Hello All, So the end of week 5 has arrived and the ladies are flourishing. The 1 Gorilla Glue which was late to show signs of flower finally did so on day 33🎉. I gave them all a banana FFJ and humid acid tea on day 32 which they seemed to have responded very well to. I have been slightly defoliating 2 or 3 leaves per plant over the last week inoder to allow more light penetration and hopefully more bud sites will appear. I hope you enjoy the progress and happy growing to you all.

So this or these ladies are performing splendid..I like the fact that each plant has its own personality..One is nice and tall, the other short and stocky ...I mean it's a joy watching each of them move through a different stage but collectively...it's insane... But thanks for visiting...stay tuned for more weekly updates on this ladies...

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.đŸ˜‚đŸ‘đŸ‘đŸ‘âšĄïžâšĄïžđŸ˜‚ 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-THCâšĄïž 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 ”mol/mÂČ/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 ”mol/mÂČ/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. đŸ„ŠđŸŒđŸ‘šâ€đŸ”ŹđŸššđŸŒž 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 â„ïžđŸššâ„ïžâšĄïž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.

The pics and videos are from day 37 of flower. All 3 of these are starting to beef up a little bit, they have perfect bud structures. I'm picking up a creamy kinda vanilla smell on them each having slight variations but what do I know? I really want to grow all 3 phenos again sincenmy clone runs always seem to be just a little bit better. I said this on my last post but for anyone droppin questions in my DMs just comment on a journal I dont go thru the dms its alot of the same questions over and over. That way anyone can see the questions and responses and I'll try to do a better job at responding to comments as well. I always have so many diaries going at once I rarely stop and read them all until the very end when things slow down. Hope everyone had a happy halloween3👊

Boom! The stardawgs absolutely exploded in the room. I was bending branches and exposing the preflower sites which are now straight into flower trying to give them some space. I’ve never experienced anything like this. The plants gained a foot in width all the way around and at least 6” in height in 7 days. I did the same to the very Indica blackberry after I took the photos and video as she was just a locked down little bush and hopefully there is some sort of stretch. Between the 6 in this room they are consuming 3-4 gallons of water per day. The other stardawg is one week behind everyone else because the other blackberry didn’t germinate.

Very well, my friends! We are ready to try the Technique Scrog in the Peaky Gardens for the first time. Although we practice manual irrigation, we will point to direct the airpot vessels to collect the water in inside after having it leaked into the boast! Hard stems like tree trunks Stay up to date

All going well here with these ladies 😎🌿 the buds have been swelling up day by day hour by hour and they are very stinky with tons of crystals and trichromes covered from head to toe. The Colorado Cookies are by far some of the gassiest flower I've grown by far. Their bud structure is very fat and dense also quite big too while the buds on the Banana blaze has tons of hairs which are starting to turn orange with a hint of banana and citrus by scratching the stalks to smell the terpenes.

Everything seems to be going great! She's developing very fast and looks very good,no problems at the moment,let's see how big she gets before flowering starts we're not very far away from that,I'm enjoying a lot growing her,she's an excellent genetic she's being fed just like every single plant that I grow full organically with mycorrizae by florians living organics bat guano by guanokalong,seaweed powder,lactobacillus microorganisms and love,peace guys â€ïžđŸ’›đŸ’šđŸŒ±

****She's now Eleven weeks old, I water her 5L a day with with 5ml/L Terra Bloom . The co2 will stay 1600 ppm .Week 12 starts (2/02/2025) tomorrow .Im still aint using a heater on my attic so Im now using less electricity then my growths. She growth again approx 4cm in bud height in one week so im happy .Wish you all a nice Sunday and hope that you will have a nice week a front of you ! đŸ™đŸ˜˜â™„ïžđŸ’šâ™„ïžđŸ’šâ™„ïž ** Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that I have been asked to grow a seed of choice from Zamnesia. My choice fell on the Tropicana Cookies Autoflower (Zamnesia Seeds) feminized strain. Strain info https://www.zamnesia.com/10922-zamnesia-seeds-tropicana-cookies-automatic.html I hope you will enjoy this new grow just like I will do. Let's set another record for this strain, just like with the previous strain.👌 ENVIROMENT: **It took her seven days to poke her head above the ground. It's probably my fault, because I was impatient and planted her too soon, as she hadn't even reached half an inch of root. All in all, she looks healthy, and I'm happy with the result. I'll be more patient in the future, but I was too enthusiastic to start a new diary after a five-month absence from GD 😅😅** Light schedule : 24/0 Humidity : 50% Soilmoisture : 42% Temp : 26 Celsius Who am i ? I have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / co2 / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends.Greetings MonyetDiablero.

Meh, couldn't wait longer - most of the stigmas are orange, and the trichomes are mostly milky with a few amber ones. Good to go :-D

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et maĂźtres jedis Tout d'abord merci Ă  philosopher seeds ainsi que greenhouse de me permettre de faire cette culture en m'offrant le feeding greenhouse et des graines Je rappelle que cultive simultanĂ©ment 9 pots de 10 et 11 litres dans une box prĂ©vu pour 4 et que je n'utilise que le strict minimum du matĂ©riel nĂ©cessaire Ă  une culture correcte au prix le plus bas possible MATÉRIEL CONFIGURATION Box 80×80×160 Lampe led Lampwin 300 watts ×2 Ventilateur Ă  pince 15 watts Xiaomi Deerma humidificateurs 5L Hygrometre thermomĂštre Extracteur PROFAN 107 m3/h - 100 Prise programmable Ă©lectronique ×2 1 pot carrĂ© noir 10 litres Green house feeding enhancer Green house feeding biobloom Green house feeding biogrow Substrat biobizz ligthmix Fil de fer et pince coupante Microscope Petite balance de prĂ©cision CULTURE ÉTAPE PAR ÉTAPE J'ai tout dabord fais germĂ© ma graine avec le easy start de Royal queen seed et je suis agrĂ©ablement surpris car franchement le taux de rĂ©ussite est trĂšs Ă©levĂ© (17 graines sur 19) simple d'utilisation et trĂšs efficace. Une fois la plantule sortie et d'une hauteur de 2 ou 3 centimĂštres je la prend dĂ©licatement et la place directement dans son pot dĂ©finitif. Je prĂ©conise des pots allant entre 10 litres et 15 litres pour des autofloraisons cultivĂ©es en intĂ©rieur. Le pot aura Ă©tĂ© prĂ©alablement prĂ©parĂ© (video dans diarie) avec 30 grammes d'engrais greenhouse feeding biobloom et 30 grammes de greenhouse feeding biogrow, soit l'Ă©quivalent de 3 grammes par litre de substrat. Je dĂ©pose donc la plantule dans son pot dĂ©finitif je recouvre un peu de avec de la terre je tasse lĂ©gĂšrement et j'arrose pour garder le substrat humide pas plus Je place ma lampe led 300watts Ă  environ 90 centimĂštres de la plantule avec un cycle de lumiĂšre de 24/24 pendant une semaine. Au dĂ©but de la semaine 2 le cycle de lumiĂšre passera en 20/4 grace a un programmateur car c'est pour moi le cycle de lumiĂšre qui offre le meilleur rendement pour une autofloraison. Jour1: lĂ©ger arrosage Jour2: lĂ©ger arrosage Jour3: la plantule commence Ă  ĂȘtre plus vigoureuse mise en place de la ventilation pour augmenter sa masse racinaire et lĂ©ger arrosage Jour4: arrosage avec un litre et demi d'eau ph6.3 Ă  laquelle j'ai ajoutĂ© 0.9 gramme de greenhouse feeding enhancer (soit 0.6 gramme par litre d'eau) Jour5: aucune technique spĂ©ciale Jour6: aucune technique spĂ©ciale Semaine agrĂ©ablement calme sans problĂšme ni carence apparente Que la force soit avec vous !

D73 - 31/03 We’re almost at the finish line with these girls! Haven’t done anything lately, just watching them grow and making sure everything is dialled for them. This week I’ll be mostly away, so I’ll set up my reservoir with only plain water. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I’m very very happy with this grow so far, looking forward to the harvest and curing!

Vegetative week 2 --> A quiet week. The plants grow fast and beatifull, not too much taller but with many new leaves. I watered them the fourth day of the week with 2 lt of 6.5 pH water when they dried out. The environment is always stable and under control. In conclusion, this week the two ladies became bigger and taller with a great and fast vegetative grow😁đŸ’Ș. Temperature grow box---> 22-26 °C Umidity grow box ---> 45 - 55 % Total water of the week ---> 2 Lt/plant

These buds are all dense, frosty, and the smells are just a very sweet thick aroma, of sugary sweet fruits, berries, and citrus, harvested on 10/30/21 these ladies spent 3 weeks in the dry tent at 65F and 60 % RH, then another week in the curing totes, before they were spun and cleaned - I am just blown away with the quality of this harvest!

6cm vertical growth this week but she threw out some nice side growth. Apologies for the timelapse, it starts halfway through the week and finish/start are in the middle of the week 😳
