11/29 - At this point in the game, plants don't ever look much different day-to-day! I'm wondering, though, if this one is showing her starting to fade... it's either that or she's needing some stronger PK nutes... any thoughts? 12/2 - I'm going to start winding her down... gotta pick up some Ripen and some Flawless Finish ... Probably going to have to shorten the period of time I use these products but hell, she's pretty used to me screwing up - LOL! 12/03 - so my local grow store was out of Ripen - so I guess I'm going to forget that one... I'm going to let her go until Tuesday when she will be exactly 13 weeks old and start a 3-day flush using General Hydroponics FloraKleen (they also did not have Flawless Finish!).... Planning to chop her next Saturday unless the amber hasn't really made its presence known... We'll see.... I'm just going to go by what she tells me... but it really IS time, old girl... it really is. 12/04 - Doing a bucket change today, she's going to an EC of 0.2-0.4 or thereabouts and I'm not going to worry about the pH - my tap water is about 7.5 so that's what she's getting unless I relent and drop it to the upper 6's - I'm just not going to overly concern myself with it. I think her bulking has finished and SHE needs to finish up. Found a few amber on leaves in the middle of the plant and I know those can really be rather ignored .... but I'm still concerned about the trichs on the main cola - haven't seen much change between milky and clear for a while now... so it's puzzling to me. Maybe the drop in EC will kick her into truly finishing... if it doesn't, I can always bring the EC back up, the pH back down and keep her going... She's always been my "experiment" - always been my "tester" - so why not experiment at this stage of her life as well?!

Sense63 📆 Woche 11 – 15. bis 21. Dezember 2025 Blütetag 37–43 · Gesamtalter ca. Tag 74–80 Die Pflanzen befinden sich nun klar in der fortgeschrittenen Blütephase. Der Fokus liegt sichtbar auf Blütenverdichtung, Harzproduktion und strukturellem Finish. Vegetatives Wachstum ist nahezu eingestellt, die Energie geht vollständig in Bud-Aufbau. 🌱 Pflanzenbeobachtungen – Hauptzelt 90×90 🍋 Lemon Orange – hinten rechts Sehr dominante Erscheinung im Zelt. Die Hauptbuds sind deutlich angeschwollen, mit kompakter Struktur und zunehmender Dichte. Stigmen stehen noch überwiegend hell, beginnen stellenweise leicht nachzudunkeln. Die Blätter zeigen eine gesunde, leicht matte Oberfläche – typisch für diese Phase. Die Pflanze wirkt stabil, trägt ihr Gewicht gut und zeigt keine Stressanzeichen. Gesamteindruck: Ertragsorientiert, kraftvoll, sehr gleichmäßiger Bud-Stack. 🦍 White Gorilla Haze – vorne links Auffällig harzige Entwicklung. Die Buds sind etwas luftiger im Aufbau als bei Lemon Orange, dafür stark mit Trichomen überzogen. Das zuvor beobachtete einseitige Aufhellungsmuster (teilweise gelbliche Triebe/Blätter) ist weiterhin sichtbar, zeigt aber keine negative Dynamik. Neue Blütenstände entwickeln sich normal, ohne Verformungen oder Wachstumsstopp. Einordnung: Sehr wahrscheinlich genetische Chimären-/Sektorvarianz oder früh entstandene Leitbahn-Asymmetrie. Kein klassisches Mangel- oder Überdüngungsbild. Gesamteindruck: Sehr aromatisch wirkend, gesund in der Blüte, funktional stabil. 🍒 Cherry Poppers #1 – vorne rechts Extrem gleichmäßige Blütenverteilung. Alle Haupttriebe tragen kompakte, gut definierte Buds mit kurzer Internodienabfolge. Die Pflanze nutzt den gewonnenen Raum optimal, wirkt breit und ausgeglichen. Blätter zeigen leichte natürliche Aufhellung in tieferen Zonen – altersgerecht. Gesamteindruck: Sehr saubere Struktur, ideal für gleichmäßige Reife. 🌱 Pflanzenbeobachtung – Kleines Zelt 40×40 🍒 Cherry Poppers #2 Kompakter Phänotyp mit starkem Fokus auf Headbuds. Die Hauptcola ist deutlich ausgeprägt und beginnt sichtbar an Masse zuzulegen. Seitentriebe bleiben kürzer, tragen aber ebenfalls gut entwickelte Blüten. Sehr gleichmäßige Harzbildung, kaum Blattüberhang – ideal für gute Luftzirkulation. Gesamteindruck: Klein, effizient, sehr sauberer Blütenaufbau. 🍃 Allgemeine Wochenbeobachtungen – Woche 11 Klare Phase der Bud-Verdichtung Trichombildung nimmt sichtbar zu Kaum neues Längenwachstum Pflanzen tragen Gewicht stabil, kein Umknicken Canopy bleibt offen und gut durchlüftet Unteres Blattwerk baut sich altersgerecht zurück Keine neuen Stressanzeichen oder Defizite 🔚 Fazit Woche 11 Die Blüte ist nun voll etabliert. Alle Pflanzen zeigen sortentypisches Verhalten und entwickeln sich gesund, stabil und planmäßig. Unterschiede zwischen den Strains werden jetzt klar sichtbar – sowohl im Bud-Aufbau als auch in Harz- und Strukturmerkmalen. Eine sehr ruhige, kontrollierte Phase, die eine starke Endreife erwarten lässt.

I flushed her for 4 days and give her 24 hrs of darkness before harvest . By that time her lower leaves are yellowing and the spider mites are still posing threat so i guess this it the right opportunity to cut this huge lady down. Thanks to my bro i was able to pre trim all the buds in 3 hrs . Doing this all alone would be a total pain in the ass . The wet weight of the buds stem is = 821 g , 29 oz The dried weight of this one lady is 137g which is not bad but is still disappointing for me , she is huge i could have gained more but overall it is okay :)). She has that mangoish and earthy smell which i really like . The high is more towards happy than a coach lock high . Some of this will be turned into tincture and will be for my dad personal use . Lets wait and cure this to see if it taste any better!

06/03/19 - These plants have grown so fast, normally at this stage my previous plants have been much smaller, only 14 days old and got a 8-9 wingspan on the fan leaves, I’m really happy I’ve turned to mills as I’ve had no faults with them yet, I did see a slight cal defiency on one of them but this was my own fault not the nutrients, I heard I dident have to add cal mag as their A&B had extra in it, but as I’m in coco I made a mistake but I’m hopeing that it’s gonna be a quick fix and they will be back to normal in the next few days 🤞🏻 09/03/19 - the gelatos seem like their doing fine, had a few brown specs but nothing progressed and it looks like their doing good. 12/03/19 - started to LST/leaf braid today as their already big enough for it and should be switching to flower at the end of next week

Well after a miscalculation on the feeding weeks I am back on track. I gave them a drink of PH 6.2 water on the 15th I will feed them this week with another Bloom, Humic Acid and Big Fruits I will increase them by 2 ml per gallon. I am out of the PK booster and should have enough of the other Green Buzz Nutrients to last the grow. They seem to be responding well to the feedings. I might have a little nutrient burn on some of the sugar leaves. Over all autos that don't get very big, the PPM level I have been giving them might be a little high. so one more week of feeding after this 1/25 last food before the 2week flush with Clean Fruits from Green Buzz Nutrients. something similar to a flawless finish I am guessing. till next week Roll Bigger Joints.😺

Acapulco Gold has just reached the maximum height available! 😅 The flowers are coming in beautifully, despite the less than stellar growing conditions. I must say I am very pleased with the seeds from WeedSeedsExpress. First time using their genetics, and they have been impressive, to say the least! Acapulco Gold Auto has really started focusing on the buds, and they are really interesting looking flowers 🤞 9.9.25: I have done a large defoliation. Removing the fan leaves on the lower branches. As well as some on the inside of the plant. Also, I removed some of the leaves that weren't looking so good. The leaves are yellowing out on the older leaves, whilst the new leaves are becoming much darker. I decided to add in a bud building PK boosters this week. I used Bud Explosion and seaweed extract as well as Sea K. I'm really trying to make the most out of this plant and will try to get a personal record in the yeild. I lollipoped last week, and this defoliation will be the last thing that I will do to the plant. I will be top dress next week for the Ecothrive Bloom, Life Cycle, Diatomaceous Earth, and Cinnamon. This will be one of the last, depending on how quickly we progress here. I am having a problem judging the water requirements as the plant itself now weighs a LOT! This isn't good for me because I am not the best of judging without lifting the pots. Obviously, the pot is much heavier now because the plant has gotten so big. I'm trying 2 x 6.5L feedings this week, I should go up to 3 or more next week, probably. I am constantly moving the plant daily to evenly distribute the light to the plant. That's what happened this week. I'm very pleased with this plant in general, and this weeks progress has been very good. I'm more than happy! Here is what I did this week. 4.9.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 with; 💜 3 TSP Cal-Mag 💜 1.5 TSP Bud Explosion PH: 6.1 PPM: 1120 9.9.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 20ml Seaweed extract 💜 4.5 TSP Sea K(elp) PH: 6.2 PPM: 599 That's all this week, I'm very pleased with this weeks progress. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🧡👌

Everything looks fine. Stopped feeding them for 2-3 days because of the yellowlish leaf tips. I am thinking to make a defoliation since a week but i am not sure how i should do it. Would appreciate some advice ^^

Plants came back out of their 36 hours of darkness and were a little droopy, so I made the decision to put them outside for the first day of light. Unfortunately they suffered from wind burn so I brought them back to the tent. Foliar fed the plants daily at 400PPM.

Die mineralisch gedüngte Auto euforia ist jetzt alleine im Zelt mit einem 14l Topf. Da die Pflanze zu hoch wächst hab ich heute ein scrog Netz reingehängt um mehr Abstand zur Lampe zu gewinnen. Jetzt täglich 4l/Tag und 1,5g/l hackefors grün und 1g/l hackefors rot. Sobald die Dame sich von dem scrog erholt hat wird in der unteren Region noch entlaubt. Die anderen 5 organisch gedüngt stehen jetz im anderen Zelt aber die Temperatur ist ziemlich niedrig. Mittlerweile mit 1l/Tag und bei jedem 2. -3. mal Giesen mit biobizz düngeschema.

Hey everyone, I meant to post this update yesterday, but I was really busy. Anyway, here she is! She's doing great, although still a bit darker than I'd like, which might just be her genetics. Overall, I'm really happy with how things are going for my first grow. There are definitely some things I could have done to improve this run. The top buds aren't as fat as I hoped, probably because there are so many tops and bud sites under the canopy that aren't getting enough PPFD. This seems to be causing the plant to direct quite a lot of energy to the lower buds, leaving the top colas not getting 100% of the energy they need. But hey, we learn as we go, and this first run has taught me a lot. I'm aiming for at least 4 ounces, but honestly, she doesn't look like she's producing that much weight at the moment. Fingers crossed these buds juice up and double in size within these last two weeks! Thanks for following along and for all the support! 🌱✨

After the disaster with germinating the expert seeds Gorrillas, I was a bit disheartened, was so looking forward to them. But we just follow up strong by planting a Dutch Passion Skywalker Haze instead. Will be starting that diary this week, lets hope she germinates. And it looks like we might be lucky, one tiny seedling came up from the 5 expert seeds, looks like a bit of a runt now and doesnt grow as fast as the Dutch Passion Orange Hill Special. I wil put another Orange Hill in the tent if this doesnt work out. Last week was a hot week and rising temperatures inside and out of the tent, I decided to to remove the driver from the SP-3000 and put it outside of the tent. This light looks even sleeker and sexier this way. Also a dream to deinstall, 5 minutes. But my victory last week was my invention of my custom top down oscillating fan. Which comprises of a standing oscillating towerfan, hung horizontal by just making a little hole in the foot and hanging it sideways. It works like a charm. The tower has optional oscillation so I can choose to just cool the light or sway through the entire tent. Very happy with that and still very happy with the light by @MarsHydroLED, thanks so much. Dont forget their End of Summer Sale: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/911997108/ huge discounts at the moment if you are in the market for a tent or a light!

Hi@ALL, today marks the end of the first flowering week. Since the two main stems grew too tall, I had to tie them down to achieve a more even surface. The stems in the middle might still manage to reach the top. I removed all leaves that were casting shadows. The lower branches of the plant naturally receive much less light than the upper ones. I tried to tie them down as much as possible so that they stretch outwards. I hope it wasn’t wrong not to cut them. All in all, it seems to be going well for her. I’ve switched my fertilization schedule to flowering. And I’ve gradually increased the light intensity from the first flower-day until today. I started at around 800 PPFD and now I’m up to approximately 1100 PPFD. Greetings 😎👌

Very happy with the look and smell I'm already getting off the buds. Hairs are starting to turn orange.

The cal-mag issue has been handled and is growing strong. They are definitely producing some buds I hit them with a nasty defoliation trying to get humidity down and expose as much light to the nugs as possible. This will be the last time I hit them like this but will be still removing large fan leaves if they get in the way of bud sights. Hopefully lord willing everything will continue to go smoothly and we can get a good harvest.!! Happy growing and god bless.
