Beginning of week..
So I went ahead and did a late defoliation.. humidity is sitting too high in the tent.. its been around 50 - 55 % RH but it does sometimes get up to 60% RH.. removing some of these leaves should help lower the RH AND lower the chances of getting mold.. these are gonna be some fat colas.. and those are the ones mold can creep up on.. doing my best.. dehumidifier just cant keep up.. but I also dont run it inside the tent due to the heat that thing and it's transformer give off when it runs for over 24 hours or so.. but she shouldn't mold.. I've got 3 fans inside just moving air.. but of course, sometimes that isn't enough.. but we will see how this goes.. may even add another fan.. keep it on the floor of the tent an point it up.. we shall see! But damn she smells so amazing.. i can smell alot of similarities from the Mandarin Cookies in here.. which also has Mandarin Sunset as a mother.. just as this one does.. but you can smell the skunk along with it.. but not as powerful as the citrus.. aw man the citrus.. love that shit.. I even chewed on a trichome covered fan leaf.. very delicious! So glad I have 9 more of this strain and a few others from ETHOS.. next run may be some Aura Genetix.. I've gotta see what fast versions are all about.. I bougt some of the Peach Bellini.. should be pretty epic.. keep an eye out for that diary after this one!
Mid week..
Lower branches are getting plenty of light after the defoliation. The smell is getting intense. My carbon filter has began to smell like shit lol. Not literally.. but it stinks.. maybe like rotten skunk or something.. I've ordered a new one but I took that smelly one off for now.. so the whole block smells like member berries right now till the new filter comes in.. tomorrow. I couldn't figure out what the smell was untill i accidentally got my face into the exhaust fan wind.. smelled like rotten skunky shit.. lol. I guess I forgot things need to be changed out every so often.. just figured "air" running thru it wouldn't make it crap out so fast. Been maybe 8 - 12 months.. something like that. Never used one before this.. but running some ETHOS, it is a must! So citrusy! Purples are slowly coming in. She really reminds me of the Mandarin Cookies I grew.. but I also think the Mandarin Cookies was heavier on the Mandarin Sunset phenotype side.. and this one is pretty similar. Scent, growth, stretch.. but I know I cant say for sure that's what it is.. this is just what I believe is going on. But wow.. such a beautiful plant.. I've had to run a a few twist ties to other branches in order to keep them from flopping over, leaning on eachother and the sides of the tent.. should have scrogged I guess lol.. live and learn tho.. but so far its not too bad.. but this early on shows me what I might have to be dealing with in the next couple of weeks cuz they are beginning to get STACKED! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... ETHOS for the win 🏆
Later that day...
Wow.. going back in again and now she smells just like the Early Lemon Berry! Wth! How is that even possible?! She is doing amazing things! Some calyxes are beginning to turn purple. Some of the top leaves are as well. Tried to get some decent pics of it.. but I guess I cant figure the new phone out.. as you can see, some pics are a little blurry. And sometims the capture is delayed behind the flash and I still get a dark pic as if it didnt even flash.. but whatever.. I can't wait to see what she has to offer! Such a gorgeous girlie! So happy and excited for this one!
End of week..
Nothing left to do now but feed/water for about 1 more week and she will be ready for the 2 week flush!.. I normally like to just water as normal (without nutes, duh) for the entire 2 weeks and still keep checking runoff.. maybe FloraKleen once a week and then just water till harvest! So far, I am starting to see some milky! Still mostly clear, but that means she is getting closer! So excited! This girl really smells just like the Early Lemon Berry I grew! But still with a bit of sweetness to it too! Aw man I can't wait! Anyways... on to the next week!...

So gonna stick with 1ml/l for the rest of the grow now, i think the problems were just too much in the soil and since lowering nutes the problems are slowing down. Another week or two for the Zkittlez, seeing amber on the sugar leaves but not quite on the buds yet although it is mostly cloudy. Lemon AK is behing as it was germed later but still looks to be forming some nice buds and now has a fantastic smell of its own. Looking forward to these so much cant wait!!!!

Dropped using the Bloom this week to address the tip burn & added more bamboo to support the colas, hope to harvest in a couple weeks I think.

Blue Sunset Sherbet
Day 63#
Well, like this... the situation is much better, the plant has completely recovered, even if it was the least affected, but it was, for sure.
She started extracting a little nitrogen from the lower leaves, but no big deal, the last two waterings only received clean water, so it's not surprising, although she was a little hungrier from the beginning because I thought that in the country where there is more food, however, it turned out that there is less, and again I can't exaggerate because of the accumulation of salt, and it wouldn't make sense to suddenly increase the dose of food or the number of feedings, I could only cause a problem. Just slowly and gradually.
I will leave those leaves until the next watering, because then I will feed her, and then I will remove them, so that she does not extract nitrogen from the next leaves.
One thing that caught my eye is that the plant is quite thin and tall, so it might be a male, I wouldn't want to guess, but it's not impossible even if the seed is feminized.
I'm very suspicious of everything, but maybe I'm just tripping, maybe it's only up to the pot, it's not wide and it's not a big volume, although I've had much wider and thicker plants in slightly bigger pots than this one and at this time, the stems on this one are a little thicker than inside.
Today is the end of the ninth week for the plant.
Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

An here we are. At the end of another cycle. The end of another year, and what a year it was. For Sunshine and me personally, it was a tough year, with our families sick on multiple occasions, life-threatening. We are very thankful for many things but most of all that all our parents are healthy again.
We wish your families are as fortunate in the coming year.
So we end this Gorilla's life with a swift cut of the scissors, after thanking her again for the companionship, the well-needed distraction, and all the love she has given me already.
I sometimes read that people won't go near their plants when they are angry or sad. Please do go to your plants when you are sad or angry!
They are millions of years old. They have been healers of animals and humans since they were around. Our emotions can not taint something so pure as the spirit of this plant.
She will heal us, give her life for us, sacrifice herself for our healing. She is all-powerful and all-knowing, there is nothing we mere humans can do, except disrespect her powers.
Bask in her glowing light, enjoy her soothing energy, her creative spark when you are in need of love, just don't smoke her at that time, for she will soothe you bit not give her treasures, she will seduce you.
Next to thanking Santa Maria for her healing, we would like to thank our friends here, all who shared their kind words, advice, and attention.
I had made a video to share my thanks on video, but every time I got very emotional. You guys have no idea how tough this year was.
The gorilla is real easy to clean and sticky and cristally. Its amazingly great to smoke!
So a special thanks to: @Sailormoonflowers for being a buddy to talk to, @JamMAKEcan for being there with ideas and always a lot of love, @Roberts for being an inspiration @Cannabeast and @LegendarySeedThumb for always checking out my grows, to all who I forgot who are always here to greet me! @Growdiaries for being an awesome site and community and last but not least: @MarsHydroLED for letting us try their SP-3000.
VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX
We wish all of you freedom, love, happiness, but also the awareness to see many of us are still being repressed, with growing but also with our human rights.
Jah jah gave us life to live, so let us live brothers!
It is time the rastaman made a plan!
We are 99% loving people on this planet, we need no 1% to fuck it up with wars and strife.
We need to stop cooperating, peacefully resist. If you can buy local, ban exploiting multinationals.
Help your local businesses, help your neighbors, we need to wake up and stop funding this black stain on our planet.
Sell your stock in multinationals, invest in local businesses.
Buy local products, speak out when you get taxed higher than millionaires (and you are).
The day is coming my brothers and sisters. Soon a handful of CEO's will find out when billions are done with them.
For now thanks for everything!

The first plant was only about 9 inches from the top of the pot to her main cola tips, so she yielded like 12 grams 🤣🤣
The second was much more full bud, alot more of it as well. It's a gorgeous plant and it's crazy to see how dark it really is, everyone that sees it is kind of star struck for a second.

Le 48ème jour se déroule avec grâce, malgré un léger obstacle : une carence en calcium touchant l'une de nos chères plantes. Heureusement, avec une dose ajustée de calcium, j'espère avoir rectifié ce déséquilibre, veillant à ce que notre verdoyante compagne retrouve son équilibre nutritionnel.
Cette plante, bien que modeste en taille, se distingue par sa structure compacte et robuste. Ses fleurs commencent à se parer d'une riche couche de trichomes, scintillant de promesses et de potentiel.
Je poursuivrai l'apport méticuleux de nutriments, dansant délicatement sur la ligne fine entre suffisance et excès. L'objectif reste clair : nourrir sans surcharger, pour éviter tout risque de brûlure par excès de nutriments.
Au regard de l'état actuel de notre protégée, je prévois qu'elle atteint son apogée dans les 9 à 10 semaines.
Remarque : carence en calcium a la 5/6e semaines rectifié avec l'ajout de CallMag
La plante présente un grand nombre de trychomes et des feuilles violacée sur le dessous.
Engrais : moitié de la dose recommandée en NPK pour corriger les carences, a vérifier si brûlures.

Esta cosecha fue muy buena con excelentes resultados de flores muy compactas y demasiado resinosas , la genética en sí es muy resinosa con olor muy característico , con sabores terrosos muy marcados .

Another week in the books, one maybe 2 more to go, if the weather holds and humidity doesn't go crazy. Since grow diaries doesn't support more than 32 weeks, it's a bit of a pain to track the rest of this grow. Still I will post updates.

Will report back with a smoke report, but this thing smells incredible and budded extremely well.
Didn't have much of any issues with pests. Got a BIG 4' plant from only super soil in a 5-gallon fabric pot.
Tons of resin.
Very impressed with these automatic genetics from Pride of the Lion Seeds... and I'll definitely be growing another one of them in the spring.
