DAY 53 Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too. DAY 54 FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!! 1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too. So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one). Day 56 Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development. Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫). Hope these 7 make it till the end. PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

Hey there, as the clones are almost ready and I will transplant them in the aeroponic system tomorrow, I allowed myself to get the pH and EC ready and stabilize it over a night. 😏 August, 20th: 23 of the 30 clones made it to the system and are now growing fine. Guess those 7 clones that didn‘t make it were old ones from below the mother plant. SanLights at 40%. ☀️

This week 2 of Veg went really well! Overall I just continued the same nutrient feeding regiment I used last week just without a few due to them being Organic amendments they'll break down into the Soil releasing slowly so I'll amend with them again before Flower. I used Fish Shit or Fish Emulsion at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them both a Liter of the solution. The ppm was 200 and EC of 400. Then, a day of just H2O. Next, I gave them the MaxiGrow at a rate of 1tsp per gal and gave them a L each. The ppm was 710 and EC of 1420. Next, I gave them just H20. Then, I gave them Real Growers Soil Recharge at a rate of 1tsp per gal. The ppm was 105 and EC of 210. Then, I gave them The Stash Blend at a rate of 1tsp per gal, PPM of 705 EC of 1410. Oh I need to mention my H20 is always at a PH of 7.0 and all my Nutrient Solutions are a PH of 6.2. due to my grow medium being Soil. That's all for this week but overall what easy growing, well spacing, evenly looking, and nicely branching plants!!

i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

This week went by quickly. They're doin their Pre-Flower stretch and getting big quickly!! I added my Pre-Flower mix to them this week. My Nutrient Pre-Flower Mix consists of H20, Coconut, Bananas, Pineapple, Sweet Potatoes, Kelp, Alfalfa Meal, All Organic Non-Pasturized Whole Milk, Epsom Salts, Black Strap Molasses, and L.A.B. or Lactic Acid Bacteria. First, I boiled the coconut, pineapple, sweet potatoes, the bananas, and left the skins on as well except the coconut of course! That I had to split in half and make sure to keep the water inside to add to the boil. After boiling everything I then let it cool and then added it to a blender to blend little by little. After blending I left separate and placed into the fridge. Then I took 1 Tbsp of Alfalfa Meal and 2 Tbsp of Kelp, 500mL of the milk, 2 Tbsp of Epsom Salts, and mixed them in a 750 mL bottle. Then I took 1L of the mix and added 2 Tbsp of L.A.B. and 2 Tbsp of Black Strap Molasses and then shook the bottle well! Then I took the 750mL bottle and the 1L bottle and fed that to the plants adding 250 mL of pH H2O to the plant as well to flush the ingredients all into the plant with the H20. I wanted to also note that I choose to slowly defoliate so that the plant doesn't go into shock and also fan leaves collect light in all spectrums so taking too many off at a time could hurt or slow the growth of your plant! The amount of light your plant takes in daily is called DLI or Daily Light Index. Overall, they're really growing and have a ton of bud sites developing! I'm excited to see the growth weekly and their colors!

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 ✨ She's Shining — And Sometimes Beautiful Plants Need a Little Cleaning Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And our Frosted Guava girl? She's still shining. 🌿✨ Actually... She's shining more and more. The flowers are developing beautifully, the plant remains lush and green, and those gorgeous flowering structures are becoming increasingly impressive. But this week wasn't just about watching her grow. This week, she told me something. She needed a little attention. Not because anything was wrong. Not because she was struggling. Simply because she had reached the point where some of the older, tired leaves had done their job and it was time to clean things up. So... we did exactly that. A little defoliation. A little cleaning. A little maintenance. And then? Back to letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. And shine. 💚 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop under the same general environment. The same room. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. The same environmental philosophy. The same nutrition strategy. The same lighting ecosystem. And yet... every plant tells a completely different story. Frosted Guava Pheno A has been writing hers beautifully. She's not necessarily the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to compete with every phenotype around her. She simply has her own personality. And right now, that personality is becoming very easy to recognize: lush, green, balanced, beautiful, and increasingly frosty. ✂️ This Week: Time for a Cleanup Last week I was looking at her thinking: "She's looking really good." This week I was looking at her thinking: "Okay girl... I think you need a little haircut." 😂 There were older leaves. Leaves that had started to fade. Leaves that were no longer contributing much to the plant. And there were a few areas where the canopy simply benefited from a little more organization. So we went in and cleaned her up. Nothing extreme. Nothing crazy. No stripping the plant bare. Just a sensible removal of the leaves that had reached the end of their useful life and a little bit of canopy maintenance. Because there's an important difference between defoliating a plant because you think you should... and cleaning a plant because you've actually looked at the plant and decided it needs it. This week was the second one. 🍃 We Don't Need to Take Everything One thing I always want to make clear when I talk about defoliation: The goal isn't to remove every leaf. Far from it. Healthy leaves are still part of the plant's machinery. They're capturing light. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. So even after the cleanup, plenty of healthy foliage remains. I took what needed to come out. I left what still had a job to do. And that's the balance I'm looking for. You don't need to make a plant look naked to call it clean. You need to make the plant appropriate for the environment it's growing in. And Frosted Guava now looks exactly where I want her. Clean enough. Open enough. But still beautifully green and full of life. The Job Isn't Finished When the Leaves Come Off And here's something that I think deserves much more attention in grow diaries: What happens after defoliation? Because removing old leaves from the plant is only part of the job. If those leaves fall onto the floor... they don't magically disappear. 😂 They stay there. They dry. They break down. They can accumulate underneath plants, around pots, in corners and in places where we don't necessarily notice them immediately. And that's not what I want inside my growing environment. So after cleaning the plant... we clean the room. Old leaves come out. Plant debris comes out. The floor gets cleaned. The areas underneath the canopy get checked. Anything that shouldn't be there... gets removed. Because maintaining a clean growing environment isn't about making the room look pretty for photographs. It's about good hygiene. It's about reducing unnecessary organic debris. It's about making the environment less welcoming to unwanted problems. And when you're running a full room like this... cleanliness matters. 🌿 A Clean Plant in a Clean Environment This is something I've learned more and more throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The plants are only one part of the ecosystem. The room itself matters. The floor matters. The pots matter. The airflow matters. The surfaces matter. The little pieces of dead plant material hiding underneath the canopy matter. Everything contributes to the environment. So when we clean a plant, we're not finished when the scissors stop moving. We clean the whole area. And then we can close the tent and say: "Okay. Now we're ready for another week." That's exactly what we did with Frosted Guava. 🌸 And She's Looking Beautiful And after all that maintenance... the best part? Look at her. She's beautiful. The green is still gorgeous. The flower structures are developing beautifully. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still standing proudly throughout the flowers. And the resin development continues becoming increasingly visible. This is one of those plants where I genuinely enjoy looking at the photographs because there's so much going on. From a distance, you see the overall structure. Move closer... and suddenly you're looking at individual flowers. Move closer again... and the calyxes and pistils become their own little world. That's what makes this stage so fascinating. The plant is still changing. Every week. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Living Up to Her Name And yes... the frost continues. It's becoming increasingly easy to understand where the name Frosted Guava comes from. The flowers are developing that increasingly sparkling appearance, with resin becoming more obvious across the developing structures. We're still not at the finish line. Not even close to making any final judgments. But she's certainly giving us a beautiful preview. And those white pistils? I love them. They're still fresh and prominent throughout the flowers, giving the plant that wonderful contrast between deep green foliage and bright flowering sites. It's one of those combinations that never gets old. ☀️ Still Eating Photons The lighting strategy remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora continues contributing additional light into the lower portions of the canopy. And Frosted Guava is still doing what plants do best: turning photons into plant. Leaves capture light. The plant uses that energy. Structure develops. Flowers develop. And eventually we get to see the result of all of that work. At around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, there is plenty of light available above. The under-canopy lighting adds another interesting dimension to the experiment, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full. And Frosted Guava has plenty of flowering sites to keep us interested. 💧 Feeding Continues The nutrition program remains consistent. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters remain around: pH: 6.0 EC: ~2.0 mS/cm Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Solution temperature: 25°C Substrate temperature: 26°C And visually, she continues responding beautifully. There are no dramatic changes required. No reason to reinvent the program. She's growing. She's flowering. She's building. So we're continuing to let consistency do its job. 🌡️ Week 9 Environment Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Stable. Consistent. Predictable. Exactly what I want while the plants continue doing their thing. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell two stories. The first is the plant itself. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful leaves. Beautiful structure. Beautiful colour. Beautiful development. The second story is what happened around the plant. The cleanup. The older leaves coming out. The canopy becoming a little more organized. And then the room being cleaned afterward. I think that's worth documenting too. Because growing isn't just about taking the beautiful photographs when everything looks perfect. It's also about the work that happens behind those photographs. The cleaning. The observation. The maintenance. The little decisions. The things nobody sees when they look at the final picture. That's part of the 8×8 Adventure too. Clean Room, Happy Room There is something extremely satisfying about finishing a cleanup and looking around the tent. No old leaves lying around. No unnecessary plant debris. The floor is clean. The canopy is tidy. The plants have room to breathe. And then you step back... and look at the whole 8×8. That's when you realize how far this project has come. What started as individual plants has become one enormous flowering garden. Every phenotype different. Every plant with its own personality. And Frosted Guava has found her place right in the middle of it. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now? We let her work. The cleanup is done. The room is clean. The healthy foliage remains. The flowers continue developing. And Frosted Guava can simply concentrate on the next stage of her journey. I'm especially curious to see how much more those beautiful flowers will develop from here. The calyxes. The pistils. The resin. The density. The final structure. There is still plenty of story left to write. And I have no intention of writing the ending before she does. 💚 Final Thoughts — She's Shining Frosted Guava Pheno A is becoming one of those plants that doesn't need an introduction anymore. You look at her... and you know why she's here. She's beautiful. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's green. She's flowering beautifully. And she's getting increasingly frosty. This week she needed a little attention. So we gave it to her. We removed the older leaves that needed to go. We kept the healthy ones. We cleaned the canopy. And then we cleaned the room. Because good cultivation isn't only about what happens on the plant. It's also about what happens around the plant. Old leaves don't belong on the floor. Dead plant material doesn't belong underneath the canopy. And unnecessary debris certainly doesn't belong inside the growing environment. So we clean. We remove. We reset. And then... we let the plants shine again. And Frosted Guava? She's doing exactly that. She's shining. ✨🌿❄️ The green is beautiful. The flowers are beautiful. The calyxes are beautiful. The white pistils are beautiful. The frost is coming. And the whole plant is telling me the same thing: "I'm not finished yet." Good. Because neither am I. Let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for these Frosted Guava genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving this garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following, commenting, sharing knowledge and growing alongside me. This adventure isn't just about the final flowers. It's about everything that happens along the way. The experiments. The phenotype differences. The successes. The mistakes. The maintenance. The cleaning. The photographs. And all those little lessons that appear when you stop and actually pay attention. Frosted Guava Pheno A is giving me another one this week. Sometimes you don't need to change the plant. Sometimes you just need to clean the plant, clean the room, step back... and admire what you've built. And damn... she's beautiful. 💚🌿❄️ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

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. 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? 😊. 🚨🚨😂

Aug 17: great plant. Hit 30 C today, and there was a two minute hail storm late in the day. It sounded very impressive on the roof, but I had moved the pot plants up against the house and they were fine. The rest of the garden took a mild beating. Aug 18: rained all day. Aug 20: sunny yesterday and most of today. Watered with some Kekp extract in the evening. Flowering is progressing and we’re still in mid August so things are looking good. Aug 22: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Aug 23: looking good for the end of another diary week. This Gorilla Cookies is definitely the fastest flowering of the four plants I’m growing this year.

Vale pues hoy empiezo a contar la primera semana de crecimiento, de un total de 4. Estamos a 13/02/23 y llevan 20 días desde la germinación. Hoy he regado ya con abono de crecimiento, en concreto uso el Boom Crecimiento de Boom nutrients y he añadido también CalMag Dentro de dos semanas haremos el trasplante, a ver si aguantan por que a este ritmo se van a salir de las macetas en 1 semana jaja. Os dejo un video también de una visión aérea con mi dron. Hola. Actualización de semana 19/02/23 Efectivamente como dije hace 7 días. Toca trasplante, han crecido muchísimo y es momento de que las raíces sigan creciendo con fuerza así que... trasplante. Entre el día 19/02/23 y el día 20/02/23 termino todo el trasplante, por ahora dejo terminadas 5 de 12 plantas. Especialmente he priorizado las autos ya que no me quiero esperar a trasplantar para que no entren en flora. Por ahora siguen vegetando y trasplantas! ESO ES!

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Made the call to chop this plant as it was only going to make nanners if I left it to long. Overall a giant disappointment, the Fast Flower FF was an Autoflower AF, Its put me off fast flowers and really whats one week when you grow indoors for an early harvest. Not something that's in my list of things I need. The smell of the plant is nice, basic weed scents, nice and sticky and full of crystals. Will see what happens in cure once it finishes drying. It made a weird nub of plant at the base of its stalk. have not seen that before, IDK what it was/means. Will provide more details in smoke report week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Now we've reached day 34. We are now in flowering, we are guiltily carrying with us a bit of vegetative over fertilization but we are sure that we have worked well and that the flowers will not be compromised. The good news is that the plants are exceptionally vigorous and practically do not need fertilizer in the vegetative phase, and it seems to me to be excellent quality. We wait to see the flowers and you will see... Our Wurlz F1 per mea culpa mea culèa mea grandissima culpa shows some signs of overfeeding, the famous yellow tips of the leaves. Let's be clear, this is minor and is due to the fact that these genetics are so good that they need very little or no fertilizer in the vegetative phase. Then if you already have fertilized soil, forget about growing guys, another pro! I gave the recommended doses even a little less to tell the truth of both Aptus and Plagron and the plants more or less all have these small signs of over. LITTLE guys, wait until the end to save if you feel like it, or at least I recommend it. To fix this little thing we go to flush with pH 6.2 and only give Aptus Regulator which should rebalance the plant and soil before delicately moving on to fertilizers for flowering.

GROWING WURLZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC As an autoflowering strain, it takes just 9–10 weeks for Wurlz F1 Automatic to move from germination to harvest. Fortunately, there's very little required other than a bit of maintenance along the way. This is partly due to the F1 genetics that make this strain robust and uniform, resulting in plants that reach a similar height and provide a similar (large) yield. Moreover, Wurlz F1 Automatic is highly resistant to disease, pests, and other ailments. Reaching heights of about 65–80cm, Wurlz F1 Automatic is not an overbearing plant and can fit into smaller spaces with zero fuss. Once ready to yield, growers have the potential to see a return in the region of 450–500g/m² indoors and 50–150g/plant outdoors.

AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF WURLZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC After Wurlz F1 Hybrid Automatic wows you with its easygoing growing experience, the best is yet to come: the smoke test. Teeming with terpenes, this cultivar offers a fruity and candy-like flavor tinged with just a little bit of pine for good measure. In terms of effects, Wurlz F1 Automatic is bolstered by 24% THC and a finely tuned array of cannabinoids, making for a soothing, physically relaxing, and, in larger amounts, couch-locking high. So settle in with some of your favorite friends, snacks, and movies; this is relaxation at its finest. As for fertilizers, I'm doing a small comparison experiment to finish off the fertilizers I had at home, it's not 100% indicative, it's only on two specimens but given the stable genetics I decided to try to compare the results of Plagron Vs Aptus , both excellent brands which they will certainly produce beautiful plants which are already of excellent stable genetics. In the next few weeks the comparison will be more evident now the seedlings are still very small and just potted. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io
