Plucked a few more leaves but other than that just feed them this week including bloom. Also gave them some rice starch (from boiled rice water collection) on day 42 as a boost for the microbes 👍 Turned the IR off now and turned up to 34000lux

Got the screen in this week and managed to weave the plant into it somewhat Switched to flowering this week and can already see it starting to stretch Cant wait to start seeing some buds

Welcome to week 6 of my White Truffle grow! First things first: Still no signs of pre flower yet 😄 She’s taken the training and the continuous defoliation like a champ. She got a massive stem and also the 4 main branches are thickening up that I could get some problems later this week of holding the branches under the trellis. Hopefully some signs of pre flowering will show up this week or I have to move the trellis a little bit upwards. Update: the lady seems to be a photoperiod and none autoflower, as i asked the breeder recently. So she is going to flower by switching to 12/12 from the mid of week 6. Hopefully she has not a huge stretch, because of the limited space in the Vgrow. The plant itself looks healthy and vital. Looking forward to this week. ✌️

Si no haces nada especial para ti y actualizaremos para ti también y para siempre 😂

แม่งก็ยังยืดอยู่ ชนไฟอีกล่ะ

So here's my first Diary. I'm a new grower just trying to find out what works best for me.

Uma das genéticas mais lindas que já tive! As cores são incríveis, um roxo quase marrom, com pistilos laranjas e tricomas roxos...o cheiro é beeeem frutado, lembra as famosas berries. Lembra também cheiro de laranja e manga..enfim, ainda não degustei, ela está secando⏳assim que eu provar atualizo aqui com o que achei do sabor, efeito e quanto rendeu.

Start 8th week, nice odor and good conditions. Putting now more PK.

Feliz con los resultados 😊

We have made it to the end of Week 6. Conditions in the tent have improved DRAMATICALLY. The heat wave has finally passed and the temperature has finally leveled out. Not only that, the super weird monsoon weather that we were having has also passed and now the humidity is not rising above 60%. This turn for the best is really showing and also fixing the pH problem I had also probably helped a lot. The color of the buds is really coming through now. They are showing lots of light blues and a little orange and I am loving it. I am planning on pushing the nutrients a little higher these next two weeks, around 750-850 PPM. Hoping to give them a larger shot of overdrive to keep them pushing these last 2 or 3 weeks. Overall I am SO excited for this plant, I can't wait to see what her harvest will bring!!!

here we go a lil update here So grow diary's gave our diary back after the slight hicup so here's us upload up to date will be few posts coming up so llz bear in mind were not flooding the scene merely jus catching up ↘️THE NUTRIENTS AMOUNTS GIVEN ARE FOR 15 LITRES OF WATER ↙️ 1stly I would like to apologise to all my followers and to all the community and my sponsers for nor getting them nice long informative vids out recently we all know my back had been pretty bad and keeps popping our again along with my legs so im not able to get in the pit easily as it corse tremendously amounts of pain. anyway here we are day 71 and week 3 of flower and there doing epic feed is on point love indica line so do they as you an see there thriving now there is some heat and wind stress but its minor terms are above 30c so its been difficult to keep optimal we have our 2 big plants cindyy 99 our 3rd big plant our 🍊 cream 🍦 and we have our smaller plant another cindy 99 all kn @indica.nutrients part 2 line we started to use part 1 but I had to cull a load as too many less is more right. I hope you like this lil update im doing all I can to keep posting im hoping next week will be feeling less pain although jts been 2 weeks now my fault I suffer with legs and back anyway but I been over doing it it was better at start of week then went again . anyway big shout out to @indica.nutrients @danindicanutrients for showing some real support through my tuff times its been a blessing to have such an amazing team behind me and ill always do my best to show the support back. 🙏🙏

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! 🌱💪😂

had a lot of issues with my ph and overfeeding so i flushed her the last 2 weeks , overall im happy with the results. Not my best yield but it'll keep improving. She smells great citrus and lemon sense! 🙂

Saying that this girl had a rough start she really is impressing me. Bare in mind this has NEVER been topped or trained and just look at the shape of her....a real woman.😋😄 She is getting bulkier by the day and those little buttons are starting to stack. Let's goooooo... Update Day 40, she is getting maaaaaasive.🤣🤣She has had to be moved to take centre stage, the Guava can shine in the background now. What a plant this is, ill be buying alot more of these seeds. Bar removing a couple of leaves blocking sites she hasn't been trained, topped or anything. What a plant fast buds have on their hands here 👏 👏 Day 42- shes absolutely bowling along. I gave her a little haircut (defoliated) and got rid of all lower branches that were never reaching the top, saves trimming air🤣 I Was going to give another bloom top dress but after looking at her closely she really doesn't need anything yet, maybe another week and ill reassess. Happy growing ✌️ Day 44 and shes exploding into life. Flower is in full flow.

14/7/21 Tercer día con muestra de pistilos 😬😍 Hoy le apliqué riego de nutrientes sin variar a la dosis anterior. Desprende un leve aroma muy dulzón. 15/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes 1ml Base Jungle Juice Bloom junto con 1,5ml Big Bud más 1,5ml Sensizym 17/07/21 Riego a base de h2o 1,5L 18/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes con las mismas dosis del último, una cantidad de 0,5l. 19/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes con las misma dosis al anterior, cantidad de 1,5L.

Decided to harvest at 10-12% amber. Running out of time and needed to chop her down. Pretty sure I slowed her down from a heavy defol. She was supposed to be done on day 65 based on breeders notes. She took considerably longer for me so the heavy defol is the only thing I can think of. She has sweet gas and grape terp. Very nice heavy dense buds but not as large as I was hoping. Despite the bud size I think it will be some good smoke. I’ll update with dried and cured bud pics. Buds are very dense after dry and cure!

Best smoke I've had in years!!!!

not all days have been good for her, but the last week has been very good, she has a lot of time left before the finish line, I don't know how it will go on, but for now it is the most beautiful plant I have ever seen :) update in 2-3 weeks :)

Starting eighth week of flowering.
