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!...

Welcome Back!💚
Die Sleepy Joe geht aktuell gut in die Breite und unter den buschigen breiten Blättern beginnen sie die Seitentriebe allmählich nach oben zu bohren. Allerdings liegen die Seitentriebe sehr eng an, so dass ich dies nun langsam zur Seite biege.
Auch kommt nun die nächsten Tage noch das Topping hinzu, da die Seitentriebe nicht ausreichend beleuchtet werden.
Die Pflanze wirkt relativ kompakt und gut beieinander, was so typisch für eine starken Indicawuchs ist.
Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind weiterhin optimal:
—————
🌞 Temp: 24°C bis 26°C
🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C
💨 RH: 68%
VPD: 0,7 kPa👍

Grüne Grüße 🥦

New week starts!
☀️12.10.2023
Pre-flowering state begins! There are white stigmas on the top of every plant. My garden is full of nice green bushes. But I'm still worring about they tall: maybe I'll use a SCROG net later, we'll see.
Another deal is a roots coming from lower part of trunks. It's because of 80% humadity in the box bottom. I should mount one more ventilator to aerate it.
☀️14.10.2023
78cm tall plants are too large for my box. I considered to mount a SCROG net and another 100w LED lamp to bend them down and give more light. Pre-flowering goes on...

8/3 Went over to treat the 10th planet that needed water with plant doctor around 10:30. I was in the garden at 6 but didn't have much time. That plant seems to be curled up or "droopy". It DID need water. I defoliated a few sep leaves off it but I didn't see any today. I guess I don't ever really see the leaves "up" or praying like I do with the rest of tge plants. It's starting to flower like the rest though. Today is the day everything is supposed to get its second or third plant doctor dose but I decided to wait until they need the water. I don't think 24hrs will mean much. I've been staying on top of defoliation but I'm seeing some pillar damage. I'd like to spray bt but what my buddy said about spraying with septoria is still in my head. Maybe I can use citric acid. That way it won't "wash away" spores it will just eat them. At least I think. And I hope lol. Birds get most of the pillars but I hand pick some too. I need to pick up nutes. Wondering if I should just get grow big again. I don't use much but plants are switching to flower and leaves are fading. I have big bloom and kool bloom bit neither have nitrogen. I still need some sort of nitrogen. Especially since that could be a deficiency. Not sure if it's the transition or a condition with the sep. I see some interior small leaves bleeding out and some dying. I'm wondering if what I thought was earwig damage years prior was really a combo of sep and they just ate the evidence. I'm super grateful though. I've got some resilient girls and they're doing well. The special kush in flower is gorgeous as well. Looks like I'll have an early plant. Short flowering time on this strain. Smells pungent.
8/4 Treated everything in the garden with plant doctor except the 10th planet I got yesterday. I need to take a closer look at that plant. It rarely looks "happy" like my others. I'll check it again later. 3tsp per gallon and 1gal a plant. The 10s got a half gallon. This seems to be working great. I have some defoliation to do on the tenth planet I was talking about earlier. Everything is in some form of flower. The flowers on that early special kush are getting bigger. I'll update this later.
UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT NOON TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT OTHER 10TH PLANET TO SEE IF IT PICKED UP AT ALL. IT DID. IM GLAD I CAME OVER TO CHECK THOUGH. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. THE OTHER 10TH PLANET LOOKS HORRIBLE O. FILM FROM ONE ANGLE LOL BUT ITS REALLY A GREAT LOOKING PLANT AND IM USUALLY FILMING AT LIKE 6AM. JIST WANTED TO STICK UP FORCMY GIRL AND HER BAD HAIR DAY. ITS BEEN HIT AND A FEW OF HER LEAVES ARE TACOED. SHE GOT HER FIRST "PREVENTATIVE" DOSE OF PLANT DOCTOR WHICH WAS HALF A TSP/GALLON. IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE DOING SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER. EVERYTHING IS. IM HAVING TO LOOK HARDER AND AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING LEAVES EFFECTED BY SEPTORIA. KNOCK ON WOOD. IM EXCITED. THIS IS GOING BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. IM STILL GOING TO BE MONITERING LIKE I USUALLY DO.

June 1st
A lot of indecision regarding when to take her down to begin drying, so I haven't updated for a little longer than usual. I thought I'd be updating this grow with drying/harvest photos by now, but the trichomes just aren't there yet.
The plant is beginning to look a little worse for wear, especially thanks to the main cola drying out and dying after being found to be full of mold. That's another reason I've felt ready to take her down, but after some thought I realise that just means I'm ready, not that the plant itself is.
We're still turning final, but I'm dialing things in for the final spurt of trichome development. Light schedule is now 11 on 13 off. Watering is still frequent, which apparently indicates a plant in full production. I'm going to take care to let the pot dry out completely while avoiding a big droop, and I've also decided to remove nutes and water without anything other than pH amendment.
According to a little research larger plants operate slightly differently when it comes to the maturation process, meaning a longer term to fully mature. While the RQS data sheet suggests something like 65 days for flower, in reality it might look something like 90. Patience is the thing here, so it's all down to the trichomes at this point, which are still mostly clear, with a small percentage of cloudy/amber.
As soon as we're in an obviously milky majority, she's coming down. Fingers crossed as always!

Transferring was a breeze and she loved it…looking at her explosive growth you can tell. Her vegetative state continues for the next 12 weeks hopefully into the dry season for a killer harvest.

My Strawberry Gorilla seedling is looking healthy with its deep, dark green leaves. I've been gradually increasing the light intensity over the past few days, which is crucial for autoflowers at this stage. It's definitely time to ramp up the light now, and I'm excited to see how it responds.
It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

🌸 Week 12 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt
Another week has passed, and we are finally reaching the end of this pheno hunt. It has been an exciting journey with plenty of highs, but unfortunately also a few setbacks during the final weeks.
📈 Current observations:
Unfortunately, Pheno #1 didn't make it to the finish line. Several buds developed bud rot, and rather than risking further contamination, I decided the best option was to remove and dispose of the entire plant.
Pheno #3 never fully recovered after I had to remove multiple main colas earlier in flower because they were growing into the SANlight fixture. That stress significantly reduced its flower production, and in the end it simply wasn't worth keeping until harvest.
Pheno #4 and #5 have now been harvested and are hanging to dry. Unfortunately, Pheno #4 accidentally snapped during handling, so I had no choice but to harvest it immediately. Luckily, it was already mature enough for harvest.
That leaves Pheno #2 and Pheno #6 as the final two plants still standing in the tent. They are continuing to finish their flowering cycle, and I'm expecting Pheno #2 to be ready for harvest sometime next week.
📊 Current environment:
Temperature: 31°C
Relative Humidity: 63%
VPD: ~1.66 kPa
SANlight fixture at maximum height
Light intensity: 90%
🌿 Final thoughts:
Even though not every phenotype made it to the finish line, that's exactly what a pheno hunt is about. Every plant tells a different story, and every run teaches something new. Some phenos exceeded my expectations, while others showed weaknesses under the exact same conditions.
Now the focus shifts to the final harvests, drying, curing, and, of course, the smoke test. I'm especially excited to compare Pheno #4, #5, #2, and #6 once everything is properly cured to see which one truly deserves the top spot.
💬 Which remaining pheno do you think will finish as the winner of this Gorilla Cookies Auto pheno hunt?
