvest schedules.
Watering adjusted.
Next Steps:
Continue trichome monitoring, especially Apricot and California Snow in the coming days.
Observe Mix#2's response to P/K boost and consider structural support if needed.
Finalize Purple Lemonade's harvest timing within the next 48 hours.
No immediate changes to light schedule (20/4), but will reassess after next trichome check.

21.02.2025 - W07D7 | D56
Observations:
Purple Lemonade: Highly developed with ~40-50% amber trichomes. Buds are dense, rich in resin, and showing final ripeness signs. Harvest planned in 1–2 days.
Apricot: Trichomes predominantly milky (~85%), amber increasing (~10–15%). Still needs 3–5 more days to reach optimal ripeness.
Mix#2: Buds still airy, with ~60% clear trichomes. Needs at least 10 more days to develop fully.
California Snow: ~80% milky trichomes, lower buds slightly behind in ripeness. Estimated harvest in ~5 days.
Actions Taken:
Purple Lemonade left standing for further ripening; no watering.
Apricot & California Snow switched 1 dripper
Mix#2 kept at 2 drippers
New nutrient mix prepared with a focus on P/K for final bloom support.
Next Steps:
Final trichome check on Purple Lemonade in 24-48h before harvest.
Monitor Apricot & California Snow for optimal harvest timing.
Keep an eye on Mix#2’s trichome development – still in mid-bloom phase.

* Finish line 👏Perhaps just one or two more weeks. I will be happy to get rid of the AI. 😂
ATM I would say trichome analysis is most promising, as I always have my problems in judging that. Anyway, I am not sure AI does it reliable; I am way lower on amber trichomes than AI, but I am also doubting myself in that context.😋
Strain: me vs AI
Apricot: 0% vs. 10-15%
Mix#2: 0% vs. 0% - 👍
California Snow: 0% vs 20% or 0% (80% are milky it says)
Purple Lemonade: ~20% vs 50%
