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?

W19 (Harvest) 6-6 Last day before harvest. 7-6 Harvest day! Installed a humidifier outside the tent, set to 55% aiming for a 60% humidity inside the dry tent. 17-6 After 10 days of drying she is ready to be trimmed. While posting this a couple of months later i found out that i totally forgot to make pictures and video's of the trimmed buds 😅 End result #1: 37 Grams of dried buds. 35.84 Grams of dried trim and very small buds, into the freezer. I would describe pheno 1 as normal frosty, almost stone like buds, smells chemical with hints of dish soap (i really like it!) I cant describe the taste but it was very tasty out of the box, before the cure, very sad i only had 37 grams of it haha. End result #2: Around 70 grams of dried buds. 43.23 Grams of dried trim and small buds, into the freezer for bubble hash. I would describe pheno 2 as very frosty buds, little bit fluffy, smells very gassy, with a nice sour taste after curing a couple of months. Very interesting strain, i will definitely grow it again! I have some trim and small buds saved up from different strains and i will be posting a diary of the full process making hash of them! If you are interested in me making bubble hash feel free to follow me as i will make some in the next month, this way you keep notified!

Had to use bricks to raise the height of the structure. Sapphire OG on the right. Candy Gas in the middle. And the second Sapphire OG and Candy Gas share the square on the left, the tallest of the zones.

Ci sono più di trenta gradi di temperatura ormai e la notte la temperatura non è più fresca. Poco da dire su queste varietà impeccabili e bellissime e molto abbondanti. Ogni varietà autofiorente della dutchfemseeds è una vera soddisfazione, continuano a riempirsi tutte di infiorescenze appiccicose e profumate e alcune colorate. Continuano a produrre resina e le infiorescenze si stanno gonfiando e indurendo molto. Alcune superano il metro e cinquanta centimetri di altezza, la maggioranza sono più di un metro e molto diramate e piene di infiorescenze. Se continuano così tra un paio di settimane iniziamo a raccogliere le più mature! Resistono molto agli afidi infatti sono meno presenti visto che la resina appiccicosa inizia a dare fastidio a tutti i parassiti quindi è un bene! Un abbraccio a tutti forza Dutchfem

Week 12 Update — Gorilla Zkittlez Auto (FastBuds) Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Medium: Scientetics Coco Stage: Late Flower / Ripening Status: Days from harvest ⸻ Overall Plant Status Week 12 marks the final stretch before harvest. Nutrient uptake has noticeably slowed, which is expected at this stage as the plant shifts energy away from vegetative processes and into final resin and terpene development. Trichomes are almost entirely cloudy, with harvest planned once approximately 15–20% amber is reached. Natural senescence has begun, with leaf fade becoming visible. Buds are fully formed, swollen, and resin production appears to be peaking. ⸻ Feed & Maintenance Log (Final Week) 12/6 — Late Flower Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.0 | 600 ppm • 4 ml Green Sensation • 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom • 18 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photo+ • ½ tsp Recharge Purpose at this stage: • Green Sensation: Low-dose PK and carbohydrate source to support final bud density and resin production without pushing excess nutrients. • Silicium Bloom: Maintains cell wall strength and stress resistance late into flower. • Coco B: Provides potassium-heavy nutrition to support terpene production and final swelling. • Pure Zym: Breaks down dead root matter, keeping the root zone clean as uptake slows. • Ruby Fulvic: Improves micronutrient transport and overall nutrient efficiency. • Photo+: Enhances photosynthesis efficiency during peak resin production. • Recharge: Supports microbial life to keep nutrient availability high despite reduced feeding. ⸻ 12/7 — Maintenance & Reset • Mild defoliation • Reservoir cleaned and remaining solution dumped Fresh mix: 1 gal RO | pH 6.1 | 500 ppm • 2 ml Green Sensation • 14 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Reduced EC to match slowing uptake. • Focused on potassium, enzyme activity, and nutrient mobility rather than growth. ⸻ 12/8 — Observation • Senescence becoming visible • Lower leaves beginning to fade naturally This is a healthy sign of nutrient drawdown and internal remobilization late in flower. ⸻ 12/9 — Reduced Uptake Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.2 | 366 ppm • 2 ml Green Sensation • 12 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Further reduction in nutrient strength to avoid salt buildup. • Supporting resin maturation rather than biomass growth. ⸻ 12/11 — Ripening Additives 1 gal RO | pH & ppm not measured • 10 ml Winter Frost • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Winter Frost: Signals the plant to finish strong by accelerating ripening, resin production, and terpene expression. • Car-Bou-Naria: Provides readily available carbohydrates to fuel final metabolic processes without adding nitrogen. • Ruby Fulvic: Maintains nutrient mobility even with minimal feeding. ⸻ 12/12 — Final Low-EC Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.0 | 255 ppm • 10 ml Winter Frost • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 4 ml Pure Zym Purpose at this stage: • Extremely light feeding to support ripening while allowing the plant to finish clean. • Encourages full terpene and cannabinoid expression without pushing nutrients. ⸻ Harvest Outlook • Trichomes: Nearly 100% cloudy • Target harvest: 15–20% amber • Plant is in full ripening mode with minimal nutrient demand • Senescence progressing naturally This run is finishing exactly how a dialed-in coco grow should — controlled fade, clean root zone, and intentional nutrient tapering leading into harvest.

Day 55: I have finally moved the girls inside the tent :) On 1 of the 2 girls I see some brown spots, and some yellowing and are thinking something is wrong here? I think it might be a Mag + Calcium Deficiency and I think I should up the PH a bit, but what du you guys think? The other girl looks healthy and fine, although I see some light-green color, but not too much. It might be a beginning of what the other girl is suffering from. I have not measured my run-off water for some time, as I am having trouble with my meter, and are falling back to the color-tester (drops) which are far from accurate. I also got my reverse osmosis system, and I now get 0.08 EC water. My water was 0.9 EC before so I'm happy with that. Also the PH has dropped from 8.5+ to around 7.0-7.5 so I think I am able to make a more stable PH change with acetic acid Thank you for all the answers!. I am now going for ph 6-6.5, and I have also increased the nutrients I use, as I am now using RO water. I am also setting up my lamp from Mars Hydro today, pictures follows tomorrow

RS11 x Banana OG - Barney's Farm x Doja Day 62 - watered with 2L of RO tap water with nutrients, ph'd to 6.3. She has started to stretch significantly and is approaching bloom - I'd say by the end of this week, her flower will start to show, as she has now been on a 12 hour light schedule for just over a week. I've removed a couple of nodes from her as well as a stem that wasn't progressing as well as the others.

I keep increasing the light and she seems to enjoy it, growing new bud sides and leaves everyday. Defoliation continues. I can’t go below 25-26 Celcius due to increased light though. She has also been moved to back middle.

Day 51 - Really bushing out and getting wider. Some more hairs are visible, yet no real bud production yet. Roots are long and healthy looking. Still going strong with the same nutrient mixture. Day 53 - Topped up water today and had a casualty unfortunately. 😕 Day 56 - Switched lights to 12-12 to try and induce the flowering process on day 54. Today they are looking like they have more hairs coming along. Also topped up water again. Plants are still growing very fast. And getting bigger and bigger.

Bueno, empezamos por el final familia. Gorilla girl, me parece una cepa BRU-TAL , ya partiendo de esa base, mi error, creo que e cometido , es poner estos ejemplares en macetas de 5L, que tonto... mínimo recomendado 7L y a ser posible 11L Otro error fue no dejarlas una semana más. pero, escasez. (intentaremos curarla un par de semanas). Cepa con flores muy compactas, hay bastante separación entre nudos pero compensa las flores de verdad. Sabor muy dulzón a mi me recuerda a melón , es un pepino recomendado para amantes de la hierba que llevan tiempo en esto, un colocón muy fuerte, ahora mismo estoy bajo los efectos de esta vaina, aseguro que con cada frase, leo varias veces y detenidamente por que válgame.

finally managed to heat the tent everything is good. i use 240 watt for bottom heating and 300 watt for blowing hot air inside. it's not a lot but lights spend much less.

Week 5 of flower and stretch has been excessive in these F1 testers. Buds have been slow to develop and supercroppibg of 3 tops was necessary to maintain canopy consistency. The hollow stems are a good sign of things to come but I will say I was hoping for much better bud development. Perhaps unrealistic with this sativa dominant cross but still. I guess as long as the buds are fire, we’re prepared to deal with less overall yield. The system continues to perform admirably. It’s one major drawback is having to recirculate through an additional drainage pump. The cheap bilge pump we wired into the tray failed and flooded out a portion of the basement - my fault really as I knew the pump was crap and should’ve changed it earlier. Still can’t get past how much more simplistic a gravity dependent system is but despite that - I have no complaints about this equipment and it will get regular use regardless of any future set up changes. Alls good in da hood y’all👌🤟 Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.

The girls are starting there beautiful fade! # 3 is much further along than #2 by a week. Im starting to think the reason is # 2 Has so much more room in her pot. And for number 3 has about half because she’s sharing a container. Could be genetics too. Today I gave them there last feed. # 2 got 1/2 gallon of water with neptunes harvest, recharge and build a bloom. And # got a full gallon with the same inputs. #3 was definitely to dry In the medium. The top was completely dry underneath the plastic cover. Today is day 47 of flower I’ll try and remember to take some tricomb shots
