Week 5 for Strawberry Gorilla by fastbuds, She's now definitely in flower mode. She's almost the same height as Moby dick but way less leafy so I'm not expecting as much flower from here for now anyway. Don't feel the need to train her just yet whatsoever. She's a little more fragile ATM but hopefully she will stiffness up a bit now with the wind outdoors. 😇 Right after this picture i also put a decent amount of mulch on her as i believe the sun will be coming back fairly soon.

***** Week 6 December 27/20 to Jan 2/21 - Days 36 to 42 from germination ***** Week 6 is hear already, it feels like........or maybe I just wish it was start of week 4 still😂......she is looking like she has all the makings of coming through her early flower and going hard now and growing harder👍👍 All we can do is be patient and give them the time they want. This girls top nodes are pulling up harder at the start of the week and getting lighter in colour at new growth sites. Given what she has done the last two days she appears as though the next week will be a good week for growth. She is getting Terpinator at the start of the week but I would probably have normally waited another week for her had all the girls been on the same day. To try and balance the feed I gave them CalMag with Terpinator to even out the NPK a bit more, plus the microbes or other supplementals. Bumping up the ml of moisture the pot is getting this week..........noticed the last two watering's that even though the pot feels like there is some weight to it, when she is watered she takes 2L or more to get runoff. Won’t start changing it too much as she is starting to look healthier. Just is getting bigger so will naturally start consuming more in the same period. Rather than increasing the amount of liquid😜 😜 😜 Pulled her out early week and her leaf colour is good......she is not lacking anything based on leaf colour so will also keep up the plain watering's cycle as is. Little more detail..... Dec 27/20, Day 36 - pots are light again in the afternoon. - 2L watering with Magnifical and Microbes @ 2ml. Terpinator @ 3ml = 400ppm and 5.8pH - She is feeding well and again, after 5 min still no run off from 1.5L so graver her 2L. - she is looking really good in the afternoon and her tops are really pushing hard.......hairs popping everywhere 👍 Dec 28/20, Day 37 - Top of the girl looks really good in the morning. She had a good night of growth and the lower side branches have gotten longer and getting closer to the top. - she is coming out of the "ball" phase and moving into the "flat top" phase before we see our "bush" forming😂😂😂 - 2L watering today with full line of Remo, all 6 parts plus silica again @ 2ml = 1150ppm and 5.9pH - This is a little stronger feed than I would first chose for this girl as her leaf colour is a nice green already and new growth showing some small signs of tip burn. Should have probably portioned off part of the feed for her and added some more water to reduce ppm.......ran with it though😳 Dec 29/20, Day 38 - another feeding in the morning today. Pot was really light. - 2L in the morning giving with same feed of 1150ppm and 5.9pH. - the other autos were fed again in the evening but not this girl.......she is feeding well but her pot was still heavy in the evening. - she is really looking good!!! She is shooting hairs like crazy and tip are up on the leaves. - would love to strip the fan leaves blocking bud sites but I am resisting temptation.......she is too small.......take them when she has grown a little healthier and larger 😀 Dec 30/20, Day 39 - she is still looking like she is trying hard to grow bigger and pushing her tops higher😀 - leaf colour is very good and noticing that even though she is being pushed with ppm that she is not showing tip burn like the other girls in the tent😕 - 11:00am she had 2L watering with Magnifical @ 1ml, Enzymes Komplete and Microbial Mass @ 2ml = 175ppm and 5.7pH - since she is looking good for colour, I will follow along with the other girls and give her a couple of lighter water feedings and help flush out some of the salts from her root zone. Good hit with Enzymes today to help with just that. Dec 31/20, Day 40 - pots are really light this morning. - 2.5L feeding with Terpinator @ 3ml, MagNifiCal and Rezin and Microbial Mass @ 2ml Natures Candy @ 1ml = 600ppm and 5.9pH - pulled her out and trimmed off a fair bit of lower branching. Did it now before she gets too far into flower. - she has a lot of lower leaves.......she is super bushy still so I felt is was time to take the lower 1/3 from her.........Sorry, Apolo couldn't help it.....so many leaves blocking light😂 - It was actually fairly aggressive stripping so will keep an eye on her and see how she reacts......should have added some kelp and vitamin B to the feed but didn't😶 Jan 1/21, Day 41 - watering in the morning. - 2L watering with CalMag, VeloKelp and Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 400ppm and 6.0pH (Had to add Terpinator for 1ml/L to bring down the pH......missed it so added something, too much pH up was added.) - they have been given a lot of ppm this week so backing off a bit and just giving some basics as using RO water. - she is not as happy this morning. I am trusting that she is just sleeping this morning.......switched to a 24 hour cycle 3 days ago and trying it out to see how the girls react.......been very good until today.....keep an eye on her. She may need to be lowered from the box she is on as the other autos need the intensity still. Jan 2/21, Day 42 - pots are dry and time for moisture again. - plain water only!!!!! She is showing signs of some excess from pushing them harder this week. - backing off and let her use some of the nutes she already has in her. - 2.5L water with Enzymes @ 1ml = 15ppm and 5.7pH - droopy in the morning........see how they look in a couple of hours. - closed the door to the room last night and temps in the tent were 87 degrees this morning.......they will bounce back but it definitely impacted them last night. - J47 was really impacted and appears to be a sleep with the leaves looking the same as at night.

Day 65 of flower, not sure when to cut her down yet, but she's looking well!

Day 48 of flower. Start of week 8. Almost done maybe week or two.

Adjusted the pH range and watered when needed. That will continue to be the case from now til the end of flower. I can hardly wait for harvest. It's going to be great. The zkittlez is getting plump and is already dense as the PCD I grew. It doesn't quite have the smell profile I was hoping for but the frost factor is crazy. The Liberty Haze is smelling great and is fantastic in structure the colas are about 12-17" long. It's great! Stoked for the last half of flower. The forbidden fruit is being neglected but it's managing to hang in there.

Baby Feeling good

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

420Fastbuds-FBA2501 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Big Fat Wedding Cake is growing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights. She is starting to stack now. She has been very hungry. Everything is looking good at tye moment.

There's a blank week, sorry about that. There are detailed pictures and explanations of the current situation. At this point, the older plant seems to be doing fine. However, the younger plant's growth has definitely slowed down. Suspecting potassium deficiency, that's why I increased the nutrient amount. But K deficiency might not be the only thing that's wrong. My pH levels should be fine, got a new meter and did calibrations regularly.

Amazing buds from this amnesia pro, stinky dank nuggets with clasic amnesia fragrance, very enjoyable, very sticky flower that are starting to compact, very happy about this plant, let's see how she keeps developing! 🔝💚❤️💛

Bien aquí esta el día esperado la cosecha, es mi primer cultivo y considero que lo logre. En muchos medios de lectura y en especial en vídeos mencionan que no puedes esperar mucho es tu primer cultivo. En mi caso es falso y lo demuestro ya que si aprendes, investigas por cuenta y lees lo suficiente, obtendrás un alto porcentaje de que los resultados se den. Muy contento con mi plantas y sus tonos morados. Puntos a mejorar tener una carpa de cultivo y por su puesto un extractor de humedad para que baje la humedad preferiblemente a 45 grados Vendrán mejores contenidos y cosechas mas abundantes. Gracias a todos por su vistas y comentarios. Saludos y bendiciones!

Major changes here at Night Owl summer camp. Have had a rodent problem! Something has figured out a way to get into the dormitory (greenhouse)and had a feast on my plants. Five branches off the Harvey Wallbanger, and two each off the Vanilla Fizz and the 91Grapes. Oh my gosh! I needed to do something else. My wife gave me a spare bedroom for a grow nursery! What a girl I have! So spent the day yesterday moving tents and hanging lights and got the girls all situated in the new dormitory away from some vampire in the night. Will give an individual plant update shortly.

Good morning all Day 63 and everything goes wonderfully I think for most that feels the end. Some begin senescence including my gorilla glue from fastbuds and northen light auto from RQS I start rinsing all of my 5 plants except the bubblegum which has not started to flower after 63 days I specify that in terms of performance the blueberry auto of pev seeds and the most prolific it is beautiful. 😍 The gorilla glue from fast_buds is smaller but is not left behind because it is loaded with nitroglycerine 😋 We are no longer far from the harvest I am doing a final defolliation in order to let the light reach the lower heads I think that within a week for some to two weeks for others they will all be harvested What a pleasure for this run even if the weather is long approaching the harvest ... patience is the mother of all the virtues 😉 May the strength be with me 💪 And in french langage Bonjour a tous Jour 63 et tout ce passe à merveille je pense que pour la plupart cela sent la fin . Certaines commencent la senescence notamment ma gorilla glue de chez fastbuds ainsi que la northen light auto de chez RQS Je commence le rinçage de la totalité de mes 5 plants hormis la bubblegum qui n'a toujours pas commencée à fleurir après 63jours Je précise que en terme de rendement la blueberry auto de pev seeds et la plus prolifique elle est magnifique. 😍 La gorilla glue de chez fast_buds est plus petite mais n'est pas en reste car chargée à la nitroglycérine 😋 Nous sommes plus très loin de la récolte j'effectue une dernière defolliation en vue de laisser la lumière atteindre les têtes du bas Je pense que d'ici une semaine pour certaines à deux semaines pour d'autres elles seront toutes récoltées Quel plaisir pour ce run même si le temps ce fais long à l'approche de la récolte... la patience est mère de toute les vertus 😉 Que la force soit avec moi 💪

It is slowly coming together for a flower flip 🙏. This is my first photo period grow and I feel that I have learned so much during this grow when it comes to topping, lst, lollipopping and defoliation. Thank you Youtube for that. I am so happy with my 10 main colas now. I will flip to flower (12/12) the 29 th of December.

This is 10 days after the first video in week one, 2 days since running the co2 and they started to take off in the 5x9. BTW the floraflex nute dosages are grams per gallon since its dry. ALSO notice the no calmag, have seen multiple growers using floraflex with zero calmag and ZERO ISSUES they have even told me personally that they seem to have healthier plants without the calmag which is wild to me (another reason to switch to floraflex). The 4x8 were just transplanted within the past 3 days, no co2 yet. Obviously isn't perfect I wish I had everything at the same exact stage but I had an issue with some of the clones and couldn't wait to start them over so I just transplanted some mothers I had hanging around in solo cups from a few runs ago. The small ones are the new clone strains cherry kush mints frosted apricots and Platinum Gushers. Might have some issues feeding everything evenly as the smaller ones won't be eating as much as soon as the rest. Maybe I'll stop the co2 in the 5x9 and only run in 4x8 to get everything to even out as much as possible before the flip. Next run I'll have to be more organized and prepared but I'm hopeful I can pull off some decent results on this one. The co2 in the tents is a little tricky, would like to hear how some other growers run theirs. Constant exhaust on lowest setting? Exhaust on a timer? No exhaust? Today I'm trying no exhaust at all and see what happens like a sealed room essentially but im thinking of having the exhaust on a timer to run every 2 hours for 15 mins just to refresh the air or every hour for about 5 mins. Got alot of cleanup left to do so don't mind the God damn mess mf.
