A couple days before chopping. Spotted budrot at 2 spots in the New 2. So almost time to cut before it get worse. The rest is doing fine, New 1 and Strawberry are gonna be the first ones to get chopped together,branches are under load and some are bending down

Sour Wiz is still in veg. 7 weeks. Looking fantastic. EAsiest strain to grow so far. 0 issues and respond so everything well. Once I can sex I’ll separate and start planning to flower. Skywalker OG is still going great in week 9 of flower. STARTING to see a lot of bud structure and white hairs. Northern Lights is still surprising because it was so mutated and now its thriving.

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | The Queen Is Still Getting Heavier 👑🔥🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our Queen... Well... She's still doing what she does best. 😂👑 Growing. Filling space. Building flowers. Getting heavier. Getting louder. And somehow continuing to make me stop every time I walk into the room. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A remains one of those plants that doesn't really need an introduction anymore. You see her... and you know exactly who she is. She's the tall one. She's the funky one. She's the heavily branched one. She's the one with flowers everywhere. She's the one getting heavier by the week. And she's still not finished. Not even close. So let's give this Queen the spotlight again. Because honestly... she deserves it. 👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 11 – THE AUTO THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE AN AUTO ──────────────────────── Now we're getting into an interesting part of this experiment. Because technically... we're moving into the autoflower section of the 8×8 Adventure. 😂🌱 But I'm going to be completely honest with you: I'm not entirely sure anymore where the autoflowers end and the photoperiods begin. 😂 We're running everything under 12/12 from seed. We're treating the room as one shared ecosystem. Same general lighting. Same environmental strategy. Same irrigation system. Same nutrition approach. Same photons. And somehow... the plants are all finding their own rhythm within that setup. Some are moving quickly. Some are moving slowly. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are stacking aggressively. Some are taking their time. And some... well... they're behaving like autoflowers. Or perhaps the photoperiods are behaving like autoflowers. 😂 At this point, I honestly don't know. Maybe they're all just behaving like plants. And that's actually the part I love most. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE 12/12-FROM-SEED MYSTERY ──────────────────────── This entire project started with one of the things I find most fascinating about growing: What happens when we stop trying to put every plant into a perfectly predictable box? We've got different cultivars. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. And yet they're all sharing the same 12/12 environment. And they're responding... but not identically. Amnesia Haze Pheno A is a perfect example. She's an autoflower. Yet when I look at her in this room, I'm not sitting there thinking: "Ah yes, that's clearly an autoflower." 😂 She's simply behaving like a plant that has found her rhythm. She's flowering. She's building. She's developing. She's getting heavy. And she's doing it under the same light schedule as everybody else. That's what makes this experiment so interesting. We're not forcing the plants to fit our expectations. We're watching them tell us what they want to do. ──────────────────────── 🌸 AND SHE'S STILL BUILDING ──────────────────────── The biggest thing I notice this week? She's still building. The flowers continue to develop. The structure remains incredibly full. And the weight throughout the plant is becoming increasingly obvious. She's not just carrying flowering sites anymore. She's carrying flowers. Lots of them. And because she's such a large, three-dimensional plant, they're distributed throughout the entire structure. High. Low. Inside. Outside. Along the branches. Hidden behind foliage. Everywhere. 😂🌸 You think you've found the last flower... and then another one appears. And another. And another. It's like she has an unlimited supply. And honestly? I'm not complaining. Not one bit. ──────────────────────── 🍃 THE FUNKY LEAVES ARE STILL HERE ──────────────────────── And yes... our funky leaf lady is still doing her thing. 😂🍃👑 Up. Down. Sideways. At angles that sometimes make me wonder whether the leaves have their own architectural plans. And I still find it fascinating. Because we're working with a three-dimensional lighting environment. Main lighting from above. Additional lighting deeper into the canopy. Additional light reaching areas that wouldn't necessarily receive the same illumination from a traditional overhead-only setup. And then we have this girl... responding in her own particular way. Could the lighting contribute to what we're seeing? Possibly. Could it simply be her genetics? Absolutely. Could it be a combination? Very possible. I'm not going to pretend I have the answer. And that's okay. Sometimes the best part of a grow diary is documenting an observation without immediately deciding what caused it. We'll keep watching. We'll keep photographing. And we'll let the plant tell us more. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANTS ──────────────────────── And this brings me back to one of the biggest themes of the 8×8 Adventure. Photons don't care what label is written next to the plant. 😂☀️ They arrive. The leaves intercept them. The plant processes that energy. And then... genetics take over. One phenotype creates one architecture. Another creates something completely different. One plant stretches. Another stays compact. One plant flowers quickly. Another takes the scenic route. One plant becomes extremely frosty. Another becomes incredibly large. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She apparently decided: "Why not be tall, funky, heavily branched AND loaded with flowers?" 😂👑🌿 Fair enough, Queen. You do you. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE LIGHTING UPGRADE CONTINUES TO WORK ──────────────────────── The room is still running with the upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup. We added two additional Black Series 600W fixtures to give the room more capability. Rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we brought the fixtures down to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug which gives us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And that's something I really like about this setup. We have the capability... but we're controlling it. We're not chasing numbers simply because we can. We're creating a larger lighting envelope and then using the available power intelligently. And this Queen? She's clearly making use of it. 😂🌿💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE QUEEN IS FILLING HER SPACE ──────────────────────── At around 175 cm, this girl is still one of the big characters in the room. And she knows how to use that space. She's not just tall. She's three-dimensional. She's got branches moving in different directions. Flowers positioned at different heights. Foliage creating layers. And flowers tucked throughout those layers. That's what makes her so impressive. You can stand back and see the entire plant... and then move closer and discover another story. A branch. A flower. A cluster. A little patch of frost. Another developing flower hidden behind a leaf. It's almost like looking at a city from above. From far away, you see the structure. Get closer... and suddenly there are thousands of individual things happening. That's Amnesia Haze Pheno A right now. ──────────────────────── 🔥 HEAVY MAMA IS STILL HEAVY ──────────────────────── And yes... she's still getting heavy. 😂🔥 This has become one of the defining characteristics of this girl. The branches are carrying serious amounts of flower. The support system continues doing its job. And the plant is increasingly looking like she has some weight behind every major branch. That's a beautiful thing to see. Because when you follow a plant week after week, you get to see the transition. First: "Look at all these flowering sites." Then: "Look at those flowers developing." Then: "Okay... those flowers are becoming substantial." And eventually: "Right... this girl is getting heavy." 😂👑 We're definitely in that chapter now. ──────────────────────── 💨 AND THAT AROMA... ──────────────────────── The smell continues to be another part of her personality. She's not exactly shy. 😂🔥 The flowers are becoming increasingly noticeable. And this is one part of growing that photography simply can't capture. I can photograph her structure. I can photograph her flowers. I can photograph the frost. I can photograph the leaves. But I can't photograph the smell. Not yet, anyway. 😂📸 So some parts of this diary have to remain purely sensory. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is definitely making herself known in that department too. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE QUEEN GETS THE SAME NUTRITIONAL UPDATE ──────────────────────── As with the rest of the room, we've also increased the nutrition this week. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again, we're treating the room consistently. No special recipe simply because she's Amnesia Haze. No completely separate world. Same general nutritional foundation. And then we observe. Her response continues to be beautiful. She's growing. She's developing. She's maintaining her structure. She's building flowers. She's getting heavier. And she's clearly continuing to use what the environment provides. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same overall strategy. And yet... look at her. That's the part I keep coming back to. The environment provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. ──────────────────────── 🔬 AUTO OR PHOTO? MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP ASKING 😂 ──────────────────────── Honestly... this 12/12-from-seed experiment has reached the point where I'm starting to question my own categories. 😂 We have autoflowers. We have photoperiod genetics. They're all sharing the same 12/12 schedule. And the behavior? It's surprisingly fascinating. Some of the autoflowers don't look dramatically different from the photoperiod plants. Some of the photoperiods are moving with an almost autoflower-like rhythm. And each individual plant is still expressing itself differently. So perhaps the most useful observation isn't: "Does this look like an auto?" or: "Does this look like a photo?" Maybe the better question is: "What is this particular plant doing in this particular environment?" And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is answering: "I'm going to build flowers everywhere and get heavier while I'm at it." 😂👑🌸 Message received. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM. SAME AMBIANCE. DIFFERENT STORIES. ──────────────────────── This is why I keep repeating the same sentence throughout these diaries: Same room. Same environment. Different genetics. Different expression. And yes... I know I've said it before. 😂 But that's because it's important. Especially for anyone discovering this diary for the first time. Every phenotype has its own diary. And every reader may only see one of these reports. So I want the experiment to remain clear. We're not changing everything for every plant. We're watching what happens when different genetics experience a common environment. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A is giving us a spectacular example. She is doing something very different from many of the other girls. And that's exactly what we're here to document. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA STILL HAS A LOT OF WORK ──────────────────────── I don't think this girl is ever going to make the photographer's job easy. 😂📸 There are simply too many details. Wide shot: "Wow, she's huge." Medium shot: "Look at that structure." Closer: "Look at those flowers." Closer still: "Look at the frost." Macro: "Okay, now I'm completely lost." 😂🔬 That's the fun. Every distance tells a different story. And this plant has enough structure to keep revealing something new every time I look at her. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING ──────────────────────── At this point, Amnesia Haze Pheno A has already established herself. She's one of the big personalities of the room. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's heavily branched. She's flower-loaded. She's funky. She's aromatic. She's getting heavy. And she's still developing. She doesn't need to compete. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to finish first. She's simply being herself. And honestly? That's what I want. Because the purpose of this adventure isn't to make every plant behave identically. It's to discover what each one wants to become. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this stage, I'm watching a few things particularly closely. 🌸 Flower development. How much more will those flowers build? ⚖️ Weight. How will the plant continue handling the increasing weight throughout her structure? ❄️ Resin. How much more frost will appear as she continues developing? 💨 Aroma. How will that loud Amnesia Haze character continue evolving? 🍃 And, of course... whatever the hell those leaves decide to do next. 😂 Because apparently they're writing their own diary. ──────────────────────── 🔮 STILL PLENTY OF STORY LEFT ──────────────────────── And despite how impressive she looks right now... we're not finished. Not even close. That's important. Week 11 is still a chapter. Not the ending. There's still development ahead. Still flowers to build. Still resin to watch. Still structure to observe. Still aroma to experience. And plenty more photographs to take. So I'm not going to start predicting exactly where this girl is going to finish. I'm simply going to enjoy the ride. Because she's already made this one hell of an interesting journey. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE QUEEN KEEPS GETTING HEAVIER ──────────────────────── Week 11. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A. And the Queen is still doing exactly what she knows how to do. 👑🌿🔥 She's tall. She's funky. She's heavily branched. She's carrying flowers everywhere. She's getting heavier. She's getting louder. She's continuing to develop. And she's doing it under the same 12/12-from-seed environment as the rest of the room. Which brings me right back to the strange little mystery we're seeing throughout this entire adventure. The autoflowers are behaving a little like photoperiods. The photoperiods are behaving a little like autoflowers. And maybe... just maybe... under 12/12 from seed, the labels become a little less interesting than the actual plants. 😂🌱 Because at the end of the day... this girl doesn't care what we call her. She's Amnesia Haze Pheno A. She's got her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own personality. Her own way of using the photons. And her own way of filling the room. And honestly? She's doing an incredible job. 👑💚🌸🔥 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let the Queen shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how much heavier this beautiful girl can become. Because she's not finished. Not even close. And I have a feeling... she still has a few surprises left for us. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to surprise me every week. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared room. One common environment. And so many completely different personalities. And Amnesia Haze Pheno A? She's one of the loudest characters in the room. 😂👑 She's tall. She's funky. She's heavy. She's flower-loaded. She's aromatic. She's beautiful. And she's still growing. So let's give this Queen her spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. And let's see where this incredible girl takes us next. 👑🌿💡🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the autos are acting like photos, the photos are acting like autos, and Amnesia Haze Pheno A is apparently just doing whatever the hell she wants. 😂👑🌿🔥

yo ppl out there growing this strain: First of all congratulations !! This is something truly special !! I just fall deeper and deeper in love with this cultivar. so to anyone growing this two notes, right quick: - you can feed this one real heavy !! I been red lining her with nutes. close to maxing out all the way thru. I think there were only two waterings with just sugar water. she responds very well to heavy nutes. - also veg her out longer than you would. She don't stretch much. I have the mom and two clones going but mom is three weeks ahead. I'll be posting some buds soon from her actually. Anyway Greenhouse seeds co. describes it as creamy smell, a dark chocolate and coffee smell. Maybe I got a pheno but I don't get that. I get toffee and lemon flower, kinda like twizzlers and sprite but somebody frothing up cream in the coffee machine. but no coffee. Mom is 3 weeks ahead and she smells the same. soon as I pull up smell welcomes me home. type of smell that just pulls you in and you just want to follow. the buds are so dense !! I wouldn't want to be the story bastard to take of of these buds to the dome after falling of the empire state. The golf balls would take somebody out. some of the hardest nugs I've grown for sure. TIGHT !! this is something very special

This strain was easy to grow right from seed. I think it will be one of my favourite strains this grow. Time to dry and cure. I will report the weight when dry. 💚✌️🏼

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Daylight hours this week will be below 13.5. I can't use halves in the grow conditions, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were overcast with all day rain and mist. It's about as bad of weather as u can get for cannabis in flower. Let's see how these fastbuds hold up to 💯 fu weather. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 88°F with clear sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot with well water. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 74°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons Day 4 we had a high temperature of 79°F with partly cloudy skies. I watered about 5 gallons of well water. These girls are getting close to mid flower, but for now seem to be happy with the nutrients I top dressed with. Day 5 Week had a high temperature of 85°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons of well water per pot. Day 6 I didn't get photos but it was a normal day. Lots of sunshine highs about 80°F. I watered about 5 gallons. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 79° F. These girls haven't shown any signs of hunger. I think I'll feed some tomorrow. Today I watered about 5 gallons and treated with Growers Ally fungicide. Overall this week was a success. Their growth height has been achieved. They are in full flower and kicking up a nice citrus smell.

She’s still being babysat by a friend and so far she’s growing strong. Have a good stretch so the light was moved up a bit as well, also implemented some LST. Can’t wait to see her again.

The first official week of flowering is complete. During this phase, the plant showed a noticeable stretch and transitioned from a very compact structure into a more open, light-efficient canopy. At the beginning of the week, only a few tops were clearly defined, while most bud sites were still in early pre-flower stages. Over the course of the week, this changed significantly: multiple bud sites became active and started to develop visibly. The distribution of tops across the canopy is very even, which is a direct result of early training (topping + LST). Stretch averaged around ~1 cm per day, with a slight acceleration toward the end of the week. Current plant height is approximately 32 cm. Despite the relatively short overall height, the vertical growth of individual branches improved light penetration and overall efficiency. The structure remains compact but no longer overly dense. Internodal spacing is moderate, indicating a more indica-leaning phenotype. At the same time, the branches appear strong enough to support future bud development. The plant is responding well overall. After a brief adjustment phase (water/light changes), it has returned to active growth with healthy leaf structure. Leaf color is a consistent, healthy green with no visible deficiencies or signs of overfeeding. Actions & Setup: • Increased light intensity (prime position in the tent) • Light defoliation to expose bud sites • Nutrients still in transition phase (2-2-2 to 2-2-3.5 ratio) • Bud Candy introduced • Big Bud planned for next feeding Week Summary: A very solid first week of flowering. The stretch started slightly delayed but is now progressing well. With the number of bud sites and the even canopy structure, the plant shows strong yield potential despite its compact size. Focus for FW2: Maximize light utilization, introduce PK boost (Big Bud), and stabilize bud development.

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

1/5/202 6:12 AM Monday they all look so good. I got rid of advanced nutrients completely, and all of my plants have transformed into what they should’ve been the whole time. I either got a bad batch or let’s just face It, advanced nutrients may not be what you think it is. I’ve given them several chances and I’m gonna lower them to a one star product and I’m starting over with the general hydroponics. I’ll never look back. 1/5/26 6:32 AM. I learned this from the Three Stooges this morning. I believe I have Three Stooges syndrome, but that’s not important right now the words of Curly are important🚨🚨🚨🚨 If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!!!!!!🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 that’s the greatest advice from Curly from the three stooges you’re welcome. 1/7/26 12:47AM my I am failing. If I dont bounce back all the plants are going to go with me. rest a few hours, get the blood off my neck nd back. Maybe take me 1 2 hours medical stasis meditation, and back to Samurai Warrior in no time at all.... 💪💪💪💪💪 1/7/26 1:13AM 🚨 I had an idea!!!!!!!! from Grok:🚨🚨 That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/7 2:14PM ❄️🚨❄️⚡️The chills and uncontrollable shaking you’re describing—especially when inflammation-type pain flares up and it gets even a little chilly, feeling like you’re dropping into hypothermia and needing blankets fast to stop the shaking—sound like a pain-triggered autonomic response (sometimes called “pain chills” or rigors in chronic pain contexts). It’s not true hypothermia (your core temp isn’t actually dangerously low), but your body is reacting as if it is, through rapid muscle contractions (shivering) to generate heat. Why This Happens in Chronic Pain/Inflammation Your nervous system (particularly the autonomic part that handles “fight-or-flight” and temperature regulation) can get dysregulated in long-term pain conditions. Severe or widespread pain acts like a massive stressor, spiking adrenaline and sympathetic activity. This can cause: • Vasoconstriction (blood vessels near the skin narrow to conserve heat for core organs), making your skin feel cold even if the room isn’t freezing. • Shivering/rigors as a reflex to raise core temperature—muscles contract rapidly to produce heat, leading to shaking/chattering teeth/goosebumps. • A vicious loop where the pain feels worse in cold (amplifying the sensation), and the cold sensation triggers more shivering. 1/8/2026 HAPPY ELVIS DAY......ALSO THE DAY I BEGIN DECORATING FOR NEXT HALLOWEEN! 1/8/26 10:41AM 🚨🚨😂You’re describing a classic self-hack for getting through the fog: **loading up on caffeine + energy powder** until you hit that wired, almost-agitated state where the mental barriers drop, the house gets cleaned, work flows, and you crush tasks. Then you dial back the lights to avoid overload. It’s exhausting just to read, but yeah, it’s kinda hilarious in a dark comedy way—like your brain needs to be revved into overdrive to even idle properly. 💪🤪 What you’re doing is essentially **self-medicating with stimulants** to overcome **executive dysfunction** layered on top of chronic fatigue, pain, and whatever else is dragging you down (gum issues, bleeds—sounds rough). The high caffeine dose pushes dopamine and norepinephrine levels up enough to kickstart motivation, focus, and task initiation that your baseline state won’t allow. It’s like jump-starting a car battery that’s perpetually low. In people with ADHD (or ADHD-like symptoms from chronic illness), stimulants can paradoxically “calm” the chaos and enable productivity instead of just making you jittery. Energy powders amp that further with extras like taurine or B-vitamins. This pattern shows up a lot in: - **ADHD** — where baseline dopamine is low, so you need a big push to get executive functions (planning, starting, sustaining effort) online. Caffeine often helps short-term but crashes hard later. - **Chronic fatigue** (ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, etc.) — where profound exhaustion + brain fog mimics executive dysfunction. Some folks use stimulants (prescribed or DIY) to cut through it, though it risks crashes, worse sleep, or agitation. - **Chronic pain overlap** — pain drains energy and focus; caffeine can blunt perception temporarily while boosting alertness. The “Three Stooges syndrome” reference (from The Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns has so many conflicting diseases they cancel out) fits your vibe perfectly—your body’s throwing a comedy of errors at you, but you’re MacGyvering a workaround to keep functioning. It’s not sustainable long-term (risks adrenal fatigue, tolerance buildup, sleep disruption, heart strain, or worsening pain cycles), but in the moment, it’s effective self-management. If this is working decently without major downsides, props—it’s resourceful. But if the crashes are brutal, agitation turns into anxiety, or you’re chasing higher doses, it might be worth chatting with a doc about: - Checking for underlying ADHD (common in chronic illness crowds) or similar neuro stuff. - Safer stimulant options (like low-dose prescribed ones) if appropriate. - Non-caffeine tweaks: timed light exposure, short movement breaks, or even micro-dosing tasks to build momentum without the chemical sledgehammer. You’re not broken; you’re adapting creatively in a tough setup. Keep owning it, but listen to your body when it says “enough with the Stooges already.” What’s one small non-caffeine trick that’s helped on off days? 😊. 🚨🚨😂 1/9/26 3:45AM from Grok about lights Your setup looks solid—those Mars Hydro EVO Samsung lights (likely an FC-E or similar series with LM301H EVO diodes) are indeed super efficient, running cool and low-wattage while delivering great full-spectrum performance. The plants in the photos appear to be in the **early vegetative stage** (or late seedling/very young veg), with small pots, fresh soil, and compact growth—perfect time to dial in light without overwhelming them. ### Your Measurements Breakdown - **App/Spectrum Analyzer**: Shows ~18,055 lux, ~1,597 FC, CCT around 3,730K (warmish white, good full-spectrum mix with blue scale ~11.6%), and Ee ~11.6 W/m². This aligns with a modern full-spectrum LED grow light. - **Handheld PAR Meter**: Consistently reading **380–383 µmol/m²/s (PPFD)** at canopy level across multiple spots/pots. That’s excellent uniformity for such a small space! For young cannabis plants like yours (seedlings to early veg), the sweet spot is generally **200–400 PPFD** to promote strong, compact growth without stretching or light burn. Many sources recommend: - Seedlings/very early: 100–300 PPFD - Early vegetative: 300–600 PPFD (but start lower and ramp up as they grow) Your current ~380–383 PPFD is right in the **upper end of ideal** for this stage—great for healthy development, but if you notice any tip burn, bleaching, or curling upward (signs of too much light), you can dim a bit more. ### Recommendations to Optimize Since you’re running at 83W then 75W (likely dimmed percentage on the light), and you’re aiming for the lowest effective wattage (to save energy and keep heat minimal—smart goal!): - **Keep it here or dim slightly lower** (e.g., try 60–70% power / ~60–70W if possible) and monitor for 3–5 days. If growth stays vigorous (new nodes every few days, dark green leaves, no stretching), you’re golden. - **Watch plant response** (best “meter” without fancy tools): Healthy = compact, perky leaves pointing up/out. Too much light = leaves taco-ing upward or bleaching tips. Too little = stretching toward the light or pale leaves. - **Hanging height**: If possible, raise the light a few inches (aim for 18–24” from canopy for veg in small tents) to drop PPFD naturally without dimming as much—this keeps efficiency high. - **Daily Light Integral (DLI)**: With 18/6 schedule at ~380 PPFD, you’re getting ~25–28 mol/m²/day—solid for early veg (aim 15–30 mol for this stage). Your little PAR meter is giving reliable readings (consistent across pots), and the app’s lux/CCT data backs it up nicely. If you want even more precision, Photone can be calibrated against your PAR meter for future use (it has a guide in the app). This is a workable, fun setup—those plants look happy already! Let me know how they respond after a few days of tweaking, or if you share the exact model (e.g., FC-E3000?), I can get more specific. Keep crushing it! 🌱 🚨💡🚨 1/9/26 5:37AM Your discrepancy makes total sense—**the iPhone Photone app** (which uses the phone’s camera sensor for RAW data processing) is generally **more reliable and accurate** for full-spectrum modern LEDs like your Mars Hydro EVO Samsung LM301H series than most cheap handheld PAR meters from Amazon (often –0 range). ### Why Photone Is Likely the Better Choice Here - Photone is specifically designed and pre-calibrated for many iPhone models (using the high-quality camera instead of a basic ambient light sensor). Independent tests and user comparisons (including against pro-grade Apogee quantum sensors ~0–0) show it often within **5–10%** (sometimes even 1–2%) for full-spectrum LEDs when used correctly—with a simple diffuser like white paper over the front camera to improve cosine correction and accuracy. - Cheap handheld PAR meters (like many no-name or entry-level ones) frequently have **poor spectral response** to the exact mix of wavelengths in Samsung LM301H EVO diodes (which are full-spectrum with strong white + some red enhancement). They can read **20–50%+ off** (or more in extreme cases) because they’re often tuned better for older HPS/CMH or basic LEDs, not the latest efficient full-spectrum ones. Your ~380–383 PPFD on the handheld vs. much higher lux/FC on the app (translating to higher estimated PPFD) is a classic sign of this—many users report the cheap meter **undereads** modern LEDs. Photone’s developers claim industry-leading accuracy comparable to pro PAR meters for grow lights, and community feedback (from forums like Reddit’s microgrowery, Percys Grow Room, and MIGRO tests) backs this up: it matches manufacturer PPFD charts closely and often outperforms budget hardware when calibrated or using the right light source setting (e.g., “Full Spectrum + Red” or similar for EVO diodes). ### Quick Tips to Maximize Photone Accuracy - **Use the diffuser**: Tape a piece of plain white printer paper (or translucent material) over the front camera—Photone recommends this for best results under bright LEDs. It reduces hot spots and improves cosine response. - **Select the right light source**: In the app, choose a full-spectrum LED option (might need the paid unlock for precision, but it’s cheap and worth it for your setup). - **Measure consistently**: Hold steady at canopy level, average multiple readings, and avoid reflections from tent walls. - **Cross-check if you want**: If your handheld is consistent across spots (good uniformity sign), you could use it as a relative reference and **calibrate Photone** to match it (app has a guide: average the difference and apply a correction factor). But honestly, trust Photone more here—your plants will tell the real story. ### Bottom Line Stick with **Photone’s PPFD estimates** as your primary guide—your current ~380 PPFD (from the handheld) was already in a great spot for early veg, but if Photone is showing higher (based on the lux/FC you shared earlier, which converts roughly higher), you might be able to dim a touch more (e.g., down to 60–70W) while keeping strong growth without risk of burn. Monitor those babies closely: if they’re compact, dark green, and pushing nodes fast, you’re dialed in perfectly. This is why so many growers swear by Photone over budget hardware—it’s smarter tech for the price. Let me know what Photone is reading now (with diffuser and correct setting), or if the plants show any changes after tweaking! You’re on the right track. 🌱🚨💡 1/9 6:41AM Thinking about painting a Swastica on the garage and blaming it on dementia

Day 50. Very annoyed at myself as 2/3 plants needed a strong feed, but the other one didn’t but forgot and fed the strong feed to all 3. As a result the 1 what was already thriving has now foxtailed on the main cola. Such a shame, but lesson learned. That plant will have just a water feed for the next week, and PH run off was also high at 6.8 also contributing to the foxtail I’m guessing so next few feeds will be PH at 6.0. Another 15 - 20 days to go I’m guessing, I will soon be swapping big bud out for overdrive, really make these swell to the finish line. Day 52 25% feed, ph 6.0. Day 54 Plant 1 Just water and calmag, this one will finish first yellowing fast now Plant 2 Best of all 3 plants, 50% nute feed Plant 3 Weakest of all 3 very low dose feed

7/19 I’ve come upon the realize that I had been under watering to an extreme degree. I have since adjusted accordingly today and hope they look better tomorrow. Did remove some leaves and then found out I really shouldn’t have, hopefully I didn’t stunt them.i believe they are now flowering and next watering I will be adding some tiger bloom at very low strength. the newts I’ve given them have shown tip nute burn often and I have been very minimally watering so my conclusion is my soil was so full of nutes I could have waited until now most likely to start my first feedings. I’ve read about this and w ocean forest this seems to be the trend. Still really happy about the progress. Peace

So it seems like she's only grown a tiny amount in height this week but she's bushed out quite a lot. 💪

This week was amazing! I gave green sensation for the first time, and the results are as good as I expected. The buds are incredible, the smell is amazing, everyone looks healthy so far! :) I hope everything will be alright, see you guys next week!

Plant therapy had been amazing. Winter is my hardest time of the year. I actually usually use a supplementary light during the winter to help with my mood and I wonder if being around the LEDs has any similar positive effects. I know the nuturing and process of growing has been a great practice of patience and almost meditative for me. Plants are friends. I believe the plants are well. I have a microscope to keep my eyes on trichomes maturity. I hope they all end around the same time. I would like to chop/dry them together in the tent. Thanks for everyone who has come on this journey with me so far.

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

4/26: I top-dressed their pots with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water each and added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica. I also started them on open sesame. I increased Ph to 6.40 to ensure that they can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving them now. 4/27: I bent over their apical colas and tied them down today, and did a little bit of training on the bigger one to "spread her legs" nice and proper.👍 4/29: Both plants are stretching a little bit, but not nearly as much as I had hoped they would.....James Brown said it best: "Got to get on up!" 5/1: I gave them a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed them with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitches, grow! 5/3: I did a slow-soak feeding today. Backed off the nitrogen a little more, increased silica, and started adding sweet & sticky and signal.
