Fourthish week of flower and they have begun to pray 🙏🏼 well, most of them anyways. The largest still is suffering from an untreated overwatering and over nuteing condition but the others are looking nice! The ones on the roof were in full prayer and loved the hot afternoon direct sun. At this point, giving the flowers a squeeze rewarded you with sticky fingertips and a smell of stinky gouda cheese or similar. Crystals were starting to form on the sugar leaves which was exciting to watch for the first time. I was thoroughly impressed with the prayer formation that these plants assumed when conditions were prime. Very cool! You could see how the plant was able to maximize leaf surface area exposure while blocking the least amount of light from the leaves below. The light was being run on 100% and temps would be between 83 and 85 degrees. I was OK running it a bit hotter as it's an LED light. I like the light a lot - especially it's precision. Each 25% dim increment correlated to 2 degrees temp change. Nice!

🇺🇸Week 3🇺🇸 – Growth Explosion & First Training Back again for this week’s update! The Mother Gorilla is going crazy—she’s growing at an insane pace, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. The plant is super strong, and the leaves are just massive. Some are reaching up to 21 cm long, which is wild. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. And honestly, I have to say—I’m seriously impressed by Formulex from Growth Technology. I’ve been using the same nutrient solution since the start, and the results are just insane. It’s such a simple product, but what it’s delivering so far is absolutely incredible. I’ll be switching to growth fertilizers soon (they’re on the way), but for now, I’m sticking with Formulex, and it’s honestly blowing my mind. Environmental Conditions Not much has changed on that front. The environment is still dialed in: • Temperature: ~22-23°C during the day, 18°C at night. • Nutrient solution temp: Holding steady at 17-18°C. • pH levels: Hovering around 5.8-6.0—had to adjust it slightly during the week, but nothing major. It’s stable overall. • VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit): Still around 0.6, which seems to be working well. As long as it stays below 0.8, I think we’re in the sweet spot. • Humidity: Holding at 70%. Everything’s been pretty stable, and it looks like the plant is loving it. Major Work This Week – Defoliation & Topping This week was huge in terms of plant training. The foliage was getting super dense, so I went in for a heavy defoliation, removing all the big fan leaves. On top of that, I topped the plant—cut the main shoot to redirect energy towards the secondary branches. The goal is to push those side branches so they can take full advantage of the SCROG I just set up! Now, it’s all about recovery. Hopefully, she bounces back strong, and we can really start working that SCROG. Alright, that’s it for this week! Let’s keep an eye on things and see how she responds. Super excited to check in next week and see how she evolves. 🇫🇷Semaine 3🇫🇷 – Explosion de croissance & Premier palissage De retour pour l’update de la semaine ! La Mother Gorilla part en vrille, elle pousse à une vitesse folle et franchement, je suis super content. La plante est ultra vigoureuse, et les feuilles sont juste énormes. Certaines atteignent 21 cm de longueur, c’est complètement dingue. Je crois que je n’ai jamais vu ça avant. Et franchement, je dois le dire—je suis vraiment impressionné par le Formulex de chez Growth Technology. J’utilise exactement la même solution nutritive depuis le début, et les résultats sont juste dingues. C’est un produit hyper simple, mais ce que ça donne pour l’instant, c’est vraiment incroyable. Je vais bientôt passer sur les engrais de croissance (ils sont en commande), mais en attendant, je continue avec Formulex, et ça me bluffe complètement. Conditions Environnementales Pas de gros changements de ce côté-là, tout est toujours bien calé : • Température : ~22-23°C en journée, 18°C la nuit. • Température de la solution nutritive : Toujours 17-18°C. • pH : Entre 5.8 et 6.0—j’ai dû l’ajuster un peu dans la semaine, mais rien de bien méchant. Globalement, c’est stable. • VPD (Déficit de Pression de Vapeur) : Toujours aux alentours de 0.6, ce qui a l’air de bien convenir. Tant qu’on ne dépasse pas 0.8, on est bien. • Humidité : 70% constants. Tout est super stable et visiblement, la plante kiffe ça. Travaux de la semaine – Défoliation & Topping Cette semaine, grosse session d’entretien. La canopée devenait hyper dense, donc j’ai fait une bonne défoliation, en enlevant toutes les grosses feuilles. J’ai aussi topé la plante—j’ai coupé l’apex principal pour rediriger l’énergie vers les branches secondaires. L’idée, c’est de booster les secondaires pour qu’elles profitent à fond du SCROG que je viens d’installer ! Maintenant, elle doit récupérer. J’espère qu’elle va repartir de plus belle et qu’on va vraiment pouvoir bosser ce SCROG. Voilà pour cette semaine ! On garde un œil sur tout ça et on voit comment elle évolue. Hâte de voir ce que ça va donner la semaine prochaine ! 🤘😎

Hello growmigos I don't think she is gonna finish off. The weather has really come in it's cold and wet and I think I'm either going to have a Hermie bush of pollinated hash material or I will have a putrid soggy mess of rot.. Maybe I am being too pessimistic but that's how itt feels. I put her in way too late but such is life. The good news is she smells divine filling my garden with a kinda White widow citronella smell. Frost is not an issue either as she is stacking piles of this too. I have noticed an ant best nearby tried to use my lady to farm some aphids.. but they are not foliar with this species of plant and her resin so now I have hundreds of ant corpses stuck to the frost..🤣🤣 She will need a bath. That's all really will just keep an eye and if she looks like she's going south I will just chop her and bubble what we get. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe 😷😷 Grow well 🌿🌱🌼

Had some crazy root growth this week and have put the girls in their final 11L pots already. They became rootbound in their last pots within 5 days of being potted up and started showing rootbound behaviour such as spots on leaves and droopy behaviour, also soil was drying out super fast. At first I was panicking about leaf septoria, had that before :/. Only when i checked the roots that I confirmed it was cos they were rootbound. I'm hoping this isn't an issue within the grow bags. I've never really played around with potting up before as mainly grown autos until now. Topped the girls a few days ago and have done some LST today to spread them ready for the scrog. Thanks for following :)

SuperSativaSeedClub PurplePunchOG Auto Week 5 update for these 3 little ladies. They all seem to be growing at different rates but over all seem healthy. I've decided to do a defoliation on all three, topped two and did some LST training so it's definitely been an eventful week. I'll start introducing some General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series in the coming feedings. Over all Happy Growing.

I topped both plants once thus far, cleared their lower nodes up to the 3rd node on "nemo" and 4th on "v" names are easier then saying seed 1 and seed 4. added pics and video of day 34/35 for these two. hope y'all can stand the slight off hue from grow light. pics/vids are taken on phone camera thru grow room glasses, when watered the 3 gal pots are heavy and not easy to yank out for a picture.

This was a nice taller plant that filled in nice and is extremely delicious. It has a slight orange flavor and smell mixed with a very strong sherbert taste and smell and very dank kushy skunk exhale but I still taste the orange sherbet too and it is mouthwatering and potent. I smoke it at night because it is very strong stuff. Highly recommended strain because it is very strong and very delicious

They seem to have stopped stretching and are now focusing on the buds. Very odd coloration happening on the leaves of the left plant. I'm thinking it's either a calcium deficiency or a manganese deficiency. Either way the buds are developing nicely still. Right is looking great right now, save for a few spider mites I had to squish earlier last week. Nice and frosty at 5th week of flower. If all goes well with both of these girls, I'll be harvesting them at the end of January. I'll definitely give them a bud washing b/c I found mites. Update 1/2/22: okay I've got a few notes to make on the progress as a whole. So after topping right, it seems like she started producing flowering hormones right after. While left focused on stretching for like a week more. Right has fat, compact and frosty buds- shaped like golf balls. Left has spire-shaped buds, not AS dense(still dense though, mind you), and less frost. So I'm thinking left is staggered behind right by about a week. Since this is week 5, we'll be able to tell just how far ahead she is by week 8.

Week 4 Veg & First Flowering Report: Runtz Battle 🌿✨ Hey, green warriors and cannabis aficionados! 🌱🔥 We’re rolling into week 4, and it’s time for the exciting transition into flowering. Our Runtz plants have been thriving, and we’re gearing up for a spectacular bloom phase. Let’s dive into the progress and celebrate the journey! Week 4 Veg Progress 🌟 As we wrap up week 4 of the vegetative stage, here’s a snapshot of how our Runtz plants are doing: • Healthy Transition 🌿: • All plants are looking robust and healthy, with vibrant foliage and strong growth. The transition into flowering is approaching smoothly, thanks to the solid foundation laid during the veg stage. • F1 Compactness 🌟: • The F1 strain is showing impressive compactness, with a well-structured and dense canopy. This trait is ideal for maximizing yield and ensuring even light distribution during the flowering phase. Flowering Phase Begins 🌸🚀 We’re officially entering the flowering phase, and the excitement is palpable. Here’s what’s happening: • Flowering Transition 🌿: • Our plants are beginning their journey into bloom, and the change is evident. The initial signs of flowering are emerging, setting the stage for a productive and beautiful flower cycle. • Autopots Activated 💧: • The Autopots are now fully operational, allowing gravity to manage our watering system efficiently. This setup ensures consistent hydration, freeing up time while maintaining optimal moisture levels for our plants. • Environmental Conditions 🌡️: • Water Levels: We’re maintaining consistent water levels with TDS at 400 and pH at 6.2, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and plant health. • Temperature: The room temperature is set at a cool 18°C, providing a stable environment conducive to healthy growth. • Room Conditions: With a room temperature of 30.3°C and a relative humidity (RH) of 51%, we’re keeping the environment balanced to support robust flowering. Nutrient and Care Strategy 🌱💧 As we move into flowering, our nutrient and care approach is key: • Watering and Nutrients 🌿: • We’re continuing with the Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir, as the soil is rich in biolife and nutrients. The goal is to see if these organic inputs, combined with the soil’s inherent nutrition, can sustain the plants through the flowering phase. • Environmental Control 🌡️: • Maintaining precise environmental conditions is crucial for a successful flowering phase. The combination of stable temperature, balanced humidity, and the Autopots system ensures our plants have everything they need to thrive and produce high-quality buds. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we step into the flowering phase, the anticipation is high. Our Runtz plants are set to showcase their full potential, and we’re excited to see the results. Each week brings new developments, and we’re committed to nurturing these beautiful plants to their fullest. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey. Here’s to a fantastic flowering phase filled with growth, discovery, and green magic. 🌟💚 #RuntzBattle #Week4Veg #FirstFloweringReport #Autopots #CannabisCommunity #FloweringPhase #PlantHealth #GreenMagic #NutrientStrategy #GrowStrong #StayPositive Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics Runtz F1 @zam.nesia Runtz auto @kannabiaglobal Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_official 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #RuntzBattle #KannabiaVsZamnesia #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️ link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Jun 10: Watered less than half gallon of Ph 6.7 water. Jun 12: That watering really gave a growth spurt! Bumping the humidity up to a max of 81% til early flower. Jun 13: Plant is tall enough to tie down the main stem to the side. Once the other stems get longer, I'll tie them down to the rim of the bucket as well, to maximize light exposure. Jun 15: Buckets are getting lighter, but the soil is moist, meaning my humidity was too high. That lead to some mold and algae that I will treat with spray Neem oil. Smells terrible, but should do the trick. Lowering humidity to 65% for a bit, then will probably get closer to 75% over the next few days. Decided to top, since the plant is getting big enough to support it!

Well what an eventful week, after trying to get her to bounce back, the smoothie has been put out into my outdoor grow house, if she finishes I'll take it as bonus buds, had to weigh up the pros and cons and figured giving the zkittles all that free space and concentrate on her would be best,.. first run on autos so you live and learn,.. zkittles is now on a adjusted week 9 feed, dropped the bio grow by half and just knocked the others down a little but, don't want to go through the same thing again with her,... she looks well though, what do you guys think?.. 🤔 day 56, roll on next week 👌👍🤞

Hola a todos!!!. Les comento como le fue esta semana a la auto black opium. La he regado en 2 ocasiones, en una solo con agua y en la otra regue con top auto 1.5ml x l y la última de top veg 2ml x litro de agua. En ambas ocasiones regue con 400ml . Ya comenzó a mostrar los pestillos, asique la próxima semana intuyo que será de floracion. El ph de dichos riego anduvo en los 6.4 , las ppm no las he medido..creo que no me olvido de anotar nada más. Hasta la próxima semana, y buenos humos!!!.
