Week 7: Flowering Stage – The Frost Factory & Bud Swelling 🦍❄️ ​Development: 🌿 We have officially advanced into Week 7 of bloom, and the Gorilla Z is turning into an absolute masterpiece. The resin production is skyrocketing—the sugar leaves and calyxes are heavily coated in a thick blanket of glittering trichomes, filling the air with a pungent, sweet, and gassy terpene profile. The buds are swelling massively, packing on dense weight and expanding in size along the strong, supportive branches. Almost all of her energy is now locked into final flower maturation and maximizing potency. 🚀📈 ​Setup & Environment: 🌡️ She continues to thrive inside her outdoor greenhouse shelter. The environment is warm and bright, allowing the plant to push its resin defenses to the absolute limit under the natural sun. Excellent passive ventilation is keeping the airflow constant around the dense flower clusters, which is vital for keeping the humidity down inside the heavy canopy during this deep maturation phase. ☀️🌦️ ​Nutrients & Water 💧 ​Watering: Consuming a steady amount of water to keep the metabolic processes active. I am strictly maintaining the wet-to-dry cycle to ensure the root zone stays healthy and properly oxygenated. ​Feed (per Liter): ​Fish·Mix: 3 ml ​Bio·Bloom: 3 ml ​Top·Max: 1 ml ​Acti·Vera: 3 ml ​Bio·Heaven: 3 ml ​CalMag: 1 ml ​Grower’s Notes 💭 ​Goal for this week: Support the peak flower development and monitor trichome cloudiness. The colas are becoming extremely heavy, compact, and sticky to the touch. The genetics are really shining through now with that legendary Gorilla frost combined with a rich, candy-like undertone. We are getting closer to the finish line, and she is looking incredibly promising! 🦍🔥

🍒 Lemon Cherry Sundae Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro Diese Woche zeigt die Lemon Cherry Sundae eindrucksvoll, warum sich Geduld im RDWC-Anbau auszahlt. Nachdem die Pflanze in den ersten Wochen etwas Zeit brauchte, um ihr volles Potenzial zu entfalten, hat sie nun endgültig ihren Rhythmus gefunden. Das Wachstum wirkt äußerst harmonisch und jede Verzweigung trägt mittlerweile kräftige Blütenansätze. Besonders auffällig ist die gleichmäßige Entwicklung des gesamten Blätterdachs. Nahezu alle Haupttriebe befinden sich auf einer ähnlichen Höhe, wodurch das Licht optimal genutzt werden kann. Die Budsites füllen sich sichtbar und entlang der Colas entstehen immer mehr übereinanderliegende Blütenstände, die später zu langen, kompakten Speeren zusammenwachsen dürften. Die ersten Harzdrüsen bedecken inzwischen nicht mehr nur die Blüten selbst, sondern breiten sich bereits auf den umliegenden Sugar Leaves aus. Genau diese frühe Trichomentwicklung lässt auf ein sehr frostiges Endergebnis hoffen. Auch die Pflanzengesundheit überzeugt weiterhin. Die Blätter zeigen ein kräftiges Grün, die Blattstellung wirkt entspannt und es sind kaum Anzeichen von Nährstoffstress oder Mangelerscheinungen zu erkennen. Die rötlichen Blattstiele passen aktuell gut zum kräftigen Wachstum sowie zur intensiven LED-Beleuchtung und geben keinen Anlass zur Sorge. Insgesamt präsentiert sich die Lemon Cherry Sundae aktuell als äußerst vitale RDWC-Pflanze mit hervorragender Blütenentwicklung. Nun beginnt die Phase, in der sich die einzelnen Blütenstände Woche für Woche verdichten und an Gewicht zulegen werden. Wenn sie dieses Tempo beibehält, dürfte sie in den kommenden Wochen sowohl optisch als auch beim Ertrag noch einmal deutlich zulegen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍒 Lemon Cherry Sundae Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro This week the Lemon Cherry Sundae clearly demonstrates why patience is often rewarded in RDWC cultivation. After taking a little longer to establish itself during the early stages, the plant has now fully found its rhythm. Growth is beautifully balanced and nearly every branch is producing healthy flower sites. One of the most impressive aspects is the even canopy. Most tops are sitting at a very similar height, allowing the lighting to reach the entire plant efficiently. Bud sites are stacking nicely along each branch, creating long flowering spears that should continue to bulk up over the coming weeks. Another highlight is the resin production. Trichomes are no longer limited to the flowers themselves but are already spreading across the surrounding sugar leaves. This early frost is a very promising sign for the final quality of the harvest. Plant health also remains excellent. The foliage has a rich green color, leaf posture looks relaxed, and there are very few signs of nutrient stress or deficiencies. The slightly reddish petioles appear to be a natural response to vigorous growth and strong LED lighting rather than a cause for concern. Overall, the Lemon Cherry Sundae is developing into a very healthy and vigorous RDWC plant with outstanding flower formation. From this point forward, the focus will shift toward swelling calyxes, increasing resin production, and steadily building dense, heavy colas. If she continues at this pace, the next few weeks should be spectacular. 🌱🍒

This was a hell of a journey and I leanred so much along the way. Really impressed with the outcome and how forgiving this strain was for a novice grower. The spark that started me on this journey has sure as shit turned into a flame.

Transferred 2 plants to 7gal on Day 17 and apply lst......on Day 18 nod start aiming for the sky🙂......topped on day 21

📆 Semana 8 Los cogollos continúan engordando y ganando compactación, con una capa de resina cada vez más abundante que empieza a cubrir las flores por completo. El Fade sigue avanzando de forma progresiva por el follaje, mientras la planta concentra su desarrollo en la maduración final de los cogollos. Mantengo la nutrición habitual con Master Root, Master Grow, Sugar Shot, Silica Force, Enzymes y Sticky Finger, siguiendo de cerca la evolución de las flores y su respuesta al UVB en pulsos de 4 minutos. ⚡ EC: 1.45 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 55% 💡 Intensidad: 800 - 900 PPFD 🔥 Nota de cultivo: Las flores muestran cada vez más densidad y cobertura de resina, mientras el Fade avanza y la maduración entra en una fase decisiva. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Plants seems healthy, they turn up into the light when its on so it looks like they evolving fast. The first leafs are a little strange😄 (lightly curved, and leafs on one plant loos sightly burned but it was explained a week ago it is probably not a real burn) but i think it is quite common and the next leafs will look normal and more beautiful!! 😇 Added some mycorrhizae today (10 grams per plant). Watering them as they want with rain water, no over or underwatering. 😎 Hope they will grow a bigger size and next week update will be more spectacular 😂

I think she is done stretching and is gonna start to stack some fat buds. She is starting to frost up and get a nice smell.

Bernice (my largest at 6" tall) got topped today after the 4th node. All 3 others will wait a few more days till they reach the same height and node spacing/growth. Will start foliar feeding of (1 gal water/2ml - liquid seaweed/2ml - gold shield silica/2ml boomerang) tonight on 03/06/21. Plants seem to be drinking water a bit more this week, meaning their root systems are growing and getting stronger. Will likely feed plain RO water tomorrow and check runoff PPM & PH. All in all they're growing much better, at the start of this week they were showing signs of deficiencies, due to me not giving them a good feeding early enough (I was afraid of over-feeding and instead under-fed!). Due to under-feeding some of my fan leaves on the early growth have gotten some brown spots, which I'm unconcerned with as these will eventually either fall off or be trimmed off by myself before sending to flower.

Questo è il primo giorno della piantina non perdetevi la terza settimana dove applicherò il low strees training! Temperatura 26⁰ e umidità 80 %

Week 5 – Balanced Bloom & Nutrient Adjustment (16 Oct – 23 Oct) Budshot Betty keeps pushing forward in mid-bloom. The canopy is full and even, and the buds are starting to bulk up nicely. I kept the light at 100W / 32cm, which gives her great intensity without any stress signs. At the start of the week she received plain water (2.7 L) to reset the medium a bit and let the roots breathe. After that, I returned to her regular feeding but slightly modified the mix because I noticed a few small rust spots on some leaves. Since I can’t check pH directly, I decided to lower the nutrient strength by about 25% from the manufacturer’s chart. Current feed (2.7 L water): • Iguana Juice Bloom – 3 ml/L • Ancient Earth OG Organics – 2 ml/L • Big Bud OG Organics – 1.5 ml/L • CalMag (BioBizz) – 1 ml/L She looks healthy and vibrant again — the rust hasn’t spread, and the leaves stay strong and green. The buds are swelling, pistils multiplying, and the smell is getting more intense every day. Overall, a calm and balanced week focused on stability and prevention rather than pushing too hard.

Day 29: LST is done. 600W LED, 20 hours on 4 hours off the same with ventilation. Insetvrhe lamp approx 36 cm away. Water intake: 75 ml per plant plus triggering, humidity around 60 percent. Fertilization is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with BioBizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Critical Orange Punch started flowering se grows very quick. Rest of them are OK as well they are on the way... Day 30: I did LST again. I didn't have enough elastic band yesterday so I bought today and bent them better. I also set the lamp closer approx 32 cm.Day 31: I did LST yesterday and bent them. They already "lifted up" their heads toward the lamp. As they grow I will keep bending the main stalk and the side ones. I will try to create a spiral form and spread the plants with time. Day 32: Almost all of them started flowering except Sour Stomper. Day 35: Auto Critical Orange is the monster here. She is the most developed and tallestbwoth approx 28cm. (Hard to.measure property because of LST). Pre flowers developing nicely along the plants. I changed the lamp as it needed to my other tent because my other lamp is shit. So I will swap them one week here other week there... End of the week the tallest is Critical Orange Punch with approx 28 cm and the shortest Sour Stomper with 14 cm.

📆 Semana Final - Eternity Grow Cup 2025 📆 ¡Y llegamos al final de esta increíble experiencia en la Eternity Grow Cup! La Runtz de Zamnesia ha dado lo mejor de sí misma, con cogollos densos, llenos de resina y un perfil aromático que se ha intensificado a lo largo de la competencia. La combinación de genética y Green Sensation de Plagron ha sido todo un acierto, resultando en una floración espectacular. Los tricomas ya están en su punto máximo, y la planta no ha mostrado signos de estrés en ningún momento, lo que demuestra que el cuidado y los productos utilizados han dado sus frutos. La estructura de la planta ha sido perfecta, con cogollos consistentes en todas las zonas. Con temperaturas controladas y un entorno bien manejado, los resultados son más que satisfactorios. Ha sido un verdadero placer participar en esta competición y ver cómo la Runtz crecía y evolucionaba con cada semana. ¡Gracias a todos por el apoyo y, sin duda, seguiré aprendiendo y mejorando para la próxima! 🍀💪

🇺🇸 We’re in the finals. Just 3 more days without water and then it’s harvest time. Buds are nicely swollen, resin everywhere and the smell is insane. Can’t wait to chop her down. 🇨🇿 Jsme ve finále. Teď už jen 3 dny bez vody a pak jde na řadu sekyro. Palice jsou krásné, pryskyřice všude a vůně brutální. Už se těším, jak to dopadne 🤠

Week 15 days 99-105 . I'm am flushing all plants with 1 gallon of filtered water each. I've reduced the light cycle from 18 to 14 hours to reduce heat stress. It may reduce yield as well based on comments I've read in other growers diaries. An oz per plant would be nice. Of course more would be better but an oz makes a pound of cannabutter. Reducing the light hours is reducing the purpleness in the stems of og kush and gorilla glue but Purple chill still has purple stems The Natrona sisters spend their nights in the garage where the temps are 10-15 degrees cooler than in the day temps in the tent. Night temps ranged this week between 63-66 with rh 51-76%. The high rhythm comes after a rain. During the day, I'm keeping the tent open while circulating 2 fans. Day Temps can reach 80 so it gets hot in there. flooded each plant with 1 gal of water. From here forward I will be flushing all plants with filtered water at 1 gal for each plant every other day. Monday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo. This is a stress technique used to force plant phenotype colors. I don't think it will work for mine as I over fed. While I have 3 different strains, they look the same with blue green dominance. Thursday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Saturday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo Sunday photos I'm not seeing any change in leaf or bud colorations from flushing out the fertilizers nor from the ice treatment. General comments" After putting the plants in the garage during the night, morning soil temperatures are within a degree of the night air temperature. This has been about 15 degrees cooler (50s) than the tent temperatures (75+). This week our weather has been unseasonably warm so the night temperatures have been 63-71 with Rh 51-70% Tent temps in the day 75-80 and RH 47-59%. Special thanks to @DreamIT for showing me how to add music to video. Check out my Gigi video above for a short clip.

Everything is running smoothly, apart from a few minor issues that I managed to resolve with Orgatrex and P/K. I also added around 3–4 teaspoons of Silicium Flash per pot and watered them with Bactrex, so my little friends can keep breaking down all those delicious nutrients over the remaining weeks and reward me with some nice, plump buds. The smell keeps changing, and since I have two different strains in the tent, I always find it difficult to tell which one is responsible for which aroma. I think it'll be time to harvest towards the end of November. I'm really looking forward to spending these last few weeks with the girls!

Plantitas sanas.
