Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

04/18/2026 Readings: pH: 6.08 EC: 521 cm TDS: 372 ppm Temp: 66.7° I think I need to drain and fill. The above readings are after I replaced a gallon with one that was only flawless finish. I'm guessing this little lady has a few more days. I'm going to try to dry them at the same time. Or it might make more sense to stagger the drying over time. Like this blue dream first then the apple strudel. I have a feeling she's gonna take a bit of time to flush. Theres one area up top that's starting to show some fade, well maybe not fade. I know it's a deficiency of some kind. And it only started a few days ago. I wonder how fast it will be. I don't remember getting any color from my last run. But we'll see how it goes. I've also dropped the temp for lights out. Now it's set to 65° and should get some color. 04/19/2026 Oops 04/20/2026. HAPPY 420 DAY! Readings: pH: EC: TDS: Temp: Not much going on today. Also, don't know what happened with yesterday's entry. It kinda just went away. Twice. Hopefully today will be fine. Anyway, I'm thinking she has a lot more nitrogen in her system than I originally thought. I'm not seeing any fading or anything. She's just chugging along. I have videos, but I can't upload them. Too big. Anyway, videos are out now. Well, I could send poor quality videos, but that would be counter productive. If I can find another way to add trichome videos, I will post those once a week... Wait, I'm harvesting in like 4 to 5 days. Maybe earlier if she starts fading really fast. Oh and she's also slowed way down on the drinking. I think. I'll find out tomorrow morning really. Actually, she didn't need need any top off. Just had a pH issue. It's really low and tends to swing that way. I'm starting to thing I have a root issue. But I can't tell. I can see one dark spot on the roots that I can't get to. Maybe that's some sort of issue. But that one ends up out of the water almost immediately. With so many roots, it's hard to tell. Can't lift them now. Too big all around. Rotts are too big, plant is too. Ig and well, the tent just isn't taller enough. The environment is like spot on today. A nice 73° and 47% humidity in the tent. But I had to use the AC to dry out the place. It was at 53% in the lung room until I don't know what happened , but the AC obviously worked wonders. It's at 47% in here now and 66° Readings: after pH pH: 5.80 EC: 536 cm TDS: 378 ppm Temp: 67.8° 04/21/2026 Readings: pH: 5.71 EC: 532 cm TDS: 377 ppm Temp: 64.2° No idea what's going on, but nearly all the branches have fallen over. Especially the front and left wall. Not so bad in the back, but like A whole bunch have just fallen over. Some even super cropped themselves. No clues what is going on there. I'm trying to prop them up with other branches. Not working. I might have to harvest. Little early. Well, no, I think she's basically ready. I was thinking a week from Saturday. Maybe earlier now. Maybe it's a good thing. Light is getting to those lower buds now. 04/22/2026 Readings: pH: 4.8 EC: 551 cm TDS: 388 ppm Temp: 66.0° Fixing pH now. pH: 6.1 EC: 591 cm TDS: 420 ppm Temp: 64.0° 04/23/2026 Readings: pH: 5.85 EC: 583 cm TDS: 405 ppm Temp: 68.2° 04/24/2026 Readings: pH: 5.65 EC: 541 cm TDS: 385 ppm Temp: 66.9° I don't think I'm going to pH today. It's in range and I'm certain with the rest of the flush happening it won't matter. I got a couple plant yoyos up. But honestly, it only worked on 2 branches. Everything else is now broken or bent too much. I think I'm gonna harvest tomorrow. I was going to today, but I have a feeling it's still a little too early. So tomorrow it is, or maybe Sunday. All I know is I have branches on top of branches and it's not good. The plant either needs to stand up straight or get to gettin. I'm thinking I accidentally drowned it for a few hours. I read that it can cause bendy branches and feel moist. Or something like that. Either way, it's doing all the things. So I waited a couple days without topping off. It helped I think. I topped it off today with plain pHed water. 8 don't think those branches are going to fix themselves. So harvesting is the key to prevent mold. I know I mentioned it before, but in the back, the branches are all doin the same thing. And just as bad. I gotta check the trichomes. A bud fell off midway down the plant, so I put it under the microscope. Lots of cloudy, a few clear and zero amber. Not done. Why? Easy, they were nowhere near close to the light. I should have lifted her higher. But I didn't. Update: I think I might have to harvest like tonight. Too many branches have fallen and now the Apple Strudel is pushing and leaning against the Blue Dream. Causing even more difficulty with the light. Also, I definitely need to use the trellis net for next run. That's gonna be a special one specifically requested from FastBuds. I was gonna do the LemonPaya, but I'm doing this one instead.

Another strong week. I lifted Purplematic by 10cm so that enjoys the same spectrum of light at the top as the others. Pink Kush going strong into flowering and I see some dense bud formations. CBD 20:1 getting ready to an explosive flowering stage. Late into flowering due to HST, it is still growing, spreading and increasing the number of main buds. My guess is that this will be the latest but most productive strain of the 3.

April 5, 2024 Day 50 This week will focus mostly on ScrOG and watering. The lighting will stay roughly the same as the net will be keeping the canopy a bit lower for a bit longer. Nutrients have changed as well. The SCroG net has been installed at 19" from soil. Both plants, again, are the same size and shape and structure and leaf coverage and all. So I had to pull down about 3 tops per plant. The rest of the canopy is just at 19". I plan to keep it that way for at least this week. Hopefully they don't get away from me. The nutrients have been changed around a bit as well. I removed the Big Bud and Sensizym and replaced them with Overdrive at 8 ml/gal and increased Bud Candy to 8 ml/gal for the next 2 to 3 weeks. Then we are looking at flushing for the rest of the grow. So maybe a week and a half of flushing. The lighting was adjusted to match the SCroG net. It is now perfectly set to 24" with the power remaining at 90%. The DLI is at 45 mol/m²/d through most of the canopy. With the net in place, I have a couple extra inches to work with above the light. Plenty of space now. The environment will also be tweaked a bit this week as well. I'm going to try to get the humidity down to 50% by the end of the week, but I always have trouble controlling the environment. I don't expect this to be any different. We shall see. As long as the weather doesn't go insane like it did for my last run, I should be able to keep it steady. Maybe not exactly where I want it, but steady as she goes. I'm also planning on dropping the temp down to 75° for the rest of the run. I'll also be running slightly cooler night temps at that time as well. Maybe 66° would be good. Maybe 65° to bring out that beautiful purple. Update: I forgot to say that I took off a few leaves that were blocking other bud sites. Not many, just to help a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 54.3% VPD: 1.32 kPa April 6, 2024 Watering day today. Both ladies got a full gallon refill today. I also did a bit of research on the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule. Of course I have an autoflower, so it's not quite the same. But I can follow a different schedule that matches my 5 week veg stage. I'll be adding the Big Bud back in and removing the Overdrive for this week. I'll review what the plants are doing and decide what action to take next week. I'm pretty sure I'll need to wait another week before adding the Overdrive and pulling out the Big Bud. I did leave the Bud Candy at 8 ml/gal though. They are definitely in need of more candy. Again, both plants are basically the same. They are both sticky all over now. Even the stems are covered in trichomes. Especially so early in the flowering stage. I didn't check the roots on Tropicana Cookies, mostly because with the net in there I have extremely limited space to work. But we all know the roots are everywhere on the bottom of the container. Tropicana C, on the other hand is starting to show more on the outside of the container. I'll check the bottom tomorrow along with Tropicana Cookies. The lighting hasn't changed at all. Mostly because I brought the tops back down under the net. So the DLI is the same at 45 mol/m²/d and 24" from the canopy. Perfect. Now, I don't really understand how to SCroG really. I know to bring the tops back under the net, but what about raising the net to accommodate the growth of the tops after everything is level again. There are some tops that aren't quite at the net yet, but the whole tent is like that, hence the net in place. The environment is pretty good today. The temp is spot on at 75.6° and the humidity is a bit high at 56.7%. But the VPD is still in that perfection range at 1.30 kPa. Update: I ended up snipping some leaves from both ladies. There were a few massive ones that were covering multiple bud sites. There were a few others in the lower part of the canopy that were blocking the lower bud sites. Now there's a good amount of leaf coverage. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.3° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.36 kPa April 7, 2024 Looking good today. Both ladies had a couple tops pulled back down. I think I'll continue to pull them down until the rest of the plant starts to grow above the net. It's very close. Maybe another couple of days. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Excellent leaf coverage and bud sites developing everywhere. There really isn't much else to say about it. Roots are inaccessible to me now with the net up and the plant being in a rear quadrant. Tropicana C is starting to develop a beautiful root structure along the bottom of the container. All the way around the bottom outside and the very bottom is coming in super evenly. She also had a couple tops pulled down. The rest is catching up. I'm expecting great things. No watering needed today. I'd say another couple of days, then a full reservoir top off for each. Lighting won't be changed for a few more days. When the tops all start climbing over the net, I'll have to either raise the light or drop the power. I still have plenty of space to lift the light, so I'll leave the power the same unless I need to. Let's hope it only needs to be to 80% if need be. The environment is basically perfect with the temp being at 77° and the humidity at 55%. The VPD is perfect at 1.33 kPa. I couldn't ask for better conditions. I'll be gradually dropping the humidity down to 50% and raise the VPD to 1.45 kPa starting next week. Eventually, I want the humidity down to 40% and the temp around 75°. I should be able to pull it off. Especially if I do one final defoliation. I'm not sure that I will to be honest. Unless these leaves get massive, the coverage is excellent. Update: As I did yesterday, I was further inspecting both plants and discovered a few leaves that needed to go. Just a few km each plant. I had to note it though. Cutting leaves is an important thing to note and a step to be careful with. Too much and the plant could get stressed out. So far I'm seeing zero signs of stress. I don't take a lot though, so I don't expect any stress at all. This is only based on my past experiences. I learned that lack of defoliation can be a bad thing. Not for air and light, but for bud formation. My ants would get so full, they overlapped and left no space for the buds to fully develop. It resulted in airy loose buds. Tasty though. Anyway, the lesson was that I don't take enough off. This time around I'm taking just a bit more and the plants seem to be loving it. Lots and lots of well formed buds deep in the canopy. I'm honestly not too sure how tall they will get. The buds are developing quite nicely, but I can tell they are still very new and have a lot of growing to do. That being said, this should be around when the plants take off. We shall see how things go over the next week or so. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 54.4% VPD: 1.36 kPa April 8, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Both ladies look the same still. No issues, no stress, just growth. Nearly all the tops are breaking past the net now, so everything is wonderful. No watering today. They have about 2/3 water left, so maybe another day or so. We shall see. With the plants breaking past the net, I had to lift the light today. Not only did I have to lift it, I also had to drop the power down to 80%. No idea why the DLI was so high, but it was at 50 mol/m²/d. Now it's back down to 45 mol/m²/d. Interesting though. I wonder if my meter needs calibration. Maybe. I'll check it out later. For now I'm looking for slight praying. The environment today is just as good as it has been for most of the grow. The temp is at 76° today. It dipped down to 74° for a couple hours, but picked back up a little while ago as I thought it would. The humidity has been wonderful as well. It's fluctuating between 54% and 56%. Wonderful! Update: The light changes were perfect. Just enough to get some slight praying. Everything is good in the world. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 53.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 9, 2024 Nothing to do today except water. Both plants needed a full reservoir refill. So it's taking them roughly 2 days to empty now. Good to know. They are getting thirsty and that means more growth and production. They both have a decent amount of trichomes coming through now. What a wonderful aroma coming from them. Crisp and sour with a fruity base. Very nice indeed. They don't have any differences, so I can't really make a report about each one without writing the same thing, so I'll just describe them as a whole. Both plants have nice roots coverage on the bottom and lower sides of the containers. Their leaf coverage is basically perfect for what I'm looking for. Plenty of foliage to catch the light, but not too much to overshadow bud sites. There's barely any overlapping leaves and zero clusters. The color is wonderful and they are super healthy. The branches are a bit thin and still very pliable. I think I can expect that to change in the next few days or so. I also took just a few leaves off both plants total. Nothing much, but there was a cluster and an overlapping leaf. Just enough to keep the lower tops free and clear of extra foliage. I didn't move the light today. There aren't enough tops over the net to justify it yet. When the stretch finishes up, I'll reevaluate the light position and power to best cover the whole canopy without over doing it with the taller top sites. I may have to move the light up tomorrow though. Either way, it'll need to be paid attention to over the next week or 2. The environment is still fantastic. And it's beautiful out today. The tent is feeling it and is happily at 75° and 51% humidity. The VPD is very happy at 1.42 kPa. For this exact age of the plants and their progress, the VPD should start to rise a bit to 1.40, so it's now spot on. I think I can bring it up to 1.6 without any issues. That should be around 75° and 45% humidity. I'll see what I can do over the next 2 weeks or so. It should be very simple to bring it down to that temp and humidity. Especially if I do a final defoliation. Honestly, I don't think I'll need to do a defoliation at all. Maybe remove a few overlapping leaves and any clusters that pop up. Other than that, it should be fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 50.3% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 10, 2024 A little bit of change today. Both plants are completely through the net with Tropicana Cookies suddenly slowing down a bit. Or it's Tropicana C that has sped up. Either way, Tropicana C has completely cleared and stretched above the net. They are solid tops and don't want to risk breaking them, so they are growing straight up now. Honestly, I think it's time to let them finish stretching. Other than the slight height difference, there isn't anything else to mention. They both look super healthy and are growing quite nicely. I can't wait to see what they end up like. The light was raised an inch today. That's specifically due to Tropicana C and her stretch. Unfortunately, I'm nearly out of space for the light to go. Either way, the DLI is back down to 45 mol/m²/d. I am also debating on shrinking the footprint a couple inches. Mostly to increase the intensity for better canopy penetration. I may drop it to 22" instead. The canopy isn't all that deep, so this should give some pretty good bud throughout the whole plant. I'm also considering the SCroG net. Frankly, I would like to pull each plant out for inspection and maintenance. With the net there, it cannot be done. However, if the plants stretch in such a way that I can safely lift the net up and off, I will. It all depends on how they look after stretching has finished up. And of course to make sure the buds aren't weighing down the whole branch. I will say, the internodal spacing is really nice. The environment is way off today. The humidity is high at 58° and the temp is low at 74°. It's definitely hurting the VPD at 1.14 kPa. I'll have to mess with it more to see what I can do. I also didn't snip any leaves off today. They really don't need it. However, they may need it in a couple weeks. We shall see. Grow System Environment: Temp: 77.5° RH: 52.5% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 11, 2024 A bit of a trimming session today for both ladies. Not a full session, mind you, but some trimming was done. Mostly leaves in the lower canopy. I also removed a few leaves that were being crushed against the walls of the tent. Those came off as well. I also removed a couple tie downs to allow for those branches to lift up a bit. With the net in place, there is plenty of space in the canopy for light and airflow. Especially from the original training and the way I defoliated. Both ladies are now covered in sticky and sweet smelling trichomes. I was kind of hoping for the trichomes to show up a week ago, but this is fine. I mean, the stretch isn't even done yet, so I can expect even more trichomes. Speaking of trichomes production, my last grow didn't have much in sticky trichomes. I'm thinking it had to do with the light being entirely way too close. It just burned off the trichomes. This round should be much better with the light so far away. Tropicana Cookies looks fantastic. She has wonderful bud to leaf ratio. Great colors and stretching quite nicely. Her tops are completely level and about an inch above the net total. So e of the tops are taller, but not by much. I'm hoping for at least 24" from her. Tropicana C also looks great. It officially has to tallest cola in the tent. I tried to bend it down into the net, but it's just too stiff and tall now. I may tie it down into the tent. I'll check back later today and decide then. She should hit 24" by the end of the stretch. The lighting will need to be changed I think starting tomorrow. With the height where it is and the intensity, it may need a power increase. I also might drop the light an inch. One or the other. The DLI is a tiny bit low, just below 45 mol/m²/d. The outsides are at 38 mol/m²/d, so the intensity needs to be increased. I'm struggling with the environment today. It's super rainy out and it's causing the tent to be a bit too humid. The temp is fine at 75°, but the humidity is a bit high at 56%. It should be around 50% to 53%. The VPD, of course, is a bit low at 1.33 kPa. It should be above 1.40 kPa at this stage. I'll continue to fight with it for the rest of the day. Although, the forecast says rain for a few days, so that may be a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong, the humidity will drop down in a couple hours, but the exhaust fan power is at 100%. I'd prefer it down to 50%. Less power and much quieter. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 53.9% VPD: 1.36 kPa

- introduced 7W far red light bulb to boost stretching (girls are VERY bushy) - slowly drying soil (so I drilled more holes on side of the pot like a cheap dyi airpot) - preflower Keyra (the bigger one) is what I would say a stretching phase and Margot (smaller) evidently falls behind but not stretching yet, I hope she catches her atleast little bit..

This week I just flushed the plant. I think I could have feed nutes the first day of this week, but I decided to flush from the first day, something to improve next time. I think I should have given the last flush one day before harvest instead of 2 days after, I felt that the coco was a bit too dry and the steam was not as moist as the previous harvest, this would have been great if I was doing 14 days dry, but I'm doing a 30 day dry, so this extra moisture would be great. The last 4 days the lights were turned off, as a consequence, the humidity went up the last 4 days, around 56-58%, I don't think I will do this next time. The total flower period was 72 days, according to Barney's farm it would take 60-65 days, I feel that those values are very accurate, my personal circumstances made me take a bit longer, but I barely saw any amber trichomes at harvest day. DAY 152 - Water PH - 5.83 PPM- 777 Solution Temp - 23 Watering Volume - 4L DAY 153 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 783 Solution Temp - 21.6 Watering Volume - 3L DAY 154 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 793 Solution Temp - 21.7 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 155 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 809 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 156 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 810 Solution Temp - 22.7 Watering Volume - 2.5L DAY 158 - Water PH - 5.91 PPM- 587 Solution Temp - 17 Watering Volume - 3L

Grow is going complete well. Plants are maturing quite fast and frosting up tremendously. Smell are getting strong as the grow can now be smelt outside of my home. (No carbon filter needed). About to more weeks before harvest and it seems like the plant are starting to senes slowing. Starting to see light shades of purple of the leaves.

Now we are in week 8. Plants stopped growing. I will let them grow two more weeks and then I will at least harvest two of them. Depending on the trichomes I will keep the other two for 4-5 weeks more, because I will be away ... traveling lets hope that the sun is coming out again and that the buds get bigger and bigger in the last two weeks. BTW I stopped giving any type of nutrients, just water.

Hello m8 welcome to this journey with me in this diary will have very interesting strains hope u find something useful PersianGirl - [ ] 1st week Veg: germinated in substrate lighting very close so it jets medium high humidity after the 3rd day they started sprouting - [ ] 2nd week Veg: this week my ventilator broke down and as the temperature stayed very warm nothing developed much - [ ] 3rd week Veg:fortunately this week i had fixed the ventilation and the temperature has go down a bit allowing the little plants to develop and reinforce - [ ] 4th week:very good developments in this week I already started feeding a bit two times but i didn’t have to…once was enough - [ ] 5th week Veg:this week they were very strong green i only had to water them good and keep the ventilators going no stop .They have good hight already ,but as i have to strains together. I want to transplant them when the hight of the other one have stretched… I’m thinking to transplant next week if not the next one - [ ] 6th week Veg: this week it went great fortunatly i dont have pests that eat my buds i’ve givven a fed once the substrate is very rich already the plants streached very well i will transplant today so be ready m8 i cant wait to show you the progress - [ ] 1st week Fl:they started stretching and looking very healthy just transplanted - [ ] 2nd week Fl this week I’ve been away i had a friend taking care of them they stretching very well i hope that she starts putting energy into the flo - [ ] 3rd week Fl:they are streaching very well ..getting the light very well - [ ] 4th week Fl:there we aree guys the good stage is heree good high hope dosent effect de prod - [ ] 5th week Fl:pumping very good this week a lot of changes started already being fros - [ ] 6th week Fl: - [ ] 7th week Fl

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.
