Plant has solid root base

Didn't bother with the defoliation this week....maybe this upcoming week let's see how she takes to the food first😎

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.😍😍😍

Did a little cleaning up the bottom this week and I am loving this plant! She’s my favorite of the two fast flowering photos I am running— just a healthy stunning plant! Started with bloom nutes this week and she is truly a fast flowering photo! I usually see these results on week three/four and it’s week 2! ✌️🏻💚

Even the longest journey begins with the first step, and this grow was another step on the way to perfection as the journey itself is the destination. Learned a lot and can't wait to apply my knowledge to the next strain.

Gut durchgewurzelt. Heute sind sie in ihren finalen 19L Topf mit der BioHanf erde von Sonnenerde eingezogen. Lets Grow.. Training geht los..

So from this point I had lost hope. the plants weren't looking to good. But with some help we went to town on the plants and did some LST'ing and hoped this would help the plants.

The ladies are doing very well. From this week onwards, 1ml BioGrow and 1ml Cal Mag (per 1 liter) are added to the water. -06.02.2025 The positions of the plants in the tent were swapped. The smaller ones in the middle and the larger ones on the outside. -09.02.2025 Last day of the second week of vegetation. The plants look very good overall. So far I am quite satisfied with the growth.

Excelente resultado el que hemos obtenido con estas cepas de kannabia, pero esta se lleva la palma.. para mi, es la favorita del cultivo. Ha sido la más fácil de cultivar, la que mejor se adapto en el espacio de cultivo.. bastante productiva y con una resina brutal. Sabores cítrico y mango muy acentuado.. es una pasada fumar esta cepa. Con esto damos por terminado el cultivo con kannabia.. disculpad la tardanza en publicar... tarde o temprano siemore cumplimos! Hasta pronto amigos! Un saludo growers 💚👨‍🌾🏽

No Os perdeis que sandra de esta mujercita !!! Transformation de la chica a la mujer. Disfruta lo conmigo Strong begining of the week, looking forward to give her all my love

À vite germer au moment de la planter en terre je me suis aperçu qu'il y avait 2 germe.

420Fastbuds Week 7 FBT2102 The two of these girls are growing great. They are stacking up nice and having very minimal stretch. They're looking a little droopy I probably should have fed them before the lights went off. They are showing no signs of any nute issues but gave them a good spray down with some Dr. Zymes as I thought I seen something on another plant. Also gave the tent and good cleaning and wiped everything down with antibacterial wipes. Happy Growing

The plant looks fantastic and continues to make strong progress in bud development. This strain produces beautiful purple buds covered in trichomes. The aroma is incredibly strong, with notes of Tangie and blueberry complemented by a refreshing hint of mint. An absolutely impressive strain. There are no signs of pests, mold, powdery mildew, or spider mites.

So only Sour Jelousy left and i will let her around 5-8 days more , Both are nice smelling plants , My Mango Smile was smelling also really nice mango fruty gassy smell and at end i made catastrophic fail that i destroyed whole taste and smell and everything and that hapened with turning on wrong Schedule Cycle on my Viovsun Vcure simply i didnt sow that fast cycle dry/cure it is 20c with 55rh for 8 days which at end i burned all my trycoms . Wanted just to share my bad experience and how eazy can ruin your 3 months work 😁💨💣

Day 57 and this plant has transformed from tiny to decent size. I dont know yet when to start flushing but it will be during the next 2 weeks! Soo far everythings going good!

APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER WEEK #10 OVERALL WEEK #4 FLOWER This week she's looking healthy, her buds are starting to take shape and you can see the trichomes forming. No issues so far with this lady!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you GANJA FARMER!! APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER

Ok my friends, i have to end this growing season with a bit smaller wedding party than planded.. becouse nasty weddingcrashers who came have ruined the cake! (caterpillers, blackflies, spidermites and mold!!💀) At first i thought i had to cancel the whole party.. but i could, luckily, still save a small amount of buds...(very small, most of it i had to throw away 😿) Those i had, luckily, already cut off days before(tshtf)..i was affraid to vape it but(mayb make oil from it) luckily, when it was dry i could see it was safe enough to vape👍 ..its a pity but no worries, love conquers all! 😻 This cake is so sweet, gonna save this for xmas😇 happy growing for all ✊ smoke/VAPE REVIEW: Wedding cake is a beautiful name for her becouse my eyes are getting abit teary 😂..and i have a feeling of bliss and unconditional love for all 😘 Chronic pain fades to the background for a while too.. (I feel its still there but do i still care? 😎) Im Just being very relaxed with feelings of serenity and contentment.. I feel like this hibernation this winter is gonna b over as quickly as a.. honeymoon!😚
