¡Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We have officially entered Week 12 and the Critical is in its moment of maximum glory. The 40 cm structure is fully loaded with dense and sticky flowers. This week has focused on maintaining stability while the resin finishes covering every corner. 📏 Measurements & Training -Height: 40 cm. Vertical growth has completely stopped, with all energy now focused on the hardness and weight of the buds. -Canopy Management: The defoliation from previous weeks has been a total success. Light penetrates all the way to the base of the branches, and the lower buds are almost as compact as the tops. -Visual Check: Under white light, the plant looks like a scene out of a frozen movie. Trichomes are now mostly milky, and we are starting to see the first amber spots. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: We are maintaining 16°C at night and 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: I remain faithful to watering with lukewarm water. In this final phase, keeping the roots comfortable is vital so the plant doesn't shut down and continues maturing the terpenes. -Humidity (RH): Controlled at 40%. With the density the buds have now, I'm not taking any risks with mold or fungi. 💧 Watering & Organic Strategy -Nutrient Strategy: Final doses of Biobizz: Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 3ml, and Top-Max 1ml per liter. The plant is consuming its own nitrogen reserves, which is noticeable in the natural fading of the leaves. -Pest Control: The cinnamon has kept the substrate impeccable until the end. Zero insects throughout the entire flowering cycle. 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -Pure snow! ❄️ The aroma is now an explosive mix of sweet citrus and damp earth. The density is amazing to the touch; the buds are hard as rocks. A huge thank you to all the growers who are following this diary and for all your support and comments! It's a pleasure to share this journey with such a great community. Happy growing to everyone! 😉👍

The flush begins , Using final flush with water at 21.oC And some defoliating to get light down . Managing to keep temps stable at 23-25 oC with both lights Also added in a mars hydro light Last week and seems to be working well and shown good response from the plants under it

Just keeping on the same routine watered roughly 4 L 2 of 3 days

DÍA 1 - CUARTA SEMANA DE VEGETA (26-05-2022) *Se sigue con el LST (28-05-2022) * Se le aplica una poda selectiva a todas * Tuve un problema de riego con varias * En su día 31 desde q salió del sustrato, de las 6, hay 3 ya que van bien y han sufrido soportaron mejor el estrés, de las otras 3; hay una Banana y una AK que vienen más bajas que todas, de ramas más cortas y distancia internodal corta a comparación de las otras. Después esta la lemon que se viene recuperando muy bien de estrés y fue la que siempre vino más grande y ramificada :) DÍA 7 ÚLTIMA SEMANA VEGETA (01-06-2022) * Último día de la semana de vegetación, ya mañana es su día 1 de flora. * El día de ayer se le regó lo último con Vegalquimia, y se le añadió 1ml de Alquisweet de LAAOS. * Estos últimos 2 días he tenido problema de temperaturas muuuy bajas donde vivo, con luz encendida llegan 20 grados con suerte y luz apagada a 12-13 grados. Estoy tratando de jugar con bajar la humedad pero no la puedo bajar a menos de 55% aprox. Espero ya mañana arreglar ese problema de bajas temperaturas. * Lo que es el cultivo se ve bien dentro de todo. Hay dos enanas que se estresaron en la semana 2 y quedaron pequeñas. A todas se le aplicaron LST, unas resistieron mejor los distintos estrés ya mencionados en semanas anteriores. Pero va bien. * Hay 3 en pre flora, una de ellas en pre flora avanzada y es una de las más enanas.

it was interesting and easy, the variety has a very high potential, the plant has survived both a deficit and an overdose, but she coped well! the effect is pleasant and strong. I recommend an excellent variety for its price!

Into week 6 for these now. Day 44 Both still doing very well. PL is frosting up nicely, the dos si dos though is just a monster, did not anticipate her stretching so much! She’s going to have the tent to herself to finish in about a months time and I’m expecting a good yield from her. Definitely the biggest auto I’ve grown to date. Would of liked the PL to be bigger but the 2 fit in the tent pretty snug. The PL smell is phenomenal🔥 can’t wait to see what the coming weeks bring. Going to start feeding nutrients and then water in a 2:1 ratio. So for every 2 feeds plain pH water after and so forth at half strength, see how they get on. Temp is sitting at about 20c and humidity about 70%. Going to look out my extension lead and get my dehumidifier in today to bring that down. P.S. I messed up the weeks section, just to clarify these are in week 6 from sprout, 3 weeks into flower for the PL, feel like the Dos si dos has just been stretching for 3 weeks! Haha.

Had to change the solution at day 4 because the Ph went up to 6.8 and I still don’t know why. And yes, I see… I need to learn how to make better photos. Got the info nearly every time when I upload. Ok.. ok.. :D

I didn't record the temps this week. I watered these about 3 gallons per pot per day. It was very cool this week. The high temp was averaging upper 50's F. Low temps were upper 30's lower 40's. Day 4 around 6 a.m. the temperature was 26°F and there was heavy frost on the ground. When I check on the plants about 7 a.m. they didn't have frost on them and were fine. These girls really did well. They didn't require and canopy maintenance. I topped way back and never had to tie up the branches or support in any kind of way. They were exposed to really strong wind that laid other plants over and bent branches that didn't recover. I'd recommend these for outdoors. The powdery mildew was manageable and the only maintenance these required. They did want to eat a lot and my wife was managing this by herself. I think we could have fed more and made bigger colas, but they did well regardless. The smell of these is special. They're very loud and have a watermelon note. 🤤🤤🤤

Day 3 of flower & these ladies are stretching great! We are having a bit of a calmag Deficiency right now but currently in the process of trying to fix it so hopefully they bounce back! The Gelato OG from seedsman is a monster to only be 42 days old not sure if I just got a good pheno or what happened but compared to the other gelato beside it from the same bag it looks like a completely different plant! Can’t wait to see how the buds turn out! Happy growing friends!✌️🏼🙏🏼 Day 4 of flower - recharge water at 6.5 Day 5 of flower - ladies are really starting to fill out & stretch, can’t wait to see how this run turns out✌️🏼🌱 Day 7 of flower - Not much to say everything is going great so far! Thanks for following & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱 Day 8 of flower - They are all stretching & growing so much everyday! Couldn’t be happier so far!👍🏼🤙🏼 Day 9 of flower - end of week 7 things seem to be going great so far, fingers crossed we can keep it this way through harvest! Happy growing friends & thanks for watching!✌️🏼🌱

Va tomando forma y masa los cogollos

About that time !!!!

a week passes

This was the last week of flowering and therefore I stopped giving any nutrients for a good FLUSH. This is very important in order to avoid a harsh smoke later when the plants are dried, because any nutrients left in the plant will burn your throat and the weed will hurt while you smoke it. Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and I cant wait to try the dried end-product. All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎

Well this week has been amazing!!! Glad I took the time to flush ab 2.5 gals of ph’d water through each pot. Flushed em 2 days ago and now they are pulling all the green from the leaves and turning yellow and looking very ready to pull down. Literally from yesterday to today they’ve gotten frosty frosty so I’m hoping they let me get ab 2 more flushes (I water ab every 3-4 days) I like to let my pots dry out before I water idk if this is a good practice but I’ve heard you don’t want to make your roots lazy and feed them every time they need it. Make them work for it and they’ll grow strong. Speaking of strong these ladies are throwing some hella strong smells. CANT WAIT!!!! Also my buddy who I got them clones from said the one on the right may be a liberty haze mix bc dude might have mixed up the clones when he did them all 🤦‍♂️🏽 Lol oh well!! I’m a happy camper either way soo much learning!! U till next week hopefully harvest can’t wait to keep y’all in the loops!!!

All plants potted up 1 -4 are all little bit different. Got 2 extras just in case.. Plants #1,#2,#4 are somewhat similar but different #1is nice healthy green, sharply serrated fat round yet pointed leaves tight internodal spacing. #2 is similar yet has magenta color in veins, but still healthy green leaves,and much tighter than #1s internodal spacing. #3 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look. #4 is similar yet less serrated edge softer look, more magenta color in veins and paler green. All are in same potting mix and environment is also same 01/14/2018 New observations on #1 and#2, both are at 4th mode #1 has 5 fingered leaves, #2 has 7fingered leaves.

This was quite the grow y'all. The blumat soaker hose was a great addition... once I figured out why it kept getting stopped up. I can't wait to get another living soil grow going cause that was a lot of fun!

Day 18: They are all looking good. I did a full strength feed at 350 ppm. They got moved into the 4x4 under the sf4000 at 50%. They are between 4 & 5 nodes. I’m going to have to come up with a plan depending on plant structure. I cleared out the other 4x4 with 2 vivosun 600s as overflow if need be. Theres a short squat one and tall slender one and everything in between. Im having trouble dialing in the temps but they’re looking happy so…… Just letting them grow, may do minor training or maybe major haha idk. Happy Growing 🌱 Day 22: moved them to the flower tent, topped, SF4000 at 50% approx 40” above canopy.

4/17: More of the same as usual.......l can only imagine what she would’ve been doing with the needed light instead of 12/12 4/18: For the remaining time until I harvest her in like a week or 2 I’m going to take her out the tent during light off period so she can receive much more needed light

Week 4 for Strawberry Gorilla by Fastbuds She's clearly enjoyed her FPJ feeding that she got, look at the size of her compared to last week.... She may end up larger than Moby dick but i think that would be asking for too much😂 I will be moving her outdoors today most likely maybe tomorrow if i dont have time to do it. If you see in the video shes actually got some fasciation going on where one of my side branches was almost like doubled and ended up topping itself & splitting into 2 😂 Happy with her progress 😁

It is week four of flowering, and the buds are developing as desired. Unfortunately, the weather has been cloudy lately. Temperatures drop to 18°C at night. 🗡️🗡️🗡️ 💚💚💚
