Dear Diary,
As Week 19 progresses, meticulous monitoring of trichomes and plant conditions are being done.
GC #3 has been harvested this week, and attention is focused on the remaining two plants as they near their harvest window.
Some adjustments were also made to environmental conditions to ensure a successful final stage of growth.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
⏰ Day 130
Provided straight tap water for all the plants.
Trichome observations:
GC #3: Still 90% cloudy, but seeing a slight increase in amber, around 5% perhaps.
⏰ Day 131
Watered with straight tap water.
Noticed that most lower canopy pistils are browning.
⏰ Day 132
Watered with straight tap water.
Observed the beginning of nanners on GC #3, removed the 2-3 found, indicating that she is likely reaching the end of her life cycle and attempting a last-ditch pollination effort.
Planned a trichome check tomorrow to confirm GC #3's readiness for harvest.
⏰ Day 133 (Harvest for GC #3)
Harvested GC #3.
Trichome observations:
GC #3: 90% cloudy, 5% amber, 5% clear.
@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
