New diary become!
Ok, I'm super ready and super excited with this new grow!
I grow indoor, my grow-box it's 80x80x160 cm, I use a SONLIGHT Apollo LED lamp, 192watt.
Bio-Bizz light-mix soil and nutrients (root-juice | bio-grow | bio-bloom | top max) + advanced nutrients (all showed in picture).
Today, 02/16 it's the day 0 and I'm waiting germination.
Nothing special, I'm waiting she grow.
Actually I add water 1 times every 3 days.
Keep humidity high when the light is on. I stop humidifier during "night" time.

05/03 Ok, this baby is almost ready to be harvested. Now It's time to flush. Trichomes are almost ready, 90% are white and some good ambered.
Unfortunately buds aren't very large, I don't know why (maybe some mistakes with PH balance!?) but they are dense and nicely frosted, they smell really good like tropic fruitpineapple.
I just have to wash the roots and cut in the next few days
05/04--
05/05 I've totally removed fan leaves. Now branches has only my lovely flowers. Tomorrow I will start flush for her last week of life.
And this is last week of life for this baby.I've started flush at day 76, I flush for 10 days so I think to harvest at the finish of this week, next sunday or monday.
Plant smell a lot, tropical fruit, like pineapple in my opinion.
05/07 500ml of water, only flawless finish (2ml/l)
05/08 500ml of water, only flawless finish (2ml/l)
05/09 500ml of water, only flawless finish (2ml/l)
05/10 250ml of water, only flawless finish (2ml/l)
05/11 today is the last dayfor this baby, tomorrow I will chop down! I'm alittle bit sad for this 😪...
But I can't wait to smoke it 😬😎😎😎
05/12 GORILLA IS DOWN. Chopped and cured, now she is into my dark room. I dry it for 7 days, after this week, i take down buds from branches and I think to will them dry for others days.
I'm not super happy for results, I've made some mistakes like FATAL ERROR with PH balance during first stage of bloom.
The plant haven't grow very wellbut I do my best, this was my 3rd grow ever.
When I'm ready I will finish my diary.
THX to all for comments and likes.
Here we are at the end of this diary...
Unfortunately the harvest was not as I imagined. I had invested a lot of money with a new lamp and nutrients of first choice by Advanced Nutrients ....So such a poor harvest and such small buds are depressing!
Something went wrong because the harvest didn't even arrive at 30gr.
Probably the biggest mistake I made was keeping the PH level too low. Unfortunately, I relied on the tables provided by the trusted grow-shop where I bought my nutrients and proved to be wrong.
Perhaps another mistake was to defoliate the plant too much.
I would very much like to receive comments from experienced growers into community to understand where I went wrong and avoid new mistakes in the future.
However it was fun, interesting and constructive, like any cultivation, and that's what matters most.
It is a great satisfaction to see this plant grow and give beautiful flowers in just a few days.
@magicUmbrella, I harvested mine on week 12:
growdiaries.com/diaries/24384-meet-regina-quot-r-g-a-quot-my-first-auto
Just make sure you don't over feed/water her for the first week or so to let her root down & Then boom she'll be away !! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ShotGunBob Go with Canna or Buddha's Tree Coco A & B & When added to normal tap Water (Cold tap PH 7.5) & At their 4ml/pl dose it lands at Canna PH 5.8 or Buddhas Tree PH 6.4 & Raise them up to 4.5ml or 5.0ml doses for PH 5.7 & 6.2 later on or addon a PK booster (Buddha's Tree PK9/18 or Canna PK 13/14) instead. You'll also need a good Cal-Mag (Vitalink has Iron & PH set to be around neutral when added onto the regime 6.3 BT 5.7 Canna) & That's the equivalent then to A N's M/G/B (Just a lot better !!) So Cal-Mag is micro (Beneficial bacteria in coco) & Part A is Grow & Part B is bloom so Cal-Mag/Part A/Part B is M/G/B & Sensi Coco ?? Micro is in With Sensi Grow Part A & Sensi Bloom Part A as their Identical !! Same PPM & If it was bloom nutes Then why need big bud etc.. ?? & The PH perfect technology monitoring the PH ?? What a Crock of Sh** !! Setting each M/G/B bottle to land at PH 6.2 when added at 4ml per litre each makes it different to all of the other companies how ?? Canna are special !! They Update their products daily !! Not the packaging !! & The best advice I can give ?? Don't get dragged into all the additives & PPM's etc.. '~' Just mix the Canna Coco A&B & Bang it in, Stand back wait & See the results !! Honestly I was utterly gob smacked !! Monsterous !! So You can follow hype & Have pots stay wet !! Or Canna They eat it fast & Absolutely love it & I'll tell you why ?? Perfect - & + ion interactions !!

Don't be disappointed regarding the yield, learn how the read your plant. Apply some stress e.g. Lst and wait before you perform the next stress like defoliation. Let the plant suck the soil completely dry before you add water to the medium. Stretch the plant some more by increasing the distance between lamp and plant. Just those simple things can make a huge difference, but please whatever you do don't be disappointed as there is always some profit.. If not in huge yield then in wisdom
@GrowDutch,Thank you so much for your comment, give courage!
I am a novice, I have to learn a lot, I thought I worked well but the results were not as I expected them, it doesn't matter, you are right.
However it is really a very good hemp, very pleasant and powerful smoke, nice taste,to be consumed in the eveningnight to be relaxed before going to sleep.
