Fed both on Day 46. The Caramel cream likes to EAT! R/O is high again. I’ll monitor again during the week to see if this is an issue. Day 50: ph water feed w/ calimagic. Moved into larger tent to prepare for flowering soon. Added additional lighting as well flowering. Grow on.

Da die Orange Bud an zwei stellen angefangen hat hab ich beschlossen sie etwas früher zu ernten. Hätte bestimmt noch eine Woche stehen können aber von den Trichomen fand ich es schon in Ordnung.

It has been a good week. The NTs are fattening and getting covered in ice! They are also loosing most of the lower leaves, I'm a bit afraid that they lose too many, I hope not! Now after two weeks of stretch it seems like they stopped ascending. I can't wait to see how this coming week will go!

03-11-2023 Day 54 Not much to report at the moment . Waiting for the Trichomes to do their thing and start turning. I have around 10 days left on grow. 03-16-2023 Day 59 most of the trichomes are milky however I did not see a single amber one yet. The plants are looking phenomenal , they seem to be putting the last weight on. I will put the girls under 48h of Darkness to finish them off . At the first signs of Amber trichomes I will stop watering.

1/5/202 6:12 AM Monday they all look so good. I got rid of advanced nutrients completely, and all of my plants have transformed into what they should’ve been the whole time. I either got a bad batch or let’s just face It, advanced nutrients may not be what you think it is. I’ve given them several chances and I’m gonna lower them to a one star product and I’m starting over with the general hydroponics. I’ll never look back. 1/5/26 6:32 AM. I learned this from the Three Stooges this morning. I believe I have Three Stooges syndrome, but that’s not important right now the words of Curly are important🚨🚨🚨🚨 If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!!!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 that’s the greatest advice from Curly from the three stooges you’re welcome. 1/7/26 12:47AM my I am failing. If I dont bounce back all the plants are going to go with me. rest a few hours, get the blood off my neck nd back. Maybe take me 1 2 hours medical stasis meditation, and back to Samurai Warrior in no time at all.... 💪💪💪💪💪 1/7/26 1:13AM 🚨 I had an idea!!!!!!!! from Grok:🚨🚨 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. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/7 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.

This week everything remains stable with no significant changes. The plant continues developing well, so I’m just maintaining the current conditions and letting her do her thing 🌸💪

March 3rd, 2019. The plants are 28 days old today. Growing well. They are well in early flower now. Began LST and did just a small amount of defoliating. They had Azos mixed with Mykos on day 26, will probably feed tomorrow depending on moisture, if not the next day for sure. They just look great. March 8th, 2019 - 33 days old. Was a big grow week. Both plants doing great. They had a full feeding Tuesday and today they got a good solid flushing. They are starting to smell pretty good. If you look closely at the cola shot, you can just see Trichomes starting to form. Lord knows what they will look like in 4 weeks. About 16 to 17 inches tall, really heavy branches, leaves look great, nice beautiful green.

Inicio de la sexta semana y así sigue el avance de la floración. Ésta plata ha crecido a un ritmo impresionante y apesar de ser más pequeña en un inicio que su compañera de tienda, ha superado su tamaño notoriamente. Todo sigue bien y sano como se esperaba. Buenos humos! 👽

EXPERIMENT: Still waiting on the teapot to boil the water properly, but the photos and video of the "still" attached to this diary shows proof of concept. The sludge coming out is from the copper tubing manufacturing process, it'll eventually stop. I need to get the real setup built and run a couple gallons through the tube. Plant B is coming along nicely! I have a feeling it's going to finish around week 6 rather than the full 8 week period advertised. So I've started the flushing process. I can always add nutrients if necessary. Flushed twice this week with 2.5 gal of pH-adjusted distilled water. Plant A doesn't seem to like the bud blaster. I think it'll finish around the 8 weeks advertised. I flushed all week same as plant B, though I will probably add more nutrients to A next week. It just seemed to be getting some nutrient burn so I wanted to back off.

11.08.2024 officially D132 from seed. this girls has became a realy fat lady she take 25% of the 5x5 tent. she is bushy like hell even if i have removed all fan leave. Need to do some root prunning as the air stone is completly embed in the root ball, witch is really most darker that it should be, my nuts solution lightly die the roots but not this far. In the process i realized that the air stone was completly cloged, probably what cause the leave burn ,so switch it and add a second one for safety. the remaining root have been wash and get soak in 1% H2O2 solution for few hours. really worried about bud roted, i decide to go for a 2 or maybe 3 shot harvest as lower and inner cola arent definitively ready and can still build up. and some of tops cola show mostly milky trichrome and few amber one. so 1st harvested from big top cola and some smaller side one for a total weight of 733.5g of wet sticky bud. looking for around 5oz of dry bud, so expecting easily 3/4pond from this mama😜

I fiori diventano sempre più compatti e incominciano a sentirsi sempre di più i profumi delle cime Sono riuscito a stabilizzare la temperatura a 24.5 gradi con la lampada al 100% di intensità luminosa a 45cm dalle cime Questa settimana per pulire un po’ il substrato ho dato 2 irrigate a ph 6.4 e circa 100ppm

28.11 Snaping big branches i try to snap bads also for be sure if its realy dryed... after puting in yars humidity says 48-55 % befor puting two way control bag (58%) so i think its a good call, its time to cure and wait for smell unlock, open 1-2-3 times a day Still got work to do, 1 was left becuse lack of time, i was slow triming and buds on last one was bit thicker, still not snaping like i saw on this two,got still little more time to be ready 29.11 Work was done, haaappy with resault of the laat one.. its not to dry, could be smoked alone, burning nice..so not too much, didnt have time to leav it without two way bags but they will do ther job till morning with stabilazing it on 58%, they need dark but need to check par times a and open them🙏👏💆‍♂️🍀🥦💚 25.12 After almost a mounth situation is very nice for my eyes to see magic happening, still got time to proces more, in last mounth, first two week i was opening twice a day, for a few minutes to exchange with fresh air, they are jared in dark, always 53-60% humidity and 17-19° Celsius.. work is solid, taste neutral, bit of bitter, its need to proces some time to become smoother mass to smoke, for now i am happy how its look, needs to gtet some smell and aroma from proces of curing, sooo..more waiting, now its not so big problem. And for you guys, wish you all good for Holidays that just started today Merry Christmas🥦🍀🎄 02.01.25! New year is here so after 33-35 days of curing its geting better and now is that point that you could smoke it but you are not 100% happy with resault of doing that only mounth and something, think that with time would be much better, like after 60days. I did some mistake in start of curing proces..why, becuse after i put them in jars and after 1-2 hours they show on meter 46-49% humidity and i react at first and right away put that 2way humidity bags, i think i should rather relase some time say or two to see will humidity rise up like it should, and this bags was strong for how much i had in jar with bag, so basicly i didnt let moist from inside turn up to outside of bud, and thats why i had till 20-x day problems with still feeling moist and harshnes in smell and taste.(while testing to see every few days how its going to understanding better of point curing) So i put away 2way bags, give them few times fresh air, trying to recreate begging of proces and remove with fresh air that shild that bud become from bag thats stops moist getting out of bud from inside, and i think that i did good job in that save and time will and must show more from this strain! So i fixed that and now going in ups side direction! And when am i by that word strain, need to say that northen light showed well for first grow,she could take some damage and good recover, easy and as you see in grow i didnt do lst or toping, i try bit of lst but i have holes on pots so i lost that option in my head from begginig, i am glad that i leave them alone and let them be them, to see how will they show up, at the end they did. Its hit nice and fluffy (not high thc %) (thats the maybe best part of text in whole proces from first day till now)(zaza is working nice and i got become more fulently writer)(maybe iam tripping 😁🍀🥦) Wish you guys all best in new year, enjoy more and lot of health 🎆🥂
