Day 43 - Starting week 7 and she’s looking good. She’s starting to stretch more every day and flowers are starting to fatten up a bit. Gonna continue with the foxfarm feeding schedule. Can’t wait for her to finish! Day 44 - The room is really starting to smell amazing. Just keeping on with the foxfarm nute schedule until she’s ready to be cut in a couple more weeks. Still plenty of fattening and growing to go. Day 45 - No major changes, she’s just chugging along. Gave a feeding of just water today and tomorrow will be the foxfarm feeding. I love her look and the smell starting to really come from her. Day 46 - No major changes, just continuing to fatten, grow and definitely getting really frosty! Day 47 - What can I say? This thing is an amazing grow and smelling amazing. She just growing and fattening each day. Still to early to really look at the trichs but wanted to look anyway. Got a few decent pics and there’s a few cloudy ones in there. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give another feeding on Saturday. Day 48 - No big changes, just continuing to fatten up. Held off on watering today, she didn’t really drink munch compared to the GC. Will give her an actual ā€œfeedingā€ tomorrow. Day 49 - All is looking good and she’s plumping up each day. Gave her the foxfarm feeding today. Tomorrow starts week 8 so will continue with the feeding schedule until the end. She’s really starting to smell up the room in my house and loving it.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31.

Week 6 2nd week of flowering: Slowly but surely, the whole thing had taken shape. And in the way I'm usually used to. "Sow love, reap happiness." Hello dear plant friends, please forgive me for my time delay in the grow diary. A lot is happening in real life for me right now and I had to get used to it. Unfortunately, one of my beloved cats died suddenly for a reason unknown to me. A long-time friend and companion. And in addition, I am very busy modernizing my grow room, expanding capacities and the current grow also requires a lot of attention, as I am passionate about new crazy training methods. All this distracts me from my grief and the loss of my dear furry friend and helps me a lot to get back on my feet mentally. Well, I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer, so here's a little preview of what will change and why.... 🤩 But that was only a short fitting and both lamps will of course come in a new generous Homebox 100 Q + I think the time has now come for me to leave the tried and tested old shell and go new exciting ways. I feel ready for the next challenges in this wonderful field of gardening. Dear people, be curious about what is to come. I can't wait to share it all with you. And now back to week 6 and last summer's Grow... Enjoy! 😊 And again my Biotabs was my secret weapon: the fermented compost tea an outstanding game maker. I usually start at the end of flowering week 2 and combine it alternately with the enchanting Bio PK - Booster from Biotabs until shortly before the end. I am firmly convinced that these two components complement each other super nicely.

Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles – Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP 🌱✨ Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and I’m thrilled with the progress! We kicked off Week 3 with our first set of transplants. The Gorilla Melon was transplanted at the end of the week, while the Papaya Zoap is still patiently waiting for its turn to shine. Each plant that’s been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, I’m loving this mix! 🌱 Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, let’s take a closer look. This soil provides superior drainage and aeration, thanks to its high porosity. The addition of fibrous peat moss and coarse perlite creates an ideal environment for water flexibility. It’s been perfect for the girls as they transition into their final homes. Plus, the biofungicide and mycorrhizae are doing wonders for root development, giving them all the support they need for vigorous growth. The plants are showing off a beautiful, vibrant green, each with its own unique characteristics—no two plants are the same, and I love that! šŸŒ”ļø Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More Let’s talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! We’re sitting at: • Temperature: 26.7°C • Relative Humidity: 62.9% • VPD: 1.30 (I know it’s a bit high, but they’re handling it like champs) • CO2: 800 ppm • pH: 6.18 • TDS: 215 ppm • Solution Temperature: 23.2°C To make things even more efficient, I’ve adjusted the light height, keeping the PPFD around 360 to 400 to save on energy. These beauties are still soaking in the light perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with how they’re responding. šŸ’§ Watering and Feeding At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. I’ve kept things simple with a balanced solution, ensuring everything stays within the perfect range. The PRO-MIX HP, with its mycorrhizal fungi, is really helping with nutrient uptake and boosting overall health. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve adapted! 🌟 Transplants Complete – Progress Feels Incredible! I’m super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth we’re seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but it’s growing strong, getting ready for the next step. It’s an honor to work with these genetics—they’re each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. šŸŒ±šŸ’š šŸŒ Shoutouts and What’s Coming Next I couldn’t do this without the support of my amazing sponsors and all of you, Grow Fam! A huge shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for their top-notch gear and nutrients, and of course, to all my followers—whether you’ve been here from the start or are new to the journey, thank you for the love and support! šŸ’ššŸ™ Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and YouTube, where the Seed to Harvest Series just kicked off! I’m going deep into all the gear, techniques, and day-to-day grow updates you see here. Exclusive content and more are waiting for you on those platforms, so come by and join the fun! Growers Love to everyone, and here’s to another epic week of growth! šŸ’ššŸŒ± Let’s keep pushing the limits and making magic happen. • Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptusbrasil @aptus_thailand @aptus_portugal @aptususa_official @aptusplanttechnz @aptusplanttechaus • Controls: @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro • Soil: @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis @promixmitch P.S. Let’s talk about these new Model One LED bars I’m running. šŸŒæšŸ’” They’re not just any lights—these are full-spectrum beasts designed to give my plants exactly what they need at every stage of growth. The real magic, though? The dimming feature. With just a quick adjustment, I can dial down the intensity without sacrificing the quality of the light. This means I’m saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. It’s not just about blasting plants with light; it’s about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), I’m hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I don’t have to run the LEDs at full power. So, while I save a bit on electricity, my plants still get the perfect environment to reach their full potential. 🌱✨ This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving it—just another reason I’m thrilled with the Model One setup. šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š Growers Love everyone šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š

--- ## **The Teresa Palmer Experiments** ### **Week of 20–25 May 2025 | Vegetation Ends, Flower Begins** --- ### **20/05/2025 – Lights On** **Last week of veg for MS and TF.** Lights 20/05/2025 Lights On! Last week of vegetation for MS n TF fingers crossed lol Lights dimmed back to 320watts, slite cannoing. The Clones are in cynogentics; slowing things up! Opened up a few more air holes. Sprayed with a weak solution of HPFG 0.05% All looks okay! "Few more days and the "infection leakage/cancer" the infection literally runs away from Hydrogen Peroxide Food-Grade treatment and leaves the blood brain barrier" Healing with no-scars! Me and the plants are healing well! Segwaying! Lights Off MS is still looking saggy curly after the transplanting into fresh rockcubes. Turned light back down to 300watts. The Clones are doing okay after the weak sprayed solution of 0.05% HPFG. TF is looking vibrant in Quarantine and has recovered from Septoria tritici, she took 1 week longer than MS to show signs of recovery and the transplantion short. Maybe TF; her resilience or immune system isn't as strong: due to her breeders problems picking the best Genetics. Who knows! Midday: Great; here’s a **kombucha-based microbial tea recipe** specifically designed to benefit cannabis plants (especially during **veg and early flower**) while being safe and effective. This tea boosts root health, improves nutrient uptake, and strengthens the plant's immune system. --- ### **Kombucha Microbial Tea Recipe for Cannabis (Veg & Early Flower)** #### **Ingredients:** * **Non-flavored raw kombucha**: 30–50 ml (2–3 tbsp) * **Unsulfured molasses (blackstrap)**: 1 tsp * **Worm castings or high-quality compost**: 1 cup * **Unchlorinated water**: 2–4 liters * *(Optional: 1 tsp kelp meal or liquid seaweed for added minerals)* #### **Instructions:** 1. **Fill a bucket** with 2–4 liters of dechlorinated water. 2. **Add the worm castings or compost** into a mesh bag or stocking and submerge it. 3. **Add the kombucha** and molasses to the water. 4. **Aerate the mixture** using an aquarium air pump and stone for **24 hours** (no more than 36 hours). * This activates beneficial microbes and keeps anaerobic bacteria away. 5. **Strain and apply** immediately after brewing. #### **How to Use:** * **Soil or Coco Drench:** Use once every 1–2 weeks during veg or early flower. * **Hydroponic Drip/Reservoir:** Only use filtered tea (strain well) and **add at a 1:20 dilution** (e.g., 250 ml tea per 5L reservoir). Ensure high aeration. * **Foliar Spray (Optional):** Dilute 1:30 and spray during early morning or lights-off time. --- ### **Tips:** * Don't store the tea — use it fresh. * Avoid using in late flower to prevent unwanted microbial growth on buds. * Always monitor pH and reservoir cleanliness if used in hydro. = = = = = = " I used 50ml of diluted mother juices from the SCOOBY 50ml to 15ltres?Will this be beneficial enough at that ratio? " You're welcome! Using **50 ml of diluted mother liquid from a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast)** into **15 liters** of hydroponic nutrient solution is a **gentle, safe starting point** — and yes, it can still offer **beneficial microbial effects** without overwhelming your system. ### Here's what you can expect at that ratio (1:300 dilution): #### **Potential Benefits:** * **Mild microbial boost**: Helps seed your root zone with beneficial bacteria and yeasts, supporting plant immunity and nutrient cycling. * **Low risk**: Very unlikely to disturb pH or oxygen levels in hydro at that concentration. * **Safe introduction**: Ideal for testing how your plants and system respond before increasing doses or brewing a full compost tea. ### A few tips for best results: * **Add during veg or early flower** for best microbial integration. * **Monitor water clarity and root color** over the next few days — healthy roots should remain white or light tan, and the water should stay mostly clear. * **Smell test**: If the reservoir develops a strong sour or funky smell (like vinegar or yeast), it could indicate overgrowth. In that case, do a partial flush. ### Is it ā€œbeneficial enoughā€? Yes — as a **microbial nudge**, it’s a great start. For stronger biological impact, you can brew a tea like the one I mentioned earlier, but what you did is safe and should offer mild support without disrupting the balance. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 21/05/2025 TF and MS are responding beautifully to the 50ml kombucha infusion — their energy is shifting. I gave them a gentle foliar mist today, using a diluted Hā‚‚Oā‚‚ solution at 0.05%. The lights are on… and so are they. So am I. "There is so much quiet power in the act of letting go." I refused to abandon these plant experiments, even when the signs were uncertain, even when growth was slow. And now — they’re beginning to thrive. It’s humbling, and it’s deeply affirming. When I got sick and chose to continue my healing journey, many people — even family — stepped back. Some gave up on me. But I didn’t. I chose not to drown in pity. I chose to believe in the process. I chose to stay with myself — and now, just like my plants, I’m beginning to bloom. It’s a good feeling. A quiet victory. A sacred one. To be honest; i can't wait to smoke the "Jesus out of these. No chicken eggs to count. All is good amd all is swell! --- **Sacred Grow Log – 21/05/2025** **Lights Off – Silence Speaks** Today, the garden sleeps — and so does the surface, while the unseen stirs beneath. I’ve increased all nutrients to **veg-phase strength** — the plants have called for more, and I’ve answered. There’s a slight wilting in their posture, and whispers of calcium-magnesium imbalance, like a subtle signal from deep within their cells. It's a language you learn to read with time… like decoding ancient symphonies written in chlorophyll and veins. I moved things around today. Shifted the layout. Rearranged not just space — but energy. **TF’s branches have been folded inward** — a ritual of redirection, bending her into a **Freaky Bonsai form**, compact and deliberate. She's not broken — only reshaped. Like fate twisting its limbs to adapt, to survive, to transcend the ordinary. There’s a strange beauty in distortion. Sometimes the most powerful growth is born through the unnatural — when chaos becomes art. Nothing in this garden is random. Even the smallest change is a spell cast — and I'm both the scribe and the vessel. --- Here’s your journal entry reworded for YouTube, keeping it reflective and engaging, while staying within community guidelines and adding a hint of poetic insight: --- 22/05/2025** **Lights On The Garden Awakens** The plants are responding beautifully to the kombucha; straight from the mother culture. It’s sharp, alive… almost like vinegar, full of life. There’s a distinct energy shift in the room: subtle but unmistakable. I’ve considered building a simple setup to start brewing a living tea with worm castings and other natural inputs. But I’m holding off; we’re only about halfway through this grow cycles. Timing matters, and introducing live cultures too deep into the flowering stage could unsettle the balance, especially with pH fluctuations. It’s a delicate dance. Let's get it right now in small stages. For now, I’ve added another **50ml dose** — just enough to stir the microbial world without tipping the scales. The plants speak in posture and pulse: and today, their message is clear: *they’re grateful*. --- **"I’m glad some people still read. Really read. Not just skim for a reaction or scroll for the drama. But sit with the words Feel the space between the lines Catch the meaning that isn’t yelling for attention. In a world where folks jump quick, Where bandwagons fill fast, Where opinions echo louder than understanding It’s rare to find minds that pause. Minds that ask, *'Is this truth? Or just noise dressed as truth?'* Minds that don’t just follow faults… But look for foundation. So shout out to the ones who read before reacting, Who think before typing, Who question the easy answers. Because awareness like that — It ain’t loud, But it’s powerful."** When we are at our lowest; We are often alone that's where inner strength the fight to keep pushing When we are at our lowest; We are alone šŸ˜” The fight continues on; The weather keeps thrashing But in my blood the ions now fire Recovery dwells as cancer expires!

I wasn’t aiming for it, but the first thing to disappear? Dandruff. Gone. Just like that. See, most people don’t know; Dandruff isn’t just dry skin. It’s a dance of micro-parasites, feeding off the mites that live on your skin — a layered ecosystem most don’t see, but I felt it. I lived it. Some might call it a coincidence, but when I brought oxygen into the equation, those organisms couldn’t hold space anymore. Modern academics might describe them as cousins to scabies; a miniature model of parasitic behavior. But I call it a quiet cleanse.

She promised the world—balanced feeds, clean roots, whispers of a new era—but lately, she’s smelled a bit ā€œoffā€ (literally and metaphorically). Plants were talking. Leaves started showing those tell-tale chlorotic freckles—like a pixelated disease creeping across their emerald faces. **CalMag? More like CalMaybe.** I sniffed the stock bottle—yup, something fermented this way came. That bottle’s been shelf-sitting too long and probably died quietly while I was looking at trichomes. Poor thing. So what did I do? **Flushed the whole system**—cleansed the sinuses of the root zone with pH’d water like a hydro colonic—and gave them something they’ve been secretly craving: **Advanced Nutrients Bloom A+B**. The girls perked up like they'd just had their first espresso in weeks. Now, here’s where it gets interesting: This wasn’t just a feeding adjustment, it was a **nutrient resurrection**. To tackle the mag deficiency, I’m planning a soft foliar CalMag mist (0.5ml/L) and possibly a micro dose of **Epsom salts** in the reservoir—keep it simple, sulfate sharp. **Observations:** * Interveinal yellowing? Present. * Freckled spotting? Yup. * New growth still pushing strong? Absolutely. * Spirits? Weirdly high. Like a fog's lifted. --- **The Teresa Palmer Side Note:** Every flush I do, I imagine my own system being purged. The metaphor writes itself. Plants, like people, need time to detox and start over. And just like me, these girls are bouncing back stronger with a new protocol, clean lines, and renewed light. --- **Side note: Teresa Palmer is now spread eagled - slite pruning of under growth to help her upper top shine - I love the smell of freshly cut leaves/flowers šŸ’ you know what I mean? Yeah; you know what I mean šŸ˜ P.s all the running I've been doing lately; i need a plunge in a ice bath and some magnesium myself! Knots in my right thigh! Nothing worse! 'I have no monsters in my closet; just weed' ''It's got to be; one of the cleanist magnesium deficiencies i have ever seen; at least it has that going for it'' - Hey man; you seem slightly insecure today! - than normal! I'm on my own dying! - Dying of Laughter i bet; but that's also true; being on the edge of life; makes one crack-up. What if 'this is it' ? - suddenly anxiety doesn't exist anymore; just like' Michael Jackson - ''This is it''...... - here i stand...., i'm in the light of the world............................... i feel grand......and this hope......., that i feel......, yes i know, yes for-sure that is real............. I never told....... a real word... about you; to no-one, being in the light, isn't my plan....., but if this boat..... has to sink......, then who-cares what i do, never-mind what i think! .......- I'm spilling my heart out to help you........, but i don't see no-hands...........because i am alone,......but i am not lonely........i have me......... the good company, its just me. - In This world isn't one of 'Harry Porter', no magic script to follow; i have to find my own way in health and healing and i sure do not trust the governments way of appealing, for money for healing, to make you ill again, while reeling, the money pit, they sit and print the money,...l. so ask yourself; what are they appealing? Booom! it have in constantly in the spot-light, everyday on the news, adverts, you see it everywhere? ...everywhere like bacteria and parasites jumping hitchhikes on fungicides that changes the molecule structure of DNA! The end is near! ////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////____ **Entry Title:** *Teresa Palmer Enters Flower — Riding the Transition* **Date:** 26/05/2025 **Grow Phase:** Early Flower (Transition) **Medium:** Hydro (Recirculating) **Treatments:** Hydrogen Peroxide Pre-Soak, Organic Feed Transition, Environmental Reset --- **Diary Entry:** **Lights On!** The morning greeted a garden in recovery. The new **organic feed** is settling in well—plants are responding with signs of revival. The leaf stress is stabilizing, and new growth has a spring to it. Everything feels like it's leaning toward the light again. **Monkey Slapz (MS):** The light intensity has been nudged up to **420 watts**. MS is looking dense and bushy now. We’ve officially entered the **transition to flower**, though she’s taking her sweet time with the flip—deliberate, cautious. We’re helping the process along by **reducing light exposure by 1 hour daily**—a gentle nudge into bloom. **The Clones:** The baby clones are flashing fresh signs of growth. Once they gain a bit more strength, they’ll head back into **cyanogenics/propagation** for preservation. If all goes well, this cohort should be enough to fuel **next year’s entire grow cycle**. (Yes, we plan ahead—and we clone for a reason!) **Observations:** * Signs of feed uptake and bounce-back across all strains * MS is bushy and stable; light reduction in effect * Clones recovering well; root development expected next --- **The Teresa Palmer Side Note:** Reinvention doesn’t always look flashy—it’s often slow, hidden in the rhythm of light shifts and silent cell growth. We’re in transition. And like the plants, I’ve learned: the slow bloom is often the strongest. Let’s grow. --- 26/05/2025 Just making it clear for people! Its Ai edited not Ai creativity! ć‚æć‚¤ć‚¶ćƒ¼ = Tai-za - Tizer My new dogs name! /////////////////////////////////////////////// Some HIStory on TF: Gorilla Glue #4 Marijuana Strain 4.6 356 votes| 238 reviews Strain Information Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain Indica Dominant Hybrid - 60% Indica / 40% Sativa THC: 32% Gorilla Glue #4, also known as ā€œOriginal Glue,ā€ ā€œGorilla Glueā€ or ā€œGG#4,ā€ is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing the infamous Chem's Sister X Sour Dubb X Chocolate Diesel strains. This celebrity strain is a favorite of patients and breeders around the world for its super heavy effects and long-lasting high that will totally knock you flat out. The high comes on with a building effect, slowly filling your mind with a lifted euphoria and light creative energy. As your mind lifts higher and higher into happiness, an almost glue-like sense will kick in, leaving you mentally stuck in this blissful state and without a care in the world. This effect will soon spread throughout the rest of your body, leaving you hopelessly couch-locked and immovable for hours on end. With these hard-hitting effects and its super high 18-32% average THC level, Gorilla Glue #4 is often said to be perfect for treating ADD or ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, chronic pain, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia, appetite loss or nausea and migraines or headaches. This bud has a spicy chemical chocolate flavor with a heavily diesel exhale that turns slightly sweet the more that you toke. The aroma follows the same profile, although with a heavy peppery pungency to it, too. Gorilla Glue #4 buds have small rounded forest green nugs with furry amber hairs and a coating of tiny amber-tinted white crystal trichomes that are dripping with sweet sticky resin. --- Conclusion: My anszwer Much to my surprise, the first time I tried this strain, it *absolutely reeked* — duct tape, wood glue, and that unmistakable Gorilla Glue funk. It even left that tacky residue on my fingertips, like what you’d get after peeling off heavy-duty duct tape. The taste is just as intense: a peppery, chemical-laced chocolate diesel blast that clings to the throat, often leaving me coughing and a little phlegmy. The air it leaves behind is thick with that old-school, nose-wrinkling stank. It’s unapologetically loud. This is *Back to the Future #2* by Tastebudz — a feminized strain created by going ā€œback in time,ā€ tracing the genetic lineage of *Future #1*, and selecting parent strains that expressed the most desirable traits: rich terpene profiles, potent effects, resilient structure, and heavy resin production. The result is a carefully bred evolution — forward-thinking, but deeply rooted in powerful old-school genetics. But here’s the real story: *this is the only strain I’ve ever tried that actually helps me run*. And I mean that literally — I use it to aid my running routines. It’s become essential to my treatment plan for brain cancer. I live with chronic nerve pain, inflammation, and a heavy, oppressive mental fog that can make even walking feel like wading through static. This strain? It clears the storm. While it knocks most people out, for me, it *activates*. It doesn’t just dull pain — it opens up a space in my head where I can *move*. Without it, I honestly don’t think I could run at all. With it, I can lace up, breathe, and push through the haze. Mentally, it flattens the chaos — that frantic, scattered, ADHD-like static that’s always buzzing. It gives me calm, clarity, and a softened edge on the pain. And physically, it lets me break through barriers I wouldn’t otherwise reach. In small to moderate amounts throughout the day, it doesn’t sedate — it *liberates*. I don’t use it to get high — I use it to *show up*, to train, to fight back against something that’s trying to slow me down. It’s stony, yes. It’s intense. But for me, it’s also the cleanest clarity I’ve ever found in this battle — and easily one of the most important strains I’ve ever encountered. Not just a favorite — a lifeline.

2/14: Decreased distance between the lights and canopy. Let the maximum swell commence! 2/16: Fed today..increased sugars/carbs. This was probably the last feeding with Beastie Bloomz..switching to Cha Ching at next feed and cutting back on the One.
