From seed to harvest in 68 days photos dont do it justice the plants suffered alot of stress due to my inexperience but delighted to get 29g dry off hmbd and 6gish off dr feelgood in the same resoirvoir and a total usage of 70w for full set up the dr feelgood didnt yeild so much due to root rot cause lack of oxygen but all in all im impressed 70w usage over a oz of hmb of coffee shop looking and tasting taste pukka smell unique like blueberry and diesel left that nice taste I was high like the haze family not like the usuall blueberry that doesnt get you high truely amazed how this turned out for my 1st grow will post the feelgood diary soon will 100% only use shortstuff seeds cant wait to get the shortstuff haze wonder how strong will that be considering this is as the import haze i get local 29g for me was enough probly last me a month and 2weeks so happy days i made some cannaoil outa the trimming and that was super strong the trics were 70cloudy and about 10% clear and about 10% amber i just couldnt wait to chop since i had tastes the bud i would highly recommend it great for stealth and believe me as strong as anything i have smoked00

Bananenalarm auf der Kräuterfarm. Die Euforia zwittert. Ich habe ein paar Pollensäcke entfernt, aber bei diesem dichten Wuchs werde ich da niemals alle finden. Ich lasse es drauf ankommen, denn die Dos Si Dos ist nächste Woche reif und ich finde den Gedanken eine Kreuzung aus der wunderbar zitronig riechenden Euforia und der Lemon Haze zu haben spannend.

Nothing much happening of note this week except that they have suddenly begun frosting up faster than I expected. Had to do a couple more defoliations just to take care of the humidity. Shot this video today at the 10 week mark. Maybe another 4 or 5 to go.

End of week 4/Day 34 plant is still really small but its flowering :) has a nice smell between a green veg plant and a cheese strain :) and im really excited to try the buds from this one, cant wait to be relaxed haha. im going to make sure the plants are 60cm away from the light for flowering as they are all in the flowering stage now :) im going to be giving more canna B in flowering for P and K instead of N. check out my Quick One and Royal Dwarf diaries :) i guess its just a waiting game now. it was a nice learning experience this time round but i was very unsure about everything. i have to give myself some applause tho as ive reached flowering :) next grow im doing a diesel auto, gg auto and maybe a sweet Zz (grapefruit x grape ape) as my first photoperiod :) we'll see how things go. please leave any advice or comments :) thank you for following my diaries! I picked up some iceberg lettuce seeds too so keep an eye out for those! :D Day 35 - 29/10/19 haloween is almost here and i cant wait to get me some 🎃. Flushed the fast eddy plant and it had 1160 ppm with a ph of 6.08. im assuming ppm of 800-1160 is hurting my plant, full of salts too. mixing up feed now to give to her. i should have had it sitting ready but i mixed up the bottles so i had to start over 😂. the smell off this plant isnt like the other generic weed strains, its got a real powerful potent cheese smell coming from it, and its very compact and tight, i think i actually got 2 buds merging into one hahaha. the sugar leaves look amazing too :) need to pick up a jewelers loupe or something of the sort to start watching the pistils and trichomes :) other than that im gonna start feeding her 4ml Canna A, 4ml Canna B, 3ml Rhizotonic, 3ml Cannazym. i did the flush yesterday with quick one and growth is just exploding again, its crazy how noob proof these plants are, still i think id prefer to have more control with photoperiods. Day 37 - 31/10/19 Plant enjoyed the flush! its very hard to see the flowering growth as it is very close together surrounded by healthy leaves. Has a lovely cheese smell, compared to a full cheese strain im getting hints of what could be the juanita la lagrimosa :) from the way this is developing and forming buds im not even worried about the size anymore. its looking likely to be good quality smoke :) Basically no flowering stretch so less yeild i think :) im a happy grower so thats all that matters haha. until next week folks! and HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!!

Greetings, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Buckle up for the Week 6 Veg Report, where the saga of Jealousy unfolds with even more green grandeur. It's been an absolute thrill, a week of excitement, and a dash of horticultural finesse. First things first, let's talk about the latest addition to the Jealousy fanfare – the installation of a Scrog net. Oh yes, my friends, we've entered the world of controlled chaos, guiding our leafy companion into a magnificent dance beneath the net. It's like creating a green tapestry of foliage, where each leaf has its own place in the botanical ballet. This intricate web not only adds a visual spectacle to our growing sanctuary but also serves a practical purpose. It encourages the growth of an even canopy, ensuring that every bud site gets its fair share of light. It's like orchestrating a symphony of sunlight, allowing Jealousy to bask in the full glory of the grow room spotlight. And speaking of spotlight, let's talk about a little nutrient boost I introduced to our plant banquet – CalMg. It's like giving our green diva a backstage pass to the nutrient extravaganza. Calcium and magnesium play crucial roles in plant health, contributing to cell structure, enzyme activation, and overall nutrient uptake. It's the secret sauce for ensuring our Jealousy is getting that extra touch of botanical TLC. Now, let's dive into the art of bending and twisting. It's not a yoga class for our plant, but rather a strategic maneuver to shape and guide her growth. By gently bending and twisting the stems, we're encouraging an even distribution of energy and promoting the development of multiple bud sites. It's like teaching our green companion a choreographed routine, ensuring she takes center stage in the grand spectacle of growth. As we revel in the green symphony of Week 6, let's extend our heartfelt thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for being the guiding lights on this verdant journey. Their support is the cornerstone of our horticultural adventure. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and camaraderie continue to elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation be a constant companion. Here's to a week of Scrog magic, nutrient symphonies, and the artful dance of bending and twisting. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

Hola , esta es la última semana de floración del seguimiento de las "WAKAS" , Se consiguió lograr un amarilleo más notorio en algunas plantas , estas estuvieron desde el 11 de noviembre solamente con agua , en total tuvieron 27 días sin fertilizantes que solamente se regó con agua. se cortó este seguimiento el dia 8 de Diciembre guiándonos por la fase lunares con 70 dias de floracion y cerca de 102 días de vida total. Muy contento de poder haber cultivado esta genética que estoy con ansias de poder probar y testear. dejamos igual un video con el espíritu navideño jajaj... Hello, this is the last week of flowering of the follow-up of the "WAKAS", It was possible to achieve a more noticeable yellowing in some plants, the latter since November 11 only with water, in total they had 27 days without fertilizers that only watered with water This follow-up was cut on December 8, guiding us through the lunar phase with 70 days of flowering and about 102 days of total life. Very happy to have cultivated this genetics that I am looking forward to being able to test and test. we leave the same video with the Christmas spirit haha ​​..

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.😍😍😍
