Well here we go into Week Seven and the fourth week of flower has begun! ππ With seven weeks of initial growth behind them now, the FastBuds Gorilla Cookies Auto's are on FIRE and are putting everything into stacking their flowers for these last couple of weeks!
Thank you for following along this journey with me, especially with FastBud's announcement of this 'Tester Strain #2103's name being revealed as 'Purple Punch'!
Growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! ππ
~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano.
~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower
~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
4/12- Well the fourth week of flower is here and these girls don't have far to go! Both have densely stacked flowers that are SOLID to the squeeze and the trichomes on both of these ladies will be making for some killer extractions after they're harvested!
Both were watered with 0.50g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms ChaChing added @ 0.5 tsp/g and Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC.
I'm continuing with the daily routine of making sure they're watered, fed and turning their pots 1/4 turn twice daily to expose as much of them to as much light as possible!
4/14- My girl's recieved their usual watering of 0.50g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms ChaChing added @ 0.5 tsp/g and Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC which they're both doing fantastic on, showing no signs of any issues and putting out some gorgeous ass flowers!
Their color, vigor and overall health remain consistently on point and they both have a deliciously sweet aroma coming from their flowers!...It'll make your mouth water!π
4/16- Yesterday was a 'dry' day as their 10g fabric pots were still pretty heavy, so I continued with the daily routine of checking the moisture level of their medium, feeding when needed and turning their pots 1/4 turn twice daily to expose as much of them to as much light as possible!
Today they recieved 0.5g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms ChaChing added @ 0.5 tsp/g and Bembe @ 1 tbsp/g, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC which they're both doing extremely well on, showing no signs of any issues whatsoever!
4/18- Week Four of flower is behind us now and the finish line is in my sights! π
Watering continued today with 0.5g of dechlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 72 deg. to continue with their flush.
They both are getting real close to going dark for 72hrs. The #1 pheno, which is the one with the long 'legs', has started her fade and is looking gorgeous! The #2 phenotype, aka 'Shorty', is still a dark green with densely stacked, resinous buds and I'm checking her trichomes daily along with her sister.
Their trichomes are about 80% milky, with some clear one's still visible and here and there an amber one. They'll be ready for their 72hr dark period before they're hung to dry any day now and needless to say I'm anxiously awaiting that time... The drying room is ready and waiting!
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the final weeks approach and the end of this journey draws closer... Grow Strong! ππ~
@Antony_mow, After a week in the jars, I pressed some of the flower which had a 22-24% return of gorgeous rosin. I use the 'sugar trim' for bubble hash and/or the sift screens. π€ͺβ€οΈ
