Day 4: Started with some BioBizz Soft Nutrients at Germination. First week only water now. I read too late, that i should've used more perlites for the soil. First small mistake, maybe... Yay...:) music for plants: "Marina Herlop - Nekkuja" "Mint Field - Aprender a Ser" "Titanic - Vidrio" Day 5: It's saturday, they grew a bit, guess they're doing roots work as well. Everything is fine! :) music for plants: "Lost Girls - Selvutsletter" "Vanishing Twin - Afternoon X" "Marta Del Grandi - Selva" Day 6: Still a bit mad about my beginner mistake to not research the best soil mix for Gorilla Cookies. I used 90% Canna Bio Terra Plus and mixed it with my Biobizz Light mix rests (10%) from my outdoor grow. Let's see, how they perform in that mix.

Day 9: It's Halloween. Don't be scared. Also my "e" is 75% broken on my keyboard. This diary could have "e" issues. music for plants: "Green-House - A Host for All Kinds of Life" "Gi Gi - Wonderwhirl" "Simplists - Over Simplifies Reality" Day 11: They grew a lot and getting big. I'm happy so far. :) My "e" on my keyboard seems to work again magically wise. :) Since my soil has a certain amount of nutrients inside, i won't use fishmix/bio grow in this grow. I saw a lot of diaries, where it was used too much and caused problems. music for plants: "Flora Yin-Wong - Cold Reading" "Actress - LXXXVIII" "Wil Bolton - Södermalm In Autumn" "Laurel Halo - Atlas" "Anagrams - Blue Voices" "Lisa Lerkenfeldt - Halos of Perception" Day 13: They are growing superfast now. Looking strong and healthy. PPFD around 700.

I grow autos and I don't go by DLI, I just go by ppfd. Some People run autos on 24/7 light and the intensity would be so weak to stay with the DLI imo. I would run seedlings on 200-300 ppfd, veg cycle 400-600 ppfd, and flower is 600-900 ppfd. These are all just recommended ppfd. Your plants will be able to possibly take more ppfd than this, you'll just have to watch your plants.

Day 14: Soil is still wet enough. I let it dry out till wednesday. I'm on a music festival from 9.11-13.11, so i will give them first time the full amount until drain is happening. System will run on its own till i'm back. ... Everything looks really nice so far. Almost visible, how they grow. :) This will be a full house soon.... :) I wanted to make sure, that i end up with at least three, if one would not germinate. Now i'm a plant-daddy of four. :) Day 17: Watered them with about 2.5l until drain did start. I'm on vacation now till monday (4,5 days). System will runn on it's own. I have a Wifi Hygro for controlling the environment. I'm stressing them a bit with the net. Lt's see, how they will look on monday. :)

Day 23: Plants have survived my 5-day vacation. Watered 3 of them. One plant is a little behind. All looking good in my opinion. Same Nutrients like the weeks before. I decided to go for Hesi nutrients, when flowering starts. Some LST and Defoliation done as well. Don't want to touch them too much in flowering state. Around 700ppfd. It's high for veg state, i try the high intensity way. :) Day 25: Some more Defoliation. Looking good. Waiting for preflower. .... music for plants: "Habitat Ensemble - Habitat Ensemble" "Lucy Railton - Corner Dancer" "Dania - Arête" Day 28: music for plants: "Niecy Blues - Exit Simulation"

Day 29: Pre-flowering did start. Changing now to Hesi Nutrients. Watered them with 1,25 l. Since they are not dried completely out. Wanted to boost them into flower now! Letting them dry out now to the half of total weight. I'm a bit nervous about the nutrients cocktail though. :) Day 32: music for plants: "Jules Reidy - Trances" "Cousin - HomeSoon" "Yara Asmar - synth waltzes and accordion laments"

Day 37: Having some issues with high humidity, that's because i had to defoliate more. Slowing them down a bit, i guess. I'm concentrating now on the flowering branches i have. Should be enough and the amount of space taken, looks good so far. Trying to break the 200gr dry. Lamp is now on 95%.... music for plants: "Carlos Niño & Thandi Ntuli - Rainbow Revisited" "ssabæ - le roi est l’oiseau" "Simonel - Colmena" "Roy Werner - Imagine My Surprise" "Montañera - A Flor de Piel" Day 43: Looks good so far. After all that defoliation, they slowed down a bit, but now growing faster again. Tomorrow watering. Actually doing about 2 liters twice per week. PPFD on about 800-900. EC is at 1,4. PH 6,5. music for plants: "Teresa Winter - Proserpine" "Mister Water Wet - Cold Clay from the Middle West" "Witness K - Witness K"

Day 44: Gave them 2l water today until drain happens. It's important to water them slowly. Watering should take about 30 minutes. EC is 1.4 and PH is 6.5. PPFD 700-950. I'm on another music festival this weekend, so system will run 4 days on it's own. Since it's my first proper indoor grow, i'm pretty happy. I studied cannabis indoor growing almost the whole summer months. Seems to pay out. Yay... :) music for plants: "David Edren - Music For Mimosa Pudica & Codariocalyx"

Day 59: Everything looks fine. A little bit of Defoliation/LST. Lamp is on 100%, 900-1000 ppfd. I'm watering all 4 Plants with around 11 liters(22l per week) twice a week. Drain should happen. And i'm taking my time to water them, around 30–40 minutes to let the soil take the water. I'm doing this twice a week, actually. EC is on 1.8 and PH 6.5.... Day 62: Merry Christmas... :)

Day 67: I think the ec was to high (1.8) last week. I'm trying it now with 1.1. I think, they are still fine. 200g dry is the goal!!!! Uhhhhhhh :) Day 71: It's a new year. :) Harvest time this month. Excited. EC is 1.3 after new watering. PH 6.5. Lamp is on 100%. I'm happy with the progress.... :) 2024 will be great..... music for plants: "Dorothy Carter - Waillee Waillee" "DJ Sundae - Reverse" "Bahía Mansa & Yama Yuki - Cartas N​á​uticas" "Badieh - Badieh II" "Andreas Gerth & Carl Oesterhelt - Music for Unknown Rituals"

Day 76: They are almost ready to harvest. Faster than i thought. Unfortunately, i flushed them late and maybe not enough time to let them dry out now. Stressing them in the end with no water is mandatory, imo. Anyway, looks good and harvest will be fine. Curious about the dry weight. 1 plant is ready in 1-2 days already. Rest will follow shortly. Day 79: Today's they should've got water, but i will let them dry out. 1-3 days. Unsure yet. Turning of the lights and stress them for another 24 hours. Afterwards chopping party... :) I love this part of the grow... music before harvest: "Andrea Zarza & Matthew Kent - Vessels In July" "Pointe du Lac - Les siphonophores des eaux froides et profondes de l'Arctique" "Jason Simon - To the Dream Center"

Day 82: Harvest day.....:) Wet and No Trim: 1055gr. I think, i reached my goal with at least 200gr dry. Will update. Finished my first diary and loved it. It's just nice to have a documentary about your own grow. Will come back here from time to time to get informations. Never thought, that i would write the first diary in my life about me growing cannabis and living together with cannabis plants in the same room. . :) So, next grow is in line. Many improvements, next grow on coco coir. Excited.... Day 83: Drying with 21,5 degrees, 55% humidity... Day 85: Trimmed them a bit. Looking nice now. :) Unfortunately, i don't have the best environment for drying. 15–18 degrees and about 60% humidity would be better. But yeah, you cannot have it all... :) Vaped some trim and it's great.... Not touching the buds until mid/end of february. Day 89: Drying should be enough. I put them in GrooveBags and 2 Glasses. I have 319 Gramms, before going into glasses. That's pretty much amazing. Great experience for beginner like me. I made some mistakes and i will grow GC again soon to beat this yield. :) For sure... Day 92: Curing... Yay... 3-4 weeks and i will vape my first self grown gorilla cookies. :) Day 102: After curing for 10 days, i have 290grams. Amazing.... Like i mentioned already, i made some mistakes... You can even get a bigger yield out of GC... And vape with my anvil vestratto is really nice after 10 day curing....
