Dear Diary,
As Week 18 unfolds, the plants are nearing the final stages of their flowering journey.
Careful adjustments in watering and pH are made to ensure optimal conditions for ripening and I will let the trichome guide the harvest timing for each plant.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
⏰ Day 123
Provided water only with a pH of 5.8.
⏰ Day 124
Watered GC #3 with straight tap water at a pH of 7.4.
⏰ Day 125
Used straight tap water for GC #3.
Noticed an increasing need for support for offshoots as the buds become heavier.
Trichome observations:
GC #3: 75% cloudy, 25% clear.
⏰ Day 126
Used straight tap water for GC #3.
Light intensity was further lowered to a maximum of 640ppfd.
Environmental conditions are stable at around 22.5-23.5 degrees Celsius and 55-60% relative humidity (RH) when the lights are on, and 20.5-21 degrees Celsius and 50-55% RH when the lights are off.
⏰ Day 127
Provided straight tap water for GC #3.
⏰ Day 128 (Day 63 Flower)
Provided straight tap water for GC #3.
Removed larger fan leaves from GC #3 to facilitate more even ripening during the last week.
Trichome observations:
GC #3: 90% cloudy, 10% clear.
⏰ Day 129
Provided straight tap water for GC #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
