🌸 Week 11 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week is in the books, and now all the phenos have officially entered the bulking phase. 🔥🌸 The flowers are swelling rapidly, and it's amazing to see how differently each phenotype is stacking and filling out. Every week brings more weight, stronger aromas, and denser buds. 📈 Current observations: All phenos are now focusing entirely on bulking up their flowers. Pheno #1 and #2 are producing massive buds, with some already reaching the size of soft drink cans. 🥤🔥 Pheno #6 has made incredible progress over the last two weeks. Although it had the slowest start, it has developed beautifully and is building flowers surprisingly well. It will most likely need around two extra weeks after the others and will probably finish the grow on its own. Pheno #3 unfortunately never fully recovered after I had to remove several main colas because they were growing into the SANlight fixture. While it's still producing nice flowers, it clearly lost some of its potential. Pheno #4 continues to be my personal favorite. The aroma is absolutely incredible, with a sweet Kush profile, and the buds are becoming rock hard already. 💎 📊 Current environment: Temperature: 31°C Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% ⏳ Looking ahead: If everything continues as expected, I think the first phenos will be ready for harvest in about two weeks. The final stage is always my favorite—watching the buds swell even more, the trichomes mature, and the terpene profiles reach their peak. I'm excited to see which phenotype finishes on top, but right now Pheno #4 is definitely leading the pack. 👑🔥 💬 Which pheno would you harvest first based on these updates?

So, this week pretty much just buds fattening. I think there is a problem developing with either pH or phosphorus deficiency. Got a pH test pen on the way so should find out what's going on soon. Leaves staring to look a bit off, but bud growth is solid. Tested pH and it looks good at 6.9 so I'm gonna increase bloom nutes cos it could be phosphorus or magnesium.

So she’s a week into flush with only about 10% amber trichomes so has a few more days yet. The bud size isn’t moving but the density of the buds has definitely increased. Let me know what you think. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

unfortunatly after having had very good weather things have changed. it's cold, it's raining and things don't seem to get better for the next 2 weeks. this will slow the growth of my two babies. i decided to protect her for the night cause temperatures are annouced under 10° at night 😓 anyway they look healthy... it is the most important

Strong smell small plant

I had to change the light this week. To smaller lights because of some fan leaves was turn at the tips away from the lights

The girls are looking beautiful!!!

Week 12 complete and she's starting to fatten up a tad more. Pistils are going brown but she kicks up new white ones every morning. 80-90% clear tricomes still and as I hoped she looks like she's got another week or two to go. Slight clawing of the leaves and some brown spots but they're very few of them. I've raised the LED a couple of inches just in case of light burn. Or it may be she still has a lot of food in the coco as after checking the runoff of tds it was around 1000ppm but as it's living soil she should just take what she needs and stop when she's had enough. And I'm still just feeding her water as I'm 'flushing' her. The Symphylans are still doing their job well from the looks of her!! After researching Symphylans, they are microscopic centipede like insects that are white and they mainly eat seedling roots or decaying organic matter..so they're essentially cleaning the medium..and they stay under the soil away from the light. They can makes holes in roots for pathogens to enter her..but as she's doing so well and as it's only a week or two away from harvest I'm not going to worry about it. If you want to see Symphylans in action check the last video from this week!! Next I'll be doing 2 x photoperiod Chocolopes 🍫 Thanks for stopping by - feel free to comment, give and feedback and follow - and I'll have another update next week!! 🤙

2/9 - 4 gal RO 2/10 - 5 gal RO 2/11 - Feeding nutrients plus cal/mag, 5 gal 2/12 - Feeding nutrients, 5 gal 2/13 - FINALLY FIGURED OUT MY ISSUE! The ph within the soil was too low. RO only at 6.5ph 2/14 - RO only 6.8ph 2/15 - Feeding nutrients, 4 gal at 6.7ph Monday 2/15 was one of the coldest days we've had, our winter storm took our power that evening. I was ok with going without lights, the plants would have made it through a day or two. However I was not prepared for below freezing temperatures. Overnight my plants froze to death. I went without power for another 36 hours at below freezing temperatures. There was no way I could save them now.

This week I added Floralicious Plus and Liquid Koolbloom to the nutrients to try and help with bulking and flavor profile down the road we shall see if this helps any. Overall this week looks to be quite average. Slow growth, the tent seems to be smelling quite beautiful more and more every time I open it up. Appears they like the stinky floralicious plus. These next few weeks is what I’ve been looking forward to so I’m getting very excited. That along with the fact it’s my sisters wedding today so there’s lots to do! Until next week y’all happy growing and happy smoking!

Just growing

Aug 31: she looks pretty close to done but I’ll see how much longer I can hold out on harvest. Chemdawg is a personal fave strain for effect and taste so I’m really looking forward to this one. Sep 1: still fighting the urge to harvest. Maybe next weekend. Nice weather and lots of sun lately so might be good to keep it going for a bit longer. Sep 2: harvest a small branch with three buds. Itching for some fresh stuff. Found my small scale and the branch and three buds weighs 8 g wet.

Week 9: Day 57-60: Seemed to have gotten the deficiencies(rather PH fluctuations causing them) under control. 4AM#3 took a while to recover but it has stopped progressing for the time being and the buds have continued to bulk up while the pistols start to orange out. 4#1 and #2 are doing good. They recovered faster and started to really bulk up. I'd say 4AM#1 has about 50-70% orange pistils while 4AM#2 and #3 are at about 10% by day 60. Damn like I said last week 4AM#2's buds are gona get huge! One of them tipped over on day 60, had to add support, but quite hard to find a spot when half the branch is the bud... Day 61-63: Continuing to bulk up, the 1.25x Calmg dose on day 60 seemed to do them well! 4AM#3 hasn't been showing any new signs of deficiencies, so that's good! Hoping she won't be too premature when I chop the plants(I am chopping days 73-74, only days I have time), but the pistils are starting to go crazy! Around 50% orange pistols now on 4AM#2 and #3! And 4AM#1 has about 90-95% orange pistils. When I used the handheld microscope, which is hard, the trichomes are almost all milky and some 5% amber on 4AM#1 and about 30-50% milky and a few amber on #2 and #3, seems like it will be just right! Can't wait! Gave em their last big feed of blume nutes on Dy 63, will be giving them plain PH'd water with Regulator till harvest. 10 Days left! almost there! 4AM#3 might look ugly but she still frosty and thicc as hell! Oh and they smell delicious!!! 😵 EDIT: Oh and just wanted to say thank you for all the help you all have given me so far! Oh and shout out to FastBuds, which sent me a message last week saying they were interested in me growing their genetics! They're sending me some free seeds for my next grow! How awesome is that!

Everything is looking great

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are getting into the 3rd week of flower, so you know what that means!!! Next week is Plagron Green Sensation 💚 and silica and a little cal mag, if needed... this girl is getting big.She is about two and a half feet wide and has been stretching like crazy.. this is gonna be a great plant and a nice harvest, and I can't wait to see how the Plagron nutrients swelling up those buds .. stick around because if need be I will add more pictures throughout the week .. thank you Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron for the opportunity to grow this beauty 😍.. I hope everyone is doing well on the contest.Since everybody else God bless and happy growing ✌️. Day 56 i just uploaded a video showing what she looks like after a massive defoliation. In lollipopping, we're focusing on the top of the plant.. hopefully the stretch is over and start stacking

drying under 62% rh and 21°C over 10 days. really good strain. Hast gelato with a little bit of gas and sweetness.

* Starting this week as the others, watering everyday, no deficiencies. * We put out the net and start to filling the canopy with light LST. * Raised the lights higher from 30cm --> 45cm. * Nuts : Gemma crystalize NPK 1 feed per week, rest of waterings with the other formulations.☝️ * In the half of this week, all looks normal. * Some pistils (starting from the previous week) on canopy turning amber, maybe a little earlier so we raised the lights (25k - 43k lux) to avoid any light/heat stress.
