…

The plants grew well this week, as did all the clones. Any extra rooted clones have been planted outdoors as a further experiment. We moved all the clones into a Veg room. Even though the large room is not in flower and still also in veg, we had to separate the plants due to lack of space. Also setting up for mother, clones and SOG in the future. The plants were defoliated and training continued. There are 2 weeks of Veg left hoping to have some very large plants for flowering. Aiming for large flowers.

Here we goooo! Etsy seeds here we come. So far have been happy with them.

Hello growers day 42 in the garden with the crystal candy and red poison autos another easy week all girls are doing very well the red poison are starting to buff up now the red poison that’s not red is now the tallest girl in the tent all 4 crystal candy are budding up nicely like I said not been doing much to them just feeding 2L every couple of days to each girl and that are fine so until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

So this week has really absolutely crawled by from my perspective, I imagine it is common with growing that the closer you get to harvest the further away it seems. Anyway I am a bit worried about the middle sized plant - she has a lot more yellowing of fan leaves from the inside out. My reaction to this was to flush her with clean water, my thinking is that everything was fine before I started feeding, and perhaps I didn't mix properly and the soluble stuff was unevenly distributed. That was yesterday (week 6 day 4) It's too soon to tell if this has helped, fingers crossed it doesn't begin to affect other leaves. Despite this being only 5 days into week 6, there have already been fairly drastic changes. Some of the buds are starting to fatten more, and I'd say we're at about 15% pistils amber now, the smell has noticeably increased day by day. It's really beautiful to look the plants in the dark with a flashlight or phone light, the way the light bounces off the frosting of trichomes, as if someone had sneaked in the middle of the night and misted my plants with a million tiny diamonds. I think I will stop feeding the middle plant now and water only (unless it gets worse). The other two I will continue to feed until the end of this week. At the rate of accelerated change I suspect harvest time may not be too long past the end of next week. It's a shame they don't have much more time to grow but at least what small quantity does come from them, I am determined it is harvested at the right time. At the end of week six I have watered only as I now think these plants are maybe 7-12 days away from harvest.

Marker is thriving, with a healthy appetite. I pruned some large lower leaves, and that's all for now! Everything seems on track! 🌿👍

Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

Plants are growing well. set up veg tent with new ac infinity tent and fan.

Today is day 85 and all looks good... the Gummiebears is huge and is starting to get some awesome purple colors in the fan leaves .. the Froot by the foot is nearing her last 2 weeks as we flush her and Grease Gun... Cream is still stacking hard but her and Gummiebears days are numbered then it's their time for flushing...hopefully 3 weeks and all are done ... happy growing ✌️. I took the 4 colas off the Gummiebears as they were so close to the light and were finished...now I have an even canopy I can turn the light up on and harden those buds up ✌️. Update...3 of the 4 are chopped and hanging... Gummiebears being the only one still up but shes about to come down in a day or so..I will update with individual harvest for each plant ... I have no carbon filter just fans so my landlord called saying everywhere stinks like weed 😂 ..ooops ... Can't get umm in grove bags soon enough.. updates should be soon. Stay tuned.. All are harvested updates on all strains coming soon

Si presenta bene veramente bene ...un po' lenta nel gonfiarsi ma promette bene. È piena di tricomi e presenta popcorn rosa e arancioni. Ora devo solo aspettare il mio nuovo giocattolo mars hydro ts 1000 sicuramente avrà una marcia in più! Alla prossima settimana Dajeforte growers!

1/12/26 4:18AM MONDAY.....💪💪💪💪👌 1/12 CANNAKAN DAY EDICINAL 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! 🌱💪😂

Englischversion below Deutsch: Tag 16 Veg: LST und Topping sind die Schritte die jetzt anstehen. LST muss täglich wenn nicht sogar mehrfach täglich ausgeführt und kontrolliert werden, um zu gewährleisten, dass die gewünschte Pflanzenstruktur erstellt wird. Wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist, hat die Dame vorne links weniger Triebe. Beim Training hat sich einer bereits verabschiedet (Durch Unachtsamkeit) und ein Trieb entwickelte sich einfach nicht und wurde entfernt. Beim LST versuche in jeden Trieb in eine eigene Richtung zu biegen und dann senkrecht zum Boden auszurichten. Ich warte noch 2 Tage bis zum nächsten Topping - zum einen, damit der Stress auf die Pflanze verteilt wird, zum anderen weil der Wachstum einiger Triebe der schwächeren Pflanzen noch nicht so weit sind. der VPD liegt zwischen 0.44 und 0.68 - für die frühe Wachstumsphase ideal - das ist auch am Wachstum der Pflanzen zu erkennen. Tag 17 Veg: Heute früh wurde zum 2ten Mal, diesmal an der ersten entstandenen Nodie, getoppt. Nur bei den Obeneren Trieben wurde gewartet, da diese noch zu jung waren. Warum habe ich trotzdem die unteren Triebe getoppt? - Erstmal macht es sinn den hohen Stress auf ein paar Tage zu verteilen, außerdem möchte ich eine Gewisse Struktur erreichen. Vor und nach der überliebenden Nodie sind Erdanker gesetzt um die Triebe in Position zu halten. Tag 19 Veg: Heute gibt es wieder ca. 1-1,2L Flüssigkeit mit 6,3 PH und 1ml Cal-Mag für jede Dame. Dabei wird das Wasser in 125ml Schüben nach und nach verabreicht, bis ein leichter Drain von ca. 100ml zu erkennen ist. Tag 20 Veg: Dem Wachstum der Pflanzen ist zu entnehmen, dass sie das letze Topping verarbeitet haben. Die neuen Seitentriebe legen nach und nach zu. Hier ist es wichtig, für eine Gute Struktur, regelmäßig mit LST zu intervenieren. Auf den Bildern von Heute sind die Pflanzten vor und nach dem LST zu sehen. Auch einige Blätter, die die Triebe bedecken, wurden entfernt. Die ganze Energie soll in den Wachstum der Triebe geleitete werden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 16 – Vegetative Phase: LST and topping are the next steps to be carried out. LST needs to be performed and monitored daily, if not several times a day, to ensure that the desired plant structure is achieved. As can be seen in the images, the plant at the front left has fewer shoots. During training, one shoot was lost due to inattention, and another shoot failed to develop properly and was therefore removed. During LST, the goal is to bend each shoot into its own direction and then orient it horizontally to the ground. I am waiting another two days before the next topping. This is done partly to distribute stress more evenly across the plants, and partly because the growth of some shoots on the weaker plants is not yet sufficiently advanced. VPD is currently between 0.44 and 0.68, which is ideal for the early growth phase. This is also reflected in the visible growth of the plants. Day 17 – Vegetative Phase: Early this morning, topping was performed for the second time, this time at the first newly formed node. Only the upper shoots were left untouched, as they were still too young. Why were the lower shoots topped anyway? First, it makes sense to distribute the high level of stress over several days. In addition, a specific plant structure is intended to be achieved. Before and after the remaining node, ground anchors were placed to keep the shoots in position. Day 19 – Vegetative Phase: Today, approximately 1–1.2 L of liquid was applied to each plant, adjusted to a pH of 6.3 and supplemented with 1 ml/L Cal-Mag. The water was administered gradually in 125 ml increments until a slight runoff of about 100 ml was observed. Day 20 – Vegetative Phase: Based on the plants’ growth, it is evident that they have recovered from the last topping. The new side shoots are progressively gaining vigor. At this stage, regular intervention with LST is essential to establish and maintain a well-structured plant architecture. In today’s images, the plants are shown before and after LST. In addition, several leaves covering the shoots were removed so that energy is directed entirely toward shoot growth.

Babies are growing soooo fast. Very happy about this strain! Can't wait for a tasting session... 😉

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Another week in flower, except for the height there isn't much progress with her. True sativa plant, thin leaves, big internodals spacing and she won't stop stretching.. 😪 I'm sure that if she keeps that up, she'll be towering over the other ladies. i'll have to raise the lights and raise my other ladies so that they're not too far from the lights. I've already moved her to the back where the tallest girls are, that way i want incline the lights a bit for better light distribution. Pictures taken on day 20, I did a light defoliation on the bottom, taking out all that growth that won't receive enough light penetration. Watering every other day like always.. That's it for this week, isn't much more to say.. Hope you all have a great day! One love!
