Man, it must really suck to see that skunk apple plant doing so poorly. It barely grew at all, and those four points on it are supposed to make it look cool, but they're super tiny. It's looking more like a skinny stalk with a few weak branches.

Week 7 of flowering Buds are swelling and not much production anymore. Seeds are also developing and I think that the tops don't have that much seeds in them and most are in the larf. I moved one Cree led from top to bottom last week and now I moved it to closer to these girls to promote the production of the lower buds/popcorn. pH has been stable 6.4 no matter what but ec is drifting and I diluted it this week from 3.6->2.8 and now the ec is 2.6 Trichomes are maybe 70% clear and 30%cloudy so I'd say that two weeks and they are ready!

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.

Day 49 smells amazing anywhere near the tent. I have done a ton of defoliation to allow some more air flow and added another small fan and also a dehumidifier.Going to drop humidity to 55 percent and I have increased the light intensity to 70 percent power.These girls have been very thirsty and drinking around a half a gallon of water every 24-48 hours. Day 50 I added a 4 inch inline fan to add some cool air from outside the tent to help cool things down a bit.Got some curl on some of the fan leaves which it’s time for more of them to go.Buds are starting to develop nicely and I added a dose of Plagron green sensation and a dose of cal mag in tonight’s watering.

It’s day 33’from seed. All of the plants are really healthy. The plants have a really great root system at this point… I am currently slowly moving the light intensity up to the veg area. Now that are in a groove they are about to explode… I’m hoping I can flip the plants to flower in 1 weeks but I’m thinking I will wait to weeks and let them get a little larger. The plants are just now starting to look visually different next weeks update I will be ababoe to go into the visual differences, they are just not that extreme yet to really talk to much about.

Week 3 Bloom I did nothing this week I cleaned and changed the reservoir then sat back and let the timers do the work. This week everything grew so much. At the beginning of the week I was concerned about nug spacing. A few days later no concern at all lol. This is looking to be a nice grow. 🤞🤞

Topped two of the taller ones, trying to get them all the same height. Possibly thinking of doing scrog or sog. Brought the light down an inch or so. Started to give them bio buzz bio grow 1.5ml /l Little video and a picture of the setup. Seem fine at the moment no complaints

Hey Leute, Chup Chup die kleine Lokomotive ist stark am Dampfen!!! Die Woche 7 ist im vollem Gange und die Buds werden immer größer ^^ Ich konnte noch schnell genug reagieren, habe mich jetzt bei einem ppm von 1200 eingependelt. Die Hitze von der Lampe ist immens, habe sie jetzt auf 75% dauerhaft reduziert, und die Höhe eingestellt, ca 1200 ppfd im ganzen Zelt. Die Lemon Skunk (Red No. 2) rechts hinten macht mir etwas Sorgen aber jetzt ist es auch nicht mehr so lange bis zur Ernte!!! Ich bin mal gespannt ob das mit dem Roten Licht wirklich eine Wirkung hat und ich bessere Buds und früher ernten kann. Sie haben immer noch immensen Durst alle 4 Tage 5 Liter pH und Dünger Wasser. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch wie sie aussehen, schade, dass man den Duft nicht durch Handy schicken kann!!! Liebe Grüße Fićo!

A great week of growth and development. Did a small defoliation, and clean of the tent. The girls are very leafy, and some of that needed to go to increase air flow and prevent issues from developing. Love this time of growing as there is not much to do, but watch the buds stack! Happy Gardening 👊❤️🇨🇦

She's starting to smell very nice! Already much stronger smell than my last grow which is welcomed! I moved the lights down 4 inches in hopes to 'light train' it and prevent the main cola from gaining more height so it can concentrate on the budsites, hopefully it pays off. Live and learn! Happy growing y'all!

Added humidifier. A bit late but I keep it pumped up during lights go. It will stay around 60-70 for the next three weeks. Looking to encourage some stretching. Plants are very short and bushy. I may not even need a scrog. Lets see how they grow over the next few weeks. 10/29 The ladies seem to really like the extra humidity. They are still vegging as to be expected. Really short and bushy compared to my last run!

Also die schauen Mega aus und die buds schwellen jetzt auch schön an und die Pflanzen an sich sind super. ABER Die scheiß Viecher gehen nicht weg! Jetzt sind die Trauermahlen endlich weg und auf einmal sind thripse da. Zwar nicht allzu viele aber sie sind da….. Daher werd ich nächsten grow als Substrat einen großen Teil cocos benutzen. Das soll steril sein und die Viecher mögen es nicht! Abgesehen davon soll man damit auch bessere Erträge reinholen können und die terpen gehakte sind anscheinend auch höher. Die terps sind krass! Sowas hätte ich nicht erwartet. Bin sehr erstaunt das riecht richtig nach 10/10 topshelf! Hut ab an Lit farms Ab jetzt werden ein bisschen weniger Nährstoffe gegeben und ab nächster Woche die Wassermenge leicht reduziert.

It’s the first day of week 7. The nugs are swelling up nice considering what they have been through. They are starting to smell strong. Both plants smell completely different. Even tho they are the same strain and from the same pack of seeds. If you have an idea of what’s going on with my fan leaves let me know.

12/13- Here we go...Week 6 of flower and shit's gonna be happening from here on out to harvest! Now it's more important than ever to make sure that everything is on point, and I mean EVERYTHING: Temp's/RH/co2/VPD/Water and Nutrients. All is critical at this stage as the girls are pouring everything they have into their flowers and anything that upsets them will have a direct negative affect on them. They were fed today .75g de-chlorinated water with a starting ppm of 100 with a 0.2 EC. To the water was added Fox Farms Nutrients (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) to give a final solution strength of 1700ppm's 3.4 EC @ 74deg. with a final ph of 6.2. They get watered with a 2g pump sprayer with a hose and wand attached from which I remove the spray head so that it gives a steady stream. It comes in handy, and I water them right at the main trunk and let the moisture soak up and outward through the entire pot. The Meringue is continuing to turn beautiful shades of reds and pinks and the #2 White Widow pheno is expressing some pink tips on some of the sugar leaves on her flowers. The Seedsman Peyote WiFi is stacking like hell and some of her shade leaves have turned yellow as she uses up nutrients in them. After todays heavy feed we'll see how she responds in the next day or so. The Poochie Love's are smokin' hot! Man I LOVE this strain, what a couple of beauties, vigorous and tolerant of just about anything you can throw at them. 12/15- Took down the trellis net today...I was using the braided nylon type, as it was what I had, and couldn't stand seeing the fucking fibers from it sticking to all of the 'fruits' of my labor and love so down it came!😡 It was, of course, a royal PITA to remove it trying to avoid further deposits of fibers from it dragging over the plants...so happy it's gone! All the girls appear to share my joy as they are looking sexy as hell!😍 They're getting watered daily now with 3/4g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2-6.5 @ 72-74 deg. With the Dutch Passion Meringue and the Peyote WiFi from Seedsman seeds are the two thirstiest of the bunch and always seem to be thirsty and aren't shy about letting you know! Today all that was added was Fox Farms Boomerang (final ph of 6.2 @ 74 deg. 500ppm / 1.0 EC) to help with the stress they encountered during the trellis removal. All of the girls colas are stacking like crazy and getting huge with heavy trichome production, especially on the Dutch Passion Meringue and Whit Widow, as well as the Archive Seed Poochie Love's. 12/17- Today was feed day, they all drank up 3/4g de-chlorinated water (the Meringue and Peyote WiFi got 1g each) with Fox Farms nutrients added (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) to reach a final solution strength of 1400ppm's 2.8 EC at a 6.3 ph that was adjusted up using baking soda. Day temp's are maintaining a range of 78-82 degrees and night temp's I've dropped to 64-67 degrees for the final 3-4 weeks of flower to get that beautiful 'fall fade'. I've had to stake up the branches on the Peyote WiFi and White Widow #1 as their colas are so freakishly large they're bending the branches completely over (no...I don't miss the trellis net!😠) and actually split one on the White Widow that I had to administer some First Aid to (don't worry...she'll be just fine!). The variety of aromas coming off my girls is amazing and goes from piney to gas, to sweet/fruity...just mouth watering. I wish you could smell them, I'm sure you'd smile a big toothy grin!😁 12/19- I know I said it before...but I really dislike trellis nets! 😆 So as an added PITA after removing it, the stalks on the Meringue, Peyote WiFi and White Widow #1 are too weak to support the weight of the massive cola's they're sporting. The netting supported the branches and as a result they had no need to stiffen up the way a plant without support would do. I went ahead and staked all three to give the stalks/cola's support. Unfortunately when I was working on the Meringue one of her stalks coming off the very bottom of the main stalk broke off clean at the main trunk.😖 Never accepting defeat easily, I cut about 4" off the stalk, jammed it in some Clonex Gel and stuck it in a 1g pot with coco/perlite, then watered it in thoroughly. Eight hours later its leaves are still not drooping so I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what it looks like tomorrow. Pisses me off to have it happen as there's probably close to 1/2 oz. of flower on it...oh well, not the first branch I've broken, and more than likely wont be the last!😎 Straight de-chlorinated water today, .75g each with 5ml/g Botanicare CalMag+ added then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74 degrees F. They are looking like Rock Stars and are only going to get better from here on out...hang on!

Hallo Zusammen, heute war BT 20 und somit war es Zeit für die entlaubung bzw. Lollipoppen. Ich hab im unteren Drittel so gut wie alles an Popcorn buds und Blättern entfernt damit die Luft besser zirkulieren kann. Oben habe ich mich ein wenig zurückgehalten aber doch einiges an neuen Trieben freigelegt. Ich werde das die Tage beobachten und evtl. noch einzelne Blätter entfernen. Heute wurden alle nochmal gegossen mit Hesi SuperVit (Aminosäure booster) und dem Greenhouse enhancer. Die SanLight läuft jetzt auf 80% (212Watt) bei einem Abstand von 30-40cm. Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt bei 50-55% und die Temperatur bei 24-25°C was einen VPd von 1.15 kPa ergibt, also optimal für das aktuelle Stadium. LG Limez P.S: auf den letzten Bilder sind links die beiden Toronjaz, die kleine in der Mitte ist die Jamaican pearl und rechts ist die tropicozz
