I’ve learned that pretty much all of the nutrient companies are garbage. My advanced nutrients line had two products that were expired or bad that contains bacteria, and after I mixed up a gallon of nutrient solution it turned into a jelly.
Then I buy bio biz turns out they don’t have a feeding schedule for substrates other than their own so I was so angry I threw it all away. I can look at a diary and tell by the damaged plant which person used Foxfarm nutrients, that turned out to be absolute utter garbage as well. Follow the feeding schedules and destroy your plants.
What the hell are these people thinking?? this site is here to promote these products, and they all want glowing reviews and not one damn one of them deserves it. All of these fertilizer companies including Advanced Nutrients, fox farm, seem to put out the worst garbage and then someone else writes to glowing review probably someone who works for them. Any criticism has been clearly scrubbed from the Internet you’ll see bits and pieces of information about bad products, but not too much now that companies are able to get rid of whatever they want.
I’m probably going to be visited by three ghosts. That’s what being old does to you. I dug the Biobizz out of the trash and used it at half strength and did a one gallon flush on two 3 gallon plants that I had given up on and a few hours later, they’re both producing resin again, which they didn’t do because of the problems of the bad nutrients very early on in the grow.
12/13 I think this plant might be a part Jedi because it can survive anything, wow she looks so amazing
12/14 I gave her of water with half strength Biobizz hopefully its not too much. I’ll just do water next time.
plants from my other grow that I thought were going to be auto flowers turned out not to be are going really slow.
I turned the power down from 100 W to 94 W. I noticed a little bit of light stress. This will be nice if I can manage to grow a really nice plant at 94 W or less.
The Viparspectra xs1500 @94W temperatures that I measured on the aluminum heat sink around the four corners were about 93 in the front and 90 or 91 in the back. The driver measured at about 95 1/2 to 97° and the tent has remained very cool. The two spider farmer 1000D that are a couple years old one was at about 116° the slightly newer one was 5° cooler than that.
I have two of the 1000D’s going in one tent each over 110 degrees using 97 W each and the light output isn’t quite as good as one of my new light at 60%. Finally something that’s not a disappointment. The light seems to be the perfect size for the 27“ x 27“ spider farmer tent that I’m using.
If I had two photos maybe I’d run it at 100% but between 60 and 70% seems to be about perfect. I’ll probably get one more of these to replace the 2 SF100D’s which will cut my power usage in half👍
they are efficient enough just to have one light at around half power.
12/16 I used some old cal/mag from Humbolts Secret and it worked fine. She stretched an inch over night after the ca/mag. I used half strength Bud Factor X. I checked to make sure no jelly formed and at least H.S. is shelf stable after 3 years. The amount of resin is just amazing, I didn't know autos could produce like this. She is the best, FastBuds is SO SO SO much better than the seed company I used before, night and f'ing day difference.
12/17 2L just water today. Maybe doing a 5 gal grow next with this strain. 3 gal makes it easy because it uses a half gal per watering, easy to mix
I ended up giving her about a gallon and a half of water, got just a little bit of runoff the pPMs were 3400 just incredibly high but as I filter out, advanced nutrients and replace it with the biobizz she seems to be responding positively. She really seems to like the Biobizz better I could be wrong. We’ll see, that’s just my observation today.
She is producing so much resin. She looks like the plants you see in the pictures and you hope yours turned out that way…finally!
She’s the most incredible plant I’ve ever grown and she’s going very strong. Turning the light down to about 94 watts made a positive difference as well.
12/18 end week Biobizz works great @1/2 strength
Hey @calgonjim, great diary!
Thanks a bunch for growing our Gorilla Cookies Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a nice weekend
Never, you should never use feeding charts. NPK Calculator and strict plan for whole grow period. This is how autoflowers should be grown. Too bad that you met bad nutrients, I had issue with outdated Piranha ~_~ GL & HF
Thanks so much for growing our genetics, will be excited to see them all flourish ☘️ Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help 😎 Happy Growing !!!👨🌾🌲
Very nice. I grew this. Cured half and I can tell you. Mine was so so much better after 3 weeks. You got a lovely pheno. Mine was a real white lady. But, very nice
