Royal Gorilla - 1. Mal Photoperiodisch

Frutalba15 Week 1 is almost over. I had planned for two, but unfortunately, the second strain stayed in the soil :( In the first week, I watered 2x, 250ml at the beginning and about 400ml after 3-4 days. Starting tomorrow, I won't be around until Thursday. I'll water them one more time with about 600ml and hope they manage on their own!

Frutalba15 Week 2 is over and my plant is doing well. I just got home Sunday evening, and she looked thirsty. Unfortunately, it's really hard to time things with 4 days of absence… I hope she doesn't hold it against me :D My humidifier from Timu is driving me crazy. Either I have 45% humidity because it won't turn on or like last time (no joke) 99%!!! Because it completely went haywire… In the new tent, there will definitely be something different. I topped her on Sunday after there were 3 nodes and she looks generally healthy. Fertilized according to instructions, once. A bit of Calmag to prevent light burn and watered twice (couldn't do it more often since I wasn't there). Each time 1 - 1.5 liters. This time I want to adjust the water "more aggressively" upwards to really hit the roots :)

Frutalba15 The plant is developing splendidly. Unfortunately, I’m not often at home due to my seemingly endless travels. When I was home, I tried to keep it even and low with LST (since my box is just too small :()

Frutalba15 I was on vacation for a week and, thank God, my roommate didn't let them die!! I think they're missing some nutrients since they have very dark leaves, but maybe it's not that bad. Overall, she looks really good :) Due to the rampant growth, a lot of nodes have been covered up. I heavily defoliated her and pulled her down to a somewhat even level as best as I could with LST. I also bent the main stem down using Supercropping. She was watered and fertilized heavily, and she has one more week in Veggie, and I hope the little shoots catch up.

Frutalba15 She was able to really catch up in the last veggie week. The middle shoots are not quite as developed as the outer ones, but I have to initiate flowering now after almost 5 weeks due to time constraints. The leaves looked quite "hard" in some places; I don't know what that was about? Maybe someone can give me a tip. With that said, flowering here we come!!

Frutalba15 I was away for a week again... My travel plans are really clashing with my plant right now... It has developed well even without my presence, the stretch has kicked in right away. It was only watered, so it's a bit wild hehe. After checking with ChatGPT, I will have a slight nutrient lock due to too much CalMag. I was giving it preventively once a week, which was probably too much. The young shoots are turning slightly yellow. I will now flush it and keep observing.

Frutalba15 Flowering week 7 is here :) I put up the net to control the growth and let the middle catch up during the stretch. The outer shoots are getting a bit too big compared to the middle hehe. I couldn't flush, but I'm not giving any calmag anymore. You can see that the green is slightly coming back on the young shoots, but it's turning yellow from the bottom. That's potassium deficiency. So I'm going to flush today and fertilize normally during the next watering. End of week 7 and you can see the first beautiful buds forming 😍

Frutalba15 It's blooming!! She's slowly recovering from the potassium excess and probably the added light stress. At times, I had 1,200 ppfd... Now around 700-950 (depending on how tall the shoot is). She's getting greener and smells significantly more intense. After the stretch was over, I lollypopped and defoliated her. I think I left "too much" on, but I couldn't bring myself to do it haha. I'm very satisfied :)

Frutalba15 I was on the road all week, so I only watered twice and took pictures on two days. It smells really good now, lemony earthy😍 The buds are developing great, especially the main stems are looking really nice. It still hurts that the middle stems are so small… Well, you can't have it all.

Frutalba15 She's developing wonderfully! I'm fertilizing with every watering. Every 2-3 times I water with regular water. She smells really intense and is so sticky and resinous. When removing the occasional leaf, you have to be careful not to get stuck 🤣

Frutalba15 11th week and she's doing well. I defoliated her a bit so that the smaller buds can get some light :) She's taking in nutrients really well again!

Frutalba15 7. Flowering week!! Things are moving forward! 😍 She's getting a good dose of nutrients for 2 weeks. Buds are swelling noticeably.

Frutalba15 It's slowly approaching the end. It's maturing daily. Most of the trichomes are still clear, some are milky, and a few are amber, so it will take a bit longer 😄 Last week I'm watering with nutrients. After that, just with water. Unfortunately, the humidity is occasionally at 55-60%. I'm trying to counteract that with regular ventilation and the fan hanging down, blowing upwards. So far, it's going well :)

Frutalba15 Autumn is here 🍁 It's entering the final phase! The buds are really nice and thick in some places! Unfortunately, the lower ones aren't as much as the main stems, but that was to be expected. I'm already looking forward to the harvest 😍
