Growing in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Got the room in the 90s one day and kinda fried the little guys a bit. I had the lights on full intensity at first too by mistake.

Cotton Candy is growing nicely but have some strange patterning and leaf shape. (See photos) Perhaps this is TMV?... I accidentally broke a lower node off while preforming LST on the Gorilla Glue. Oops. It's far less flexible than the Cotton Candy Kush.

I decided to bend the tops over and continue spreading out the canopy with LST. This worked great on the lankier Cotton Candy Kush; however, I feel it was a mistake with the Gorilla Glue. The Gorilla Glue is stumpier and far less flexible. Bending the top over cause the stem to crack within a few days of new growth. It has now healed back, but I'm sure it caused some unnecessary stress. I over watered one day this week as well. Still learning...but at least now I know what that looks like. 😂 Light defoliation as well to allow air flow and expose more nodes.

Added the SCRoG and lightly defoliated at start of this week. Gorilla Glue is in pre-flower. I think I got a bit of nitrogen toxicity because the new leaf growth is small, slender and curled. I have been giving only pH'd water for the last 3 days.

I realize now that it wasn't a nutrient issue last week, but instead underwatering. My leaves were crispy paper for a couple days at end of last week. And what I thought was burning was curled over tips. So, I adjusted my watering and got them back growing. I tucked down the all the new growth on the Cotton Candy Kush and continued to spread it out. Gorilla Glue is flowering now, and Cotton Candy Kush is about there too. Lollipopped the Gorilla Glue about mid-week, and now starting to see some sugar leaves.

Cotton Candy Kush got a lot more bud sites this week, but it is getting pretty cramped with so many leaves at canopy level. The Gorilla Glue is sticky now and smells like honeydew melon. Switched from grow to bloom nutrients this week and adding silica as well.

Just watching the buds grow now. Removed a few inside leaves from the Cotton Candy Kush to expose secondary bud sites. Gorilla Glue flowers got bigger and sticker this week. Both buds and sugar leaves have lots of trichomes now.

Cotton Candy Kush was getting crowded, so I defoliated again this week. Buds are getting taller now and filling out. It’s on day 44 of flower. The Gorilla Glue is on day 48 and supposed to be ripe around day 60. It already has some amber trichomes on the sugar leaves but only clear and cloudy in the buds themselves, still a few white pistols left too (5%). Both should be ready around Dec 15th.

Gorilla Glue is almost there! It has a few amber trichomes on the top buds now. I’m just waiting a bit longer, maybe mid-week, to harvest. Began flushing with pH’d tap water mid week. Cotton Candy Kush is covered in new pistils and the buds have been growing larger. I suspect it will need to go a bit longer than the GG. One bud is getting some deficiency or dieback on it, not entirely sure. See photos. Thoughts welcome.

What’s going on with this one bud on Cotton Candy Kush plant? It has some leaves dying. No damage to the stem & only bud looking this way. It’s on day 50 of flower and has been getting lighter leaves overall this week. It’s supposed to flower 50-60 days, according to the breeder.

When I look at the whole plant and at this bud I can only say good job she is almost ready for harvest. This is 100% natural, cannabis is a one season plant so after producing the buds she will fade colours and start dying. Not every bud is ripening at exactly the same moment. Soon all the buds will show you these signs. Look at the trichomes. When 70% is cloudy and 10% amber she is at full potency and ready for harvest. Again not every bud is ripening at the same speed. So you can choose to harvest parts of the plant each time. Or and this got my preference, harvest everything in 1 time when the largest part of the plant is at full potency. This way you get a different high from different parts from the same plant. Happy Harvest!

Chopped the Gorilla Glue. I definitely think I stunted it a bit with the HST, which cracked the main stem open. Also, while learning how to water properly. I couldn’t be happier with myself and results though. Will have more photos and details to come after drying process. Thanks again to everyone who has help me getting to this point. 🤘💚

Been flushing the Cotton Candy Kush this week. It’s on day 58 of flower and has begun to change colors. The trichomes have just started turning cloudy in some areas. I think it still needs some time but it supposed flower for 50-60 days. Removing it from the SCROG took half an hour 😂. I had a staggered harvest so I had to remove this and the Gorilla Glue with out cutting the net. 🥅 Won’t do that again. Gorilla Glue drying going well so far 👍
