I harvested 2 of the 5 plants on day 71. The other 3 plants got harvested on day 80 and are in the drying process. My inline fan is running on 25% and I got a fan running on the lowest setting on the bottom of the tent, so I doesnt blow on the buds directly.

Helloing👋🏻friends and visitors. Clones have been stretching reasonably. So far so good 😊 Feeding: Wed:8thNov 3L each with nuts ph'd 6.3 Sat:11thNov 2L each water only ph'd 6.4 ------------------/////-----/////----- Did some defoliation here and there and some more today as per last 2 pictures. Many Bud sites, this shall be an interesting sight when in full bloom😋 Clone#3 soil media still wet from Saturday's watering 🤔 Swapped her around with Clone#2 Will see if that changes anything.. i might have to add a fan pointing out that way far right of the GT Had same issue when growing my black buds🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 That's it for now folks!! Thanks for stopping by, likes and comments are appreciated 😉 Keep on growin! Keep on tokin!!! 😙💨💨💨💨💨

Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

Grew great. My harvest information was in previous week. This plant looks like dense nugs of goodness. Sweet seeds has always been some great smoke. Working on final trim now. Thanks everyone and happy growing. I will be back soon with final weight.

Hey Freunde, ich hab heute spontan geerntet (leider etwas zu früh), aber jetzt kann ich mich auf Weihnachten konzentrieren und die Trichome waren fast alle milchig, also halb so wild. 🤓 Für den ersten Run nach über 10 Jahren bin ich relativ zufrieden, vor allem in der kurzen Zeit! 🦊 Die Bilder sind Leider nicht wirklich gut geworden, war ohne Lampe leider zu dunkel, aber ich mach nochmal welche wenns getrocknet is! Ich wünsch euch und euren lieben schöne Feiertage und frohe Weihnachten! 🎄💚

Added Buddy halfway through this week. Really impressed with these nutrients so far, there's been no problems or defeciences the entire grow. All plants look happy, healthy and green. This plant is on the left of the timelapses.

These are great smellin buds very fruity and very strong. The small one is the smallest out of the whole crop. I'm guessing another week before flush, started bring in ppms down today and lowered my base.

So she got hit with some fricken bugs pretty bad and I tried combating them and in doing so I ended up stunting her quite a bit or I think my buds would be 2x the size. Thats alright though I should still end up with a good amount of golf ball sized buds. They really started packing on the trichomes since I moved her into a much sunnier area so I think the quality will catch up just not the size. All in all I'm happy that I am going to at least get her to harvest!! I will be using neem seed and some other biological methods next season so I won't have to spray any of my plants with any pesticides or fungicides. The ones I saturated with flower shield and organishield didn't like it very much and it ended up stunting them for up to 3 weeks which really sucks considering I'm gone on for the next 2 weeks and will need to pull everything before I leave whereas if they hadn't of got stunted It would have been in the exact time frame I needed them to be before I leave....sigh

The new week starts in a new pot, I hope the transition will going well. 🙏🏼 I will water it from the bottom, but not decided whether or not to stop feeding from top. Also she has been 3rd topped on day 27, now I let her shoot upwards. All the best little gal! 😘 DLI has been set to 35. 💡 Day 31 - after 5 days I added 4L to the tray. I will keep using the wet-dry cycle.

Amazed by the smell.Cant even explain it.sweet citrus. Smell like cookies. Started 1 blue gelato in flush .second blue gelato 41 start flush in couple off days,probely one more small feeding .The critical kush 1 more week in feeding than flush. That's mean I almost there.didt had not one issue with my grow. But knowing its not over yet.I'm realy excited 😁. Peace✌️

7/10/24 testing testing. can i post updates now? beautiful buds. the leaves are changing into a blue color. it reminds me of some of the blue city diesel i got from a buddy back in the medical days.

Pineapple express auto has been absolutely one of the most exciting plans I’ve ever grown. The growth is explosive. Once it goes into flower the highest yield I’ve ever had on a auto nice dense: cola even the lower nugs are nice and firm as her leaves fall off one by one she Starts looking like a Christmas tree of nugs The Terps are outstanding truly smells like a pineapple she fades kinda looks like a pineapple I love how fastbuds420 names, All right on point truly pineapple express auto🔥💯

So please don"t trip out on this. I know my conditions are not accurate or my nutrient amounts. Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Kids, make sure you keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

Starting week 8 droped day and night temps to 70 day 68 67 night started bring out colors in both strains! Runts is insane orange color solid fat nugs with the pie is purple and frosted almost to a white color. The smell of both strains is out of this world keeping the temps consistant is the key to having high terpiene content. Just the slightest touch makes both these girls so loud of fruit and cake batter or cookies from the runtz, too the overpowering lemon or manderin orange from the pie. Starting to get real close on the beauties gana push them to their limits!!!

This week I've just been feeding, watering and defoliated the girls.

Amazing plant, very high in thc and some very nice sweet and fruity terps, something like a banana punch strain. The buds are nice and hard and i got 2 outstanding phenotypes with extreme thc production, in general the terps are quite the same on all plants. These girls are very easy to grow and not much of expertise is needed, we just gave some greenhouse biogrow and biobloom together with some sugars and other addictives. In 7 liter pots we got around 35-40g per plant which is quite good. These plants showed good resistance to lollypop and other HST

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

Started 12/12 light cycle. Normal week. watering up to 1.5 L a day. co2 PPM @ 1250. Defoliated due to massive growth and to bring light to the tops.
