So this Mybfirst attempt at straining via ScrOG. I think is going pretty good. Experienced ScrOG gets I’m happy to hear some constructive criticism. I did some light defoliation this past week, a few here and a few there for a couple days strain just to uncover some new bud sights. Someone mentioned I’d never fill that 3x4 screen with just that one plant in a 10 gallon, but I have faith.

Not hyped on the weight but some quality buds! It's my fault they stayed small anyways due to my grow room isn't great Did 12h of darkness and a full 3 weeks flush

Hello everyone, All my gorilla x white widow plants are in bigger pots last week i already transplanted one to a 30 liter pot since a couple of hours the other two are sitting in a 21 and 39 liter airpot. The next step is letting them build some roots for at least 14 days before thinking of switching to flower. Let's see how they look next week, thanks for stopping by and have a nice week. Best regards Growfather

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.😍😍😍

Day 70 Sorry, from now on i will update very little, i'm not doing soo much at this point, just keeping feeding. Tomorrow last big defoliation. Day 72 It's becoming pretty difficult to shoot photos in there.. i barely have space to add water to the buckets ( now 8 liters every day), added net for support and "constriction" of pinus because she's huge and was starting to trow shadow on the fresh pressed runtz.

So gonna stick with 1ml/l for the rest of the grow now, i think the problems were just too much in the soil and since lowering nutes the problems are slowing down. Another week or two for the Zkittlez, seeing amber on the sugar leaves but not quite on the buds yet although it is mostly cloudy. Lemon AK is behing as it was germed later but still looks to be forming some nice buds and now has a fantastic smell of its own. Looking forward to these so much cant wait!!!!

Good day everyone! The seed sprouted within 2 days. I used small starter tray to get the first roots. After 2 days the plant grouwen out and I already can see good roots. I will use Budget DWC system made from : simple black basket for 1$ , air pump for 10$ , air tubes( stones) for 4$ , small pot 0.4$, white filler ( from old tv cartoon box) to fix the plant until the roots will fix it, black tape 0.5$ to isolate the pot, black cover for the top 2$. total about 17-20$ you can make same. I confirm it works PERFECT. Please check the pictures for more info. Every 2-3 months I got a high-quality buds and wonder how fast they grow up !!! :OOO

She’s been a bit fussy, with some color draining from a few leaves. But she’s been just a bit fussy the whole time. It looks like I’ll be getting more color change this round.

The seeds germinated in two days. I put them in the dark in the cellar where the temperature was stable at 25 degrees. .

8/17 Week 5 Flipping Lights set to 11-13 for the first few days then 12-12 Nuets will transition accordingly Took two cuttings for clones Reducing feeds to once a day during the switch Intro Cocotek Bloom a/b at 5ml/gal each Reduce Grow to 10ml/g each Next feed half and half 8/19 Switching to 12-12 from 11-13 think its done its work changes are afoot 8/20 Colas forming quickly may have to flip the week to Flower, lets hope so 😉 They getting a dose of Kangaroots 5ml/g and Fish Shit 2ml/g at intervals during transition purely as plants seem to need. Pics tonight 8/21 Not there entirely yet but wont be long at all Vertical growth has picked up strongly, 2" in 3 days, though I really wont call it stretch yet Continued light defoliation keeping center clear Nuets as is for now

CAKED!!!!!! lol shes turning white shes so caked with trichs. I'm starting to see a little plumping as well so thats great!!! She looks like shes gonna be knocking some people on thier butts thats for sure!!!! Been pretty smooth sailing so thats always nice. Removed a couple of the autos from the tent and now the main ladies are left for another week mayb 2. I checked the trichs today and mostly clear still.

GMO × Triangle Mints BX – Week 15 Veg | Approaching the Solstice She’s turning into a proper outdoor plant. 130cm and the canopy has filled out into a dense, even structure with tops stacked all the way across — the LST work from earlier in the season is clearly written into how she looks right now. Health is solid, colour is deep green throughout, no concerns. Sitting at 17 hours of daylight right now, right up against the solstice peak. She’s making the most of every hour — water consumption holding at 5L per feed, and she’s clearly using all of it. Nutrients unchanged: CANNA Aqua Vega 4ml/l, CalMag Agent 1.1ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH 6.2, EC 1.5 mS/cm. The coming week is looking like the best of the season — mostly dry, temperatures pushing up to 30°C on Tuesday, a touch of rain expected Thursday night, then back to warm and settled. Winds light throughout. If she keeps this pace through the solstice and into early July she’s going to be a serious plant by the time she flips. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned. 🌿

Zamnesia's Lemon Cherry Gelato seems to be flowering very quickly; we're in our third week, and we have a nice main cola forming. It's a bit sensitive to fertilizer, so we only use a small amount of base fertilizer and additives, always monitoring for signs of overgrowth. We're growing in an 11-liter square plastic pot. Techniques chosen: The plant was left to grow and we pruned the lower parts thoroughly to give the upper parts a boost. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we've chosen is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get the grow started more smoothly and reliably, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is more than enough, so we're not overdoing it. We're in the early stages of flowering, but we're well-equipped with nutrients and additives. We've added: - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Alga Bloom 3 ml/l - Power Buds 1 ml/l - Green Sensation 1 ml/l ** Plagron recommends Green Sensation from the 4th week of flowering, but if the plant is a fast-flowering plant, I start earlier when I see the buds forming. The booster is useful while the flower is forming, and also at the end to consolidate. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is now at 80% Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop It looks more than promising. Try it. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11242-zamnesia-seeds-lemon-cherry-gelato.html Z - Lemon Cherry Gelato is an extraordinary hybrid capable of offering a complete and satisfying experience to all growers and cannabis enthusiasts. This premium strain is the result of crossing Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies, two strains renowned for their high quality and delicious aromas. With a genetic makeup composed of 60% indica and 40% sativa, Lemon Cherry Gelato produces stimulating and dynamic effects. With 26% THC, it infuses deeply relaxing vibes, keeping the mind clear and alert. Lemon Cherry Gelato easily adapts to any growing environment. Indoor plants maintain a compact structure, reaching 110 cm in height, making them ideal for limited spaces. Outdoors, this strain grows up to 140 cm. Extremely adaptable, this strain responds well to cultivation techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST), allowing growers to optimize space and increase final yields. Indoors, a minimum of 600 g/m² is possible after a flowering period of 8-9 weeks. Outdoors, plants will reach maturity in September and, in optimal conditions, will yield around 1000 g each. Thanks to its innate resistance, Lemon Cherry Gelato is perfect for both beginners and experienced growers. You already know this, but I recommend it: here you will find many beautiful things, essentially "the best that nature has to offer."
