Today October 25th is the First day of Week 6 In Flower. Received the Refractometer and got right to pressing. First I tried a mortar and pestle to extract the sap -- this worked ok but took a lot of time and force. Then I tried 2 spoons held together and squeezed with vice grips (didn't work for me). 2 Pieces of MDF board squeezed together with vice grips didn't work either. I guess I'm not strong enough. Tried a blender, a hand blender...neither of these worked! Then the vice, it was faster and took less force to extract the sap. Works great! Took leaves from top to bottom of each individual plant. (16 plants) Rolled a few leaves up, put in a numbered piece of parchment and pressed.....voila...sap😃 Refractometer was already calibrated and ready to go. Placed sap on meter, held up to light and there it is! My first BRIX reading😮 using $28 Refractometer. Going to change base nutrients to a "hard water" formula. So impressed with Harley Smith that I've ordered some NPK RAW products. Like the idea of micro dosing. I sent Harley an email and he replied the same day! Not a canned response either. So cool. Thanks Harley! AND he took a look at GrowDiaries and this grow✊😃 What a kind gentleman. 😇 Hope I didn't go overboard but I watered again today with amino acids and cal mend to try to fix this Calcium def. Will Brix leaves tomorrow and see if this makes a difference. The brix line yesterday was very clear and very easy to read indicating a calcium def. Maybe locked out from too much phosphorous or hard water? Watered Oct 29 & 30 Temp 20 PH 6.4 EC 1.9 Runoff EC 1.9 to 2.3 after at least 2-3 Gallons of water put thru each pot. Some pots Runoff were way off the charts😵EC 3.6! . Put water thru until EC hit 2.3 on 2 pots others were EC 1.9 to 2.1. Put 56 Gallons or 220L thru plants over a 2 day period until I reached a better EC.

📅 D71 - 24/10 📜 New res, maybe the last one before the flush. I keep the EC on 1,4 and pH on 5,8 ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D72 - 25/10 📜 As pH is falling and EC raises, I added 1 L. of fresh RO water. Now EC is about 1,6 and pH of 5,9. Also, I start to make some pictures of trichomes that for now is blank and milky. I think Lucy needs a couple or three other weeks. ✍️ 1,6 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D73 - 26/10 📜 I made a nice video, take a look please :). Added 2 L of water EC = 0,8 and pH = 6,1. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D74 - 27/10 📜 Added 1 L of pure RO water ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D75 - 28/10 📜 I'm unsure what I should do among these options: make a water cleanup with florakleen then new res with ripen until the end and a new flush or wait until the end and nmake a flush in the lst two days. Any suggestion will be welcome. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D76 - 29/10 📜 I decided to make a clean with Flash Kleen this week and then Ripen for about another week until the final flush. I hope this is the right decision. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D77 - 30/10 📜 Changed the res with 10 liters of water withj only ripen. Last week, I will harvest at the end of next week ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm

Last couple of days... No watering from today, (Day 129) and the light will be switched off as well from tomorrow (Day 130) so I will harvest them approx on Day 132 or 133 on the 18th week :)

Now for Wk8, even after all that DEFOLIATION and LST on Wk7 it don't look like it all. It took me 3 hours, to do all that work. I wanted to wait at least 2 weeks before another around of defoliation and lst but now it's every week 😪. Do I DARE say the other 2 plants are catching up to Garganchula? I will say I had 1 big 1 medium and 1 small. Now I got 1 large and 2 medium plants. I want 1 more month of VEG, to allow the other 2 plants to catch up but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to slow down Garganchula (big plant name). Let's see if WK9 Garganchula play nice and grow SLOWLY and allow her other siblings (didn't name them yet) to catch up. Garganchula 1300ppms 2 other plants 1700ppms each

Been an awesome week!😎 Lots of things going on last week.. We started LST, made a few LST adjustments, gave the ladies a haircut, and further refined the nutes👍 Looking forward to seeing some signs of flowering this week. 🙏 I used to believe I was a man of patience 😅 Stay tuned for pics and videos throughout the week.🙌 Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

Linda menina, estou ansioso

So I’ve got a fungus gnats problem. Humidity is under control finally. One of the girls is being flushed currently I ran 15g through her 5g pot . Two other girls are close to where I want them to before I flush I’m waiting for the buds to become dense still. 3 of the girls are finally fattening up the additional liquid amendments I’ve started feeding have certainly helped . I’m still racing against time in one way or the other but I have gained a wealth of experience & have formulated new methods to try in order to get the best results from my style of growing . The liquid amendments I’m feeding are indeed organic still so no worries 😉 there . I’m waiting for my yellow sticky traps & rounding out this grow in these next few weeks . Depending on how long this first girl takes to flush I’ll begin by harvesting 2 plant in a week or 2. I’m kind of tapped out on this whole posting thing I really was tempted to wait until harvest to do an update . But this is a good journal for me just the same as it is for anywho who stops by so for that reason I’m going to try to stay with it until the end . Another week on the GreeneScene in the books 📚 rounded out .

Flush week.

My green tea plant is growing extremely well as of right now. Transplanted her into a 3 gallon fabric pot and topped her this week. She has also grown to 10 inches. I'm waiting to see how much more and how fast she grows before I decide whether or not I'm going to transplant her one more time into a 5 gallon fabric pot.

Start 3 weeks.21 days

Muy buenas familia aquí estamos otra semana más esta ves con el cambio ya a floración ya tienen 3 días con 12/12 de luz ahora mismo tienen 34 cm de alto el foco lo tengo a 75% y a unos 30cm de alto de momento seguiré con el riego de crecimiento por sierto la rama que rompi se pudo recuperar 🤞🤞😁😁bueno familia en una semana estoy mostrando como van mis niñas 😁😁que tengan una buena semana familia paz

Tuve problemas de raíz al tener poco drenaje con las botellas y tube que trasplantar antes de tiempo, de los errores se aprende.

Se germina directo en el sustrato, previamente se sumergieron en una solución de un 1Lt con 7 gotas del producto de plagron { Seed booster} . Saludos y éxitos en sus cultivos🚀✨ Fecha de siembra 17/01 🧑🏻‍🌾 Fecha de Plantón 21/01🌱

For everyone who like a exotic nice taste and good feeling excellent work from @bar

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. 1/8/26 10:41AM 🚨🚨😂You’re describing a classic self-hack for getting through the fog: **loading up on caffeine + energy powder** until you hit that wired, almost-agitated state where the mental barriers drop, the house gets cleaned, work flows, and you crush tasks. Then you dial back the lights to avoid overload. It’s exhausting just to read, but yeah, it’s kinda hilarious in a dark comedy way—like your brain needs to be revved into overdrive to even idle properly. 💪🤪 What you’re doing is essentially **self-medicating with stimulants** to overcome **executive dysfunction** layered on top of chronic fatigue, pain, and whatever else is dragging you down (gum issues, bleeds—sounds rough). The high caffeine dose pushes dopamine and norepinephrine levels up enough to kickstart motivation, focus, and task initiation that your baseline state won’t allow. It’s like jump-starting a car battery that’s perpetually low. In people with ADHD (or ADHD-like symptoms from chronic illness), stimulants can paradoxically “calm” the chaos and enable productivity instead of just making you jittery. Energy powders amp that further with extras like taurine or B-vitamins. This pattern shows up a lot in: - **ADHD** — where baseline dopamine is low, so you need a big push to get executive functions (planning, starting, sustaining effort) online. Caffeine often helps short-term but crashes hard later. - **Chronic fatigue** (ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, etc.) — where profound exhaustion + brain fog mimics executive dysfunction. Some folks use stimulants (prescribed or DIY) to cut through it, though it risks crashes, worse sleep, or agitation. - **Chronic pain overlap** — pain drains energy and focus; caffeine can blunt perception temporarily while boosting alertness. The “Three Stooges syndrome” reference (from The Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns has so many conflicting diseases they cancel out) fits your vibe perfectly—your body’s throwing a comedy of errors at you, but you’re MacGyvering a workaround to keep functioning. It’s not sustainable long-term (risks adrenal fatigue, tolerance buildup, sleep disruption, heart strain, or worsening pain cycles), but in the moment, it’s effective self-management. If this is working decently without major downsides, props—it’s resourceful. But if the crashes are brutal, agitation turns into anxiety, or you’re chasing higher doses, it might be worth chatting with a doc about: - Checking for underlying ADHD (common in chronic illness crowds) or similar neuro stuff. - Safer stimulant options (like low-dose prescribed ones) if appropriate. - Non-caffeine tweaks: timed light exposure, short movement breaks, or even micro-dosing tasks to build momentum without the chemical sledgehammer. You’re not broken; you’re adapting creatively in a tough setup. Keep owning it, but listen to your body when it says “enough with the Stooges already.” What’s one small non-caffeine trick that’s helped on off days? 😊. 🚨🚨😂

2 weeks more to change cycle. Lower canopies should grow more in those weeks. Thats why i am doing lst 23.09.2022 gave them only water with 6,3 PH. and had %10 runoff from each other. 23.09.2022 I added an other 100w samsung lm281b+ quantum board with 660nm red. Will add 240w quantum board after flowering time. 23.09.2022 Had a very light defolation. Took 2 leaves from top which shade buds. She seem happy. 24.09.2022 she seem okay, growing. 25.09.2022 transplanted her into final pot 25lt. 40% soil 40% coco %20 perlite. Watered her with half those 1.5lt/5ml grow A-B. Her leaves looking down. Think it happened cuz of transplanting and stressted a bit. Also took 6 M-L size leaves which making shade on buds. 26.09.2022 She is out of transplant stress and seem fine! I think she will be in bloom in 10 days..
