A-Day 53 (into week 8) B&C-Day 49 (end of week 7) A - She is stacking well, and feeling greasy! The smell is coming on stronger everyday, frost is just starting to build up. There is a distinct transition as the leaves go through veg to early flower to late flower. Uniform all around, not very tall, but she is hardy and thiccc! B- Full flower now, so many tops! She has shown to be a slower flower developer than A, but the flowers she are developing are almost completely uniform all across the 🌱! I assume because there are so many they will be a little slower. I put her ties back on, and the middle shoots exploded with new stretch and growth, so she is still in that stretch/flower stage. C- what can I say, patience is a virtue. She is looking lush and vigorous. With this being a slightly longer to finish auto strain, she has had time to recover from a) being a runt, B) having slow growth, c) having almost no training and lighter nutrient feeds her whole existence. This is also my control for Topping, she was not, A and B were. This strain is clearly hardy and able to withstand multiple techniques, we’ll see what the end the result is compared to her sisters. All three plants received a full nutrient feed x2 this week. That was: 3 gallons dechlorinated water mixed with 12 ml Micro, 12 ml Bud, 20 ml Grow, and 6 ml Sensi Extra CalMag, PH’d to 6.2. And another very low feeding of 1/3 that mixture mixed into 3 gallons of water. Ive heard many growers who instead of just watering, they will do a much lower strength of nutrients included in their watering, and ultimately never not feed their plants nutrients until flush. Thoughts?

Sep 7: Gorilla Cookies is doing great. It’s the biggest of the four plants with the most uniform manifolding job, it’s also the furthest along in flowering and will be the first one to finish. Hopefully by later this month and that we get lots of sun to drive trichome production. Still doing the 730 nm far red light at dusk as a bloom booster, and I’ll keep doing that until the end. And don’t take flash pics of your buds unless you’re then immediately using a far red light to put them into dark mode. Sep 9: bit of defoliation of lower branches and buds to direct plant’s energy upward and to maintain good airflow especially down low. Used my last bit of Cal-Mag as a few leaves on each of the plants was starting to show a minor calcium deficiency. Sep 10: beautiful weekend is probably the best one all summer with nice sun, no smoke and perfect room temperature sort of weather. Sitting here a minor gust of wind blew her over. This the fifth time a plant has blown over lately but first time for this one. The 5 gallon bags are big enough for what I want but still easy to move around to maximize sunlight. A drawback is the small pot needs to be stabilized by filled buckets. Sep 12: these buds are forming quickly and she is ahead of the other three plants by at least a week. Raising odour level to normal which is probably pretty loud for other people who can still smell most things. The tops are starting to look white when viewed from a distance so that’s pretty cool.

11/7/2022: decided to lower my scrog net 2 inches. Was probably a little late, so I had to do some super cropping to get the plants under the net. A little concerned since they are autos, but the plants are all still very healthy, so hopefully thete won't be any issues. Watered with the coconut powder and added some BuildASoil BuildABloom for the first time today. Also dropped the humidity down to 55% now that flowers are starting to develop. Puts my VPD at about 1.45. 11/9/2022: watered about 1.3 liters each, with Fish Shit, Bio-Phos, ThermX 70, and coconut powder. The snapped branch and supper cropping seem to be doing well. Looks like all three plants are near the end of stretch. The Strawberry Gushers continues to stack, and a few hairs are starting to brown. The tricomes are starting to develop as well. She smells funky. Almost sweet and sour. Something really unique. Excited for it to continue to develop. The Newberry and Orange Bubblegum aren't smelling as much yet, but they are a week or two behind. The Newberry has a bit more of a musky smell, but pretty faint still. 11/12/2022: fed all three a compost tea yesterday and they loved it . Been praying all day. The Strawberry Gushers has a minor purple stem, so I thought the tea might help. This may just also be the genetics, since this strain tend to turn purple in late flower. Figured the tea couldn't hurt and the girls are all reacting positively. Otherwise, thay all remain healthy. 11/13/2022: made a sprouted seed tea today using corn and watered about 1.3 liters to each plant. Avg. VPD:1.45 PPFD: 700 DLI: 45

definitely should have switched to flower a couple weeks earlier, only my 2nd time doing a scrog, the last one worked awesome, this one is way more full since I only did one strain instead of 4, but now it's too full, I have some real nice looking branches and tops going UNDER the canopy, week 4 I do a final defoliation, I will have to see if I can get these all up and in the net or remove some smaller ones to make space for the bigger branches

Week 10 I actually thought it will be ready soon, but the trichomes still need time. I hope to harvest it before the end of the week. Not growing anymore, I’m pretty happy about the size, can’t wait to harvest it! looks healthy

Week 8 Water only at 800ml lowering the lights on temps to 22c (70f) let see if we can get the purple senescence this 5g has been threatening and we know the Velvet Octane will finish with. Every girl is finishing nicely, FROSTY AF, and the smells are fantastic and sweet and slap you in the face the moment you open the tent. These girls are just getting photogenic so more to come next week.

The white widow is not playing about getting bigger, it broke out of its LST multiple times this past week. 🤦‍♂️🏽😂 The blueberry is just casually sailing along. Both are doing great! Had some ph fluctuation issues on all plants this week. Ph meter went out of calibration on me (sometimes accurate, sometimes not) I’ve got that problem corrected and hope all damage will stay in the past!

Hi there ! So from today 600W LED is placed in with 18 hours on and 6 hours off light schedule. Ventilation works at the same time as the lamp does. Watering: It will happen with 25 ml a day so 2× 12.5 ml water per plant. Fertilization starts on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. LST is also done as it can be seen. They don't look good this way but they just need to grow and get stronger it helps to yield more with the side branches. I will use FIM as well when they are ready I think at week 4 or 5. Day 18: OMG, I just realized I think I placed too close the lamp so I can see signs of burn of the plants. I mean some leaves get crispy in the edges. It is a brand new lamp and it was I think too close. I changed up higher. Hope it will be okay. Today was very hot outside so temperature went up as well even when the ventilation is on I saw it was 30 degrees. Too much. I opened the tent to have better air circulation and the temperature went down. Day 19: A bit hurts that I burnt them no nice but I also know that is is not a big problem. It will be gone as quickly as they grow. Anyways all fine part from this small beauty damage. Day 20: Now it clearly can be seen the damage that the LED lamp made because of me. Not nice, but it won't affect the growth. Well, I want to remove those leaves when the plants get matured to be nice. Next week I think I can do it. Everything else okay. Day 22: Haha I just actually removed the damaged leaves and now they look so pretty and healthy. I did not even have to wait until next week. All good nice girls there !!!!!

Now all plants are fully blooming and producing buds. The two plants on the back are really difficult for me to reach, so they'll have more leaves as I can't trim em. Especially the rigt back corner one, it's way bushier.
