Después del cambio de solución y con el agregado del h2o2, explotaron... los nutrientes siguen estables y madida que pasan los días mejora el PH, en el cuarto día de la semana noto que han consumido +o- 7 u 8 ltrs de agua. Por ser mi primer cultivo creo que de momento va todo bien. Todavía los olores están controlados. Pero si siguen creciendo así no se como llegarán al fin de la floración, no me queda mucho margen para mover los led. Termino la semana con un PH ideal, nivel de EC en 1,7 y agregué nutrientes a la solución.. consumen mucha agua o se evapora...Y con a triste noticia del mas grande de todos los tiempos! AD10s DIEGO!

Sensi Seeds Research – „Cherry Strudel“ ​Willkommen zu einem weiteren Kapitel unserer botanischen Analyse! In diesem Projekt untersuchen wir die Sorte Cherry Strudel aus der Research-Linie von Sensi Seeds. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Sensi Seeds für die Bereitstellung der feminisierten Samen im Rahmen dieser Dokumentation. ​ Sortenprofil – Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds) ​Genetik: Diese zu 65 % Indica-dominante Hybride ist eine komplexe Kreuzung aus Ed Rosenthal Super Bud und einer Mischung aus Red Velvet sowie Lemon Cherry Gelato. In Kooperation mit Sherbinskis entwickelt, fließen hier Einflüsse von Sunset Sherbert und Girl Scout Cookies ein. ​Wuchs & Morphologie: Die Pflanzen wachsen zu relativ niedrigen (70 bis 100 cm indoor), aber sehr produktiven Einheiten heran. Charakteristisch ist die klassische Weihnachtsbaumform mit einer dominanten zentralen Cola und starken Seitenzweigen, die sich hervorragend für Techniken wie SCROG oder Lollipopping eignen. ​Blühdauer: Mit 65 bis 70 Tagen weist der Cherry Strudel eine relativ lange Blütezeit auf, die wir in unserem Protokoll genauestens überwachen werden. ​Terpenprofil & Aroma: Wir erwarten ein dekadentes Bouquet aus Kirschsorbet, Zitronenschale und cremiger Vanille, ergänzt durch subtile erdige Untertöne. ​Wirkung: Die Sorte verspricht eine vielseitige Erfahrung – beginnend mit einem euphorischen Energieschub, der allmählich in eine tiefe, körperliche Entspannung übergeht, ohne einen vollständigen „Couchlock“ zu verursachen. ​⚙️ Experimentelles Setup ​Unser bewährtes Stufensystem: ​Start: Spiderfarmer Pflanzständer (54W LED) bei ca. 140 PPFD / 9DLI und 18h Beleuchtung. ​Substrat-Zyklus: Easyplug (30ml) ➔ Easy Cube (400ml) ➔ 3L Stofftopf ​Mikroklima: 25°C und 65-70% RLF. Cherry Strudel (Sensi Seeds Research) ​Status: Keimung im Rekordtempo ​Tag 0.1: Das Paket von Sensi Seeds wurde in Empfang genommen und der Samen ging direkt für 10h ins 1% H202 Bad, anschließend in den Easyplug. ​Tag 0.2: Geduldsphase? Von wegen. Die Sensi-Genetik zeigt enorme Vitalität. ​​Tag 0.3: Rekordzeit! Die Cherry Strudel hat die Oberfläche bereits voll durchbrochen. Die Keimblätter sind geöffnet und das erste echte Blattpaar lässt sich im Zentrum schon erahnen. Aufgrund dieses Tempos wurde sie direkt mit in den 400 ml Easy Cube umgesetzt. Das DLI wurde auf 16 erhöht. ​Tag 0.4: Alles unter Kontrolle. Die Pflanze zeigt extrem vitales Wachstum und gewöhnt sich an die „Elektro-Sonne“. ​Tag 0.5: Die ersten echten Blätter entfalten sich sehr schnell. Die Pflanze wirkt sehr kräftig. ​Tag 0.6: Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit wird auf 60–65 % gehalten. Die Oberfläche des Cubes wird zur Algenprävention gezielt abgetrocknet. ​Tag 0.7: Abschluss der Keimwoche. Die Cherry Strudel zeigt eine beeindruckende Blattentwicklung und hat die Hossegor in der Blattspannweite bereits leicht überholt. ​Düngung & Messwerte: Kein Dünger oder Wasser notwendig, da der Cube noch ausreichend feucht ist und Nährstoffe bereithält. ​Messwerte: Temp: 25°C | RLF: 65-70% | Licht: Erhöht auf 245 PPFD (18h). ​⚖️ Rechtshinweis & Compliance ​Dieses Tagebuch dient ausschließlich der wissenschaftlichen Dokumentation. Wir garantieren die strikte Einhaltung des CanG.

This adventure started with a friend’s gift and without any bigger efforts I’m able to keep this lady growing, pretty and hopefully, she will give me a good return. Currently the started the flowering stage, the plant is placed near my kitchen window with a 200W led light and recently a small fan and some nutrients. Hope I can get some useful comments considering my lower expertise.

What a difference a week makes, now starting week 4 and moved them up into their final pots now that I have some space in the tent and they are currently under 600w dual spec and a 315w daylight, I have topped 5 of the 6 but left one as it looks like it’s a stocky plant anyway, they all look like they should be impressive plants so far and visibly growing by the day 😊

On day 1 week 4 flower the girls are bulking up smelling great and some pistils are turning orange. The trichomes are still mostly clear with some milky trichomes starting. On day 3 one of my blumats had a runaway I believe from fertilizer sediment all I can do this late in the game is to lower the flow rate and hope that will solve the problem. It is strange that this is the same blumat that flooded when I went on vacation earlier on in the grow. I will inspect the blumat closer when I finish the grow. I tightened the carrot down 1.5 carrots. Except for the minor flood the girls are doing very well, even though they are too close to my grow lights :). On day 6 almost all the buds are starting to have a second growth spurt with some small white pistils showing, the trichome concentration is visibly growing and I expect to harvest the girls between week 8 and 9 of flower.

Quite a week!! I did a light defoliation on day 30... I just did a heavy defoliation again on day 36.... I hope they handle this well!! I watered them on day 31 & 33... I I fed them a half dose of all 3 nutrients on day 35... They are starting to stink!! The Cloudline T6 works great!! I also LST'ed them on day 30... they seem to be opening up pretty good... even though I was really late applying the LST.... still learning!! Alana is 16" tall and Anna is 20" tall... Alana grew 6" this week!!! Incredible! I've been battling some humidity lately... it's been in the low 60's for the most part... that's part of the reason I so heavily defoliated today! Otherwise, this grow is going really well!! You'll notice I moved them into the flowering 4X4 tent... I needed to make room in the veg tent.... I germinated 2 Seedsman Strawberry Cheesecake Auto seeds and I'll start their diary tomorrow! Cheers!!

They getting more thirsty, I have to water every 3 days now instead of once a week. I got a nice 4x4 tent so they can have there own space. Thinking about grabbing some cuttings off them to to keep them going and might start a whole new run with them🔥 to be continued.....🤟🏾

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! 🌱💪😂

Pretty normal week. No issues or problems this week. The Green Tea strain from Mosca Seeds is doing very well. She is growing pretty much the way she should right now so really just watering, fertilizing and watching her grow. She will be big enough soon to transplant into a bigger fabric pot. She will also be ready to top soon. I will have to get some more info on this strain before I decide if I want to top her or not.

Week 9 update Orange sherbert: grew tall with the plants focus on the tips of the plant . The one in the video we were using the water from our dehumidifier first thing, that gave it a little yellowing . I think it was a soil deficiency, if this was a photosensitivity strain i would have out more time into "fixing" the problem. Original cheese : this one grew golf balls size nugs from bottom to top. On the next one I will be lollipoping , the top nugs now are about 3-6 inches long , and just "DRIPPIN LIKE A FRESH SET OF PAINT " in the words of snopp dog! These will be the first plants to harvest . Six shooter - this plant is going to be one of the last ones we harvest. At this point I think the pot we used for this strain was too big . It is a leaf goddess , I'm thinking a good amount of these plants will be made into hash , due to the amount of sugar leaves on the plant. DEFOLIATE NEXT TIME TEAM! Gorilla Cookies : still in my opinion has about 2 or more weeks to go . She is still finishing its height , mostly done growing taller , and now she is putting the energy into the flower! All in all these are some damn fine plants!!

Put the largest nothern lights in its own mini green house, both have x2 large bug nets around them instead of a plastic cover as the temps and humidity were off but are perfect now. Plus it will reduce the chances of bugs flying in while also allowing the wind to pass through, I’ve used some Biobizz leaf spray no further leafs have been eaten since using it which I’m happy about.

Questa è la prima GMO che raccolgo, cime molto più dense rispetto alla runtz e sembra essere molto più pesante, tra qualche giorno raccoglierò l'altra e poi mancano solo le due più grandi
