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!

She is vigorous towards the finish has about 1-2 weeks to go. Beautiful purple tones and fruity orange hints. Flushing her with water as she bows out. Trichomes are 40% clear and 60% cloudy. Thc is looking like 18-20%. All in all I am happy with the genetics and hope for a few seeds.

Was a little bit challenging for me, due to the outdated nutrients table, mostly on the Flowering period, also little thing like i have to fill more the pots, also with this kind a strain and also with cuts instead of seeds, may be is better to don't do the topping and don't loose time and energy on the vegetative period. At the same time, more or less about the 8th week of flowering it starts to appear something like Alternalia or Overfeed of Phosphor still don't sure. All this issues have impact the grow in terms of the size of the branches and the whole plant, the size of the buds and the hardness. In strictly terms about the strain, the quality is out of mind, amount of resin is crazy, just have to improve my skills and get bigger crops

ScrOG aus rankengitter und weich ummantelten Draht gebunden, konnte Fingerhash machen nach dem einflechten hätte echt Handschuhe anziehen sollen. Bin sehr von den Damen überzeugt. 12 Tage 24h Licht Zyklus und 2 Tage Umstellung seit Woche 11. extrem später Start mit offizieller Blüte dennoch ist die Vorarbeit von den Damen der hammer. Sie haben die Samenbildung sofort eingestellt und diese wieder abgebaut. Hätte damit gerechnet, dass der Blütenstand und die harz/Terpen Produktion nahezu eingestellt werden. Die bananas haben schon Daumen-dicke buds und riechen super süßlich, die Zake besetzen weiterhin fleißig die sonnensegel, riechen etwas zwischen Basilikum-Beeren mit etwas Diesel. Die painkiller (9/9 thc/Cbd) von royal Queen ist als Balkonprojekt Anfang März gestart und bitterlich verkümmert, habe sie seit einigen Wochen mit im Schrank unter gebracht nimmt jetzt einen platzt ein. Hatte sie auch gefimmt, hat sie nicht doll gestört musste sie mehrfach brechen/Knicken damit sie unter den Scrog passt. Rundherum läuft es wieder, nur die bananas haben leichte Mängel, morgen kriegen die beiden eine extra Dosis. 🐝

So this is how things are looking at the end of Week 8,going into week 9. Definitely one of my best grows yet, no issues whatsoever, great strain to run, if I like how she smokes (which I'm sure I will) I will definitely run her again.

01/21 - Happy 3rd Birthday! Gave her a bucket and nute change today... ramped up the nutes to 5.25g of Dakine 420 Base and 5.25g of Dakine 420 Grow. Added in some H2O2 to help clean out the roots of the sediment left over from the old bucket... top watering seedlings brings down a lot of sediment into the bucket so this is the time I really want to give a complete change of "scenery" to the plant. Over the past week, I had increased her EC bringing it up to 0.8 which, really, is unheard of for an autoflower this age - but she kept telling me she was VERY hungry... I give credit to this nute line, I think it's the best one I've ever tried so far. I switched to it in mid-grow of a soil grow I did and the results were spectacular... Now that I've figured out how to adjust for a DWC grow with them, I'm really excited... and to see the plant tolerating such a high EC ... well... I've got great hopes! 01/22 - well, the little lady did NOT like the extra nutes.. at all!!! And the pH had swung WAY up this morning ... things were so bad, I'm not going to publish the pic I took of her this morning until she's recovered so as not to stress you out! I'm not worried about her - but you probably would be if you could see what she looked like... poor thing... adjustments have been made and she's already starting to come back ... will update again tomorrow, of COURSE! :-D 01/23 - She's not pulling out of it as fast as I'd hoped but then she REALLY took a hit. Poor little thing! She IS improving and she WILL be ok... I'm just going to have to stop thinking of her as SuperWoman... I doubt these leaves will ever look very good again - thankfully, they're early leaves and they'll soon be eclipsed by new, bigger and better leaves and at some point, I can just lop them off! :-D Eating some humble pie right about now! I rolled her EC back to 0.7 but she's acting just a little bit hungry this morning so I think I'll try to bring it back up to 0.8 - that's going to be an interesting exercise given that these nutes are dry and pretty potent .. going to try to put .75g of the base and the grow in to see how that does... we'll see... sigh.... Update: I gave a lot of thought about what I should do here and ended up doing a bucket change. Along with her general dismal appearance, she was showing signs of a nitrogen toxicity so what I decided was that I needed to change up the composition of what the EC was while I was adjusting it - and that's impossible to do with a bucket that's already got stuff in it. What she's got in her bucket now is 1.5tsp of RapidStart (hoping to boost those roots to help her out), 5g of the Base (NPK 3-13-26), 2g of the Grow (NPK 15-0-15) which may STILL be too much but... and 1/2 tsp of Calimagic. EC now sits at 0.8 which is what I wanted and the pH is 6.0. Just as I was finishing up the bucket change, her lights went out so this is good... I'll check on her again when she "wakes up" ... I won't SEE any change, I'm sure, but I'm hoping the EC and pH don't change... going to do a LOT of checking on her today! She's up from her nap and things are actually looking very good! I think I made exactly the right decision as far as her nutes are concerned.... Her leaves still look a bit like leather (very strange) and are still a little dryish but they're picking themselves up and going for the light which they weren't doing before and the clawing is starting to go away. Now feeling pretty confident in my abilities to diagnose her and make the right decisions... I'll check again just before I go to bed... and will be very anxious to take a look at her in the morning. 01/25 - She's still struggling a little bit but the growth has been at least SORT of satisfactory... I decided this morning that she still is having a tough time with as many nutes in her bucket but instead of a bucket change, simply replaced 1/2 gallon of her bucket with plain water - this brought her EC down to 0.7 - and I adjusted her pH which had been slowly rising AGAIN... so now it's sitting at 6.1. I also trimmed off the lowest leaves which were just sad to look at and were being swallowed up by the pebbles I'm adding to the netpot - so they were of no use anyway.

I can't believe how big she has gotten for surviving in just a solo cup! Kinda opens doors in my mind on ideas for gorilla grows at low cost (only takes 1gal to run vs 3+ in a normal dwc bucket). I'll be honest and admit I've made the biggest rookie mistake and overfed, I knew I was really pushing her and wanting to see how far I could actually take her and burnt her tips in the process. The new growth is still green at the tips by the buds which is promising. I lowered her nutrient uptake slightly by 1ml for each base nutrient and gave a little less than 1/8 tsp of bloom booster. She got pretty tall and therefore top heavy, so the one afternoon I checked her and she was tipped over but no breakages, which was awesome. I tied her to the ceiling of the tent and now she is going nowhere. Been removing lower leaves and small growth that isn't showing sex yet. Once the colas have pre-flowers I remove all lowers that don't to help send energy upwards. I'm still seeing evidence of what I believe is rust fungus, though its growth has become much less noticeable than a few weeks ago.

Big week here. The girls got moved into the tent and also into the Autopot system. I'm excited to see how the Autopot performs! There appeared some burns, I had been busy with xmas, so I didn't had that much time to attend them. I believe they will get back on track now. The biggest challenge is to keep the PH stable in the water tank.

Day 1 - I geminated those in the glass of water for 20 hrs. first and then put in the box with paper towel. Day 3 I take them to the rockwool cube to seedling Day 6 - OG Kush look unhealthy. Growers told me to let her grow and the *rockwool too wet*. Gorilla Cookie and Gelato looking good Day 8 - OG Kush still look weird but she grow up Gorilla Cookie and Gelato are fine What I have learned : 1. The strains are different 2. Don't soak rockwool too wet 3. Choose good quality of rockwool

Went ahead and flipped to flower. Doing really well with the transitional nutrients. My mutiny pheno on the far right is a purple pheno, which I'm excited about.

Day 37 - Did a little defoliating, I’m really hoping it doesn’t stunt her too much. Guess time will tell! Day 38 - Everything seems to be ok after defoliating a bit yesterday, just feeding and waiting on her to really start flowering! Day 39 - No major changes with her, still growing like a weed. Day 40 - Still looking good. Day 41 - Just waiting on her to start flowering. Pistils are popping but no budding yet. Day 42 - Growing like a weed for sure! Really starting to stretch. Think she might be starting to flower finally. Hopefully, cause she’s gonna outgrow the tent if she keeps stretching!
