Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop, which had an enhanced and more potent THC content and was more intense in terms of smell. The third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL, which has a similar THC content but an enhanced heavier yield. The smoke is incredible, with an outstanding flavor of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its earthy solid scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene, which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odor. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain, and the effect is well-balanced, developing mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The intense solid aroma starts early in the flowering period; if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors, you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse these babies' stinky "road kill" aroma! Cheese XXL is a cheese strain suited to indoor setups and thrives outdoors well. These feminized marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mold and disease and produce a substantial harvest that professional and amateur growers can quickly achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis, so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency, and flavor, Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. She's doing good. Did some trimming up on her last week. Got some of those huge leaves taken off, so the branch tops can get some light and grow. Trimmed under the plant too. Took off those sucker branches, the ones that don't reach up through the canopy.. I'll let her heal this week and then turn her over to flowering next week. OK. Be Good. and Merry... Happy... to All.

Week 3 of Flower (Day 15-21) Should be the last days of stretch. Hopefully, because the height is limited and i do not want to rethink the top of my growtent. Beautiful flower development and i have had no problems in flower so far. I will turn the nutes up a bit, as they have not complained so far. Furthermore, i will lollipop or make a major defoliation when stretch is done, in order to deal with temp and humidity. (airflow) 👽👉24/10 Praying hands, very happy ladies. 👽👉25/10 I am keeping a close eye to the grow, as i have implemented low-energy-consumption solutions, whenever the price of electricity is higest. Meaning the climate is less steady, in some times on the day. 👽👉26/10 I was supposed to water today, however my schedule did not allow. They do not have any drooping leaves yet, they will be fine. 👽👉27/10 Waterday* and cleaning up the dead bottom leaves. Upped my nutes from 1.77 EC to 2.08 EC Bioheaven 2ML/L > 3 BioGrow 2 ML/L > 2.5 BioBloom 1.5ML/L > 2.5 TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L > 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L 👽👉28/10 Upped the nutes quite a bit yesterday, so exiting to see their reaction. Until now they look healthy and responded well. 👽👉29/10 Amazing development. 👽👉30/10 Waterday* Ph 6.2 and they shared 12.5 liter Bioheaven 3ML/L BioGrow 2.5 ML/L BioBloom 2.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

Tak holky v sedmém týdnu květu, green jsem musel ovázat jelikož boční větve neudrží váhu palic a nechci ho už vyndavat ze stanu a bych ho nepolamal a jelikož nepobral green sensation tak dobře jako killer , nechám ho nejspíš dojet na základu a asi přidám trochu calmagu. Killer ten zatím baští všechno co dostane a moc si nestěžuje.

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! 🌱💪😂

**Semaine 5 : Cinquième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking (18-24 mars 2026)** **Note :** transition réussie vers le bulk végétatif. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 5 = entrée franche dans le **bulking** pur. Le stretch est terminé, l’énergie est désormais massivement redirigée vers le gonflement des buds, la production de trichomes et l’accumulation de masse/resine. Steering : **végétatif confirmé** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback contrôlé mais moins agressif que pendant le stretch, VWC plus stable). Objectif principal : maximiser le volume et la densité des buds tout en maintenant une santé parfaite jusqu’au pic de résine (semaines 6-8). **Petit point éducation + tips sur la fin du stretch et le passage en bulking** - **Fin du stretch** : chez la plupart des variétés hybrides/indica-dominantes comme Sticky Broccoli, le stretch s’arrête ou ralentit fortement entre la fin de semaine 3 et milieu de semaine 5. Ici, seulement +10 cm cette semaine (vs +20 cm/semaine auparavant) → c’est **parfaitement normal et souhaitable**. La plante a fini d’étirer ses entrenœuds et passe en mode « remplissage ». - **Pourquoi les buds grossissent maintenant + trichomes apparaissent** : La combinaison steering végétatif + EC 2.6-2.95 + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + enzymes + CO₂ 900 ppm + DLI 32 + UV 45 min/jour crée un environnement hyper favorable à la division cellulaire et à la biosynthèse des cannabinoïdes/terpènes. Les trichomes (glandes résineuses) commencent à se multiplier et à grossir dès la semaine 5 chez les génétiques résineuses. C’est le moment où on voit la plante « s’épaissir » vraiment. - **Tips concrets pour maximiser le bulking** : - Ne pas monter l’EC trop vite (3.2-3.4 risque de lockout léger en coco) - Garder le VPD jour 0.9-1.2 kPa et nuit 0.8-1.1 → transpiration optimale sans stress - Augmenter progressivement l’UV (45 → 90 min/jour en semaine 6) pour booster terpènes et THC - Surveiller le runoff pH (idéal 5.8-6.2) → si il descend sous 5.7, petite montée pH solution 0.1-0.2 - Photos tous les 2-3 jours pour détecter tôt tout jaunissement bas ou pointe de feuille qui brunit ### Observations des Plantes - **Plante dominante** : a clairement pris le dessus. Hauteur actuelle **~1m50** (seulement +10 cm cette semaine). Stretch terminé, structure très grosse et aérée, canopée dense mais bien pénétrée par la lumière. - **Buds** : commencent à vraiment grossir, les calices s’épaississent, premiers trichomes visibles à l’œil nu sur les buds supérieurs (légère brillance sucrée). Pistils encore majoritairement blancs mais commencent à s’enrouler légèrement. - **Vigueur générale** : excellente, vert profond, pas de carence visible, pas de burn, pas de pest. La plante secondaire est plus petite mais suit bien. Clones toujours très sains. - Zéro signe de stress, plantes en pleine forme et concentrées sur le remplissage floral. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse 18-22 mars) - **Température jour** : 23-25 °C (cible actuelle 23-25, leaf temp ~24-27) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C (cible 18-20) - **Humidité jour** : 64-74 % → baisse progressive vers 60-70 en fin de semaine - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa jour/nuit (stable et optimal pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : ~733-750 (max ~814) → DLI ~32 mol/m²/jour (parfait) - **UV** : 45 min/jour (prévu +45 min en semaine 6) - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (non mesuré précisément mais actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6-2.95 mS/cm (baisse légère récente à 2.6) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Irrigation** : Fréquente, runoff 20-30 % quotidien - **Steering** : Végétatif (confirmé) - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % (très contrôlé) ### Problèmes et Ajustements Aucun problème majeur. - Légère baisse EC feed (de ~3.0-3.4 → 2.6) : volontaire pour éviter accumulation en coco pendant le pic de bulking. - Température jour un peu haute par moments (25-27 leaf) → surveiller pour éviter stretch résiduel ou transpiration excessive. - UV à 45 min → bonne montée prévue semaine 6. ### Plans pour la Semaine 6 - Continuer steering végétatif + possible petit pic EC/PK si buds semblent ralentir. - Augmenter UV à 90 min/jour. - Légère défoliation sélective (feuilles qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur buds inférieurs). - Photos rapprochées pour suivre trichomes et gonflement. - Préparer clones mères si sélection finale. Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds prennent vraiment du volume maintenant, la plante dominante est impressionnante à 1m50 et les premiers trichomes visibles → ça sent le gros rendement qui arrive ! 🌱✨

7/27 Transplanted as roots beginning to exit the cups on Titania and Pea Into 5 gal pots one time dose of kangaroots 10ml/gal and Fish SHit 2ml/gal 7/28 They are surprising us with the rapid growth already looking at topping in a few days while still in week since showing green. Lights on hours reduced due to heat to 16 Nuets increased to next stage 7/31 Being forced to use Cal-Mag per the feeding schedule released by GH was hoping it would not be needed but yes can see the beginnings of def. Thats one strike on the new nuet line. Adding 1.5 ml/gal cal-mag on routine basis and not happy about it 8/2 From results we are seeing have decided to go back to the cocotek, this is ok but getting problems we just did not have with the other line. Some color lightening on her as well as Pea

Day 14 flower Hey Growers So day 14 of flower, I decided to defoliate as the tent was getting so overgrown. They are drying out quickly and the media is dense with roots. They are going to require daily watering very shortly. They seem quite happy and doing well. You can see in one of the pictures, the leaf edge is raised, which idk exactly what that is. I’ve decreased the light to 70% until I know how they’ll react. Other than that just put in the trellis to support the tops. Happy Growing 🌱
