Dear diary,
Week 2 done and on the books!
Everything went mostly fine up until the very end of the week were I noticed some strangeness with G.C #2 that was transplanted.
That will be covered more overall in next weeks update as I try to fix any potential issues.

⏰ Day 11:
Calmag foliar applied 2 times during the day at 0.8ms and corrected ph to 6.3.
They also got their regular feeding at 1.27ms 6.4ph with me increasing the light to 250ppfd.
⏰ Day 12:
They were given a foliar and watering of calmag water at 1.13ms and 6.3ph early in the morning as issues had not cleared up.
Later in the evening they got a regular feeding at 1.41ms, 5.9ph and lights were increased to 275ppfd.
⏰ Day 13:
2 calmag foliars, gave feeding at 1.54ms 5.8ph and increased lights to 285ppfd
⏰ Day 14:
They have reached 3 nodes marking the end of seedling stage and beginning of veg!
They were fed with 1.53ms 5.8ph and four 3 liter airpots was prepped with 75/25 coco/perlite and watered with the same feed until runoff before transplanting.
As I can only grow four plants G.C #2 and #3 were selected as the final two.
Temps are around 26 and RH 75% with lights on and 24C 80% off.
Will be taking down the RH slightly over the coming few days to 65%.
⏰ Day 15:
Gave the girls a feeding at 1.57ms 5.6ph.
Also increased light to 305ppfd and they do look a bit droopy, but that’s not to surprising after the transplant.
⏰ Day 16:
Daily feeding at 6ph 1.59ms and increased light to 320 ppfd.
Aiming for 465 ppfd by the end of next week as that would move us up from 20 to 30 DLI.
⏰ Day 17:
Sprayed a foliar coat of Leaf Coat from Biobizz as prevention for pest in the morning.
For the evening they got their feeding at 1.58ms 6.2ph and foliar spray of calmag as G.C #2 is showing some strangness like small white marks and drooping on the new leaves.
Will troubleshoot and give her a few days or so to see if she improves or else I will change in the plan-B G.C that wasn’t transplanted.
@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
