Welcome to my LSD-25 auto sponsored by FASTBUDS & XPERT NUTRIENTS. WEEK 5 Days 29-35 Plant moved really well through pre flower. Stsrted developing purps in the bud. She hasn't a lot of mass, she is very pungent. (Weirdly smells just like Swiss Dream Rose CBD). Gonna give her another week and then move under my bigger lamp. Nutrients Giving 450-500ppm of core NPK "master bloom" aswel as their full flowering line. Need to ph to 6.7. Using Biobizz ph + (only thing I don't like about it, it's black & gets everywhere, but is super as a buffer) DLI is 37-39 over 18hrs. Thanks to my sponsors from Fastbuds (Heather your a gem) & shout out to Xpert Nutrients for allowing me to test their products (and been 100% honest, my bud, yields have improved 2x and yield 1x, stickiness/Resin/taste easily 3x). 8 highly doubt I'll actually ever use a different line. Maybe to test if asked. But I won't be buying any other brands but this. Its my 1st crop and I'm having to hone my skills with using it. The plants uptake is so much better in soil, I keep getting caught out, whereas I use to have up fo 2 even 3 days when adding to soil before any real issues. With this my soil does need water every day.

Vegetation – The Stretch Begins Overview Entering Week 3 and the Devil Cookies One is showing some solid vigor. The leaf structure is coming in thick with that classic Indica-leaning serration, though the nodes are staying nice and tight under the 100w LED. No signs of major stress, just steady growth as she finishes up her time in the solo cup. Environment & Nutrients: Light: Keeping the Agyrochy 100w at about 18 inches to prevent stretching. Feeding: Started a light dose of BioBizz (Bio-Grow) this week. She seems to be taking the nutrients well with no burnt tips. Watering: Soil is drying out faster now that the root mass is filling the cup. I’m watering every 2 days or whenever the cup feels light. Plant Development Structure: The third and fourth sets of true leaves are fully established. Health: Stems are showing some slight purple hues—could be genetics (Devil Cookies often shows color) or just a slight reaction to the environment, but the growth hasn't slowed down. Next Steps: I’ll be looking to transplant into the final pot soon. The roots are likely circling the bottom of the cup by now, and I want to avoid her getting root-bound before the real vegetative explosion happens. Note: Keeping a close eye on the humidity in the Agyrochy tent to make sure it stays in that 60-65% sweet spot for early veg. Update: 25.03.26 I have transplanted her today to her final pot She live now in mix of biobizz cocos and generic cocos from the Rewe super market with extra compost and monster buds mix

1/12/26 4:18AM MONDAY.....💪💪💪💪👌 1/12 CANNAKAN DAY MEDICINAL 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! 🌱💪😂 1/18 11:58AM.

Gorilla cookies has grown a lot. She is 18 inches tall! I took a picture so show viewers how much growth she has up under the main cola area. I decided that I needed to do a LST on her and tie down 4 of her stems. If you look at the pictures, you can see the LST really opened her up a lot. Looking at the weather this week, we are going to have a lot of bright, sunny days. That means I will have to water and feed my plants regularly. It will be nice to have a break from all of the rain that we have had. I bought some "Fruit Fly Sticky Traps Fungus Gnat Traps Insect Trap for Plants Kitchen Indoor Outdoor White Flies Mosquitos Fungus Gnats Flying Insects Houseplant Gifts" off of Amazon that I really like. I don't know if anyone else has a buggy problem, but it seems like every time I get a new bag of soil, there are little gnat like bugs flying around. I tried to show my viewers how many bugs the sticky traps caught. I am very interested in how my FBA Gorilla Cookies is going to grow --I usually buy 3 containers of FoxFarm nutrients but for this grow I am using Miracle Grow. I had some left over and decided to use up what I had instead of buying something new. As always, please leave me comment and EAT COOKIES!!!

**Semaine Harvest : Récolte Finale – Sticky Broccoli (28 avril 2026)** **Note :** Fin du cycle Eternity Grow Cup 2. Récolte effectuée en semaine 10 de floraison (légèrement anticipée). Tout le journal de culture est maintenant complet. ### Contexte et Bilan du Cycle Après 10 semaines de floraison (semaine 14 globale), la récolte a été déclenchée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. J’aurais pu laisser encore quelques jours pour laisser mûrir un peu plus les trichomes ambrés, mais la sécurité prime. La plante dominante (150 cm) a donné un beau rendement qualitatif, avec des buds denses, extrêmement frosty et résineux. **Poids frais : environ 780 grammes** (poids humide total des buds trimés, sans les grosses tiges). Mise à jour prévue dans 2 semaines pour le **poids sec final** après un bon curing. ### Observations à la Récolte - **Buds** : Denses et compacts, très collants. Couverture trichomale exceptionnelle (majoritairement laiteux avec quelques têtes ambrées). L’aspect sugar est magnifique, les buds brillent littéralement. - **Odeur** : Très agréable, sucrée, épicée et florale, typique de Sticky Broccoli. Puissante même après le flush. - **Résine** : Extrêmement résineuse au toucher – parfait pour du dry sift ou un petit Ice-o-Lator. - **Structure** : Belle densité globale, même si la taille individuelle des buds reste dans la moyenne haute pour la variété (pas les plus gros que j’ai vus, mais la qualité trichomale compense largement). - **Santé** : Plantes propres jusqu’à la fin, pas de carence visible. Le flush des 3 derniers jours (EC 0,7) a bien aidé à nettoyer les sels. **Clones** : Quelques clones prélevés plusieurs semaines auparavant ont été repiqués avec succès dans leur nouveau système. Ils sont bien enracinés et prêts à repartir pour un prochain cycle de végétation/floraison. La génétique est conservée ! ### Paramètres en Fin de Cycle (semaine 10) - Température jour/nuit : 19-21 °C / 14-15 °C - Humidité : 48-58 % jour / 29-39 % nuit - VPD : 0.9-1.3 kPa - PPFD : 550 (DLI 24) - UV : 90 min/jour - EC final : 1.0 puis flush à 0.7 (Terra Aquatica seul) - pH : 5.8-6.0 - Steering : génératif jusqu’à la fin - 48h de blackout avant récolte : appliqué pour booster la résine et améliorer la qualité des trichomes. ### Plans Post-Récolte - **Séchage** : 7-10 jours à 18-20 °C et 55-60 % d’humidité dans un espace sombre et ventilé. - **Curing** : Minimum 2-3 semaines en bocaux (burping régulier) pour affiner les terpènes et la douceur. Mise à jour dans 2 semaines avec le poids sec final. - **Utilisation** : Une partie en fleurs séchées/cure, et un petit batch pour **dry sift** + **Ice-o-Lator** (bubble hash) histoire de se régaler avec la résine exceptionnelle de cette Sticky Broccoli. **Tips éducatif final : Le flush et le blackout en fin de cycle** - **Flush** (3 derniers jours à EC très bas) : Permet d’éliminer les sels accumulés et améliore nettement le goût final (moins de chimie, plus de terpènes purs). - **48h de blackout** : Technique simple mais efficace qui stress légèrement la plante de manière positive, augmentant la production de résine et la clarté des trichomes juste avant la coupe. Ce fut un très beau cycle, propre et instructif malgré l’interruption due au botrytis. La qualité résineuse et l’odeur compensent largement. Merci à Zamnesia et Plagron pour le matos ! **#GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 #StickyBroccoli** Dans 2 semaines je mettrai à jour avec le poids sec et les premières impressions après curing. **Estimation du poids sec final** Avec **780 grammes de poids frais** (buds humides, après trim initial mais avant séchage complet), voici une estimation réaliste pour cette Sticky Broccoli : ### Estimation raisonnable - **Poids sec attendu** : **180 à 230 grammes** (environ **23-30 %** du poids frais). **Pourquoi cette fourchette ?** - Les buds frais contiennent typiquement 70-80 % d’eau. - Après un bon séchage (jusqu’à 10-12 % d’humidité résiduelle) + curing, il reste généralement **20-30 %** du poids humide initial. - 20 % → **156 g** (estimation basse, si buds très denses ou séchage poussé) - 25 % → **195 g** (estimation moyenne, la plus courante pour des buds compacts comme les tiens) - 30 % → **234 g** (estimation haute, si les buds retiennent un peu plus d’humidité ou sont particulièrement résineux) Tes buds étant décrits comme **denses, très collants et frosty**, je pencherais plutôt vers le **milieu/haut de la fourchette** : **190-220 grammes** une fois bien secs et cured. ### Facteurs qui influenceront le résultat final - **Qualité du séchage** : Température 18-20 °C, humidité 50-60 %, bonne circulation d’air sans vent direct → perte d’eau progressive et uniforme. - **Trim** : Si tu as fait un wet trim assez serré, le poids sec sera un peu plus bas que si tu as laissé plus de sugar leaves. - **Densité des buds** : Plus ils sont compacts et résineux, moins ils perdent de poids relatif (mais ils sèchent parfois un peu plus lentement). - **Curing** : Pendant les 2-4 semaines en bocaux, tu perdras encore un peu d’humidité, mais le poids se stabilisera. ### Prochaines étapes 1. **Séchage** : 7-10 jours jusqu’à ce que les tiges cassent net (pas pliables). 2. **Curing** : Minimum 2 semaines (idéalement 4+) avec burping quotidien au début. 3. **Pesée finale** : Une fois le poids stabilisé (après 2 semaines de curing),

10/6: She's doubling in size every day now, so.. me thinks she'll be a real specimen. 10/7: She continues to impress! I installed my new AC Infinity 6" fan in the attic and hooked up a 16" carbon filter today. I used some sound deadening foam on the rafter that I mounted it to and removed 100% of the vibration. I haven't programmed the thermo/hygro stuff yet, but tested it on high and I can't hear a thing anywhere in the structure.👍 I'm also purchasing a dual 120mm fan system from AC Infinity in the door, behind the grille I already installed to serve as fresh air intake. It also has a thermostat feature that will allow me to set it to only come on when the temps are too high, so I'm optimistic that it will allow me to manage the temperatures in this closet with about 1000w running for 18-20 hours a day.🙏 I moved the 200w 3500k+660nm to the top section today and lowered my QB frame to 32" above the plants. I have two pairs of them running now(480w), and received the replacement HLG 240-48A driver today for the third pair. I'll hook it up later..dont need it now.. 10/8: I fed her today for the first time...about 16 oz of solution containing grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, and armor si. I hooked up the 3rd pair of qb's today....wow that's bright....she's gonna love it!😎 10/9: She experienced her first night time today...4 hours, from midnight to 4am..at approx 72f and 50% RH. 10/10: I sprayed her with Axiom today and gave her a few ounces of spring water. 10/11: I sprayed her with Boom Boom spray right before dark and also started brewing some compost tea today. 10/12: I just gave her a little spring water today because she's getting douched with compost tea tomorrow. I wish I had some additional blue light to dose her with to get her branching better, but she's doing okay I guess. Since I've overplanted the space, I'm not gonna have much elbow room for her anyway.

The addition of an enzyme has produced amazing results that were shocking and worrying at first. Massive rise in EC and PH every 24 hours from 5.3 - 6.8. Research yet no sign of any harm to the plants, in fact they seem very happy! The enzymes has created an environment friendly to the beneficial microbes and fungi that has lead to a feeding frenzy (Which wouldn't have happened ad I used Hygrozyme from the start.). EC rises a point or two as the microbes and plants expel waste and create a plethora of negative charged hydrogen ions. Thus, the PH rises. Never above 6.8, strangely. Because the microbes are eating and shitting so well, they have added a lot of chilated nutrients that are easier for the plants to uptake at a wider range of PH (Yes, some as high as 6.8). The fact that there are so many bunches of calyxes sprouting and exploding, filling in the flower space is proof enough for me.
