Good progress this week, had a slight issue with my ph meter but caught it fast did a flush and all is well. Plants are stretching nicely and transitioning smoothly into their 18/6, did second round of training and light defoliation. Ramping into full flower. 400 ppfd from the Kingbrite has caused one of the plants to start praying excessively so doing a lot of repositioning of plants.

Plants have finished stretching and are starting to put on some weight, almost at full nutrient strength for flowering lets go ladies! I decided to stop training the apical buds on all four of the ladies due to space issues.

Slammed the ladies into ripen mode this week will start flushing after only 4 to 5 days of ripen. We are close! Dropped the temps by a few degrees for the final weeks.
Flush week is here! the plants are solid golf ball laden bushes of wonder that smell amazing! Colors are popping and trichs are turning amber, lets go! Giving only ph balanced rain water for this week.
Edit to add some better pics.
After a week of flushing and 24hrs darkness, I chopped down all 4 lovely ladies and hung them in place as full plants. I increased humidity to between 50 and 60% with air temps never above 20. After 7 days of drying I am left with 481g of solid stinky golf/tennis ball sized nugs of epic dankness. After removal of the last little stalks and the curing process I expect around 450g total. Thank you @FastBuds my next Gorilla Cookies grow has already started so lets see if I can top this one. Very happy all round with my budget setup results all in 93 days total from seed to harvest! Keep Growing!
Hey man, the outcome on these were great. I really liked that you included the ppfd rating for the first while. Did you cap it at 400ppfd and let the plants just grow into it or did you try and keep the top of the canopy around 400ppfd the entire time?
Thanks!
@nerdz, seems I ommited the ppfd ramp up.. for the final weeks I ramped up the ppfd maxing it out at around 850 at the top of the canopy I couldn't really give them more since I was running a natural vpd, now days with co2 supp I can push them way further as you will see in my next diary
Those are some really gorgeous, frosty buds. I am using General Hydroponics' 10 part professional grow line, and will be using Ripen as well. I am definitely looking forward to the results, and hope my buds come out as frosty as yours. Good luck with the rest of your grow. I will definitely be watching to see how everything finishes up.
@RallyAutos, switched from GHE Grow/Bloom nutrients etc to GHE Ripen on its own. its basically a low nitrogen nutrient that forces the plant to finish faster.
@Psyfolk,
Hi bro , i do the same , just divide the concentration by two , somehow the burning is still happening , so what i did is alternate pure water and nute water , looks like the plant is growing better now.
My ppm is around 120.
I will push few days with nute.and start flushing , any idea how to flushbin coco ?
@Ganjafarma,
Hi Ganjafarma. I use the chart as a guide for the correct nutrient balance according to plant life cycle. I always choose the strength or concentration of the feed after testing (EC/PH/Temps/VPD/Co2/DLI and PPFD etc etc) to asses the condition of the plants and their response to the last feed. I fertigate by hand multiple times a day and so I get a lot of information to work with to keep the plants happy and healthy! Keep growing dude!👌
