She’s still being babysat by a friend and so far she’s growing strong. Have a good stretch so the light was moved up a bit as well, also implemented some LST. Can’t wait to see her again.

Welcome to the enchanted valleys of Peaky Gardens My cacti grow big and broken! The two girls in the back probably have undergone over fertilization and maybe this will cost me less volume ... on the other hand ... the good girl from ahead and became a hot air balloon anchored to the containment network ... xoxo for everyone

Day 56 Veg from Seed Crazy what a scrog method could do in just 1 week 🔥 Definitely going to preform this method again in my future grows. Today was the last day of veg I prep my reservoir for flowering stage (nutrients mix with 5Gal spring water) and flip my lights to 12/12 Also collected a few clones from each plant giving me the opportunity for a mother plant or 2 then have a full run in the near future ⛽️

Week 3 Flower: I started with 10ml/500ml of BioTabs Bud Booster once a week. I put another Trellis on top and continued to bend the stems. Some Buds starting to form :). It doesnt smell yet, only if u touch it. Then its quite sticky and stinky (in a good way). Still stretching a bit, but it didnt stretch as much as i thought it would (and as people told me). Week 3 Day 4: Very moist weather outside, the tent is in the sleeping room, average humidity inside the tent is 58% atm. A bit too high. Outside tent ~70% - way too high, hope its getting dryer soon. Week 3 Day 5: Conditions normalizing. average humidity now around 45%. Week 3 Day 6: Im wondering how low I should start cutting the smaller, lower Popcornbuds, any ideas? - Removed some Popcorn buds/leaves from the lower parts of the plant.

(Musik an) Week 15 – The Calm Before the Storm 😏 Nach neun Tagen Urlaub war ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich gespannt. Ausgerechnet drei Tage vor meiner Rückkehr verabschiedete sich auch noch die Hobbit Cam. 😅 Keine Bilder mehr, keine Kontrolle – nur die Klimadaten und das Vertrauen in meinen Sohnemann. Als ich schließlich die Tür geöffnet habe, war mein erster Gedanke nur: “WTF… 😳😏” Die Laughing Buddha hat die Zeit genutzt. Nicht, um völlig außer Kontrolle zu wachsen, sondern um sich in aller Ruhe zu einem dichten, kräftigen SCROG zu entwickeln. Die Bewässerung hat hervorragend funktioniert, das Klima war stabil und die Pflanze sah nach dem Urlaub gesünder aus, als ich es mir erhofft hatte. Heute wurde der Grow auf die nächste Phase vorbereitet. Zuerst wurden die 81 Triebspitzen gleichmäßig über das Netz verteilt. Ja, ich habe tatsächlich nachgezählt… exakt 81 Spitzen. 🤣 Mein kleines Ziel „72 Tops für 720 Watt“ scheint tatsächlich Realität zu werden. Anschließend folgte der bisher größte Eingriff des gesamten Grows. Unterhalb des ersten Netzes wurde komplett gelollipoppt und die Pflanze zusätzlich stark ausgelichtet, damit Licht und vor allem Luft ungehindert durch das Blätterdach zirkulieren können. Von unten betrachtet sieht die Buddha inzwischen eher wie ein kleiner Baum aus – kräftige Hauptäste, saubere Verzweigungen und ein stabiles Gerüst, das später hoffentlich dutzende schwere Colas tragen wird. Nachdem alles ausgelichtet und neu verteilt war, habe ich die obere Erdschicht vorsichtig aufgelockert und nach Herstellerangabe Green House Feeding BioBloom eingearbeitet. Anschließend wurde mit BioEnhancer angegossen, damit die Bodenbiologie aktiviert wird und die organischen Nährstoffe in den nächsten Tagen in Ruhe arbeiten können. Jetzt bekommt die Buddha erst einmal ein kleines Wellnessprogramm. 🌿 Keine weiteren großen Eingriffe, nur Wasser, stabile Klimabedingungen und Zeit, sich vollständig von der Entlaubung zu erholen. Wenn alles weiterhin so läuft wie geplant, wird nächsten Donnerstag auf 12/12 umgestellt. Dann beginnt endlich die Blütephase. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie sich die Laughing Buddha im Stretch verhält. Die Internodien sind bisher angenehm kurz geblieben, wodurch die Chancen auf lange, aber trotzdem schön kompakte Colas ziemlich gut aussehen. Sollte sie jetzt noch das zweite Netz sauber ausfüllen, könnte das genau die Blütenwand werden, die ich mir von Anfang an vorgestellt habe. Der Veg-Teil ist damit fast abgeschlossen… jetzt beginnt bald der wirklich spannende Teil. 😎🌿🚀

Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

Welcome to GhostGrow Chapter One by PoshGrow! 🌳 Week #3 Did LST training on 3 Alaskan Purple strains, #1, #2 & #5. They were big enough, but still bushy so I removed all biggest fan leaves. Other strain need to get abit bigger to get their training. All strains looks healthy, they are short, but very tought and bushy. Also first early pre flower signs showed up.

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.😍😍😍

Blütewoche 10: Die letzten Tage Zeitraum: 24.07. bis 28.07. Blütetag: 63 bis 67 Nach rund 9,5 Wochen Blüte war es so weit, Erntezeit! Die Trichome hatten genau das Verhältnis erreicht, das ich mir gewünscht hatte. Ich hab mir meine Japansäge geschnappt und die King Juice kurzerhand am Stamm durchtrennt. Danach hab ich sie vorsichtig samt ScrOG-Netz aus dem Zelt gehoben und sie mitten im Wohnzimmer platziert. Erst da wurde mir das ganze Ausmaß bewusst. Eine richtig große Pflanze, viele Triebe und eine Menge schöner, harziger Buds. Die Headbuds oben waren kompakt und groß, weiter unten gab’s viele kleinere Popcornbuds aber auch die waren fest und klebrig. Nach rund 4 Stunden Trimmen hing das ScrOG-Netz wieder im Zelt, dieses Mal verkehrtherum und vollgepackt mit den einzelnen Ästen. Ein regelrechter Himmel aus Buds 😍 Die Trocknung lief optimal, Temperaturen lagen konstant bei 20–21 °C und die Luftfeuchtigkeit zwischen 54–65 %. Nach 10 Tagen habe ich die Buds am 07.08. final abgenommen. Optik: Kompakte, daumengroße Buds, viele kleine Harzbomben mit lila Farbtönen Geruch & Geschmack: Fruchtig, süß, würzig, pfeffrig. Wirkung: Sie knallt gut, ist aber trotzdem klar im Kopf. Sehr angenehm! Fazit: Ich bin mega zufrieden mit dem gesamten Grow. Keine Ausfälle, kaum Mängel, Temperaturen und LF meistens stabil und das Beet hat wirklich gut funktioniert. Die Pflanze hat sich wunderbar an ScrOG angepasst, und ich konnte mir damit echt einen kleinen Traum erfüllen. Eine Pflanze komplett durchziehen, schön ausgebreitet im Zelt. genau so hab ich mir das vorgestellt. Es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht! 😊 Die Vorbereitungen für den nächsten Run laufen bereits, das Beet wird wieder frisch begrünt und ich freu mich auf den nächsten Grow!!! Nachträgliches Update nach 10 Monaten: Die King Juice wurde am 28.07.2025 geerntet und anschließend über 10 Tage langsam im Zelt getrocknet. Bereits während der Trocknung entwickelte sich ein extrem intensiver Geruch mit süßen, fruchtigen und leicht cremigen Noten. Nach dem anschließenden Curing zeigte die Sorte ein sehr rundes und starkes Gesamtprofil. Eine spätere Messung mit dem Purpl Pro erreichte das Sample starke 26 % THC bei einer Restfeuchtigkeit von 8,9 % und einer Wasseraktivität von 0,4 AW. Über die Monate hinweg haben sich Geruch und Geschmack zwar etwas abgeschwächt, sind aber weiterhin deutlich vorhanden und sehr angenehm. Die ursprüngliche extreme Intensität ist etwas zurückgegangen, dafür wirkt das Aroma heute reifer, weicher und harmonischer. Geschmacklich bleibt die Sorte süß, leicht fruchtig und sehr smooth. Das Rauchgefühl ist mittlerweile außergewöhnlich angenehm geworden – fast so, als würde man eine warme Wolke inhalieren. Sehr weich, gar nicht kratzig und insgesamt extrem entspannt zu rauchen. Die Wirkung ist dagegen bis heute unverändert stark geblieben. King Juice liefert einen intensiven, langanhaltenden Effekt mit deutlicher körperlicher Entspannung und gleichzeitig starker mentaler Wirkung. Insgesamt hat sich die Sorte auch nach langer Lagerzeit hervorragend gehalten und zählt definitiv zu den stärkeren und qualitativ hochwertigeren Ernten meiner bisherigen Grows. 😋

Great strain, would recommend. Nice smoke/vapor, friends love it, stupefying and euphoric, no heavy couch lock like heavy indicas. Taste great in The Mighty vaporizer, citrus with a hint of pine.

She’s suffered too much light penetration but handled it well. The N13 has stopped growing and using all her energy to bud up. Her pistol’s are turning brown. All’s she will receive from now on is pure phd water.

Chopped them down for a 24 hour hang dry before storing them in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. So freaking glad it's over! Time to chill out and enjoy the crop.
