Welcome to Week 1 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow courtesy of the fine folks at Sweet Seeds! This is the second of three consecutive grows/diaries that I am doing to showcase the tried and tested genetics from this reputable seed breeder. My last grow was a smashing success so I have high hopes for this grow as well. Nothing much to report for Week #1 although I will mention that the first watering was only 0.7 of a litre per plant (0.18 of a litre per plant per day) and the second was 1.4 litres per plant (0.35 of a litre per plant per day). I am watering on my usual schedule of every fourth day as this seems to be the sweet spot throughout past grows. I am using the usual- air bubbled tap water that is PH’d to around 6.0 and if need be (over the winter months in Canada) warmed to 68-70 degrees prior to hand watering with a small watering can. The seedling that lost one of it’s cotyledon leaves is fine but still a little smaller than her sisters. So now on to Mom’s tip of the week… Mom’s Tip for Week #1 is- YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR- QUALITY IS KEY!… When considering growing Cannabis, even on a small scale, quality is an important factor in all aspects from the seeds to set up to the supplies used throughout the grow. Starting with seeds from a established breeder will raise the odds considerably in your favour for a successful outcome. Many seed companies are more than willing to ship out freebies while building up their brands which seems attractive to new growers- but use at your own risk! There’s nothing worse than being halfway through a grow and discovering male flowers tucked in amongst the lowest branches or realizing that your beautiful buds have been mysteriously pollinated just weeks before harvest. I know that seeds from a reputable seed breeder are usually more expensive and can be hard to access in certain parts of the world. But purchasing quality seeds from a reputable seed company is the first step towards homegrown Cannabis success. An area that new growers often overlook due to the high price is the quality of crucial components in their set up- including tent, lights, and intake/exhaust fans. Anyone can get away with cheaper pots, oscillating corner fans, water pumps for dechlorination, etc but it’s worth every penny investing into the workhorses of your entire operation. An initial investment of around two thousand dollars will provide serious growers with the longevity and hassle free basics needed. If done right, quality components will pay for themselves within the first 6-12 months of use and continue to serve your needs for 3-5 years to come. Supplies used throughout the grow are the final area where quality is important but somewhat subjective too. Although I’ve already stated that I don’t feel the need to spend big dollars on all the extras (pots, oscillating fans, water pumps for dechlorination, PH/moisture meters, etc- I do believe in doing my homework to make sure that I’m getting the best bang for my buck. I thoroughly research every item purchased and used in my grows by reading customer reviews, speaking with other growers and sometimes even trial and error at my own expense. Making quality an important factor in all aspects of Cannabis cultivation will benefit you, your grows and the planet we live on. 🌳🌎🌳

Good vibes only

It's been two weeks since I added the last pictures, I'm glad they're growing, they're blooming, but I'm not satisfied when I see when I see other growers' plants I'm ashamed, I'm glad at least that as a beginner I managed at least this...

Day 22, 8th of October 2020: Ajjjjjjjjj..... Smthg happened to me that never before. Tricky story. 2 days ago I watered her more a bit also placed closer to the lamp. Yesterday I saw the leaves started wilting and the lowest ones yellowing. I thought I overwatered her so let her all night and today checked seeing she looks worse ... I was like what the fuck.... I removed her from the pot it was not overwatering problem it was underwatering problem. The soil was like the desert ... But how? Just watered her recently may be because I have placed closer to the lamp. It was also suspicious because this pot has no holes at all so thought not able to drain. No....She is very thirsty ..😅 I just gave her a lot and wahoo she has woken up! That is the reason of those yellow leaves are at the bottom. The girl in the picture just recovered 3 hours ago she looked like a dead wilting plant.... omg... I wanted to do main-lining today but need to be delayed she needs to recover 😩 so I will do it 2 days later ... Apart from that she is totally cool 😎 Beautiful :) And yes everything continues the same way :) Day 23, 9th of October 2020: Alright... she is cool today I managed to do Main-lining. :)

Week 8 as of yesterday, January 8, 2025. Today is day one (1) of Week 9. If anyone has any suggestions as to whether or not I should Harvest the one plant, please help. With Mephisto Genetics' new releases there is no picture of what the plant should look like when finished and believe it or not, I am still new at this.

Overall a good time spent... Loved sitting and paying weekly attention to the environment its quite therapeutic.. Even if its a case of sitting and staring for 20 minutes... (effects and taste will be updated once completed drying)

The clone of Ayahuasca Purple have a gap of growing very impressive !! I’m working on it to do my first Main lining for now the results are great her reaction to low stress training and topping are beautifull ! she never stop to grow i love this plant

So after all is was those couple tree making all the noise harvested dem in the week now the place is back to normal.....didn't do any feeding this week but the wip is coming out so they can make up for lost time 🤣

Ahoy, green comrades and Power Buds enthusiasts! Gather 'round for the Week 5 Veg Report, where the saga of Jelousy continues to unfold in all its leafy glory. This week has been nothing short of spectacular, filled with growth, joy, and a touch of botanical magic. Now, brace yourselves for the root revelation – it was a week of root madness! Jelousy's roots decided to throw a green party of their own, growing with such vigor and enthusiasm that I couldn't resist but give her a grand ticket to her final pot. Yes, folks, the time has come for our green companion to settle into her permanent botanical abode. Let's talk about the grand ceremony – the transplantation. As always, I employed the mystical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix to accompany Jelousy on her journey. This mix isn't just a sprinkle of magic; it's a symphony of beneficial microorganisms, working in harmony with the plant. During transplanting, the mycorrhizal fungi in the mix establish a connection with Jelousy's roots, creating a dynamic partnership. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while Jelousy graciously provides them with sugars. It's like setting up a botanical support system, ensuring our green companion has everything she needs to flourish in her new and final home. Now, let's talk about a little gardening finesse – defoliation. As Jelousy reached for the skies, I decided to give her a little grooming session. Removing some of the older, lower leaves not only allows for better light penetration but also encourages the plant to focus its energy on the growing tips. It's like giving our green friend a botanical spa day, where she can channel her energy into the areas that truly matter. But wait, there's more! I couldn't resist taking a few clones. It's like preserving a piece of Jelousy's green magic for the future. Who knows, maybe we'll have a whole family of Jelousies thriving in the garden. And speaking of the garden, we've welcomed a new member – a little Buddha acting as the guardian of our growing oasis. He stands tall, radiating tranquility and showering blessings upon our flourishing green kingdom. He seems to be particularly fond of the tree growing beside him – our very own Jelousy. It's like having a silent guardian, watching over the botanical wonders unfolding. As we revel in the beauty of Week 5, let's extend our gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for guiding us through this enchanting journey. Their support is the wind beneath our leaves, propelling us toward horticultural greatness. A nod of appreciation to the vibrant Grow Diaries community – your shared passion and wisdom continue to enrich our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation accompany you through every green endeavor. Here's to a week of roots finding their home, leaves reaching for the heavens, and the garden flourishing under the watchful eye of our Buddha guardian. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

very well, fragrant and resinous buds, it doesn't miss much anymore. I use co2 tablets on the hottest days. Very happy and satisfied 👽😎

Using advanced nutrients 3/4 strength Switched to general hydroponics full strength on day 40. So this strain is also known as Cookie Monster Auto, and although the flowering times is listed as 55-63 days, the only full grow i can find the guy says it took 90 days and he got a huge yield from one plant. These three girls are prolly going to outgrow this tent, but that's not a bad thing :)

Unfortunate Week... Honey cream had a couple of "budrot" spots forming due to droplets of water dripping into the flower and not drying (99%humidity nights)... Thankfully those buds were cut down and she doesn't seem to be producing any more "budrot".. Apart from that, the smell is amazing on her. Power Flower is going nicely too, but seems to not have too much smell...

We are in flower for this 💚 ORION F1 AUTOFLOWER GROW 💖 The Organic Dry Amendments plant has really grown tall, I should have trained the plant earlier, aside from topping, which I did early on. I LST'D the plant yesterday on the 11.7.25, I tied down the branches with soft garden twine to the grommets I added to the pots. As the plants have been left for too long, they have grown tall, and now it is more difficult to train them. 💖 ORION LIQUID NUTRIENTS PLANT 💖 I LST'D on the 11.7.25 as above. This one is starting to stretch from flowering and had gotten taller as with the other plant. Let's see how the training goes. They are looking a bit straggly. So hopefully, they will fill out with some more leaves and flowers. You can check out the other diary to see how I cared for each plant, and the comparison if you're interested 🙂 💖 ORION F1 LIQUID NUTRIENTS 💖 Here is what I did this week. 8.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.9 and containing the following nutrients; 💜 1/2 TSP Cal-Mag 💜 1/2 TSP Mega Crop Part A PH: 5.9 PPM: 1500. 12.7.25: I watered again today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 and containing the following nutrients; 💜 1/2 TSP Mega Crop Part A 💜 1/2 TSP Cal-Mag PH: 6.0 PPM: 1440 Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments 😊💚✌️🌱🙏🍃

Any advise anyone what’s goin on here gpt asked it about half a dozen times says is not mold but is frost I looked it under loop it looks like icy shit but when I flake the leaves it goes everywhere !? lol

Second run with these genetics, I ran her last time in a 5.4 gallon container, I got the grape pheno, higher yield with the first run, but much tighter nugs with this run. This one smells much more earthy/gassey and less grapey. I ended up with just under 26 zips of nugs, 2 zips of Larf which I will turn into canna sugar, and my buddy made a 35 gram brick of bubble from the trim. It should be dry in the next few days and I'll post a video of the squeeze, hoping to get around a zip of rosin which I will split with him since he turned the bubble...Super excited to squeeze some nugs once the cure is done, Ill post vids of them as wel. Next run I'm planning to try and cram 2 plants inside a 5X5, build mainlines, and flip by week 6 or 7....Switching to two 315 W CMH bulbs up top, and LED's on 2 of the sidewalls for supplemental lighting. Looking forward to it, stay safe, blaze on!

Die Blüten zeigen sich langsam Schritt für Schritt 💚
