We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent.
I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother.

Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag.
Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive.
I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation.

Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter.
Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet.

We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close.
Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones.
She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke.
I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead.
The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive.

@kohlrabi, You have the Blumat Classic, as do I, but for my house plants. They work great but deliver too little water for a large plant such as a cannabis plant. I'm using the "Tropf-Blumat"system (https://blumat.com/en/tropf/das-tropf-blumat-system/vorteile) as it allows for much larger volumes of water to be distributed.
BTW, "Tropf" is German for drip.
@love_2_grow, I do have blumat at home, just the simple one, where you have some water in a small vessel next to a plant. Its that the one your are using?
@Anonymous_2022, Yeah, we'll see how she will turn out. On one hand, she is much smaller than the Purplematic in the same tent, but on the other hand, she is bigger than the white widows I grew in the tent previously and they had a massive yield.
So schön! Immer super Tagebücher, hilfreich und Inspirierend
Das Pilzzucht-set lässt du immer hängen oder wird es irgendwann verarbeitet und dem Substrat zugefügt?
@Grow_with_Cookie, Thx buddy! I will leave the kit hanging in the tent until I have harvested all mushrooms. Then I'll chop it up and add it to my soil.
Nice, nice. For them 2 grow that tall. Are you leaving them not under a light until they pop.. they usually go like that when they searching for light? Or they grow like that with light?
@gottagrowsometime, I had them under a low-powered light for the first couple of days, but they have since moved into the tent and are underneath the Kingbrite light.
This is a sign, you are my second diary check and I just wrotte : I think I will switz to T.A. I was reading quickly their website, Pro organic, seems great 😛
@love_2_grow, oh you will love my friend! I use the entire TA Tri-Part in DWC, and now the TA Pro Organic in the soil pot, man they never let me down been using is for years as GHE, then TA. the PH is always in control, and easy to test with the GHE chemical PH test, and you dont have to worry about adjusting the measurements, as the bottle's directions have always been very true for cannabis, even for autos! I mainly grow FastBuds, but am excited to see how RQS takes the nutes!! will follow along.
