12/6/2022: Strawberry Gushers is really starting to fade. Some nice purple showing up on some of the leaves. She has some droopy leaves, so I think she is a bit over watered. I skipped watering her today, other than a light mist to keep the soil on top moist. Orange Bubblegum is looking good. Still showing some fading on the lowers, so I hit her with a compost tea today. About 1 liter. The Newberry is also showing some fading on the lowers, but her leaves are slightly drooping too, so I only gave her .5 liters of the tea. 12/7/2022: watered in the 2nd dose of nematodes today, even though there are only a couple fungas gnats left. Gave each plant 1 liter, mixed with the ThermX-70 and some FishShit. The big update today is with the Strawberry Gushers. I found a few nanners. Caught them real early and plucked them, but if more show up I may have to harvest earlier than expected. Used my Bluetooth microscope today to look at the tricomes and Orange Bubblegum is mainly all foggy, with very little amber. I hope I can give her at least another week or two. The Orange Bubblegum and Newberry are a mix of cloudy and clear, with no amber, other than on the leaves, which doesn't count in my book. I'd still say another 3 to 4 weeks. 12/9/2022: The Strawberry Gushers is really fading, and the other two are starting to fade more as well. The Strawberry Gushers is not taking up water as fast anymore, so I just misted the top soil. For the Orange Bubblegum and Newberry I watered 1.3 liters at 6.6 ph, mixed with BuildABloom, coconut powder, and ThermX-70. Also added some fresh aloa juice I made for a new 3x3 bed I'm starting. Did not see any other naners, and the fungas gnats are almost completely gone!!! 12/10/2022: (Day 75) had about 2 liters of leftover water from by 3x3 bed I'm making soil for, so I split that between the 3 plants, mainly just to wet the top soil. Realized after the fact that the water had some Rootwise Micro Complete in it, which the plants don't need at this point, but it won't hurt. Ph was about 6.5 and it also had some FishShit and ThermX-70 as always. Also, reduced the light intensity down again to 600 PPFD, which is a DLI of about 39. Avg. VPD:1.5 PPFD: 600 DLI: 39

đŸ‡ș🇾Week 3đŸ‡ș🇾 – Growth Explosion & First Training Back again for this week’s update! The Mother Gorilla is going crazy—she’s growing at an insane pace, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. The plant is super strong, and the leaves are just massive. Some are reaching up to 21 cm long, which is wild. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. And honestly, I have to say—I’m seriously impressed by Formulex from Growth Technology. I’ve been using the same nutrient solution since the start, and the results are just insane. It’s such a simple product, but what it’s delivering so far is absolutely incredible. I’ll be switching to growth fertilizers soon (they’re on the way), but for now, I’m sticking with Formulex, and it’s honestly blowing my mind. Environmental Conditions Not much has changed on that front. The environment is still dialed in: ‱ Temperature: ~22-23°C during the day, 18°C at night. ‱ Nutrient solution temp: Holding steady at 17-18°C. ‱ pH levels: Hovering around 5.8-6.0—had to adjust it slightly during the week, but nothing major. It’s stable overall. ‱ VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit): Still around 0.6, which seems to be working well. As long as it stays below 0.8, I think we’re in the sweet spot. ‱ Humidity: Holding at 70%. Everything’s been pretty stable, and it looks like the plant is loving it. Major Work This Week – Defoliation & Topping This week was huge in terms of plant training. The foliage was getting super dense, so I went in for a heavy defoliation, removing all the big fan leaves. On top of that, I topped the plant—cut the main shoot to redirect energy towards the secondary branches. The goal is to push those side branches so they can take full advantage of the SCROG I just set up! Now, it’s all about recovery. Hopefully, she bounces back strong, and we can really start working that SCROG. Alright, that’s it for this week! Let’s keep an eye on things and see how she responds. Super excited to check in next week and see how she evolves. đŸ‡«đŸ‡·Semaine 3đŸ‡«đŸ‡· – Explosion de croissance & Premier palissage De retour pour l’update de la semaine ! La Mother Gorilla part en vrille, elle pousse Ă  une vitesse folle et franchement, je suis super content. La plante est ultra vigoureuse, et les feuilles sont juste Ă©normes. Certaines atteignent 21 cm de longueur, c’est complĂštement dingue. Je crois que je n’ai jamais vu ça avant. Et franchement, je dois le dire—je suis vraiment impressionnĂ© par le Formulex de chez Growth Technology. J’utilise exactement la mĂȘme solution nutritive depuis le dĂ©but, et les rĂ©sultats sont juste dingues. C’est un produit hyper simple, mais ce que ça donne pour l’instant, c’est vraiment incroyable. Je vais bientĂŽt passer sur les engrais de croissance (ils sont en commande), mais en attendant, je continue avec Formulex, et ça me bluffe complĂštement. Conditions Environnementales Pas de gros changements de ce cĂŽtĂ©-lĂ , tout est toujours bien calĂ© : ‱ TempĂ©rature : ~22-23°C en journĂ©e, 18°C la nuit. ‱ TempĂ©rature de la solution nutritive : Toujours 17-18°C. ‱ pH : Entre 5.8 et 6.0—j’ai dĂ» l’ajuster un peu dans la semaine, mais rien de bien mĂ©chant. Globalement, c’est stable. ‱ VPD (DĂ©ficit de Pression de Vapeur) : Toujours aux alentours de 0.6, ce qui a l’air de bien convenir. Tant qu’on ne dĂ©passe pas 0.8, on est bien. ‱ HumiditĂ© : 70% constants. Tout est super stable et visiblement, la plante kiffe ça. Travaux de la semaine – DĂ©foliation & Topping Cette semaine, grosse session d’entretien. La canopĂ©e devenait hyper dense, donc j’ai fait une bonne dĂ©foliation, en enlevant toutes les grosses feuilles. J’ai aussi topĂ© la plante—j’ai coupĂ© l’apex principal pour rediriger l’énergie vers les branches secondaires. L’idĂ©e, c’est de booster les secondaires pour qu’elles profitent Ă  fond du SCROG que je viens d’installer ! Maintenant, elle doit rĂ©cupĂ©rer. J’espĂšre qu’elle va repartir de plus belle et qu’on va vraiment pouvoir bosser ce SCROG. VoilĂ  pour cette semaine ! On garde un Ɠil sur tout ça et on voit comment elle Ă©volue. HĂąte de voir ce que ça va donner la semaine prochaine ! đŸ€˜đŸ˜Ž

Day 99 – Royal resilience in full bloom! What a week it’s been in Ramsgate — mostly dry, high UV, and just enough breeze to test her stems! Yet this CBD Auto 20:1 by FastBuds stands proud and unfazed. She’s forming a majestic canopy with striking vertical growth, and those buds are stacking like she means business. After 17 days since the last Bat Guano top-dress, I’m preparing for a final microboost — a light sprinkle to support resin and terpene production as she enters her ripening phase. Yellowing lower leaves show she’s using her energy wisely, and given this organic setup — super soil, sunlight, and zero synthetic inputs — her response has been truly exceptional. A massive shoutout to FastBuds for creating such a powerful, stable, and sun-loving CBD strain! The vigor, resistance, and structure of this phenotype are nothing short of impressive — a real gift for low-intervention growers looking for clean, medicinal harvests. This lady is thriving with confidence, and I’m genuinely excited to see her final expression soon. Patience and sunlight are doing their magic.

17/08 - I had a 5 days travel, which worried me a little, mainly because my irrigation system did not arrive in time. But when I came back the plant seemed very healthy. The medium was dehydrated but as you can see even after some defoliation the plant continues to be very bushy. 19/08 - Very wide canopy! I have a 60x60cm tent and half of it it's taken by the Gelat. Og. Had to rearrange the tent. The Gelat. OG is little bit ahead of the other plant. 21/08 - Did defoliation to open more the canopy.

It's going great with these girls oya by the way there is only 2 now! Thats what happens when growing regular seeds you get males no biggie clones will make these 2 more!! 1 I have taken clones off already since100% female and toped and defoliated to produce many tops with net in flower tent. Getting a interesting smell off her it's sweet and skunky but it's very mild rn. Took some clones a day after moved them into 3 gallon show no sign of stress during transplant but play safe did next day and even after toping/ clone take and defoliate still stay strong no sign of shock!! So now have a clone off 1 will take other soon as preflower shows. Giving them there normal 5.6-5.7 ph and about a gallon of water every 3 days at the moment with the same dose of food for now. They seem to both be very happy and they love the 3 gallon pot. They both are very short and have indica dominate traits. The leafs are cute but still show hybrid traits as they are not fat like a thumb but still short fingers. Small spacing between nodes so that makes them both nice and get a star on there pots for 2 good traits! 1 with most stars at end of flower is the winning clone!!! Stay tuned Always changing

We are at the beginning of the 9th week of flowering. The trichomes are slowly beginning to change color. I'm now going on vacation for 9 days, I couldn't have planned it any shittier. But anyway, I've decided to keep them growing and then probably harvest them straight after my vacation.

26-09-2021: 3rd week of veg-stage. Great. Will the be the last week or am I going to let them grow another week. I am switching to 12/12 as soon as the containers are not visible anymore. Then I also put the light on 100% power (75 right now). I sprayed the leaves with Hy-Pro Spraymix. Also topped the Runtz Muffin to slow her down a bit. Ladies almost touching the SCROG-net so probably next week starting to SCROG. I like that period on soil. Had no succes on hydro jet so I am curious how this will go. 27-09-2021: Ok.. The growth is good now, it's nice to see how they get a boost as soon as the roots hit the water. 5 cm in 1 night is really no exception. In the meantime, the first Gelato has just tapped it, so topped it right away. Now in doubt... The EC is at 1.1 and as you can see in the diagram below, the EC decreases slightly over a period of 3 days and the PH increases slightly. In fact, this indicates that the EC set is now almost perfect. (In a perfect situation the values ​​remain the same and only the water level drops). So I can go up slightly with the EC and the system is set up in such a way that as soon as the clock turns the EC goes to 1.4. However, I still assume that I am 3 weeks of pre-growth (that is now 11 days) and that means that the EC is still on the low side for 11 days. A low EC ensures faster growth is my experience so far (and is also confirmed by what I read about it). Now I can choose 2 options... continue to grow for a few more days on the low EC and then a little earlier to 12 hours or increase the EC slightly for stronger roots and trunks and then complete the 11 days. The danger of the latter is that they continue to grow quickly and that I will soon have a much too full net (after all, they generally want to grow considerably after the switch). Tough decision. Lighting basically the same story. Now running at 75% and I see nice wide plants with big leaves. Under the TSL, the plants are much more even than under the SP3000. You can see very well that the SP3000 actually hangs above the front row of ladies and that the light does not radiate to the back row. The TSL suffers significantly less from this. I could solve this by hanging the SP3000 a little higher for more spread, but the purpose of this test is to compare. What do you think? increase both lamps to 45 cm and then at 100% or just continue? The danger of raising is that they will stretch more and I don't want that because my net has a fixed height and that has proven to be fine in the past for an even scrog (see also Jack Herer round). I have to say that I can't wait for the ladies to hang full in the net. Daily tying is a very therapeutic activity for me, as is photographing the buds as they begin to take shape. Then I ask for advice on the following... I ordered Green Sensation this week with the idea of ​​adding it from the 4th week of flowering. My nutrition computer can only work on the basis of proportions (in this case 5ml/L hydor A/B and 1ml/L green sensation). However, the bottle advises to dose green sensation first and then adjust the EC. My computer won't do this. I therefore wonder whether I will not dose too little Green Sensation. How could I solve this? (daily manual dosing is not an option because of the recirculating system). 28-09-2021: Refreshed the water, Sunday/monday switching to 12/12. Irrigation turned off for rest of the round so I hope for the little lady that she survives that. Bond First Lady under the net so scrogging is starting now 😬 29-09-2021: Today I snapped the Red Hot Cookies (the only one😱) so moved the little purple Haze in her place. Besides that I decided that it is time for 12/12 so I switch the light scheme 3 days earlier. Hoping that an tiger EC will strengthen them a bit.

The final week is upon us. The buds glistening with trichomes, the smell is strong and pungent. Buds are tightening up and getting heavier, stems can barely hold the weight. Next week ✂ I only gave plain water this week and added once 2ml/L of Flawless Finish

Easy going week. nothing much to report. The EC pen I got is acting weird already. sometimes I'll put it in the feeding liquid and it will display 400ppm something. Then if I move it about or drip it in and out it will jump up to 700ppm something. I doing it over and over till I get a base line and go from that. this weeks EC was aorund 680ppm but the video does not show the other dips I did. PH still kicking aorund 5.9. I find it more annoying to adjust just the waters PH for these plants on the balcony where everything else is "as is" Will try this again indoors in a peat and perlite medium void of any other additives when It can have more of my undivided attention. maybe on the other seeds I got from FB via a friend in the mail. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend. stupid rule on contest must have videos every week,

Switched to flowering. She grew 10cm in 3 days... absolutely crazy. I took the tough decision to discontinue the TimeLapse. My tent is not big enough to have the camera in a place that kinda makes sense. So I'll be taking manual photos in the coming days and uploading those.

No major changes this week 🍃 The plant has become very bushy and dense, filling out nicely. đŸŒ± I also have the feeling that the pre-flowering stage has begun, with the first subtle signs starting to show. Exciting times ahead! ✹

Dane, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another, share the Joint. And mother earth is rich and can provide for everyone. We can Grow enough Happiness, In this paradise, there is room for everyone. We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to loose only everything to win. A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth who loved and give.
