Hey everyone :-) This week a lot has happened 🤗🍀. The 5 that are already in the 12/12 cycle explode day after day 😍😅. All others have been repotted, and will remain in the vegi phase for 1-2 weeks. Otherwise there is not much to say 😃. I wish you all a good start into the week, let it grow and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀🌱

Week six! Bunny is stretching like crazy, I don't think she likes the mylar sheeting privacy shield I have put around the greenhouse. I will have to replace this with some form of whitewash. Day 37 - Photographed and fertigated 5l each. Day 39 - Photographed. Bunny seem to have realised she has more space now and is stretching out in all directions, but mostly UP! Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow. Check them out at www.staubingenetics.com

Day 59: There is little left to my first harvest in 2019. As buds continue to swell and resin starts to see some orange pistil. I think that in order to complete the cycle of these six Gorillas, there are only a couple of weeks to get to the standard eleven weeks. The smell of the resin is very strong and I have to ventilate the room several times during the day. Given the approach of the first harvest I put some other seeds in the soil. 😄 P.S. If you want to listen to some music while reading the posts on this fantastic site I'm creating a musical playlist with my rework dedicated to ganja, of course both listening and downloading are free 😉 This is the link: https://www.orfium.com/playlist/767069/420-ganjatimemusic-c4in0/ As I wrote earlier I had to speed up the times of the first harvest because this Saturday is my birthday. I chose one of the predominantly indica plants for the first taste. This plant has received only water for the last five days instead of the usual 10/12 and although I would have to wait another 10/15 days before it is completely dry, this Saturday I will break some buds smaller and I will smoke it 😋 Once the first plant has dried, and the crop is tasted, I will add more data such as flavor and real definitive weight. For the remaining five plants I will follow all my standards without breaking basic rules and I will make a progressive crop. For the 2 plants that showed a photoperiodic predominance, I will open a separate diary once the harvest is over. P.S. I posted some sexy photos to take part in the Naked Buds contest. The girl portrayed in the pictures is called Laura and is a friend of mine who likes to smoke, pics are from webcam because she lives in other country by now. Although right now I'm single, like all men I have lots of videos and photos in the company of girls and given the fact that I am a chronic marijuana smoker in many of these it often appears as a joint or a bong. For the moment I do not intend to share anything without having first received the consent of the girls portrayed, I'm not a piece of shit. My friend sent me the photos knowing that I would share them, she saw them and wrote to me that I will send others in the future. For Laura: Thank you baby! 😘 Day 66: As written above I must hasten the times and to do so I have to break some rules for perfect cultivation. After choosing and cutting the smaller plant and having made it stand upside down in the shade for two days I dissected all the buds and put them to dry in my cage. At a first estimate I should have gotten between fifty and seventy grams of buds, I will be more precise in a couple of days. With the smaller buds and sugar leaves I will subject them to decarbosillation and I will make some good butter 😋 while with the small branches covered with trichomes I want to flavor some bottles of vodka, I put aside even the largest leaves and branches and when I have also dried out the waste from the next crops I'll do a bit 'of ice-olator hashish using the bubble bags system...I thank everyone and I apologize for my approximate English and any errors, but as you may have already guessed it is not my language. March 10, Day 69: Final taste and effect ratio for the first plant. The exact weight of dried buds, excluding the wads, sugar leaves and small branches is 58 grams. Even having pushed all the final procedures to the limit, the product is fantastic. No chemical taste despite the short flushing. Yesterday was my birthday and I got to smoke a lot (about 45 grams) in the company of twenty friends, everyone appreciated the taste and power of the effect perhaps amplified by some beer, but still very strong. No one has coughed, the smoke goes down smooth and clean and the effect is practically immediate. The terpenes of limonene and pinene dominate every flavor. The aftertaste is fresh and sweet and smoking a lot at the end the limonene prevails. For a final consideration on the edible taste I will have to wait to have made some butter to make biscuits or brownies. As I wrote the effect is very strong, salt immediately and at the beginning seems energizing, but shortly after passing the joint hits you with a baseball bat to the back of the neck 😵 After the fifth joint you are now on a psychedelic journey and you will continue to laugh for hours. At the moment I do not have a THC analyzer (object I want to buy in the future) but based on my personal experience I think it is well over 20%. Stimulates appetite, thirst (excellent if combined with a double malt blond beer) and can be used to effectively fight insomnia. 👊

They look great. They were thirsty this week. Ph is still lower and PPM higher on this one than the White Widow, and this one is bigger. I think it likes the spot right under the light. That air pump hose is also tighter so it probably has better aeration as well.

Last little watering for another week or less Then we pullllllllllllll :) Small foliage cut here again … all big fan leaves trimmed just about.

Molto bene le ragazze si stanno ingrassando rapidamente e mangiano bene😈, sono congelate😁

First auto run! Fastbuds , Seedsman & Victory seeds! Never done autos before so excited to see how this goes! Day 5 and 2 of the NHL’s from Victory seeds still hasn’t popped😫😬

08/30 - DAY 36 - Top watered w/ beneficial bacteria and refilled Jane’s reservoir. - Lowered humidity to ~63% 09/01 - DAY 38 - Refilled Mo. Drinking a gallon a day from the reservoir. Mushrooms growing in Mo’s EarthBox. 09/03 - DAY 40 - Another big defoliation on Jane. - Bent over a few over achieving colas on Mo. At canopy roughly ~500PPFD. 09/04 - DAY 41 - Girls are super happy. Trichomes coming in everywhere on Mo and slowly coming in Jane.

Un altra settimana è passata senza problemi...grazie alla mia perseveranza nel curarla e debellare i ragnetti Rossi che bastardelli mi sono arrivati anche dentro al box... sicuramente c'è li ho portati io involontariamente quando sono andato a vedere delle piante di un amico che erano impregnate di ragnetti e ragnatele sui fiori....vabbè ora devo sbattermi un po' più ma non lascerò che mi rovinino la mia terapia 💪👍🙏🕉️🙏... Boom Shiva Shankar 🕉️ belle le mie coccinelle 🐞 che mi tengono pulita la mia terapia

end of week 4 I have finished heavy defoliations, now just plucking one or two loose fans here and there. Stretch has totally stopped (finally whew!) and stacking has really begun on the colas. lots of new pistils at bud sights, very few but early signs of some orange pistils, but majority still all white. the smell has gotten outrageous. Nemo smells literally like a blueberry patch! after I defoliate her my hands smell like i was smashing blueberries all day long! V has a more distinct lemon scent, with undertones of mint, basil and spicey peppers. Occasionally the mix smells like a gasey pinesol, but I'm not sure which one the petrol smell is coming from, I'm guessing V, she's a unique boquet for sure! I am not sure if it is heavy 16 full line, or because I have been religious about getting lots of compost tea feeds, but I've NEVER had a run smell so strong, and so distinct this early! I'm stoked to watch these buds fatten up!

FORBIDDEN 🚫 RUNTZ by FASTBUDS WEEK #14 overall Week #13 Veg This week she's still in veg not sure why she hasn't started to flower yet 😕 Hopefully she starts to flower shortly. Stay Growing!! Fastbuds FORBIDDEN 🚫 RUNTZ

The week was partly sunny and partly rainy and our plants had to be canopied on the balcony nearly every day. Rare sunny hours. Humidity is mostly ok, but I‘m checking now very regular if the plant need to be harvested. The flowers are covered in trichomes, pistils got brown on the upper flowers, the larger fan leaves loose their color and I could spot first amber. But I want to wait as long as possible. Pure rainwater in the morning and in the evening. Flushing first time with a good drainage. Trichome fotos at the end :)

Okay so after 48 hours instead of 24 of darkness. These ladies were begging to be chopped with how much more intense the smell got. Cheesy , sweet , skunky , and a floral incense kind of scent. Made lots of finger hash just getting them off the plants , already smoked. I’m about 75% done with chopping all the major tops. This time I decided to cut off the branches and dry on an eight tier 24” diameter rack off Amazon. All 8 tiers are full with gorgeous top colas. I’m drooling. Can’t believe just how much bud this is turning out to be. They are dense , and oozing. Not going to get a wet weight because this is just too much. But holding the rack it’s like 20 lbs or more. My scales don’t go that high. Lol. Gotta say it, I think my buds look 10 times better than the advertisement photos g13 lab’s mozzarella. My 2 cents and honest opinion. Please do give me your opinions. I know I didn’t show the full grow because life gets busy. My next grow I want to control the humidity and heat levels a bit better. Or just humidity and run co2 to withstand higher temps. I have every angle of the grow under my tips now. It feels amazing to have this kind of harvest after the dedication these plants received. I’m Convinced…. rdwc with a water chiller , is by far the best way to do hydro. When it’s dry I’ll add the final weights. My nutrient reg is this. Jacks 321 , botanic are cal mag plus, hydroguard,PK booster is flower fuel(purple can off Amazon) and unsulfured molasses. If you don’t have an ability to keep water at 70 degrees then only use jacks hydroguard and cal mag. You’ll still do well but that molasses , that sauce is the boss.

Day 100 | 03/04/2022:💧 I am back from my holiday today but I will only be able to harvest them at the end of the week, so I watered them today. but with a reduced 1L each because I still want them to be more on the dry side when I am taking them off Day 105 | 08/04/2022: Today was harvest day and the girls look sooooo dry and yellow omg.. 😅 Maybe that 1L was not enough, but still it's better that they are on the dry side. They just all went so yellow in the last few weeks, obviously they werent getting any nutrients but also I harvested them a bit late

Beginning of week 13 was harvest time! Checking the trichomes on their main buds led to the decision to harvest them. Almost all of them had already milky looking heads and some of them even turned amber. Their incredibly sour smell was barely tolerable as well. Made the decision to harvest them all at once, so the grow room can be turned into a drying room for them. Since this is considered an experiment after all, we wanted to try out wet trimming as well to compare it to the dry trim we're used to. So considering #3 had the least amount of effort due to the low amount of head buds overall, we choose that one to be wet trimmed. It surely was a very sticky and still time-consuming activity, but we're pretty happy with the result. Can't wait to see and taste them when they're finally ready, dried properly and cured a bit! This is plant #2. She still remained my absolute favorite one of them, having the biggest and most beautiful looking main buds. Would've expected a bigger stretch at the start of flowering though, so her branches were still growing pretty close to each other, which isn't that bad but also wasn't really the desired look overall. Plant #2 is one of the dry trim ones. Just made sure to remove the biggest leaves that could prevent a good airflow between the buds when they're hung up.

Got 22 gs off her in the end had to try a bit but was still in need of abit of a cure

End of week 4, beginning of week 5. This will be my second complete grow in a RDWC system. I have just over 18 months experience in growing. For the first year I had a few plants that I grew whilst doing my homework. I'm still applying my learning's but I think the pictures are enough for me to claim I've done pretty well completely on my own. Still undecided in defoliating but that top shot I have is a pretty damning photo. My idea is to let the plant choose by removing sicker leaves in there that I can pull off easily or feel damp and soft from humidity. In saying that...it's been healthy all through atm. I think the lights below really help in keeping the humidity down a little and also negating the shade response from how thick it is. Anyway, still experimenting, lots to learn.

Looking good
