Day 42 doing good still tips burn not much only little and bottom leaves turning yellow and dropping off but she has enough leaves , think she’s gonna be ready about day 65 , I reckon she has been a quick grower , still drinking 2litres , buds arnt biggest propaly because of only using 100w ts, should of used my 300w , smells beautiful and some dence nugs are forming , I normally use big bud as a booster but trying out bio buzz.

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Week Eleven Week Five of Flower and everything goes nicely, buds are getting bigger. Check the video to see all plants. Stretch is done. fighting fungus nats. Watering with tapwater only with no ph testing. I did a sort of Recharche with the colonize and some liquid feeding 5-2-5 in low dosage. I think we are close to the infamous answer „two weeks“ to the question „are they ready harvest?“ We will wait till they are ready. Thx for checking my grow

1/12 4:14AM MONDAY!!!!!!!! CBG IS GOOD!1 LOWERD THE WATTAGE, EFFICIENCY IS GOOD. GREAT WHITE MYCO HAS INCREASED UPTAKE AND AND!!!! PHOTOSYNTHESIS EFFICIENCY ......FUCKING AWESOME 💪💪💪💪 1/12 4:47AM I asked GROK: are samsung leds on my mars hydro lights seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says, I lowered the lights again by a few watts? Yes, the **Samsung LM301H EVO diodes** in your Mars Hydro lights (likely an FC-E series like FC-E3000, FC-E4000, or similar) are among the most efficient horticultural LEDs available right now—individual diodes hit **3.14 μmol/J** efficacy, pushing the whole fixture to around **2.85–2.9 μmol/J** PPE (photosynthetic photon efficacy) in manufacturer specs and independent tests. That's top-tier for full-spectrum grow lights, meaning they convert more electrical power into usable plant photons than older diodes or cheaper LEDs. If they "seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says" (your plants thriving at lower wattage/height adjustments), that's actually common and not a contradiction—it's often the **real-world efficiency** shining through once nutes/stress are fixed. Here's why this happens and what your recent wattage drop (a few more watts lower) likely means: ### Why Samsung LM301H EVO Can "Seem" More Efficient Than Raw PPFD Readings Suggest - **High PPE + Uniform Distribution**: These diodes excel at producing photons in the PAR range (400–700nm) with minimal waste (heat/loss). Mars Hydro FC-EVOs achieve strong average PPFD (e.g., 750–1000+ μmol/m²/s in tests at recommended heights/power) with even spread—no hot spots wasting energy. When your nutes were suboptimal (Advanced Nutrients issues), plants couldn't fully use the light (wasted photons → stress, stretch, lower efficiency). Now dialed in (GH powder + aminos + mycos), they convert more of that PPFD into growth—making the light "feel" stronger/more efficient even if meter numbers stay the same or drop slightly. - **Meter Limitations & Calibration**: - Handheld PAR meters (especially cheap/older ones) can under-read full-spectrum LEDs like LM301H EVO (strong white + red enhancement). They often have poor spectral response to the exact mix, reading 10–30% low compared to pro tools (Apogee SQ-500) or calibrated apps. - If you're using an app like Photone (mentioned in your diary), it's generally more accurate for Samsung full-spectrum lights (especially on iPhone; Android varies but often close with diffuser/paper). Many growers report Photone matching or exceeding cheap handhelds on LM301H setups—sometimes showing higher effective PPFD than a basic meter implies. - Bottom line: Your plants are the ultimate meter. Thriving (miraculous growth, no burn/stress) at lower wattage means the effective usable PPFD is higher than a potentially under-reading meter suggests—efficiency win. ### Your Wattage Drop & What It Means Lowering by a few more watts (on top of the earlier ~10% drop) is smart and aligns with the efficiency gains: - Dimming on Mars Hydro FC series is **very linear**—tests show PPFD percentage tracks close to (or slightly above) the dimmer % because diodes run more efficiently at lower currents (less heat/loss). - Example: Dropping from 100% to 90% might only reduce PPFD by ~8–10%, not full 10%, due to that efficiency curve. - Your plants handling it (still "miraculously better") without stretch or pale leaves confirms the sweet spot: likely 450–650 μmol/m²/s veg/late veg range now, with room to push if pistils emerge. - Solar bonus: Every watt saved = less battery drain on cloudy days, cooler tent (less fan/AC draw), and more headroom for extra plants without spiking consumption. **Practical next steps**: - Recheck PPFD (if using Photone/handheld): Average multiple canopy spots at current height/power—aim 450–600 for late veg autos, 600–800 early flower. - Watch response: If nodes stay tight/dark green/no cupping, you can drop another 5% or lower height slightly for denser canopy. - Log kWh if your inverter shows it—track the drop to celebrate the savings. - If meter still "under-says" vs. plant performance, trust the plants more—Samsung EVOs are proven beasts when the rest of the grow is dialed. This is textbook optimization: nute fix → better photon use → lower power for same/better results → solar efficiency skyrockets. You're building a truly lean system. How low are you at now (e.g., 70–75W total?)? Any pistils or new growth explosions today? Keep the momentum—it's paying off big. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/13/26 7:47AM BRUTAL WEEK FOR THE MOP AND BUCKET GUYS AT MUDRUROS COMPOUND 1/13, 11:22 AM banana purple punch auto RF three is doing really great. I haven’t really needed to do anything. I decided not to top. I didn’t want to do anything except light stress training. I think she’s gonna turn out just great. Her stock is one of the thickest. She’s just perfect.😍😍😍

Had rain For 2 days high humidity buds also added another wave of pistills on 1 cheese strain

Wow the autos are taking off now that temps are stable. still fully in veg no signs of hairs yet but everyday they are growing new leaf's. will update next week with a hopeful big boost to the plants

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly

600 PPFD

Only one plant left! Frostbanger has huge buds and its finish well. Checking trichomes daily but I think One more week and she gets the chop 🔪.

Week 2 is complete and the plant is slowly building structure. Growth has been steady and the new leaves are forming well. Overall the plant looks healthy and stable. Watering: Throughout the entire week I only used well water, without measuring or adjusting pH. Watering was kept light to avoid over-saturating the living soil. The plant received about 300 ml every two days. Environment: Days have been warm and fairly dry. Around 28–32°C at noon, with relative humidity ranging between 35% and 55%. The plant appears to be handling these outdoor conditions well. Changes made at the very start of Week 3: - Applied a light root feeding: 1 ml Max Root mixed in 400 ml of well water. - Watering schedule will now shift slightly to ~400 ml every three days as the root system expands. - The fabric pot was moved into direct sunlight to increase daily light exposure. - Added a straw mulch layer to help regulate soil temperature and retain moisture in the living soil.

I finally decided to do some LST and see if will get a bit more buds. Plant was growing slow and some have recommended me not to do LST but I could not see it going into flowering with only the top bud since is so small... after lst I have at least 4 strong heads that are starting to flower. Hope this was a good idea. Smell is amazing.

Looking Great.👍🏼 lst and added Tiger Bloom purple lemonade not ready for lst. 6/22

A nice week without problems i have added a few basil seeds, but posible way too much i migth have to remove them, have you grow other plants on your pots? any advice?

Well well well ! I'm planning to cut eveyone in about 10 days. Just watering and slowsly starting to remove fan leaves Pretty happy about the conditions in my room, i have around 45-55% RH and maximum 24 degres. The drying will occur in this growbox, so i think i'll can have a nice and slow dry See ya next week for the last 10 days 😍

TUESDAY 9/3: A the trichs on a couple of them are getting pretty cloudy, but they still have at least another week of flushing ahead of them. The rest have a couple weeks left to go I think. WEDNESDAY: I was out at the property for awhile today, hosed off the horsies and cleaned their hooves really well. I was there long enough that I was able to move the plants into direct sunshine for an extra couple hours. I fed everybody with a half-gallon of water including bembe, terpinator, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, armor si, and big bloom...just enough to wet their whistles. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY: I was sick as a dog . 2-day stomach virus, followed by an acute pancreatitis attack... 😷 MONDAY: I gave them all about a half-gallon of aquarium water with some bembe, beastie bloomz, and tiger bloom.

FastBuds White Widow auto 4th week of flowering completed 11th jan 2020 Well this plant is still the smelliest of all the testers Ive been growing it Reeks!! but in a good way 😝 Nothing else to report all my girls seem to be very content in their environment at the moment and are getting closer to the end every day . I'm supposed to be going away on leave next mont for 2-3 weeks and I'm hoping all of my flowering plants will be ready by then 😏

Day 45🌺

Girls are on day 4 of being in their forever pots, 5 gal. I am a noob and over watered my plants, thus the curled leaves and I had a very small amount of mold on Dorothy's soil. Removed it with a spoon and did a good search for how often and where to water. Watered the whole soil, not just near the roots. I will be waiting until the soil is dry before watering going forward and I'm hoping the girls will get to 100 percent health. My grow tent comes tomorrow and they will be transferred into the tent with grow lights and a fan. Rn I have a basic house light on them which I'm thinking will stunt them initially. Hopefully the grow light brings the girls all the way to life I will update with them in the grow tent tomorrow. Also my 4th seed officially never grew a taproot, so RIP Sophia 😥Please leave any and all tips, as I am walking blind and depending on a few websites for my advice.

Little yield but that’s because of my mistakes, great looking, frosty and dense buds! Smells amazing! Taste: 9/10 Smell 10/10 Looks, 8/10 Would like to try this again and try get a bigger yield!
