anfang woche 6...suoer boof bekommt richtig dicke buds...pina colada auch ganz nice... bakerman wird ne gasige indica und cinderella99 wird sehr wenig abgeben aber hoffentlich dafür nen guten Geschmack haben...fange ab der 7. woche an mit leitungswasser zu gießen...momentan mische ich LW mit RO auf ec0.2 und gebe calmag bis ec 0.38...nächster grow evtl auf coco probieren. die erde lässt sich schwer spülen bzw dauert ...momentan ist der drain ec bei 1.7 bis 1.8 je nach pflanze...kommen alle gut damit klar...ich nehme 2.0 als obergrenze für ec mit dünger...bis zur nächsten Woche ✌️✌️

Oh it was a special week. Day 21 of flower marks the Silver Back Guerilla defoliation day!!!! I left one be. For him. To prove me wrong. BUT!!! That one had some dead leaves at the bottom that needed removal, not the defoliated plants!! Time will tell as to if what Im doing is right. I stick to my guns that this works for my room. Even though I read differently, removal of foliage has lowered my rh. Could very well be outside environment, however. By day 21F the room was a bush again. In my opinion, it needed the heavy defo to breathe. As for light penetration, I am extremely happy with the amount of heads receiving direct light. Im a pig in shit Thanks for looking, I dont want to hear your opinion on defo or schawazze, unless youre SBG

Week 13. This beauty is almost ready, and next week it’ll be harvest time. Another two liters of water this week. Thankfully, the top buds have gained a bit more density. The smell is absolutely amazing. It won’t be long now! Stay tuned!

week 3 is a tough rn not gonna lie shes yellowing extremely fast and shes begging me for potassium. i was just giving her 2 tsps to 3 gallons of water. as of today (jan 8 2022) i gave her a feed of 1 and 1/4 bloom and 1/4 veg nutes to try to fight the yellowing. i honestly dont know if that was the right thing to do most threads i read just said to add some nitrogen but idk if dyna gros bloom and grow are meant to be mixed. especially this late in flower. either way its too late i already gave it to her i guess now all i can do is wait and see what happens. you can see how fast the yellowing is happening too.

IT'S A FEMALE.!! :D....Pre Flowers showing the white hairs. Flushed her last night with PH'd Cal-Mag, Will add Nutes again with next watering. Will keep this in Veg for a week or 2 more then switch to flower.

.

There was a whole lot of buds off this plant and they are dense . Totaling around a pound dry I lost a good sized chunk to pm in the bottom of the canopy due to weather . Even with ipm I still had problems . Besides that there was nothing wrong with her it was a quick germinating plant that had a solid start indoor early in the season . Once she went outdoors into a 5-7 gallon pot the final place saw it in a 7 gallon to the garden box . That have the roots room to grow . I gave the plant miicrobialmass since day one and was in pro mixbx soil . The nutrients were synthetics and organic bit I finished her off with the organic line up dutch science nutrients . The flush lasted about a week mostly because it was grown outdoors with minimal nutrients added as is .. the end results were great smoke which yielded strong medical buds and lots of sugar leaves for edibles .. thx dinafem for the chance to run your gear. I've never been disappointed with the genetics or their customer service .The next one I'm running will be Remo chemo and possibly the ocean grown too the choice is always hard

Very good plant to grow 8/10 for me 💯💯🔥 very high yielding with a crazy yield of 131grams of 1 plant very tall and skinny but dense buds 🙏🏽

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! 🌱💪😂

Wedding Gelato is growing beautifully, great branch development, I gave her the pre flower clean up to remove lower branches and leaves to increase the airflow and prevent running into problems in the lower area. The plant is doing amazing, she gets water + SuperVit by RQS like all the others, no fertilizer just living soil by Sonnenerde.

The plants officially entered the explosive period of the growth. They're absolutely loving life, and despite the overexposed colour in the photos their green is absolutely healthy. They are growing low and bushy, which is perfect because I want to mainline all of them At the end of week 3 the plants are almost ready for the first topping, as you can see they doubled in size in just 3 days.

The fourth week of flowering has come to an end, and the plants are now fully focused on building flowers. The bud sites continue to develop steadily, and the first noticeable layer of trichomes is beginning to cover the buds. On some plants, the resin production has become so vigorous that even the fan leaves are starting to develop a visible coating of frost—a promising sign of what's to come in the weeks ahead. The slight yellowing on the taller plants has not improved yet. As a precaution, I raised the light by another 5 cm to reduce the intensity at the top of the canopy. Over the next few days, I'll monitor their response closely and adjust further if necessary. Aside from the mild yellowing, the plants appear healthy and continue to produce dense, increasingly frosty flowers. I also carried out a small amount of selective defoliation throughout the week, removing only the occasional large fan leaf that was shading developing bud sites. This time, I took a very conservative approach, avoiding unnecessary stress and allowing the plants to direct their energy toward flower production. The biggest challenge this week was the ongoing heatwave. Fortunately, my air conditioning unit kept the tent temperature below 29°C. While that is a little warmer than I would ideally like during mid-flowering, it remains well within an acceptable range and doesn't appear to be affecting the plants negatively. With the garden settling into its rhythm, patience becomes the most important tool. The flowers are becoming noticeably frostier each day, and the unique characteristics of each cultivar are beginning to emerge. Now I'm just hoping the heatwave passes soon so the weather returns to normal and the plants can finish this stage under more comfortable conditions.

Sat 7/8: - Transplanted a runted Purple Lemonade auto into a small plastic pot (1/2 litre), from 3 gal fabric pot. Put it back in the veg tent where there is more room. It is wasting space in the flowering tent. Suspect over watering early on as issue. - Shifted a Grapefruit auto from the veg tent to the flowering tent to replace the Purple Lemonade. A little early, so it is on a pedestal to reach the canopy. - Planted a Fastberry and a Gorilla Cookie auto. - Harvested 20g wet from the CBD20:1 (8w). Sun 8/8: - Changed light cycle from 18/6 to 20/4. - Fed plants, varying mixture by plant age. CBD20:1 is now only on water at every feed. - Tied main stem down on Grapefruit auto (3w). - Set up endoscope camera to capture the Grapefruit response to LST. - Continued lollipopping Strawberry Pie (5w) and Kosher Cake(4w). Tues 10/8: - both the Gorilla Cookie and the Fastberry seeds popped. I’ve put them under icecream containers in the veg tent so they don’t dry out too quickly. Wed 11/8: - Small targeted watering with no feed. Thurs 12/8: - feed plants that needed to be watered. Sat 14/8: - Harvested the remaining CBD20:1 at 9 weeks, 73g wet - Harvested undersized Lemon Pie at 8 weeks, 26g wet. - Planted a Gelato auto and a Wedding Cheesecake auto from Fast Buds.

GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 16 Veg | Heatwave Incoming, Drinking Even Harder She's now at 135cm and still climbing, with day temps already hitting 29°C this past week and nights staying mild at 15°C. Watering volume has doubled again — 10L per feed now, up from 5L last week. At this size and in this heat she's pulling everything she can get. Did another round of defoliation this week, clearing out some of the larger fan leaves shading the lower bud sites. With a canopy this dense, keeping airflow and light moving through the lower half matters more with every week — especially heading into a stretch of hot, still air. Canopy remains dark green and even across the board — no deficiencies, no stress signs, just steady bulk and structure. The earlier LST work continues to pay off in how clean the light penetration looks through the mid canopy now that it's been opened up further. Nutrients unchanged: CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH 6.2. The week ahead is looking like a genuine heatwave — highs around 34°C with partly cloudy skies, lows staying mild near 19°C overnight. Going to need to keep a close eye on watering frequency and root zone temps if this holds. At 17 hours of daylight she's got plenty of energy to put into growth, but heat stress is the thing to watch for now rather than cold. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned. 🌿

my guanokalong powders (bat guano) NPK 1-10-1 guanokalong palm tree ashes NPK 0-1-30 I want to make compost tea PK Booster. and I reduced the lamp from 1000W to 600W on 5 week of flowering because i have temp porblem

Another week closer... Everything is growing great, no problems with this run so far., This last week we found a Male plant, this is what happens when you grow from seed...sucks..but thats ok it happens. So its out of the grow room and everything is back to normal.. The smell is starting to get stronger, love it, it smells great....well thats about it.. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.

Fed some straight pk the other day.

Switched one generic t8 8w led for a t8 9w grow led. Plants have responded well to the change. Will give the plants a few more days before moving them down to the 2nd grow chamber with double the lights. Will leave the small ones in the current chamber until they recover and catch up. USB Desktop fan seems to be too directional. WIll adjust so that the airflow is a bit more uniform.
