Inicio da 5° semana cheiro a ficar forte e adocicado, ticomas a começar a aparecer exelentes ganhos de resina começa a ficar frosty, foi uma boa semana no geral fortes e saudaveis... Nunca o cheguei a dizer mas sou iniciante no cultivo nunca tinha treinado uma planta e é a primeira vez com substrato de coco.. acho que ate nem esta mau para a preimeira vez deixem a vossa opiniao.. e obrigado por verem

one plant is way smaller than the other, probably a bad seed, startet with some first time LST on the small one too se if it gives some result, looks like the smalles one is about to go into flower pretty soon, hope they flower in a bout the same time as i only have one tent and need to switch to flowering lights when they start flowering. looks like they are happy in there though, another week done! Utdatert: they both started flowering during week 5, switched to flower lights now and just waiting for the good stuff

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

This has been such an incredible learning experience, back in December a friend and I got bored and decided to build a tent with some scraps in my garage and a single CFL in a reptile heat lamp 🤦‍♂️and try and grow the seeds I had been sitting on for a few years. The cfl broke almost immediately and poor little lato spent the first few days of her life in the dark waiting for a cheap led from Amazon. At the beginning of this grow we had no idea what we were doing and honestly no faith we could grow anything but mid bud but it was just abt the experience. Both of us spent most of our days researching and learning about cannabis and organic growing. We ended up deciding on a small company called Dragonfly earth medicine and used their full line of bacteria based nutes/supplements (radiant green, fat flowers, brilliant black, lush roots and natural Mystik) to make teas with worm castings and molasses. I wet trimmed a couple nugs just to see what I prefer seeing as I’ve never done this before. Got everything hung up in her tent with the exhaust fan on the lowest setting. Hopefully everything goes well. I know I started this diary late but thank you guys for all the support if you have any questions or feel like I’m missing anything feel free to reach out.

I loved growing this strain, she was very easy to train and quick to flower/finish. Not to mention she yielded pretty damn good if I might say so! I gave her a nice veg to get a good mainline going so I could have an even canopy and I'm sure that contributed to her having such anl nice harvest. Hope she smokes as good as she looks!

11-21 All the girls had a great first week and looking very happy and ready to be topped moving into week 2. Average height of 11.5”. Changed circulation pump from 75gph to 160gph 11-22 Update Topped all 4 resulting in a 10” average. 11-23 Update All responded great to topping and pushing out a lot of new growth. Added video including the mob boss and duct tape moms on the RDWC skid and the older sisters in week 9 overall, flower week 5 in the flower tent that these will move into.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 84°F. We had intermittent storms and showers throughout the day that took care of the watering. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 88°F. We had on and off rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. The rain took care of the watering. These are recovering well from the nuclear defoliation. They also responded well to treatment. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94°F with clear sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons from the well. I treated these again with Growers Ally fungicide. The warmer nights, blazing sun, and this fungicide have really cleared up that powdery mildew. They've also decided to go all in on flowering. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 94° with sunny skies. Heat index was over a hundred. It was super hot today. I watered twice about 8 gallons total. Everything looked good after treatment. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 95 and partly cloudy skies. I watered twice about 4-5 gallons each time with well water. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 91°F with partly cloudy skies. I watered twice today 4-5 gallons each pot, each time. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 88°F with sunny skies. I watered 5-6 gallons each pot. This week was a success. The powdery mildew issue has been cleared up. The Growers Ally fungicide worked great. These girls have rooted into the ground through the pots which is helping some of the 100+heat index days. It's hard to keep these pots moist in that kind of heat. Overall it was a great week.

the residues of a rainy spring are revealed and after two days of light rain the girls responded differently while those in the smallest containers matured the largest exploded apart from a few small cuts of broken branches and an apex with little botrytis I differentiated disinfected and carefully selected always washing the pruning shears with simple water, the skywalker is beautifully cooked think I put some dried buds in the shed in toilet paper 5 days in the shed in the heat made it take effect !!😱 imagine when this tanning 6 months! I am happy with the results and I moved the plants to the GRILL!! top candy phase in massive quantities at the beginning of the week and also the last time I use it after a week no water. yes .. I hope to resist .. the gorilla glues are bad one is becoming almost perfect but I wish they would light up the trichomes they taste like candy my hands are a symphony of perfumes , even the lemon ak are incredible !! excellent seed I think I'll do it again indoors. compactness structure color UNIQUE flavor the ample bud of the critical orange punch is MONSTER as well as being double having pruned in preFLOW, I had the idea that the orange bud had surprised me that's how it was she's an alien goddess pure milky.😍

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! 🌱💪😂

NEW WEEK 7 OF FLOWERING CRITICAL BY RQS Woohoo soooooo excited 💪🏻🤯🤘🏻 I am normally not so excited with certain things but these grows have definitely made me get excited every new week . It also calms me down a little bit with stress and helps calm my nerves somewhat. Also normally not very talkative to others but with the nice community of growers we have here it makes you want to start conversations and it helps knowing you get trolled etc . Tomorrow First day update Day 42 of flowering Critical Hallo guys/girl's not a lot to say it's a waiting game now critical will be cut down earlier then the cookies gelato will . i can take 100 of the same photographs but it gets a bit boring so I will update every day but maybe not ram it full with photos . The Critical are doing good getting very nice looking buds but has a way to go for sure and they are drinking a lot! I made Video again so enjoy 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD And you will get a nice discount. Day 43 flowering Critical This morning with lights out i gave a nice batch of advanced Nutrients It's overdrive time . So far so good humidity good temp good plants looking good. What those grower want more 😎 . The marshydro TS-1000 is doing a great job nothing to complain about top notch TS series has all the new light functions and technologies with affordable prices and different sizes to fit all kinds of grow scenarios and grow needs. Their aluminum reflective hood design is our patented design, to decrease light loss and increase light efficiency. Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 day 44 flowering critical Nothing really to say other then it's going good and smell like a Day 45 flowering Critical Critical looking good i am really excited about the cookies gelato because we don't have it here . But the buds on the critical are looking very nice . gave this morning the nutrients they need .today i got package delivered and i was stunned what was in it 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 i will reveal later on but holy hell that made my day and probably week 😂😂 only thing i can say is 8X5 Day 46 flowering Critical Also the Critical are drinking good a little Les then the other ones but gave the Critical 1L pH 6.6 water. Also learned i wish lesson to not remove ScrOG netting this far in. Trying to cut netting From the middle and went for the critical plant to cut around plant didn't like that and was waving all the way the wrong way so i ditch cutting netting further rookie mistake but only one little bud got lost in the process . At least i learn not to do that again lol try to video the tricomes on snapped little Bud Come look at my other diaries! I appreciate it a lot 🤘🏻 Day 47 flowering Critical One critical that i cut out of the net is dangling a little but but nothing to worry about yet maybe after the buds get heavier but now it's still safe 👍🏻 Day 48 end of week 7 flowering Critical It was more interesting week for the critical cutting the net this far in the grow not a good idea but have learn from it. On to the next Week Growmies Also want to thank everybody for the comments likes etc you know who you all are 👍🏻😍👍🏻 visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD And you will get a nice discount.

CRAZY NIGHT (Continued) And not only is Frontdesk girl steaming mad that NX hit it and quit it (apparently she was looking to make him breakfast and then introduce himn to the family!!!), she brought along her rather large brother! Frontdeskgirl sees the Stephanies, they see her, large brother see NX's eyes and everyone puts 2 and 2 together. Stphanie 1 was the first to smack NX accross the face, followed by S2 with a kick to the shin, more from S1, S2 with the assist, NX starts hobbling away. But no! Now Frontdesk girl has made it to the group and shes swinging at EVERYONE!!!! Luckily myself and the others in our group were safely out of arms reach and were able to witness this spectacle alongside the curious morning Montreal onlookers. The stephas start fighting back with FDG, and the brother starts to chase my brother!!! Now in most situations, my brother would get backup, bit there was just too muych going on to watch, the big dude obviously had a bum knee, and my bro had a head start and an athletic build. So, there we were, bags dumped outside the hotel, a classy fight on the sidewalk in front of us, my brother running away into the sunrise, and a whole day of events planned. I picked up my shit, my bros shit, my buddies did the same, and we noped the fuck out of there., leaving the girls to figure that shit out themselves. Never saw the Stephanies again. To this day they could still be in Montreal, who knows. My bro is still alive, and I will never know what happened to Frontdeskgirl. DIARY STUFF CHOPPED IT!!! Its huge, it stinks, and I cant wait to show you the harvest and cure photos. Im a big fan of this strain, and I hope it makes it to the FB roster!!!! Thank you Heather and the Fastbuds team for allowing me to grow and profile this wonderful genetic

Start of week 5. Week 4 went well and like the OG Kush, the leaves dropped overnight from day 6 into 7 of week 4. She's a bit hungrier and will need a bit extra feed. Overall the plant is looking good, bud sites are filling in and she's starting to smell. She's already incredibly sticky!

4/26: I top-dressed their pots with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water each, and added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica. I also started them on open sesame. Increased Ph to 6.40 to ensure that they can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving them. 4/27: I did some training on both of them today. 4/29: Both plants are stretching a little bit, but they need to get really busy if they wanna impress me.. 5/1: I gave them a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed them with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitches, grow! 5/3: I did a slow-soak feeding today. Backed off the nitrogen a little more, increased silica, and started adding sweet & sticky and signal.

Comenzamos con este clon de categoría. Banana punch numero 17. Parece que nuestro compañero,canijo tuvo una gran vista. Selecciono como madre una verdadera Yerva de calidad,muy aromática como las hermanas y productora pero esta,subió el listón. En sabor el toque que hace recordar al plátano es impresionante. Vamos a probar con ella a ver qué tal. Día 1 Hoy día 9/1/26 Primer día dentro del armario de cultivo,a un horario de 12/12 plena floración de la semana 6 de sus hermanas amnesia haze. Las luminaria está a tope de potencia pero tiene una buena altura con respecto a la punta de la planta. Llego muy estresada,debido a lo mal conservada, que la tuvieron. Aún no veo cambios en ella solo lleva 24 horas en su nuevo espacio.la dejare allí hasta el final de la floración. En unas semanas si el clima sigue mejorando la sacaremos a el exterior en febrero. Y sacaré los primeros clones para pasarlos a la zona donde se encuentran ahora las amnesia haze. Veremos qué tal,a ver si no la dejo dentro. Día 10/1/26 Todo bien la pequeña esta recuperándose y va teniendo mejor aspecto. Le di unos 100ml de power root. Día 13/1/26 Parece que va mejorando de buena manera va buscando más iluminación,y empieza a levantar sus pequeñas hojas!. Día 16/1/26 La niña sigue evolucionando de buena manera parece que se está adaptando a la comodidad del cuarto.
