All went smooth this last week. The leaves started turning yellow recently. I'm not sure if it's natural or not, but it seems pretty healthy other than that. Still waiting to fond some amber in the trichomes.

A-Day 88, B&C-Day 84 A-Nearing the finish line, she is in the middle of week 13. She has been getting nothing but water for the past 4 feeds now. She is fading fast. Lots of colours under loupe, I see pink’s and purples. Tricomes are almost all cloudy now and are close to about 5% amber. I’m going to ride her out as long as I can so I can get the other two closer to the finish line as well. Fat buds, some as thick as a pop can! 😎 B- Still getting full feeds of nutrients every other feed, on the off days, just a very lose dose of nutrients instead of just water. She is fattening up and stacking very nicely. Doesn’t have the same structure of A, but then again C, doesn’t look like A at all either. Same seed pack, same environment, slightly different training techniques, but what a difference in pheno expressions! C- Has slown down some in stacking, most likely due to the length of her buds and how long it takes to make a difference. Very decent at this point, I feel like she is almost 2 weeks behind A, and 1 week behind B in growth, but if she puts on some weight like I think she will in the last 2 weeks, she’ll have a good final weight 😎

09-09-2025 I noticed mildew on the carrots🥕in the greenhouse and decided to move Royal CBG to the garage. I don’t want her to get infected. In the process of moving her, I decided to check her thoroughly for bugs and found grey mould (botrytis). I feel really dissapointed again. I cut off the buds with grey mould, disinfected everything with hydrogenperoxide 3% and moved the plant to the garage. The exact bud where I found the caterpillar 🐛 last week was infected with the mould. 🤬🐛 11-09-2025 I had to cut off three buds because of the mould. Hopefully I will have something left to harvest in a few weeks… 14-09-2025 I took her out of the garage for a thorough inspection. Pulled out another fat caterpillar, cut off some affected parts and sprayed her with Cannacure. The buds are mostly white. I think she will be ready in a week. Hard to tell when to harvest CBG. I stopped feeding her. She only got plain water today.

those nugs are getting bigger and bigger each day. They‘re just soaking up the fertilzers. We have to water them every second day 2l per plant

Here we are! Week 15 day 1 ( week 8 day 1 of flower ) Have chopped her down as comp is ending! I won't weight weigh but I'll come back and put up a dry weight instead

2020-08-17 Beginning of Week 9 of flowering! Wow! The buds in the middle are getting super frosty now and I noticed that I had some colas that had dipped below the light canopy. They're now back up on top! I am still giving nutrients as I don't see many amber trichomes yet but I am going into the tent without the LEDs on to take some more updated pics. Don't wanna miss my window as I prefer to be stimulated instead of sedated by cannabis. Hoping this strain delivers. IF anyone wants to comment on the 'readiness' of my buds for flushing (or not flushing) please leave a comment or message me! 2020-08-23 Updated with this week's entire set of pics! Trying to take more with the lights off and just the flash to capture the trichomes. Looks like the sugar leaves have more amber trichomes. I've been advised by at least one person that it's time to harvest. Still looking for more opinions! Cheers.

Still extraordinarily green. Buds forming nicely. Beginning to increase the nutrients. Slow and steady, this girl.

I feel like she's doing great, loving this batch of living soil. Still a bit confused on how watering at a ph of 5.3 is being buffered by the soil up to a runoff ph of 8. Not going to worry about it, she looks great and smells great and it's day 29-30 since flipped. The soil has her now.

Tag 25: Umgetopft in einen 15L Topf. Tag 27: getoppt bei 5 Nodien. Tag 30: Entlaubt (alle Sonnensegel am Hauptstamm entfernt) und mit LST angefangen.

Day 64

Another week of flowering is complete for the Gorilla Cookies. She is developing nicely and the first flowers are becoming more visible. The plant continues to look healthy, and I'm happy with the overall growth and structure so far. I'm keeping her completely natural without any training and just letting her do her thing. It's still early in flower, but the development is looking very promising. I'm really looking forward to seeing how much she stretches and how the buds develop over the coming weeks.

We reduced light hours from 20h to 18h..I know being this far in flower it sounds idiotic but we're trying to give them more down time to recover because we (well I did lol) burned the ever living crap out of a few of the babies at 18 inches, lesson learned..the SP-3000 is no joke, it's very intense.. we raised the light to 22" as well.. using autoflowers to dial in wasn't one of my brighter ideas but live and learn lol..besides, we have some killer photoperiod strains immediately on deck and this yield is still looking pretty good considering.. everyone is getting a (very) little bit of P,K and cal-mag with every watering..we're also adding a few ml of grow too.. all new growth has a great color...thanks for reading if you chose to do so and happy harvests everyone! ❤️ ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

I'd really like to try this strain again now that we've got distance set..despite the mishaps they still look like they'll give up a pretty good yield but I suspect it could of been bigger if we got that week and a half back ,but I can't be upset, at our row of good sized colas that look and smell fabulous! ❤️😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

We are now in middle of week 11 and 1 plant will be ready for harvest in around 7-10 days.

Dealing with some high temps during the day at the moment. Meaning my lights off temps are higher than my lights on temps due to running the light during night time. Plants seem to be dealing well despite temps hitting 30+C. Going to give another boost of PK this week, again at half strength.

Alright guys so here's to last week My first time doing sweet seeds And I must say it was really awesome Yo, I ran my first Cream Mandarine XL from sweet seed and at the very beginning thought she was going to die, she was sad and having it rough but with lots of caring she came back to life and even better, this is also one of the longest autos and the tallest I've had with many colas, Im still learning so I should probably train them better in the long run once I get to run another one, well if you look into my profile at my grow diary I'm running gorilla XL right now and I'm training her little by little, more precisely I'm making sure she's getting plenty of light so we don't waste any single spot of energy once she's got to bloom!! But hey we keep talking bout cream Mandarine XL and it's sad to say goodbye but it's also her time, she's got to the point of no return and we've got to take her out Thanks a lot for everything pretty girl You rock and I love sweet seeds Thanks a lot for those good good smokes Sweet smokes to all of you running them genetics also thanks a lot to the whole community who supported me in the whole process I do appreciate it Also thanks again sweet seeds Apollo for your support letting me run your genetics and given the opportunity to show the world my farming level Hopefully with the great people around I will become better :') Alright now time to harvest this girl Peace and love brothers If you got any questions just shoot
