Dear diary,
Week 14 overall and week 5 of flower is behind us.
The plants continue to progress in their flowering stage, and I'm closely monitoring their development and making necessary adjustments to optimize growth.

⏰ Day 95
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.69ms and pH adjusted to 5.7.
I made some adjustments to the nutrient ratios by increasing A+B to 3.5ml/l.
⏰ Day 96
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.69ms and pH set to 5.8.
I performed some defoliation, primarily targeting the larger fan leaves to create more space within the canopy.
⏰ Day 97
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and pH adjusted to 5.9.
⏰ Day 98
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and pH at 6.0.
⏰ Day 99
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.61ms and pH set to 5.8. As I ran out of Bud Candy, I switched to Royal Sugar as an alternative.
Additionally, I performed a modest round of light defoliation, primarily focusing on the lower, smaller fan leaves.
⏰ Day 100
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.61ms with pH adjusted to 5.9.
⏰ Day 101
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.65ms with pH set to 6.2.
I slightly increased the light intensity to achieve levels between 700-900ppfd.
The environmental conditions are maintaining a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius with 55% relative humidity when the lights are on and 20 degrees Celsius with 52% relative humidity during the lights-off period.
@DBQush, I guessed so, I'm using the same.
It's a good base for planning your own schedule.
Doing a bit of experiment and was wondering maybe adding my other ir/fr to the veg tent to see if I can get some stretching action going on..
Will be monitoring your diary closely, keep up the good work!
@Yebis42, I am basing it on the DLI per week that DeBacco University recommends in his video about DLI in relation to yields.
But it seems to match up with the same numbers that for example “Photone” recommends, as I also use their iOS app for the readings.
But ofc I just use these as a guideline and try and look at how the girls respond to each gradual increase as those numbers are if everything else is perfect.
I actually just backed down the lights again to 290ppfd as I was seeing some other issues and by lowering the light it should give them a easier time recovering.
Hey man, congrats for the harvest! I'm growing this strain too, week 4 flowering done. In my opinion is slower than I though, and I saw also your flowering stage was 9+ weeks (breeder says: 7 weeks flowering)
@DeepWaterGrower, thanks man! Yeah when they say 7 weeks, I don’t think they take the first “transition” week into account, and then call it done as soon as the harvest window opens.
But at least for me it make sense to push them for another week or two too get as much good shit as possible!
Either way I’m super happy the end result as this badboy really kicks your ass when smoking haha
@gaby_kicks, haha a 7/10 on my 2nd grow I will consider a compliment, so thanks man!
I do personally think the Wedding cheesecakes in the same grow turned out a bit bitter, but even with the Gorilla Cookies, super frosty and consistently dense buds in both the top and bottom off the canopy, leaves me quite happy.
Also helps that she netted just shy of 160g dry and smokes like a beauty!
Maybe one day you will start a diary here and show “how it’s done”, but until then, keep on keeping on haha
