6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

Sticky beast is waiting for some good sunrays so she can break out of my garden!!😎👏👏👏 Garden is smelling real sweet too, thanks to her 😵👌 I love her structure, i have topped her, but LST was not that necessary.. only defoliation, a lil bit.. i love that bc i hate LST, (im not that good in it..😳) She turned out great, she grew open and wide.. just by herself. 😇👍(maybe also becouse i let her dance in the wind 😎 and move her around a lot) Lots of bad weather this week(cold and wet, she is in greenhouse a lot).. but luckily her buds are still healthy👌 And dont forget: FOR ALL MY GROWBRETHREN/SISTREN IS A DISCOUNT CODE: ZAMMIGD2023 happy growing for all ✊

Week 4: Pre-Flower - The Hunger Games Begin! 🌱➡️🌸 Currently bumping: Larry June - Organic Tokens 🎵 All three ladies have officially hit pre-flower! The transition is happening, and these girls are making it crystal clear—they're HUNGRY. Time to step up the organic feeding game. All Three Ladies - Pre-Flower Mode Activated Apple Fritter, Lemon Cherry (Right), and Lemon Cherry (Left) are all showing those telltale pre-flower signs—pistils popping, internodal stretch beginning, and most importantly, an increased appetite that plain water just isn't satisfying anymore. Last Week's Feeding: Roots Organic Veg Tea Ratio: 1 tbsp per gallon mixture Applied as a soil drench to boost available nutrients The Reality Check: It helped, but it's not enough. They're telling me loud and clear that they need MORE as they prepare for the energy-intensive flowering phase. The Organic Solution - Double Trouble Top Dress Time to bring in the big guns! Preparing for flower means giving these girls a nutrient-rich foundation they can pull from over the coming weeks. Upcoming Top Dress Mix: Half-strength Roots Organic Terp Tea (bloom-focused formula) Gaia Green All Purpose (balanced NPK for transition support) This combo gives them: Immediate microbial activity from the Terp Tea Slow-release nutrition from Gaia Green Support for both the vegetative finish AND early flower development Enhanced terpene production (that's what we're here for!) Application plan: Light top dress on the soil surface, then water in gently. The microbes will get to work breaking everything down, making nutrients available exactly when the plants need them. Why This Approach Works Pre-flower is the PERFECT time to top dress: Plants are entering their hungriest phase Organic amendments take time to break down—starting now means nutrients are available when flower really kicks in The transition from veg to bloom nutrients happens naturally as different microbes activate Less risk of overfeeding compared to liquid synthetic nutes Key Observations These girls went from "we're good" to "FEED US" seemingly overnight. That's pre-flower for you—the metabolic shift is real. The stretch is beginning, which means they're pulling hard on nitrogen, phosphorus, AND potassium. The Gaia All Purpose will cover the NPK bases while Terp Tea brings the micronutrients and beneficial biology. Larry June voice: "Organic garden, hand-crafted nutrients, you feel me?" 🎶 Next Week's Plan Apply the Roots Terp Tea + Gaia Green top dress Water thoroughly to activate the amendments Monitor how quickly they respond to the feeding Watch the stretch—may need to start LST or support stakes soon Keep the music bumping and the vibes organic ✌️ Pre-flower is when the magic really starts happening. Let's give these ladies everything they need to absolutely THRIVE! 🔥🌿 Good soil + hungry plants + organic amendments = the recipe for terpy, flavorful flowers. Let's get it! 🎵

Il me semble que les puissante brûlure son due au pk13-14. J'ai effectuer un rinçage . En attente de résultats, espérons ne pas brûler les bud

Very Nice looking and good Smelling Plant. Buds after Trim are medium dense but very tasty. Flavourwise it goes into ripe Berrys with a hint of Citrus and Soapyness in the background. The Plant looks exactly like on the pictures High-Giraffe-Seeds shows on their website. All in all definetly a recommendable Plant to grow.

This was the ladies last week! I’ve been watching the tricomes, #1 is mostly cloudy with a touch of amber, # 2 could go just a bit longer as there are mostly cloudy with a few amber and some clear… but I have a schedule to keep to make tent space available. Fed the ladies straight ph’d water for 4 feeds, being sooooo hot they have been needing water every other day, which turned out perfect! Super happy with the smells so far, typical Kush with a very pleasing earthy aroma 🤤 Into my 2x4 AC infinity controlled tent for hopefully a 10 day slow dry @ 60% RH. It’s been so dang hot, temps in my basement with AC are still hovering around 72 degrees!

La fin se rapproche pour la bannana x purple punch (je vien de lui donné sont premier rincage;) C est une plante vraiment facile à faire pousser elle peut encaisser de gros EC Et elle n à pas trop de feuille (facile à trimer ;) je pense donc que même un débutant peut avoir de très bon résultats avec cette souche il faudra juste la nourrir correctement (pas besoin de lst ou autre technique, juste lui laisser assez de place pour grandir (en hauteur comme pour les racines = big roots = big fruits ;) Pour la WEST COAST OG c est pareil on dirais elle sont en pilot automatique (tellement je n ai rien a faire a part arroser ) J ai au début mis 2 anneaux (technique que j aime bien quand j fais pousser une plante la première fois, au cas où il faudrait écarté les branches etc) mais la on en aurait presque pas besoin pareil que pour ka bannana il faut juste lui laisser assez de place pour les racines et lui laisser assez de place (largeur hauteur ) et des bon nutriment à bonne dose et normalement vous devriez avoir le même résultat que moi ;) Je doit dire que la west coast a une odeur magnifique et les photos pour toutes seul pour se qui est de la cristallisation :) Voilà les amis je m arrêt ici pour cette semaine on se retrouve pour la recolte de la bannana (la west coast à besoin de bien 10 jours encore avant le rincage)

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

Did some defoliation now that they are solid into flower, to keep air flow to cut down on chances of mold and to expose lower bud sites to sunlight. I also fertilized again with about 2 buckets of 14 total gallons of water with above nutes minus flora gro, at 1300 ppms aprox.

DAY 97: Lucky Charms smells fantastic. And she's just starting to plump up now. I am super excited to smoke this one as the quality is going to be amazing. Story time: My 12 month lease got terminated 6 months early, last week. The owner of the house is selling it and, as of today, we have 50 days to get out and somewhere else. So I can't flower the White Widow as soon as I'd hoped. I can't flower anything until we get into the new spot and my veg area is getting CROWDED. I have a new place lined up but I'm stressing about moving all this shit 2 hours, and twice as worried that I may have to find a motel or something for a day or two while our new house is ready for move-in. At that point, I literally have no idea what Im going to do with any of the plants. Life is crazy. But since I wont even be flowering the White Widow until this move is complete, I'll keep ya updated on how it all goes. 🙏 The White Widow wants nothing more than to be in the Flowering room. Even if the lease thing wasn't happening, I still need to work on my timing. I've been popping beans a little too soon and now I have 3.5 waves of plants in a major traffic jam lol.

Welcome to my Gorilla Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto !!!!!!!!!HARVESTED!!!!!!!!!!HARVESTED!!!!!!!!!! Rating will be done once dried + 1 wk cure. Then vaped, smoked and put back in the jar for 4-8 more weeks. (SADLY, I DELETED THE PICS LAST NIGHT. AFTER UPLOADING TO A NEW 3 WK, WK, AND PAUSED IT. CAME BACK LATR AND STARTED UPDATE ON ANOTHER, WIPING AWAY 3 WKS OF PICS...GRRRRRR Roughly 105-110 days. 55-60 Days in flower. WEEKS 13-14-15 Days was harvested. Noticed a lot of dead leafs in-between the buds. Pult it back to start pulling it out. And was covered in fuzz. The Pure Zym had started degrading the dead leafs that she threw off last wk when she turned yellow. And, the smell she look of rot. So, had to go thru everything. In total 3 of the biggest buds had to be stripped, opened and cut out the rot. (Thankfully I know what to look for) so, 98-99% of it was fine. Just 3 big ass buds,,(semi colas) so so dense. And yeah. I was running her in co2 with 70+ RH with temps pushing 30c but, even in her last week of fattening she took to co2 so a bat outta hell. HARVESTED METHODS Pult and was checking her trichomes. 90-95% cloudy. And was pulling dead leafs and noticed fuzz. Harvested ASAP. She was already on water for a wk. So I stripped, checked, cleaned out the dead leaves, and de-stemed and hung on my 8 tier net Drier. Was amazed when going through her bud, removing dead leaf after dead leaf from within the buds,( BTW, was very satisfying. Was like I was 15 again in wood class pulling wood glue from my hand while the teacher driveled on. 'Memories) anyways, I digress. So, she's hung, far from ideal temperature. 21.5-19c. So, she'll dry fast. Thankfully she was heavily fed on water all week. I did flush the soil to check the ppm was 290 bit higher than I'd like. Its why I soft flush for 10-14 days. But, I panicked. And stripped her. Delighted I lost very little. Video above to what I cut out, and some of the buds. So dense Lights SP/FC 3000 SP 3000 was used from start to 2/3rds thru fattening phase. Then the FC 3000 was used with co2. Buds exploded. THANKS TO PURE INSTINTO FOR THEIR SEEDS TO TEST. And also big thanks to mars-hydro for allowing me to test their lights. Much appreciated to all who viewed, liked &/R commented, look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 11 Flower 7 Blue Cheese 1 is in her last week; March 17 Blue Cheese 1 that was planted in coco had her wet trim and was put in the dark for 2 days before getting the chop on March 20. Blue Cheese 1 shows fade and nutrient usage in the upper leaves. I also see pinks and purples in the buds and leaves. They look pretty with lime greens, pinky purples in the bud formation. The buds are stacking fatter and packing on more resin on the buds which are sticky and hard. The trichomes look mostly milky with some amber as well. The stems are strong and support the heavy buds. Blue Cheese 2 in soil will remain with her tent mates Pink Rozay & Love Potion. After flushing excess nutrients out of the soil and plant, Blue Cheese 1 in coco is matured faster than Blue Cheese 2 in soil. Blue Cheese 2 shows trichome formation starting to milk up compared to BC1. Her leaves are still green with no fading. The older pistils are turning orange brown and water consumption is slowing down for both girls. She still needs a few more weeks before I’ll start flushing. Blue Cheese 2 was fed on March 17 & 19. Pics were taken on the 17th. Bloom Juice 120 ml Royal Rush 0 ml Power bud 15 ml Green sensation 15ml Cal Mag 20ml Recharge 5ml Ppm ranged from 676-777 Ph 6.5 Temp 68 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫
