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! 🌱💪😂

Everything’s going smooth, just like her little sister! Flipped to 12/12 yesterday. Got a few cacti in bloom too, figured it was the perfect time to throw them in with the Tropicana for that desert vibe.

Just giving them water waiting for them to fade out more

Watering/ feeding every 4 day's... Alternating feed and water... Keeping it simple

This thing was a monster will re run it now this weather is done! Really nice smell and easy to grow I’ll do a real update when this drys out

Gorilla Zkittles is looking the strongest and biggest so far but all 7 seem pretty healthy. Best smells coming from the Purple Strawberry Sherbert, wow something else🤤🤤🤤 the temperatures are dropping and nighttime’s are soon gonna be to cold in my little room. Possibly another timed heater to go in there to come on as the lights fade. Humidity almost under control i think I should be able to keep the tent at or around 50% fingers crossed, but that’s another few pence on electricity😕.

This week will be the last week I make a flush on this girls 5 days ago and I still waiting the day cut! The smell of this plant is amazing

This week is been great. I started with high ppm on the 2nd week for the nutrient kick , now just a low dose of growth enhancer. Good roots system. Topped them just 1 time and cleaning them from useless leafs. Using reverse osmosis water (15ppm)

Fat Bastard Auto by MSNL 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W5F2 7/27-8/2 This week I’m still trying to resolve lockout issues on two other plants in the tent by lowering the feed solution ph. I usually ph down the water to 6.6-6.8 and discovered the soil ph rose to +9. This high alkaline status contributed, if not caused the nutrient lockout. This week, I lowered the intake ph to 6.35. This reduced the runoff ph to 7.0-7.82. On 7/30 I saw spots on Fat Bastard. It appears she has been affected by the high ph in the nutrient solution. When I discovered the spots, I put her in the bathtub and flushed her with 2 gallons. 7/31 more spots so I flushed another gallon. Let’s see if I caught and stopped the problems in time. I have been watering 1500 ml with 100ml run off. This is low and I will Increase water to 1750ml next time. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Week 12 is begonnen. Ze heeft niet lang meer te gaan, dus vanaf vandaag 19 juli krijgt ze alleen nog maar Spa Reine mineraalwater. Dit om overtollige metalen en mineralen weg te spoelen wat de smaak ten goede komt. It contains no carbonation and has a very low amount of minerals. Ze ziet er echt heerlijk uit, de toppen worden zwaar en ze begint steeds meer door te leunen naar één kant. Het past allemaal net aan in de tent. Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten dus hou het in de gaten 🧐 Dag 21: ik heb de hoofdstam vastgebonden want ze leunt naar een kant omdat ze te zwaar wordt. To be continued....

Her leaves are forming perfect…you can see the kush genetics from her broad leaves.

This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 93°F with sunny clear skies. I watered 4-5 gallons each pot twice, from the well. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 95°F with clear sunny skies. It was super hot today. I watered each pot 4-5 gallons twice. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 95°F. It felt like 97°F. We had super clear sunny skies. The girls are loving the sunshine and slightly less humidity. I watered twice @4-5 gallons per pot. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 90°F with super clear sunny skies. The temperature was more comfortable at 90° today because we had less humidity. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot from the well. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 81°F with partly cloudy skies. The girls are still thirsty. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. These girls roots have tapped through these pots and into the soil. Unless it's just super hot watering once is enough. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 83° with clear sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons once per pot. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 79°F with clear sunny skies. I watered once 4-5 gallons of well water per pot. The girls are thirsty but the heat isn't sucking the water out of the pots. The girls are in full vegative phase 2 and continue to gain height. This week was a great success. The girls really stretched. The middle height plant is at 100 inches. I'm on my ladder on my tip toes and I can't reach the very top with the tape. The tallest plant looks about 12" taller. The weather was very pleasant. We had a few hot days but mostly cool fall type weather. The defoliation and treatment of powdery mildew with Growers Ally fungicide ended that problem. These plants do have a high level of resistance but not immunity. I'll continue to treat once a week. Most growers don't talk about their fungal pathogens or treatment of them. Outdoors, if your plants aren't immune (many fastbuds I've grown from seed have been) then this is an issue you'll deal with if you have cool humid nights. There are many treatments and preventatives and some are scarey. My grows are all organic and I carefully chose Growers Ally fungicide as I smoke these plants and don't want anything scarey in(systemic) or on them. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow.

30.07. White Runtz Day 92# The plant was at the end of its thirteenth week yesterday and slowly started to enter preflower. She was fed yesterday, and the next two waterings only use clean water to eat what's in the ground, and I'm switching to bloom and boost so she doesn't stretch too much...there's enough nitrogen for stretching, if she needs it, let her pull it out of the leaves. The weather has returned to normal with the fact that the nights are a little colder, going up to 14 c Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Another week passes and it's official.I will never ever know what strain this is smh .. i feel like she has a few weeks at minimum left so I gave her some green sensation in hopes of helping her bulk up .. hope everyone is doing well.God bless and happy growing ✌️

Tag 63: Die Triple G bereitet mir Kopfschmerzen, sie hat sich enorm gestreckt. Ich habe kaum noch Platz für die Lampe.😱 Die Pflanze hat nur wenig Blütenansätzen, das Gießen dauert ewig. 😨 Tag 65: ein letztes Mal habe ich die Lampe höher gestellt, mehr geht nicht. Aber glücklicherweise geht die Triple G auch nun endlich in die breite 😌

Despite no A/C in the spot temporarily, things are going perfectly fine, no complaints! Thank goodness I’m just vegging. Temps have been around 87 ish, but the plants seem to love it.

She’s getting updated more often on Instagram the tags @smokeygrow_ …..This week iv let her do her own thing she’s loving the Phlizon pl1000 hopefully get her under the 2020 240w pro soon the colours on this girl are unreal really showing her full potential I seriously think this is one of the nicest colours iv seen in the actual nugget it’s self 🍓🥤 what do you think 💭

_______________________________________________________________________ Nun, mit 20-30g pro Pflanze habe ich mich dann ja wohl doch etwas verschätzt. Es sind ziemlich genau 62g pro Pflanze an Trocken-Ertrag bei rum gekommen. Leider habe ich vergessen nach der Ernte das Nassgesicht zu prüfen. Insgesamt ist unser aller erster grow für mein Verständnis gut bis sehr gut gelaufen. Mit 124G trocken Ernte kann sich das auf jeden Fall sehen lasen. Bin super happy. Dazu kommt noch der Grow von meinem Bruder. Hier kam insgesamt etwas weniger aber dennoch gute 110G bei rum. Damit hätten wir ein gut, bis sehr gutes Gramm pro Watt Verhältnis von von 1,17 g/W. Mit 4 Pflanzen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden hab. Und wenn ich nur meine 2 Pflanzen auf einem halben m² mit der halben Leistung der Lampe von 100w rechnen würde. Hätte ich ein noch besseres Verhältnis von sehr guten 1,24 g/W. Dazu haben wir von beiden Sorten noch ordentlich Verschnitt mit überaus Trichomreichen Suggerleafs. Der Grow lief für uns eigentlich sehr sehr chillig. Nur das Wetter war unser Feind. Wir hatten bis jetzt einen eher ungünstigen, wechselhaften Sommer. Teilweise bis zu 33° und 85% Luftfeuchtigkeit während der Trocknung. Dann wiederum auch Tage oder nächte wo es wieder auf 22° runterfällt. In den GroveBags zeigen die Hygrometer nach 2 Tagen immer noch nur etwa 53% an. Das heißt wir konnten die Bedingungen nie optimal halten und es ist etwas zu trocken. Gott sei Dank hatten wir aber weder Probleme mit Schimmel oder Schädlingen. Man kann beide Sorten jetzt schon prima im Joint oder in der Bong rauchen. Es ist weder kratzig noch schmeckt es irgendwie komisch. Im Gegenteil. Mal schauen wie es nach dem Curen aussieht. Zur Honey Peach Auto CBD von meinem Bruder: Mein Bruder hat keinerlei Training betrieben. Nur sehr viel entlaubt. Die beiden Pflanzen haben sich sehr unterschieden. Aber beide haben sehr fluffige Buds produziert. Die Wirkung ist eher milder und lässt einen Produktiv und Kreativ werden ohne super high zus ein. Jetzt nach dem Trocknen reicht es eher Erdig mit ein Paar fruchtigen Noten. Zu meinen +Speed Auto: Ich habe nur LST angewendet. Und dazu mehrmals entlaubt. Abgesehen davon das eine der beiden etwas größer wurde haben sich beide ziemlich gleich entwickelt. Die Buds bei beiden Pflanzen sind sehr homogen und gleichbleibend gut, egal ob Headbud oder nicht. Die Wirkung ist sehr ausgeglichen und stark genug um stunden high zu bleiben ohne abzuheben. Der Geruch ist zimlich intensiv,sehr zitronig mit einem erdigen abgang. ----Nachtrag nach dem Curen---- Nach dem der Ertrag 2 Wochen in den GroveBags Curen konnten sin dsie wie erwartet etwas "Steiniger". Riechen tuts wie am Tag der Ernte und erfüllt den ganzen Raum. Auch eher klassisch im Geruch. Das High ist stark und ist sehr ausgeglichen zu Körper und Geist. Ohne dabei abzuheben oder down zu gehen. Meine Headbuds sind zwar nicht die größten, aber im Vergleich gibt es sicher viele die weniger Glück hatten. Wer eine kleinwüchsige, ertragreiche, robuste und relativ schnellwachsende Genetik sucht, ist hier richtig. _________________________________________________________________________
