We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent.
I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother.

Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag.
Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive.
I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation.

Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter.
Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet.

We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close.
Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones.
She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke.
I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead.
The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive.
