Some of the equipment that I'll be using in this grow along with the Black Cream auto well be growing 4 cream Mandarin xl auto and x 4 gorilla girl xl auto and attempting some sort of ScroG attempt on these lady's or LST to keep my canopy even but also to allow as much light penetration and usage of light ad we don't want to see the floor as where wasting space ...
So to start this auto run I'm currently refitting the grow room but germanation will happen within this current week I'd say the 26-1-2021
Hi So we germated on the 25-1-2021
Methòd : GLASS OF H2O UNTIL SEEDS SUNK ONLY THEN MOVE DIRECTLY TO SUBSTRATES
VEG X 2 400W
BLOOM X 2 600W WEEKS 2 - 8
WEEK 8+ 660W SUPER LUMEN SETTING
CANNA TERRA PROFESSIONAL SOIL 200 LT .
WATERED WITH PH 6.2
NUTES WILL START AT HALF DOES AT WEEK 2
ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHIBG ABOUT THE GROW SEND ME A MAIL ILL BE HAPPY TO CHAT ABOUT IT
THIS IS MY 3RD RUN SINCE AUG
FRIST RUN WAS 0.18 GRAMS PER WATT
SECOND RUN WAS 0.8 GRAMS PER WATT SO HOPING FOR SOMETHIBG AROUND 1 GRAMS PER WATT
This being the smaller of the plants I did place them up back and kept the XL s together hoping the smaller plants are better suited closer to the roof as the Xls might gain some height
To be fair the Black Cream Auto has stayed with pace with my 2 XL strains from @Sweet_Seeds , so yea very impressed with her growth so far.
Alongside the Black Cream Auto we've are also featuring the
Gorilla girl xl auto
Cream Mandarin xl auto
Growing info this week
Light hours 20 / 4
X 2 400w HID dual spectrum
P.H- 6.2 - 6.4
25oC day temp
21oC night temp
Feeding . P.H water only until week two or accordingly to plant needs only
All 12 girls have preformed amazing , planning on ScroG attempt with these lady's
Please any tips or general question please mail I love to talk cannabis
Hey anyone any PPM range on the black cream auto please let me know
MONSTER GROWTH
Two weeks from seed and 7inch in height is amazing growth around 21cm . Girls had there frist nutes , they have been growing so fast if I wasn't to give them a light feed I could hurt growth if they where lacking N especially at this point .
Growing conditions
18/6
Day 25oC
Night 18oC
Nutes 100%
All 12 plants are doing amazing thoe the cream Mandarin xl auto is showing show good XL traits
Gorilla girl we expect to be more stout and thicker stemmed
Black cream I expect to grow really well as these tend to have a fast harvest time
Having a tempuature control until during veg and heaters for lights off to maintain a steady tempuature has greatly increased growth rate by about 200% the frist week . The growth rate over all is amazing equals to more than 2/3 " inch growth per 24/hours
Also where running the girls under x2 400w HIDs this has also showed better growth overall . So changing up to 600w would only be done now under careful consideration as the 400ws have a cross section meaning each light overs the whole room thoe 2 lights give a more even coverage towards the edges of the grow room .
Are lights are hung approx 36 inch above canopy any will not get any closer during the whole grow as some point they will only be raised to keep a steady 3 foot gap between light and canopy if I need more light there a 600w and also 660w super lumen setting to achieve more output.
So growth has been amazing and I can't get round how much extra growth with the lower setting in light and tempuature controller and heater has changed conditions thoe aloud some amazing results ... if your wondering is it worth the 50£ why yes it is .... Anyone needing info on setup I'd be glad to help
FRIST 21 DAYS FROM SEED
All 12 girls remain healthy,
BLACK CREAM
noticed a few spot on the x4black cream and I'm not sure if there from feeding , IPM spray or I used a bottle from last grow and I think there might have been salts in the bottom .. Nothing major but something that did catch my attention. And I was aware of from lights on .
GORILLA GIRL
really good growth from all very strudy looking structure going on and looks like very good root growth , good to see the smaller girl starting to grow faster also she's the smallest from seed at only 5 inch tall she's half the size of the biggest thinking about topping any girls who aren't in flower I have noticed a pistles on one gorilla girl so she was frist to flower at 20days from seed .
CREAM MANDARIN
Yet again the WINNER of the week goes to the no.1 pheno of the cream Mandarin very rigours growth growing both height , leaf spam nodes and root system sucking up that water quicker than any other girl either making her a better plant ... giving some of the girl an extra day between watering . Amazing photos show the true scale of this girl and how quickly she's devolped might have me in serious height related issue but I do realise LST be in order but seriouslywe will worrie about that soon and start prepping for the growth explosion that's about to unfold around us ... aiming for a total of 750 grams of all 12 girls

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE GIRLS
X4 GG / GORILLA GIRL XL ( green straw )
X4 CM / CREAM MANDARIN XL( orange straw)
X4 BC/ BLACK CREAM ( purple straw )
SOME WILL HAVE PICTURES WITH GG, CM, BC OR THE STRAWS ARE COLOURED
TOPPED 3 OF EACH GIRLS - X9 TOPPED
GIRLS ARE MOSTLY ABOVE 10 INCH APART FROM THE 3 GIRLS I DIDNT TOP AS THEY JUST WERNT GETTING BIG ENOUGHT FOR MY LIKING SO LEFT THEM AS THEY SEEM TO BE GROWING SLOWER AND DIDNT WANNA RISK STUNTING THEM
ALL GIRLS ARE IN PRE FLOWER AND STARTING DEVOLPOLING PISTLE AND IM NEARLY SURE THIS WEEK WILL SEE SOME GROWTH EXPLOSION THEN BY THE END OF THE WEEK STRECTHING SHOULD BE IN FULL SWING AS VEG START TO TURN TO FLOWER THIS IS INDICATION TO START FLOWERING NUTES AND REDUCE THE ( N ) NITROGEN NPK. AND INCREASE ( P & K ) BUT DONT STOP ( N ) FULLY REDUCE TO ABOUT 20% IF PLANT SHOULD HAVE ( N ) ABUANTANCE ONLY THEN STOP FOR A FEW FEEDS AND THEN HOW YOU MOVE FORWARDS DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION ..
TEMPS 25oC DAY / 17oC NIGHT
0.5 LITERS PER DAY SLOWING INCREASING EACH WEEK OR WHEN NEEDED
P.H 6.4 - 6.5
LIGHT 18 - 6
NUTES 75% MIGHT DECREASE TO 50% AS SOME GIRLS SHOWING SIGNS OF TO MOUCH THIS MIGHT BE BECAUSE INCREASE IN WATER INTAKE HAS RESULTED IN MORE NUTES BEING CARRIED INTO THE PLANTS
CREAM MANDARIN NOTES : VERY TRUE TO SAYING SHES XL I HAD TO TOP THE PLANTS BECAUSE THE CREAM MANDARIN WHERE GOING TO GET TO BIG , VERY AGGRESSIVE AND GROWING NODES AND PISTLES AT 28 DAYS FROM SEED SHES BIG AT 15 INCH TOPPED
GORILLA GIRL , VERY VIGOURS PLANT , STOUT REALLY TIGHT NODE SPACING ALSO SO IT MIGHT GROW SLIGHT SMALLER THAN EXPECTING BUT THERE ALL DOING GOOD
BLACK CREAM , GROWING WELL AND HASNT DONE BAD TO THE TOPPING ALL PLANTS HAVE HAD SOME LEAF TUCKING ALSO AND THE ODD FAN LEAD REMOVED THOE NEW GROWTH HAS STARTED TO EXPLODE AND ALL THE SIDE BRANCHES HAS STARTED GAINING NODES AND SMALLER SIDE BRANCHES
LAST NOTE , THE GIRLS WILL ONLY BE 23 DAYS ABOVE SOIL FROM SEEDED THOE WE STARTED COUNTING THE DAY WE OPENED THE SEED PACKET AND PLACED IT INTO A GLASS OF WATER THEN STRAIGHT TO SUBSTRATE BUT 28 DAYS FROM SEED
So had to bin X1 black cream as stress due to topping turned her hermi
HOW TO IDENTIFY THE GIRLS
X4 GG / GORILLA GIRL XL ( green straw )
X4 CM / CREAM MANDARIN XL( orange straw)
X3 BC/ BLACK CREAM ( purple straw )
SOME WILL HAVE PICTURES WITH GG, CM, BC OR THE STRAWS ARE COLOURED
11 girls remain
BLACK CREAM AUTO
HAS GREW AMAZING NONETHELESS ONE DID TURN HERMI DUE TO TOPPING I DONT THINK IT WAS THE REAL REASON , BEFORE SHE HEALED I HAD UNDERWATERED SLIGHLY AND PUT MORE STRESS ON THE HERMI BY ACCIDENTALLY BREAKING A BRANCH .
ONE BLACK CREAM IS ABOUT 25 INCH AND PREFORMING AS OF YET IN PEACE TO THE BIGGER PLANTS ( XL ) THE OTHER TWO ARE BELOW 20 INCH THOE STILL GOING GOOD HEALTHY AND STRONG
GORILLA GIRL XL AUTO .
AMAZING STRUCTURE AND HASNT GAVE ANY ISSUES SO FAR GREAT SIZE AND IS GROWING NODES AFTER NODES CRAZY AMAOUNT OF BRANCHES AND BUD SITES ON THESE GIRLS , SOME CRAZY AMOUNT OF PISTLES GROWING AROUND THE NODE SITES AS GIRLS ARE WELL INTO PRE FLOWER AND IN STRECTH ABOUT 3 DAYS NOW AND GAINED 10 INCH APPOX THIS WEEK.
AROUND 20 INCH ON AVG
PUT THIS GIRL ON PAR TO BECOME 30 - 50 INCH DEPENDING ON GROWTH AND LENGHT OF STRECTH.
GORILLA GIRL HAS BEEN MY FAVOURITE TO TRY BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER THC LEVEL COMING UP TO END OF FLOWER TEMPS WILL BE REDUCED TO 21oC TO PROTECT TERPENS AND RESIN THAT BIT EXTRA
CREAM MANDARIN XL AUTO IS ONE BEAST OF A PLANT , THIS ONE HAS THE SAME GENITICS NEARLY WEATHER ITS A 13L POT OR 16L. IF ITS TOPPED OR NOT IT PRODUCES SAME HEIGHT AND STATUTE. GIRLS ARE DRINKING ABOUT 0.75 LITERS OF WATER EVERY 24 HOURS ALREADY . THE SHEER AMOUNT OF PISTLES FORMING OVER THESE CREAM MANDARIN IS A LOT MORE NORMAL AT 5 WEEKS FROM SEED . IF ITS FROM FRIST LEAVES ITS 4 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS OLD AND 25 INCH TALL WITH ABUNDANTS OF PISTLES DOES MAKE THIS MY FAVOURITE GIRL SO FAR IN VEG .
THESE PLANTS HAVE PREFORMED AMAZINGLY AND NOTHING LESS .
INFO
LIGHTS : 18 - 6
NUTES 100% GHE TRI PART
TEMP DAY
: 25oC
TEMP NIGHT : 25oC
Okay so the 11 girls left are doing amazing
One black cream slightly underwatered
One black cream in the bin . Went hermi
Cream Mandarin xl auto has the best overall pheno thoe one girl looks bad she's knocking out some mad amount of pistles and gorilla girl is doing good overall quite happy with all her pheno types.
Started 7 girls in a SCROG to open them up some more ... starting to flower and strecth seems to be nearly finished but all girls will remain at 25 inch canopy as this allows maximum light at 700 plus M/mol's per second and temps and hudmity all set where gonna watch these girls put on some serious weight over the next three weeks as flowering is about mid way currently
Narrowly mis calculated the girls where all underwatered but hey it's better than over watering as it damaged the CM no.1 pheno with one extra watering so the dry spells and underwatering seem to fix that problem also ...
4 girls are under 1 600w hps
3 GG
1 BC
And
ScroG has the following under 600w hps
1 GG
( green straw or dot )
4 CM
( orange straw or dot )
2 BC
( purple straw or dot )
( mini SOG AND TRELLIS NETTING )
ABOUT 6FT (L) BY 4 FOOT (W)
As of week 5 and day 5 the day of writing , we have the N ISSUE sorted the over / underwatering under somewhat control just hoping when pots dry again and are flooded they respond well .
The only girls still in fast strecth is the black cream she's had to get a second layer of trellis netting to make sure she stays 2 foot away from light as she's spitting out 600w and the other I tuned down to 400w as she's lower and was creating a heat spot at edge of canopy under the ScroG and temps where reduced inside the room by 3oC at a more reasonable temp of 24oC
Lights 18 / 6
NUTES micro , bloom 100% , PK buddy 100%
No Grow givin as the leaves looked shiny on some girls
Also gave each plant a feed with p.h water at 6.3 to 6.5 2lt per plant then main feed that same say which soaked all the pots but the girls seemed to enjoy the drowed pots and thrived off them 24 hours later some pots are looking dryer than normal .
So this has giving me good confidents we have the grow ready for the main part of flower starting which means we can all put a countdown of about 3 weeks untill chop . These girls have started to flower earlier than expected but the lights are set at 22 inch from canopy with the plants reciving around 600 - 900 m/mols per second across the room ... I think a mix of higher m/mol good watering and the right amount of nutes has put these girls on par to finish for their recommended harvest of 9 weeks from seed ... this is the start of week 6 so 3 full weeks of flower and there loaded with pistles ready to put the weight on already , seen some resin production start from all the girls very little so far but it's started also the flower site's are starting to gain in size as under the pistles start to form and gain weight , as I've ScrOG 7 girls ive opened them up for maxium exposures to the HPS LAMPS , the lower fan sugar leafs and flower sited are now getting fixed light penetration to individual site's... this will not change untill end of flower the girls will sit where there are now ...
Noticed that some girls look like there missing the N now as I've not included any this week because I noticed some shiny leaves so decided to cut it back as I've had problems in flower twice now with N toxicity so taken this a good idea to feed with PH water to run off Also to clear the soil of any build ups before flower ... currently feeding at 550 - 600ppm approx girls look okay and are being pushed super hard
Any advice on my growing would be a massive help ... happy growing and stay safe people ..
This grow contains all SWEET SEEDS
X4 CREAM MANDARIN XL AUTO

GREEN DOT OR STRAW
X3 BLACK CREAM AUTO
PURPLE DOT OR STRAW
THIS WEEK WEVE SEEN SOME GIRLS START TO GO INTO LATE FLOWER AND PROUDING RESIN AND FLOWER ONE HAS ONLY STOPPED HER STRECTH THATS ALL GIRLS NOW GOING TOWARDS LATE FLOWER ... SO IF I WATER OKAY AND PROVIDE PK nutes only at this point and p.h to 6.4
One black cream is still getting 33% of micro grow and bloom and also a PK buddy 1ml/Lt
Going to come back and update with more info but these pics should do some justice
NEW PHOTOS UPDATED
@Sweet_seeds only flower room
Gorilla girl xl auto - green dot
Has done amazing the nugs are seriously frosted and temps at night are reduced from 20 down to 18oC every day it will be reduced by 0.5oC as it's gonna help protect the tricomes
There's 4 gorillas total and one is on par to finish frist in the tent , I could in theory harvest as there's about 80% milky and buds are nugs already . The other three are about two Mabey 18 days away Mabey 21 but seriously doing well ... one gorilla not in the ScroG was topped and trained and one was not there is a clear difference that the stress of topping and LST created a plant with huge golf ball sized PISTLE balls you'll not miss this girl it's like lòokng at buds that's about to grow the leaves instead ..
All girls have recived a trim during the week and big in the way fan leaves removed to increase airflow ... GORILLA GIRL IS AN AGGRESSIVE PLANT WHEN STRESSED IN THE CORRECT CONDITIONS ... DONT NOT ATTEMPT TO TOP YOUR PLANTS UNLESS THERE 100% HEALTHY AND THRIVING THIS IS WHERE YOU STUNN GROWTH
The smell of the gorilla girl is , dank pepper smell you know it's pure fire as the gorilla girl is the one creating all the smell with only one girl having proper flowers , saying that the other girl with the golf ball sized pre flower site's they hadn't even started late flower and where massive smelled all the same as the other gorilla girl and with both praying hard and basically smelling the same at diffrent stages shows the gentic line is solid like the cream Mandarin also ... the black cream showed its got the genicitics but its looking like a ramdom luck for pheno type and colour where the other two shows more of of the same generically breed traits GG & CM in the pics above ... some are within there last 14 and 21 days
Cream Mandarin xl auto - orange dot
This BEAST of a plant took extremely well to being topped and trained the colas on these plants will be off great size as the plants shape and health are amazing . No bother from the start I also trained 3 topped and left one to grow alone , topping and training brings out massive potential in these girls and give the plant good size top buds but by harvest these bud will be fairly large in weight as there all tops now... there will be 1 of each plant that wasn't trained and ones that where trained and topped too show how correctly trained and topped plants will produce many main colas instead of one ... it also shows the bud site's are larger in all plants all over there's more pistles and the trained and topped plants will finish up about a week ahead of the untrained cream Mandarin... where into the last 21 days for all plants ...
The smell of the plant is like some type of orange smell I haven't figured it out but still very nice still time to go for smells to change
______________________________________________
Black cream - purple dot
Well the purple/pink/red colours are showing through on two out of 3 trained and untrained plants have purple colour . The longest vegging plant and the biggest is a black cream auto although it's not purple it's all green . My temps are 18oc night now and will reduce 0.3oc per day for the next week or its possible even longer . Where looking for a slow
(depignentation) where the leaves colour changing from green to fall colours as the lower temps affect the plant and how it's produces the colour green . If I'm wrong correct me please ... over all the black cream is still doing well with every plant having different pheno types ... one is the smallest in the room the other has monster buds forming now and the longest and biggest plant in pre flower which isn't purple is the 3rd pheno which is a very big plant with lots of flower site's ...
The smell of this plant is very fruity and sweet
_____________________________________________
Girls have went amazing this week and have put on some serious size of flower for there current age of 8 weeks in a few days ... dairy is always updated on Sundays.

Growing -
Gorilla girl xl auto
Cream Mandarin xl auto
Black cream auto
... basic info
Lights 18 - 6
Nutes stuck around 500 ppm
Late flower
Girls are getting fat buds and dense dense buds on them thoe there under 1200w currently going up to 1320w with both lamps full power to give them that final push air flow was increase 180m2 per hour basically and I've had to drop a second filter in with Ona pro block 170g ... anyone have smell leaks these are amazing at just removing the smell simply by setting it infront of the fan ... I can't smell the plants unless I physically touch them it over powers that much and I've 11 plants
The Ona block pro 170g is a life saver for 13£ delivered amazing results and plant safe which is the main point
Okay so I'm not going to start man handling my plants as the resin is why I'm growing it and I don't want it damaged every micro gland of resin is why where growing the leaf itself the buds it's nope the resin is why we grow ...
There all filling out tryed pushing them up to about 700ppm to 750 ppm and plants recived some minor leaf damage so I dropped back down to 500 ppm it's late into flower and I'll just use some ripen and that should do untill harvest also I'm letting them dry out somewhat more and giving them colder colder conditions and more light in hope well get some discoloration of the leaves as it would look really nice in this grow
The gorilla girl is aggressive still yet and the buds are all gonna be in grams proper solid nugs and still a way to go
Cream Mandarin xl auto has super fat buds and is gonna bring in one he'll of a harvest this plant would be a sure to be in my garden again as how she's preformed is solid ... solid genicitics easy to manage
Black cream has massive size buds bigger than the rest but aren't as near dense some of.the gorilla girls smaller buds would weight somewhere the same .. still firm and not fluffy but not as dense as the other two strains also one is pinkish on black/dark purple and the last plant to go into flower is the all green flowering black cream and she's the biggest
So harvest looks set in week 9 , 10 and Mabey 11 but we won't see week 12 and Mabey the frist lot of buds will be dryed and curing by week 12 ... happy growing
.Okay so I do own up to mistakes and within a week I made a few , my last defoliation I shouldn't have done slowed the girls down to much .. also note not to go past 600 ppm with these strains or at least try not to I tryed three times and burnt the girls everytime although they are drinking 1.5 liter per day per plant
Gorilla girl xl auto
This plant has massive dense buds for there size you can certainly tell that they'll still tip the scales with density over size ... as I've said it's got that dank peppery smell seriously dank without being touched or dryed I no this strain is gonna stink , I went and bought another Ona PRO block 170g as these are pretty amazing at removing smell, these girls still have a way to go
Cream Mandarin xl auto
What's not good to say 1 of 4 plants was ready 8 weeks 5 days from seed now the other 3 are growing away two trained and topped also 1 untrained buds are roughly gold ball sized but I do think if these girls are left to ride it out THEY will still put on desent amounts of weight
Black cream auto
Massive buds on the frist to make the cut I reckon my frist black cream will yeild about 30 - 35 dry grams as these are my frist autos to be topped and trained I think these bigger top buds are worth the sacrifice of the popcorn buds and there's still a noticeable difference in the size of flower when the bottom is stripped down
Okay so this is just the number 1# pheno
2 # and 3 # still growing at present and need more time, week or 2 .
This girl 1# is down and dry I g currently I'll do weighs ect as they come and also full report ...
Pure bliss of a plant to grow came out to harvest without any problems and under 9 weeks from seed to harvest as seedbank says with optimal conditions where mainly maintained through out the grow and topping and training went to plan and did not slow this girl down she still finished on time ... topped day 26 I believe just before strecth started and all lower branches became tops alone with all branches on topped plants became all top branches increasing yeilds I do belive as these buds are gonna hold some weight even after trim compared with the untrained and UNTOPPED plants don't look half as good in any shape or form a... topping with ScrOG IS certainly a new must for me as these buds show outstanding size for an auto some of these plants will rival up some photo periods
Okay so I've only harvested 1 of 3 plants
1 plant went hermi. I take full responsibility for braking a branch after only topping
Okay the girl that's chopped is purple the small pheno 2# is growing along with number 3# the longer vegging time made one fucking bad ass plant she's massive bud site and she's no where near done there huge I've notice but not as dense as the other strains but the amount of flower makes up the difference.
Harvested plant is drying in a cardboard box hanging by there branches or stems as I'm using the room to flower this I'm not concerned about it's not prefect but ive 68 gram Boveda packs 62% humidity got 1 pack for each strain as it does up to 1 pound ( 450g)
So drying is gonna take about 10 to 14 days then into container with the boveda packs for curing which means I don't have to worrie about my flower as long as she's dryed through properly these packs pick up the uncertainty and add or remove moisture as needed within the container without having to open it and check hydrometers
OFFICIALLY 9 WEEK 6 DAYS OLD ON 4-4-21 dairy says week 11 this week has week great anyways
STILL TO HARVEST

THESE ARE STILL GROWING AT A FAST PACE , SOME LEAVES HAVE BEEN BURNT DUE TO A LARGE TEMP SWING WHICH I MANAGED TO CATCH EARLY ON .
THOE PLANTS HAVE GREAT FOLIAGE DOWN UNDER THE CANOPY AND BUDS DOWN THERE ARE STARTING TO RIPEN UP NICELY
TEMPS ARE 26oC INO ITS HIGH THOE ITS THE LOWEST I CAN KEEP IT WITH THE HPS LIGHTING . X2 400W CURRENTLY RUNNING AS
X660W BURNT SOME LEAVES WITH THE PK ISSUE FRIM LAST WEEK THOE I DONT THINK ITS REALLY AFFECT THE PLANTS MABEY A DAY OR TWO AT MOST
STILL DRINKING 1.5LTS PER PLANT PER 24HOURS
ADDED SOME N , micro PK , GHE GROW MICRO BLOOM 40% TO HELP SOME PLANTS MAKE GOOD BUDS AND NOT REMOVING ALL FOOD BUT IVE KEPT THESE GIRLS ON SMALLER AMOUNTS SINCE WEEK 7 AS THEY DIDNT TAKE WELL TO OVER 550PPM I WENT 758 AND CAUSE PK TOCITXY TWICE , I DID ATTEMPT THE 750PPM A SECOND TIME AND IT GOT WORSE , THOE THESE PLANTS ARE TESTERS FOR @SWEET_SEEDS SO WE TRYED A FEW APPROACHES FROM TOPPING AND LST TO NOTHING AT ALL AND THE RESULTS BECAUSE WE HAD 11 PANTS TO SHOW A MORE DIVERSE RANGE OF RESULTS WHERE ACHIEVED. TOPPING AND SCROG SETTING LOOKS TO HARVEST AMAZING FIST SIZE BUDS BIG DENSE MONSTER IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER PLANTS WHICH RECEIVED NO TOPPING OR TRAINING DISPLAYED DIFFERENT BUD STRUCTURE , THE BUDS ARE DENSER ON THE TOPPED AND TRAINNED PLANTS IN THE SCROG LOOK TO BE VERY GOOD YEILDERS FOR 25 INCH IN HEIGHT THEY LOOK SET TO RIVAL THE FULL SIZE PLANTS AND LOOK ALREADY TO BE OF WEIGHT AND MIGHT EVEN YEILD MORE ON ONE GORILLA GIRL I EXPECT TO YEILD ABOUT 3 OZ OR MORE OF A PLANT 25 INCH IN HEIGHT , CHECK OUT MY GORILLA GIRL DAIRY FOR PHOTOS OF THE NUMBER #1 PHENOS
EACH STRAIN NAMED ABOVE WILL ALREADY HAVE 1 HARVESTED PLANT AT WEEK 8 DAY 5 ... STILL DRYING AND WILL BE FOR ABOUT 14 DAYS IN TOTAL BEFORE GOING TO BE CURED

GORILLA GIRL IS PURE DANK , THIS STUFF IS SMELLY ALREADY WAS JUST 5 DAYS FROM CHOP AND THAT PEPPERY SMELL IS COMING BACK
CREAM MANDARIN ALREADY SMELLS LIKE ORANGE EARTHY AND HAY , NEEDS A LOT MORE TIME.
BLACK CREAM SMELLS FRUITY DELICIOUS AS I DID THINK ABOUT THIS STRAIN ALOT AND HOW SMOOTH IT WAS TO SMOKE LAST TIME UTTERLY AMAZING SMOKE THATS WHY WE GREW HER AGAIN .
ALL IN ALL PLANTS WILL BE GROWING AWAY UNTILL I NEED TO HARVEST THOE WAITING ON THE FRIST LOT FINISHING THE DRYING PROCESS TO START THE NEXT ROUND OF HARVESTING
TOPPED AND TRAINED PLANT PREFORMED AMAZING STRUCTURE AND SPEED , BIGGER FLOWER SITES AND GREW BETTER WITH NO PROBLEM THE UNTOPPED AND UNTRAINED PLANTS DIDNT PREFORM ANYWHERE NEAR AS GOOD THOE I DO FEEL THIS IS ONLY THE CASE WHEN PLANTS ARE ALREADY FIT HEALTHY PRAYING AND NO ISSUE IN THE PREVIOUS 72 HOURS
Well what can I say apart from I've had a real easy couple of weeks just RIPEN from GHE .

BASIC INFO ,
Plants have been amazing this week and are putting on some nice aromas and density on the buds , I hate to touch them but sometimes it's a must to make sure there at full weight
All plants are doing amazing I have all plants one last feed of
GHE flora tri part
Grow 50%
Micro 60%
Bloom 100%
Apart from this one feed it's been RIPEN GHE 3ml/L
Plants -
GORILLA GIRL
No.1 pheno has gained some more density I didn't think it's possible but she's a bud producing monster
No.2 small topped plant / mutation extra bud site and fan leaf per node leaving 3 of each instead of two has smaller rock hard buds going from the bottom right up for a small plant she's got plenty of flower
No.3 pheno , UNTOPPED or UN-TRAINED has done well thoe buds and performance wasn't as good as the topped plants also bud structure is less dense thoe more of it the buds won't weight up to even the smaller plants as there buds at the moment are like bricks . All three remaining gorilla girls are doing great
Extra note the no.1 pheno GG is getting some crazy fall colours looking amazing
CREAM MANDARIN XL AUTO
X2 TOPPED and TRAINED plants have done amazing with some seriously big dense frosty buds I can't speak highly enough of the gorilla girl but also this cream Mandarin has shown very stable gentics as these two plants grew nearly the same apart from pistles colour they don't pretty much equal .
Plants do have a nice orange smell
NO TRAINING OR TOPPING plant has done well with plenty of buds and flower site thoe.size and density doesn't match the topped and trained plants which performed alot better and quicker than I expected. This plant buds aren't as dense but still desent sized flower for no help and at time the lights where down to 400w per square meter
BLACK CREAM AUTO
I love this strain last time it was fruity and tropical flavours which is different than the more dank smokes like gorilla girl . I haven't been impressed with this strain for yeild but I sort of didn't expect it either so I'm not going to count this in my harvest report the small plant is nearly done the big green girl has saved my rating for this plant as it's created alot of flower . Bigger in size structure although it's lacking density but it's still away to go before I harvest as you would all know the plants need time to gained weight.
BASIC INFO ON CONDITIONS
lights now 24/7 last two weeks

45% RH controlled auto
Temp 21oC controlled auto
1.5 liter of water per plant per day
Both lights 600w if temps drop another 3oC I'll put them both on 660w ..
I've noticed from turning to 24 hour light all the buds have started gaining alot more density alot more than I expected some on the gorilla girl and cream Mandarin are massive dense buds . Bigger than your normal grinder
These girls are very close to harvest all less than 21 days I don't want to say 14 incase I'm wrong and these girls want more time but the 24 hour light I think might speed it up as I've noticed better performance out of 24 hour light with autoflowers if you can provide low temps high light output ..24oC or less not to damage any flowers with too high temps consistently wearing down leaves during flowering could impact harvest
This week has been amazing growth has not stopped and some plants are going into controlled depignentation .

Unfortunately we've had to remove one black cream auto as she started to devolope male parts as well as female parts (hermi) so she got the cut... 11 girls still remain
Topped 9 of the girls after topping two plants and they should no slower growth or problems , it did slow growth by about 12 hours before lights out plants where doing super so another 6 got there heads cut off meaning with 9 plants we have 18 new tops and 21 tops altogether now
Also broke a branch on a plant yesterday noticed it looking like shit today so pulled it off
Also lights moved and airflow out increased as temps warm up I don't want GG genetics turning hermi as it has GORILLA GLUE #4 GENITICS which was a hermi itself ... but high high THC
@Lukush, check the new harvest phtots the big green on is in the description it's the photo of the plant still standing in the background is that big black cream although it's green in colour
@Lukush, I will do I can't belive the size of the green black cream she's released from the netting and she's massive I'll need to tie her back with some LST as her buds are just forming and are on course to dwarf the last set , smells quite fruity with all 3 plants but looking at the green black cream is werid
@Lukush, I got one out of the auto mix pack only plant that fitted the bill thoe out of a collected bunch the black cream are doing the best . Thoe in there own right the gorilla girl xl auto and the cream Mandarin xl auto are doing nearly just as good
@Igrowneil, love a game plan and sounds like u got it all mapped out, a fair few seeds ur popping fingers crossed u get 100% germination 🤞 i have heard and researched into dropping the temperature its risky im sure 2 weeks was the limit off the top of my head, as is darkness forn2 days before harvest. Im following u so will keep me eyes open andbget feedback I ain't got the fundamentals or the space to do that just yet but once I'm further into my development wouldn't mind giving ur technique a go myself. Fingers crossed u will have some seriously resinous smoke once harvest. Thanks for sharing technique, knowledge is power and in this game all these little tweaks help..
Happy growing mate and I hope ur next harvest is fruitful 💯💯
@Syrunz, germinating 12 , x4 gorilla girl xl auto, x4 black cream auto and , x4 cream Mandarin xl auto hopefully all 12 pop as I'm looking forwards to this grow as my 1st and 2nd ever grows turned out pretty good , now where back with double the power double the plants in the same size space as the last grow a lot more equipment to keep the environment stable at specific ranges through out the grow
as the week go on I'll reduce the temp towards 16oc will be the final day temp and night temp will be 3oc I'll also in the last two weeks before chop ill reduce the light to 400w to mimic winter coming along with the tempuature droping off over the days , this is the point the plant should produce more resin to protect the flower .... it happens with nature I could destroy a full harvest but it's worth a shot to improve THC degradation to a minimum amount heat and light both destroy the THC I believe so tempuature reduction done in a very slow and controlled manner should in theory be better for the plants flowers. I do belive I'll get the XL plants to 3 foot alone with the black cream in a ScroG type grow or LST I haven't fully decided yet
