Hello fellow growers! 🌱 Despite a few bumps along the way, I'm thrilled to share that my contest journey is officially underway. After some delivery hiccups with the controller, the third attempt was the charm – it finally made it to my doorstep! 🚚💨 The initial excitement hit a snag when I faced issues connecting the controller. 🤔 Thankfully, the fantastic support team guided me through the troubleshooting process, and voila! 🛠️ My controller is now up and running smoothly. As I eagerly await the next stages, I haven't ventured into using the light adapter just yet. Stay tuned for updates on my growing adventure! 🌿

Week 3 Day 1 8/26/2023 Water Change Day!! Added: 36 gallons of Water TPS SILICA GOLD-.5mil/Gal Root Drip- 1mil/Gal CALMag- .5mil/Gal GH FLoraMicro-4.2mil/Gal GH FlroaGro-3.8mil/Gal GH FLroaBloom-3.0Mil/Gal ORCA-.5mil/Gal She continues to look Amazing and to be doing an amazing job! Week 3 Day 2 8/27/2023 Topped her a little and took a little from the bottom. The PH was just a little high so I added 4mil PH down to get it to 5.86. Week 3 Day 3 8/28/2023 Topped her a little and just enjoyed her beauty. Week 3 Day 4 8/29/2023 Topped her a little, and started cleaning up the lower 1/3, I am starting with the fan leaves that are touching the clay and some of the lower, lower portion but leaving the stems for when I take clones. Week 3 Day 5 8/30/2023 The temp has been getting to 79-80 the last few days and I don't like it that high. I lowered the light to 29 inches and decreased intensity to reach the 350ppfd for the plants. By dropping the light it should also drop the temperature. I took a few bottom leaves as I start my clean up, leaving the lower stems for clone material for now. Week 3 Day 6 8/31/2023 Found out why the temp had been getting so high in my tent and my grow room, the controller for my other light for my other tent was malfunctioning and overheating. I guess this was the unknown contributing factor to the sudden increase in temp, how am I sure about this, because the light no work no more. I am working with Spider-Farmer Warranty since the light was under a year old, very sad day yesterday was to replace my SE 7000 on my breeding plant which was in week 9 of flower with a VS2000 I am thinking I am going to have to cut my losses. On a good note she looks Amazing full on Growth Spurt happening, I adjusted the PH up slightly to get it from 5.81, to 5.89. Tomorrow Measurements incoming. Week 3 Day 7 9/1/2023 She is looking beautiful this morning! I took off some lower leaves cleaning up the bottom 1/3 but I left some of the Stems because I know I am taking clones in a few weeks. She has grown 5 inches over this last week.

Heeey! 👋 It's week two and everything went quite well I believe! The girls are growing and they look healthy! 💪 During the first days this week and while I was checking them I started to think how I could improve (and fix) what I did in my previous grow, specifically the veg. phase. I wasn't the brightest person in my previous grow because I left the lights at their maximum power during this phase to increase the overall heat of the tent (it was a winter where I live) and while that idea made total sense to me at that time later I found out that was a not the best idea at all 😰. By doing what I did it meant my plants were receiving way more energy they could handle and that meant the plants didn't grow as much as they could 😱😭 So, how could I improve that this time? The best way was to get a PAR meter so I could measure how much light my babies are receiving but those are expensive so the best option after was using the lux meter (or rather the RGB brightness sensor) that's available in my phone (most phones come with one) and by doing that I get a rough idea how much food my babies were receiving (in lux tho, not the best method but it helps to get an idea) 👌 The first days Pistachio and Matcha were getting about 8000 lux and as the week progressed I ended near 18000. Some websites said that amount was acceptable for young plants (they do not talk about the quality of the light tho). For the next week I plan to reach 24000 lux and stay around that 😊 I also think this week I'll move the girls to a slightly bigger pot and with each transplant I'll keep using mycorhizes (Mico Root are mycorhizes) to help the root development. Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll all enjoy the photos and timelapses I took (the 2nd one looks cool!) Cheers! 😃

The Mimosa x orange punch is budding up pretty good the dynamite desiel and og kush are starting to go but behind the mop for sure. All the photo plants are doing well and still stretching. Been watering the big plants every 2 days and the sour desiel auto about every 4 days. I saw some very early signs of bud rot on a few of the buds on the sour I immediately cut them off and separated the plant from the rest of them. We had 4 really hot humid days than 3 days of hard rain im thinking it came from that. I'm hoping I got it before its too late the plant got about 2 more weeks to harvest im hoping to make it I don't want to chop early but if I have to I will. Keeping a close eye on it. I'm still feeding grow nutes to the big plants and I've cut the bloom nutes in half for the sour auto im gonna feed one more time at 1 tsp and than start the flush

Se nos fue un poco de altura pero intentaremos arreglar el error farmers... al final quedo simplemente en podas apicales y de momento ramas muy finas. Iremos comentando el proceso Farmers!🍁

I topped the 2 last plants and started LST on all of them without any problem. The growth was pretty impressive this week, especially for the Wedding Cheesecake which is clearly bigger then the others. I had to add some supports to compensate the height difference between the plants. I removed some leaflets here and there during the week to give some light to the lower branches without removing too much leaves. I increased the light power to 75%. I will probably give them another week and then switch to the 12h/12h schedule. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 29cm Purple Lemonade : 22.5cm Wedding Cheesecake : 37cm

Day 104 - Final harvest taken place after I noticed a sprinkling of amber trichomes over most of her flowers. I will update this diary in a week or so with dry weights. I did not bother to weigh it wet. Upper buds seem nice and dense.

unfortunately I had trouble doing my LST and a branch broke while trying to fight against the tension. I changed my tent this week, the lamp and the Mars Hydro extractor convinced me that it was good gear so I took the tent in + 😀 Pulling all the branches with ropes is way too much work... I think I'll just pull the 2 main branches down and add a scrog net next week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Water: tap water (280ppm). I add 0.7g/L of Grow mineral powder and 0.2g/L of Calcium to reach 820ppm and I adjust the ph to 5.8 -Daytime temperature: 29°C -Night temperature: 25°C -Humidity: 45-75% -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 60% at 40cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 2/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

10 weeks total for the puzzurple pheno, 11 and 12 for the rest! Terpene levels and stickiness like I haven’t had before from autos!

📆 Semana 2 Tras el paso a 12/12, la planta entra de lleno en la transición a floración con una respuesta positiva. Se realizó un lavado de sales del coco de fábrica, dejando el sustrato limpio y más reactivo; a partir de ahí, la absorción de nutrientes mejora y la planta muestra mayor equilibrio. El pH y la EC ya se mueven en rangos estables, el verde se mantiene sano y la estructura empieza a definir los futuros puntos de flor. Las raíces ya dominan el coco y la energía se dirige a la formación de las primeras preflores, marcando el inicio real del ciclo floral. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪

11.07. OG KUSH Day 77# Today is the end of the eleventh week for the plants. There were storms all week and with the fact that they spent almost the whole week under stress (they were also under heat stress a couple of days before), I am certainly satisfied with the progress. On Tuesday, they were watered for the last time, with clean water, then it rained, and the next day it rained all day, since then they have not been watered, as soon as the soil dries I will feed them. Below in the table is the food that they received last time, but it is included in this week, and I introduced that as well. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

I grew two plants in one 4ltr pot and harvested 31grams! Don't put two plants in a 4ltr pot 😂🤣 Quality is awesome I love this strain, shame it's not more but it was an experiment anyway.

Hi everyone 🍃🍃🍃The girls do very well ...🍃🍃🍃 Pinching turned out to be a hit because everything looks nice and I enjoy my eyes when I look at them ...🍃🍃🍃 Happy growing 🍃🍃🍃

Was having some issues with the plants. To much heat not enough humidity. They started show deficiencies and had to flush #1,2,4,5. #3 was healthy with very little signs of issues. No flush. Stopping nutes for the rest of the grow. May use the fishshit still. Will use half recommend and see how that goes since its good throughout growth cycle.

06/04: Début 3ème semaine jusqu'à présent je suis content de moi, c'est ma deuxième culture. La première a été assez mouvementée et cette fois-ci je me sent plus à l'aise par rapport aux arrosages par exemple. J'ai choisi de ne pas utiliser du allmix par exemple pour pas risquer de brûler mon plant lors de l'engraissâge etc. 06/05: Aujourd'hui "tie down" des branches les plus basses. (LST j 0) + Arrosage à l'eau clair 400ml ainsi que toping des branches basses. 06/06: j'aperçois les premiers pistils la phase de pré-flo est sur le points de débuter je vais augmenter la luminosité petit à petit dans les jours qui viennent pour arriver autour des 70,000Lux en phase de flo. 06/07: je vais revoir mon planing d'engraissage et ajouter un engrais de flo. et du CalMag agent toutes les deux semaines, quand au GHE essential une fois par semaine en foliaire. 06/08: le filet est placé depuis ce matin, maintenant on attends l'étirement floral pour le remplir. 06/09: arrosage +/-500ml avec engrais, j'ai tenté de descendre le filet pour palliser le plant et commencer à diriger le branche dans les trous du filet mais j'ai changé d'avis car je le sentais pas, je préfère attendre le stretch et utiliser le filet quand les branches l'atteindront naturellement. 06/10: finalement j'ai fait un topping hiers soir car le fiming ne semblait pas prendre et le cola continuais a monter et a chaque nouveau noeud j'avais chaque fois que deux branche donc j'ai préferer le topping certaine branche latérale on déjà rejoint la hauteur de deux branche obtenue grâce au topping. je suis étonnée par la vigueur de cette variété qui se remet rapidement de tout stress!

They are strong, healthy and huge for now, they are still growing... They would need more space, but for now they have it. There is work to do with them... By the way, my favorite variety, which I have already grown several times, but only now am I making a diary from beginning to end. I would recommend Gorilla Cookies to everyone 😁🍀

9/18: I harvested one of them. Washed and hung to dry. 9/21: I harvested a couple more. Washed and hung to dry. 9/23: I harvested the last one. Washed and hung to dry. 10/7: I smoked some. I liked it. 10/8: I smoked some more. I'm really glad I have almost 15 ounces of it.😋 a) 69g b) 79g c) 93g d) 84g e) 88g Final thoughts: Easy to grow and train. The two I did some training on produced the most. The buds are dense while growing and remain so after they've dried and started to cure. They redden up beautifully in the jar and have a very mild but sweet minty/flowery smell that comes through in the flavor as well. It's a very strong Sativa buzz which is surprising considering they were the fastest FFT's to finish...among mostly Indica varieties. Potency: 8/10 Yield: 8/10 Flavor: 8/10 Aroma: 8/10 Bag-appeal: 8/10 Trouble-free: 10/10 NOTE: I couldn't find the photos I took of the first one I harvested, but it was the smallest (and stinkiest) of the bunch.

Late Flower has begun, and even though she’s kinda behind on schedule (estimated flowering time of 9 weeks), she’s killing off her old fan leaves and utilizing the newer leaves. I can see she’s naturally starting to fade, so I think I got about a week left. There has been a little hiccup at some point, her light switch plug malfunctioned while I was out and she missed a whole day worth of light and looked sad and dry. After watering, she rebounded in just a couple hours and continued to produce her calyxes. I hope this will be a good yield because some of her branches are starting to tilt as her buds start to swell.

Day 85 - the Ripening process is under way! a. fresh DWC with Ripening blend b. after 1 day it already is smelling sweeter in the box Day 86 - smelling wonderful a. the buds are all swelling b. i am surprised with how dense these buds feel Day 87 - stigmas are 80% orange a. had a look at trichomes, we are 100% milky white with no clears to be seen, some amber is coming in! b. she is drinking about 3L of ripening solution a day c. ive already prepared the flushing solution, 15 litres of de chlorinated water and 2ml/L FloraKleen. it will go in NEXT WEEK! Day 88 - wow! a. uploaded trichome microscope photo b. she has gone from drinking 5L a day to now about 2.5! c. uploaded a video d. removed a handful of leaves Day 89 - 12 hours light on/off now a. switched her over to flushing solution, FloraKleen 3ml/L... 15L is a clean DWC bucket. b. she had Ripen for 7 days and will flush for 2 or 3 days. c. the trichomes are perfect for what we are wanting!! Thanks @Bloombuster once again for helping us noobs out! d. we will harvest in a few days Day 90 - she is flushing well a. another day of FloraKleen flush b. she smells so good! Day 91 - time to end our journey! a. I will harvest the plant in a few days b. she is so thick and the buds are massive here c.

Day 48. Very busy week for me, this weekend I'll make a plan and we will see were each girl is ... Till then only pure water all week. Girls are starting to pump up and maybe I'll have 2 ounces from half of the plants, that's a lot better than my first view after holidays was ... There is one problem too, as seen in photos, one Lemonade OG in stucked in veg mode, her sister is second biggest plant in all tent after FB Strawberry Pie. Hope she will catch up others soon .... Happy Growing !!!
