I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Ihr Stamm ist sehr schnell fest geworden,was das LST des Haupt triebes etwas erschwert.Ansonsten macht sie gute Fortschritte,wenn man bedenkt dass es momentan noch max 17 Grad celsius und 80 Prozent Luftfeuchte sind.Dies sollte sich jedoch in der nächsten Woche regeln,da es dann wärmer wird und ich die schlitze des Zeltes dann aufmachen kann,ohne dass es darin zu kalt wird. Ihr Topf ist schon gut durchwurzelt und wahrscheinlich benötigt sie bald einen größeren,jedoch lasse ich sie ersteinmal wachsen und nehme in einer Woche ein paar stecklinge. Diese Genetik ist echt der Hammer,sie hat einen Ultra dicken stamm für ihre größe und bildet an einem Seitentriebe noch einen zusätzlichen Mini Trieb aus.Aus diesem Grund nehme ich mir von ihr einige Stecklinge und versuche die Genetik als Mutterpflanze zu halten. Sie macht mit den zusätzlichen Trieben einfach weiter,Es wachsen schon 3 mal 3 Triebe auf gleicher Höhe,das ist einfach der Wahnsinn.

Con esta cosecha estoy muy satisfecho. En cuanto a peso bruto me pareció una locura a la hora de la balanza. Sus cogollos son increíblemente densos y llorosos. Planta muy resistente al calor y a grandes cantidades de luz. En un ambiente soleado sería genial! De momento mucho olor a goma de mascar y un toque de diesel. Veremos como actúa después del secado y actualizaré con notas de humo y pitado en seco. Saludos a todos y mucho amor en estas fiestas!!

Made it through 7 weeks of flower and the girls are really starting to show themselves. Twisted helix just sucks. Trying to push her another week then she will be made into bubble hash. Sugar Cane is the frostiest of the bunch but buds are pretty small compared to others. Jack Herer has the fattest buds of the bunch and a strong lemon aroma. Platinum jelly is looking nice and frosty. Twisted velvet appears to be a little behind the others but looking nice. I am thinking that the blackcherry punch will be the winner of this grow. Her buds are just covered in beautiful frost and they are also pretty fat and plump. Looks like she is going to put off a nice yield. I have started harvesting pollen from sugar cane clones and dusting the breeder clones. I gave them their first pollination a few days ago, the second today, and will dust them again in a few days. I have been collecting individual pollen sacs as they mature to speed up the process and try to maximize the amount of pollen I can store for later use. It is like trying to do brain surgery on an ant 🐜🐜. I am already seeing a lot of pistils start to brown so things are looking good.

I’m flipping 12/12 this evening. I had a little tip burn on a couple of leaves of the Fullgas. These were in the central area of the light so I just eased off a little on the light intensity and haven’t noticed any issue since. It’s also a little dark atm so will hold off adding the bio grow until next week. Update ** Ive upped the light power by 10% again and watered in 4ml of Alg a mic in 2L of water.

📆 Semana 6 Las plantas entran de lleno en la fase de engorde, con las raíces trabajando a buen ritmo y una absorción eficiente que se refleja en un verde sano en toda la canopia. El estiramiento ya quedó atrás y los cogollos siguen compactando. Los erizos ganan volumen y la capa de resina empieza a hacerse más evidente, señal de que la planta dirige su energía a densidad y producción de terpenos. Los aromas se vuelven más presentes y el cultivo muestra una estructura homogénea, con las flores tomando protagonismo día a día. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

This girl is gonna have some gourgous colas bud sights everywhere colas starting to swell and stack she just got a big defoliation to expose all the bud sights and she was getting to bushy so she definitely needed it still getting recharge and bloom city another couple weeks of that and then I'll be getting ready for late flower then give her a carboload to increase them sugars upped her calmag cause I noticed in the 5 gallon pots they use more calmag in the middle of flowering keeping the pH at 6.2 this plagron green sensation is getting added in to the mix trichomes starting to get thick she is sticky and starting to get a little smell to her under canopy lighting is rocking and you can see it on the lower branches nice thick stalk so here's to another week of growing lfg

Week 7 of flower Day 47 Flower Day 72 from seed. ~Week Average~ Temp: 72-82f RH: 35-42% PH: 5.9-6.2 Notes: I gave them one feed of over drive during this week and then just water. I started to look at trichromes and noticed mostly cloudy some amber. So I’ve decided I will do one more feed with flawless finish in two days. Then I will flush until the ladies are to my liking. I am super happy with the trichrome production of the Walter white she sure does put on! The smell is lemony, citrusy, and creamy. Will update ASAP! Happy cultivating!🤙🏽

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.😍😍😍

My god she is getting chunky, I've stepped up the bio Diesel to fatten her up this week. Plenty of trichomes forming now and she has started to put out a very sweet but chemical smell. I have had issues with humidity this week due to constant rain, I will purchase an air-con to dry out the air next week if I can't keep it under control.

I put her a week earlier in flower because I don’t have a flower room on 18/6. My 2 grow rooms are on 12/12 and 13/11. I stopped with moving my Amnesia Haze to the balcony for 6 hours and later 12 hours under my kind led K3 lamp, because it stressed her out too much. That is because I’m in a wheelchair and that’s why I can not move her in a gentle way. Normally I grow my plant on 1 location without moving her unless I’m training them or transplant them. I’m not happy with her growth but that is my fault by causing the plant to stress too much with moving her around😅. In future contests I will not make the same mistake, because of my condition. This plant fall of my lap and more shit because of spasms, what for sure fuck with her growth. Good luck in your gardens guys and girls✌️👋. ❌ ❌ ❌

Stretch Season Approaching? 🌇 | RHC Enters Preflower Elegantly A fresh update from the balcony garden! My Red Hot Cookies photoperiod has officially entered preflower—a beautiful turning point in the season and a clear sign she’s gearing up for the stretch ahead. 🌀🌿 After some intense vegetative growth, she’s responded well to topping and training, with her canopy now standing tall and open, ready for the sun to do its magic. Her stature is becoming more impressive by the day, and the signs of preflower are clearly visible in the latest close-ups and video. 📸✨ Even nature’s allies came to inspect this week—a little ladybug made an appearance during filming and decided to hang out for a bit. 🍀🐞 Always a good omen in the garden! This Week’s Care Routine: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 4 ml/l for steady veg support 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/l to keep her strong and balanced 🔸 Dechlorinated Tap Water – always rested for 24h before use 🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea – full of life and microbe support 🔸 Effective Microorganisms – boosting soil vitality 🔸 pH: 6.4 🔸 EC: 1800 µS She’s in a strong spot—tall, healthy, vibrant, and showing no signs of slowing down. I’m genuinely excited to see how she stretches from here and how the first buds begin to develop under the late summer sun. The season is still full of promise, and I’ll keep sharing the journey. 🌞🌱 Stay tuned—there’s still so much more to come!

Things to look forward to this week: More defoliating! Just trying to strike that balance of airiness and photosynthesis. Plus, I gotta get rid of a bunch of useless back-budding throughout the girls. Focus on that canopy! New dehumidifer on the way. It should be running by Wednesday. Hoping to get down the 45% RH for some arbitrary reason! And it will help me cure better too. I keep telling myself the money is worth it. Started treating my water with some calcium hypochlorite, a.k.a. pool shock, at a rate of 2 PPM which I've worked out to 0.15 g for 50 L (my standard tank build). That doesn't sound like much, but it is detectable on the nose. I'm not concerned about 2 PPM ending up absorbed in the plant, it takes in a certain amount of chlorine anyway and this is well below cannabis' phytotoxicity, apparently. The takeaway: it's safe, just like using city tap (many places) to water plants. 8/5/2019 - The girls look great. Went through and removed a lot of growth with a better sense of what to cull. Snipped a load of bud growth branches that would never make it to the top. They were mostly skrawny sucker branches and a few that would have made nice colas if they managed to reach the light. Gonna be picking out root rot and treating with H2O2 for the dead roots from site 5. Starting to see some brown, just need it not to spread to the living plants. Treating with a 2 PPM chlorine dosage to the reservoir. Had to purge the accumulators anyhow, so everything is being treated with antimicrobial now. I won't get to see them until after work tomorrow, any changes in health will be evident. 8/9/2019 - Dehumidifier #2 arrived today. It shows delivery at 12:20 and the driver placed it right-side-up, so I am good to start it right away. Immediately, I am a little surprised at how warm the air is coming out of this thing. I'll keep an eye on temps.... 8/10/2019 - Wow, the reservoir from the dehumidifier filled up in the middle of the 12 hour cycle and shut off automatically. Really pulled a lot of water out of the air! The temps got too high though. Not too long after lights on today, they temp read 90 degrees F, and I can't have that. Moved dehumidifier outside of tent and now draining into 5 gallon bucket. The tent is moving enough air that the humidity inside and out is the same. Seeing if it can lower the humidity enough outside the tent to benefit.
