9-9 Recharge 750 ml Removed first leaves, bud site not ready. 9-11 Day 17 She was getting kinda tall, so over she bends! She was stubborn, but resistance is futile! Bent the day before water. 9-12 Big water, around 2-2.5 liters. Brought soil to where it should be. Will try to maintain 45-55% on eco witt. 9-14 This thing is growing great! Little sad I had to remove a top leaf. Just no way around it. Pistols for 3-4 days. Starting flower tomorrow and top dressing! Lets go! Leafs up!

Buenas tardes familia , de vuelta actualizamos una semana más estás crazy cookies, es una variedad bastante sativa con cogollos bastante grandes, no creo que les quede muchas semanas pero una de ellas partió por el peso y tuve que poner más tutores. Seguimos controlando el ph, la humedad y la temperatura están bien. Tallo medio, pero es una genética bastante frondosa y con muchos brazos laterales. Tienen un aroma muy peculiar, estoy deseando que estén listas para ver los resultados finales pero, son de floración bastante lenta, un saludo nos vemos la semana que viene fumetillas.

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.😍😍😍

23.06 Day 59 of bloom, from now on I check the trichomes more often. 26.06 Cleaned the tank and prepared a new solution, to flush the plants, since I see enough amber trichomes developing. I still add some major nutrients. EC level is at 0.6. I will continue to flush until 04.07 - day 70 of bloom, afterwards I will waterstress them, if they are not ready already.

Put a lot of love into this grow. She grew for 4 months from seeds to harvest. About 5 weeks and 56 days of flower. Overall great strain to grow and great site @growdiaries for giving the platform and help from other growers. I’ve learned so much about growing and especially about this strain.

Hey everyone Slow and steady, she is getting a little thicker but not sure overall what she is going to produce. I’m just happy she grew and has been healthy besides the stress in the beginning.

-Esta semana simplemente las he regado un par de veces con un litro y medio cada una. -A una de las GG ya estoy haciéndole el flush final -Empiezan a enfermarse las hojas. Puede ser falta de calcio, potasio, magnesio...no lo se. Les he echado uns buena dosis de potasio y las que están más afectadas les he echado sgua limpia y un poco de potasio. -una de las GG le falta poco para cortar. El resto les quedará poco menos de un mes

I believe they have finally stopped stretching!! I love this strain🙌🏽🙌🏽. I lst these babies and the still stretched to nearly 5 ft tall. The main cola from CF#3 is only 3 inches away from the light 😱, however it's been about 3 or 4 days and I'm not seeing and signs of bleaching or it turning white. It appears to be normal, so I have not bothered to tie it down. The rest of the colas are about 10 to 15 inches away from the light. Between the 4 plants I'd say there are 30 to 40 different cola heads. They continue to get fatter every day. I have 2 trellis nets up and may have to pull up the top trellis to support the colas as they fatten. I upped the nutes to 1-2-3, gro, micro,Bloom mixed into 3 gallons. They are sucking up water a bit faster as well. I am having to see them every other day.

5/22 - fed and watered, some of the lower leaves are yellowing again and she's quite lightweight. She dries out quick, maybe from being in small 1 gallon container. Gave her about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes. Also raised the light about 5 inches. 5/25 - looking a bit droopy, fed and watered, gave about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes, and trimmed off the yellowing leaves

2/18 - Harvest time in a few days for 3 of them Random pictures taken of the grow from the last couple weeks. Just keeping them in water and nutes. Really not feeding much to the ones I’m harvesting. Sitting around watching them, planning the dry cure All the clones came through like champs even in shitty rockwool cubes I used. Gave a few away to a friend. I’ll do individual reviews of the strains I grew next few weeks but this overall coco in DWC grow has gone great. Especially considering how lazy I was purposely this grow as I got back into things. Takeaways: -The winner of this run of 5 strains was the Tropicana cookies Auto. By far. Awesome plant, huge fruity buds. -The amnesia haze grew weird. 3’ and only3 bladed leaves. Is a genetics issue w phenotype, see pic 5. -Also I got a bad genetic pheno of gorilla cookie FF where it stays unnaturally short. See pic 10. - original glue autoflowers produced a lot, but not a keeper for me. I got 2 way different phenotypes. Meh - The strawberry gorilla turned into a bush. Not for me Buds grew not to my taste or style. I’m just picky but I would only grow the Trop Cookies again out of these strains. Growing a Purple Lemonade FF next that I have high hopes for 😜 DWC for the win Laters. 👋

After super cropping plant responded very well, growing faster and stronger. This is my first time using this technique and it is the bestest way I found to have a nice looking yield

Another good week in the bag. The girls are getting water every day. The shortest one drinks the most. Interesting. They have a sugary smell to them. It's hard to describe. I'll be interested in the final smell. I decided to bust out the microacope and to my surprise the trichomes are pretty milky already! It's only been five weeks! Will monitor to see the amber but still for this early! Started using the UVB! Started at 30 minutes for a few days. Now at one hour. The tests started at two hours at three weeks out which would be now. So gonna increase tomorrow another thirty and continue to ramp up.

🌱 Eternity Cup 2025 – Woche 6 Update 🔥 Unser Eternity Cup 2025 Grow, powered by Zamnesia & Plagron, geht in die nächste Runde! 🚀 Die Runtz Autoflowers unter der Evo 301 (Samsung Chips, 180W) zeigen jetzt deutliche Unterschiede – jede Pflanze entwickelt sich nach ihrem eigenen Tempo. 🌿 🔍 Setup & Entwicklung nach 6 Wochen: 🌿 #1 – 20L Topf, nicht getoppt, aber LST Diese Dame steht jetzt voll in der Blüte! 🌸 Dank des großen Topfes hat sie sich super entwickelt, schöne Buds setzen sich langsam an. Sie bleibt stabil und gesund – die LST-Methode zahlt sich aus! ✅ 🌿 #2 – 8L Topf, getoppt & LST Während die anderen zwei sich voll auf die Blüte konzentrieren, legt #2 nochmal ordentlich in die Breite zu! 📏 Das Topping und LST zeigen ihre Wirkung – die Pflanze bleibt kompakt, aber buschig. Die ersten Blütenansätze sind zu sehen, aber sie nimmt sich weiter etwas mehr Zeit. 🌱 🌿 #3 – 8L Topf, nicht getoppt, kein Training Genau wie #1 steht auch diese Pflanze voll in der Blüte! 🌸 Sie ist von Natur aus etwas höher gewachsen und beginnt jetzt, schöne Buds auszubilden. 🌱 Fazit nach Woche 6: Die ungetoppten #1 & #3 sind mitten in der Blüte, während #2 sich weiter in die Breite entwickelt und noch ein wenig hinterherhinkt. 🌱💪 Aber alle drei sind kerngesund, und es bleibt spannend zu sehen, ob sich das Wachstum von #2 am Ende durch höhere Buddichte auszahlt! ➡️ Wie wird sich der Blütenaufbau in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln? Bleibt #2 länger in der Vegi? Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden! Stay tuned für Woche 7! 🔥 Update vom 25.02 die explodieren ich muss das Zelt wechseln maximal 1 Woche noch und sie kommen in das doppelt so große Zelt !!! Ich bin so Happy bitte schaut euch #1,#3 an das sind Autos #EternityCup2025 #Zamnesia #Plagron #GrowDiaries #RuntzAuto #Homegrow #CannabisCommunity
