Dear diary,
Week 3 done!
Was away for the end of the week so hence why there are not as many photos this week, but my flatmate was keeping up with the feeding during my absence.
G.C #2 kept looking weird with spots and “mutated” growth, but looked a bit better as the week progressed and I gave a calmag watering, lowered the EC and lights to address what I thought might be causing it.

⏰ Day 18:
Gave another foliar of calmag plus a watering of calmag water at 1.35ms 6.3ph as G.C #2 looks a bit better and I want to make sure the new coco has all the calcium it needs.
On top of that I backed off a bit on the light to 290ppfd as I’m seeing some signs of light stress.
Lastly I later feed regular nutes at 1.35ms 5.8ph.
⏰ Day 19:
I am seeing some more “burning” on the new growth tips so I feel happy about the choice to back off on the EC and lights.
A feeding was given at 1.35ms 5.5ph.
G.C #2 is looking better so that’s a good sign, so I lights dropped a bit more to 250ppfd.
⏰ Day 20:
The regular feeding was dropped again slightly to 1.26ms and 5.6ph and light increased to 270 ppfd.
G.C #2 keeps looking better and the damage seems to not be getting worse. I can see signs of the same thing on the others as the older growth comes out more, so hopefully it’s all good now.
⏰ Day 21:
Feeding given of 1.26ms 5.6ph.
All of them look fairly okey, raised lights to 52cm and set ppfd to 300-305.
⏰ Day 22:
Away from home so the flatmate is feeding them from the premixed bucket.
⏰ Day 23:
Away from home so the flatmate is feeding them from the premixed bucket.

@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
