Oct.29 - We transplanted the girls into soil since they are moving into vegetation phase Nov.4 - Watered each plant 250mL, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each girl

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! 🌱💪😂

Hi 👋 Blüte Tag 48 !?! Wieder eine Woche vorbei und die Lady lässt sich weiterhin Zeit. Die Blüten sind wirklich winzig klein. Aber es besteht noch Hoffnung. Wenn ich es nicht wüsste, würde ich die Lady auf Blütewoche 3-4 schätzen. Mal schauen, vielleicht überrascht sie mich noch. Die angegebene Blütezeit von 7-8 Wochen werden wohl eher 10-11 Wochen. Aber selbst das wäre okay, falls sie mir ein paar leckere Blüten schenkt. Gruß M.

Few more weeks before topping them. They all popped up nicely.

22. Dezember Video ist von gestern, die restlichen Bilder von heute. Wir neigen uns dem Ende zu :) Alle drei sind sehr unterschiedlich weit in der Reife. Nachdem ich doch eine milde Maus bin bin ich ganz happy über das Profil der Trichome: Links: relativ viele durchsichtige Trichome, wenig milchig, Bernstein konnte ich keines finden Mitte: die kleinste Pflanze die schon früher anfing zu blühen. Sie hat viele milchige Trichome und viele bernsteinfarbene. Durchsichtige habe ich kaum gefunden. Kann mir vorstellen das diese Lady für meinen Geschmack zu sehr klatscht x) aber das gilt es noch herauszufinden Rechts: visuell gefällt sie mir am besten! Die Blüten und die Wachstumsstrucktur ist wunderschön! Trichome hier sind überwiegend milchig, sehr wenig bernsteinfarben und wenige durchsichtig. So hätten vermutlich alle drei werden sollen 😅 ich werde wohl auf meine klimatischen Bedingungen im Zeöt nochmal etwas Einfluss nehmen müssen damit sich das besser deckelt. Die Lampe ist aus, die Töpfe furztrocken und der Zustand wird jetzt noch mindestens drei Tage gehalten. Plan ist um die Weihnachtsfeiertage zu ernten. Ich stelle mich auf einen langen schnippelprozess ein, da es doch schon viieeeel Pflanze ist x) Ich update dann wieder sobald es soweit ist. Euch wünsche ich schöne Feiertage ❤️ geniest eure Zeit ❤️

Day 43 let's start week 7! the plants grow and continue to stretch. unfortunately two weeks ago my ph meter broke. last week I started giving 1ml / l of green sensation and the plants seem to have lightened a lot. these days i should have the ph meter back so i can check. all in all they seem to grow well apart from this "yellowing". Day 44 the pH pen arrived and I discovered the cause of the yellowing. the ph was about 5 😭😭😭 now I let it dry well and brought the ph back to 6.7 and given 0.5 l and I wait for it to dry again keep following me to see my progress. it is my first growth and I make many mistakes, leave a like and give me an opinion or advice to improve. good luck and happy day!🌱💚

Loved the strain she was super strong attacked by a cat a cuple of times and she really grow well after that 62cm so yes, I think is strong, she smells like cream and fruis i dry her for 4 days with herbdryer i was fast bit didnt hold the smell , the yield was very good to 34 grams ready for the jars, I took some lower buds and smoke them , the flavor is just how she smells , like cream with fruit tones that come and go wile the cream sensation stays in your mouth, i love this kinda flavors , the effects are active at the beginning with a rush of energy ,but if you stop then relaxing is coming like you want to see a movie and eat a lot ahahha well thats my first impression i know the smell and taste is going to get better with time so for now this is what i can say , what a good strain fast Buds!💚👌🏻🌲👐🏻👊🏻

Actually top dressed with DTE about a week ago before flip. Also top dressed with a few tbsp of worm castings from the back yard.

Day 113 39 Days of flower, First day of Week 16 Day 115 41 Days of flower Watered with 4 gallons of spring water with 3 ml/gal of fish shit pH-6.6@68°F, buds are all looking good, all plants have alittle purple in them. Day 117 43 Days of flower (First day of Week 7) Day 119 45 Days of flower Watered with 4 gallons of spring water pH-6.5@70°F. Buds looks better everyday, with less and less white hairs as the days go by. Buds are forming beautifully.

Flipped tent to flower Strawberry truffle is so sticky, just defoliating veg growth and your hands are extremely tacky, Healthy plants, All leaves are fat and genetics proving themselves to be strong+vigorous

Mystery Made 2 got harvested 16/11 and I'm planning to let her dry for 14-21 days before trimming and put them in glass+boveda (58%) and grove bags for final cure. Drying conditions are as follows: 16-18°C 55-60% RH

➡️ Day+35, this week, the plants will receive their first dose of PK Booster compost tea around next Tuesday or Wednesday, when the temperatures drop a bit. Otherwise, the water might be too hot before then with the current heatwave, since the tea needs to steep for 24 to 36 hours. On day+31, I made a mistake. I wanted to pinch the apex of the tallest Dosidos auto in the back left corner because it was growing much taller than the other plants and starting to get stressed from the light. But when I tried to bend it afterward (supercropping), I broke the apex. So I ended up topped it, but the plant recovered very well. Even though the yield might be slightly affected, the secondary branches immediately grew more vigorously (I applied a Boom Boom spray the day I topped it). Since then, it's been developing a triple main bud. At Day+32, I placed the Swirski Ulti mite and Ulti mite spical sachets under the canopy, and yesterday I also introduced about 10-15 Orius laevigatus predators which will take care of the adult thrips if there are any left, in combination with the sachets under the canopy which release predators which take care of the larvae. I noticed a few small spots on one of the Purple Punch Auto leaves a few days ago, but nothing too serious, and since then there haven't been any more bites on any of the leaves, so everything is under control for the moment. However, I'm staying vigilant with the heatwave, especially this weekend given the outside temperature (I've released the rest of the 500 Orius laevigatus box into the garden outside, so I'm waging war on thrips on all fronts, as well as any potential spider mites). Luckily, I'm managing to keep the temperature under control (between 25 and 26°C in the grow box with air conditioning on at certain times of the day). (The Purple Punch Auto is now in the bottom right of the photo; I swapped it with the small Dosidos Auto because it was too close to the larger Dosidos) In one of the photos, there's a height-adjustable camping stool I found at Aldi for €5 (I bought two), exactly what I needed to have a canopy at roughly the same height. Currently at 580-650 PPFD/40-45 DLI ➡️ Day+37, the plants finally received their first PK booster compost tea today after 28 hours of brewing. I was able to maintain the tea temperature between 23 and 23.5°C, so it worked well. 700ml per plant, with 5ml/L of Orgatrex, and 30 minutes before the end of the brewing cycle, I added a small spoon of Bactrex and Mycotrex to the tea. The Purple Punch Auto is less advanced in its flowering compared to the three Dosidos Auto. Towards the end of flowering, I'll see if I can postpone harvesting the Dosidos by a week or ten days to give the Purple Punch time to mature sufficiently. If the difference in maturity is too significant, then I might have to finish the Purple Punch outside, as the tent is the only place I can dry at the right temperature and humidity. Currently at 600-650 PPFD

🇩🇪 Woche 9 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌿🚀 Was für eine Woche! Die beiden Mentha de Croco haben nach dem Umzug in die 30L Endtöpfe einen regelrechten Wachstumsschub hingelegt 🔥🌱 Mit inzwischen 90 cm und 88 cm Höhe haben beide Pflanzen in kurzer Zeit enorm an Größe gewonnen. Die Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde scheint ihnen hervorragend zu gefallen, denn die Entwicklung könnte aktuell kaum besser laufen 💪🌿 Die Pflanzen präsentieren sich in einem satten, gesunden Grün 💚 und zeigen weiterhin ihre außergewöhnlichen, farnartigen Blätter, die diesen Strain so besonders machen 🌿✨. Jedes Mal ein Hingucker und definitiv etwas anderes als die typische Blattform. Auch sonst gibt es nichts zu beanstanden: kräftige Stämme, vitales Wachstum und keinerlei Anzeichen von Problemen. Die Ladies fühlen sich offensichtlich wohl und nutzen den zusätzlichen Wurzelraum voll aus 🚀☀️ Wenn das Wachstumstempo so anhält, werden aus den beiden Mentha de Croco dieses Jahr eher kleine Bäume als normale Gartenpflanzen 🌳😄 Diese Woche gab es alle zwei Tage ca. 3 Liter Wasser pro Pflanze. ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 9 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌿🚀 What a week! Since moving into their 30L final pots, the two Mentha de Croco plants have absolutely exploded with growth 🔥🌱 Now standing at 90 cm and 88 cm tall, both plants have made an impressive leap in height over a very short period of time. The Bio Hanferde from Sonnenerde seems to be a perfect match, as their development could hardly be better right now 💪🌿 The plants are displaying a rich, healthy green color 💚 and continue to produce their unique fern-like leaves, one of the most fascinating traits of this strain 🌿✨. They definitely stand out from the crowd and attract attention every time. Apart from that, everything looks excellent: strong stems, vigorous growth, and no signs of issues whatsoever. The ladies are clearly enjoying their new root space and are making full use of it 🚀☀️ If they keep growing at this pace, these two Mentha de Croco plants might end up looking more like small trees than regular garden plants this season. Every other day 3 Liter Water each plant.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Mandarin Panties feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Tenemos como visitante de nuevo los trips, compré depredadores que colocaré a principios de semana. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco estar 100% con el proyecto. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

On cruise control now, done some defoliation here and there but that's it, feeding every 2-3 days and they are swelling up very nicely. I took a nice slow video instead of photos of each plant individually below is the order they appear in the video. 1st is 31? 2nd is #29 3rd is #35 4th is Orange Sherbert 5th is #33 6th is Wedding Cheesecake 7th is Wedding Cheesecake #2 8th is #37 REMEMBER , IF YOUR SHOPPING FOR GEAR YOU CAN USE THE CODE “BANGDANG” FOR 10% OFF YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE FROM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES. @greenbuzzliquids @rainscience_growbags @gorilla_grow_tent @growlightscience.led NEW* @Rocbudinc Seeds on his website * *****Gorilla grow tent discounts extend to all companies affiliated with grow strong industries which include..***** @super.closet Lotus Nutrients Kind LED grow lights

We are a couple who decided to plant cannabis for the first time during the covid-19 quarantine, and it helped us get through it, during and after grow =] Before deciding to plant, we studied a lot and saw many diaries here, so we didn't have many surprises during the cycle, also because we were able to see, compare and know what to expect from our plant. It was really cool to see the result of what we had studied happening in practice, we learned a lot from Grow Diaries. Definitely we will do a lot of different things next time, but overall we were satisfied to be able to smoke our own weed. Grow diaries helped and motivated us a lot, both to learn new things and to organize and register our grow. Our intention is to continue growing and sharing our experience here. Weed love you to leave comments and tips in our diary, it helps us to learn and improve more and more. Thanks and see you all next grow! 👽😜👌

Good afternoon gromies 😄 😇 😊 Week 9 was absolutely crazy. All my girls start to achieve an about high. NYC diesel is a smallest as she was but developing beautiful small hairy flowers 💐 😍 😇 Have a good night, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 🙏 😉

Growing along
