Started trimming a few leaves blocking bud sites and continued to tie down tallest growth. I’ve never used LST to this extent, but I’m a disciple now. Tremendous shape creating space for new growth still. At this point, I learned about the importance of dark hours for bud growth. In case it helps someone: flower growth and later, thc, is boosted and triggered by dark time. During veg for an auto, go full blast with lights. But those flowers boost at night to protect themselves from harsh UV daylight. Swear to God, after months of reading journals and articles, I didn’t realize that until recently.

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.

Day 65. Boy oh boy how i am happy, that i don't give a f@ck about this harvest ... I have golden rule - don't grow inside during summer ! And thats why ... Last days temps was reaching 34-36 inside !!! Humidity everywhere and heat stress pushed nitrogen excess even further, some top buds will be all in foxtails with slim shitty , leafy buds around ... Was terrible heat wave and i couldn't hold it, some strains took it way easier, but that one with unlove to N - is a sad picture .... So now i don't know what to do, feed them or not .... Its like Hamlets grow, constant to be or not to be questions around ... P.S. have to admit, that i was stupid enough and gave them lite worm castings tea, 180 ppm only, but i guess it had loads of N inside, my normal outdoor plants loved it, so i thought it should be good for my girls aswell ... WRONG ;))) Now i have like 8 overdosed with N plants, which are bigger than average and i have the rest, which would love more food, cal mag especially, and proper PK boost ... Totally lost, how stupid is to put random strains in one pot, very very very stupid ... More stupid is to play with sick plants , they where almost recovered from N toxicity .. Me and my desire to do it a bit better ... ;)))) Update 2 : i found what is wrong, those plants looked like reveging more, than heat and N excess , and .... when i was lifting lights up, one of wires touched timer,in the middle of night - 15 min of day .... Idiot .... Had a feeling to check, but weed laziness whispered me - everything is Ok ;)))))))) Update 3. Got so pissed from my careless, that bought Bluelab Combo, now i will know whats in my soil and i would check lights earlier if i knew that ( hopefully ;)) ) soil is underfed ;))) 200 pounds down ... and pitty harvest waiting ;(((( At least next one will be with full guns ! Sweet seeds strains, new ventilation system (nearest future upgrade) and now - full control over soil. New pot drain trays bought aswell ... Grower still the same tho .... ;))))))))) Day 67. First hermie found. This plant was tallest, so i had to supercrop it, maybe its was too many things just for this plant, anyway "Watchout" series 24/7 ... Lights changed to 11.5 day - 12.5 night. Craziest run ever .... Day 70. BlueLab Combo Plus arrived. Ph 6.2-6.4 - perfect, but no food tho. So today full feed watering, ph 6.5, ppm 800. This freakshow makes my heading, yesterday my holiday destination quarantined my country, so holidays are gone, could start new run now even and put them all to hash. Next week will show - if they recover , ill finish them, still issues - bubble hash time !!! ;))) Happy growing !!!

I have been using LST in the form of a fan on medium speed to try and strengthen the main stalk of the plant as well as planter rotation to strengthen the main stalk for tie down LST. So far I've been impressed with the rate of growth and the overall experiment. For what it's worth, the growth wth is very very similar to a hydroponics growth. I'm sure as the experiment continues I'll notice some big differences. It does appear to have either a minor potassium deficiency or a little too much nitrogen. Will monitor and update as needed. The above signs may have been trying to indicate the main stalk was weakening from too much weight from vertical grow rate. This would ultimately lead to a fractured stalk. Is this what happened or is it a fungus or disease problem? Plant C sprouted within 48hrs and will be 6 days behind Plant A. End goal of harvest is still 360g from the two plants combined. Both plants are looking very happy regardless of the toxicity or deficiency. Strong strain nonetheless.

Week 4 for AK Triple Haze Auto by SSSC, This strain has doubled in size since last week, but unfortunately as you can see she's already in full preflower mode😒 meaning she wont be a massive plant, was really hoping she would give 6weeks of veg time not 3....😂 But in saying that i still love her structure & really look forward to seeing how she comes out in flower😍 I will be moving her outdoors today as well as we have a few cloudy days coming up that should help her have a smooth transition to the outdoor sun 💪. Will also start doing some LST on her now that she will have wayyy more room to go side ways. Shes still only being fed water only because of her @naturelivingsoiluk mix😇

I dropped these in a glass of water and let sit until they sank, then transfered to paper towel. I placed the paper towel in a ziplock bad but did not zip it. That was the afternoon of the 9th of June. I'm planting today the 11th June directly into 30 gallon pots. The taps are slightly longer than the seed, but we've got overcast rainy/misty weather forecast all day. That should give them moisture to keep them alive until roots establish. I've added the nutes to this week. These nutrients are all dry fertilizer that are premixed into the soil and numbers are ml of fertilizer per gallon of soil/perlite.

10 weeks total for the first phenos and a bit more than 11 for the last one! I could have easily gotten double the projected yield on these had I not neglected them but whatever I pulled is rock hard, dusted in sugar and smells absolutely stupendous! You did it again FastBuds!
