🇺🇸 Week 9 of Growth – Mother Gorilla 🇺🇸 Hey everyone, we’re back for Week 9 of growth for the Mother Gorilla from Royal Queen Seeds. This week wasn’t great—the plant struggled to recover after the defoliation. I had major pH fluctuations all week, which really slowed down growth. Now at Week 9, I really want to switch to flowering, but the plant isn’t developing well enough. For the past three weeks, things haven’t been going smoothly, and it’s frustrating. This morning, after returning from the weekend, pH had risen to 6.4, which is way too high for hydro at this stage. So I flushed the reservoir and started fresh with a new, properly adjusted nutrient solution. I kept all the nutrients the same, and all other parameters remain unchanged. Now, my main focus this week is keeping the nutrient solution stable so the plant can resume healthy growth. Nothing else to report—just pH fluctuations and slowed growth. The plant really needs to regain strength before flowering, or it’ll be a problem. See you next week! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 9 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla 🇫🇷 Salut tout le monde, on est de retour pour la semaine 9 de croissance de la Mother Gorilla de chez Royal Queen Seeds. Cette semaine n’a pas été top, la plante a eu du mal à récupérer après la défoliation. J’ai eu de grosses fluctuations de pH toute la semaine, ce qui a ralenti la croissance. On est à 9 semaines de croissance, et j’aimerais vraiment passer en floraison, mais la plante ne se développe pas assez bien. Ça fait trois semaines que ça ne se passe pas comme prévu, et c’est frustrant. Ce matin, en rentrant du week-end, le pH était monté à 6,4, ce qui est bien trop élevé pour l’hydro à ce stade. J’ai donc vidé la soupe et préparé une nouvelle solution nutritive ajustée. J’ai gardé les mêmes nutriments, et toutes les constantes restent inchangées. Cette semaine, mon objectif est de stabiliser la solution nutritive pour que la plante puisse reprendre une bonne croissance. Rien d’autre à signaler, à part les fluctuations de pH et le ralentissement. Elle doit vraiment reprendre de la vigueur avant la floraison, sinon ça risque d’être compliqué. À la semaine prochaine ! 🤘😎

Started the girls with some LST to see how they all coped and they bounced back well.

Hello Diary, We have reached the end of the third week of vegetation, which is also the beginning of flowering. Titan F1 started to form flowers which is normal for automatics after 3 weeks of vegetation. Titan F1 has grown really nicely, it is developing nicely, it grew another 10 cm in a week and got a lot of new leaves. I started to feel a slight smell, which also makes me happy :). This week I also did minimal defoliation on all three plants on the Farm, I removed only the lowest leaves to make it easier to water and improve the air flow through the plant itself. When it comes to watering, it is not frequent, about every 4 days. This week I added one tablet of Easy grow booster. The conditions on the farm are excellent I would say, the temperature is around 26 degrees while the humidity is around 50%. Here's how it looked this week. 16/05/2023 - Day 17. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and dissolved one Easy Grow tablet and with that amount of water I watered all three plants equally. 19/05/2023 - Day 20. First, I did a minimal defoliation, removing only the bottom leaves to make watering easier and improve air flow through the plant a bit. After that I watered all three plants. 20/05/2023 - Day 21. Measuring the height of the plants and taking photos at the end of the third week. Titan F1 - 36 cm. That's all for this week, see you soon. Thank you all for your support and comments.

Day 34/35 ladies lookin great, iam feedin em more now acid dough in the front and black domina in the back always lookin for the right topping but not top them too much tryin to tie them down a lil and did some supercropping

Transplanted everything a few days after the last diary into 5 gallon air pots. Started a cover crop and added some mulch after everything sprouted. Began training week 4. I’m intending on keeping 4 max inside the tent. Will be Peanut butter breath, Dragons Blood Hashplant, Afghani, and Velvet Krush. Other 4 x2 pbb 1xDBHP and one unknown bag seed will be going outdoors soon.

This week I started the OG SPRING. I never used this technique before but it looks pretty cool hopefully it works.

Once again these girls don’t really need much just watering when dry but other than that we are on cruise mode. I have been checking trichomes for about a week now and man is she almost there I should be giving them lights out with in another week or two can’t wait

These girls are doing well still. Responded well to their training and recovered from their topping. All is well but haven't watered in a week. They just don't need it!

this week 20 gallons of ro water armor si 50ml cal-mag 60ml hydrogaurd 40ml flora micro 100ml flora gro 100ml flora bloom 100ml transition week low stress training

i harvested second part this week. the rest will be harvested in about a week. Buds turned out beautifully. Great Colours and great smell. My best Autoflower so far. Terps are dark and red Berrys combined with some floral Rose aroma. Super Sticky and as you can see good producer.

These 3 Gelato auto are part of a 30 plant SOG project, in this diary we will only focus on this fantastic strain as you can see, this is Gelato auto by fast buds grown with nothing but FLO (living soil blend) mixed up with the soil and water 💦, let's see what type of flavors we are going to find! Stay tuned for this one! 👨‍🌾❤️💚

Every two weeks using BioEnhancer,wormhumus and homemade compost tea

10/8: 2hours of wet trimming.

The plant has continued to stretch into this week and I don't think it's going to stretch anymore it looks like it's starting to build up their flowers. The plant does not need a lot of nutrients in fact it's not one of those very hungry just a standard diet will be sufficient thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

On the 7th week of flowering, I started rinsing. PH 6.3 The buds are very hard and icy. the total round is rated 8/10 a buds 10/10 I had a 2 day problem with PH. Next week it looks like a harvest, but I'll see by the resin.

After 32 hours we have our first hatch. Temperature is steady at 25 °C and humidity at 80 %.

She is loving life for now! No problems at all in these 10 days, she grows good and seems to like the light a lot, more than my previous plant. In the first 4 days in stretched a little too much but I buried part of the stem and lowered the light. DLI at the moment is 24. I gave her this morning her first micro feeding. 800ml of phd water with 1/5 the dose of BioGrow and CalMag. All is well and I'm very happy of how everything is proceeding. Thanks for stopping by, till next week!
