OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Harvest week! Awesome smell! Coco wins big time vs the peat! Just hoping that there are not too many seeds :)

This grow was all about learning the process of hydroponics. Needles to say It is not as easy as it looks and takes a lot of time to set up and so... But along the way with help from several growmies it came to a unexpected result. 227 gram dry weight of good quality cannabis. This result ,I'm very happy ,has so much room for improvement that I can't wait for the next grow. I like to thank Royal Queen Seeds for sending me these awesome genetics, I suspect this is a big part of the result, the freebies and a lot of weed. Ofcourse I couldn't wait for the cure and started smoking. Man this stuff is sticky!! The smell is already hard to resist. The taste could be better,no cure yet, Very fresh but you smell and taste the potential. Being a long time haze smoker the effect is not exactly my thing but at night after dinner with a cup of coffee that's more what this is. Being a older person the hardest part of this contest is this damn diarie. Still find it difficult to find my ways. How many times I have to do this over 😤 I will grow this stuff again , never was a big fan of autoflowers but this outcome made me a believer. The starting plugs that came with these seeds are from now on a absolute must have! You see the difference . I cleaned the Aquafarm and it's ready for the other strain "Legendary OG Punch", that's now inside the growplug. Unfortunately to late for a full grow to be in competition but will make a diarie never the less.

I’ll update this journal with photos from earlier weeks soon..

Honestly this plant is my most exciting one!!! She’s a stunner and sticky and I just love her!!! She’s been super easy to grow and no signs of anything going wrong!!

She is growing healthy and strong... she already begins to create buds ... she feeds only with organic products...

Diamond Belle, here we are doing good and flourishing. They took well to the nutrients and transplanting. Im impressed 👏 good work. Im pretty sure these 3 are ladies so we are in for a treat. How ever we will surly find out with in the next coming weeks. Im thankful to be here. Happy growing yall.

Week 10 pics and vids.

I'm really excited for her to finish..this is slowly becoming my favorite strain.. it's sativa dom but feels like a knock out indica (my ideal smoke)

Hi guys, Welcome back to Queen Peaky's Grasslands Second week of rinsing to remove all residues from the soil....my god...have you seen what infinite joy these buds are?Tell me what you want .... but when you manage to make a phenotype of these qualities ... there is no comparison with an autoflowering

Second topping!

Lots of nice growth this week, though not as much as the Skunk. Added another 2l bottle of sugar/water/brewers yeast to hang over her, like I did with the Skunk. Hopefully it's enough extra C02 to fatten her up a bit. Very sticky but not quiet as loud smelling as the Skunk, also no signs of senescence on her yet but some of the thinner branches are buckling so I had to tie them up. Mites are going ape shit in the soil, video is above. If you grow organic and see these in your soil, it's a good thing as they eat baddies and help to break down nutrients. Fungus gnats are very much under control, I see a few every now and again but the soil microbes/mites keep them at bay.

Nach dem Toppen hat sich die Pflanze schnell erholt und zeigt kräftiges, buschiges Wachstum. Die Seitentriebe entwickeln sich gleichmäßig, und das Blätterwerk ist dicht und gesund. Keine Anzeichen von Stress oder Mangel — das organische Setup scheint perfekt abgestimmt. Die Pflanze nimmt sichtbar an Volumen zu, bleibt dabei aber kompakt. --- 🌿 Pflege & Maßnahmen Nach dem Toppen Orgatrex + Bactrex beibehalten, um die Wurzelaktivität zu fördern. Gießmenge leicht erhöht, da der Wasserverbrauch steigt. Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55–60 %, Temperatur: um 25 °C. Lichtabstand konstant gehalten, um ein gleichmäßiges Wachstum zu fördern.

Day 15 - 1.3L water Plant #3 is taller and with less ramifications than her sisters, i really dont know if its because of the soil, or just genetics.. (Since its my first grow, i wont do LST or anything, just whatch them grow and tucking leaves under) Day 18 - 1.5L water + 0.7 rootfast + 0.8 terra leaves (for BB, #1 and #3) and 0.5 rootfast + 0.8 NRG Growth-C (for #2) Just to campare diferent nutes 😁 The sunglasses in the video are really amazing, always protect your eyes 😎 (Method Seven Operator HPS+) Day 20 - 1.5L water

She looks very healthy and happy, she's fatting those flowers, she's very sticky, wonderful resin production and very very sweet aromas, just like her sisters, let's see how she turns out. I love her so far! 😍🤤❄️

Mid week last week I cut down the inferior PGC. I needed some and it looked done and wasn’t responding to water really. Anyway the buds looked good and get me kinda high. About 1oz smokable buds. This was in 2 gal so not very big. Curing will help. I pressed some into rosin at about day 6 of drying and turned out pretty well. The plant still alive is much better imo and buds should be fire , prob won’t press it

7/5: All three plants are over a foot tall now. Really taking off.👍 I think I'll top all 3 of them tomorrow and try rooting the tops.
