42Fast Buds - Gorilla Zkittlez Auto 🌱 Today marks 70 days, and it's finally time to bring this incredible journey to an end. 💫 Honestly, I can hardly bring myself to cut her down, I've grown so attached to her, and she's just so beautiful. But the trichomes have turned a deep amber, and there's no more time to wait. For the last 6 days, we’ve been flushing her roots with ice-cold water, watching as she transformed, her colors changing and becoming even more stunning. It wasn’t just a grow – it was a true process of evolution. I want to give a huge thanks to 42FAST Buds for their amazing genetics and for allowing me to grow such a phenomenal strain. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is an absolute masterpiece! 💥 Special thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their incredible fertilizers and ongoing support. Without you, we wouldn’t have achieved these remarkable results. You helped grow not just a plant, but a true work of art! 🌟

10.06 - I planted 11 Savage seeds and 10 OG Lemonade seeds for germination. I use a heat propagator, a few drops of hydrogen dioxide for disinfection, and a few drops of clonex. 12.06 - Tommorow all will sprout and I will put them into the 1,5L pot! 13.06 - 21 / 21 Sprouted all in the pots. I add 700g Earth Vibe Soil from Lurpe Solution for 50L of Soil. 14.06 - I'm waiting for them. This time is always full of stress. It will appear or no ? :P I add some my genetics to help them :P. 18.06 - I hope that till tomorrow they will all show up and I can start a first veg week. 22.06 - For this moment I have a 19/21. I accidentally damaged it with my hunger-shaking hand. remember to get to work on germination and cuttings after you have eaten. Now I waiting for leafs and switching on first Veg week.

Another push this week in her stretch, growing tall now in the growbox and it's because she is making place for her big fat buds that she is growing. This week also marks the appearance of more thrichomes and a more intense sour Diesel + flowery smell.

All good, buds are packing on weight. Feeding will be 3 times this week, afterwards it should be enough nutrients in the soil till finish. Smell is getting stronger, i like the scent! It’s not skunky more fruity and minty. I removed the lower fanleaves. Maybe I will cut the Upper fanleaves at the end of the week. We will see. I will update over the week. Humidity over nights is constantly above 80% currently. I have no idea how to get the Lady in a more dry environment… so this is a real test concerning her mold resistance… And the hours of direct sunlight are going down towards 4h soon… it is a race against time… Wednesday: today it’s windy. Added a video. Friday: a lot of pollen from the trees around in my buds… maybe I will try to pick the shit out of my beautiful flowers… The buds getting bigger… maybe i will harvest end of next week to reduce the risk of mold….

Veo que las plantas avanzan lentamente pero seguro, tengo buenas sensaciones. Hay 8 puntas por cada planta.

On day 169 I did the final flush on both ladies. I went through about 6 gallons per lady. The final runoff measured at around 400 PPM. Right around where I wanted to be. In my previous grows I did not flush as thoroughly, I'll see if I can even tell any difference and if it's worth it. I started the 48 hour period of darkness of day 171 (flower for 72 days). I chopped and hung the buds on day 173. I expect it to take about 7 days for the stems to start snapping when bent. Wanda weighed in at 659 grams on harvest day with stems and leaves. Wilma weighed in at 731 grams on harvest day with stems and leaves. I am estimating I'll end up harvesting and jarring over 15% of the bud wet weight. So around 200 grams. I ended up trimming all the large fan leaves before I hung the flowers to dry. My hands got very sticky while just handling the stems and cutting leaves. Will update once the buds are dry and I've tried some of the bud. Can't wait!

Este exprimento 4 en 1 me encanta. No puedo creer el tamaño de esta planta con solo 2 semanas de vegeta. Lo seguiré haciendo sin duda. Caminan sanas y a buena velocidad. Durante la semana les puse una cama extra se sustrato, pues al inicio tenía baja espectativa con ellas y hasta con la cantidad de sustrato fui egoísta. Buenos humos a todos

Now we are up todate with the grow, I'll keep you posted as I go that way the diary won't look so shit lol but as for today we are on Schedule to a nice harvest

Finally flower. They are 4 feet now. What am I going to do? I don't want them to burn into the light.

Flattened canopy a little by bending and gently cropping stems over several days. Dropped hours of light to 16 and switched to a spectrum more suited to flowers. Will give her one more week to prepare and develop. INFINITY Dodecahedron is the only platonic solids that has infinite numerical pathways. The Aether. Saturday I switched to 12, I forgot for a second this strain is 100% Sativa, I thought she wouldn't stretch much because the PPFD was high. Never noticed such an obvious change in temperament from a plant overnight, it has been a sleepy, lazy leaf veg cycle for the most part, there are no signs of flowers yet ofc, but just the way she exploded into a more satellite disciplined formation, ITS TIME, so it begins, no turning back now....... my poor electricity bill.

Watering with plain water. Just waiting for milky trichomes. 💪

Finally, I found the time to finish the report. Thanks for joining me!

:)

Day 15: All plants are showing excellent vigor and healthy green leaf color. Zero signs of nutrient burn or stress after the first light feeding. Leaves are perky and showing great turgor pressure. Feeding & Watering Strategy: - First mild feeding applied at Day 14. - Water used: Lauretana (very low mineral composition, ph 6.3). - Nutrients: RQS Easy Grow Tablets (30% strength) + RQS Easy Plus Micronutrients (30% strength) to rebalance Ca/Mg profile. - Next watering will be pure water only to ensure no salt buildup in the fabric pots. Genetics update: - Atlas seeds showing high vigor and larger canopy expansion. - Royal Jack following with steady, healthy vegetative development. The little one is also growing very well I also started LST on the two AtlasF1 Day 16: After starting LST on the two Atlas yesterday, I checked the ties again today and eased them a little. The main stems are still bent gently with the green wire and show no cracks. Both plants look healthy: firm green leaves, no tip burn from the Day 14 feed, and side shoots filling in along the nodes. I'll keep easing the wire every day or two in the same direction so the canopy stays flat, and I'll stop once the first pistils appear. Day 17: Top soil was dry, so the three larger plants got plain water ph 6.3 today no nutrients. Climate is on target: 26 °C and 60% RH. I raised the light dimmer to 55–60% at about 38–40 cm above the tops, based on my mid-veg schedule for days 15–21. The two Atlas are responding well to LST: open canopy, side shoots climbing, green leaves, and still no tip burn from the Day 14 feed(a note below about feeding schedule). The established Royal Jack is still smaller than the Atlas but looks healthy and is catching up. The replacement Royal Jack now has its first true leaves, with a bit of light mottling on the cotyledons. I'm leaving the bottle off for stretches of the day and giving it only plain water around the stem Next Easy Grow plus Easy Plus feed is around day 19–20, still at a low dose. **Quick correction to Day 14** Last week I wrote that one Easy Grow tablet (3 g) is for 10 L of water that was wrong and I now realized I spent 4 years believing so. The label is 1 tablet in 3–5 L. So full strength is about 0.6–1.0 g per litre, not 0.3 g/L. The 0.06 g I mixed into 0.7 L was only about 9–14% of real full strength, not the 30% I thought. Next feeds I'll dose against the 3–5 L range. At the next watering, I will also start applying BiggerFlowers at 0.2 ml/l. Day 18: No watering today(besides for the little one that got 75ml of water ph 6.3), since the pots were still moist from yesterday. The two Atlas are really opening up with LST: lots of side shoots climbing toward the light, firm green leaves, and still no tip burn. The Royal Jack is wired down too and starting to take shape. The replacement now has two sets of true leaves, clean and healthy, with no sign of yesterday's light mottling. The light stays at 55–60% at 38–40 cm. The next feed is planned for when the top soil dries, probably tomorrow : Easy Grow plus Bigger Flowers, both at a low dose. Day 19: No watering today either. The soil isn't wet anymore, but it's still a little moist, so I'll wait until tomorrow and let the roots get some oxygen. I readjusted the LST wires on the plants to keep the canopy flat. Everything looks good: healthy green leaves and steady **THE IMPORTANCE OF LETTING THE SOIL DRY** A lot of people think plants need water all the time, so they end up overwatering. I have a friend who still doesn't get why letting the soil dry out matters, and he never managed to grow a single healthy plant through to the end. He also overfed his plants a lot, then quit growing, saying his setup wasn't good enough. It wasn't the setup: which was an “honest” se tup. So this one's for anyone new here: LET YOUR SOUL DRY, and don't overfeed your plants, especially autoflowers! Roots need oxygen just as much as they need water. As the pot drains and dries out, air gets drawn back into the soil, so the roots can breathe and spread out looking for moisture. That's what builds a bigger, stronger root system. When the soil stays wet all the time, the roots sit without oxygen, growth slows, the leaves droop, and you're inviting root rot and fungus gnats. Day 20: Second feed today, a full liter at pH 6.2 with 0.7 g Easy Grow, 0.2 g Easy Plus, 1 ml Bigger Flowers, 4 g Trichoderma and a single drop of Supervit. That's a clear step up from the first feed, which was only around 14% of full strength. I want the plants well fed before the stretch starts, and the Easy Boost in the soil releases slowly, so I'm keeping an eye on the leaf tips over the next few days. The two Atlas are flat and full of side shoots with an even green, the Royal Jack is smaller but healthy and wired, and the replacement is growing slowly with new true leaves. Light is still at 55–60% at 38–40 cm. Day 21: First pre-flowers showing today. The macro shows the first white pistils at the nodes on the Royal Jack, and possibly a few on the Atlas too. They're only just starting, so I'm treating it as the beginning of the transition. The two Atlas are flat and bushy thanks to LST, with lots of side shoots and an even green. There's no tip burn after yesterday's strong feed, which was a full liter at pH 6.2. I'm done with heavy bending now: the wires stay in place, but no new training on the plants that are starting to flower. The replacement is growing steadily with a lively green. Light remains at 55–60% at 38–40 cm. Beginning tomorrow, I will increase the level gradually toward 70–80%, and the following feed will combine a required dose at 50% growth nutrients with 10–15% flowering nutrients.

Boosted with pk and vipars

21/08/2023 I decided to trim the yellow tips on the large leaves because some rather concerning black spots were starting to appear on those yellow areas. I also trimmed the small yellowed leaves (even though they didn't seem to have these black dots) I am very pleased with the outcome of #3, I will now always use LST for my future grows and not ScrOG as I said last week. I don't expect to end up with huge buds due to the lack of fertilizer, which is why I plan to use Root Juice, BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax, and BioHeaven from BioBizz in my next grow. I will also need an oscillating fan, having to move it around to prevent some burns on the leaves is quite annoying. I would like to find one smaller than 15CM, but I don't think it's possible. The only ones in this case are battery-operated and not oscillating. I don't know why the buds of #2 have such long hairs. 25/08/2023 I received my magnifying glass, it's not meant to be put on a phone, but I still managed to take these photos at x60 magnification (I have a x90 magnifying glass, but it's impossible to take good photos with it). You don't see much in some photos at x60 magnification, but like everything else, I will improve over the weeks.

almost

Aficionados French connection. La fais don pour que j’essaie la Spanish blue elephant planter tardivement au mois de juin elle va pas tarder à passer en flo

Removed nearly all big fan leafs to get maximum of light penetration to the lower buds and more airflow to prevent mold. Should have weared gloves because it was a sticky mess :D getting more and more smell. I think i will start filling up the bucket only with clear water for one or two more weeks to flush. Think its harvest time soon. Eventually i will swap the whole solution to clear water coming week. ——————— Nahezu alle großen Blätter entfernt, um den unteren buds so viel Licht wie möglich zu geben. Hätte Handschuhe tragen sollen war auf jeden Fall ne klebrige Sauerei :D Stinkt jetzt langsam auch ordentlich die Pflanze. Denke ich werde die nächsten Wochen nur noch mit klarem Wasser ohne Nährstoffe auffüllen um ein bisschen zu spülen. Denke in ein bis zwei Wochen kann geerntet werden. Eventuell tausche ich auch die ganze Nährlösung gegen klares Wasser aus im Laufe der Woche.
