its been a little over a week since last Diary input due to Christmas holidays. These pics were taken 10 days after the first 12/12 lighting or the last Veg stage Diary update.
The plants are budding very strongly and have stretched around 6 inches. I have added another trellis netting to help support colas when they come (hopefully huge ones)
As before, the center girl has kept outgrowing, outstretching the outside plants even though lighting is intense everywhere. There is much more PPFD inside this tent than recommended for a 2x4, so I know it is pure genetics for this one plant.
There is no signs of any suffering, disease, or pests.
My clones did not fair so well. They were abused with improper lighting and over wet cubes. Only ONE may still survive but Im not holding much hope out for it even though it is showing a tiny root today.
Cyco Platinum nutrients seem to be working very well. I am still supplementing with a few chosen Advanced Nutrients which I still had in my stock and feel they are good products which are not doubled by the Cyco products.
All in all we are off to a great flowering cycle.
Plants are taking up 3gallons of liquid every 24-36 hours, which is around normal in my experiences and will continue to do this until I decide to defoliate during flowering.
Humboldt Seed Organisation has worked this line into a very healthy plant. Thank you for these seeds.
girls look stressed the last couple of days....wilty leaves as if they are thirsty. I think it is rootzone growth moreso than shock.
Not concerned, Im sure they will be just fine in a few more days.
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the support! Its been hard in the past to give extended Veg time... Every growmie wants to see their buds flowering and pull that 12/12 trigger is so hard to refrain from. :)
Best of luck with the grow my friend and thank you for choosing our Gorilla Breath for this adventure 🤗
Your of to a nice start mate, keep it up 👍
With love from Humboldt County ✌️
Kind regards

Awesome grow my friend, im currently in week 2 with my Sugar Breath! Its my first grow so hopefully they come out as beautiful as yours! Thanks for all the detailed updates weekly.. really gives me confidence and some breathing room when making sure im not killing mine haha my green thumb is still distant.
@Hellhazard, Thankyou, i will need it! I made quite the investment and did alot of research for my build..so im feeling somewhat prepared. The hardest part so far has been crafting a reservoir that was low profile enough for my ceiling height for an ebb and flow. Made sure i got a good TDS and PH tester. Running Growers Choice ROI-E680 up top with an AC Infinity T6 with a 6x16 carbon filter in a 4x4.
@Pot_Portraits,Even when things dont turn out perfect, its still your own grown pot. Best part is there is no questioning what went in it, or on it, or around it :)
Hey, I just found your grow.
You have a great setup - my ideal setup all the way down to the HSO Sugar Breath haha.
Following your pregress now, all the best.
Some nice steady growth with our Sugar Breath 🤗
Another 2 weeks of vegative growth and it will be time for the flowering fun 🤘
Looking good in here 👍

@Ga4rd2en0er, At this point in time I would not purchase COBs and go straight to the Chiled Logic pucks or to the quantum boards. Both are built with Samsung diodes of high caliber as far as I know for growers, by growers. Anything found on Amazon is likely snake oil that will either under perform, or be expensive, or be a super cheap pile of garbage.
When I purchase grow equipment I pull out the scales of justice and weigh my pros/cons based on what I can achieve as a final result in harvest vs how much money it would have cost me to purchase cannabis.... Usually you make your moneys worth back in one harvest and anything after that is all money you've saved into your own bank.......and Im not even talking about selling harvest, just what I havn't had to purchase.
@Hellhazard, I was torn between the growmau5 and the qb288s. Glad to see the in the wild an not just his youtube channel. Nice build. I'm just getting into diy this run and retired my china cheapo LEDs
@Ga4rd2en0er, It is a DIY build, but the entire system can be purchased at Rapidled .com. I started off a couple of years ago with 5 COBs. I then switched out 2 cobs for 2 pucks on my last grow. This grow I got 2 more Pucks and another driver. Now running 4 pucks, 3 Cobs on one rail with 2 drivers :)
It's time to see what our Gorilla Breath can do in flower mode 🤗
Good luck my friend and happy New year from Humboldt County🤘👊🙏
Kind regards ✌️

@Hellhazard, Sorry mate my mistake 😑
Sugar Breath looking fantastic, check out those colours coming through 🤗
Keep the updates coming as harvest is approaching fast mate 🤘
With love from Humboldt County✌️

I'm very disappointed to read that our Sugar Breath has let you down 😑
The end product does look really nice. Pretty colours and a decent crystal coverage 👍
May I ask. Did you have the end product lab tested to get the THC/CBD results?
Again, sorry this strain let you down!
Kind regards ✌️
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, No, I did not have the end results lab tested..... I had a few lower buds on me from center plant when I went to the local hydro supply store. A sales person happened to come in with a new testing device (Purpl Pro)....We ground and tested it.
It was still somewhat damp, I'd say around 65% RH and I know that alone would make a poor result.
Other buds he tested were dry (from other people and different strains) some tested 22%, 18%, 23%
This will not prevent me from using Humbolt Seed Org products...I am working on getting OGKZ started as we speak, from seed.
@HjelmVapor, Looks like we finally finished this "grow-off". There were many hurdles that hurt the final outcome but its not a perfect world right bro!
@Hellhazard Have you harvested our Sugar Breath buddy?
The last picture's look like pure 🔥
Enjoy 🤗
With love from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
They are really going to appreciate that extra medium to spread those roots out 🤗
Done at the perfect time 👍
Have you started to add feed yet or just water my friend?
With love from Humboldt County ✌️
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, When plants are this tiny, I only use 1/4 strength nutrients. The girls have perked up now, so transplant into 1.5gallon pots went well. Today will get another small watering with feed.
