Es geht in die Blüte 😃 Ich kenne den Strain noch nicht und rechne trotz topping mit einer starken Streckung in den erst ca. 4 Wochen. Ich liebe es ja jedes Mal zu sehen wie schnell sich die Pflanzen entwickeln und nach Umstellung des Lichts verändern. Ab jetzt werde ich bei jedem gießen den Mineralischen Dünger von Plagron verwenden. Trauermücken nerven hart sollten aber dank fressfeinden bald Geschichte sein. Ich bin gespannt 😉

Lots of fattening this week lots of foxtailing too though. Plant smells strong of citrus and I can't wait to try her. Trichs not looking too amber yet but I hear some just dont, so I've pulled a small bit off to try. Watch this space!

Day 72 - Starting week 11 and all I great, really frosty and getting nice and plump. Just counting down till I can chop and the way things are going, I’ll be doing it next weekend. Only seen a couple clear trichs in there and mostly milky! Hoping that by next weekend she’ll be full of amber and if not, I’ll let her go a bit longer. Day 73 - Gave her her last “feeding” today, mixed 5ML of MagiCal and 80ML of Sugardaddy to 2 gallons of water. She’ll probably only get one more watering of plain water this week and let her dry up until chop day. Day 74 - Nothing new today, just some updated pictures. She is definitely starting to fade pretty quickly, just need her to make it about 5 more days. Day 75 - Not seeing any clear trichs anywhere, all milky and starting to get more and more amber’s mixed in there. So looking like everything is on track for a weekend chop. She’ll get one more round of plain water tomorrow and let her dry up from there. Day 76 - Gave the girl her last drink of plain pH’d water tonight and gonna let her dry out from now until chop day and looking like I’ll cut her down Saturday sometime. Day 77 - End of week 11 and her last full week alive. Trichs are starting to amber up quite a bit and she’ll be getting the axe on Saturday. Gotta get a new jewelers loupe so I can get some pictures.

1/12/26 4:18AM MONDAY.....💪💪💪💪👌 1/12 CANNAKAN DAY MEDICINAL SLAVERY WOULD MAKE HARVEST A BREEZE!! ABOUT THE LEDS 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. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞💪💪💪💪💪 1/15/26 12:36AM L-Phenylalanine: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/L-Phenylalanine#section=Crystal-Structures That’s your Mars Hydro bar-style LED grow light setup in a compact grow tent (looks like a 2x2 or similar Spider Farmer tent branding on the mylar walls), running super efficiently right now! Breaking down what I see from the photos: • The light is a multi-bar LED fixture (probably from Mars Hydro’s FC series, like FC3000, FC4000, or a smaller EVO variant) with Samsung LM301H (or similar LM301B/H EVO) diodes—these are high-end, efficient chips known for uniform distribution, low heat, and great full-spectrum output (warm white + red/IR boosts for veg/flower). • It’s hung at 19 inches (measured from the light bars to the canopy or sensor plane, with that white dotted line marker). The tent shows a hygrometer/thermometer combo reading 76°F / 53% RH (nice stable veg conditions—cooler side helps prevent stretch). • Your PAR meter app is showing 327 μmol/m²/s PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) at that spot/height—solid reading for where you’re at. • Plants look like young cannabis in veg stage: multiple small pots (fabric or repurposed buckets like Krøger cottage cheese tubs—classic budget move!), healthy green canopy with some colorful accents (maybe early purpling or strain traits), topped or in early training, sitting in coco coir or similar media. • Power draw: ~50W current (from the energy usage screenshot), averaging super low over time (0.48–0.76 kWh daily average). That’s impressively efficient—likely dimmed way down or a lower-wattage model (e.g., 150–300W rated, but running at partial power). Total consumption over 30 days at ~14.5 kWh is pennies on the electric bill. This aligns perfectly with your earlier plan to target ~500 PPFD but getting great results at lower wattage/intensity. Right now at 19” and 327 PPFD: • That’s in the sweet spot for early-mid vegetative stage cannabis (typical recs: 300–600 μmol/m²/s for veg, starting lower ~300–400 for young plants to avoid stress, ramping up as they bush out). • Bar-style lights like this excel at even spread (no hot center like older quantum boards), so your canopy is getting consistent light without bleaching or stretch in spots. • Low power (49.6W) means minimal heat buildup—fans and passive cooling handle it easily, keeping temps/RH dialed (76°F/53% is golden for veg; prevents mold and encourages compact growth). Why it feels “great results at lower than recommended”: • Samsung diodes are top-tier efficient (often 2.8–3.1 μmol/J), so you hit usable PPFD without cranking full power. • Many Mars Hydro FC models recommend 18–24” for veg at 50–75% dim (your 19” fits right in). • Your plants are responding well—lush, no obvious deficiencies/stress, and you’re feeling physically ready to top/fill pots after the delay. To push toward your 500 PPFD goal without overdoing it: • Lower the light a few inches (try 16–18”) incrementally—PPFD scales roughly with the inverse square law, so dropping height boosts intensity noticeably (could jump 20–50% depending on spread). • Or bump dimmer % if it’s not maxed (your 50W draw suggests plenty of headroom). • Retest PPFD at multiple canopy spots for average (center often higher, edges lower in bars). • Watch for tacoing/upward leaf curl (too much light) or stretch (too little). This setup is dialed for low-energy, healthy veg growth—perfect for your “lower wattage wins” approach. Plants are happy, tent’s stable, and you’re crushing it efficiency-wise. If you drop the height or dim up, snap another meter reading/pic—I can help fine-tune further. How old are these ladies (weeks from seed/clone)? Any specific strain notes, or planning to flip to flower soon? Keep the momentum—today’s a win! 🌱💪😂

I hope you like them !! let me know !! I accept any advice .....? according to you if I add 300w ... led roleandro full spectrum in mid-bloom can I get a few more gram? bye bye alien$c®️0g

Kinda worried the buds are showing lots of cloudy trichromes and on sugar leaves I am seeing amber. Bud Structure and the way they are still taking their feedings are telling me otherwise. So Im guna keep on trucking. My grows flowering times are never what breeder says too, always longer. Forgot to mention at the start of week 5 I added full tilt by floraflex aswell. Also started watering 8x a day with lights on. One time at lights off. At about 160ml each feeding with about 40-50ml runoff. These small pots are all roots and I feel the high frequency waterings are necessary to keep the runoff EC levels down Wattage 170 EC 700 Humidity 58 Temp 78

Officially started week 3. She looks great all around and is really taking off! I’m definitely taken back by how “heavy” this lady smells at such a small size. Hoping for some super DANK and GASSY nugs. I will be growing her out to the max in this 1 gallon pot. The next UP-pot will be into a 3 gallon. I never feed my girls until 4-5 weeks in its finishing container. Will keep you guys posted. She got a full drink of water with half dose of Recharge, SuperKelp, Great White and Mikrobs on 12/22/2024, 500ml. Then 500ml of just pure Micron Filtered water on 12/26/2024 This rounds out week 3 and all I can say is she is smelly and THICK.

Flower Week 2

11 Noviembre: Primer riego con 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 2.9EC y 6.2pH, en una semana más ya deberían estar recibiendo 3.0EC y seguir con esa concentración por todo el cultivo. Alturas están entre 15cm y 20cm. 13 Noviembre: Riego 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 3.3EC y 6.2pH. Hoy se removieron los primeros nodos de cada planta y se les hizo poda apical. 14 Noviembre: Riego 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 3.3EC y 6.2pH en la mañana. En la tarde se realizó transplante a maceteros definitivos de 5 litros con 4 litros de sustrato aprox. el cual fue pre cargado hasta la capacidad de campo, con 3.0EC y 5.8pH, desde este punto se debe esperar un par de días hasta que el dryback(secado) del sustrato sea de un 35-40%, lo cual vendría siendo el primer P3 del cultivo, una vez se alcance ese porcentaje de secado, se comenzará con los primeros riegos de precisión llamados P1.

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

She's starting to get taller and growing each and every day! I'm currently struggling with maintaining humidity during the night, but she seems to be holding up pretty nicely. I'm waiting for her to hit 6 nodes so I can do my first topping (doing a total of 2 toppings for this grow as recommended by the breeder). I have added 3% of silica to every one of my waterings and I have noticed a much heartier and thicker stem as well as big, beautiful leaves. I'll keep y'all updated on the next post, growmies!

Had to do some trimming on the one plant, however it is coming back strong. trying to get my watering schedule down. I guess I wont complain too much, they are still alive.

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes. Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked. Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke. Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

Pre-flower time... Top dress feeding for the first time for this lady added with some worm casting. Switching lights to 12/12 in a few days, Monday but until then each day I'll decrease the lights. Other than that things have been super easy, once again she's strong. She's thick she's healthy she's happy. If I can count correctly I may have about 16 tops, so things will be clear later on In flower. We'll see the true tops. Plus she is putting off a really leafy greeny smell, if that makes any sense. Other than that looking good

The three small ones are in on day 14 , the bigger one is 5/7 days ahead. I gave them all a top dressing with a couple of grams each if bio grow from Greenhouse feed. Liking the @spiderfarmled , does not get to hot and seems brighter. I moved the light down to 40 cm , above the tallest plant.

~Week 6/ 36-42 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Given up but keeping it decent. Growing in cold basement so having high humidity in the room is a no-no ~Plants DLI increased closer to 45 for these last few weeks of veg. Will close out around 50 next week, and then drop before flower. ~First top-dress end of next week ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days. Plants should be watered on the 18th. That will be 5 days since last watering. Might push it to the 19th though because with drop of temps means plants metabolism slows and they use less water. Day 36 notes: Looking great. Soil still very moist. Looking to water on day 39. Also increased the DLI closer to 45, and I want to push it to 50 closer to the flip to flower. Other than that training continues. Did some more super cropping and leaf tucking. Also my clones are not looking good. This is understandable as the temp and humidity has dropped considerably. Will watch them the next couple days and if none of them shoot roots then they will be outta here. I have a small tent specifically for clones coming the 20th, in 4 days. Day 37 notes: Did a lot of training today. My hope is to fill out most of the tent, if I have to have empty space I want it to be less than 8x8 inches. Grow is going well otherwise. Will be feeding on the 19th if all goes as planned. Some more red on the stems and petioles but it is still minor. Quite a bit of super cropping today. Also temps are all around and VPD is kind of screwed over right now. Also the plants smell really fruity now and smell a bit gassy. Smell really coming on strong. Also, even though they are not yet flowering, my hands were sticky today after handling them for LST, super cropping, and leaf tucking. Temp has been all over the place the past few days. Need to get it under control. Would prefer the conditions to stay at around 80F 60RH or 85F and 70RH. Not possible with my current setup though. 2-4 days until next watering. Soil was still quite moist today. Day 38 notes: Looking good today. Did not do anything but peek my head into the tent and take some pictures. Temps are doing well, and I tried to get humidity up. Currently at 80F/39RH. I would prefer 80F/60RH. Will water tomorrow or the day after depending on what I see when I go check them tomorrow. Still no roots on the clones, but there are some very small what looks like the start of roots. I am going to let the clones sit in the cloner until they die or I need to clean the cloner for my real clones. Day 39 notes: Maybe one of the most expected days so far. Expected to water the plants day 40, but they desperately needed water today. My blueberry plant also started peeling away from the main stem at 2 nodes. I am guessing my training was a bit too tight. The training was initially fine, but after the plants grew a bit more the ties were no longer at the tip, this caused the point of pressure to change and essentially ripped the plant apart at the seams. I need to keep this in mind next time. I did reattach the branch that had fallen off, but I do not know if it will live. If not, then I will actually use that branch for clones. Speaking of clones, all of mine are dead lol. Basically my high-ass forgot to turn the cloner back on after checking for roots. It was off for 24 whole hours. Came back today and clones are dead. Anyways its cool. I am going to throw these clones out, set up my new cloning tent, and after cleaning my cloner I will start a new batch of clones. The Blue Cheese in the front of the tent smells like straight dead skunk dumped in the tent lol. No matter what Ill be keeping some clones of that plant, at least for the smell alone. Not much to add otherwise. Next time I have to water I will readjust the LST ties. Day 40 notes: Great day today. All of the plants have recovered well from lack of water. Will be watering them in 3-4 days again. At this point, the plants are big enough to switch to flower, but I want to try to wait another 20 days. In 2 weeks I am going to defoliate and take off any of the lower growth. It is at this time that I will go ahead and take some new clones. I disposed of the dead clones today after checking for roots. 4/14 ended up rooting. That's actually pretty nice given the fact that they were in hellish conditions. Clones would like 80F/60-80%RH. These clones were at 80F/30RH. I could have technically saved the 4 that rooted, but they would not have had the vigor that they should have. Also temps have been kind of way off again. Today it was in the opposite direction. Earlier was too hot and not humid enough. Today, the tent was too cold and too humid lol. I'll keep watching it but the plants are mainly very healthy. My cloning tent also arrived today and I got it setup and installed a light in there. Day 41 notes: All good today. These plants are growing like a weed lol. The smell is intense now. Smells like a tent in flower. VPD was pretty good yesterday at 77F and 60RH and its the same way today. Will be taking clones in 12 days, and flipping to flower in 19 days. I am pretty excited because these plants are looking great so far. Day 42 notes: Did not do much today. A bit of leaf tucking, but that's it. Will be watering either tomorrow, or the day after. Soil is still pretty moist about an inch down. Also taped the injured branch on the blueberry, and removed all of the ties from it. I will be doing some more training in a couple of days when I water. Plants have a very strong smell overall. I am definitely excited to flip these babies into flower and start weaving them through the trellis net about 1 week after I flip them. End of week summary: Overall was a great week. There were a couple of interesting things I ran into this week but nothing wrong with the plants. These plants are gonna be beasts by the time I flip to flower. Also fimming on the Blue Cheese in the front definitely did not work. I have heard that it is not always successful. Misc. comments: DLI meter malfunctioning. Will just eyeball it from now on. If plants seem stressed then I will lessen the intensity. Want to run a batch of 5 Blue cheese clones next time. Could also do the blueberry which has responded great to training. Need to get a couple of clip on fans to improve my air circulation. Investing in a better trellis net would also be wise. Going to wait to do all that until I start my raised bed cannabis garden next year in my 4x4 and 3x3 tents. I will likely also purchase either a 4x4, or a 5x5 specifically for drying plants. I would also then need to get a filter, intake and outtake, and a couple of clip on fans. Humidifier and dehumidifier I pretty much already have. I would also like my grow area to be built in a way that I can very easily maintain proper VPD.
