_________________ End week 2 update: _________________ What a great plant so far. She is truly fantastic. The growth this week is incredible. Seems like she has a nice open structure. I'll try to increase budsites by applying leaftucking. First time sprayed with vita race in the beginning of the week. She seems to like the ironspray. Also gave some supplements for the first time. Such as kelp, omina, power roots and pure zym. No noteworthy problems, Started leaftucking where possible. So very satisfied with the progress this week. On to the next week

_________________ End of week 3 update: _________________ I started leaftucking, where possible. Has had a positive impact immediately. The growth in this plant is good. Although she is certainly not the biggest of the gang. She has certainly made a great progress. Short internodes and good number of side shoots Plant is preparing for flowering. Signs of pre-flowering are present. Apart from the additives that I provide, no additional nutrients have been added. But i starting to notice some calmg defficienty. Which is strange because I use regular tapwater and never experrienced this. I'll keep an eye out for it

_________________ End of week 5 update: _________________ First real week of flowering behind us. A huge growth spurt this week from a 63cm to a good 100cm. She has grown from a compact little girl into a big airy lady. She has a nice structure, ideal for light penetration and optimal for air circulation. A lot of budsited have developed and leaftucking has ensured that there are a lot of side shoots. I am satisfied with the development of this strain. In terms of nutrients I am on the limit. Still some calmg defficienty. Somethings wrong, not sure what... Wondering what she has in store for me in the coming weeks.

_________________ End of week 6 update: _________________ This week there was some extra vertical growth, she has become a good 15cm bigger. She has a beautiful airy structure. The creation of budsites is also very good. The leaftucking certainly had a positive impact. At the beginning of the week I sprayed her for the last time with a vita race. I have also raised some flowering nutes. Still some calmg defficienty. Used calmg boost, but doesnt seem to do the trick. Looks like a nutrient lock out... Not sure why...

--------------- End of week 7 --------------- The growth is finally ended. Plant now focuses on thickening the buds. Have completely cut back the zym and root stimulant. Plants only get some Kelp, vitamin B, omina, plagron bloom and green sensation. As you can see, this gorilla is a very big lady. The bloom seems to be very exuberant. Hopefully she can continue to carry her weight. On to the next week

--------------- End of week 8 --------------- As I feared a bit last week, she has a lot of trouble to carry her weight. The bloom was explosive this week and I had to intervene to support her. Anyway, there are worse problems. It was an excellent week in her development. The budding of the buds is going very well. She also tolerates her diet very well. She can really handle some nutrients. But I am not going to increase it since we are in the last few weeks. She continues to amaze me. What an incredible beast. She is + -102cm, very sturdy for an autoflower. Also the number of bud sites I find amazing, its airy structure certainly contributes to this beautiful number. a great plant to work with.

End of week 8 She had a good solid week of maturing. Despite the many issues. (pH is around 6.6 and ec is around 0.9) Their seems to be a little nutrient lock out. Wich results in a shortage of calmag and iron. It also looks like their is to much potassium in the soil. Not gonna try all kind of crazyness to correct this. I'm just gonna let her mature for a couple of weeks without to much extras. Smell and look of the buds are still great.

End of week 9: Alright, another week has passed. As you can see the problems remained but luckely the maturing and riping of the buds aren't too much negatively effected. Surely without all these issues she would have done better. But for the state she is in, I can't complain. Buds are ripening well and the colour on this one is absolutely gorgeous. Looking damn fine. Smell and resin production are ok, but not the dankest smelling or looking. Planning to let her ripe for another 2 weeks. On to the next week!

First and foremost, everyone thanks for following and the many comments. It really motivated me to fill in this diary as well as possible. Within a few weeks I will start a new round and hopefully you will follow again. Thank you growdiaries community! very satisfied with this strain and grow. as I stated earlier this has been a fantastic breeding. what an incredible number of tasty fat buds. the yield for a 15l pot under a 400w lamp is also good. she shared the limited space with 3 other plants, so you can only be enthusiastic about it. a strain that I am going to grow again. fastbuds convinced me with their genetics
