Set up a drip feeding system. Timed to keep the coco wet.

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.😍😍😍

Blue Cheese, smelling pungent, nice sweet musky smell.. Can definitely tell it's cheese. Day 52 today, started her flush on day 50 and will take her to at least day 64/65 giving her a 14/15 day flush, maybe longer but i'll see. Slight nute burn that i'm aware of but nothing overly major, doing really well otherwise. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks for following along people. Stay tuned

A lot has happened in the last week. First thing is i harvested all the other plants in my garden. 2nd is i got a new light!!!! A green sunshine company electric sky 180. It is a 24.5 inch long led panel with 3 different sprectrum Samsung mid powered diodes (180 total pulling 1 watt each). Super clean light and it has linear lenses that house the leds so it focuses the light down rather than losing light to a wider spread. Since hanging it, this girl prays hard and the undergrowth is getting a lot more light now also. 3rd thing is i put 10 worms in the pot, hoping they will make castings and more available food as we transition this girl into flower. 4th thing is i am slowly transitioning the light schedule. Right now shes up to 9 hours of darkeness a night and soon she will get to her final 11on/13off light schedule. Last night I gave her a tea consisting of OregonismXL, grokashi and bloom yellow bottles "Seaweed." Looking amazing and still loving her no till pot.

Day 64 : Week 10, I'm near of the end !! I give her less nutrient to 'wash' her and the last watering will be without nutrient. I think I will harvest in around 10 days, I can't wait to smoke her after she will have dried 😍

I am very satisfied with the variety, it has good flowers with good effect. The yield is also very large for small time effort

Day 16 : flowering intensifies ! It seems she stoped her stretch. I will begin PK 13-14 in 5 days. (Sorry, I couldn't make some pict Day 17 & 18 cause of my disease. I've passed all the week end in the bed. 😔😔😔)

El cultivo parte de 16 semillas regulares, pasadas 2 semanas hacemos el primer descarte por anomalía en el crecimiento, en la tercera semana de cultivo se muestran 4 machos y 11 hembras, descartamos 2 machos y separamos otros 2 para la posterior polinización de las 4 hembras seleccionadas para dar luz a la siguiente generación de esta cepa!! Olores pungentes a kush a limón, bayas y uvas verdes La polinización se realizó en ramas bajas de las hembras seleccionadas

Zweite Blütewoche und sie zeigen keine Zwitter Anzeichen. Sie entwickeln sich mega und legen eine Geschwindigkeit anden Tag, das ist der helle Wahnsinn. Wir sind sehr gespannt wie die RQS gegen die Fastbuds abliefern wird. Second week of flowering and they're showing no signs of hermaphroditism. They're developing incredibly well and growing at a breakneck pace, it's absolutely insane. We're very curious to see how the RQS will compare to the Fastbuds.

The week went really well and we are starting strong into week 3. The King's Juice Auto #1 is giving me some worries because she's a little bit small. Also, I saw an aphid on her. Never underestimate green light spectrum guys! Speaking of light... I raised the light intensity up to 30% (80W) and will keep doing it like this until I end up with a DLI of 40-45. With 19 hours of light that would be roughly 60-65% of light output. Interesting. From the side view, I think #2 is my favorite but overall it's still #3. Still unsure what kind of training I should do or if at all. Alright, I trained them and tried some different strategies. I topped #3 because she was by far the tallest one anyway, I "lollipopped" #1, so that she hopefully pushes more power into the upper part and I just tucked the fan leaves of #2 under the branches. At least as far as I could. #2 definitely has some lovely growing! She also has the first white hair coming out. Will try to get a photo of that later, hopefully with my new wifi microscope. Should be delivered tomorrow. Wasn't delivered but how she develops, I don't need the microscope. First set of white hairs is clearly visible! I'm exited to see how they continue to develop.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Cereal Milk de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas, con 70 dias de floración. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es resistente , y no es para nada complicado cultivarla por lo menos en interior. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Dia 1 en maceta de 2lts. A la tierra le agregamos Great White para aumantar el crecimiento radicular, en pocos dias estiraran y se pondran muy bien

Good

Blütewoche 3 Mit Chickenshit Livingsoil läuft es sehr einfach. Thripsen befall eingedämmt mit Plant Booom Protect Spray!

This week things are booming.. Just watering every time soil is dry.

welcome to 📅 Day 29 of the grow Day 1 of flower 7/5/2021 sorry for the late update I just found out my wife is pregnant with our first 👶. the girls are doing great under the new grow feeding and coming along great. see you all on Thursday for my next update. Happy growing and keep your stick on the ice 🏒 Update: 📅 Day 4 of flower 7/9/2021 the girls are coming along very good and I have done the last of the pruning from here on out its just feeding I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing.

Two out of three were fed with nutrients today on 8/10 2/3 were fed with plain ph water on 8/12. Back plastic pot still drying from plain water feed on 8/10 8/15/25: 7 more days until lollipop & slight defoliation. Need to feed all 3 with nutrients.
