Mulberry F3 Day 63 All is well with Miss Mulberry this morning. Today was a feed watering and she received two tsp each of bloom nutrients. Biggest change is I went ahead and up the lights to 75 percent power and am cranking out between 950-1000 PPFD and in the neighborhood of 65 DLI @ 18/6. We will keep an eye on her for any signs of light stress.

Day 64, 11-12-24: They are beautiful! I am going to enter one of my tri pics in the November pic of the month. 1st competition entered! They smell exactly like peaches now. Fresh out of the orchard smell. Day 65, 11-13-24: They are sooo beautiful. And they smell on point. I am having some issues though. #1 has gotten so tall that the top light (aglex 400w) is at 25%, and 2 150w mars, a groplanner 150w, and an aglex 250w all at 100%, because the top is burning. Any suggestions? Day 66, 11-14-24: So sticky it caught a gnat lol. As far as the experiment goes, it ended how I expected, yet got there in an odd way. Number one grew is expected, number two grew more than expected but balanced out, and number 3 through smaller than I had expected. Day 67, 11-15-24: They're growing well, and the trichomes are just sooo pretty! Day 68, 11-16-24: They're starting to thicken up nicely! Day 69, 11-17-24: I defoliated them today. They were getting really bushy so I removed quite a few fan leaves to allow secondary lighting to be more effective. Day 70, 11-18-24: well the end of week 10 shows some amazing looking plants. My tests seem to have worked somewhat lol.

This lady is doing really nicely since I being moved from the tent. I made a massive error with my other grow by leaving her in the tent with the front cover closed as we had some shite weather and this made the humidity levels to high causing bud rot. I can't begin to explain how soul destroying it was finding that. This lady is free from any mould and since I have just defoliated her there will be less chance of it happening. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any signs. I think this one may have around two to three more weeks before harvest.

Was really good to grow. Ran into some difficulty during flower one bud grew slightly too close to the light and died, which then Began to rot, I cut that bud off only to find that 2 other top buds had become rotten on the inside. So in order to salvage the grow I cut them off and threw them all away which ended up with me losing around 80grams of Wet weight which wasn’t the happiest moment! We managed to save her though all the buds have been thoroughly checked and are all in great condition! 4.5 ounces of one plant even after losing a lot is still a good result

Week 2 11-14 Day 8 Water, xplant tomorrow. Grows well. I still have too much water last time. Lol like 4 days to dry. Also RH is fixed, moved the big plant to a different location. Tent is all ready for these girls! 💪🤘 11-15 Transplant day to 3 gallon. 4 tbs craft blend, 1/2 cupish worm poo, hp connect in hole. watered in 8ozish ph6.2 yucca, humic light around 280 ppfd, will move up a bit in a day or 2 to be safe. 11-16 Seems well when I woke up. 11-17 Just did some growing today. Drank a little water. Thristy probably tomorrow. 11-18 Water with cal/mag, drops of balance, yucca and recharge.

Day 1 of week 4. Decided to do some LST on her. First time using dry amendments for Nutes and I must say I definitely recommend. Added them to the soil before I planted her and she’s shown no signs of deficiency.

Hello Growmies, We’re sailing into week 13 of flowering with our Epic Buzz, and she’s taking up nutrients like a champ. Her appetite has grown to a robust 2.5 liters of nutrient solution a day, prompting me to stay vigilant with reservoir top-ups every three days. With the flower stretch winding down, I’m prepping to add PK 13/14 to her diet, aiming to bolster her as she enters the final stage of bloom. The marks of a previous hiccup when the reservoir ran low are visible, leaving a few leaves to yellow with chlorosis. Yet, most of her foliage remains lush and unaffected, a reassuring sign of her overall vigor. I’ve opted to keep the blemished leaves to avoid any additional stress that might come with their removal. Beneath the foliage, a network of healthy roots is hard at work, supporting the development of dense, trichome-rich buds that are starting to resemble golf balls in size. These buds are clustering around the colas with the promise of closing up any gaps, a sight that’s building my anticipation for what’s to come. The snapshots of Epic Buzz reveal her current state: a resilient plant pushing forward, her unaffected leaves standing out against the backdrop of her less fortunate counterparts. The canopy is speckled with trichome-laden buds, each one a testament to the careful balance of watering and feeding that has been maintained. As we prepare for the addition of PK 13/14, it's with a watchful eye and an eager mind, knowing that each adjustment now can have significant impact on the harvest. Stay tuned for more updates, Growmies. We’re on the brink of seeing how our Epic Buzz responds to the final touches of her feeding schedule as we edge closer to harvest. Stay Lifted, Salokin

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week one in the flowering phase of the Pink Rozay journey, and let me tell you, the transition has been nothing short of spectacular. After a meticulous mass defoliation, our queen has officially entered the blooming stage, and I'm here to share the mesmerizing details. The room underwent a dramatic transformation as I bid farewell to excess foliage, making way for the buds to bask in the full glory of the LED's captivating spectrum. The Future Of Grow 600W full spectrum LED continues to be a star performer, painting the room with hues that seem to coax the Pink Rozay into a rhythmic dance of flowering splendor. The spectrum's influence on the plant's reaction is truly a testament to the power of tailored light. Adding another layer of TLC, I treated our budding beauty to a foliar spray of Aptus Holland's NutriSpray. This elixir, rich with organic surfactants and a symphony of microelements like Manganese, Sulphur, Zinc, and Iron, acted like a botanical spa day. It's amazing how a touch of NutriSpray can create an aura of vitality and ensure that the Pink Rozay is soaking up every bit of goodness. As the floral orchestra began to play, it was time to fine-tune the nutrient symphony. I bid adieu to Startbooster and welcomed Topbooster to the stage. Topbooster, a delightful blend of bloom and maturation stimulation, is the secret ingredient to amplify the Pink Rozay's natural rhythms. 100% organic, it's like giving the plant a gentle nudge to produce larger, more resinous, and sweeter fruits. It's a sensory journey that promises not just quantity but a celebration of enhanced flavors and appearances. In tandem with this transition, Aptus Holland's P-Boost joined the nutrient lineup. A phosphorus powerhouse that doesn't leave residues, P-Boost is a solubility maestro. Enriched with organic acids, it not only propels blooming processes but also acts as a pH harmonizer in the nutrient mix. It's an organo-mineral maestro, stimulating the production of proteins, plant hormones, and vitamins. The Pink Rozay is now in the capable hands of these nutrient virtuosos, poised for a flourishing flower show. The dance has just begun, and I'm thrilled to witness the symphony of petals and fragrances unfold. A heartfelt thanks to Aptus Holland for their nutrient mastery and to Future Of Grow for illuminating this flowering spectacle. The Pink Rozay saga continues, and I'm grateful to have you all on this journey. As always, a massive shout-out to Aptus Holland for being the backbone of this green adventure, and to Future Of Grow for providing the perfect illumination for Pink Rozay's stage. Stay tuned, fellow growers, as we venture into the enchanting world of flowering. The Pink Rozay saga continues, and I'm thrilled to have you all along for the ride.

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! 🌱💪😂

8/12 (Day 56) - Well it’s a week and things are looking ok I suppose. Everything is staying in check and I’m feeding full strength and the plants seem to be handling it well. Drinking 4-5 gallons a day. I think the stretch is pretty much done so hopefully we can get some big juicy nugs to develop. These ladies are sooooo stick. I defoliate and 10 seconds later it’s like my hand is covered in stick glue, and the smell…sooo sweet. Like a tropical candy. Going to be doing probably one last big defoliation on these girls in the next day or two. I’m always plucking here and there to be honest. But seems to be ok. Thanks for looking! 8/13 (Day 57)- Did some very light defoliation on three of the plants, then the back right plant I ended up removing a ton of the lower growths and leaves. It needed it pretty bad I feel. She is a little behind the other plants but looking good none the less. Just going to continue to monitor and feed regulary. 8/14 (Day 58)- Started the morning with the flush and change of water and nutrients. Everything is looking good, going to leave them alone for a few days let the one plant recover and grow. All conditions are steady and constant. 8/15 (Day 59)- Just continuing to monitor and check for issues, feeding around a gallon or more every 4-5 hours. I am noticing more and more frosty goodness as the girls continue to develop! As always tips and recommendations welcomed and appreciated.
