Der Grow: Die Pflanze hat nachdem Umtopfen, erst einmal die Blätter, etwas hängen lassen. Dieser Zustand, in dem es auch kein sichtbares Wachstum gab, hat 3 Tage gedauert. Danach hatte sich die Pflanze vom Umtopfen erholt. Die Blätter haben sich langsam aufgerichtet und eine matte Dunkelgrüne Farbe bekommen. Am 4 Tag nachdem Umtopfen, wurden die untersten Triebe samt Blatt entfernt. Am vorletzten Tag der Woche, wurde nach den vierten Nodien, getoppt und die untersten Triebe, samt Blätter, erneut entfernt. So das am Ende 6 Hauptriebe übriggeblieben sind. Diese werde ich vermutlich, noch einmal toppen, zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt und dann mit 12 Trieben in ein Scrog Netz gehen. Das toppen hat die Pflanze gut verkraftet. Einen Wachstums Stopp konnte ich nicht feststellen. Das Cover Crop wuchert mittlerweile auch ganz ordentlich und muss regelmäßig zurückgeschnitten werden. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde zum Start der Woche weiter gesenkt und die LED auf 20% Leistung erhöht. Die LED hängt 40cm entfernt von der Pflanze, sodass 350 PPFD bei der Pflanze, ankommen. Ich lasse die Pflanze jetzt langsam zur LED wachsen, sodass sich die PPFD, langsam erhöhen. Die Parameter in Woche 3: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 60% - 70% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 55% - 65% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26,7 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23,3 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 65,2% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 60,4% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,0 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,0 LED Leistung: 20% = 95 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

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.😍😍😍

Greetings, fellow growers! Let me share the latest progress of my LSD-25 Auto journey as I navigate through Weeks 9 and 10 of the grow cycle: 🌟 **Vibrant Bud Development**: My LSD-25 Auto plants have entered the final stretch of flowering, with buds reaching their peak size and density. The once-promising flowers have transformed into resin-coated colas, exuding the characteristic psychedelic aroma that hints at their potency. Trichomes are abundant, signaling the optimal cannabinoid profile and a potential journey into euphoric bliss. 📏 **Fine-Tuning Environmental Conditions**: As I approach harvest, my focus remains on fine-tuning environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. By carefully managing these factors, I aim to create the perfect microclimate for my plants to thrive and produce their most potent and flavorful buds. 🍃 **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: In these late flowering stages, some leaves may naturally begin to senesce as the plant reallocates its resources towards bud production. This process is a natural part of the plant's life cycle and signals that harvest time is drawing near. Meanwhile, my nutrient regimen continues to be meticulously adjusted to ensure the plants receive the essential elements needed for robust flowering and resin production. 🔍 **Trichome Assessment for Harvest Readiness**: With harvest approaching, I'm closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools, I inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids and psychoactive effects. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As I prepare for the culmination of my LSD-25 Auto grow journey, I'm gathering the necessary tools and supplies for harvest day. Trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers are being readied, while my workspace is meticulously cleaned and sanitized to ensure the preservation of my precious buds' integrity. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to enhance flavor, potency, and overall quality. In summary, Weeks 9 and 10 mark the final stage of my LSD-25 Auto grow adventure, where careful attention to detail and precise cultivation practices pave the way for a bountiful harvest of potent, psychedelic buds. Stay tuned for the next update as I celebrate the culmination of my journey into the realm of LSD-25 Auto. Happy growing! 🌿✨

Day 18 Transplanted today the plants into their 11L pots.😊 While instead i will let the Lemon Tree grow for another 4/5 days in the same pot because she only got 13 days, so I prefer to have it strengthened a little before the transplant. Day 24 Mimosa, Meringue, and Kmintz were Topped, Defoliated and also applied a light LST to the main stems of the plants. I will do the same for the Lemon Tree in the next 2/3 days.. I hope they have a quick recovery 🤞🏻 Day 27 LST also performed on the side branches of all plants except the Kmintz which is too small to bend its branches. Also Today we got 21 days for the Lemon Tree which has a great shape! Carried out topping, LST and a little defoliation.. 🙌🏻 In the next few days I will let them grow them without further stress. Have a great weekend gromies!! ☮️💚

10/22: wow… what a mess. I should have defoliated last week. They were incredibly overgrown and now i had to stress the hell out of them to get the tent cleared up for light. Hopefully the stress does not cause any issues. As if the defoliation was bot enough stress on them, my light height has reached its top, and PL1 had two colas starting that were already pressed into the light. And so i removed their tops a node or two down. Im sure this was as good as hitting the plant in the face with a brick. Hope she recovers! If youve been following along, you know i planted these with hopes for the extremely purple pheno. And i believe that if i had it, she would have started showing her colors by now. Looking forward to seeing what these turn into and if they make it without any issues after i kicked them around a bit.

Die Auto Candy Bubatz ist reif für die Ernte. sie hat in der letzten heißen Woche ihre Blüten ausreifen lassen. Mit dem ersten Hochnebel des Jahres steigt auch die Schimmelanfälligkeit und somit werde ich sie heute schneiden. Der Erntebericht und weitere Fotos werden folgen. Vielen Dank an Dutch Passion, dass ich an diesem Contest teilnehmen konnte. Ich habe Einiges über Autoflowers dazugelernt, sodass mir keine mehr vollständig verschimmelt ist, was leider letztes Jahr geschehen ist. Die Bubatz riecht jetzt sehr süß, etwas minzig, würzig. Richtig super einfach war es jedoch nicht, sie durch die Schlechtwetterperiode im Sommer zu bekommen. Autoflower sind keine Selbstläufer. Ich freue mich bereits auf den ersten Genuss. Zuallererst wird ihr Duft beim Trocknen durch die Wohnung ziehen, auch bereits ein Event. --- The Auto Candy Bubatz is ready for harvest. It has allowed its flowers to mature during the last hot week. With the first high fog of the year, the susceptibility to mold also increases, so I will cut it today. The harvest report and more photos will follow. Many thanks to Dutch Passion for allowing me to participate in this contest. I learned a lot about autoflowers, so none of them got completely moldy, which unfortunately happened last year. The Bubatz now smells very sweet, a little minty, spicy. However, it wasn't really that easy to get it through the bad weather period in the summer. Autoflowers are not a sure-fire success. I'm already looking forward to enjoying them for the first time. First of all, their scent will waft through the apartment as they dry, which is an event in itself.

Weathers been great, a little cold in the mornings, but sunny and 25c every day. Flowering looking great, close to week 5. All the LST done, now to just sit back and wait. Heavy top dress of compost mixed with 70/30 Gaia Green PB/AP (20Tbsp). Weekly spray of BT/Lactobacillus/Epsom, occasionally soil drench of Lactobacillus as well, which is 50% molasses (1-2 Tbsp per gallon). Still seeing tons of moth / caterpillar eggs on mesh netting, but the wasps are making short work of them. Nice even (almost) canopy is making for some great uniform flowering. **Bonus last picture** I had an extra GC FF as a "backup", planted same time but early flowered due to root bound 7 gallon I assume, notice all the single bladed fan leaves, stress maybe? Just harvested, looks good, but I'm sure my main plant will be much better.. Early flowering was sure nice.
