Hello my friends 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾, Continue to grow well 🌲🌲, very easy strain, Only one issue this week, I've broken 1 stems during the train 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. The stem is broken more than 75%, I don't think will recover. But it's ok I've saved 3 nodes on this plants before topping. I'll could transplanted them next week in 11l and definitive pot, the Fat Banana should harvested ✂️✂️. And we'll have a better idea to prepare the scrog. Because still in 2l start to be very little lol...🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😳😳😅😅 💦 I give water each 2 or 3 days 350 and 400ml/plant Water + rhizo + tera vega Water + Rhizo + canazym PH@6 Lamp is 100% Thanks community for follow, likes, comments, always a pleasure 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤️🌲 Happy new year 🎉 🥂 family farmer 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 See you next week 👊👊 Mars Hydro - TS 1000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ts-1000-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - FC3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/fc-3000-samsung-lm301b-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - SP3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/sp-3000-samsung-lm301b-greenhouse-led-grow-light The High Chameleon - Vannila T https://www.thehighchameleon.com/shop/vanilla-t-5

This cali snow is having s little issue with leaf coloration. She doesn't seem the be taking the root bound situation as well as the other plants, but she is hanging in there and has hit flower. She has a really pleasant mango aroma. Really hope she keeps that going until the end. I am going to give her a half gallon flush today then hook her back up to her feed tube. Just hoping I can keep her alive long enough to taste some ripe buds off her

Day 36 week 5 22.01.2020 Plant is doing great but atm the grow rate is slowing down a bit or maybe it’s just me !!! I did cut her down quite a bit and that’s maybe why , other then that strong thick branches and a low profile like I wanted !! She’s ready to go into the bloom box as soon as I free up some space there what should be in a few days to a week !! She’s getting 2 best spot under lamp but still a prime spot I would say So from now it’s getting interesting so stay tuned

After surviving a wicked thunderstorm last weekend the Devil's still stand tall. I was able to get some branches tied down and everything secured. Tallest girl measures just over 9ft, up above the app will only allow me to enter 118 inches as the most for height when the tallest plant is 126 inches tall. The peak of the greenhouse frame is 8ft. Been having a hard time keeping Monster Bloom in stock so been using slightly less and compensating with Alaska Morobloom 0-10-10. Stepped up the Purpinator a little bit to 1 1/2 tsp, and plan to > as flowering continues. Hopefully in this next week they blow up with calyxes. Was also considering reintroducing my waterproof lights in places to be used during the daytime where light is scarce. On the other hand it's kind of nice having a lower electric bill, haha. HAPPY GROWING TO ALL!

Bonjour les amis growers, Cette semaine, mauvaise nouvelle, j'ai découvert une boucle en bas de l'apex, juste au-dessus du collet. 😰 . J'ai posé une question. Apparemment ce n'est pas très grave. 😳.Cependant la plante est très penchée. Elle est quasiment à l'horizontal. Je ne vais appliquer aucune technique de lst ni hst. Por l'instant, elle est en bonne condition et les feuilles bien vertes et en bon état. J'ai commencé l’engraissage avec une combinaison 10-10-13. À bientôt, M.

Our Zamnesia Super Boof is a brand new strain, Zamnesia brought it out before anyone else in Europe and now it's the others who are chasing it. I'll show you that the Zamensia one is the best of all, of course also the American ones. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary you will find the planta left to grow straight, just a little LST at the bottom on these plants but then I often decided to cut away the lower branches. In fact if you leave the plant free to grow you will notice that the branches that do not get light are not very good so it is necessary to clean very well at the bottom and let only the parts of the plant that see a sufficient amount of light flower well that you must learn to evaluate. Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to compare. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We start bloom time now fertilize with: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 4 ml/l Alga Bloom We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Leafy's strain of the year ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/13317-zamnesia-seeds-super-boof.html Zamnesia Short Description // Here's your chance to grow one of the most sought-after strains of recent years: Super Boof, crowned Leafly's strain of the year 2024, and for good reason. Descended from Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies, this indica-dominant hybrid (70%) takes the already exceptional characteristics of its predecessors to new heights. Grow it at home to find out for yourself. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... -- // www.zamnesia.com

WEEK 2 DAY 14 Since last week the babies have taken off! They didn’t have much light until yesterday when I added another 100w led and since then I’ve seen a huge difference ! They are looking super healthy the roots said fuck the pot and grew right through it I’m actually super interested in seeing how these grow up.. The 3 clones that were separate last week are now moved into one single pot to further develop the experiment. They are on the same feed as the mother with flora grow/micro/bloom and cal-mag . And In the last picture you can see my ghettos man way of cloning .. going to see which 2 out of 4 are better rooted and I will move those to a pot in about a week or so. If you guys have any questions or want to know where I got these exotic seeds message me!! Or comment below !

Mar 9th -start of week 11, day 71 - grabbed a few trichome shots this morning. Real macros tonight. Decision time is nearing with ~85-90% cloudy trichomes... clear takes the cake with a few Ambers coming into being... time to look close - RTB #1 gets a close inspection tonight, I think its first-one Done. Pistils give it away. If there are Ambers to any degree its lights out - Zamaldelica is beyond normal flowering time, I’m waiting for the pistils to have 60-70% of them turned brown / orange. Thats tonights check. 11th a.m. - fed the Russian Tzar Bomba 2 & the Zamaldelica, 4 L of water each @ 7:00 a.m. - RTB#2 was placed in the Dark Tent at Lites-out (11:00) for 48 hours of Dark. - RTB#1 gets chopped,, weighed and Hung tomorrow morning… after her 48hrs of dark. Its Time! - Zamaldelica, whilst past her projected grow date by 2 weeks, her Pistils have finally begun to change colours from a Creamy white/yellow to Orange, currently there are close to 20-25% of them turned already. I’m putting her in the dark when 60-70% have turned 12th - chopped the Russian Tzar Bomba #1 after being in the dark for 48 hours. 372 grams of Hanging-plant to start with. - RTB #2 is in the dark 24hrs now and gets chopped tomorrow morning 13th - RTB #2 was chopped and weighed this morning: 380 grams of wet hanging-weight. It seemed obvious, visually, that the small plant would weigh more. With the bigger structure / frame I was sure the tall plant would produce more. Not so - Zamaldelica could be chopped Saturday morning… 15th - last day of week 11 and I believe its the last Nite of Light for the Auto Zamaldelica. 11 full weeks of Love for a 8-9 week auto-cycle. The BBP applications have extended the development of this plant. BBP is known to add a couple of weeks to some cultivars growth and it has done this to the Zam. Trichomes are 90% cloudy and the Pistils have remained a yellowy-white. This last week has seen the Pistils begin to Darken and are seem to be retracting Into the buds. Almost 50% have turned. We’ll see in the morning where we are. Not really interested in taking the grow into week 12. We’ll see tonight/tomorrow. Planning for the plant to enter 48 hrs of dark in the a.m. tomorrow. Last lite for Zam, tonight 16th a.m., took a few images just before the Official Lites-out for this Grow. Zamaldelica was Not part of the official Diary but I could not leave it undocumented, given her fame and poor performance on the 1st attempt. And she shared the Tent!! She’ll be followed and documented, next time Mar 17th 22:00 pm - for the record, Auto Zamaldelica tipped the scales at 402 grams. A True Beauty. - both RTB are hanging nicely @ 60% R.H. and 17.5c Mar 22nd - and on day 10 of hanging the RTB# 1 is doing amazing. No branches snapping, hanging in 62% RH @16c. The other plants are just a day or 2 behind. Leaves trimmed etc, all seems perfect Mar 25th - day 14 of the cure (targeting 20) and things are fully in cure mode. No branch snaps, at all, when twisting a Nug. - steady at 16c and 60-62% R.H.

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.😍😍😍

One was more bushy and was a little behind. As I said, they had some heat stress and I think the 15-liter pots are too small when the environment is hotter. Still, they are totally worth growing and joy to smoke. They don't need much curing and the weed is very very strong. Going to try this strain again very soon!!

End of week one, replaced one of the poundcakes because one of the seeds didnt pop. nothing to report, smooth sailing so far will feed next week.
