2 week old Gorilla Z Auto looks stunted… hasnt grown much at all

Week 7 of flower in the books and we’ve had to adjust to the height issues in an attempt to salvage what we can of the largest mains on the cheese. Really should’ve done this 2 weeks ago and while it’d be preferable not to supercrop this late in flower - there really wasn’t a choice. It was done early in the week and the plant is none the worse for wear. On the whole, the nute burn issue has been rectified and while the damage isn’t massive, it’s still really obvious. For all the above reasons, We’re really not going to get that late flower look with this plant. Kinda sad there. Otherwise, the plants have begun to colour up and were quickly coming in to the harvest window. At this rate it looks like the gorilla cookies and cherry Bomb will go off first, with the cheese to follow and the lemon haze last. The GC is absolutely covered in trichs. We expect a great finish for this one. She’s unlike any pheno I’ve seen on here - ducksfooted with a pineapple shape to her heads but again, got it where it counts. The cherry Bomb is similar but also true to her description - huge cherry diesel scent coming off this plant. She’s chunky and sticky too so very pleased she’s made something of herself. The lemon haze is developing And rounding out slower. Trich production is moderate and I suspect she’s got a week longer than the rest. We’re getting there - maybe a week to 10 days. Almost time for jazz hands👍😎. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Hallo zusammen! Hatte mich nachdem ich letztes Mal geschrieben habe, dass ich die Pflanzen noch eine Woche in der Vegi halten will, dann doch umentschieden und sie jetzt schon in die Blüte geschickt. Die Pflanzen waren von der Höhe her ideal und sahen gesund aus, da hab ich die Gelegenheit gleich mal genutzt. Die Lichtintensität wurde auf 50% erhöht (~ 150W) und etwas tiefer gehängt (etwa 40 cm über dem Blätterdach). Die Wassermenge wurde ebenfalls erhöht, brauchen jetzt pro Tag so um die 1L. Ich hab zu den drei vorherigen Düngern noch Bud Candy (2 mL/L) hinzugefügt. Jetzt heißt es abwarten, bis die Pflanzen ihren Stretch machen und das Zelt schön gefüllt ist. Dann mit einem scrog alles anpassen und immer wieder bisschen entlauben und fleißig gießen. Das war’s fürs erste - wünsche euch noch eine schöne Woche! Gruß Wulle

Had to leave out of town for 8 days. My girls suffered both heat stroke and dehydration. I fed them and saturated the fabric pots. I also turned the dehumidifier off for the next 12 hours since the rain has slowed, for now. It doesn't look like the grew much this week. I'm afraid this is going to make the final weight significantly less than it would have been.

Slight nute burn from last weeks feeding, you can just see yellowing on the tips, this week just fed water and molasses, 1 tbsp to 3ltrs, also gave a small water mid week, PH at 6.5. For the molasses the filtered water was coming out at a PH of 8, added the molasses which brought it down to 5.8. Plants looking and feeling healthy, I think most of the stretch is over and now she is concentrating on fattening up her buds, starting to frost...boom. Continues to respond well to LST, have only had to give a slight defoliation so far.

Eternity Grow Cup 2025 with Plagron and Zamnesia 🏆 – Runtz Automatic from Zamnesia Seeds 🌱 Our beautiful lady is now 30 days old and standing proudly at around 28 cm. She has officially entered the flowering stage, and we couldn't be happier with how she's developing. Her leaves are healthy and vibrant, and she’s showing great structure and strength. She's been loving the nutrition provided by Plagron—a brand we trust for its consistency, ease of use, and excellent results. Daytime temperatures are between 25°C and 29°C, with humidity levels between 50%–60%. At night, it cools down to 20°C–22°C with humidity rising to 60%–70%, creating an ideal environment for her to flourish. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the amazing Runtz Auto genetics—this strain is already showing serious potential. And of course, our gratitude goes to Plagron for their top-quality fertilizers that help us grow strong, healthy, and beautiful plants. We’re excited to see what the next few weeks bring—stay tuned!

here we go folks another week in. Girls are looking in top condition. x2 stardawgs on one side are sativa dominant and are thankfully set under scrog. Other side is squat and bushier girls (x1 stardawg, x1 Blue dream), figured they don't need Scrog - Blue Dream is either sensitive to Ph fluctuations (less likely) or lacking a bit in Magnesium., So will be increasing cal mag for them she is getting brown rust spots on fan leaves. I will say girls are responding very well to recharge , on every feed I see immediate boos tin canopy. I expect good yield hopefully if all goes well, they are stacking nice !! blueprints for colas 😍 Iv done another big defoliation to girls as well and lolipopped to how I wanted...little bits n bobs never end until girls are finished so... auto pilot mostly from here on. no insects in the room gives me confidence. Enjoy the pics and stay safe.

Gave her a good defoliation this week along with spreading out the branches a little. Couldnt bend the main cola over as it is still recovering from the damage. Overal she seems to be healthy. Been removing leaves here and there and she doesnt seem to mind at all.

This week starts well, I haven't encountered any particular problems except for slower growth compared to an 18h or 24h, 100w 16h a day makes growth slower, after all you learn from mistakes, we'll see how it continues 🍪💐❤️

Soweit war diese Woche alles in Ordnung bis ich mitte der Woche entdeckt hab das die Orange Bud an zwei Stellen das schimmeln angefangen hat.. Hab alles grob weg geschnitte sie dann im endeffekt trotzdem paar Tage später geerntet weil die Trichome für meinen Geschmack schon ready waren. Hab die Luftfeuchtigkeit dann nochmal versucht weiter runter zu bekommen.
