Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present.

Not a ton to report as I switch them to flower. The first day they went to the 12/12 light schedule I chopped the shit out of them, taking probably 100 fan leaves from the 4 plants all together. They're just too bushy and I feel like I'm asking for problems letting them grow into each other. Of course when you try to grow four plants in a 2x4 tent, that's an expected problem. They looked blended, bomb-out and depleted when I finished chopping leaves and pulling the main growth tips apart from each other and through the scrog net. I was a little worried that I overdid it, but 12 hours later they had more than bounced back. I'm a little leary of hard defoliation in flower, but pistils have hardly developed and the plants clearly need and respond well to it. I'm sure I'll take about the same amount from them a couple more times. A couple concerns: small amounts of white mold growth on the top of the coco of a couple plants and the sides of a couple bags. Very faint and not growing much. Also no signs of it on leaves or stems of the plants themselves. I've been spraying with a water/hydrogen peroxide mix. Also a few leaves here and there on a few of the plants look chewed up or torn. There are no signs of pests, so I think they're from some minor abuse during training or from the fan blowing. Will definitely be keeping an eye on mold/mildew and pests, especially going into spring locally.

The got trimmed up this weekend week early but had some time

Love this 1st grow. Even though its small. Hope I got good weight out of this. Smells great whenever I open my cupboard. Cant wait for my next grow green gelato auto. 😁

Grew really tall. "Explained up top", buds are really nice and dense, so overall I'm harpy with the yield. Harvested more or less whole. Drying 7 days. At least 3 more to go. Will get to trimming and weighting soon. Had a little tester last wk. But, was hard to get the measure of it. Was sweet, but pretty planty.. buds, as I said are dense.

End of week 12 and she started to produce some decent buds

Gelato got good yield about 30 g per plant Got some problems with mold on gelato Because the form of the buds , could not handle it Some colas are over 30 cm Don’t like the creamy taste ( banana was better) It’s definitely day stuff Density 7 out of 10 fluffy0

These plants are absolutely filling up the 5x5, if they keep it up I may have to remove one. I filled the reservoir with 6 gallons of water at midnight the other night and by noon the next day it was empty. I am putting in 6-7 gallons of water in res at a time and it is typically gone in 12 hours.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estas Gorilla Girl F1 fast version de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 70% de potencia. Tengo visitantes, trips que combatiremos con control biológico. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco este 100% con el proyecto. Con suerte la semana que viene andaré mejor. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

2/2 12am Hotel is looking great, got a great feeling about this. 2/3 1:31M BILLY MAY'S VERSION OF STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT....THE GREATEST SONG FOR STONER EARS...SO MOVING. 2/3 12:01 PM I have all three of the trailer Park boys going in one tent. I cut Ricky down way way down and I’ll cut bubbles back a little bit. I want them all to flower at the same time and the Ricky plant has been growing since September so I can cut quite a bit off. She’ll be just fine. It’s kind of funny looking so they’re kind of trailer trash looking. It’s all perfect what I lack in ability. I’m making up for in showmanship so if I screw up, it’s on purpose. It’s part of the show you wouldn’t understand.🎥 2/6 12:22AM CBG'S ARE ALL FAILS...BAD SEEDS? NOT ONE TURNED OUT GOOD. SO CBG SEEDS ARE ALL GARBAGE AND IN THE FUCKING TRASH NOW. AND I GOT LOTS OF DEVISTATING FINANCIAL NEWS SO I WILL BE SUICIDING OUT THIS MOTH SO FUCK YOU YOU THOSE WHO CAUSED THIS 2/8 11:47 AM still working on the plants though I added an AC Infiniti small boost fan cause I had one when my USB fan failed. It looks like a pretty solid set up. 2/8 2:51 PM KEIF Tray is full

*****Week 9 - September 14 to 20, 2020 - Days 57 to 63 from germination****** They were feeding well this week and took the higher more consistent amount of nutes well this week. Had to make a decision at the end of the week and I took out the small full spectrum light to put in the photo tent. They are in flower now and I held off as long as I can. These girls are closer to the end and I will keep the intensity focussed on LAK3 and GSC and let the other two live in the shadows and ripen😎 Not my first choice but everything is a trade off in life unfortunately☹️ Not an issue outdoor growers deal with👍 Little more detail: Sept 14/20 - Day 57 - Massive @ 3ml, Terpinator @ 2ml, Vitathrive & Liquid Weight & Rezin & Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 1,000ppm and 5.8pH - Feed for only LAK1......other girls area going to dry out another night. Sept 15/20 - Day 58 - Overdrive & Rezin @ 2ml, Liquid Weight & Vitathrive @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml - 650ppm and 5.6pH - 2L given to each girl Sept 17/20 - Day 60 - Overdrive & Rezin @ 1.5ml - 200ppm and 5.3pH - 2L each given to the girls. - Just a bit to help with swelling. Sept 18/20 - Day 61 - Massive @ 3ml, Terpinator @ 2ml, Vitathrive & Liquid Weight & Rezin & Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 1165ppm and 5.2pH - LAK1 - 4L, LAK2 - 2.5L, LAK3 - 3L Sept 20/20 - Day 63 - Terpinator @ 3ml, Overdrive @ 2ml, Sensyzime & Vitathrive & Liquid Weight & Rezin & Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 1045ppm and 5.3pH Wrapping up week 9 and heading into week 10........the days ahead are going to be the guessing ones......is she done yet???? To be honest I have not even looked close at trichome yet🧐 I fully expect to see day 74 with LAK1.......not sure LAK2 will make it that long???? LAK3 will still be a couple of weeks yet but she is roughly a week younger. Cheers Growmies and have a great week ahead🙏😃😃😃

9/6 - Looks like 6 of 6 germinated. They are now in the nursery. Going in the Organic direction with this grow. First time trying it but i like the fact that you can have a "living soil", reuse the soil, and a big thing thing for me is that you don't have to flush like you probably should if you use salt based synthetic nutrients. My 2 cents. 9/14 - progressing nicely. Installed a better light source for them.

First week of flushing.Here is my schedule for flushing with flawless finish. First flushing is with just a LOT lot water. Second flush:watering normal with flawless finish and flush after 20/24 Hours,let it sit overnight but be careful because trichomes will go crazy,if you don’t have enough milky trichomes this method will increase the trichome production immediately the next day. Repeat this method until you are satisfied with the results but don’t go more than 12/15 days,im using flawless finish 3 times in total so use it at least twice. 24 hours flawless finish isn’t doing any damage extra than the 8 hour schedule that advanced Nutrients prefer,but after 24 hours will start to damage the plant so you need to give a good flush after using it IM USING 1.5L WATER SO 2/2.5ml flawless finish

Just water again this week to help with the flush along with some light defoliation. The majority of the trichomes look mostly cloudy now and I’ve started to see a very small amount of them turn amber so all going well I will be turning the lights off for 48 hours some stage early next week. The buds have developed really well from the bottom up over the last couple of weeks and are stacking up nicely. The smell has also seriously increased this week. 😳

Well, that day has come, the girl would have been really different if not for the high temperature, strong light, and a huge lack of potassium :( well, everything will be fine next time :) live and learn :) I am satisfied with the result, which is what I need :) got 200 gr of liquid :) gathered a lot of sugar leaf :) they are already in the sweet shop :D I will make an addition!! good growth and success :)
