Dear Diary,
As the flowering stage progresses into its 49th day, I continue to adjust nutrient levels and lighting conditions to ensure optimal development.
It's encouraging to see increased resin production as the plant transitions into the critical stages of swelling and ripening.
The gradual reduction in electrical conductivity (EC) and light intensity aims to support a successful harvest in the coming weeks.

⏰ Day 109
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.61ms and pH adjusted to 6.0.
I slightly lowered the lights to a maximum of 840-850ppfd instead of 900.
⏰ Day 110
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.61ms and pH set to 6.1.
⏰ Day 111
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.59ms and pH at 5.7.
I noticed that GC #3 is showing increased resin production as she transitions into the swelling and ripening phase.
⏰ Day 112
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.59ms and pH adjusted to 5.8.
I slightly reduced the ppfd to a maximum of 820-830.
⏰ Day 113
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.55ms and pH at 5.8.
I'm gradually lowering the EC and light intensity, now setting the power to a maximum of 800ppfd.
⏰ Day 114 (Day 49 Flower)
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.55ms and pH adjusted to 5.9. The lights were further lowered to a maximum of 770ppfd.
⏰ Day 115
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.51ms and pH set to 6.3.
@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
+1 strain
+3 strains
