So I had to trim these ladies they desperately needed it These ladies are getting nice and smelly fruity smell filling the tent there are plenty of crystals coming and the buds are bulking out filling up the stick I am looking forward to these 🌱💚💨💯🙏

She is now in preflower showing budsite/tops. So far i counted 10. Still doing LST and did a light defoliation removing maybe 5 leaves. She is growing nicely with a decently even canopy. I have started 1/4 strength nutrients. Calmag, fox farms big bloom, and fox farms tiger bloom.

Week 3 – Vegetative Stage | Tester Log The plant has now entered week 3 of vegetative growth. A light feeding schedule with base nutrients and CalMag supplementation was introduced early to support healthy metabolic activity. The plant shows good vigor and compact morphology, with short internodal spacing and symmetrical lateral development, indicating efficient light exposure and stable growth. Leaf color is mostly uniform healthy green. A slight observation: the new emerging leaves show very light yellowing on the tips. At the moment it’s unclear whether this is caused by light proximity or a very mild nutrient excess, but it remains minimal and will be monitored and adjusted if necessary. The seedling was kept under 12h light during the first week for acclimation, then switched to 18h light, which is currently maintained to optimize vegetative growth. Overall the Sticky Orange XXL Auto continues to show healthy and stable early development going into the next growth phase. 🌱

Je rentre en préfloraison je maintient l’engra croissance en synergie avec l’engrais Flo et la lst;-)

Day 84. She’s so heavy and stinky like chai tea bubblegum. She’s starting her dark period ice flush for the last 5-7 days. I can’t wait to see her ripen up. She’s soooo freaking heavy when I take her off the yo-yo hangers she just flops Down like a a wilted sunflower 🌻😂 I can’t wait to watch her finish

Week 7 of flower starting today for this amazing Green Gelato Auto and man she's fattening up fast these last weeks and she's stacked with trichomes .. When opening the tent I can smell a gassy citrus smell with some sweet earthy tones too just like they describe thid strain on the site .. So for now i will slow down feeding considerably and then flush this bad girl with ph'd water and flawless finish.. Really pleased to have this strain for Christmas time its going to be straight 🔥 Thanks everyone for passing by and showing love hope you have a great Sunday tomorrow and Happy Growing to you all!!! Update Day 80: Hello everyone i inspected her with the lens and i saw even too many amber trichs on the buds this means the THC is already decreasing in favour of CBN so i decided to cut this baby tomorrow at night time so will post more pics after cut then going to make a final harvest update with the dry weight !! She will be hanging drying after a nice wet trim at 60%rh and 20 C for 5-7 days or till the stems nearly snap.. Thanks for passing by and leaving a like my friends hope you have a lovely week!!

The Fruit Spirit is flowering amazing. There is heads everywhere and it’s looking very healthy. 3G is Growing great and is flowering perfect. This week i add some coffee in the soil. I increased the light with 2 hours more.

DRIED UP AN ORANGE PEEL IN THE OVEN. THEN GOUND IT UP IN A COFFEE GRINDER AND TOP DRESSED ON DAY 8. MIXED UP A VERY VERY GOOD CUSTOM BLEND OF MEDIUM ON DAY 13 AND TRANSPLANTED. MISTED THE MEDIUM AND THE SEEDLING AFTER THE TRANSPLANT. WEATHER HAS BEEN COOL AND WINDY WITH NO ISSUES SO FAR. PLEASE COME AGAIN!😎

5.13.25. 2nd week of flower and she is finally starting to grow! I started with the tie down method but seemed to be stressing her out way too much! So I took off all the ties and now just letting her grow! Gorilla turned around within 2 days and started showing bud and new growth! That’s is why she has a funky shape but oh well I’m still growing her to the end! Thanks for checking out grow have great week!

After much effort Ripper seeds can introduce one of the most appreciated varieties by genetic collectors. They have worked to get one of the few lines of Sour Diesel feminized version preserving the main qualities of a good Sour D: flavor and potency. Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with a wide distance between branches, little foliage and a more compact and desirable bud than the Original Sour Diesel we work. It's flowering period is 65-70 days. The most "undergrown" taste of the United States available for your collection. Vegetative: 1 to 2 weeks Genotype: 60% Sativa / 40% Índica Indoor flowering: 65/70 days. Outdoor flowering: Mid October Yield: Medium / High Effect: Powerful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2018-03-13 Week 11 Day 1

Good evening and welcome to the second entry in this diary. So that we already have to work with high temperatures, I carefully ordered the leave coat from Biobizz but it is still not there!Just like the rest of the order. I gave the plant 350ml Enchancer from Greenhouse. This is a new product for me. Which I will definitely include in my range. The room climate is 40% -50% humidity humidity from 25 to 28c during the day and 21-23c at night.I once read that frozen 2L bottles can help get a few degree down, and I think about trying it. We are still waiting for the 3 noiden of the plant and then we start training. Will topp this lady in the next days or maybe next week Thanks for your time the fox✊🦊❤️

Kind led lights have been raised, the X-420 is set at full spectrum with 25% UV/IR. Upon closer inspection of the garden, I’ve found a mite problem, probably from my stupidity. Traveling between outdoor garden and indoor garden doesn’t help. Everything has been treated with a mixture of water/neem oil / dish soap. I will continue this until eradicated. Growth rate is doing fantastic!

6/16 feed day. Transplanted into 20 gal pots 6/19 todat was a tea day. Applied some LST. Trying to make her more wide

Start of week 12 : 9/6/25 (Day 35 of flower)

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! 🌱💪😂

This girl is growing on her own almost...lol very easy plant so far, takes a ph swing like a champ and really seems to like anything I throw at her. Been trying to keep nutes on the lower side as well and that seems to be working out so far too. She stretched up a bit more then the other Obiwan Kush’s around her, but I’ll just even them out with the next screen, no biggy. Got some good bud development so far I think and having my light mover setup properly now with the light running at 1000w seems to be working nicely. So far so good. Cheers 💨

Week 18, and my buds are on a growth spree – they're growing and growing, reaching for the stars! But here's the funny part – I can actually smell them now when I open the tent. It's like a fragrant leafy surprise every time I peek inside. As I watch my buds plump up and expand, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. It's like witnessing a tiny leafy miracle unfold before my eyes. Here's to Week 18 – a week of growth, fragrance, and the pure joy of watching nature at its best. Cheers to my amazing garden – may it continue to bloom and delight in the weeks to come! 🌿🌼

D-104 : Last week, I noticed a problem related to the calcium OR to the Ph. I didn't know if it was a deficiency or an excess. So I tried to just wetered girls with the right Ph and A bit more of CalMag 0.8 > 1.2/L. We'll see this week if It was the good choice. fingers corssed !
