23/10/2024 Lights On! I opened the tent this evening but it's her morning 🌄 however you like to picture it! Strong smell of gas that' smells bitter like lemons, when it hits the back ya sinuses. After a few minutes taking pictures, the undertones of the nutty earthy leaves prevails and lingers around the room it seems for much longer than the lemons. 24/10/2024 Lights On! 25/10/2024 Lights On! 26/10/2024 Lights On! Deffo smelling very sharp lemon 🍋 27/10/2024 Lights On! Yep, there deffo lemons I'm smelling its a Strong Lemon Toilet Fresher kinda' thing! I'm not saying 'Lemon Toilet Freshers' are my thang! But hey, its a sharp lemon smell! Reminds me of the smell of apple car Freshers but lemon instead! I do say; it's the kind of fresh sharp citrus smell when you open ya car door with fresh Freshers hanging! 😈 👿 Slite nute burn from the Holland nutes! "Note to self: next time time add 0.6ml/l instead of 1ml as a low dose! You'll get it perfect eventually 😌 I'm sure! "Not all fat hairy girls are dumb and smelly: some maybe the lazyones, but this time of year the crazy ones and lazyones have to go shopping, nowonder its bussy this time of year: cues cues cues, like Jesus Christ put a folk in it or two! 😉KFC should do trollies for a family pack! deffo at x-mas time because the halloween treats have vanished, the snow then falls, the prices go up the portions go down (more recycled junk) you gotta blame "global warming" on some fat b!tch taking up the space!. Jokes aside: Mrs.Clause like playing with Santa's snowballs! Sorry folks 😞 that's a backwards sexes Mrs.Santa joke 😃 .....Baha well biite mee for spreading laughs this time of year! - Like her egg yolks! 28/10/2024 Lights On! Sorry uploaded 😔 all the photos from today! Will sort them out later! Cba one of those dayz! I just wanted to get them off my phone! I felt like I was going to say "get them off my chest" reading that over again quickly! - Poor English when I'm not running everything through Ai 😕 or is this actually Ai prompted to make mistakes and appear normal! Aye! Makes you question my whole existence within these entries of folklore and mystic magical characters! Baha I think it's my eyes - I'm seeing purple 💜 👀 on her pistils! Blink twice though and the purple hues is definitely there! Oh boy, this is going to be awesome colour show! I reckon 10-11z give or take! Counting time ⏲️ is a forever losing battle! In ones mind it's a peaceful shuffle rattle! We are just in "Crusing Shuttles" the brain is a bubble 29/10/2024 Lights On! Had to supercrop some branches! Now drinking just over 8.5L/24h. 5L = Day 3.5L = Night The last 4 days i topped up only with water to balance the nutes out; i clearly forgot to mention this! She seems a lot more relaxed and the NPKs have leveled out! BG41 indica tent is doing okay she's drinking 4.5L/24h. "Time for a advocaat! I could be Dutch at heart! Well, I sure do speak it 😏 on the double!" "Reversed Black Joke to a WhiteWoman: She got smacked of a black guy and never went back 😅" You ever wonder why hospital lights frequencies make you feel sick! 😬 😫 deffo the street lamps 🔦 now! Too bright! The sun is more blue with its halos 😇

A few leaves looking bad on the first two plant from the pump failure last week and the back plant has slumped over! APART FRom that they are starting to get noticeably denser and crystally. STARTING TO TAPER down the e.c. Each week towards flush.

Permanent Bluez about half way thru flower and she’s a beautiful specimen, long thick buds , sticky to the touch and throwing out an inch of pistols every week . Smells really sweet . She’s coming home very nicely.

I installed a PH controller but it didn't work right and only the ph up peristaltic pump is working. I will use this over my vacation as my PH drifts down naturally so this should work until i get a replacement. I watered in my gsc and other seedlings until runoff with 850 ppm heavy in nitrogen to green them up as the organic top dressing is taking too long.will see how they respond.on week 4 day 4 They are responding well to nitrogen Gsc is taking off!!!will continue nitrogen until end of this week as needed.

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.😍😍😍

Fed only distilled water every 3-5days. Stopped all LST TRAINING n let grow naturally. Tomorrow will move lights to flowering distance as they all began flowering. Now it's just watering from here on out n watch them grow as nature intended.

Week 8 for Space Panda by Atlasseed, Unfortunately pheno 1 was a bit mishandled and 1 of her mains was broken 😥 from 4 down to 3. Still going to keep her and continue main-lining her she will just end up with 12or15 mains instead of 16. Other than that they both seem fairly happy, growth speed isn't too bad either. Think this strain will absolutely explode when shes transplanted into 25L pot from her insane root production.

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!

This week was hottt. I have been out sic l8ly sorry 4 no updates. The girls r still growing strong. With very little maintenance. I gave them each 5 gallons of water with nutrients on Sat, (early morning since it was a heat wave) I defoliated (the lower branches became shaded out) and now the little bushes are taking upon a more tree like appearance. They are all just under the 7 ft roof, with training. They were hitting the roof and getting wet (morning dew), so i put more fans inside, (also the 90+ outside temps). No problems with heat. I will start making preparations 2 switch them 2 flower at the end of this month :)
