1/11 - debating Scrog or no Scrog. I think it will be more trouble than just training with the rubber wire 1/12 - can't keep my hands off, but exercised moderation. I restrained 2 of the shoots off of the biggest top, im letting the others grow out so I can get a better grip.

Week 4 flower 4x4 #1 | Scat Queen, Oreoz, Cookies and cream , Week 1 flower 4x4 #2 | Scat Queen & GYAT

Not much to do with Autos. I take a handful of leaves everytime I'm in the tent. Veg thru 2-3 weeks of flower.

6/6/2023 Week 9- Day 1 of Flower (Day 124 overall) (Day 63 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 3.. Just watched them be beautiful. I also did a Trichome check today things are moving along nicely. 6/7/2023 Week 9- Day 2 of Flower (Day 125 overall) I admit it I couldn't help it there were some blatant offender leaves blocking the light from some of the canopy buds so they had to go..... and when I took them I found a few more in between leaves that had to go.. so long story short some defoliation did happen.. :-) 6/8/2023 Week 9- Day 3 of Flower (Day 126 overall) Auto pilot re-engaged.. I sat back took some photos and just enjoyed how beautiful this light side and dark side thing the plants are doing The buds are almost as long as my Sharpie. I also applied the last application of my Hermie spray to the clone I took in Apr to reverse it. 6/9/2023 Week 9- Day 4 of Flower (Day 127 overall) Auto Pilot Day 2... :-) It was check in day today for the grow off. Last check in for the competition. Trichomes are looking great.. did another check today will keep an eye on it just incase I need to cut earlier than planned. Tomorrow Water change day! 6/10/2023 Week 9- Day 5 of Flower (Day 128 overall) Auto pilot for the Ladies' but Water Change Day! I added 36 gallons Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil FLoraBloom= 4.3Mil/Gal= 155Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 71.2 Tent Temp= 76 6/11/2023 Week 9- Day 6 of Flower (Day 129 overall) Auto Pilot Day 4... I just enjoyed the nice smell coming from the tent today, and the contrast between light and dark side buds that they did. 6/12/2023 Week 9- Day 7 of Flower (Day 130 overall) Auto Pilot Day 5. These ladies are looking amazing, the fade is coming in nice purple on plant #3 and really nice yellow on #2.

24hr in freezer before starting to batch, about 50 gram total rosin yield from this 1 plant. Cheers everyone been a great time growing just a single plant!

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.

I probably missed a week of pics but when your ladies explode like this there’s a lot of work to be done!

Had a great week, everything Is looking super frosty and it smells amazing. Easy grow.

She’s onto flower. Showing Pistols 48 hours after the flip to an 11 on 13 off light schedule. She is doing great and is the biggest of the three in the tent. As she’s a true Sativa I added the first layer of trellis netting in anticipation of her stretch. 8-9 weeks of flower ahead for this girl.

Underfed these girls a bit and they had a late defoliation but they seem to have done okay

This week has been great ,today is day 78 and the girls are just doin their thang , 1 looks ready for flush already and the rest look about another longer then flush for them aswell,, can’t wait to see how these girls finish out over the next couple of weeks 😍!! Y’all keep them eyes peeled an stay tuned for next week! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers.💨💨💨

Estamos en la última etapa del cultivo. Eliminamos la dieta de fertilizantes y regamos con Canna Flush, para lavar las raíces. Bajamos la potencia lumínica al 50%.

Hello everyone, 🇬🇷 so,the first week passed,I have 3 seedlings which are very small but growing slowly and steadily...I expected more growth but I can't do anything so I just wait... WEEK 2: "ENGINES STARTED..." ☠️Day 7...the second set of leaves has popped out...The contest didn't start well for me with such slow growth...but what can i say... I like it,its part of the journey... ☠️Day 10...my little ones are growing still very slowly...I can see their third set of true leaves...had to go down on water because they showed some signs of overwatering...I water every 3 days now...just misting the soil ☠️Day 12...💧I watered with GHF Enhancer, 1 g/L...it's got a lot of goodies in there...the only thing I had to do is drop the ph of the water to 5,cause the Enhancer has a pretty high ph of 9,3... ☠️Day 13...they are growing their 3rd and 4th set of leaves...I top fed them with GHF BioGrow and I have placed them under a 50W Led... ☠️Day 14...my babies are doing just fine,no signs of a negative reaction to something...some of the new growth is a bit strange in shape,but it will be fixed in time...the week is over,the engines are on and here we go...see u next week and thanx for watching

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Next week make batter fotos . 😌

Endlich wieder Aktuell Growmies!!!! 💚💚💚 2 Monate aka 8 Wochen permanent Outdoor Zombie Kush 🧟‍♂️💜(Purpel Pheno) von den Krumme-Gurken als Test Steckling bekommen am 25.4 mit ca.2 Wochen. Durch die Beschäftigung mit Erde,Bodenleben,Pilze und Mikroorganismen führte zu der Frage kann ich eine nach schema mineralisch gedüngte Pflanze umstellen auf organischen Dünger samt Bodenleben das den Dünger auch verfügbar machen kann?! Da der COMPO BIO NATURDÜNGER MIT GUANO NPK Werte 7+4+5 plus Magnesium und Calcium besitzt und man laut Verpackung damit das Bodenleben verbessert und Mikroorganismen fördert so wie Wochen lange stabile Versorgung für die Pflanze weshalb ich nur 2 EL Guano am Rand verteilt habe da in ca 3-4 Wochen die Blüte anfängt und sie in den ersten 2 Wochen nicht direkt Blüte Dünger brauchen. Ich bräuchte ein Blüte Guano Dünger oder sowas ähnliches(bitte Vorschläge)ansonsten würde ich sie ab der Blüte wieder mineralisch Düngen. Da mein Leitungswasser laut Werten zu wenig Calcium hat was ich auch schon festgestellt habe habe ich mir Canna Mono Calcium und Algenkalk gekauft. Aber ich würde sagen die Pflanze ist Top fit und Das nur mit Wasser. Habe mir aber zum testen das BioCanna 3 Pflanzen Set mit Vega,Flores und Bio Rhizotonic geholt das ich eine organische Option habe und Vergleich. ^^ Kurze persönliche Anmerkung als ADHD/Schmerzpatient mit Opiat und Methylphenidat: So gerne ich GD benutze oder auch Social Media um ein Teil der Community zu sein. Ist es wenn man nur 1 Daumen und Hand benutzen kann um zu schreiben und Fotos machen extrem anstrengend so dass es Spaß macht da es mich fordert motorisch mit Händen zu arbeiten. Durch Morbus Sudeck im linken Daumen bis Zeige Finger Bereich alles versteift und unbeweglich die zerstörten nerven einer vorherigen Kapaltunnel-Op tut ihr übrigens in Kombination mit ADHS führt es zu Reiz Überflutung wo mich meine Pflanzen am besten wieder Erden und ohne Rauchen runter holen. Oder ich das Medikament Pregabalin unter Ärztlicher Aufsicht absetzen und mit Cannabis aus eigenem Anbau und Depot Spritze wieder Lebensqualität habe! Der Unfall,OP, 9 Wochen Intensiv Station sind 3 Jahre her und fast 1 Jahr hier auf GROWDIARIES was die beste eigen Therapie ist für mich besonders dank der Menschen und die gemeinsame Leidenschaft hier auf Growdiaries!
