There was mixed weather again all week. She took some heavy rain and I therefore skipped the nutrients for a few days because she was soaked in water all the time. This caused a slight nutrient deficit that I hope to compensate the next few days with regular feedings. I had to take some leafs of that were yellow... But all In all she is doing fine and she is gaining flower mass. And she starts to smell really nice.

This week have been amazing. The buds are swelling up and the smell is overwhelming. I broke the stem on one plant and that have damaged it and the result was smaller buds than the rest of the plants. I got 2 orange sherberts that are 1-2 weeks behind in flower and reason unknown. My 2 Haze strains are finishing up rather quickly leaving the Sherberts as the slowest finisher out of the 5 strains from Barney's. Cookies and pink kush are the fastest to finish. All strains are bulking up very nicely. Pink kush: Slow in early veg with beautiful leaves true to the kush strains. I fed them half strenght and they were really loving it early on. Later in veg they went from being the smallest plants to being the biggest plants and for sure a heavy yielder. No issues thru out the grow. Just have no words for the bud structure and colors it is out of this reality to me. More than i could wish for. Just amazing colars thru out the 9 pink kush plants i have. Orange sherbert: This one was for sure the most promising early on with beautiful leaves as well as bouncing back from topping and defoliation. Never really had a problem with the strain other than some cal mag issue. Amazing bud structure taking form in week 6 just mind blowing really. Cookies kush: As vigorous as the Sherbert early on and just finishing out on top. One of the better plants i have is a Cookie but just beautiful flowers forming early on to bulk up and be like knuckles. The other cookie i got formed some abnormal buds almost like its a monstrosity. Just fat colars with Very thick and short pistils. Very sticky and agressive looking and just super pungent. G13 Haze: Did not really pay attention to this strain. I will comment on it after harvest. Utopia Haze: The Utopia Haze early on was very long and had huge leaves. Taller and bigger leaves than the rest but with very long spacing between the nodes. It was forming beautiful flowers that looked ready to harvest before any other strain in the tent. The buds look like the the ice cream on a ice cream cone. Just simply Amazing and beautiful. Cannot wait to keep it to myself and dear ones. It smells so sweet and with a twist of creamy caramel im just blown away.

Big fat colas almost there. You can see the structure, but they’ve just started to fatten up. Those colas are getting heavy. I think I’ll have to help them with a bamboo stick or something else. The smell is very strong, especially if you touch the stems or the sugar leaves. Next week I’ll stop with Big Bud and start with Overdrive 👊

Vamos familia, actualizamos la segunda semana de floración de estas Runtz de MSNL. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca) Llevaba 10 años trabajando en sodio y fue un salto de gigantes cambiar a los Leds, jamás me arrepentiré de ese cambio. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Hey growmies! My buds grow well, i found some pollen balls and immediately remove them, I guess the reason is temp fluctuations at night. But everything goes fine, the plants hungry for sulfur and this is normal for flowering.

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!!!!

I wasn’t around much this week so there aren’t as many pictures. I regret not having much time as I had/have (not sure at the moment there are no more new white spots popping up) a thrips infection which I tried to correct with some organic insecticides and Neem oil which I always used in the past but completely neglected with this grow and am paying the price now. I haven’t encountered thrips or any other bug before but with a higher number of plants in one box and the fact that I was to lazy to clean my box after the last grow may be the cause of this now.

This grow is over. Both plants have been processed & after drying for 14 days (trying to stay 60/60 as much as possible) Each plant has been bagged and locked into it's cure phase via Grove bags. Both phenos were absolutely phenomenal specimens & growing them out was an honor. Pheno one dominated her sister in every aspect except for Terps. She grew faster , was more resilient , developed denser trichome coated flowers and ultimately yielded more @ 220g. Her smell is bright Citrus with Skunky undertones. Now the shorty pheno may not have yielded as much as her taller more vigorous sister, but her terps were off the charts! Pungent sweet Citrus that almost burns the sinuses. She came in @ 147g with 60g of floof that I've arranged for pressing in the nearby future. Her buds were not as dense as her sister's but notably stickier.All in all I'm very pleased with a total yield of 428g. I got both plants divided into four 1/4 LB Grove Bags with RH locked at 60-62%RH . Smoke report coming after a minimum 2 week cure. Thank you to everybody who stopped by to check this grow out. I hope this diary can be used as a reference to those who wish to try growing in living soil and sub irrigated planters. Pineapple Runtz grow underway!

Start of week 3: august 9th Battling caterfuckers and using foliar sprays to keep at bay. Trimmed her a lot to keep the light WPM she has but no worries there. Smells just like diesel with a hint of sweet candy land

Week 12 and the plant is still going strong. It’s fading fast and plumping up. Trichroms are about 80% cloudy and 20% clear. Almost no amber. At this point I’m only giving the plant PH water. Plant still looks like it has some weight to still put on.

Tag 70 Blütetag 30 Fokus & Freiheit im Zelt! 🏔️💨 Halbzeit in der Blüte und der Dschungel atmet auf! 🚀 30 Tage nach der Umstellung am 19. Dezember haben wir die Zügel im 90x90 Zelt wieder fest in der Hand. Das Update vom Feld: • Der große Kahlschlag: Letzten Dienstag haben wir alle Damen noch mal ordentlich entlaubt. Das sorgt für maximale Lichtausbeute an den unteren Bud Sites und eine perfekte Luftzirkulation im „Forest-Floor“ Klima. • Zapplez 2.0 (The Centerpiece): Sie steht jetzt völlig frei im Rampenlicht. Die dunkle, fast mystische Färbung kommt nach dem Entlauben noch krasser zur Geltung ein echter Kontrast Killer! 🍇❄️. • Z-Vally Power: Die beiden Z-Vallys (hinten links & vorne rechts) nutzen den neuen Platz sofort aus und pumpen ordentlich Masse in die Blüten. • OreoZ Milkshake: Kein Verstecken mehr! Die beiden Damen (vorne links & hinten rechts) haben den Turbo gezündet und die Blütenbildung ist jetzt absolut on point. 🥛🍪 Präzision & Living Soil Power 🎯 Wir sind wieder voll messfähig! Gegossen wird präzise mit pH 6,0, um in dieser entscheidenden Phase das Maximum aus den Terpenen zu kitzeln. Ein riesiges Lob an @panova25.de die Pufferwirkung des @living_roots_pro hat uns perfekt durch die Zeit ohne Messgerät getragen, aber mit der Feinjustierung holen wir jetzt das Gold nach Hause!. Die Vitalität in den 30L Stofftöpfen ist nach dem Entlauben unschlagbar. Wir steuern mit Vollgas auf das finale Drittel zu!
