They've stretched through the net a fair bit , all different heights. Defoliated reasonably hard on day 20 . Started sugar royal at half dose this week. Will start green sensation also from plagron from week 4 as recommended.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Slush Mint Cake von Dutch Passion Nach dem Topping erholt sich die Pflanze wunderbar und wir haben eine schöne Homogenität der Seitentriebe. Aus Platzgründen bleibt die Pflanze nochmal im Wachstum. Ich habe bereits die untersten Triebe entfernt und auch daß untere Blattwerk rausgenommen. Die Wuchsform ist kräftig und Energie geladen. Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind für die Wachstumsphase Top! ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 64% VPD: 1,1 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm —————

Smooth few days after the defoliations. They seem to be happy. Malted Milk can be very temperamental but I have been catching on to her ways. Still wary with my feedings tho. Want to give all these different nutes and unknown what the results will be? Installed ac units in each room to ensure good temperatures and RH outside the tents. Hoping for another good week!

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.😍😍😍

Well she is just waiting for spring to clean out the veg closet so We can let her spread her wings for round 2. She has almost outgrown the seedling station.

The bruccies are continuing to mature, they are probably going to get harvested sometime in the next week. One has been on flush mode for about 5 days now, going to give it another 3 or 4. About to start the other one on flush once most pistils are orange. They are both chugging about 6 gallons each per week.

Day 106 Flower 44 Remaining 30 These ladies started standin with a gangsta lean. A few of the colas are starting to lean, just awesome! another fairly routine week with the exception of my pocket scope arriving. took some practice but i'm getting better at focusing on the trichs. Some of the buds are getting some red hairs but a couple have alot of red hairs and one bud actually has some amber trichs if i'm not mistaken. most of the trichs are clear and some milky. With 25 -30 days until harvest. Shouldnt they all be clear? Hitting the homestretch here I can't believe harvest is only 4 weeks away after all this. also I'm blown away by the crystal on these ladies. its insane! the smell is crazy strong now too in the tent. I'm considering whether I should buy one more bag of co2 for 2 more weeks. REALLY fatten these buds up. So i'm thinking I'll scoop some of that and some yoyos in the next day or 2. Happy growing guys and gals! thanks for following along, enjoy the convos as always. 🙌👊

Day 17F-24F (Day 19) Man it’s such a shame that bbb#1 stunted out. It was so damn vigorous until it’s most recent feeding. I will make sure to cut back on teas next round as they can be a wild card sometimes. All 5 plants are packing on some serious early frost. But I’m not seeing too much chunk to the buds yet. My other grow that was flipped on the same day has almost no frost yet so that’s a good sign. (Day 21) Big strip today. I will pull off as many leaves as I need to ensure nearly all bud sites are exposed to adequate light. I’m still seeing excess N so I’m going to water in 2 gallons each until I get some runoff. The plants seem to be up taking water pretty decently so I’m going to push it a little with a heavier watering. Wow do the plants look amazing after that strip and flush! Everything is praying up beautifully, including #3 in the back. Let’s hope that gets it back on track now. (Day 22) I want to give a PK boost but all my bloom nutrients have way too much N and I don’t really want to risk it toxing anymore. I could give it a little bit of 0-18-0 bat guano and some 0-0-15 kelp extract but it could be completely unnecessary. I can’t see any signs of deficiencies but a small surplus couldn’t hurt either. (Day 23) I like how the ladies responded to the thorough watering. I will up my watering to 1 gallon every 48 hours from now on. It sucks to see how short bbb#1 is. I was expecting such a huge stretch but it never came because of that fucking tea! I should have leached the medium as soon as I saw stunting. It’s too bad because it definitely had the most potential for yield. (Day 24) I’m starting to think the main problem with bud size this round is all the topping I did early on. Not to mention they were vegging for nearly 3 months. I will try to pick off most of the larf before it wastes anymore energy. I think the ideal style of growing for bud size and veg time is a semi sea of green, or 6-8 plants per 25 square feet. I’m not a big fan of these giant plants as it’s a lot of wasted veg time and smaller bud size overall. The smell is really ramping up!

I don't think I could have got 6 of these in my grow space they need a lot of room and airflow. nice strain looking forward to testing the strength.in my TCHECK METER. 18.2% THCa. lesson learned on pruning airflow and RH all very important I caught the bud rot right away I will keep a close eye on the dry and cure for mold. fingers crossed I will not have it. going to do a sulfur burn in tent and garage to reset for next grow. 000

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

Dopo due settimane nel box la crescita era diventata troppo elevata e ho dovuto spostare tutto nel mio armadio ma anche qui dopo 3 giorni da 20 cm (distanza dalla pianta alle lampade) siamo passati a neanche 4 cm una crescita esponenziale. La fioritura prosegue e i risultati sono ottimi i fiori si inizia a formare e dai filamenti penso che il raccolto non sarà misero anzi credo che sarà più di quanto mi aspettavo (circa 20/25gr)

For fweek 11 she’s looking great with more and more ripening of the buds getting fatter every day and insane thrichome production she’s quite small build size because of the lowerlevel of scrog bit her width makes up for in height with the thriches and pistols starting to change colour getting fatter and fatter getting closer to flushing date

The little Potter AMS Gorilla Glue has had a ph issue this week. I got it mostly stable when I seen it. The nutrition was a little too strong causing it to spike down as it got less moisture in the substrate. She has still grown well under the Spider Farmer G3000 light with issue. I just switched her to flowering today. She should be good to go at this point. Nothing else to report.

hey grow friends .... finally my time seems to come .... these beautiful little girls seem to tell me, every day that passes "smoke us" "smoke us" .... bitch bitch guys .. it doesn't seem true .. the dream of a lifetime ... MY FIRST SEED MY FIRST GERMINATION MY FIRST GROW MY FIRST LAMP MY FIRST VEGETATION MY FIRST FLOWERING WHAT A CHILD SATISFACTION 9 out of 9 .... AND EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE ABUNDANT COLLECTIONS FROM A SINGLE PLANT FOR ME ALREADY AND A SUCCESS TO COMPLETE 9 OF 9 I cultivated it very sparingly and in the end I was repaid quite well ... this and the second week of flush .... fuck how long they take to dry with the led :(
