This beauty is starting to finish up. Yellowing up and fattening up nicely. I’m still having powdery mildew pop up but nothing too crazy. It’s not getting in the buds. She has been turning a touch purple with all the cold nights in my neck of the woods. I will likely take this girls down in a week as the forecast is nothing but rain so mildew could become an issue with too much humidity and the cold nights. I want to try these genetics indoor as PM won’t be an issue I’m my tent. 😎🍿

This week we should really see these colas blow up and start stacking really strong. The mixer of 7 hours of sun and 17 hours under my LEDs has really helped my girls grow strong. Nothing compares to good old Mother Nature.

Semana 8 de floración.🌹 Entramos en una fase clave del cultivo, donde el foco está puesto en la maduración progresiva y en mantener la estabilidad para que las plantas terminen de expresar todo su potencial. Los cogollos continúan engordando semana tras semana, con una producción de resina muy evidente, especialmente en hojas de azúcar y cálices superiores. Los aromas empiezan a intensificarse y la estructura floral se mantiene firme y bien formada, las flores empiezan a coger alimentos de las hojas. -Permanent Marker: Las Permanent Marker están mostrando una floración muy atractiva. Cogollos cada vez más compactos, tricomas visibles incluso a simple vista y una evolución constante sin signos de estrés. Los tricomas se observan mayoritariamente claros con aparición progresiva de lechosos, lo que indica que aún queda margen de engorde y maduración. Los pistilos comienzan a oxidar poco a poco, pero todavía hay una gran cantidad de blancos activos. El terpeno que desprende es muy potente, complejo de describir, con lijeras variaciones entre los tres ejemplares. En esta etapa se ha decidido no forzar la nutrición, priorizando estabilidad y salud general para un final limpio y de calidad. -Jealousy Diesel Auto Las Jealousy Diesel auto avanzan a un ritmo algo más lento, pero de forma constante y saludable. La formación de tricomas está siendo abrumadora, junto a un impresionante terpeno a cítricos, naranja y picante que se pega en tu olfato por horas después de manipularla. Se ha respetado su ritmo natural, sin prisas, permitiendo que continúen desarrollando resina y estructura floral progresivamente. 🔬 Control y decisiones técnicas: • Ambiente estable durante toda la semana. • Fotoperiodo 12/12. • Nutrición moderada, sin excesos. • Riegos ajustados y observación diaria. • Sin signos de estrés ni carencias relevantes. En este punto del cultivo, la prioridad ha sido mantener constancia y evitar cualquier cambio brusco que pudiera afectar a la calidad final. 🔍 Estado de maduración: Tricomas: mayoritariamente claros, inicio de lechosos. Pistilos: mezcla de blancos y algunos oxidados. Resina: muy abundante. Cogollos: aún en fase de engorde. Todavía no es momento de cosechar. Se prioriza dejar que las plantas completen su ciclo y alcancen su punto óptimo de maduración. La magia está haciendo efecto. ,😍🌿✨❤️

Semana sel 2 de septiembre al 8 de septiembre 8 de septiembre, fotos del dia Jueves 5 de septiembre 2024. Se regaron con Floralicius plus adicionado con Hidrol-pez + vitaminas.

Do far so good. Fattening nicely. Going to give last nutrient feeding this week and flush around 04/04

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! 🌱💪😂

Had a bad week 4 as my PH pen decided to go wonky. Once I got it all straitened out plants took a few days to bounce back and took some lower leaf damage but nothing to bad and it will mostly be trimmed off soon anyway. Still waiting to start LST on 3 of these girls until they get a few days of normalcy after the ph shock. Will probably be end of week five we tie the other 3 down and get the screens in place to prep for Scrog.

Not much happened this week, but they are stretching. 😄

No terps coming off her yet but has a very orange smell if touched. Starting to frost up nicely and the buds are putting on weight

Esa familia, abrimos nuevo diario, y os traemos unas candy caramelo fast floración, del banco zambezaseeds. 3/3 un germinado perfecto, ph controlado desde el principio, veremos que tal se comportan bajo un led. . Mars hydro ts-600 code discount: an420 No olvidéis que sin ellos esto no es posible 🙏. Esta semana no usaremos ningún producto, empezaremos abonarlas con advanced nutrients a partir de la segunda semana, mientras os dejo unos vídeos y fotos para que veáis el proceso, un saludo fumetillas.

Day 63: Moving right along. Her buds smell like sour candy, it's really inviting. I'm sure the terps will keep evolving as well. Nearing the end here, very excited for this harvest! Day 66: I'm very happy with the bud growth so far, nothing more to say! Grow on. Day 67: Watered another 4L of ph'd tap water. Checked trichomes and I don't see that much amber. Lots clear trichs still and some cloudy on the more developed bud sites. Day 69: Took some pics and a video under natural light today to show off her colors and man does she look phenomenal. The buds look like fruity pebbles and smell sweet and dank. Some more fan leaves are developing some orange colors which leads me to believe that her fade is starting soon. Cannot wait for this harvest!

Hiya Day 40 today. 09.06. still some problems (as you can see on the most of the leaves). but we will get this to an end and the smell is already amazing. really sweet aroma in the tent and I´m already excited what the smoke will taste like. this week only water. and maybe the last PK boost next week. fingers crossed 😅 happy growing my friends.

Tag 78 : + 2L Flaschenwasser ++ Dünger mit wenig CalMag + final PH 6.10 + Abends Tag 79: Trichome an den äusseren Buds aufgenommen . Ende der Woche ist Erntezeit . Video hinzugefügt. Tag 80: es war heute echt mal 44%rH und das bei normalen Temperaturen . Tag 81: Komplette Entlaubung und Vorbereitung zur Ernte . Bleibt noch die Nacht so im Stofftopf (fast trocken) . Tag 82: Ach ich hab mich doch mal entschlossen mit 1.5 Liter Flaschenwasser + CalMag ein paar Spülungstage zu machen . Dieses im Vegetativen Zelt mit der 100W von Spiderfarmer auf extrem niveau (25cm Abstand) . DAs ballert nochmal schön auf die Trichome .

so one more week and we are getting closer and closer to the end, i think 2 mb 3 more weeks <3 the colors and the smels are starting to show of and i'm teling you, its like going tru a field of strawberrys planted in the midle of pine trees with a sweet breese of caramel in the air pumping some citrics in the midle. i wish i could some how make you guys smell this and dream for your selfs :) Man i miss this, it wass to long since my last time growing and i'm loving my girls and the way they look and smell so far. Big love to you all and keep tunned for more upgrades with videos and photos. Peace out D

This week has been going good I think I will be chopping some of the buds off of her within the next week to start the drying and curing process im going to try my hand at cloning this lady.

Growing the famous Alien OG by The Cali Connection, highly recommended, not just the strain but the Breeder themselves. I will be putting alot more effort into my diaries and try to provide you guys as much detail as possible all the way until harvest. Any questions guys just ask Thanks & Happy Growing 💚👍🏾🌱
