We skipped a week of documenting, life got in the way.... She wasn't a big plant, we expected her to stay small after topping at the first node like that, it was a nice little experiment and i'm glad we let her grow, she made for a nice little side stash and break from the strain we've been on ... happy growing everyone!

PH ziemi się stabilizuje i to dobra wiadomość:-). Niestety to automaty i pewnie rzeczy są już nie do odrobienia. Prawdopodobnie za szybko były podlewane, trzeba poczekać aż ziemia przeschnie dokładnie. Przy następnej uprawie zwrócę na t6o szczególna uwagę. Jeden Chemdogging wygląda dobrze jeśli chodzi o wielkość rozłożenie, reszta słabo

One seedling streched a bit, but thats not a problem. Besides that, everything went great! 3/3 Germination rate I am very excited to see the ladys grow. We couldnt order our grow equipment, so we started the plants on the Windowstill.

Water only this week. The dank is beginning to come out. The buds are sticky and getting louder by the day. I can't really say anything that the video doesn't. This is the point where the work we do at the beginning of the grow pays off in a bit of relaxation time for a few weeks before harvest. This is only week 5 of flower, so the girls have some time left. I'm starting to get excited now!

Week 6 is going good, all are in flower and looking ok. Purple Punch flowers look a little small but hoping to see them swell as she looks to be done stretching. Starting to see some frost forming on Zkittlez and OG Kush. Pink Kush has some beautiful, almost black color. Lights are 18/6. No nutes. PH 6.5 water.

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.😍😍😍

Hi everyone 😊😃 Welcome in my another week update. Hope all started week well. Thank you again for such a great support 😊💚 So far everything going smooth. Both girls are developing almost at the same speed. It's not a super rapid growth yet but it's steady. Planning to apply LST in coming days. Please stay tuned for daily updates and uploads. Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚 Wishing everyone a very happy and successful week ✨🍀✨ 31/10 day 23 Happy Halloween 👻👻👻 Girls have something special for tonight. First time ever they will have a chance to try in starter size portion at first bio grow and fish mix. Watering 400ml per pot. 01/11 day 24 Spend some time with my girls today 😁 added about an inch of soil to each pot and applied LST on main colas. Who knows maybe they will be ready for scrog next week 02/11 day 25 I was amazed when opened cabinet in the morning. Girls showed no signs of any stress from previous day LST. They bounced back right away and growing still in steady manner. Decided to add 2 never use before nutes to menu, Sugar royal from Plagron and Bio haveven from Biobizz. At first just low dosage 0.25ml per ltr. Watered appreciate 400ml each pot. 04/11 day 27 I like how they responded to training. Decided to adjust tie closer to the top of main cola and lowered girls a bit more. Noticed a speed up in general development. Started tucking leaves couple days ago. 05/11 day 28 It's the end of the week Today another foliage shower water + fish mix. I can see that girls like this a lot. Thank you all for such amazing support Love you all 😊✌️💚 Another week update coming very soon 😎✨🍀✨

THC Bomb from bomb seeds has been steadily putting on weight this week. The bulking is happening now. I had to reduce my bloom nutrition a pinch was dragging my ph down it was too strong. So slightly backed off. Waiting to see how much she fills out in next 2 weeks. 🤞 a lot. Thanks again bomb seeds. 🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the support.
