NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

23/04 - Changed solution waiting for the flush In the Week End (26/04)
Added MICRO Trio and Diamond Black - EC is now 1,5 and it will stay between 1.5 - 1.6
Maybe I will boost to 1.8 - 2.0 after the flush near the flowering stage.
We'll see...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lesson Learned:
LST AND DEFOLATION WORK GOOD BUT EVALUATE TOPPING OR SCROG
ADD SOME HOOKS ON THE POT COVER TO ATTACH THE BRANCHES
REFLECT ON THE FLUSHES
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I had to add some support. Especially plant 2, the mainlined plant, is getting some crazy large buds and needs help keeping them up. It seems the mainlined plant is handling the heat better. But she is also getting less direct sunlight which seems to be good for her.

Everything was great. In the beginning she looked a bild small but then she really packed on from top to bottom!
The best yield and the lowest cost per gram I have gotten so far. We had great weather and she got a lot of direct sunshine. I think that helped a lot.
The bag seed was removed in week 4/5. It was either a male or hermed.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la segunda semana de crecimiento de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds.
Tiene muy buenas reseñas y pues me animé a colocar 4 plantas.
Han sido plantadas directamente en macetas de 7 litros y salieron las 4, 100% de éxito en el ratio.
La tierra que utilizamos que está en la publicación anterior es plagron all mix, aparte alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta.
El tetra 9 lo apliqué vía foliar.
Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2, regando cada 24 horas e intentando mantener la humedad un poco alta al principio.
La temperatura está entorno al 22/24 grados y la humedad anda sobre el 60%.
De uno de los ejemplares la cague un poco, como siempre que no falte, al quitar la piel de la cáscara de la semilla? Pues arranque los cotiledones sin querer, pero no pasó nada salió adelante y todo perfecto.
Mars hydro:
Code discount: EL420

Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

buds starting to get shape and trichs coming in nice. the blueberry muffin has such a unique berry pastry smell. no dank weed smell at all. the khalifa mintz x (bcc x jealousy) is still pretty gassy, with stronger fruit profiles on both strains now that the buds are starting to get fuller. update in a bother 2-3 weeks lol.

The second week of vegetation is going well! This time, I’ve decided to try the Green House Feeding BioEnhancer instead of BioBizz Root-Juice.
I’ve had issues with the shelf life of Root-Juice in the past, so I’m curious to see how BioEnhancer performs.
The plant is looking healthy now, but it had a bit of a rough start. I initially planted it in soil that was too heavily pre-fertilized, which caused the first leaves to turn yellow.😔
Thankfully, it recovered quickly and seems to be thriving now. 💪
To keep the plant as stress-free as possible during vegetation, I’ve decided not to train it for now.
I want it to focus on strong, natural growth without any added strain.
I’m excited to see how it progresses over the next few weeks—things are looking promising!🌱😊

She fell over between transplant so its obvious she’s had some trauma. Will keep a close eye but I’m sure the will do just fine.
Goal is to maintain temps and humidity at 80/60 this week.

Ala Erstes muss ich mich für die Bilder entschuldigen...Mein Handy ist leider defekt und das Ersatz Handy bringt nich so gute Bilder hervor ! Blüte hat richtig gut eingesetzt ,hab Heute ein Paar Blätter geschnitten und ein Paar nach unten bzw. nach innen gebogen weil sie so extrem Buschig sind und ich befürchtete das die neuen Triebe bzw. Blüten nicht genug Licht abbekommen . Die 1 kleinere Pflanze hinten Rechts hab ich leicht erhöht das sie mit den anderen 3 gleich auf ist "unterschied 9 cm" ! Das Netz wird nur zur Stabilisierung der Pflanzen genutzt und gedüngt wird jetzt mit Biobizz :
Grow 1,5ml pro Woche (Montag 0,75 & Samstag 0,75 pro Pflanze )
Bloom 2ml pro Woche (Montag 1ml & Samstag 1ml pro Pflanze )
Top Max 1ml pro Woche (Montag 0,5 ml & Samstag 0,5 ml pro Pflanze)

Heeeey guys! 👋
Sorry for the very late update! I had so many things going on but now I can finally update the diary!
This is the last week before harvest and I kept an eye on my plants pretty much all the time! When I started to notice more amber trichomes were appearing I knew that my babies were finally ready! I just wanted a small amount of CBN, so probably I reached a good balance! Besides that I believe everything was quite relaxing and simple this week. Their smell was wonderful! I also trimmed by babies almost everyday, I kept removing the most ugly leaves to allow some of the lower buds to develop a little more this final week!
I stopped watering them 4 days before harvest and then I gave them one day of total darkness.
I hope you all enjoy the videos and photos!
Thanks!

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg.
Quite week for the plants and us. It's above freezing now, but it's one storm after another here.
The plants are dong well and I'll turn over to flowering next week. I'll make clones at that time.
I'm after the best plant so I'll whittle the 14 plants down to 1 or 2 plants when I'm done.
But I have to take 3 clones of each to be sure I get 1 to regrow when it's done. So I'll be doing that this week.
My next trim/prune will be before the 3 week of flowering, before the resin starts to flow.
Through this veg I've been giving a full feeding and then just watering and then a full feeding and then just watering.... You get the idea...
I let the pots dry and hopefully water/feed before I get any wilting.
We've started a new Freak Bros. book. Comic Book #10 Published in 1987. It's the 3rd in the trilogy.
You'll find the first 2 comic books in the story in other diaries. Have a look around in my other diaries and you'll find them.
OK. Have fun out there.

This week started of good except for ph and iron. I'm phing feed and water to 6 but my naturally 7.6 ph water is raising ph. I've realized my water and organic soil don't have iron in them. It's keeping these from greening up properly. I do have blood meal in the soil but not enough. I'll be adding an iron supplement next week when it arrives. Until then I'm going to feed a little masses and blood meal with the ph water. I've had a difficult learning curve switching from coco and salts to organic and soil. #2 got topped on day 1. I'm going to clone this top so I'll have this plant for the future.

We are nearing the end of this journey with the 5 White Widow Autoflowers from ILGM genetics
During week 12
Continued watering with regular PH'd water every 2 to 3 days. Checking tricomes with a jewelers loop every few days. The plants are smelling super potent now coming into week 8 of flower! Buds are super resinous and extremely sticky.
Week 13
Last week before chop! The plan is to see how the plants look nearing the end of week 13. My current grow tent is the same tent I use to dry so this may get tricky! ILGM has grow time listed as between 10-14 weeks so Im right in that final phase.
Stay tuned for up close shots of the final stage of these plants. I will include final photos, wet weight, and final dry yield in upcoming posts.

Week 3(Bloom):
She has packed on a lot of pistils this week. Overall she’s looking really good. I think I’m under watering her. Last night and tonight when the light came on she looked pretty droopy. I’ve given her some more water today. Tomorrow when the light comes on I’ll give her a look and see. I did lift the plant to see if it was heavy or light, she was very light. Hopefully she snaps out of it.
I’m very happy with this girl. This week the growth wasn’t as rapid, this could be because of not enough water, not sure though. Starting to see a bit more vertical growth
Thanks for checking out the diary! 👊
