Hey there! Welcome to this diary! I made it easy back in 2021. Sorry in advance for the Spanish audio. For my germination method I always use both the glass of water and the paper towel. Let me explain, the glass of water only goes for 6 to 12 hrs, it's just a soak that also contains 3-4 drops of hydrogen peroxide, this way we kill all pathogens that the seed may have on the outside. Then to a warm, moist and dark place with the paper towel, this seed sprouted pretty fast using this method. Then, once it has that tiny mouse tail of it goes to the pot, I keep it moist by putting a transparent cup upside down. Just to keep the dates, it just took from the 17th to the 19th to go from the cup with water, to the paper tower, to the soil, AND SPROUT!!

These b****** aren't healthy

Start of week 2 ladies are growing like beast gave them all botanicare kind bloom and base also gave them open sesame from fox farm line just gave 1/4 of the recommended dose. Was using Gaia green bloom but got a dwc grow going now and the botanicare is working better than anything I've seen before. 1st week went very well with the botanicare feeding plants really love it not sure what I'm going to do as the tent is way 2 full and stretch is not done yet.

We love the testing of these American strains, i can just recommend the 2 FAST 4 BUD'S Genetics, the auto Strains haven't for the price and the quantity the other's seedbank in test behind and they stay on first place together with sweetseeds, but like i say , testing isn't finish jet

Serious weight gaining this week, I’ve positioned a support stick next to the main stem ready for branches when necessary. Great news 🧑‍🌾 beautiful pungent smells and aromas from Jack, I’ll give him one last potent feed and then continue to feed water ph’d to 6. RQS have done it again by the looks of it! Some paling of the leaves and clouding if it’s trichomes now shows Jack is almost done. Thanks again for following and taking the time to read, stay safe out there and of course keep growing! 👊✌️👍

A lot more happening this week! As shown in the pics, and as suspected, I have a manganese deficiency. I've been keeping my pH level at 6.2 in coco, manganese is taken up best by the plant below 6.0 pH. Dropping my ph level to 5.8 pH, and flushing with lower pH, hopefully it will solve the issue over the course of a few days. I made a new frame for a SCROG, with a "custom bend" in the CPVC pipe on both ends. The bend will allow me to take advantage of the slack material in the sides of my 4x4 tent. I'd previously taken 4" out of all the upright poles to shorten the tent so it would fit in the room due to low ceilings, meaning I had extra slack in my tent walls. The bend in the net frame pushes the sides of the tent out to 5 foot wide. My first SCROG net was a 6" mesh from Amazon, immediately knew I wanted a smaller mesh. Next time around I built my own with a 4" mesh and used the 4" for several grows. This time I decided to go with an even smaller, 3" mesh, and already I like it better. I don't really see myself going much smaller than 3" mesh though. It seems to work well, and any smaller and it may be too tight trying to work the plant through the opening sometimes, which if not careful, will damage the plant. I usually use a & gal cloth pot, grow off rules stated we 0had to use a 5 gal pot. Seeing as I only had 7 gal on hand, I was stuck picking up a Root Farm 5 gal cloth pot locally, as you can see, the roots didn't really stay contained, nor did they "air prune", i had to tear them off before installing the net above. On the last day of week 6 I finally got my net installed, and the plant SCROGged. I should have put the net in place a week or two earlier, it would have been easier to manipulate the plant, however the plant will still have a week to recover. I tie the net in place above the plant, and slowly lower it down, as I bend and super crop the main stalk over parallel to the net, and work all the branches underneath and spread them out. As the plant grows I'll continue to push branches back down through the net and moving them out to the next hole. This will greatly increase yields by allowing light to more bud sites, keeping all buds the same height and thus the same distance from the light. small budsites on a vertical branch, will transform into their own cola once the branch is laid on its side. Instead of a Christmas tree type of plant, with one large main cola, and smaller and smaller buds as you move further down the plant, you end up with a bunch of colas that are all close to the same size, and more importantly, the same level of maturity. The SCROG method, combined with super cropping, and defoliation has greatly increased my yields. As the plant is getting worked into the net, I'll defoliate where necessary, ie a huge fan leaf covering bud sites, however for the next several weeks I'll be defoliating so mush every night or two, systematically trimming off all fan leaves, and stripping everything below the net, and any small bud sites that wont produce well. Usually by the time I'm half way through the flower stage there are no big fan leaves left to be found. It helps with light penetration, which results in a higher quality, higher quantity yield, as well as airflow, which will help prevent White Powdery Mildew and other molds etc. Once a fan leaf is 14 days old, its ability to photosynthesize light, starts to degrade. Once it reaches a certain point, the leaf drains more energy from the plant, than it's giving the plant. My best yields have been from heavily defoliated plants, my last grow I couldn't physically defoliate quite as heavily as usual, and I ended up about 25-30% less bud than expected

Flipped May 2nd *Selective defoliation (Open lower bud sites) *PH 5.5 😶 *Hydrogen Peroxide Foliar Spray *All set for now, hope all goes well from here!! Peace!🙌

DAY 30 of flower 🌸🌼 Tall gelato41 pheno Terps & nose comin of her is stupid Candy icecream lik 🍬🍭🍦🍧🍨🥜 Had a pheno lik this lik couple years ago bring Most gelato strains I kno of got spicy & nutty herb lik terps but this pheno got that candy terps brings mi back to so much memories!! just the nose on her 🍬 yum yum can’t wait till see her fatting up

July 31: started using soluble wood ash as K source. See today’s Gorilla Gelato diary entry for details.

LST this week showed huge results

Gebe ihr noch eine Woche Zeit um das Zelt besser auszufüllen und noch einige Triebe mehr zu entwickeln bevor ich sie dann endlich in die Blöte schicke. Alle unteren Blätter und Triebe wurden entfernt. Auch ‚Lollipopping‘ genannt. Bis jetzt wurde sie mit 300 Watt gedimmt beleuchtet.

4ª Settimana di Fioritura 💐 Buongiorno amici della Canapa 💚, ecco la bella Sweet Amnesia Haze 😋🤩 di SweetSeeds 💚🐘 nella 4a di fioritura. Cresci bella che ti vogliamo bene 😘

3rd week of flowering looking great . No deficiencies , no pH problems. Did some defoliation and strategic leaf removal to let more light hit the buds.

Northern light day 28 of seeing the world 🤘👊🙏 She got topped a couple of days ago and her lower shoots removed. She got some sunny days but now lots of rain on the way. Transplant after major rain. It’s gazebo time

Hey growers, welcome back to the Pineapple Upside Down grow journal — week 17 of veg. The plant keeps showing solid, consistent growth week after week. Her structure is getting stronger, and the canopy’s really starting to fill out nicely. Leaves are broad, green, and vibrant — a sign that she’s fully balanced and comfortable in her environment. Nutrient uptake looks perfect; the roots are clearly doing their job. I decided to raise the EC slightly, moving up to 1.8, since she’s been drinking more and showing signs of higher demand. pH remains stable, and the overall system is clean, well oxygenated, and running smoothly. For now, there’s no sign of deficiencies or stress. Everything’s running exactly as planned. I’m still unsure whether I’ll top her before moving to flower. That decision will depend on the final height and how much space she takes once she’s ready to transition into the flowering box. At this point, I prefer to let her develop naturally, focusing on strength and branch structure rather than manipulation. This phase is all about preparing her for a smooth transition into bloom, with maximum vigor and balanced nutrition. So for now, patience and observation. Next week should mark the last phase before flowering, and from there, things are going to get a lot more interesting. See you next week, growers — keep it clean, keep it green, and stay consistent. Peace

01/28/2021 Been 2 days under 1000w halide, seems to like it. Watered 2.0 liter of water. Just sitting there looking pretty.should notice some growth soon, but for now roots should be exploring there new soil. 02/01/2021 And 3 days later, Notice new growth at tips of course yay!

Wow Gnome Autos, while I seem to not have grew the blue pheno, the response and multiple budsites just from lst is amazing. She's behind her colleagues in the tent but definitely the largest of them. Really excited about this strain and up and coming breeder. ✌️ ❤️ 🌳 P.s. Gnome autos if you see this hook a growmie up with an Anvil bean or 2, I can't find them anywhere 😅

Week 3 In the beginning of Week 3 I used 1/2 teaspoon of Grow Big which was a mistake! They really just needed to be left alone! Showed the tiniest bit of nute burn on the tips and when I saw that I went straight to checking PPM which was at like 1500 (yikes) and flushed until I got it down by 300 ppm. Should have waited until the 3rd set of leaves to feed! Luckily it was caught early and they are flourishing with no further issues. The side lighting from the T5 bulb really seems to be helping. They are really going along nicely, here's hoping I can get them through the net few weeks in the same fashion :) Moved the light down from 28 inches in the beginning to 17/18 inches by the end of week 3. The plants seem to love it and aren't showing any signs of heat/light stress
