August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Diary Day 36 Plant was watered with nutrients in these concentrations: -    FloraSeries Gro-->1.2 mL/L -    FloraSeries Micro-->1.2 mL/L -    Flore Series Bloom-->1.2 mL/L PPM ~set to 600 Day 37 Some calmag issues could be seen on lower leaves. Plant was watered with the same nutrient solution as day 36. Fifth node is already growing so I will be topping soon. Day 38 Plant was watered with the same nutrient solition as previous days. PPM measure was around 540. Day 40 Plant was watered with the same nutrient solution as previous days. PPM measure was 720 so i had to dilute it to 550. Day 41 Plant was secured to a stick because of strong winds. I let the soil dry a little bit too much this day but nothing sirious. Plant was fed with the same nutrient solution as previous days these week. Plant is happy but the lower leaves are still browning a little bit. Weather report: Day 36 Weather is still moody so plant was left insidr Day 37-38 Weather is sunny, plant was moved outside. Day temperatures were 24 °C during day and 18 °C during night Day 39-42 These days were a lot better than usual. It was sunny, day temperatures were around 30 °C. That's all for this week.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Harvest day 74 since time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey everyone Finally it was time for the lady to be harvested :-). The buds smell very tasty and look very good so I'm really excited. The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber. As always, it came to the darkroom 48 hours before harvest :-). There it will now remain after harvesting at 62% humidity for 8-12 days before it is put into the jars for fermentation with 62% boveda packs :-). As usual, the last update will come after the fermentation. Until then, I wish you all the best and stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Strain at : https://www.zamnesia.com/de/4532-zamnesia-seeds-gorilla-glue-feminisiert.html Type: Gorilla Glue ☝️🏼 Genetics: Chem's Sister x Chocolate Diesel 50% Sativa/50% Indica 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

The ladies are growing fine and faster. Fertigating till run-off. Light increased at 50%

Oggi 7 aprile 3 giorno di fioritura, 30 giorni di veg per la mia Mary cresciuta forte e vigorosa senza carenze. Fine settimana penso in una defogliazione. Cosa ne pensate ?

Day 18: The canopy is developping nice and evenly. I wonder how much mire they will stretch. I think that ill do some defoliation at the beginning of week 4 Day 20: Today I did a big defoliation right before the third flowering week ends. It was a tough job reaching all the leaves in the back because I cant move the plants.😅 But we made it! Now the light can reach much further down the plants for better/bigger buds and better aeration.

Slacked on posting the last few weeks. Had made some mistakes earlier as well. Luckily seems like things got back on track?

Week 7. I adjusted the watering system so that instead of 3 minutes twice a day, it now turns on at 5 hour intervals during the lights on period. So the first watering occurs at 8 am when the lights come on, then again at 1pm, 6pm and 11pm.* This turned out to produce too much runoff after the first day. So I adjusted it down to 1 minute for each fertigation, still at the 5 hour intervals 4 times a day. I started seeing trichomes on some of the buds. They are still very early in their development, but I can see some sugar leaves starting to get frosty. The smell, which is sweet and green, has become more prominent when the tent is open, but not overwhelming by any means.

Update of harvest

Welcome to my beautiful Exotic Garden 💚 I'm on week 12, almost all my babys are ready for the harvest, I've been away, long time without posting anything, sorry about that, thanks for the support and all those comments and positive messages, I love this family, in the coming days will continue posting content and updates, the whole grow was amazing, fully organic with all my love, see you soon

The overall grow was very easy and no issues! I will grow this strain again in the future! My biggest recommendation with this plant is to top it even though it’s an auto I topped it and I did lst! Both were needed to get the results that I got with floraflex! If you know it’s gonna be a tall strain based off the breeder info and you know the genetics are good then top it and lst!!!

Like my plants👌

Shout out to Barney’s, freaking love their genetics! Harvest will be plentiful of super quality bud. Something I this far have only achieved with their genetics.

3/20/2023 - Day 22 Flower: So far the plants look like they handled the big defoliation just fine. Nice and healthy and they are all preying. Seeing the first signs of some tricomes. 3/22/2023 - Day 24 Flower: watered 4 gallons of water at at a 6.6 ph mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja as a wetting agent, Rootwise Enzyme Elixer, and Bio-Phos, BuildASoil Big 6, BuildABloom, Coconut Powder, Pure Protein Dry, Fermented Comfrey and Fermented Peach. Not much to report. Plan to keep the plants on 12/12 for one more week, then drop to 11 hours on and 13 hours off for the final weeks of flower. 3/26/2023: watered 4 gallons mixed with ThermX-70, BuildABloom, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, coconut powder, and Yah-Whey Thrive. Went lighter on the nutrients today. Figured I've gone heavy enough for a while, so a lighter feeding couldn't hurt. Overall, the frost is coming on and the flowers are starting to add some weight. Other than the leaf curl issue from a couple weeks ago, everything else continues to go smoothly.

Hello to all the growers. Got an amazing gift, RQS Growing Pack for the contest - "Grow Cannabis – Best New Year’s resolution". Including two awesome strains: Shogun and Tripple G. Thanks to the whole RQS team, and Pol from RQS. Decided to start with 3G this time, hope will be interesting grow.

Going to give her just water for a week or 2 now she seems like she’s done enough now

she's about ready to enter the flowering phase. pistils are coming out and I'm quite happy with the canopy so far. Might improve it this week.

Really starting to branch out and fill in nicely, loads of white hairs appearing. Looking good :)

Brothers and sisters farmers. My job here is over! the only one and only reason why I prolonged the late release of the end-growth report is just because this plant really deserves !!!!! Strain super super super fantastic !!! I was really struck by everything that is what these powerful super beans have. From growth to smoked! 10/10 Beautiful frosty and rocky nuggets .... mmh just like Peaky His odor is ..... amazing .... and the gems inside show purple nuances. I will still update you on the smoke of these magnificent dolls. Stay on the piece Greetings to all of you, fantastic Weed friends Happy and abundant harvesters

Headies is smelling dank! --- RH levels are getting a bit dry, but are okay. --- Wow buds are frosty with trichomes! --- With 5 days until trim day, getting stoked! - [23:04]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 47% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 55% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 46% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [23:11]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking healthy in the veg garden! --- Mothers are getting bushy and tall! --- Super-cropped and trained the taller branches down to lower the canopy. --- Plan to take tissue culture cuttings tomorrow so glad there are plenty of tops to choose. Still deciding on which mother to preserve next. --- Clones in the propagation tray look healthy! --- The original Garlic Budder #2 clone needs watering. - [23:26]: Here is the starting initial watering range: ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 256.4g → 300.2g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- Took the starting weight before watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » 258.9g --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted her straw mulch with RO water. --- Tried to keep the top growth dry. --- Misted 5-10 sprays. Waited a few seconds, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process until the cup weighted at least 300g. --- There was no runoff. - [23:40]: Took the saturated weight after watering, ------ Garlic Budder OG#2 » [000.0]g --- Marked the watering date on the side of the cup. Also marked the saturated weight on the back. --- Placed her back into the tent. - [23:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 06 - Saturday - 10/18/25 - Total Days: 188 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 76.8°F [24.9°C] - Humidity: 60.3% - VPD: 1.25 kPa - Soil %: [47, 34, 35, 55, 44, 44, 44, 47] ----------------------------------- - [15:19]: Decided to decrease the VPD level a bit. --- Within the AC Infinity App, --- Changed the schedule name from 'Flower [12/12]' to 'Drying [0/24].' Oops. --- For the Main Tent [4x4] controller, --- Adjusted the 'Drying [0/24]' Schedule for the exhaust fan. ------ Decreased the VPD LOW trigger value from 1.5kPa to 1.4kPa --- Adjusted the 'Drying [0/24]' Schedule for the humidifier. ------ Decreased the VPD target value from 1.5kPa to 1.4kPa --- This should increase the relative humidity a bit and will maintain a 60-65% range - [16:59]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Wow the veg garden is raging with healthy growth! --- Even with the lower veg temps, growth has been perky and bushy! --- The TKO mother has been looking a bit on the purple-side, but I plan to increase the temps back after trim day. - [17:23]: Okay! Time to continue the tissue culture journey! --- Checked on the sterilized media, water, and tools. --- Ooo yea! The growth media in the glass jars have solidified nicely! --- The media in the bottles also look great! Found only one that did not gel properly. --- Hmm. The sterile water bottles are not looking sterile. Unlike the first batch (using distilled water), each RO bottle had tiny white particles floating in the water. --- I think this was due to the water source. The RO water used was from the plant reservoir. For the next sterilization, will try using water straight from the tap. Will discard the entire batch and try again later. - [17:34]: Anyways! Time to cut and sterilize another batch of explant cuttings. --- Using the similar protocols as last time, but with a few changes. --- Instead of distilled, using reverse-osmosis (RO) water. --- Also simplifying the workflow and will not be using the sterile water. --- Only taking cuttings from one cultivar. --- Today, attempting to preserve Heady OG BX1 #1 --- Unlike the last attempt, going to be cutting apical nodes and will leave all leaf growth on. --- Last attempt was more for monsteras and not cannabis. - [17:35]: Made sure the lung room's oscillating fan was OFF during the entire process. --- Put on a fresh pair of nitrile gloves. --- Okay! Let's grow Ensign! - [17:47]: Filled a glass beaker with 180mL of RO water. --- Using a micro-pipette, ------ Added 20mL of Clorox bleach --- Mixed the solution. - [17:52]: Poured the bleach solution into a glass mason jar. ------ Added 1 drop of Dawn dish soap. --- Dropped a magnetic mixing rod into the jar before setting it onto the magnetic stirrer. --- Turned the unit ON and set it to a low setting. --- Placed a polypropylene lid loosely on. - [18:02]: Rinsed and filled the glass beaker with 70% isopropyl alcohol. --- Filled another glass beaker with RO water before adding a drop of Dawn dish soap. Mixed the solution. --- Okay! Time to take the cuttings! --- Using a clean pair of trimmers, - [18:09]: Gently cut two clone cuttings from the Heady OG BX1 #1 mother. --- Stripped each cutting down to 2-inch apical nodes making sure to leave about 0.5 inch of stem growth for planting. ------ Prepared a total of 2 nodal cuttings. --- Dropped the nodal cuttings into the cup of soapy water. --- Swirled the cuttings in the soapy water for a bit. --- Opened the jar containing the 10% bleach solution. --- Using clean tweezers, --- Took each cutting out of the RO water and carefully submerged it into the beaker of 70% isopropyl alcohol for about 30 seconds. --- Then transferred the cutting from the isopropyl alcohol straight into the jar of bleach solution. --- Once both cuttings were in the jar, sealed the top with the polypropylene lid. - [18:23]: Flipped and set the entire bleach jar upside down onto the magnetic stirrer. --- Started using the magnetic stirrer. --- But the cuttings were getting hit by the bar so ended up turning the unit OFF. --- Instead, made sure to swirled the bottle every few minutes to agitate the cuttings. --- For a proper sterilization, the cuttings should be agitated in the hypochlorite (bleach) solution for at least 20 minutes. --- While waiting for the explants to sterilize, prepped the still air box. - [18:39]: Unfolded and placed a Safloga still-air box onto my desk. --- Thoroughly misted the inside of the air box with 70% isopropyl alcohol making sure to coat the entire chamber. --- Then isopropyl misted and placed the following items inside of the still air box, ------ x1 » Jar of Establishment Media ------ x1 » Bottle of Establishment Media ------ x1 » Glass-Bead Sterilizer ------ x1 » Roll of Plastic Wrap [pre-cut] ------ x1 » Sterilization Bag Containing: --------- x3 » Stainless Steel Forceps --------- x3 » Stainless Steel Scissors --- Made sure to fully coat the outside of the tool bag and each of the containers with 70% alcohol. --- The bag had a torn corner (Oops), so made sure to spray the inside with a few mists of isopropyl alcohol. --- For the glass-bead sterilizer, ------ Wiped the entire unit with isopropyl alcohol. ------ Before filling the unit with the included beads, misted the heating chamber with a spray of isopropyl alcohol. ------ Misted the glass beads again with a spray of isopropyl alcohol. --- Set the cleaned glass-bead sterilizer into the still air box. - [19:02]: Still air box fully prepped for explants! --- Okay! Explant nodal sterilization complete! --- While still wearing gloves, --- Misted the outside of the explant jar with 70% isopropyl alcohol before placing it into the still-air box. --- Turned the glass-bead sterilizer ON. --- Made sure to re-seal the chamber. - [19:05]: Okay! Finally time to start the tissue culture transplant! --- Let's go Ensign! --- Sprayed my gloved hands with 70% isopropyl alcohol (also put on a pair of cloth arm sleeves), --- Placed my hands through the arm holes and into the still air box to begin the process. --- Started by laying out my initial workspace: ------ » Far Left Quadrant » Jar of Sterile Establishment Media ------ » Far Center » Bottle of Sterile Establishment Media ------ » Far Right Quadrant » Glass-Bead Sterilizer ------ » Mid Center » Bleach Jar with Explant Cuttings [Main Workspace] ------ » Near Left Quadrant » Empty [Trash Area] ------ » Near Right Quadrant » Bag of Sterile Tools & Roll of Plastic Wrap --- Opened the bag of tools and placed the forceps and scissors into the pre-heated glass-bead sterilizer. --- Set the bag in the trash area (near left quadrant). --- Loosened the lids of both containers of sterile media but did not remove the lids. The lids were resting on top and could easily be lifted. --- Also took lid off of the bleach jar and gently set it on the table. --- Took the jar of sterile media and set it in the center of my workspace (to the right of the bleach jar). --- Using my left hand, took a set of scissors from the glass-bead sterilizer and gently cut the bottom of the first cutting. --- Once the bottom cut was made, placed the scissors back into the glass-bead sterilizer. --- Using my left hand, lifted the lid off of the jar of sterile media and inserted the trimmed end of the cutting straight into the growth media (using my right hand). --- Covered the jar with the lid and placed the forceps back into the glass-bead sterilizer. --- Tighten the lid of the jar and set it aside. ------ [ » REPEATED THE ABOVE PROCESS FOR THE BOTTLE OF GROWTH MEDIA « ] --- Once the last cutting was transferred from the bleach jar into the sterile media, --- Turned the glass-bead sterilizer OFF. --- Cleaned up my workplace and placed the scrap stem tips and bleach jar out of the way (near left quadrant). - [19:28]: Wrapped the lid of each explant container with plastic wrap before setting it in the center of the workspace. --- Explant transplant completed! - [19:59]: Using a label printer (Brother DT410), made a set of labels for each container: ------ Heady OG BX1 #1 | 04.24.25 | Photo | Reg ------ Formula: v0001 | ExBatch: 0002 | Lot: 01 | Pod: 01 ------ Establishment Media | Sealed On: 10/18/25 --- Opened the still air box. --- Then one container at a time, took an explant out and wrapped the lid with a label. --- Set the labeled containers onto the propagation tray (in the 3x3 veg tent). - [20:07]: Done! ------ The explants are around 37 μmol/m²/s which gives a DLI of 2.40 mol/m²/d under an 18/6 light cycle. --- Will check daily for contamination. --- Ca-Caw!! Ahh yea! --- Heady OG BX1 is now officially my first true attempt at cannabis tissue culture! --- Using this new workflow, I may try reusing the TKO media. Do plan to take new cuttings soon. May even try using the liquid media. --- Shout out to microclone and Bill Graham! His 'Tissueponics' video contains tips and tricks of the trade that have straight up changed the way I think of DIY cannabis tissue culture. --- Plan to further refine my process and will continue to refine the workflow with each attempt. - [20:15]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 54% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 34% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 55% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 43% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - TKO] ------ 48% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 45% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [20:56]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!
