Welcome Back!💚 Nach der sechsten Blütewoche konzentriert sich die Pflanze voll auf die Blüten- ähhhh Samenproduktion! Ja leider. Es sind einiges an Seeds die sich entwickeln. Den es haben sich doch viele Hermaphroditensäckchen gebildet. Größtenteils doch auch unbemerkt, da ich die Pflanze ständig abgesucht und kontrolliert hatte. Leider wohl doch... Scheint als wäre die Genetik trotz der stark wissenschaftlichen Absicht irgendwie instabil. Ist bereits der zweite Versuch und Zack schon wieder. Naja, ich werde sie dennoch fertig Growen, da ich auf jedenfall auf das Wirkspektrum gespannt bin. Und jetzt die Pflanze zu kappen, dafür wäre mir die Arbeit zu schade Die Pflanze ist von der Beschreibung her nicht darauf getrimmt viele Trichome auszubilden, da dass Hauptaugenmerk ja auch auf die THCV Produktion gelegt wurde. Ich hoffe dass sich die Samenproduktion in Grenzen hält Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind ok: ————— 🌞 Temp: 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,10 kPa 😎 PPFd: 830 mqm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Vše jde skvěle až na vyšší teploty se kterými stejně nic nemohu udělat. Haze Berry mění barvu. Vypadá úžasně a voní jako ovoce. Shogun 1,4,5, voní jako borovice a Shogun 2,3 voní jako citrón. Special Kush voní sladce, je to okouzlující aroma. Shining Silver Haze je zcela bez vůně ale ma nejvíce pryskyřice a nejtvrdší květy. Jednou zalévám pouze s RQS tabletami easy bloom booster (jedna tableta na 8 litrů) EC 0.7-1. Podruhé RQS tablety easy bloom booster (jedna tableta na 6 litrů) + hnojiva od Biobizz EC 1,7-1,9. Zalévám každou z rostlin tak, aby měla dostatečný odtok

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.😍😍😍

Hot and dry all week, we've only seen 6mm of rain in 2 months! Over 30c most days, but just cooling down a bit now. Light LST on some of the taller nodes using bud clips. Removed some inner nodes that just didn't catch up to the overall canopy. Pistils starting to show, maybe mark start of flower shortly. Tossed another net over to add some support will double it up over in another 2 weeks and she should be fine till the end of flower. Just drip and LCPT this week.

420Fastbuds Cinderella Auto Week 4 What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 2 wonderful ladies. This week I did introduce some nutes and the plants seem to respond amazing. Starting to see little pistols so guessing this will be the last week of veg before the transition into flower. All in all Happy Growing

Sticking with a Seedsman strain this run as they seem to be the most consistent in my personal experience. Seeds always sprout, have had a 100 percent success rate germinating seeds from Seedsman after popping at least a couple from 4 different strains of theirs. On top of that the quality has been there each harvest so we are giving one of their most popular strains a go and we shall see where it takes us. Although this run I will be trying amended coco coir instead of my usual peat based mediums in an attempt to avoid a pH fallout when the dolomite lime wears out or is used by the plant and allows the peat to become more acidic mid flower. At least this is my theory.. I guess Ill find out. Another thing to note is that for germination I start in a glass of water for 12 hours and then transfer the seeds into the paper towel method by placing them in a damp paper towel until the tap roots are long enough to plant into starting pots.. by far my most successful method personally.

Bewässerung: 5000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Elften Woche pH-Wert: 5,8 EC-Wert: 0,4 mS/cm Temperatur: 20ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 65% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Diese Woche haben wir ihr Wasser mit Nematoden gegeben da sich doch vermehrt Trauermücken im Bereich aufhalten. PPFD: Direktes Sonnenlicht DLI: Direktes Sonnenlicht -Tag 65 Heute wieder mal gegossen und wir haben den Zaun entfernt und ein Gestell um sie gemacht so können sie sich anlehnen und gleichzeitig auch die Membrana :) -Tag 66 Die Candy Bubatz XL #3 bildet sehr schöne Blüten und ist im vergleich zu den anderen ein richtiger Hingucker, wenn das Wetter Trocken bleibt wird sie so in 2 bis 3 Wochen fertig sein. -Tag 69 Heute haben wir die gegossen mir ca. 5l Wasser und 500ml Brenneseljauche

First week of flowering! I chose to also do some lst on this lady, a bit of a different approach. She survived a couple of very warm days(32°C). The lower leaves started to die off so I used some more nutes. Watered with 2l(nutes), 1,5l(no nutes) and 2l(nutes). She is starting to smell a bit also, looking forward to seeing the buds!

Was für ein toller Strain. Die Pflanze wuchs von Anfang an sehr stark. Sie brauchte wenig Nährstoffe und hat sich nach nur 4 Wochen Vegitationsphase sehr schnell entwickelt. 7 1/2 Wochen nach Umstellung auf 12/12 war sie für meinen Geschmack fertig. Sie ist voll von Trichomen und der Duft erobert innerhalb von Sekunden den Raum. Jetzt darf sie Trocknen und fermentieren. Sobald sie fertig ist gibt es einen Rauchbericht. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen!!!!

Expected more of a vertical stretch this past week but maybe that’s what’s going to happen next; smell is weak but it’s just the beginning; stay tuned
