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.

11/1 In the water - bottled 6.0 - under the eye of the vicious Woodstock on the heated seedling mat. 2 Green Crack going into 5 gallons of washed and buffered coco 60% and perlite 40% using cocotek A and B nuets No nuets of course 11/2 On the paper towel, all look cracked on quick inspection 11/3 Cracked no tails ... at all... getting nervous... hate this part 11/4 Still no tails, the two Fastberry have already sprouted and been planted. Nervous again lol 11/5 Still no tails, going to drop two more later though Ive no confidence in them at this point. update: Holding off dropping two more, getting some activity (not breathing easy yet) from the first two. Seems my last ditch effort of a 3% peroxide solution soaking the seeds MAY be working. Wait one more night 11/7 Planted to very very sad germs out of habit more than hope on em. H2O2 works just wasnt much more to be done on em. Dropped two more into the water from the second pack of seeds, maybe it matters. 11/9 Tails on both, planted in coco. Looks like that first set of seeds is ... questionable :) 11/12 Finally some green! One is up nothing from the others yet. At least I have a grow now :D 11/13 One is up fairly strong the other is up but not looking as well may be a problem here just watching and waiting. Calling this Day 1 , will name later if things go well 11/14 New pics, both up looks like I have a grow Ladies of SciFi... Meet Ripley and Tara Going to carefully poke around in those first two pots that didnt sprout. See If I can learn anything. Need to figure out how to prevent that kind of thing. 11/15 New Pic. They growing well now. Found on the two other pots the seeds never did anything after planting which is what I expected to be honest. Afraid that seed pack is a no-go Feeding mix - 2 cups at 5.9 of each, .6ml CocoTek A & B, Fish Sh!T to runoff until transplant 11/16 New Pic and Vid The GC is playing a game of catch-up with the Fastberry Feeding every day now will go to twice daily when large enough. 11/19 Day 6 Really liking the coco coir. two feedings a day at 5ml cocotek A&B and 4 ml Fish Sh!t / gal at 6.0 Meter got in - TDS of the above feed is 575 with tap water being 210 giving a nuet level of 365 well within seedling and early veg limits, so plenty of room down the road. Will be working it up as I feel right 11/20 End of week 1 ... heh finally :) Put a lot of thought and study into this and adjusted the feeding. This in response to some slight lightening at the leaf tips suggesting nuets too high. Water TDS 220 ( gonna have to get a filter soon) so subtracting that I have the solution at 230 ppm (@2.5ml/gal cocotek AB with 2ml Fishsh!t which has little impact on TDS ) PH to 6.1. 450 ppm without adjustment which was my real target here. Fertigating twice daily to 5% runoff, transplanting when roots start poking out. Gentlest way I can think of to try and catch these babies up a little.

Day 28 [f6] last day before 11 days holiday water on the lower side to prevent lockout while i'm gone, 16 L should last for the whole period pray with me

it grows nicely should start with lst training In the days to come

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Pressed the 45-90u first at 75°C and a 2nd time at 80°C. First press was 5,65g and 2nd press was 0,5 which i dabbed right away and had some very nice candy fumez terps. Makes it a ~1,2% return on the lower quality, i am hoping for ~4g on the 90-160u which will be my premium quality. Pressed the 90-160u first at 75°C and a 2nd time at 80°C. First press was 4g like i hoped for and 2nd press was only 0,2 which i dabbed right away and had really nice high. Makes premium quality return ~0,8% from fresh frozen, which makes the tmg#1 return roughly 2% in total. Terps on the 90-160u are more subtle for now, but maybe that means i dont lose all the terps curing. Keeping it in the fridge and will only whip when it butters up.

Week 8 flower and the Sour Diesel is still fattening up and looks like about 2 weeks to go. Going to swell good I think. Lots of frost and getting thick. Turned the lights down now to 50% and they seem to be happy with that. Still just water through the drip and hand water once a week. Gnats suck and need to take care of them before next grow and do a better job moving forward. These TSW 2000’s from Mars Hydro are awesome and with two of them side by side are more than enough for this space. Blimburn Sour Diesel are turning out really good and smell like gas and are strong on the nose! Thanks for the view

Boom boom booom explosive growth this girl is dominant and strong I haven’t been feeding her a lot of bites and she is doing amazing flipping to flower in couple she looks a heavy yielder can’t wait to see

Environment: Grow space: 140 × 70 cm tent Temperature: ~25 °C Humidity: ~60 % RH Light cycle: 18/6 Light intensity: ~350 PPFD IR light active 20 minutes before lights on and running alongside the main light. 🌞 Medium / Pot Size: Transplanted early in the week into a 20 L final pot.

Guten Tag zusammen, Wir sind in Woche 4 der Blütephase angekommen. Bisher läuft es ganz gut. Die Blütenbildung ist voll im gange und so sollte es auch sein, denn nach dem Entlauben letzter Woche galt ihre ganze Konzentration nämlich darauf. Makro und Mikronährstoffe sind sehr gefragt. Wir versuchen einmal am Tag, ca.1 Liter Nährstofflösung in den Topf zu geben. Aber es gibt auch Tage bzw. eher Wochenenden, wo sie mal etwas auf Diät sind da wir nicht Vorort sind xD Bisher haben wir dort aber trotz allem, zusammen eine super gute Chemie entwickelt. Ansonsten zur re vege, die obigen Blätter sind schon dreiblattfinger. Jüngere Blätter beginnen sich zu Rollen was ein gutes Zeichen ist. Farblich gesehen und gesundheitlich passt es bei ihr aber auch. Dennoch haben wir den Haupttrieb getoppt, da es zu viel Masse für das kleine 60x 60x 120 cm Zelt gab. Somit auch nochmal ein wenig Schimmel gefahr vermieden. Ja ansonsten wünschen wir allen Growmies eine mega und erfolgreiche Woche! Genießt das des letztigen warmen Wetters und vielen Dank fürs vorbeischauen! VG 😎✌️

I'm a bit deceive by the quantity, But it's a bit my bad, I didn't make the most of the size of my box, it was my first time for indoor photoperiod So next time I won't fill the box anymore. I usually grow 2 auto in 60x60x140, and I'm a little fair in place, I manage to get an average of 50g/plant I could have easily put 4 plants, I would know for next time. Otherwise the buds are well compact, super smell and a lot of pollen 😛 😛 .

Tag 10 der Blüte Dass ich nochmal leicht entlaubt habe sieht man gar nicht. Ich wollte eigentlich keine weiteren Blätter entfernen bis Tag 21 ..aber es ist einfach zu viel, ..immer noch,...seht selbst 😆

The stretch came in with a bang. Gonna have to stay up on my training. Ladies look lovely no complaints as of yet. Smell pickn up quickly. I think the new amendments and bigger pots are payin off. Cant wait.

She is stretching, and budding up alright! She also took nicely to the scrog. Let's see how long i will keep it this time before getting annoyed by the reduced handling capabilities 😬 Waterin still 6L at 6PH, reducing grow and introducing bloom, currentl 3ml/L grow 2ml/L bloom, next watering will be 3 Bloom 2 grow, 4-1, to 5-0. This has worked nicely with the Whiteberry so i will keep this up. Before whiteberry i always hard-switched, but this seems fine as well.

Week 6 hear we go looking Amazing!!

Set up Scrog in the start of the week. Foliar fed with CalMag + Iron 3 times this week. Defoliated lower shoots and fan leaves mid week. Raised ph in reservoir to 6.1 because the runoff was coming out at 5.2 ph. Now the runoff is at a steady 5.6 ph.

💩Holy Crap Growmies We Are Back💩 Entire grow has been stunted by the soil/medium Code Name FBT2309 Well growmies we are at 63 days in and everything is going as good as possible 👌 👉 Well folks shes been a busy girl , making a ton of bud , just hope she chunks up 👌 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍Even with early major issues due to the soil/medium she's come a long way 👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

Didn’t post some of the final weeks but this is the end. It was a tough grow - I don’t love 100% coco in the autopots and will be doing a 70/30 mix moving forward. Got a pound of great smoke from this one. Hadn’t gotten a pound off a plant before so it was nice to get this yield

Sky Walker ~~~~~INDOOR~~~~~ DAY 148 Above Dirt 💬SATURDAY 01.20.24 - The girls are starting to hum again after last week's harsh defoliation, today will be using Real Growers Recharge for their weekly Tea Feeding, will be top dressing again next week, and this may carry the girls until the end of thier grow cycle. 💬 MONDAY 01.22.24 - 6 solid weeks into flower and these ladies are starting to fatten up their buds, they are already becoming hard as rocks, I don't think they liked the heavy defoliation I put them through and may have to be content with smaller flowers, or, maybe not, we will see.
