Short summary of my pheno hunt for a gas strain to build up a lib

🌱 Grow Diary Update 🌸 Welcome to Week 4, Day 1 of flower! 🌼 Everything is progressing beautifully, and my plants are thriving. Here's a little recap of the journey so far: ✨ Defoliation Milestones: Before flipping to flower, I gave her a careful defoliation to set the stage for a smooth transition. On Day 8 of flower, I did a light defol to improve airflow and light penetration. On Day 21 of flower, I performed a more thorough defol to help the buds get all the light they deserve and maintain that perfect balance. 🌿 So far, the flowers are stacking up beautifully, and I'm super excited to see how they continue to bulk up. Everything’s on track for an amazing harvest! Stay tuned for more updates! 🌟

🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Comenzamos la 6ta semana, con LST realizado y cada vez más dobladas para ir mostrando todos sus brotes. Se realizó una defoliación a las hojas más grandes para que los brotes pudieran tener luz directa. Respondieron bien al LST que se le fue haciendo (apretando cada vez más los hilos) y a la defoliación. Se aplicó diatomeas al sustrato para evitar posibles plagas. Terminando la 6ta semana se cambia el fotoperiodo a 12/12 para pasarlas a floración

This one may be over but theres more going on right now! Check out my other grows to see what I'm up too.😉

De esta semana destacaré el cambio de luminaria, los Cob por el ATS Pro 300W. al 75% que vendrian a ser 225W. áprox. Algo menos de W de lo que estaban pero al tratarse de una nueva luminaria con más umoles no creo que se me estresen mucho. Más adelante cuando ya estén floreciendo subiré al 100% 300W. Riego cada 3 dias , a final de semana 900ml / planta. Último dia de la quinta semana poda de bajos , añadido unos tutores y el esperado 😜CAMBIO DE FOTOPERIODO a 12/12h. 🙏

Well as always This week has brought some amazing growth and all that stickiness and dankiness is finally coming in !!! The Kosher Kush #2 (very front) is definitely a little bit ahead in bud development the smell on this plant is remarkably similar to the CANDYLAND strain it has a very sweet/ OG KUSH smell to it .. best words to descrine it would be a sweet sterling silver kush smell lol! The WASHING MACHINE’s are also starting to get their smell and you can just feel how sticky the nugs are going to be already makes your fingers stick together.. the smell off of this one is remarkably similar to Girl Scout cookies!! And you can already see the zombie look of the buds ! And finally the BLUEBERRY is smelling fantastic like a walk through a field of berries and strawberries and orange hairs are already popping out ! I had to do some HST to her but she came back by the next light cycle ! Well anyways guys im super excited for this harvest I know this is going to be some beautiful smoke 🌸🌹 ~ GARCIAS’S GARDEN P.s.

Fed both on Day 46. The Caramel cream likes to EAT! R/O is high again. I’ll monitor again during the week to see if this is an issue. Day 50: ph water feed w/ calimagic. Moved into larger tent to prepare for flowering soon. Added additional lighting as well flowering. Grow on.

So not nitrogen deficiency. It's light burn. Being that my lights at the highest it can be I am starting to let it have some rest at night. 20/4 now. Already the leaves are less brittle. Ph is balancing. Buds are fattening up nicely.

Mais uma semana tranquila de crescimento saudável. Flores aparecendo em abundância e crescendo saudavelmente. fiz uma pequena desfoliação para garantir a chegada de luz nas flores inferiores e melhor circular o ar entre os buds. Ainda regando apenas com água.

2nd girl still falls behind, I decided to use a scrog to help her / or help the canopy situation as the height difference and even lighting distribution started to be complicated to mantain got little tip burn so I dialed back and pit Grow aside. From top you can nicely see which girl is which. Margot having more poison green top leaves. Is she angry?

Buds are really putting on weight! Frost is in abundance. Colas have really gained defined shape and structure. The aroma is getting intense. Full blown bloom is a wonderful thing. Just watching as the sexyness gets more defined. We have hit the major bulking phase. Do to the new phase of growth the feeding has once again changed. I added bud golem to the mix. To get every drip drop of flowering vigor this lady has to push. Really gives that extra umph for the bulking phase. Will eliminate that last bit of grow outta the mix next feed. Than ride that mix to the flush. Until next update . Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Wedding gelato is beautiful, makes nice big colas and smells amazing, excited to see this one finished !

I just cleaned the roots and I'm waiting until it's dry to chop her down, I love the smell and the compact nuggets that she has,it's just a very nice genetic to grow.

Bom desenvolvinento

She is doing well with a lick of 300ml of nutrients the fuel dog is holding up so far with no leaf burn and healthy green leaves she stands at about 35cm

Grow diary 11 Stage 1 Days 1-10 By day 4 all was looking good, she had a root coming out the bottom of the cube. Day 6 I transplanted her to the 3 inch rockwool cubes that had been soaked for 15 mins in this stage nutrient solution and left to drain for 15 mins, then she went into the bigger propagator. Day 10 she no roots coming out the bottom of the 3 inch cube yet. Over the last few days she has been getting more exposure to the fan, with the lid of the propagator the humidity is on the low side, but i want to get some air movement around her. She has grown o.k over the last 10 days. She looks healthy enough and is where I would expect her to be in growth. She is the ugly duckling of the grow so far, I always find when I grow gorilla glue or anything crossed with a gorilla glue I get funky 1st and usually 2nd sets of leaves. Temp Max 30.6c Avg 26.6c Min 21.2c Humid Max 85% Avg 69.7c Min 45.7% VPD Max 1.86 Avg 1.03 Min 0.44 Hopefully back in 10 days
