Hi all! Back at it!! Nice to see ya again! This time I changed a few things in the box. I'll be running one plants of two different strains instead of three plant of the same, so I raised the pot size to 15 liters / 4 gal airpots. And I'll give a try to a new nutrient solution! I'l be running the Bio Tabs line that I won a few month ago in the diary of the month contest (Thanks GD and Bio Tabs ;-) ). I have very high expectations so let's hope everything goes fine! I prepared the soil according to the Bio Tabs instructions. The rest is identical and I'll list the hardware here under. Also I'll try to be more regular and to update my diaries more often. My last indoor diaries were missing some weeks and some quality pics too to be honest. So see you soon and thanks for watching! Ho and as usual fel free to ask anything! Hardware: 60x120 (2x4) blackbox PrimaKlima 220/360 m3/h extractor (always on switch 1) pushes air in Green filter CH10 (entrance, passive exit) So yes I filter air coming in but not going out. I don't have any need for odor control :-D 1 secret jardin 20w fan 2x 180W COB led lights 2x 15L airpots Winflex temp and humidity tester And the top of soil, Bio Canna Bio Terra Plus

Wondering how much longer PK1 has before harvest. 80% of her pistils have turned amber. Exploring mid week shows me I have at least another week...maybe 2

Week 9 – Banana Purple Punch by FastBuds 🌿 This girl looks absolutely amazing right now! The colors and overall bud structure are really impressive – super compact and dense. She’s putting out tons of terpenes already; the smell is strong, sweet, and fruity with that nice banana touch coming through. She’s almost there — I’d say about one more week until harvest. Trichomes are cloudy and she’s fattening up nicely. Really happy with how this strain is turning out so **Lemon Cherry Cookies Update 🍋🍒** The Lemon Cherry Cookies has just been harvested! Sadly, we forgot to take some final shots before the chop, but the plant turned out absolutely insane — beautiful buds and crazy terpene production. It’s now hanging to dry, and I’ll post some harvest pictures once it’s ready. Can’t wait to see how she cures up! 💨

Lovely strain, likes food and consistent environments. Hard dense nugs, very potent sativa effect, smells like raw mango. Will take it a week longer next time.

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!!!! 1/7/26 6:10AM...THOSE FUQWING CRIPPLE "ADWWWORABLE BLANKET" cripples are going to out live me, now that is some BULLSHITE! IM ALSO HAVEING ISSUES WITH A LARGE GROUP OF CERTAIN KIND OF PERSONSS...SO I HAD AN IDEA...BUT.....IT TURNS OUT THE GERMANS HAD THE SAME IDEA 80 YEARS AGO...AND I JUST DONT WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A COPY CAT. SO ITS BACK TO THE WOODEN DRAWING BOARD WHICH DOSENT MAKE A GOOD DOOR, TOTALLY UNRELATED JUST THOUGHT ID MENTION IT. 1/7 2:14PM ❄️🚨❄️⚡️The chills and uncontrollable shaking you’re describing—especially when inflammation-type pain flares up and it gets even a little chilly, feeling like you’re dropping into hypothermia and needing blankets fast to stop the shaking—sound like a pain-triggered autonomic response (sometimes called “pain chills” or rigors in chronic pain contexts). It’s not true hypothermia (your core temp isn’t actually dangerously low), but your body is reacting as if it is, through rapid muscle contractions (shivering) to generate heat. Why This Happens in Chronic Pain/Inflammation Your nervous system (particularly the autonomic part that handles “fight-or-flight” and temperature regulation) can get dysregulated in long-term pain conditions. Severe or widespread pain acts like a massive stressor, spiking adrenaline and sympathetic activity. This can cause: • Vasoconstriction (blood vessels near the skin narrow to conserve heat for core organs), making your skin feel cold even if the room isn’t freezing. • Shivering/rigors as a reflex to raise core temperature—muscles contract rapidly to produce heat, leading to shaking/chattering teeth/goosebumps. • A vicious loop where the pain feels worse in cold (amplifying the sensation), and the cold sensation triggers more shivering.

04/09/24. Time to start week 7. Not much to say other than about the girls themselves. I haven’t changed anything other than I think I’ve given them the last feed yesterday. I’m thinking they’ll be done within 2 weeks and I’ve read that it’s best to give water the last 2 weeks. Hope this is the right thing to do. The buds are thickening up and the pistols are getting pretty dark and starting to recede.. well.. on two of the girls that seem the most similar to each other. The middle plants much frostier, smellier, and skinnier buds- with lighter pistols. All are becoming colorful. It’s smelling very spicy with like rotting fruit or something currently. The smells very strong through the house. I don’t think these will be the biggest buds, but they are definitely dense af and lovely and smelly.. oh and sooo sticky wew Guess that’s it until the start of week 8 flower. We’re gettin close! My video for the week won’t load up for some reason. Idk what the problem is. Update: don’t be an idiot and run out of space on your phone. I made space and it uploaded LOL. Derrrrrrr

Fed and defoliated to start week 7. The plant looks good for being in a small pot, the buds are on point and look as expected at this stage.

Gained some height since last week, bud sites everywhere. Defoliatated a few leaves to allow light in as its really bushy. Upped the nutrients and shes drinking alot more now. Hopefully see some trichromes popping up soon and they fatten up

Tops galore. Again not stretched as much as I had hoped but putting that down to the amount of training she has had. She has a lovely even canopy and I'm looking forward to lots of dense nugs! Looking forward to seeing this girl develop. I've never smoked this before but i have had the chance to smell a fellow growers plants that are currently in late flower and it smells unreal!

This week brought excellent weather with temperatures reaching 33°C (91°F) and plenty of sunshine. I've observed nearly 10 cm (4 inches) of vertical growth, with the plant expanding both upwards and outwards. The buds are visibly thickening, and trichome production has become quite evident, creating a beautiful layer of frosty, resinous sugar leaves. The aroma is now more pronounced, although not yet overwhelmingly strong. Overall, the plant appears robust with a sturdy stem measuring slightly over 3 cm (1.2 inches) in diameter. The foliage is a deep, vibrant green, indicating good health. The lateral branches are now also producing buds. I have reduced the fertilization to the standard 5 ml per liter (0.17 fl oz/gal), now exclusively using Terra Bloom. The plants have become noticeably thirstier. Today, they were exposed to rain and absorbed over 0.5 liters (0.13 gallons) of rainwater, with a pH value of 7.46. Low-Stress Training (LST) is no longer being actively applied, it is only being adjusted as needed

** A tip if you like trichomes have the patience to scroll down to the micro photos, they are scary. Black Runtz is a crazy beauty, a black isolate phenotype of the very famous Zamnesia Runtz. In the last week before this one you will find the white phenotype with a green apple flavor, but here is the spectacle of nature that manifests itself in the form of a stunning red/purple plant with spectacular trichomes and buds. **Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. This is the plant left to grow straight. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow up to the 6th internode then we did the FIMMING or FIM (Fuck the Missed) - This technique by cutting about 70% of the brunch and the leaves growing in the center is going to give the plant the indication to slow down the growth upwards and distribute the power on the lateral branches that with a bit of LST in fact gave some wonderful secondary flowers. No popcorn thanks to Pruning of the things at the bottom, guys leave only everything that sees the light well in flower. Better with the techniques or the normal ones? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance. I prefer the plant to grow straight, but I know that it can be obtained very well with a main lining or repeated topping. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 15. The plant has resined very well on all sides, the resin is really abundant and above average. The color of the trichomes is something exceptional really we have dark purple heads, light purple, lilac, really a racobalen of shades of red / purple. The buds were washed as recommended by Zamnesia. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to dispose of the plant that at a certain point, before going to the wash, was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to the wash and we are very very well discolored. I predict a very tasty flower, grown organically and washed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All the Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose the soil according to your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother, if you are stubborn use additives, listen every now and then... and then come and tell me about it. Fertilizers are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is already a legend in the normal version, imagine in the Black version... try it! --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz comes from a truly legendary genetic heritage. Our breeders used three modern classics from the United States to create this strain: Zkittlez, Gelato and Runtz. With 20% THC and aromas of grapes and berries, Zkittlez has passed on its delicious flavors and relaxing effects. The ice cream contributed to Black Runtz’s immense flavor profile, giving it high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this three-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts a fast flowering time, very high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that enhance its delicious flavor profile. Music and Frequencies // For about 4-6 hours a day, my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies specially designed for their well-being, and sometimes a little black music to give them those vibes that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is available at ---- www.zamnesia.com

The Black Devil's OG is trucking along without issue, while the Northern light is a tad on the droopy side at night and is likely expecting earlier night hours. I will likely adjust my light schedule to reduce the stress. The videos posted came out pretty well, considering they came out of a cell phone camera. 400x ends up being really blurry as the phone can't focus properly to compensate, but you can still see all the bacteria dancing around. Some nematodes and ciliates there too.
