First attempt at FIMing, so hopefully it worked... only because of the colder weather, the growth slowed down...🌱🙏

La pianta per le bassissime temperature di fine ottobre è stata tagliata qualche giorno prima ma sicuramente la rifarò indoor. Sono molto contento e difficilmente lo sono. Ho detto tutto 😊🖐️

Love it

Weekly update for these girls. They got a defoliated and lollipopped this week. Also went full on into preflower showing pistols and flower sites everywhere. Over all they're growing like champs. Happy Growing.

Coming along well up top. Less impressed with roots, thus far.

Day 144 23/09/24 Monday (Start of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today. Seeing her starting to really take shape now, buds forming well, trichomes now flooding in. She's looking good 😍 Day 146 25/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron PK13-14. Day 148 27/09/24 Friday Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Picture and video update 😎 Day 150 29/09/24 Sunday (End of Week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. She is now exploding with bud sites 🤤 Will lollipop at end of week to allow better focus on tops. I know it's late in the game but there are some wispy strands that have re emerged so I'll take care of them tonight. Picture update 😎

🌸 Blütetag 22 | Tag 66 gesamt 🌸 Gestern wurde ordentlich gelollipopt – und da kam schon einiges runter. Der Stretch trudelt jetzt langsam aus… zumindest fühlt es sich endlich so an. 😄 Jetzt dürfen die Damen langsam anfangen, richtig Gewicht und Masse aufzubauen. Und besonders die letzten 7–10 Tage waren komplett verrückt. Vor allem die Fruit Bomb Punch hat nochmal völlig den Turbo gezündet. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich selten erlebt, dass eine Pflanze innerhalb so kurzer Zeit nochmal so eskaliert. Die war am Anfang nach heißem Soil, Spruzit-Stress und dem Topping sogar die empfindlichste Kandidatin im Feld – und inzwischen thront sie mitten über allem. Komplett wild. 🚀 Die Chicken & Waffles und die Fruit Bomb Punch liegen jetzt beide ungefähr bei 1,10–1,12 m, wobei die Fruit Bomb mittlerweile leicht die Führung übernommen hat und mitten im Zelt über allem steht. Und das auch nur, weil sie inzwischen schon drei Clips bekommen hat, um sie seitlich runterzuziehen – quasi Supercropping ohne richtiges Supercroppen. Ohne diese Clips wäre sie wahrscheinlich inzwischen irgendwo bei 1,25 m, 1,30 m oder vielleicht noch höher angekommen. Absolut wahnsinnig, wie die abgegangen ist. Man merkt einfach, dass sie trotz Topping am Ende komplett Richtung Triebmonster tendiert. Einer der beiden Haupttriebe hat sich deutlich dominanter entwickelt als der andere und zieht jetzt brutal nach oben. Dazu kommt dieser Geruch… die Fruit Bomb Punch heißt wirklich nicht ohne Grund so. 🍓💥 Das ist inzwischen eine legitime Fruchtbombe. Extrem laut, extrem intensiv und komplett raumfüllend. Wahrscheinlich das stärkste und aggressivste Terpenprofil im ganzen Run bisher. Die Strawberry AK bleibt dagegen weiterhin die absolute Bilderbuchpflanze im Feld. Kompakt, buschig, brutal gesund und voller Budsites. Von der reinen Höhe hat sie gegen die beiden Monster zwar keine Chance, aber genau das macht sie spannend: Sie hat unglaublich viele kräftige Seitentriebe und Budsites aufgebaut – ehrlich gesagt deutlich mehr als die Fruit Bomb Punch. Deshalb könnte sie am Ende sogar heimlich das eigentliche Ertragsmonster werden. Nicht über Höhe, sondern über pure Masse und Struktur. 😄 Nach dem Lollipoppen habe ich sie deshalb auch etwas auf einen Topf hochgebockt, damit sie besser mit ins Canopy kommt und die vielen Tops ordentlich Licht bekommen. Ihre Struktur ist einfach wahnsinnig sauber. Eigentlich musste man an der Pflanze bisher kaum etwas machen. Auch die Chicken & Waffles entwickelt sich inzwischen zum absoluten Monster. Trotz untoppter Struktur hat sie extrem viele schöne Seitentriebe hochgezogen und steht überraschend eben im Canopy. Dafür, dass sie nie getoppt wurde, ist das schon ziemlich beeindruckend. Diese riesigen Internodienabstände, die anfangs fast schon zu wild wirkten, sorgen jetzt dafür, dass überall Licht tief in die Pflanze fällt und die Seitentriebe brutal mitziehen. Terpentechnisch entwickeln sich die drei Damen mittlerweile ebenfalls komplett unterschiedlich: Die Fruit Bomb Punch ist einfach pure Frucht und komplett laut. Die Strawberry AK geht eher in eine cremigere, weichere Candy-Fruchtrichtung. Und die Chicken & Waffles bleibt bisher eher würzig unterwegs. Auch technisch läuft der Run aktuell erstaunlich entspannt. Die Dripper laufen konstant morgens, mittags und abends – besser geht’s eigentlich kaum. Die Pflanzen wirken super stabil versorgt und gerade in dieser explosiven Phase scheint ihnen das richtig gutzutun. Temperaturtechnisch ist ebenfalls noch alles im Rahmen, auch wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit inzwischen langsam etwas anzieht. Aber bei der Blattmasse und dem Wachstum wundert das mittlerweile auch nicht mehr. 😄 Gesundheitlich sieht der Run aktuell wirklich top aus. Eigentlich gibt es nichts Auffälliges außer der ganz normalen Aufhellung im Verlauf der Blüte. Keine echten Probleme, keine größeren Mängel – genau so darf’s weitergehen. 🙏 Jetzt heißt es: Budstacking, Gewicht und hoffentlich nicht komplett ans Zeltdach wachsen. 😅 Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯 Grow on 🌱 Flower Day 22 | Day 66 overall 🌸 Yesterday was lollipopping day — and quite a lot came off. The stretch finally seems to be slowing down now… at least it feels like it. 😄 From here on, the ladies can hopefully start focusing more on proper bud stacking, weight and mass. And honestly, the last 7–10 days have been completely insane. Especially the Fruit Bomb Punch absolutely hit the turbo again. I rarely see a plant explode that hard within such a short time. Early on she was actually the most sensitive plant in the tent after the hot soil mix, the Spruzit stress and the topping — and now she completely dominates the middle of the canopy. Absolute madness. 🚀 The Chicken & Waffles and the Fruit Bomb Punch are now both sitting around 1.10–1.12 m tall, although the Fruit Bomb has slightly taken the lead and now towers above everything else in the center of the tent. And that’s only because she already got three clips to pull her sideways — basically supercropping without actually supercropping. Without those clips she would probably be somewhere around 1.25 m, 1.30 m or maybe even higher by now. Just crazy how hard she stretched. You can really tell that despite the topping she still wants to become one giant dominant shoot monster. One of the two main tops clearly became much stronger than the other and is now absolutely blasting upwards. And then there’s the smell… the Fruit Bomb Punch truly deserves her name. 🍓💥 This thing is a legitimate fruit bomb. Extremely loud, extremely intense and completely fills the room. Probably the strongest and most aggressive terp profile in the entire run so far. The Strawberry AK, on the other hand, remains the absolute textbook plant of the run. Compact, bushy, incredibly healthy and completely packed with budsites. Height-wise she can’t compete with the two monsters, but that’s exactly what makes her so interesting: she built an insane amount of strong side branches and budsites — honestly way more than the Fruit Bomb Punch. So she might secretly become the true yield monster in the end. Not through height, but through pure mass and structure. 😄 After lollipopping I even raised her slightly on top of a pot so she can stay better within the canopy and get more light to all those tops. Her structure is just ridiculously clean. Honestly, she barely needed any work during the whole grow. The Chicken & Waffles is also turning into a complete monster by now. Despite being completely untopped she developed tons of beautiful side branches and created a surprisingly even canopy. For an untopped plant, that’s seriously impressive. Those huge internodal gaps that initially looked almost too wild are now allowing light to penetrate deep into the plant and all the side branches are exploding as well. Terp-wise the three ladies are also separating more and more now: The Fruit Bomb Punch is just pure loud fruit. The Strawberry AK leans into a creamier, softer candy-fruit direction. And the Chicken & Waffles currently stays more on the spicy side. Technically the run is also going surprisingly smooth right now. The drippers are running consistently morning, noon and evening — honestly couldn’t ask for much better. The plants seem extremely stable and happy with it, especially during this explosive phase of growth. Temperature-wise things are still under control too, although humidity is slowly starting to creep up. But with this amount of leaf mass and growth, that’s hardly surprising anymore. 😄 Health-wise the run currently looks really great overall. Basically nothing concerning besides the normal lightening during flower progression. No real deficiencies, no major problems — exactly how you want things to go. 🙏 Now it’s time for bud stacking, weight gain and hopefully not completely growing into the tent roof. 😅 In the end, the jar decides. 🍯 Grow on 🌱

Smells on this bud are amazing! Very piney with hints of berries 😋 Not the biggest harvest, but that was expected seeing as this plant was grown in a 1 gal pot. None the less, I am happy with the results 😁

Day 106 16/08/24 Friday Big feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Finally flipped her!! Excuse my mess of a Scrog it's first time. I'm cutting away squares to allow the new growth this week to pass through, the net will only be used them as support to allow her to fully express her flowers 💚 Day 107 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 109 19/08/24 MONDAY Another feed today, she is recovering well from the move, Scrog, LST. This week I'll be keeping her within the net as she stretches. Picture update Day 111 21/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water today pH 6. Again 5L little run off. She's stretching 😁 time to fill the floor.

* 02/08 - Week 1 Flower - Flushed out veg nutes - Feeding only flower nutes - light feeds to begin - heavy water feeds in between - bend clips have been applied until the end of the week*

Plants have a nice size, big flowers and they are still growing. I'm fully satisfied with this strain. My first grow of Northern Lights Auto. I started with Plagron Green Sensation this week.

This is week 8 for my grow and have just gone into the second week of flower, photos everyday at 1:00 am 😜. Any photos you would like to see ? Just ask and I will upload them.

My Rainbow Saltz plant is a medium-sized beauty in the tent. It's got really nice, healthy leaves and an incredibly strong aroma already. I'm excited to see how it develops! Okay, This past week has been absolutely fantastic! The weather has been incredible, and I've been able to keep the windows open almost the entire time. My plants are thriving in the humidity, and the VPD has been perfect. Everything just feels so balanced and in check.

Most of the autos are being moved into my dad's garden or the backyard.

Hi people 🤗 A lot has happened this week 😄 The 3 Blue Cheese and 2 Kosher Tangie Kush which have been in the flowering tent for 1 week have become very bushy 👍 Unfortunately I just noticed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the Blue Cheese Phenotype # 3 🤦‍♂️🏻 The picture will be given later. The rest of the Vegi tent is also progressing very well. They are repotted in 11 liter pots this week, and then come to the flowering chamber die the following week The next week there will be new pictures, until then I wish everyone a nice start into the new week 🙏🏻💪🏻 Let it grow 🍀🌱

December 27, 2023 Day 113 This week will focus on burping and trichomes. There may also be a harvest? We shall see. I don't think so though. Most likely next week will be a harvest. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 3 Curing I have grove bags coming in today, so the burping won't be a thing after today. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is coming to the end of her life. She hasn't started fading yet, which bugs me. She has been flushing for a week now and I'm not seeing much change. No fade, pistils still kinda sticking out. Not in all places, but some. Maybe I just can't tell. Either way, she looks great and smells even better. She got a full gallon top flush with Flawless Finish. I don't expect to do this much more. Maybe one more watering. I have to check trichomes today. I'll update when I do so. She should be ready for harvest within this week. Maybe a couple days. Number 2 is looking amazing. Her colas are stupid dense and her aroma is starting to really pack a punch. Not much else to do or say today. She's a beast and is beautiful. She got a gallon top feed today. The reservoir seems to be fine. I may check that later today as well. Just in case. She is quite a thirsty plant after all. The funny thing about this plant is the tallest cola. It is absolutely stunning with the exception of the top bleaching, but the rest of it is massive and shaped perfectly. It's the only one that did this. Granted its the tallest, but there are a couple others very close and they didn't do this. I mean, I really can't complain. I did the best I could with what I have. I'd say she will need another week or two of flowering. I'll leave the nutrient regimen alone until I see 50% cloudy trichomes. That will take some time I think. Pistils are still all very much white and clearly shows no signs of readiness. It's wonderful. I can't wait to see what she gives me for yield. Update: So I checked the trichomes on Gorilla Cookies 1 and posted a video. I believe she will be done in the next couple days. I may not be doing another flush after all. I'm going to hold off though. I want a bit more amber trichomes. But days away instead of the week I was originally thinking. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 52.6% VPD: 1.30 kPa December 28, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 4 Curing Got the grove bags yesterday and sealed a quarter pound one with all but a few buds. Those are in a one ounce grove bags that I'll be picking out of while the main yield cures. This stuff is fire! Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is now in the second week of flush. She still doesn't look ready, but that will change very soon. She needed no watering today. I'll be getting my supplemental lighting in today and will be installing it. However, I'm not sure how much it will help the lower part of the canopy. It will definitely speed up the maturing process, but that's about it. I can't complain though, the whole plant is pretty good. Lower buds are pretty small. Some are a bit airy and larfy, but still can be viable with the last but of lighting for the rest of the week. Number 2 may need a top feeding today. I'm not sure. Her reservoir is about half empty now and the soil moisture is hovering around 20%. It may drink down to 16% but the this afternoon. I'll water if she's low enough by 2 pm. After that, I'll just wait for tomorrow. That's the most likely scenario. Her buds are starting to get really heavy. Most of the outside ones are leaning over and starting to touch the other sides of the tent. The outside is still kinda safe, but that is mostly due to the two other plants stopping it from leaning even more. such a sight to behold. And they are super heavy and dense. Although, I may be seeing the first signs of foxtailing. I expected some because of the light distance, but it's ok. The colas are already super dense. The foxtailing will be just extra bud. I'll separate that in its own bag when it's time to cure. That's if I'm right and will be getting foxtails. Maybe not though, or not enough to warrant a separate bag. My supplemental lighting after being installed should help the lower part of the plant perk up a bit. I found several dead and dying leaves today. Actually, lots. That tells me a couple things I think. First, there's too much foliage in the upper canopy and the leaves are dying from overcrowding. Second, the light just isn't penetrating enough to really get the lower parts of the canopy. That's where the new lighting comes in. Hopefully that fixes the lower canopy and helps it bring more bud. Maybe not huge colas, but at least some tight smalls. We shall see. Update: I ended up top watering Gorilla Cookies 2 with recharge. I'm pretty sure I forgot it the other day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 55.5% VPD: 1.25 kPa It's still super humid and rainy here, and it's showing in the tent. I'm not all that worried about it. It will drop down later this afternoon like it did yesterday. However, I am of course trying to correct it, but it's not working all that well. Lol. December 29, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 5 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 may be harvested later today or tomorrow morning. She is just about done. But I want to see how much more she will finish up in the next day or so with the supplemental lighting. Obviously she won't be getting anymore watering. But I'd like to have her dried up a bit more, which should be later today or tomorrow. I may put her in the dry tent later today and let her have a dark period. Maybe I should wait 2 days. Give her 36 hours of dark before harvest. Number 2 should enjoy the supplemental lighting. However, now that it's on and lighting up the whole lower canopy, there are bud sites with branches that have no budlets on them. I really want to remove them. But I'll just let everything go as it is. The goal is to allow the under canopy to mature at the same rate as the upper canopy. I don't think it will do anything with the lower part of the plant. I also noticed that the majority of the leaves are drooping pretty hard. I wonder if that's due to lack of light. We shall see. She doesn't need water today, but tomorrow she will need a top feed and a reservoir refill. She's definitely drinking over a gallon a day now. Cola formation is perfect. They are come shaped and DENSE. The aroma is getting fairly strong now. At least, it's catching up to Gorilla Cookies 1. Sweet, spicy and minty coming off of her. They colas are also leaning a bit more today. So much weight coming on. I honestly can't wait for her to be alone in the tent. The lower lighting will cover the all of the lower lights without anything blocking the light. Update: I decided instead of harvesting today or tomorrow, Gorilla Cookies 1 will spend 2 days in the dry tent for a dark period. Then I will harvest. Also, I spent about an hour combing through the many many branches of Gorilla Cookies 2. I found a bunch of dead fallen leaves. Some that were dying and even a few that were so over lapped they were crushing each other against the SCroG net. So all of that (not much really) came off. I wonder how long the supplemental lighting will take to show a difference in the lower canopy. And what difference will it show? Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 52.7% VPD: 1.32 kPa December 30, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 6 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is in her second day of dark. Tomorrow I'll be harvesting her. Nothing else to report. Number 2 is smashing. Her lower section is still droopy like it doesn't have enough of something. I thought it was light. Maybe it's something else? Or maybe I'm being impatient. Either way, she still has some time left to go. 3 to 4 weeks I'd say. She got her full gallon top feed as well as a reservoir refill. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally dumped 10 ml of Overdrive in one of the gallons. That one went in the reservoir. I probably should have top fed it. Oh well, too late now. Although, I didn't have any dead leaves today. At least nothing I could see. Maybe the light is doing something. Making the leaves stronger, which if I'm correct, also strengthens the bud production. There won't be much down there, but it's definitely better than leaving it as it was. Maybe I'll get an extra half oz out of these little buds. Who knows. Update: I ended up finding some dead leaves in Gorilla Cookies 2 after all. Not too many. So now another day of cleaned up Beasty beast. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 50.7% VPD: 1.34 kPa December 31, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 7 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Harvest Day! And the last day of 2023! We have a 22 oz wet weight whole plant. Not too sure of the total outcome, but I'm thinking 10% weight retention. So 2.2 oz. Dried and trimmed bud. Who knows, maybe I'll get 15% and have a half decent yield of 3.3 oz. Honestly, I should have waited for midnight, but she needed to be harvested for time purposes. I have another plant coming in the dry tent in a few days to a week. I'm hoping I can stretch it out for the week, but I won't be able to wait for Number 1 to dry. Just too much time. I'm thinking a nice 10 day dry. I set the ambient room temperature to 70°. So that should drop the dry tent down about 6°. I'm hoping for a dry temp of 64° or less and the RH to be around 55%. She has some pretty dense top colas, and I cut them off after the weight check. That should help the whole plant dry at the same time. I left most of it intact. Just the 3 tallest colas. Now there's more room in the plant for air, but also plenty of space for those large colas to dry. And they should dry quite nicely. Number 2 looks pretty good. I didn't find any dead leaves. One dying leaf I pulled off, but nothing else. So maybe the supplemental lighting is actually doing something. I don't expect the leaves to really recover from the damage, but at least maybe perk up a bit. Again, I'm not expecting a ton of difference. Just enough to keep the lower canopy as dense as the upper canopy. The lower part of the plant, is more like a lost cause. I should have cleaned up the small budlets as they popped up. Oh well. Nothing to do now but wait and see what she turns out like. I'm not all that worried. The small amount of lower plant growth is minimal compared to the actual canopy which is magnificent. She'll be needing a watering later on today. Definitely a very thirsty plant. She's around 18% soil saturation content. I normally water at no less than 15%. So later today it is. Her colas are getting so dense it's insane. She still hasn't started really swelling yet either. I expect that to start in the next week or so. Also, the worry about foxtails seems to be unnecessary. IF there is any foxtailing, it won't be much or if there's a lot, it won't matter. The buds are already so dense, anything else is just bonus weed. Still, foxtails are a pain in the ass to trim, so let's hope for none. The only cola I'm really concerned about is the tallest one. It's definitely too close to the light. Also, I'm not seeing any stress from the supplemental lighting. I guess there's just enough. I honestly had a feeling that the top light just isn't bright enough to penetrate through the whole canopy. So the tops are getting plenty, but the actual plant may not have been getting enough. Now, that's should be fixed. Again, I see no stress whatsoever. If I notice any, I can just turn the lights down. They are at full blast now, but they aren't nearly as powerful as the main grow light. Still very nice though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 47.8% VPD: 1.40 kPa January 1, 2024 Day 118 Happy New Year! Strawberry Gorilla: Day 8 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Day 1 Drying I have a tray of water on the bottom of the tent with an oscillating clip fan blowing gently over it. It's keeping the RH between 50% and 53%. Temperature is hovering around 65°. Everything looks good. Number 2 is now really starting to swell those colas up. It was visibly noticable this morning. Not to mention the outer colas are all leaning further and further over. They are over the end of the ScrOG net up front, touching the. Far side wall and nearly touching the front of the tent. The supplemental light seems to be doing something. the lower bud sites are starting to look healthy and getting a deeper green color on what's left of the healthy leaves. I think I caught the very end of when the supplemental lights are useful for growth. Now it's just maturing and a final week of nutrients... I think. I'm cutting off the nutrients when I see 50% cloudy trichomes. There should be plenty of orange pistils by then. In which case, won't be for another week or two. Man, these colas are going to be massive! No watering today. Most definitely tomorrow morning. Update: I decided to lower the light intensity to 30%. The PPFD is around 750 now. So that should help prevent the potential foxtailing. I'm not really sure if that will stress her out at all. I don't think it will though. I'll be checking on her daily to see her reaction. I've read light stress can cause 3 finger fan leaves. In my case, there was a point where the light became too bright during the early flowering stage and caused some of these 3 fingered leaves. It seems to have fixed in some spots where the light was raised high enough to fix it in time other places it stopped when the leaves stopped growing. Some of the leaves are facing away from the light. With this current intensity, the leaves should level out and even start to reach a bit. Not sure how long it will take. I read it can take up to 2 weeks to recover. I'm not sure how stressed the majority of the plant was though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 46.3% VPD: 1.45 kPa January 2, 2024 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 9 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1: Day 2 Drying Number 2 is her beastly self. She got a top feed today. No need for the reservoir to be topped off yet. So, I'm not seeing any difference in the lower light intensity yet. Maybe some of the leaves straightened out, but no reaching or anything like that. The supplemental lighting is doing something. Although the buds down below are tiny, they are weighing down the branches they are on. Still nothing great, but it will definitely be good in the trim bin. I'm sure they will have plenty of trichomes on them. Perfect for gathering kief. Her top colas are also doing quite well. They are super dense and heavy. Swelling continues. Not much difference from last night, but still plenty of time to get massive. I'm also starting to see signs of orange pistils here and there. Which means we are on point. Three or so weeks left until harvest. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 45.2% VPD: 1.47 kPa
