🍓 Week 3 has been completed ☑️ 🍓 She’s responding to her training very well 🍓 I could see a slight color change on some leaves the previous week. Soil Ph needed correction alongside nutrients introduction. 🍓 So with properly Ph water I added nutrients to my feed by week 3 she should be strong enough to handle these 🍓The main node keeps trying to take over so we kept defoliating and making sure it slows down to then stays leveled with the other nodes 🍓 Happy growing

Week 9 9 weeks of Vegging, this is where if you work as a Master Grower in a big scale Grow-Op, the boss starts to ask if they’re ready for the flowering rooms... They need one more week Sir ! I have defoliate and lollipopped the plants. Taking off the 4 highest fan leaves and trimming the legs of the lowest shoots. Starting by the fan leaves at beginning of the week and trimming the shoots a few days after at the end of week. Normally, if it has been done right, during the next week the plants should start to spread, growing like little bushes. I will keep on spreading them, to give them all the space they need to grow, but just close enough to make them feel the competition with the others. Next week will be the last week of Vegging, if everything goes well they should reach the right level, just before switching and should have enough space left for the stretch and the Flowering cycle without finishing into the lights. See you next week folks ! (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Bonjour, Aujourd’hui je suis hyper content la croissance explose depuis cette semaine, j’ai coupé l’apex des 4 plantes en début de semaine, une fois celle-ci développé donc ( la semaine prochaine en principe) je lance la floraison. 😎🤘🏽👌🌕

Hey there! Welcome to this diary! I made it easy back in 2021. Sorry in advance for the Spanish audio. For my germination method I always use both the glass of water and the paper towel. Let me explain, the glass of water only goes for 6 to 12 hrs, it's just a soak that also contains 3-4 drops of hydrogen peroxide, this way we kill all pathogens that the seed may have on the outside. Then to a warm, moist and dark place with the paper towel, this seed sprouted pretty fast using this method. Then, once it has that tiny mouse tail of it goes to the pot, I keep it moist by putting a transparent cup upside down. Just to keep the dates, it just took from the 17th to the 19th to go from the cup with water, to the paper tower, to the soil, AND SPROUT!!

Just a random non pot video, of my technique on indoor cherry tomatoes, u basically wanna start them on 12 hours of light or less around september, cutting away all the flowers so it keeps vegging untill 2 meters when the actual season starts, now there are alot of flowrs forming.

Week 7 Update – Recovery and Growth 🌿 Sorry for the late update—I was completely out of commission the past few days 🤢, but luckily, my girlfriend stepped in and took care of the plants. The good news? The stretch is finally over! But note to self—never again 9L pots for plants this size! 😅 BioBizz#1 – BT23 Despite a “drain” pH of 7.8, she’s doing okay overall. However, this will be my last run with BioBizz. While I’ve managed the CalMag issue this time, Advanced Nutrients has completely won me over. AN#4 has thicker stems and looks more vigorous, and AN#3 bounced back quickly with AN nutrients. AN#4 – BT23 She’s praying to the light every day and is officially the largest and healthiest plant I’ve ever grown—no deficiencies so far! 😍 AN#3 – BT19 I had to defoliate heavily, but you can barely tell. Height is becoming a challenge, so I’m hoping it just barely fits—because it has to! 😅

Heeey guys! A rather fast update this time, right? I was always 1 week late with the updates but decided to speed things up a little this time! 😋 And now, to summarize this week I'd say it was fun! 😃 While I was still unsure if I wanted to go for 8 colas or just stick with 4 (I wasn't 100% sure last week! I'm a very indecisive person!) and after taking into consideration all the pros/cons and my own skill level I decided to just stick to 4 for now. I don't want the buds to fight for light and since this is my first time doing main-lining I'm sure I might end screwing things up with 8 colas. 😗 Besides what I mentioned earlier I did a lot of trimming (had to cut the remaining branches and extra foliage!) and gave a friend some cuttings of my babies! (after all I had 8 spare ones from each plant!) I also went for a more aggressive with LST since I know I'll need more space between each in the future colas! 💪 I also moved Boomer to a new container, she was getting somewhat crowded in such a small space! (I'm so impressed she's growing so well right now!) 😍 You'll once again see two time lapses showing how my plants were growing, I hope you all will enjoy them! 😉 Probably I'll stick for one or two more weeks in veg (I want the plants to grow a bit more before going into flower) but so far most of the work is done. Thanks everyone! 😊

Day 14 today from seed. A real difference on last weeks maturity is starting to show. The following nutrients have been added this week; Rhizotonic Part A Part B Calmag Cannazym Boost accelerator Ph: 6 ppm +/- 600 Now under spider farmer LED1000 There is now more strength in the stems and no more falling over

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 AND 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.😍😍😍

Barney's Farm es increíble Kush Mintz simplemente espectacular, linaje critical x kush no tiene fallo posible, y si ya la cruzas con una mintz.. muy buen trabajo breeders, cogollos duros como rocas y buen tamaño Toca secar y valorar todo en unos días 😜

Recovery at its finest, that's what you will see on week 4 around here! Guess who's loving the CO2 with high temperature? Thats right, all plants are! The comparison of last week with this week have such a difference, on day 24 I introduced a DIY CO2 bottle, the recipe consist in: -CO2- 2 cups of sugar 1 tablespoon of yeast 1 tablespoon of baking soda 1 later of warm water Mix all ingredients on a bottle, make a nail hole on the cap shake a little (when shaking put your finger on the nail hole, you should hear a hissssss when you release the hole) use it when lights are on, increase temperature to 30-35C, watch for high levels of humidity, and voila! Any other details you want to know ask way :) I haven't started any LST yet, I am waiting for a bit more growth to start bending, I have to make sure all 5 plants will have enough space inside this 2x4 tent. All suggestions are welcomed :) Thats is for now, Stay Lit folks!

After 3 days, when the temperature rose above 11 degrees, I could finally remove the greenhouse from the pet bottle. I did the first fertilizing with Advanced nutrients Voodoo juice, Piranha and Tarantula for better development and protection of the root. Unfortunately, the pet bottle greenhouse, which was dewy and dirty from snail slime, caused the main stem to pull out more than I would have liked. I like it when the main stem is low and immediately starts to form secondary branches

Not much to say, keep growing.

Day 9 I had no choice but to defoliate, the canopy was getting way to dense and humidity was hard to control even with my 30 pin dehumidifier. Hopefully will not affect to much. Probably I will do another defoliation on day 21. TDS stays at 550PPM this week and CO2 at 1200PPM.

NEW RES! -- DEC 4 - DAY 31 - So the flowers are beautiful and sprouted and looking amazing going to give her a new res today- NEW RES! DEC 4 - DAY 31 - HEAVY LST AND NEW RES The goal is to get her to stretch so that I can LST the longer, more flexible branches. I will then put her into a 5 gallon from a 3 so that she is closer to the light. I will LST the entire plant pretty hard, and since she's topped already, it's a matter of pure growth now. I am experimenting with more MICRO and higher PPM (775) at 1.9 EC to see what happens. No defoliation since I don't want to stunt her, just a refresh of her LST to reinforce the inside buds getting light. It should be great growth now.

Stoped LST about a week ago as it's really bushy now and canopy flat witch is good grow as been good switch to bloom as the stretching has stoped leaves still abit yellow I fear this might be due to night time temps droping to below 15 C was wondering if I could defoliate this auto as it's really bushy now don't know if I should or can any advice ? Ok I have decided to go forward with the defoliation as the RH in tent is very high and it's winter at the moment so my risk for mold and bud root is high so I feel with the defoliation it really opened up the canopy great for air circulation and lower buds are getting much need light now tryed to keep all big fan leaves that are on the out side posted pics and plant seems stressed due to it leaves droped and hanging abit but hopefully she will bounce back the canopy in the centre was a mix of leaves on leave s on leaves like no way air would ever get in there lol funny thing once I opened her up there was nice size buds under there don't know how they got light but they did some how get food from main steam I guess

I bought Sexy Moma out of the grow tent to get some good pictures for you. I am in the 5th week of flowering, and STRNG seeds says it needs 8 to 9 weeks to flower. It's still a little too hot in my grow tent so I have been opening it up and letting cool air inside. I am not sure how to get my temperature down using the lights?? As usual, I included the temperature in this area because it plays a part in how hot my grow tent gets in my garage. As usual, I clipped off a bud so I could get some close up pics of her. I smelled the bud and it smells great; but I just can’t pinpoint how to describe her just yet. What I can say for sure is she smells and so does my tent! a look at the close up pictures I took with my Max-see magnifier!! Her buds continue to get bigger and she definitely sticky!! A couple of more weeks and I will be flushing her!! Stay tuned to next week to see how Sex Panther Auto is doing! As always, Be Happy!! Comments and Likes are appreciated!! Susquihanna
