On the final few days of a 10 day flush. Will be chopping down this week to harvest and hang dry. Really excited to try this one. The smells in the room are unreal.

Week 9 and Tropicana Cookies is entering the final stage beautifully. The flowers have continued to stack while maintaining excellent resin production, with dense trichome coverage extending well onto the sugar leaves. Buds are becoming noticeably firmer, and the plant is starting to show the first signs of natural fade as it approaches maturity. The open structure created by the training has provided great light penetration and airflow, allowing every top to develop evenly. Aromas have become much more pronounced, with the classic citrus profile beginning to blend with sweet tropical notes and a subtle cookie-like background. Nutrient levels have remained stable throughout the week, and the plant is finishing cleanly with no major issues. Now it's simply a matter of letting the flowers fully mature and monitoring trichome development to harvest at the ideal moment. Seeds by World Breeders Cultivated by Piperoots 🇲🇦 🌱🔥

Hello guys! Here we are with another week... At the end she was indeed flowering already, due to the stress and, I guess, some heat issues in the tent... Well, so we start seeing some very awesome, little purple flowers popping out everywhere. I'm still using LST technique to better fill up the tent, as well as defoliating some fan leaves. I also finally moved her to the 20 liters pot, and soon gonna be in the tent alone, as the other diary I have, the gigantic Glue Galato, it's almost getting to an end. I've started the flowering nuts dosages and for now all looks pretty fine, there's any sign of deficiency! I'll keep you posted with what, in my opinion, seems to be a funny diary, thanks to this incredible strain. Stay tuned and stay high!

Hallo zusammen, Woche 7: Läuft alles wunderbar, super Strain! Ph beider Pflanzen kommt langsam in den 6,8 Bereich, die vermeintliche Überdüngung relativiert sich, wobei ich so langsam glaube das es eher ein Lichtstress war, als die #2 noch größer als die #1 und näher am Licht stand

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.😍😍😍

Week 14! I am starting to get really excited about this plant! She is plumping up and producing a lot of trichomes! Smell is very enjoyable. Fruity, sweet and lemony are smells that come to mind. Doing minor defoliation if I see leaves shading buds.

The ladies are doing very well. From this week onwards, 1ml BioGrow and 1ml Cal Mag (per 1 liter) are added to the water. -06.02.2025 The positions of the plants in the tent were swapped. The smaller ones in the middle and the larger ones on the outside. -09.02.2025 Last day of the second week of vegetation. The plants look very good overall. So far I am quite satisfied with the growth.

Doubling up on the nutrients, starting to see some progress.

07.09.2024 Erntezeit! Ich werde weiter berichten. 31.10 letztes Update mit den Videos.

Finally decided to sow these seeds from the diary "Sensi Seeds Durban V1" crossed with Sensi Skunk Regular Male. I will be vegging these girls hopefully until the dry seasons starts here late January 2025 Jah will.

End of week 5. Plants have grown a lot. Nice stretch last week. Nice bushy plants, make sure to do defoliation .these will take longer than the other FastBuds strains I have going at the same time. Lights and genetics working great

Esta fue mi primera cosecha y quede muy contento con el resultado al igual que con la comunidad de growdiaries

This has by far been the most stressful part of the grow. as I'm trying to increase yield as much as possible, and in doing so f£&ked around and found out the hard way. She has gone into what I would say is severe shock this on the 31/1/25 will be the 3rd day of shock hopefully she can pull through and start growing again 🙏 🤞
